Kept Pledge to Highwayman.

The fourth Earl Stanhope. when
on his homeward way late one dark
night, was held up By the most gen
tiemanly OF highwaymen. who pre-
ferred his request for money or the
nobleman's life In quite the incest
way. 1t happened that Lord Stan
hope had not any money with him
and was disinclined to yield the al
tentative. says the London Standard.
Your watch, then" suggested the
gentleman at the opposite end of he
pistol. That watch the Earl explain
ed. was dear to him. He valued II at
a hundred guineas. and would not
surrender It. What will do" he
said. is to bring and deposit In this
tree the worth of the watch in mon
ey. and you can call and get 1t to-
morrow night"
Done, IN lord" said the high
wayman.
The law knew nothing about this
arrangement. and the Earl did as he
had promised. He placed the hum
dred guineas where the highwayman
might at his leisure collect it. And
there, so far as he knew, the matter
ended.
Years afterward he attended a
great banquet in the city, and found
himself pleasantly entertained by an
extremely well known man, whose
signature was good for a sum In sew
eral figures, Next day came to Lord
Stanhope letter enclosing the sum
OF 100 guineas, Accompanying II
was note begging his acceptance of
loan granted some years previously
to the man who now forwarded IT,
That loan, said the letter, had en-
abled the sender to gain a new start
in life, to make fortune and to re-
new acquaintance at dinner on the
previous night with his lordship
The city magnate and the highway
man Of earlier days were one and the
same.

20 DEAD IN TRAIN WRECK.
Confused Orders Caused Collision on
the Boston g. Maine.

White River Junction, Vt. Sept
17.-Twenty persons are dead and
twenty-seven more or less seriously
injured as the result OF a mistake In
one figure by a train dispatcher in
Concord, which sent the southbound
Quebec express crashing head on in
to a northbound freight train on
the single track Of the Boston and
Maine Railroad four miles north Of
Canaan.
Confusion of the numbers 80 and
90 gave both trains the right Of way,
and the express had rounded a curve
into a straight stretch of track about
mile long when the freight train,
coming from the opposite direction,
bore down upon it. Both engine driv-
ers set their brakes and jumped. The
locomotives, locked in a firm en-
brace, rolled into a ditch, and the
baggage car of the express was shot
back into the first passenger car,
tearing 1t asunder from end TO end.

FROM ROCKEFELLER
Couldn't Raise Any One At the Back
Entrance, So He Went Around
Front Where He Was Halted
Dressed IN Ovcralls He Rode On
Freight Trains To New York.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 1s.-Secret Ser
front of President Roosevelt's house
at Sagamors Hill at O'Clock to-
night when he saw a man dressed IN
overalls and wearing a slouch ha.
step around from the rear Of the
house. Washer didn't say anything
at first, beceuse he thought the man
might be employed on the farm. but
when he went up on the porch and
started to ring the doorbell Washer
asked him what he wanted
Want TO see the President to get
him to make John y. Rockefeller pay
me s10,00O,000 he owes me-" the
man said. II now that's the only
way I'll ever get the money"
Washer asked the man about him
self and the visitor in the oyeralls
said he was Orlando Toland and had
come all the way from oxford, Ala,
TO see the President He said that
he had beaten his way on freight
trains to Washington and when he
found the President gone he stole a
ride to New York. He walked all
the way out to oyster Bay, he said.
Washer then sent hurry call ~
the oyster Bay garage for one OF
the Government automobiles and the
man was rushed down to the Execu-
tive Offices. There Secret Service
men who knew Alabama questioned
him, and were convinced that he was
telling tse truth.
Before It was decided what to do
with TolGnd the Secret Service man
routed out Of bed Constable Charley
Townsend with the idea of puttins
him in the lookup. When they talk
ed with the man little more they
decided that he was perfectly harm
less, gave him what he thought was
a letter 10 Rockefeller ordering him
to pay Toland what he owed him on
sight, and then sent him to New
York on the 10 o'clock train.
Toland told the officers that Rocke-
feller offered him s65, 100000 if he
would find out who murdered Ger
tain woman in St. Paul. He said he
didn't discover the murderer, but
thought his work on the case was
worth at least $10,000,O00.

CHANGING THE CALENDAR.


Zig Altt TGOlOns.
When julius Caesar came into
power he found the Roman calendar
in confusion. The Alexandrian as
tronomer, SosiCones, suggested the
Julian calendar, which, with slight
notifications, IS one we use to-day.
The beginning of the year was
moved back from March to January
/. Previous 20 that time September
was the seventh month (from sep
tenn seven). October the eighth (oc-
TO, eighth, etc. In honor Of himself
Caesar changed the name Of the fifth
month from Quiutilis to July.
Augustus Caesar, successor to
Julius, not TO be outdone, changed
the name Of the sixth month from
SeXtilis TO August, and stole a day
from February to make August as
great month as July.
At the time Of Pope Gregory the
Julian calendar had thrown tho
reckoning out ten days because the
year Is not quite 1854 days as had
been supposed. The calendar was
ten days slow. Gregory, following the
advice Of the astronomer Clavius, or
dered that ten days should be drop
ped 50 that the day following Octo-
Der /, 1852, should be the 18th In
stead Of the 5th, and that leap years
nc. tlyisible by 400.
The change was adopted in all
Catholic countries at once. but the
Greek Church and most Protestant
nations refused to change. England,
however, adopted the change In
1851, providing that the year 1852
should begin on January /, instead
OF March 25. and the day following
September 2, 1882, should be the
i4th instead Of the Sd, thus dropping
eleven days. Riots followed in many
places, since the people thought they
had been robbed Of eleven days, al
thought the act of Parliament was
framed so that no injustice resulted
In the payment Of rent, interest, etc.
Since 1900 and 1900 were Julian
leap years but not Gregorian. coun-
tries using the old Julian calendar
are now thirteen days behind the
Gregorian calendar. Thus in Russia
the 30th OF October is called the
18th. II writer In Russia wishes to
be accurate he writes the date Octo-
Der 1870, thus showing the date By
both calendars.

L!PTON's CHALLENGE.
Naincs a Yacht IN the 90 Foot Class.
In fnrmal Iettcr.

New York, Sept 1S.-The chal-
lenge for a race for the Am
erica's Cup. which Is now on It's
way across the ocean and which has
been sent by the Royal Irish Yacht
Club on behalf Of Sir Thomas Upton,
IS concise and to the point and Is
not hedged about by all sorts Of con-
dit.ous which might make 1t hard
for the New York Yacht Club to ac-
cept. II simply asks for a series of
races under terms similar to those
II which Sir Thomas has already
participated, asks that the yachts be
measured according TO the rule OF the
New York Yacht Club and names
yacht, the Shamrock ". in the 6s
foot rating class, or about II feet on
the water Inc, as the challenger.
This is stated on the authority Of
yachtsmen who are in the confidence
OF Sir Thomas Upton and who are
now in New York. They understand
that the challenge itself IL a very
brief document and they deny the
stories that so many changes from
the conditions Of former races are
asked for that there may be trouble
In having the club accept the present
challenge.

Richmond, Ind, Sept. 19.-When

AN ADVOCATE OF FREE LOVE.
California Lecturer Tells Ills Audi
ence Marriage Is a Crime.

San Francisco, Sept. lS.-The lee
ture OF Prof. Edgar Larkin, astron-
omer, who once was In charge of
Mount Lowe observatory, In which he
declared that matrimony was a crime
and asserted that free love was the
only hope OF the race, has created
indignation among San Francisco wo-
men. Prof, Larkin, whose beard Is
snowy with age, lectured before the
Sociological Society on "Is the An
glo-Saxon Race to Be Extinguished
In American" Among other things
he said:
Marriage for life Is the greatest
crime possible and marriage for any
stated length of time is a second de-
gree crime
He went on to develop the idea
that marriage places women in
bondage In which they can't develop,
and that marriage should be abolish
ed so as to allow women TO develop
mentally and physically and be pro-
perly fitted for motherhood.
