Oldest Newspaper in West.

The oldest newspaper in the West
Indies, the st. Christopher Adver-
tiser, which has had a remarkable
history of 1913 years, is now suspended
temporarily through misfortunes which
oblige the editor and proprietor to ap-
peal to colleagues in other parts of
the world for assistance in procuring
new printing machinery and type
Through the long period of 1913 years
the st. Christopher Advertiser, a week
ly journal, has missed only five is
sues. The earthquakes of 1S43 stop
ped one weeks publication; the chol-
era epidemic of 1854, which killed
1000 people, caused the lapse of an
other issue. Fire in 1867 destroyed
the premises, and the issue for July
was prevented; but then the paper
reappeared in smaller size while the
office was being rebuilt. Non-arrival
of printing paper in 1878 Cancelled an
other issue, and the fifth lapse was
due to breakdown of the printing ma

The Sexes in America-

America is the field in which will be
harmoniously adjusted the differences
of das Ewig-Weibilche and the eternal
domineering male. Woman is not in
ferior to man but different from him,
as Stendahl would say Nevertheless
the two sexes are slowly approaching.
The man of to-day is more feminine
than his predecessors that is, he is
more gentle, civilized; while the wom-
an, casting away old-fashioned incrust.
Ing prejudices, is more masculine; 1.
e., she is not only more athletic, in
her tastes than her grandmother-she
is mentally broader and firmer in her
judgments. (Some day she will be so
far evolved" that she will be char.
liable to her own sex.) The franker
association of the sexes has proved
tonic to the woman, refining to the
man. These are schoolboy truisrhs
but they will always stand quotation.

HE CAUGHT THE TRAIN.
Conductor Had to Do Some Good
Sprinting to Make 1t.

The engineer of a passenger train
on the Delaware Valley railroad care
lessly pulled away from Coolbaugh the
other day without his conductor. Per-
haps he should have noticed that the
train was something like 10 pounds
lighter, but he is a good deal more of
an expert on waits of another sort
When the conductor happened to
look up and notice that the train was
gone he was quite vexed. He is not a
natural runner-and while he is a
train man he has never trained for
this particular kind of running. There
was nothing to do, however, but to cut
loose and chase it.
A stern chase is usually long one,
and the conductor sought to shorten
1t by whooping like a Choctaw Indian
in order to attract the engineers at
tention. But the latter official, with
one warty hand grasping the throttle
and the other clutching the bell cord,
was squirting up the line for preda-
tory cows, entirely oblivious of the
fact that the unhappy faretaker was
wheezing maledictions after him 100
rods away.
And then all at once the sound of
that warning yell reached him and he
jammed down the brakes. He jammed
them down so fiercely that the train
stopped with an unexpectedness that
caused the conductor to bang into the
rear platform in highly unpleasant
manner.
Ding blame youl" the faretaker
roared as he wildly danced about
Couldn't you get your old train out
of the way before l stepped on it?"
incidentally, it should be stated that
the Delaware Valley railroad, Penn
sylvania corporation. is - miles long.
and its management has not threat
ened to reduce the speed of its trains
because of the new two-cent passen-
ger rate.
