Boon to Railway Travellers.
Statesville Landmark. L


1t is given out from Washington
On. c. that Capt. David Hill, OF that
place, has invented a device by which
all dust and smoke can be kept
out Of a railroad car and fresh air
turned in. The air, it is said, can be
turned i'll by any passenger sitting
in his seat. A company has been
organized to promote the device. 1t
Will bring Joy to the heart of every
railroad traveller to hear of this in
vention and We truly hope it will
prove "a success. To keep out the
smoke and dust and at the same
time admit the air is a cause for re-
joicing, but If the invention is so ar.
ranged that the traveller who wants
air can have it while those who do
not want it need not be subjected to
draft, the cup of the traveller will be
full.

Kills Turtle to Save Hog.

w. F. James. an Arkansas sawmill
man and planter. relates turtle story
which he says occurred near his home
recently. Jim Gullick heard pig
squealing and upon investigation found
that large turtle had come up out OF
the water, had seized pig and was
dragging it's victim back to the water
when the hog became fastened be-
tween two cypress trees and the turtle
could not move it farther. All that
Mr.. Gullick could do would not make
the turtle release it's hold on the ari'
NAL, and he returned to his home and
secured an ak and chopped the turtles
head off. This turtle weighed more
than hundred pounds and was doubt
less very old.

POWDER PEELED HER ARM.
Explosion Took Skin Off In Shape Of
Mousuuetaire Glove.

Explosion Took Skin OFF In Shape OF
Mousquetaire Glove.
Caught in the fare of an explosion
which resulted from her own rash act
in pouring powder into the stove in
mistake for oil, Mrs. John Lis of Wash
ington county. Pa. had the skin Of her
eft arm stripped off from the elbow
othe finger tips Neighbors who rush
into the house to her relief discov-
cred on the floor what looked like a
long glove They picked it up and
discovered it was glove of human
skin, with the finger nails at the ends
of the fingers. There was not a break
In it anywhere. Even the finger nails
were attached to the skin as naturally
as though they still formed part Of the
victims hand. Surgeons who rushed
to the house were amazed when they
saw the effect of the explosion. They
also discovered the entire left side of
her body and the outer side of the left
leg also had been stripped Of skin.
"Singularly enough" one Of the sur
geons said, "there was not an abrasion
on the arm or leg, and the nail cells
were not injured. Will she recover:
Certainly. There is nothing to prevent
it. There never was perhaps such
freak effect from an explosion of pow
der"
Mrs. Lis was in a hurry to build
fire. She decided to accelerate the work
by using kerosene. Picking up what
she supposed was the oil can, she turn
ed it up and poured its contents into
the"stove. Unfortunately there was
lingering spark from the last fire. The
powder which she had poured in by
mistake ignited, and instantly there
was an explosion which startled the
neighbors and sent clouds of smoke
pouring out through the windows.
When those neighbors saw the long
glove of human skin they were star
tied almost as much as they had been
only few seconds before by the ex-
ploSiOn.

The dog is left alone at night in the
grain warehouse. One night fire broke
out in a remote corner Of the building.
Tuck knew it was up to him to sum-
mon help, but his barks were in~7ain.
Then he happened to think that he had
seen his master go to queer looking
instrument on his desk and take of
the receiver when he wanted to talk
to some one at distance. Tuck raced
into the Office, jumped upon the fat
top desk where the telephone rested
and In his excitement Knocked OF the
receiver. He barked and barked.
The girl operator in the exchange
saw the light come on for that number,
but could get no answer. All she could
hear was the barking Of dog. But
that was enough to tell her that some
thing was amiss at the Smart elevator.
She notified the police and a man
was sent to investigate. He found the
warehouse in flames The fire depart
ment was called and arrived in time
to prevent the place being destroyed.
Then Tuck has shown his keen per-
ception in other ways. His masters
business takes him frequently to Gin
cinnati and Columbus, which are In
opposite directions from Xenia. The
trains while pulling out from different
ends Of the station leave at about the
same hour, but the train returning
from Columbus arrives considerably
later in the evening than the one from
Cincinnati. But when the dog sees
his master start to either city he al
ways knows which train to meet in the

Gently testified before Vice Chancellor

seeks by habeas corpus proceedings to
get legal custody off his son. Henry
Junior. His mother, who lives In Jer-
sey now, has had the boy in her
charge by order Of the Sioux Falls
Is. d. court, where she got divorce.
Mr.. browne swore that he and his
family lived at the Windsor apart
ments, Broadway and F1fty-th1rd
street, in 1905. TO show that she
should not have charge Of the boy he
ascribed eccentricities to his wife, such
as a strong liking for intoxicants and
penchant for appearing outside her
apartment ''in garments perhaps suit
able for the stage put inappropriate
for house wear"
Then Mr.. browne stated that on the
morning after his wife and he return
ed from his mothers funeral in Prov
idence, r. l., he slept late, and on
arising he tried to enter his w1fe's
bedroom, where the telephone was, to
send a message to his Office. The door
was locked, and Mrs. browne refused
to open it. I'm hiding something from
you," she said laughingly. He did
not urge his wife to tell him what she
was hiding, but. they separated soon
afterward. Then she went to South
Dakota.
William Ludwig, who was an eleVa-
tor boy in the Windsor, was the next
witness. Ludwig said he remembered
we'll the day Mr.. and Mrs. browne re-
turned from Providence. Late that
night, Ludwig swore, he took up a
man." whom he named, to the browne
apartment, but only after the man de-
clared Mrs. browne had telephoned for
him. Ludwig said that Mrs. browne
in a robe de mutt opened the door to
her visitor and said softly:
Hush! Don't make noise"
Ludwig worked on the elevator all
that night, he added, but he did not
take down" this man.

Oskaloosa, Oct. "A five hundred
dollar overcoat hangs in the west win
dow Of the Jim Brown store on First
avenue east Nothing so unusual about
that in these days when men wear
overcoats that cost even more than
that. The unusual thing about this
coat is the fact that it is an old coat,
second hand, out of style, been worn
and worn again and still good for wear.
The peculiar thing about the coat is
the fact that it is made of materials
not on the market today. The wonder
full thing about the coat is that 1T is
almost 200 years old. The coat is the
property of John V. y. Balsem, a
Hollander, who resides on a farm near
Beacon. who has had it in his possess
sion and has worn it year after year
during the past forty years. The coat
belonged to his father before him, TO
his grandfather and his great grand
father, back in the land of the Dutch.
1t has been in the family since it was
made, in the year 1725, in one of the
large cities of the Netherlands. 1t was
custom made garment and was made
in style Of workmanship that is OBJ
solete today. Under the law Of the
land at that time a piece of property
of this value was recorded upon gov
eminent records together with the
makers and the purchasers name.
Some time ago a relative of the family
visiting in Holland, doubling the make
of the old coat, which is an heirloom
in the family took the trouble to hunt
up the records. The record Of the
garment had been preserved and was
found. with the name of the original
purchaser or owner for whom it was
made, a forefather of the family.
Mr.. Balsem has been offered three
hundred dollars for the garment, which
is in an excellent state of preservation.
The Innings are gone and fastenings
may have been renewed from time to
