At One Time He Lived In the Most
Abjeet Poverty but His Plays
Brought Him Great Riches
and Renown.

Paris, Nov. 9.--Victorien Sardou,

title of frances greatest and most
prolific contemporary dramatist.

greatly beloved and there is universal
regret that he left no memoirs. He

to give private lessons in history, phil
osophy and mathematics. He also
made attempts In literature. writing
articles for several reviews and for
the minor journals.
His first comedy was produced In
1854 in the Odeon, then the second

plete failure. He then wrote the
comedy, lies Pattes De Mouche, y
which was produced with great sue.
cess in 1860, and subsequently adapted
for the English stage under the title
of "A Scrap of Paper"
At the age of 75 Sardou witnessed
the production OF his latest drama
"L'Affaire Des Poisons" at the Porte
St Martin theatre. This play, which
has to DO with the infamous poisoning
camarllla which existed under the
reign Of Louis XIV and which was pre-
scented for the first time on December
last, is stlll running to crowded
houses.
In the year 1867 M. Sardou was in a
state of abject poverty and extreme
distress. He was living In a garret
and was prostrated by typhoid fever
but neighbor, Mile. De Brecoust

his Illness, from which he slowly re
covered. He married her In the fol

after her. Sardou's earlier pieces
after his first failure, were performed
at this theatre Nine years after his

A TRAlN-STOPPlNe DEVICE.
Novel Invention VIII be Tested on the
Reading Railroad.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Approval has
been given by the block signal and
train control board of the interstate
commerce commission for the pur-
poses of test, OF an automatic train
stopping device to be established on
the Colebrookdale branch OF the Phila-
delphia & Reading railroad near Potts
town, Pa. II is cab signal and auto
matte train stop-designed in such a
fashi3n that IL the engineer of the 10
comotive should fail, for any reason,
to observe danger signal on his
route the train is brought to a stop
automatically
One OF the special features OF the
device-and in this respect It differs
from any other yet submitted to the
boards It's application to trains
driven by means of electricity, in
which case resistance Is switched into
the motor circuit, or. the propulsion
current is shut off in the event of d
train entering an obstructed block
The board desires TO make thorough
test of the device during the severe
weather or the coming winter, as II
expects through this experiment tc
demonstrate the practicability or i'm
practicability of certain shoe-contact
devices which are used in connection
with the apparatus.
Already the board has installed sev
eral train stopping inventions OF
short stretches of railway In various
parts of the country and is trying
them out with a view to determining
their practicability under working
conditions

Rather Neatly Put,

A Baltimore man had until recently
a darby in his employ-about as shift
less and worthless n darby, says he, as
ever he came across. One day the
employer, his patience exhausted,
called Sam into his Office and told him
to look for another job. will you give
me a letter of recommendation? asked
Sam, piteously. Although he felt that
he could not conscientiously comply
with this request, the Baltimore mans
heart was touched by the appeal. So
he sat down to his desk to write a
non-committal letter of character for
the negro. His effort resulted as fol-
lows: This man, Sam Harkins, has
worked for me one week, and l am
satisfied"

CUT OUT FOR A FlNANciER.
Shrewd Rascal Made Good Thing Out
Of WhIstIing Geese.

Two rogues passed a poultry shop.
Seeing two geese hung up for sale one
Of the rogues inserted in the gullet
Of the goose little bulb with whistle
attached When the bulb was pressed
the whistle sounded.
Then, entering the store, he told the
proprietor that he had hanging out
side very rare kind Of whistling
goose. The proprietor at once sold
the goose for big sum to a very
learned professor, who was astonished
to hear about the whistling goose.
Seeking the man who had placed the
whistle in the gullet of the bird, the
proprietor asked him if he knew
where others like 1t could be OBJ
tanned.
We'll" said the crafty fellow, ~
know Of only one place, and If you will
pay me big price l will get several
for you"
So the rogue brought dozen fowls,
in the gullet Of each of which he
thrust a whistle, and was paid an ex-
orbitant price for them before the
hoax was discovered.
