Beyond the Reach of Law

From Lippincotts.
 One of the officials of our embassy at London tells of an incident that occurred in a train passing through the north of Scotland. There was another passenger in the compartment at the time the American entered.
 At the next station three Scots came in. They were all big. burly men and completely filled up the seat on the side of the compartment where the first men, tioned passenger was seated. At the next station the carriage door opened to admit tall, cadaverous individual. whose girth was about that of a lamp post.
 He tried to wedge himself in between two of the passengers already there and said to one of them:
 Here, you must move up bit. Each seat is intended to accommodate five per sons, and according to act of parliament you are entitled only to IS inches for space"
 Aye, aye, my friend" replied one of the Scots, that's a very guid for you that's been built that way; but ye canna blame me if hal na' been construckit according to. act of parliament

REPORTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

The Associated Press account of the
Samoan disaster of 1889 was a master
piece of descriptive reporting. Mr.. John
P. Dunning, of the San Francisco bureau,
happened to be in Apia when the great
storm broke over the island, and for
warded graphic account, which was
published all over the world, telling a
dramatic story of one of the most tragic
occurrences in the history of the world.
In the roadstead were anchored three
American war-vessels, the Trenton, Nip
sic, and Vandalia; three German war
shi ps, the AdleIe Olga, and Elber; and
the British cruiser Calliope. All of the
American and German ships were driven
upon the coral reefs and destroyed, in
volving the loss of one hundred and fifty
lives. The Calliope. a more modern YES
sci, with superior engines, was able to
escape. AS she pushed her way into the
heavy sea the tackles of the Trenton
dressed ship. while her band played the
British National Anthem! Could any
thing have been more tragic, yet noble,
from those about to die? And had it not
been for Mr.. Dunning's story for the
Associated Press the world might never
have known of this wonderful episode.
