Quilp's House Gone

Another Dickens landmark has dis
appeared from London, the house OF
Daniel Quilp-who is by no means
the least interesting character In
"Old Curiosity shop" This house, a
narrow building OF three stories and
a basement stood at . Tower Hill,
and was probably more than 200 years
old The proprietress believes she
possesses the original cupboard
wherein this Manufactured satanic
dwarf stored his Jamaica rum; and
also some other fine pieces OF old
furniture. for she doubtless believes
that Quilp was not altogether a crea.
ture OF fiction. II was TO this house
that Quilp returned after it was sup
posed. because OF an unusual alb
sence, that he was dead. He slipped
behind a bedroom door and listened
10 the conversation that ensued among
his wife, his mother-in-law, Mrs. JIM
win. and Sampson Brass, the lawyer.
This is perhaps the most grotesquely
humorous incident In all OF Dickens's
novels. Brass is writing, aided by
the suggestions OF the women, an ad-
vertisement OF the missing Quilp
This is an occupation said the
lawyer, laying down his pen and emp
tying his glass, which seems TO bring
him before my eyes like the ghost OF

he wore on work-a-days. His coat,
his waistcoat, his shoes and stockings,

Mrs. Jiniwin, impatiently.

Brass Our faculties must not freeze
with grief I'll trouble you for a
little more of that, maam. A ques-
ton now arises with relation TO his
nose"

"AQuiline!" cried Quilp, thrusting
In his head and striking the feature
with his fst "Aquiline, you bag!
Do you see it, Do you call this nat?
Do you, eh2''
"oh, capital, capital" shouted
Brass, from the mere force OF habit.

MIKE DOOLAN, PFIILLY NATIONAL STAR SAYS
HE HAS SIGNED WITH BALTIMORE FEDS
League pennant

pending National League pennant
race. r.. E
He is the fourth star definitely
landed by the third circuit from the
Philly camp, and there is still a
chance that Killifer will be forced to
live up to the terms of the contract
he signed with Charley Weeghman
and Joe Tinker.
No longer will Philly fans see the
crack defensive work of Otto Knabe
and Doolan around second base. Both
are with the Baltimore Feds, Knabe
as manager.
With the herculean task of rebuild
ing his infield ahead, Red Doom will
be lucky to finish in the first division
of the league this season.

of the Philadelphia Nationals, star de-
fensive. shortstop of the National
League, today announced he had
signed with the Baltimore Federal
League team.
This was in direct contradiction to
earlier reports that Doolan had
agreed to remain in the Quaker camp.
81 have signed with the Baltimore
Federals," said Doolan positively to
/ tnewspapermen. There is not the
slightest chance OF me backing out.
Mike refused to give the terms of
his new contract, but it is understood
to cover a period of three years.
President Gilmore of the Feds car
ried the war into the enemy's camp
this afternoon by moving his head
quarters from the Hotel Knickerbock-
er to the Waldorf f-Astoria, where the
organized baseball magnates have
their stronghold.
Signing Doolan gave Gilmore con-
fidence, and he started a vigorous
campaign to land Egan of Brooklyn
and Magee and Wingo of the Card
inals. He was well stocked with am
munition in the shape of regular
money.
President Tener and Charles P.
Taft did an "Alphonse and CASTOR"
regarding the sale of the Chicago
Cubs. Tener refeused to discuss the
matter, saying it was up to Taft, and
the latter likewise refused to talk, |
saying the statement should come |
from Tener.
Baseball men crowding the Wal |
dorf were astounded at the news that |
Doolan had hoped to the Federals. |
This morning President Baker of the |
Phillies gave out positive statement |
that the star shortielder would wear |
a Quaker uniform in the coming cam
paign, and the matter was believed |
settled. '

FIND HER-SOMETHIN' DOM
Indianapolis, Ind, March 1.-Two
married men have asked the police
here to find their wife" Neither
man knows that the other has asked
police aid. By comparing photo
graphs the police decided today that
both men are looking for the same
woman. She is Mrs. Annie Conroy
or Mrs. Annie Lawson.
T. w. Conroy, who said he was
married in a justice of the peace's Of
flee in Muncie, Ind, asked the police
six weeks ago to find her Urban R.
Lawson of this city asked them today
to find her. Conroy, who is travel
ing clairvoyant, said that Mrs. Con-
roy left him because she did not like
to travel, saying that she would go
to her home in a Terre Haute suburb.
The police theory is that Annie
married both men and that she is now
seeking further adventure.

Burlington from the mouth of the

Meadows down the Little Salmon river
to the junction of the Big and Little
Salmon rivers at Higgins, distance
of AZ miles. The PIN" road will be
extended from it's southern terminus
at Weiser to Boise, where it will be
connected with the Western Pacific,
which is to be built to Boise from
Winnemucca, New.
The foregoing is the status of the
railroad situation in Idaho, according
to information obtained from an unus-
ually authentic source.
There is now enough heavy steel
rail for main line construction, piled
up in the yards of the Gilmore &
Pittsburg at Salmon City, to extend
the railroad all the way down the Big
Salmon river.
There no longer is any doubt among
those in position to know that the
P. & /. N. in reality is a Hill property
and will be taken over by Hill when
the latter is ready to make public his
great plan of connecting up with the
PIN" road and extending it to the
Pacific coast.
Among higher railroad circles the
belief is held that the Northwestern

where it will be connected with the
Hill road, over which Northwestern
| trains will be operated to Pacific
coast points. This. it is understood
would give the Northwestern the
shortest transcontinental line from
Chicago to the Pacific coast, by about
300 miles.
1t is further understood that the
Hill system, the Northwestern and the
Western Pacific are very friendly and
work together tremendously.
1t is now believed there will be
much railroad activity in the west
