.Z;NIcE'YOUNe MAN, BUT A FOOL.

He Is Utterly Too Good, and nu Wife II
Sick of Her Bargain.

,1 One of the best girls any fellow ever
knew and- the pride of a village not a
thousand miles from Pittsburg made a
fatal mistake when she married. ' Being
such a happy girl, so sensible and so
much sought after by the best young
men in the neighborhood, every one con-
fidently expected her'to make a great
catch. ' But she didn’t, and now her
neighbors are wondering how it all hap-

‘ pened. She married a fool. That ex-

} plains it all. No need to go into details.
The fact that he dressed well and: that
he moved in good society and was known
as a "very nice young man” will not
make the case any plainer. He is a fool.
and that is all there is about it.

His foolishness consisted largely in
believing that the world was not made

. right, that the people- are wrong hearted
as well as wrong headed, and that it is
the duty of every one to array himself
against everything as it exists and keep
up a. constant grumbling, growling and
complaining. This young. man was very
religious in a sense. He honestly and
faithfully endeavored to keep himself
unspotted from the world by avoiding
contact with it. He went not into bad
company, nor did he patronize picnics
and evening parties, but staid at home

‘ reading good books and thinking how he
could spin for himself a cocoon that
would keep the outside world away
from him. He did not realize the fact
that he who has himself for companion
and friend is in very poor company.

» It was this sort of chap that our .model
girl married. She ought to have known
better, but she mistook hisknowledge of
books for an, evidence of brains and of
learning, while the fellow really hadn’t
two ideas of his own about anything.
The inside histdry of this case shows that
she did not love him any better than she
had other men, but he was such a nice
young fellow that she thought there
would be no risk taking him. In fact,
she took him in the hope of escaping the
very misery she is now suflering. He
doesn’t beat her with a club, nor does he
get drunk and smash the furniture, but
he tires her life out by lecturing her,
finding fault continually and never com-
mending, and trying to make her under—
stand that her place is at home and that
her duty is to him. Their home is dreary
and chilly, and their lives about the same.
, They are both satisfied that marriage
is a failure, and they cannot be made to
believe otherwise. It isn’t the man who
has the least book knowledge that is the
biggest fool, nor are those who are short
on general information to be classed
with numskulls. Some of the most do-
lightful people one maymeet, are those
who are blessed with an abundance of=
common sense.
nothing of Darwin nor of Briggs and
not a great deal about electrical science,
and they may even eat with their knives,
pour their coffee into Saucers and blow
the soup to cool it, et with all these
shortcomings and deicts they are the
most delightful people to know. Their
hearts are all right, and they under-

selves and to make others happy.-—-Pitts-

Water Started These Two Fires.
N o principle of natural philosophy is
’ more familiar than the power of water
to extinguish fire. And yet, strange to

7 say, water has been known to cause de- ‘

structive fires, not by an accident, but
by direct chemical action. One case of
the kind was in a large factory. A flood
caused the water to rise to a pile of iron
filingS, which oxidized so rapidly that
they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.

Another case is still more remarkable.
Several engines were throwing water
upon a burning building, and the water
found its way to another building,
which contained - quicklime. The
slaking of the lime. caused of course
by the contact of the water, generated
intense heat, and the heat set fire to the
building. That was a sarcasm of gig-
cumstances, wasn’t it? ‘

Masked Bandits Secure Rich Booty on
a Lake Shore Train.

A COURAGEOUS ENGINEER.

Ho Stuck to His Post, Though Threatened
by Desperate Men—Details of the Train
Robbery as Told by Eyewitness-
os—Dynamito and lVlnchcsters.

CHICAGO, Sept. '13.—-Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern passenger train N o. 14,
east bound, was held up at 3 o’clock this
morning by 20 masked robbers at Kesslcr,
Ind, a small station 150 miles cast of this
city. The engineer was shot and the safe oi

open and robbed, it is said, of $250,000 in
gold, shipped east by a Chicam bank. A
few rods west of Kessler the engineer, J. D.
Knapp, discovered a switch open and put
'on the brakes to save the train from de-
struction.

press car. They had come prepared for
action. _ Theengineer divined the motive,
and grasping his coal pick in his hands
made a desperate resistance. One of the
robbers was struck down and fell off .the

_ engine without a groan. Another came

'over the tender, and leveling his revolver
by the dim light shot the brave engineer in
the chest, seriously wounding him.

The fireman saw a chance to make his
escape, and jumping through the cab win—
dow ran for his life.

Dynamite Used.
. Meantime the sudden stopping aroused
the train crew, and they peered out in the
darkness to be met with a shower of bul-
lets. The robbers Worked quickly. While
some were subduing the engineer and
trainmen, others produced dynamite and
blew open the do or of the express car,
Where they expected to secure the valuable
booty. The doors , were shattered. The
awful blast shook the whole train. ”The

port which reached Chicago at 4 o’clock
this morning says they were soon over-
powered by the robbers.

The safe was next attacked, and it was
but short work for the desperate villains
to blow it open with dynamite and to bag
the contents, and then they hastily made
their escape into the darkness. The pas-
sengers wisely kept themselves out of dan-
ger. When the trainmen became assured
that all danger was passed, they crawled
out and took an inventory of the damage.

A consultation was held, and with the
conductor at the throttle and the wounded

dallville, a distance of only a few miles.
After the engineer had received medical at—
tendance and a posse had been sent in
search of the bandits, orders were sent for
another engineer and fireman.

William Hooley, who was stealing a‘ride
on the front end of the baggage car, and
who saw all without being seen, said he
counted in all 20 masked men, and that
they completely surrounded the train with
drawn revolvers. The United States Ex-
press company oifiaals received their first
news of the robbery from the Lake Shore
officials.

General Manager Wygant at once hur-
ried to the depot and after a hasty con-
sultati'on'w‘ith the railroad men was driven

robbers, and by 5 o’clock a. special train was
being made up. Before it was ready 8.
number of the express company’s best and
oldest detectives, several Pinkerton men
and a squad of city Vidocqs were ready to
proceed on the man hunt. Thirty minutes
later the train pulled out from under the
depot sheds, and with a clear track before
it started for the scene of the boldest rob-
bery of this age.

The Bear Brakeman’s Story.

TOLEDO, Sept. 13. — Engineer James
Knapp, who was shot by the train robbers,
was taken to his residence on Collingwood
avenue in this city upon the arrival of the
train. It was found that the bullet pene-
trated his right side near the shoulder. He
had a very close call, but will be all right
in a few days. '

The conductor and most of the crew live
in Toledo and left the train here. Asa Mc-
Intire, the rear brakeman, said: “The gang
numbered about 12 men. I am sure there
were not more than that number, although
the constant fusilade they kept up with
their winchesters would have led one to be—
lieve that there were a great many more.
They had turned the switch, showing the
danger signal, and Engineer Knapp of
course came to a stop on seeing the red
light exposed.

“The switch was turned just before the
train was due there, so that any of the em-
ployees of the road at that station who
might have been about would not have
noticed anything strange. Two men
boarded the engine and ordered Engineer
Knapp and Fireman James Butler to hold
up their hands. The engineer disobeyed
the order and reached for the whistle rope
to warn the rest of the train, but the
movement was a signal for the desperado
to shoot. The rest of the gang stationed
~themselves along the train. and kept up a

not rush out and overpower them. As

train a shot whizzed by as a warning to

but I was driven back into the train by
shots. ”I finally put my light under my
coat and sneaked away and walked to the
station, where I telegraphed the train fol-
lowing to stop and inform the officials by
wire.” ,
The railroad and express officials here
'say that last night was a light one on the
express car. Several nights ago $5,000,000
were sent through, and it is thought that

The New York Herald Alleges That
They Have Drifted Apart.

GILROY AS A EAGEMAKER.

[he Eloquent Congressman and the Mayor,
of New York City Have a Conference
Which Is Claimed to Have Been
In the Interest of a Truce.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Nothing in the
newspapers in a long time has caused so
much comment as the following, published
in The Herald today:

Representative W'. Bourke Cockran
came to the city yesterday. He said he had
oeen suffering from malaria for the last
three weeks and hoped to regain his health
at his country place at Sands Point, N. Y.

He called on Mayor Gilroy in the after-
noon, and the fact was commented upon.
Postmaster Dayton happened to be in con-
versation with the mayor at the time, and
Mr. Cockran was invited to sit down.

Shortly after Mr. Dayton withdrew
Mayor Gilroy disposed of some other call-
ers and then led the way for -Mr. Cockran
into the private office. The gentlemen were
together for at least a half hour. \Vhile
they were engaged Representative John R.
Fellows arrived. His name was taken in
to Mayor Gilroy, and word came out—not
for Colonel Fellowe to “come right in,” but
to call again a half hour later.

When the gentlemen were through, May-.
or Gilroy said they were discussing “per-
sonal matters” only.

Politicians were much interested in Mr.
Cochran’s call. While everybody regretted
Mr. Cockran’s’ malaria, there were some

York had been induced by political reasons
rather than by ill health.
‘ Drifting Apart.

The differences between Mr. Croker and
Mr. Cockran, which have been implied
rather than indicated ,by any statement
from either, are admitted. The two men
have been drifting apart for the last six
months, just like ex-Mayor Grant and Mr.
Croker drifted apart. The attitude of Tam-

perhaps the most significant outward evi-
dence of displeasure that has yet been
shown. The unconcealed rancor,of certain
New York congressmen toward Mr. Cock-
ran has also been conspicuous. ,

Tammany men do not agree as to why
Mr. Cockran is looked upon with suspi-
cion. Some intelligent members of the or-
ganization say it is because Mr. Cookran
associates with ex-Speeker Reed. Others
hint at a‘ too great admiration of Cleveland
felt by Mr. Cockran, while still others sum
up the complaint by the statement, “He
makes a men feel small.”

I have asked Mr. Cockran a half dozen
times what the trouble was. He invaria-
bly looked blank and. then cheerfully re-
plied, “I know of nothing.”

Despite this assertion, politicians know
there has been trouble and there, is trouble,
The question now asked is, ~‘-‘-Are they try.
ing to fix it up with Cochran?!"- - __

“They” is a polite Tammany way ,of in-
dicating Mr. Croker. The impression is
that “they” are. “ . '

Mr. Cochran’s friends argue that his as"-

many in the Opinion of those who believe it

was a political organization, solely insti-

tuted throughrapacious motives. ’ —
Cannot Spare Cookran.

The accepted explanation of Mr. Cock-
ran’s visit is that the logical minds of Tam-
many realized that his loss would prove a
serious blow to the organization, and that
instead of twin g “told Off for execution,” as
are most, of those who oficnd Mr. Croker,
he is being approached with the flag of
truce. . ‘. 5 ‘2.

Who in Tammany but Mayor Gilroy
would have the diplomacy and tact to‘con-
duct such negotiations?
will not be to Mr. Cockran’s disadvantage
no one who knows him doubts.

The difierence between the case of ex!
Mayor Grant and that of Mr. Cockran is
this: Grant was successful; but, in the
opinion of the other leaders, was growing
too independent. He Was dropped with a
thud, although his personal popularity in
New York city forbade his absolute polit-
ical decapitation. The disposition has been
just as strong to drop Mr. Cockran, but
that person’s lofty indifference 'on the sub-
ject and the necessity the organization
found for him brought the tiger from a
rampant mood to one of sullen‘peace,

I asked Mr. Cockran yesterday about the
situation in Washington.

“Repeal is assured, in my opinion,” said
he. “When the question comes to a vote
in the senate, there will bea good majority
for repeal. It is impossible to say just
whenthe vote will be taken, owing to the
dilatory tactics employed by the silver sen-
ators. The probability is it will bereached
within ten days or two weeks. The house
in the meantime is doing nothing.”

The Case of Father Dent.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 13.—Justice Cullen of
the supreme court, speaking from, the
bench today on the suit of Rev, Francis
Dent against the Order of St. Francis, said
that unless the defendants pay the 6250
costs for the privilege of withdrawing a
juror in the trial of the case in two days
he ‘would grant Mr. ‘Dent’s motion to be
relieved from filing a copy of a document
which says his expulsion from the order
was illegal.

An Ear-Naval Cadet's Suicide.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Steele Kellogg,
aged 21 years, only son 'of Colonel Sanford
Kellogg, U. S. A., shot himself through
the body at the family residence in this
city yesterday afternoon, dyingfrom the

thought to have been grief. over his failure
to pass his first year’s examination at the
naval academy, to which he was appointed
by President Harrison as a cadet atlarge,

Locusts Devonrlng Locusts.

In the summer of 1883, in which the
excessive heat and drou ht had brought ~'
about the nearly entire
vegetation in a good part of the country
and more ‘
country of anda Oriental, I had occur,
sion to make a journey from San Jose to
Mercedes. At one place, Las Piedras,
at which the diligence stopped, I noticed

ezotettix vittiger, Pezotettix maculi-~
pennis and Pezotettix arrogans, which
covered the ground and rocks. , _

My attention was attracted by‘ the
fact of seeing around one locust a num-
ber of other individuals Of the same spe-
cies, which were eating "its soft parts
even while it was yet alive and protest—
ingvigorously. I saw difierent attacks,
in which the conquerors, two or three at
a time, got hold of the weaker members
of their own kind, throwing them over
and openingthe abdomen in‘ order to
devour the entrails, these. being the soft-
er and more savOry portions, since they
still contained some of the vegetable
food. Cannibalism here appeared in its
lowest development, and the numerous
remains of those which had been eaten

process hcd been carried»

In the face of facts of this character,
it seems certain that nothing is sacred
in nature when the prolongation of life,
for the sake of the preservation of the
species, is concerned—Carl Berg in Nat-

The Power of the Tongue.

.,, Go with me to the halls of Yale and
listen to Chauncey M. Depew speak with
clean cut phrases of wisdom, salted with
sentences. of wit. Comeback to the city
and find him delivering an oration on
the Centennial in the presenceof a vast
multitude: ofwitncsses, tone and style
and manner and figures totally difierent.
See him at the dinner of the New York
Press club, where 800 bright witted,
clever headed, nimble fingered, honest
hearted men applaud-z to-the echo his per-
' tinent, his suggestive, his eloquent sen
,tenccs. Jump thence to the superb
Auditorium in Chicago-imbue 15,000

" yellers andshouters and teeters surround

the 400 or 500 delegates assembled there
tonominate a presidential candidate.

See how they listen. Watchfasjthey

Effect of the Earth’s Motion Janis Shot.
That the earth’s motion hasjap ,appre-
ciable effect upon artillery fire, deflect-
ing the projectile from a straight course,
may be news to many and as such=w6uld
probably seem a novel notion. ' It has.

paper read before. the Royal Artillery
institution. Firing from north to south
there is a divergence of projectiles to the
left, due to the earth’s rotation. and fir-
ing due north the divergence is to the '
right. The extent of the “pull” varies
at diiferent points of the earth’s surface
and with projectiles fired at different
speeds and elevations. In England a de-
flection of five inches is found to occur
with the projectile of a 12 pounder in a
4,000 yard range—New York Sun.

 

Satisfying Vanity.

“It's lovely to have a small bit of van-
ity,” said a little woman, tying her bon-
net strings before the glass. '

“That’s a very unorthodox sentiment.
.my dear,” laughed the locker on.

“Do you think so? 1am not so sure
of that,” meditated the little woman, be-
ginning to put on her gloves. “1 should »
not be able to face the people I have to
see today nor accomplish the mission I
have in hand if I was not sure that my
hat is becoming, mygown well fitting
and the other details of my dress irre- '
proachable. I know I‘ dolook well, and,

”V-therefore people like to see me. So I

can please them and get what I want. -
Candidly, is that vanity? There may be
some other name for it.”-eExchange.
