Wanted to Make a Bargain Counter Trade for Stamps, but Failed. lowing lines occurred several days ago in the small and insignificant looking structure on F street, which the United States Government uses as a branch post office. ’ ‘ She was an extremely pretty girl with the brightest eyes, the pinkest checks, the reddest lips, the cutest nose and the sunshinest face that had been seen in that locality for years. So pretty she was that the suscepti- ble clerk at the stamp window gulped as if he had swallowed something when she came trippingly up to the window and spoke to him. “Have you postage stamps?” she ask— ed as innocently as if Government post offices usually dealt in haystacks an grindstones. . . But the clerk never noticed that. He didn’t notice anything but the sparkling vision before him with three unstamped letters in her hand. “Yes, miss,” he responded, making a. herculean effort to suppress his emo- tion. ' “Can I get three for a nickel?" Now this clerk loved his little joke, and a man who will joke on a sacred subject is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils. ' tenderly, too. “Oh, how nice,” she twitted. Mamma said they never sold them any less, no matter how ‘many we wanted. But I said I was sure they would, and now won’t mamma be surprised when I tell her that I received three for a nic- kel?” The coy, arch smile she sent flutter- ing through the window at the clerk was something to be treasured in the heart of any man to his dying day. “I am sure she will,” he murmured, smiling back at her as best he could un- der the circumstances. “Well, give me three, please,” and she laid a nickel on the window before him. He did not dare look at her, but kept his eyes on the drawer where the stamps are confined. As he picked out two twos and a one and laid them beside that soft little hand waiting for them there came into her beautiful eyes such a look of tender reproach that he went right over to the registry desk and registered a solemn vow that never, no, never again would he permit his sence of duty to dull the finer faculties of his feeling—Washing ton Star. JAMES G. BLAINE’S GRAVE. His Body to be Removed to His Favorite Resort Near Augusta. When James G. Blaine was alive and in Augusta, Me., his favorite re- sort of an afternoon was the top of Winthrop Hill, which commands an Valley for miles. His' favorite spot on the hilltop was near the site of an old house and beneath the shade of some thick-trunked trees. From‘this hill the tips of the Camden Hill's loom in the southeast, Mount Blue and the Farmington Hills in the northwest, while far on the southwest- ern horizon the snow cap of Mount Washington may be discerned on a clear day. Mr. Blaine used to take his friends to this height that they might enjoy with him the scene and sunsets, and he often said it was the most de- lightful place he ever visited. On account of his love for the spot Mrs. Blaine decided recently to buy it and have the remains of the great’ statesman taken from Washington and buried there. The place is known as the old Milliken farm, and was owned by W. H. Gannett, who intended to build a fine residence there. It con- tains about three acres of land. and ,,~is situated on the east side of the road, connecting Western avenue with Green street. As soon as Mr. Gannett learned for what purpose Mrs. Blaine desired the property, he relinquished it at once. Mrs. Blaine in tends making Augusta her permanent home, and as scenes the place on the hill is ready the re- mains of James G. Blaine and Walker, her son, will be brought here for burial. ' ‘ . ALL‘ DUE TO THE BICYCLE. Queer Effects of the Craze, Upon Various Lines of Business in New England. Business men in New England in all lines complain of the-ginjury that is done them by the bicycle. Thousands ,of wheels are sold every spring on the installment plan, and the surplus earn- ings of the season are exhausted in meeting the monthly payments. As a consequence money that should go to the butcher, the grocer, the clothier, goes to the agent. . “Why don’t you buy'a wheel?” asked one business man of another, as they stood on the sidewalk and watched the scorchers go whizzing by. , “I own forty or fifty now,” was the response. . ~ 1 “Howie that?” came the question. “Well, guess there must be forty or lfifty men in this town riding wheels who are taking the money they owe me to pay for them.” There are certain towns in New Eng- land, which from the peculiar nature of their industries, are feeling the bi- cycle craze severely. The watch and jewelry making towns are hard hit. There was a time, not so long ago, when the ,ambition of every young man was to own a gold watch, and he a wanted a chain a yard long to go with it. Now he carries a Waterbury and ties it to his buttonhole with a shoe- string. His surplus earnings go into a wheel. v Worth Trying, Howeverfi, Wazzey—You gave me your word that you would pay me the money you owe me and now you refuse to keep it. Wurrey~Well, I’m, not to blame.

A bicycle railway over which ybu can ridetwo hundred miles an hourl This is what 001. George F. Brott, of Washington, claims can be accomplish- ed by his invention. He is very posi- tive about it. The belief is roseate, but practicality has not been shown. Col. Brott says not only will his bi- cycle railway be built, but in a compar. atively short time it will extend all over the country. Within two months he says, he will have his structure erected and cars will be running there- on by Fall. When this road operates from ocean to ocean, its inventor assures us, we can breakfast in New York, lunch in Chicago, and the following mOrning take our morning ‘cup—of coffee—where the Golden Gate charms and the or. ange blossoms grow. This very rapid transit will impart no disagreeable sen- sation to the traveler. In fact, if he will avoid looking out of the windows, he may not know that he is moving at all. The structure for the cars will be slightly elevated, and will contain but a single rail, for each car has practicaia ly only one wheel, the other two wheels which run in grooves on the guard rail being only intended for safeguards. 0n eaCh side of the main wheel, and considerably higher, will be the guard rails, so strong, that even the impact of a moving train will hardly shake them. All the rails are to be of steel. The power, of course, is electricity. The propelling fluid ‘ will be furnished by a motor in each car. There can be no possible danger of a collision, for the inventor says he has gained so great a command over electricity. that on the opproach of a current of electricity for- eign to the one generated on the train the cars will come to as sudden a stop as if. air-brakes had been applied to them. The cars which are intended to travel over this remarkable road are peculiar in shape. The‘front one will be pointed something after the fashion of the ~ whaleback—that queer craft that jour- tneys about the great lakes. This is be- cause it is believed that with such a car in the front the resistance to the atmos- phere will be less. . The cars will accommodate from 40 to 80 passengers each, and their bag- gago will be stored in the truck' be: neath. No freight whatever will be carried, ‘ LILLIAN RUSSELL AND ‘THE STAGE. The Famous Star Talks of Retiring to Private Life. One of the reporters of the New York Journal gives the following story of Lillian Russell: I called on Miss Russell at her home in West 77th street last, week, but she would not talk. Her managers claim they have lost a fortune upon her this past season and that it is her fault. I stated these facts to her and asked her opinion. The big blue eyes looked meltingly sorry, but that was all.. “They had been kind,” she said sim- ply, settling down in the folds ofalight blue tea gown, and then she added earn- estly: “I have been far from well this season. I have worked hard and I have suffered intensely from a fall from my bicycle. And everything hurts the voice; an ache or a pain anywhere ef- fects it. But I don’t want to talk; I don’t want to be written about. I am going to end it all right here and slip quietly away’into the country, where I shall spend this year and will probably live.” “Do you think you will enjoy an or- dinary existence after the brilliant stage life you have led?” “Need home life be dull?” she an- swered smiling. I scarcely thought as I looked at her that her’s need be. Then a burst of laughter and the clinking ol glasses sounded through the portieres from ithe dining room. Miss Russell lifted her brows and laughed. ‘ It was IO apropos. “You have not given up singing en- tirely, have you?” I asked. Miss Russell coughed in a burst that sounded like bells. “No, not I,” “I sing all day, it is a part of me—the greater part. When I’m happy I singuwhich is most of the time; when I’m unhappy ising, too. It is a very excellent rem- sdy. “I think I can be perfectly contented off the stage,” said Miss Russell, “for l have a very pretty home and derive a great deal of comfort from it.” And it is a pretty home and tastefully out of it. More Dangerous Now. “What are you reading, Richard,” asked Mrs. Meekton. _ “I happened to .‘see something "about Ajax.” ' ~ ‘ “The gentleman who defied the light- ning?” ‘ ' “Yes, 1,8upposog it was safe enough in those days; :But, if Ajax had to ride on a trolley car and pay the bills of the man who fixes the'fan and the light- ning apparatus, I’m willing to wager a good deal that he would have been more careful about how he got so familiar with electricity.”—-Washington Star. A Blessing in Disguise. “I know,” Mr. Meekton remarked to an intimate friend, “that some people say Mrs. Meekton wears the —er—er the pantaloons, you ,know, but it isn’t true.” “I’m glad to hear it.” “Do you know,” Mr. Mockton went on, with a far-away look in his eyes, “I kind of wish she would wear ’em once in a while!

Five Persons Killed and About Fifty In- jured 1n the Accident. DANVILLE, Pa., Oct. 10.—The number of persons killed in the boiler explosion at the Montour rolling department of the Reading Iron company is greater than at first reported. It was thought that John Casselman, who was buried beneath the debris, and a child of John Lumguski were the only victims, but Thomas Crom- woll, Oliver Cromwell and John Mullen, Sr., who wore buried beneath the wreck- age, died soon after they Were removed to their homes. The accident'was the-worst that has occurred in this vicinityvfor 50 years. '- » - Mrs. John Lumguski was sitting in her home, 300 feet from the mill, with her 14-montbs-old babe in her arms. ,A large section of the boiler came crashing through ;, --WOu the window, and, striking the child, tore the little one from its mother's arms, kill- ing it instantly. The woman was unin- jured. The home of John Burns, located more than 100 yards~ from the mill, was almost completely wrecked by a large piece of the boiler passing through 1.16 side of the house. All of the inmates of the house escaped injury. Three other persons Who were at work in the mill at the time of the explosion are probably fatally injured. They are Robert Reid, Rush Ycrrick and Clinton Major. All of these men are terribly scolded by escaping steam, and Major is badly out about the head, while Reid and Yerrisk are bruised from being hit by flyJ ing timbers. Innll, about 50» persons were more or less seriously hurt, but they were able to go to their homes, where they or being cared for by physicians. . ’ The cause of the explosion is not known, but it is supposed to have been due tolow Water in the boiler. The dead, with the exception of the child, were all employed at the mill. THE CAPE ANN BANK. No Run by Depositors at Gloucester, Mass.—The March Defalcation. GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. 10.—The Cape Ann Savings bank, whose treasurer, George J. Marsh, committed suicide yes- terday, leaving, it is alleged, a shortage of $100, 000 in trust funds which were, un- der his charge, opened its doors for busi- ness today. There was nothing like a run on the bank by depositors. A’number of persons who had deposits in the bank ap- peared soon after the doors were opened and asked to withdraw their deposits. The requests were granted in all cases ,where the accounts were less than $50. Upon all deposits above this amount the bank officials will exact the legal 60 days’ notice. The general opinion of business men here is that the bank will be able to con- tinue without difficulty, as it was one of the strongest savings institutions in the state. An examination of trust funds and securities held by the bank is being made at Boston. The securities are deposited there with the Union Safe Deposit com- pany, and the bank commissioners deter- mined to go to the vaults and look them over carefully. The exact condition of the bank cannot be announced until after this work is completed. ‘ To Lay a New Cable. MONTREAL, Oct. 10.—-The French Cable company’s steamers Seine and Francois Arage are at Halifax preparing to begin the laying of a direct cable from New Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guiana. This will be an extension of the French Atlantic cable and will give France what she does not now possess, the control of her own system of communica- tion with all her American dependencies. Manager of a. Gold Mine Shot. SAN DIEGO, 0111., Oct. 10. —-Antonio Torres, 8 son “of Governor Luis E.
