At the Door.

‘ (Eugene Field.)
I thought myself indeed secure.
80 fast the door, so firm the lock; ‘
But, lo! he toddling comes to lure
My parent ear with timorous knock.
My heart were stone could it withstand _,
The sweetness of my baby’s plea—
That timorous, baby knocking and
“Please let me in—it’s only me.”
I threw aside the unfinished book.
Regardless of its tempting charms.
And, opening wide the door, I took
My laughing darling in my arms.
Who knows but in Eternity.
I, like a truant child, shall wait
The glories of a life to be,
Beyond the Heavenly Father’s gate?
And will that Heavenly Father heed
The truant’s supplicating cry,
As at the outer door I plead.
“’Tis I, O_Fatherl only I”?

The Difference.

A certain man lagged home four
turkeys Wednesday night which the
shakers had assisted him in getting at
an outlay of fifty cents. But there
were others who negotiated with the
same shakers and went home empty
handed. Their luck deserted them at a
critical point in the proceedings. They
were not very loud in their thanks yes-
terday. '

Are Law Breakers.

During a recent official visit to Custer
Post, G. A. R.. of Sandy Hook, assist-
ant inspector George W. Raymond of
this city was informed that of twenty-
three school districts in that section
not one of them had complied with the
law in reference to floating the stars
and stripes on the school grounds. He
will advise the State authorities of the
fact, and the omissions will probably
be investigated, and “old glory” order-
.ed thrown to the breeze in each district.

 

 

. Literary Notes.

Among other interesting Lincoln
material, the December McClure’s con-
tains a hitherto unpublished account of
how Lincoln, at the risk of his life
saved three men from drowning during
a Spring freshet. This happened when
he was a, young man Of twenty-two,
and was at Sangamon, building the
fiatboat for his trip to New Orleans.

W. D. Howells has written a striking
paper for the December Forum on
“The Nature of Liberty,” contending
that liberty and poverty are incompa-
tible. .

Two very important facts in connec-
tion with the new era of magazines are
illustrated in the December Cosmopoli-
tan. Its fiction is by Stevenson, the
last story written before his death,
”Ouida,” Sarah Grand, Zangwill, and
the beginning of Jane Lane Allen’s
new Kentucky realistic story, “Butte-
flies.”

Victim of Two Accidents.
Sidney Smith, a gardener, who lives
. on Harbor avenue, was the victim of
two accidents this week. He is em-
ployed at the Langdon residence, going
"to and from his work on a bicycle.

Wednesday he was coming down a
flight of stairs with a paper of large
tacks in his hand when he slipped and
fell to the bottom. He feels positive
that every tack stuck somewhere about
his body as he bumped from one stair to
another. He picked four or five tacks out
of his neck, several out of his back, and
a number from his arms and legs. His
neck and one arm have been quite 'sore
since the accident.

About 11 o’clock, Thursday morning,
as he was riding up East avenue on his
bicycle. he Was struck by a Tramway
car and thrown headlong into the gut-
ter. He escaped With a few slight
bruises, but his bicycle was wrecked.
Smith is‘quite deaf and did not hear the
gong as the car approached him, but
realized the fact that a car had struck
him when he landed in the gutter.

Everybody Talking About lt.

Everybody is talking about the great
free offer of Dr. Greene’s, the most suc-
cessful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and who discovered
that wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He
makes a specialty of treating patients
through letter correspondence, and all
who accept his offer are astonished at.
the marvelous success of this method.
His office is at 35 West 14th street New
York City, where he receives and care-
fully examines every letter sent to him
by persons describing their cases and
telling him their symptoms. After
thoroughly studying each case he
answers the letter, explaining the cause
of each symptom and telling a sure way
to get well and strong. He makes the
patients undeastand exactly what‘ ails
them and tells them all about their com-

 

 

pl» int, and all this is entirely .free of '

charge. They save the expense of la

have the benefit of the best medical ad-

As the Plymouth avenue Italian i
baker was driving down West avenue,
just before noon, to-day, accompanied
by a woman, in hisbakery wagon, the
horse became frightened and ran away,
overturning the wagon and throwing
the occupants out, near the Millard

Both the man and woman wereq
hurled with great violence up against
the curb and rendered unconscious.
Dr. Coburn was summoned and did
what he could for the victims, and then
sent for the ambulance.

On the arrival of the ambulance the
man and Woman had somewhat revived
and were taken to their home on Ply-
mouth avenue. They both sustained
serious injuries, those of the woman be-
ing thought the greatest.

The horse was stopped by Motorman
Matheis, who jumped from his car and
grabbed the horse by one of the reins.

The wagon was wrecked and the ave-

Cococnuts In Florida.

Quite a number of tropical nuts have
recently been introduced into cultiva-
tion in this country. Already on the
east coast of Florida are growing 250,000
coooanut trees, 42,000 being in one
plantation. It is believed that the first
trees of this kind in that state sprouted
from nuts brought from Central Ameri-
ca and , the West Indies by the gulf
stream. At Key West and about some
of the old forts cocoanuts were planted
at an early day, as certain ancient trees
now standing bear witness. In 1877 a
bark freighte with cocoanntl was
caught in a sto m 011’ the coast of Flori-
da and beached near Lake 'Worth. Sev-
eral thousands .of the‘ nuts were saved
and planted, the satisfactory growth of
the seedlings giving an impetus to cul-

MAD PLUNGB TO DEATH.

 

A \Voman, Made Insane by Illness, Jumps
Out of a. Third Story/iVinrlow.

NEW YORK, Nov. sit—Rose Weinstock,
48 years old, of 17.7 Liidlow street, insane
from the effects of six months of sickness,
arose early today, leaving her husband
asleep, passed through a. bedroom 'in
which two of her‘ children were sleeping,
then into a front room where two more of
her children slept, opened almost noise-
lessly a window and jumped into the
street. '

She fell three stories and struck head-
f'oremost. Her skull was crushed, and
she died instantly.

She lay there for perhaps ten minutes
before she was seen by Policemen McGib-
ben and Dooley of the Eldridge Street sta-
tion. ‘

So far had the woman leaped that her,
body lay in front of the next house, 175,
and the. policeman did not know where
she belonged. They aroused some of the
inmates of 175, but none of the people
could identify the body.

Seeing the open window, Dooley inquir-
ed ln 177 and visited the Weinstock rooms
on the third floor. One of the children,
who opened the door, said that no one was
missing from that place.

Dooley went into the husband’s room
and asked him if he had a wife. Wein-
stock felt of the bed alongside him and
discovered that his wife was gone. He
said that Mrs. Weinstock had complained
half an hour before of pains in her heart.

He and his children descended to the
sidewall: and recognized Mrs. Weinstock.
The body was then taken to their room.

Weinstock explained that; his Wife began
to complain of pains in her head six
months ugo. After three rhinitis she was
taken to a hospital, where the physicians
said her case Was an incurable form of in-
sanity. '

The disease was not wholly developed,
and she was allowed to be taken home.
She had not at any I’ :ne displayed excita-
ble symptoms of intacy until today.

Hirsch Weir: itO'JiI, the husband, is a
tailor and has seven children. They have
lived at their present residence only five
months.

How the Late Milwaukee Operator Made
. ‘ and Lost Fortunes. ., ,
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 29.-—A well known
Chicago board of trade man says that the
suicide of. Peter McGeoch, the capitalist
and speculator, has prevented a suit for
divorce, for Mrs. McGeoch's intention to
sue for a bill was announced a few days'
ago. It is announced by some of his inti-
mate friends that Mr. McGeoch commit-
ted suicide for the purpose of avoiding
the publicity of a divorce suit. It is as ou-
rious coincidence that his old partner in
the pork packing business, Nelson Vau-
kirk, also committed suicide two years
ago. -

Peter McGeoch was 62 years of age and
was a native of Scotland. He came to
Wisconsin in 1853. In the 33 years that
intervened between that time and 1886,
when he retired from business after a
slight paralytic stroke, he was known as
one of the most daring speculators and
manipulators of marks: that Were ever
known in the west. _

His last corner, the lard deal that failed
in 1883, gave him a national reputation.
He began his career as a wheat operator
in 1856 and soon formed a partnership
withNelson Vankirk, then the largest
wheat shipper in the northwest. '

Some years later they went into the
pork packing business in Milwaukee.

He became the biggest operator in Mil-
waukee at a time when Milwaukee was
the largest Wheat market in the west. In
1875 he tried to run a Wheat corner in the
face of a big crop and was ruined.

In 1878 he engineered another wheat
deal, this time successfullyyand paid his
old debts and pocketed $250,000. He was

associated at that time with the late John

Plankinton.

i
In 1880 McGeoch engineered a success- ‘

ful lard deal, which made him a million-
aire. He and his clique carried through
a: wheat deal in 1882 which netted Mc-
Geoch $500,000. . _

The lard deal of 1883 broke McGeoch
again, and he owed $4, 500,000 when he
was forced to the wall. He settled with
his creditors at 50 cents on the dollar.

At that time McGeoch retired and sub-
sequently sold his street railway at a price
that cleared him $1,000, 000. Since then
he has lived quietly, serving as patbmas-
tor for amusement, but with great benefit
to the roads near by.

He was a member of St. Andrew’s soci-
ety, a. Scotch organization, and was gen-
erally respected.

Several years ago McGeoch visited Hol-
land and consulted a celebrated physician,
who informed him that his disease was
diabetes. On his return to Milwaukee
he was overwhelmed with apprehensions,
and two years ago he informed Dr. Bur-
gess that he intended to commit suicide.

The doctor dissuaded him from his pur-
pose, cnd Mr. McGeoch finally promised
not to kill himself. Four weeks ago his
condition became such that he feared that
he was lasing his mind. .

Dr. Burgess expressed the opinion that
McGeoch was temporarily insane at the
time he fired the shot that killed him.

Mr. McGeoch was a. man of strong will,
and his married life had not been happy.
He was a widowm' eight years ago when
he married 'Mrs. Catherine Libbey, a
widow.
