During the past few years wo have known of people In surrounding towns assembling wherever a night-blooming cereus was about to unfold its petals and in a few hours develop itself into a massive bell shaped flow er, most glorious to behold. In a very short space of time the beauty and fragrance of the flower Is carried away by the surrounding atmosphere, nnd the spectators depart with a regret ful feeling that the short-lived crea tion cannot remain longer among its sister plants. On Tuesday evening a party assembled at the home of E. E. Snyder to await the opening of a bud, which began to unfold at 7.30 o'clock. 13y 9 o'clock the flower was fully de- eloped, and shortly after cut away and preserved In an alkallme liquid. On "Wednesday evening a very rare species owned by Dr. G. B. Seamen unfolded three handsome corn-colored blossoms, which were viewed bv sev eral hundred people. It was expected that three others would appear la3t evening and a large crowd assembled to see and udmire this rare (lower. HE COULDN'T STAND IT. The Good Ilishop Wns frightened nt the Speed Ho Wns Traveling. From the Chicago Record. Speed was once demonstrated on a western road in a fashion to curl the hair of at least one old Mormon bishop. The church man considered it a phe nomenon, and got off the train as quickly as ho could. Ho had bull whacked across the plains In the early days, and strange to say, had never ridden on a railroad train until the time when he entered upon his trip from Green river to San Francisco. The speed was, therefore, a revelation to him. He had never before seen any thing so swift, and he was scared. About twelve miles from Ogden he asked the conductor for the time of day, and was told It was 7:33. He Im pressed this time forcibly on his mind. Now, for a wonder, the western con nection at Ogden was quickly made, and after the lapse of but a few min utes the Sun Franclsco-bound travel ers were on their way California ward. Ogden had been left behind only a few miles, and the train was whoop, lng along at a behind-time rate of speed, when the old bishop, frightened and trembling, dared to ask the con ductor what was the time of day. If you have traveled westward you know that at Ogden the time changes, und Snn Francisco time, one hour earli er, Is adopted. The conductor had San Francisco time and he said: "It is 7:10 ten minutes nfter 7." The old bishop, previously haunted by a dread of impendlnjr destruction because of the horrible rate of speed at which he was being whirled through space, rose with a wild cry and made for the door. "Lemmo off!" ho cried. "It was thir-ty-flvo minutes after 7 nn hour ago, an' we're goln so fast we are goln' faster than time can count Itself. Lem me off." Had he really been going as fast as the old man had believed he would surely have been beaten to bits as he Jumped from the trnin. As It was, he was only rolled something like a half, mile nnd was carried back to Ogden on a hand car. We have the finest line of carpets ever brought to Scrautou,all grades and prices.

THE AFFAIR OF WILBUR PAWCETT An Old Hotel Clerk's Story ol tlio Mysterious Veiled Womnn Who Se cluded Herself In n ltoom nt tlio l'ut-in-Uay Hotel Until Whisky Gnva Her Away-Tlio Escape to Cnntuln nnd Subsequent Arrest on Suspicion nt nn Ico Cnnilvnl. "I can tell you a little Incident that happened on the historic Island of Putin-Bay, in Lake Erie, some years ago, and as the narrative leads up to a sen sational and tragic cllrr.x and har. never appeared in print it would perhaps mako Interesting reading," remarked John J. Rice, a traveling man for a New York house, recently, to a Wash ington Post reporter. "It occurred at the time the old Put-In -Bay House was In the zenith of Its glory. It was In August at the height of the season, and the hotel was crowded to Its fullest capacity with pleasure-seekers. One day one of the clerks was taken sud denly ill, nnd as the entire office force was rushed with business the loss of the services of a clerk Just at that time wns quite a serious matter. "I had had some experience behind the desks of hotels In the east, a fact which was known to the hotel people at Put-in-Bay,nnd the second day after the clerk was taken 111 I was appealed to by the head clerk to take the sick man's place until he recovered suffic iently to resume his labors. As I was away on a vacation I rather disliked to go to work, but the Inducements offered mo were first-class, and I finally con sented. I wns to go on duty at noon and remain until midnight. A VEILED LADY. "The second day I was behind the desk a rather tall lady, of aristocratic bearing, and heavily veiled, arrived at the house, entered one of the reception rooms, gave a bell boy her card with instructions to take it to the clerk, ask him to register her name and assign her a pleasant room in a quiet portion of the house. On the card was the name 'Clara It. Opydyke' In print, and below was written in pencil in a small, cramped hand, 'Baltimore, Md.' I reg istered the lady and sent a boy to show her to her room, to which her baggage, a medium-sized sole-leather trunk, was soon sent. The lady Informed me, by the bell boy, that she desired to have her meals sorved In her room. I had no Idea then that she meant she did not Intend to go down to the dining room at all during her stay. I supposed she was tired and intended to have only one or two meals served In her room. She also asked the boy to bring her a note from the clerk advising her as to the rates for board by the day and also by the week. I wrote the rates on a card nnd sent it to her. She sent the boy back with a $20 Bill, telling him to Inform me that she would perhaps re main a week, but If she did not the house could take its pay out of the $20 and give her the remainder when she left. "After she had been there three days without going to the dining room, hav ing all her meals carried to her, I sent her a note Informing her that we would have to charge her a dollar a day extra for meals sent to her room. She made no reply to the note. DRINKS GAVE HER AWAY. "That evening when "the head bar keeper turned over his receipts to the hotel office he had. as usual, several slips of paper on which certain guests, designated by their room numbers, were charged with drinks, and one of these slips bore the number of the room occupied by Clara R. Opdyke, her room being charged with two drinks of whisky, a brandy smash, and two cocktails. I asked the barkeeper If he wasn't mistaken about the num ber of the room, but he said he was not, and while we were talking over the matter another order was brought by a bellboy for a whisky punch to be de livered at that room. "I was beginning to get suspicious, nnd I made up my mind that I would find out whether the woman was drink ing the liquor or was entertaining a thirsty gentleman In her room. I told the bellboy I would deliver the liquor myself. The barkeeper mixed the drink and I took it upstairs, knocked at the door of the woman's room, and was told to come in.' I opened the door and saw the woman sitting at a tablo with her back toward me. She did not turn her face, but simply said: 'Put the liquor on the stand.' I placed tho glaps on a small stand, and then remarked: " 'I beg your pardon, but It is In vio lation of the rules of the house to serve whisky to ladies. Of course, we have very few calls for It from ladies,' nnd I laid special emphasis upon tho last word. 'An exception has inadvert ently been made, however, In your case, but SPRANG TO HER FEET. "Before I could finish the sentence the woman sprang to her feet and grasped me firmly by both arms, nnd, trembling violently, fairly hissed In my face: "Don't dare to cry out. I am desperate, and If you betray me I will kill you! I am not a woman; 1 am a man.' "I must confess that I realized from tho instant I felt the grasp upon my arms that the person who held me so firmly was not a woman. Tho grip was like that of a vise, and It would have been folly for mo to have tried to release myself. 'I will not betray you,' I said. .'Loose your hold on me; you are hurting my arms.' The man let go of me, and as ho did so I moved toward the bell button. He anticipat ed me, however, and, taking a step toward me, and with fire fairly flash ing from his eyes, ciled: 'Don't touch that bell!' There was something In his voice that convinced me that If I wanted to remain on earth I better let that bell a'one. As I turned squarely toward him, I noticed that he held a revolver In his hand, half con cealed by the folds of his dress. " 'I don't want to commit another murder,' said he, 'but I shull have to It you contlnuo to show a disposition to give an alarm, and thus Intention ally Jeopardized my personal safety.' COMPOUNDING A FELONY. "I had been away from the hotel of fice about fifteen minutes, and I was afraid that I might be wanted thero," continued Mr. Rice, "so I explained the matter to tho man, and after ex acting from mo a solemn obligation to reveal nothing that I had seen or hoard In the room, I left him to go back to the office, promising to return to his room when I got off duty at midnight. I wasn't afraid of the man. His whole bearing, despite his disguise, betoken ed tho man of polish and refinement, and Judged by his conversation, ho was a person of good education. I was convinced that he was neither crazy nor drunk, nnd there was some thing about him which not only excit ed my curiosity, but gave me confi dence that he really meant no harm If I kept my own counsel about him. The mystery) surrounding him Interested me, and I decided to learn more about him, "At midnight I returned to his room. He was waiting for me and welcomed me In an exceedingly pleasant and gen ial manner, although I could not help noticing that he was very nervous and III at ease. After we had exchanged a few remarks he reluctantly confided to mo his secrat, which was, In short, that he had killed a German army of ficer In a duel In which he claimed that the requirements of the code had not been scrupulously compiled with, and that the affair, for that reason, had assumed the character of a mnrder. REVEALED. "I had noticed that he had copies of all the dally papers received at the inland sent to his room Immediately after the various steamboats arrived. Ho picked up one of these papers, and, pointing to an Item, told me to read it, which I did. The item was a cable dispatch from Berlin to tho effect that the German authorities had been ad vised that Wilbur Fawcett, who had killed a German army oillcer, had es caped to tho United States. " 'I am Wilbur Fawcett,' said tho man, 'and have been hunted by de tectives ever since the occurrence of this miserable affair referred to in this newspaper. I feel positive that I nar rowly escaped arrest upon landing In the United States and it seems to me as If my footsteps have been dogged from New York to Washington, thonce to Pittsburg, Cleveland nnd Cincinnati, where I firmly believe I barely eluded my pursuers by assuming this disguise, which I have since maintained. I can't dispossess myself of the feeling that somehow or other it has been discover ed that I have left Cincinnati for some point in tho northern portion of the state. They would never thing of look ing for me, however, at a summer re sort. I had hoped to get a little peaco and rest here, but my craving for liquor in my present nervous condition has betrayed me, as you wculd not have suspected me, had It not been for my indiscretion in having drinks sent to my room. I want to leave here now, and I want you to help me get away. I am becoming afraid of my own shad ow. I must leave the United States, and I think I had better go across the hike to so-ne small, quiet town In Can ada, I have, therefore, determined to hire some man to take me to the Can ada shore from hero under cover of darkness. In a small boat, and land me at some isolated spot where there aro no customs officers to Interfere with me. You must engage me a boat and a discreet man to take me.' "I dislike to engage in a transaction of that sort," continued Mr. Rice, "but Fawcett pleaded with me so earnestly that he awakened my sympathy and I finally consented to send him a man with whom he could make such ar rangements as he wished, which I did, and In good time Fawcett was landed on the Canada shore, and a certain Put-In-Bay boatman ws $50 richer than before the trip. CAPTURED AT A CARNIVAL. "After remaining In Canada a couple of years Fawcett attended an Ice car nival at Montreal. There was as usual a great gathering of 'crooked' men at the carnival, and many detectives were In attendance to look after the fellows. One of these detectives arrested Faw cett for a crime of which he was not guilty, but the arrest, unfortunately for Fawcett, developed certain facts which disclosed his Identity and resulted in his detention on charge of murder, the affair, it appears, as he intimated to me at Put-in-Bay, having been nothing less than a capital offense. Fawcett's killing of the officer being held to be without that Justification which, In duelling countries, a strict compliance with the requirements of the code af fords. Fawcett, It appears, had become despondent and utterly reckless as to his fate. Life, as a fugitive from Jus tice, had no further charm for him, and he offered no resistance to his re moval from Canada to the United States, en route Germany. He wns taken from Montreal at night. He had previously, of course, been deprived of his pocket knife and all else of his per sonal belongings that It was thought could, 'by any possibility, be used In any manner to aid him to defeat the ends of Justice.
