IN RAILROAD CIRCLES The Cigarette Story of a Man with the Darlnp of Ethan Allen Who Crawls Into tho Lair of a Wild Cat and Uses tho Blazing iyes of the Animal for a Target News Told in a line or So. tpeelsl to (lie Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, Jan. 4. While cutting wood on tho mountains, near Cascade Valley, a lumberman named Trescott was accidentally ntruck upon tho head with an uxo In the hands of a fellow worknmn named Acker. At the time of the accident Trcscott was telling n, stoiy. Trcscott remained In a coma tose condition for Just four weeks, when a Dlngliumton surgeon per formed an operation upon hit skull, removing from the brain several small particles of bone, when Trescott gradu ally revived and completed the Rtory commenced a month previous. Trescott's remarkable memory Is tho niarYcl of his neighbors, and they are wont to ask, "Who else could survive a. whack on the skull with an axe, such oh he got, and then awake from a. month's sleep of unconsciousness to go on with the very story he was tell ing at the time the blow felled him?" Trescott himself Is somewhat puzzled by the mental phenomenon. And the surgeons, too, under whose skilful fingers his brain cells were stirred to activity again, were amazed when their patient resumed tho story at the very point the middle of the sentence where the axe had Interrupted it. Concerning tho strange case, Trescott said: "The accidental blow from the axe came while I was telling n. varn to a man who was helping mo to chop down a tree, and I remembered nothing until I awoke with the doctors grouped around the bed on which I lay. Even tlien my mind was mighty hazy, and, not realizing that I had met with an accident, I simply began the story where the awful whack had caused me to stop. AVlth returning: consciousness I thought I must have fainted, for it seemed to me but a few seconds, or minutes at the most, since I had been chopping the tree. I could hardly be lieve that I had been In that sleep a whole month, and, once convinced of it. I felt something like Hip Van Winkle did when ho awoke from his long sleep. Although that month Is an utter blank to me, it must have sped with Ilghtnlng-llkc quickness, for to mo it seemed Just like a minute's nap. As I look at it, I must havo lost one month of tho threescore and ten years nlloted to me." IN RAILROAD CIRCLES. Three extra heavy freight locomo ltves havo arrived here, for service on the grades. Some Erie and Delaware and Hud son railroad men, who went south , year ago to take Jobs, havo returned to "God's country." A Delaware division brakeman has recently fallen heir, to property In London, England, valued at $50,000. The brakes that once know him will know him no more, forever. Some Tunkhannock business men believe that "tome sweet day" a rail road will bo built from that borough to Nicholson and Lanesboro. Haste the glad hour! The Erie will soon besln putting in its summer stock of ice. WHOLLY UNPREMEDITATED. "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof." Boys smoke cigarettes to pass for men, and men smoke cigarettes to pass for "boys." Thu9 the cigarettes kill tho boys and the men kill them selves. What does It profit a man if he gain Rn estate and then leave it to be dls elpated by wrangling heirs in tho pay ment of legal fees? Armed with paraphernalia and a flask, the angler now marches foith to the vicinity ponds, to return laden with the spoils of his Imagination. The old year went out and' tho new year came in like a lamb. We'll get the Hon later on. If tho oldl board fence which stands eo silently between two back yards could talk, what secrets it could tell! FOUGHT WILDCAT IN HIS DEN. With tho daring of an Ethan Allen, a Susquehanna county hunter crawled Into the lair of a wildcat a few days since, and killed the wildcat, using lrU blazing eyes as a target. The beast was tho biggest even bagged in this part of tho country. Samuel Oater houf performed the daring feat. Wil liam Darkly was his partner In the hunt. The hunters wero after foxes, when their dogs found tho cat. The beast showed tight light away, spring ing from the branch of a tree, killing ne of the dogs almost Instantly. With one sweep of its sharp claws It fatally wounded another dog and then K-aped Into the bushes, where It stood it bay. A shot from Ostei bout's title nlssed the cat, which then plunged into its den, but a few ynrds away. f)sterhout unhesitatingly crawled into tho lair. In the darkness ho could see nly the quarry's blazing eyes. He Itod and the cat fell dead. The cat measured over three feet from muz zle to tall and weighed almost fifty pounds. The hunters wero much sur prised, after carrying the carcass thirteen miles to Montrose, to learn that the county commissioners had rcased, over two weeks ago, to pay $2 bounty for wildcat scalps. They therefore had a taxidermist mount the animals remains. IN A LINE OR TWO. There was. a Joint installation of officers of Moody post and Moody Re lief corps.

"Human Hearts," the companion play to, but enttrtlt dif ferent from "Shore Acres," is regarded as one o( the best American stuge pioductions of the past ten years. When any play by a compaietlvely unknown author, first merits attention uioiikIi to recuie im opening and then goes on to the stage ot the Fifth Ascnuo theater, and continues one whole reason without levatlon, It is a guaiantie of its qualified power and Its real iriuit a well, in the l'lftlt Avenue- theater clientele Is one thut will not tolerate een a tolerably good one for Jon;.

Features Socured ftom All Pruts of th Continent What th National Museum Expect to Contribute to the Entsrtalnmont end Instruction of the Vlsltiur; Multitudes. From the Washington star. It Is safe to say that when the Pan American exposition Is opened on May 1 there will bo found enough of Inter est and beauty to captivate every visi tor. The Government exhibits are be lnp prepared lavishly. They will fur nish an excellent object leeson to those who cannot visit Washington of the way Uncle Bam attends to his busi ness. But ns In tho life of the Individ ual, so In the life of the government, theto Is an aesthetic sldn to be grati fied, and tho exhibit ot the National museum, perhaps more than any other, covers this phase of the subject. ltd utility, however, must be placed fore most, and the suggestions It will af ford to the ethnologist, zoologist and geologist ara well worthy of consider ation. This exhibit, In common with all the others which come under the ausplcen of tho Smithsonian Institute, is being prepared tinder tho direct supervision of Dr. Froderlclc W. True, the ap pointed representative of the Smith sonian Institution, whose long exper ience In this special branch of museum work has well fitted him for the tash. Bearing in mind the comprehensive ness of the little prefix "Pan," it has neon his aim to prepare exhibit which will display the resources not only of North America, but also of Central and South America, the West Indies and the new possessions also to somu extent, although this part of the pro gram has been otherwise specially pto vlded for. Dutlng the past summer Drs. Stejneger and Richmond vlsltd Torto HIco and Messrs. Palmer and lilley went to Cuba to obtain especial ly desirable material. DIFFICULTIES OVERCOME. The tyro in these matters may think that as soon as the appropriation Is made the rest Is as easy as "falling off a log," but experience proves th icveise to be true. But with all tho drawbacks, failures to collect, unexpectedly Increased ex penses, etc., the National masuem has always been ready on the day of open ing, and It will bo a repetition of the story next May at Buffalo. For convenience and with a view to following the same .cheme of classi fication ui Is now In vogue In tho museum, the ptlnclpal exhibits will b divided Into threo great classes' (I) anthropology, (2) soology and (3) geol ogy. A VALUABLE EXHIBIT. The first is being prepared under the supervision of William H. Holmes, and with the co-operation of the bureau 'ot American ethnology. The exhibit will not be aH wldo In scope as on some previous occasions, but, being more restricted and more strictly ger mane to the purposes of the occasion, It Is expected that each unit in its makeup will be more complete. It will consist essentially of twelve groups of life-size lav figures, prop erly clothed and surrounded by ac cc.s.sorle.i representing arts and modes ot life. Two of the groups will include several ilgures each, and the remain ing ten three figures each, a man, wo man and child. Each group will rep resent a distinct American type of cul ture. The following peoples will b included: Eskimos of Smith sound, Athapascans of Mackenzie river, Al goncmlns of T-ubrudor, Sioux (or Plains) Indians, Semlnoles o" Florida, Chllkats of Alaska. Hoopas of Callfor nla .Pueblo Indians of Arizona, Torelci Indians of northern Mexico, Piro In dians of the upper Amazon and Pata gonlan.s. Tho selection of these widely divers people" was not an easy task, and ths work incidental to obtaining a suf ficient and at tho same time accurate costume for each individual to pass the inspection of the Puffalo police lms been phenomenal. T3ut it has been done and the groups are clothed. INT THE ANIMAT. KINGDOM. In the animal kingdom the exhibit are to bo represented by the largest, most characteristic and most striking forms from the highest to tho lowest family of vertebrates (I.e., animals having a buckbone). It has chanced that several opportunities havo occur red to obtain some quite rare forms of largo game, such as tho glacier bear, the kodlak bear, the northwest caribou, the white sheep and giant moose of Alaska. Tho remainder of this part of the exhibit of animals will Include some forty or more species, embracing various kinds of American seals, deer, bears, wolves, foxes, rats, rabbits, etc. A specimen of tho Flor ida seacow, now nearly extinct, will accompany the collection, although not of itH own volition, being slutted too full to walk. Then come the South American mammals. representing some thirty kinds and including such characteristic forms as the Patagon inn cavy, giant armadillo, guauaco, clnrugna, spider monkey, etc. AMEUTCAN BIRDS. The display ot North American birds, though not tho largest, will, In many respects, bo the llticst the mus eum has ever brought togethet. Tho specimens huve boon selected by All'. RIdgway, the well-known ornitholo gist, and aro being mounted by tho skillful taxidermists of the museum. Some eighty species will be shown, representing the most characteristic and striking forms'. The South Amnr lout birds will Inclurlo the gigantic condor of tho Andes, tho American ohu Icli, and other Iatg3 birds, and the gaudy jiar rots und macaws, the beau tiful littles humming birds, and a host of other (striking fornm that go to make up the brilliant bird fauna ot the tropics. nEPTII.ES AND AMPHIIitANS. The cases devoted to reptiles und amphibians will Illustrate the poison ous and harmless snakes, the croco dile, the alligator, several kinds of tur tle, the huge Galapagos tortoise, til's hell-bender, tho Cuban tree toad, a mieer-looklng creature with large, melancholy eyes. It la hoped, too, that Dr. Stejneger, thp curator of reptiles, will be ablo to obtain a glass snake, which, as everybody is supposed to know, Is not a snake fit nil, but a liz ard with a wonderfully brittle tall. Tho snakes and other reptiles for the most part to be of plaster, which, ur ter much experimenting, seems to bo thp most serviceable material for Urn purpose.

The fishes are to bo very numerous, perhaps representing as many as 130 kinds, and ranging in size from the great blue shark to the little stickle back. This collection lias been ar ranged under the supervision of Bar ton A. Bean. As In all the other ex hibits, each .specimen will havo a. label giving the popular and scientific names, the geographical distribution, etc. Al most every color under the sun will be observable, e. g.: White fish, straw berry bass, striped bass, yellow tull, blue fish, black fish (from Alaska), red mullet, etc. Some again are named from their likeness to other animals nnd various common objects, such as paddle fish, c.itllsh, buffalo fish, razor- back, lizard fish, pipe fish, sea hoise, squirrel fish, sail fish, spear fish, thread tin. butterfly fish, pumpkin seed, sea-mink, sheepshead, angel fish, hog llsh, imrrot llsh, trigger lish, file fish, trunk fish, sea raven, wolf fish, toad llsh, pig flsh, sword fish, etc. Some rare South American forms will also be exhibited, If possible, e. g.: The characlus, the large arapalma, electric? eel, various cat fishes, etc. In concluding the discussion of the zoological exhibits It may be added that It Is hoped to assemble a soectal group of animals to Illustrate the ex traordinary power they possess ot changing their color In order to pro tect themselves from some pending dancer. OKOI.OQY OF THR CONTINENT. The last croup of exhibits to be considered is that representing the geology of the continent. In some re spects this feature Is the most difficult on account of the weight of the ma terial and the cost of transporting It from distant regions. There will be shown the fossil animals, Including restorations oud originals of the large vertebrates, Including Xeuglodon, a large whale-like mammal, from the Tertiary formations of the southern states, Tloeratops, Tltanothcrlum and others. Somo TOO specimens of fossil ammonites und crlnolds are also to be exhibited. The exhibit will also In clude a systematic collection of miner als, comprising about '20 specimens, and there will also be an Interesting series of striking forms of concretion ary structuio In crystalline and frng mental rocks, Including stalagmites, stalactites and fossil woods, The ser ies of native elements will Include car bon, in the form of diamond or graph ite, sulphur, tellurium, arsenic, allt montlte, antimony, bismuth, gold, sil ver, copper, mercury, amalgam, plati num iridium, Irldosmlne and iron.

Cttcnp In The Worll'n W01K There are three sorts of men. and for two of these sorts the tendency to Industrial consolidation is a distinct advantage, while for the third there is no salvation In any economic svstom that has yet been devised. Thess tin re classes nre ihe thoroughly competent who go to the top and command an nual salurlfts that would once haw been fortunes: the half-competent wh find profitable employment In subnrJ lnate positions and are saved from going Into business for themselves and falling, as they would havo failed under the old system; nnd the Incom petent who sit on the park benches as they would have done befote. This country Is so big, and lln trade Is becoming so vast that big concerns are needed to handle It. No collection of small manufacturers, without i. common purpose except to fight oru another, could hope to handle such a business. It requires consolidation, or ganization, and heads capable of hand ling armies of men. This Is the oppor tunity of the young man with brains. So far as I know anything about largo concerns, they nre all looking for good men to take high executive positions. The mnn who has the advantage of an education lir a technical reboot, and possesses business ability, will b rushed right along to the top. The great combinations oau well afford . pay large salaries to men who can manage tlielr expensive machinery and who aie trained to high special labor.
