MINOR MATTERS
OFJHTEREST
The extent to which a little ohild
may be indulged by austere men who
apparently have no time for anything
but business is well Illustrated by the
following pleasing incident: Recent
ly Mri. W. W. Gulick, of South Dau
ville, took a trip to Philadelphia. She
was accompanied by her little five-year
old son, George. When she purchased
a ticket at Sooth Dauville the little
fellow begged for a ticket also. To
satisfy the boy, Station Agent Clark
drew oue of his cards from his pocket
and stamping it. handed it to the
youthful passenger.
Nothing more was thought of the
matter by the Station Agent until tie
little boy with his mother returned
home from Philadelphia. Mr. Clark
was then shown the card, which had
taken the trip to Philadelphia and
back. It was a marvel to look at and
oontaioed no less than sixty conductor
punch marks. Every time the con
ductor came through the oar the little
boy, who has pleasing wiuning ways,
presented iiis card and was never turn
ed down. Each of the six conductors
met with on the trip as shown by the
pouch marks paid his respects to the
little boy aud how often they punched
the "ticket" is revealed by the face
of the caid, which is nearly "all
hole*."

Mr. Cole's example in potting down
the new pavement is worthy of imita

RADIUn WILL CURE
BAD CANCER CASES
NEW YORK, April 19.—Exjeri
meuts onder way at Flower Hospital
indicate that by a certain app ication
of radium cancer can be cur.'d. The
effective method of applviug radium
has been discovered by Hogo Lieber, a
no'ed chemist of this oity.
Mr Lieber has succeeded in dissolv
ing radium aud the solutiou exerts all
the activity of pure radium. Io order
to test the curative power of the solu
tion it was decided to give a thorough
test at the Flower Hospital. There was
an old woman among the patients of
the hospital who was slowly dying of
cano<-r that had attacked the instep of
her left foot. She was Sarah Oliver
of New Canan. Conn. Realizing the
almost hopeless character ot her mal
ady she eagerly consented to undergo
experimental treatment.
Two weeks ago shereoeived her first
treatment with the solution, or coat
ing, as it is technically known. Six
days later, the great tomor that menac
ed bar life,literally dropped off,show
ing the healthy flesn underneath.
Dr. Harvey King, head of the Flow
er hospital clinic conld scarcely be
lieve his eyes. Dr. William H. Dieffen
baoli who p-rsonally conducted the
treatment, was equally amaaed. But
there was no disputing the facts. The
balk of th l cauuer had beeo removed,
ieatiug a mere rim of disease tissue
thtt presents absolutely no ob taile
to treatment.

CARNEGIE'S NIECE
MARRIED DRIVER
PITTSBURG, fa., April 19.—The
Pittsburg Times publishes this morn
iug a copyright article iu part as fol
lows :
"A story that has all the elements
of romance came to light yesterday
through the simple announcement of
the arrival from Eurpoe of Mr. ail 1
Mrs. James Hpver and thier infant
daughter. The bride —for Mr. nnd
Mrs. Hevfcr were married less than a
year ago and were spending thdir
honeymoon across the water v. as
formerly Miss Nancy Carnegie, one of
the most piomiuent society girls of
Pittsburg, New York and Dnngenes*,
Fernandia, Florida, while the groom
comes from the humbler walks of life
and was.for a time,her mother's coach
man.
The bride is tlie youngest child of
Mrs. Lucy Colemau aud the late Thom
as M. Carnegie and a niece ot Andrew
Carnegie. The groon was a widower,
with two children oue of whom a lit
tle girl,was being reared iu a convent
She has now been taken from the con
ent by her father, however, and is a
member of tho family again.
Although the marriage took place in
New York almost a year ago it was
not made public at the time and the
secret has been so well kppt that none
but members of the bride's family aud
a very few of their cl jsost le'atives
and friends had any inkling of the
true state of affairs. Some months ago
rumors of an elopement from Ft-rnan
dina developed but a deiiial was made
and since then nothing has been known.
Now, however, the story is made pub
lic The young people have been re
ceived by the bride's family and they
are being entertained at the palatial
home of the bride's uncle au<i aunt.

Mrs. Hever is now abcu' 23 or 31
years of age, her Irish ii I is 34 o r 35

Neatly five years ago, Mr. Hever, a
handsome, stalwart young Irishuiiu
was engaged to take charge of hor.-es
in the Carnegie stables in Pittbsurg
and at "Duugoness " lie was a line
horseman and a man of sup.rior educa
tion aud breeding. Miss Carncige's
love of riding brought the young folks
together a good deal and during the
three years that he was employed by
Mrs. Carnegie they became very good
friends.

Oscar says th«t in 1848 when the
Hedlens House, then Union Hall, was

a small bov and set up ten pins on the
alley opposite the hotel ou the lower
end of what is now the Couit House
grouiid. That .was fifty seven jeirs

on that spot then and le never heard
of one. The well belonging to tl e ho

boilding. It does not seem unlikely
that tlio well accidentally uncovered

In reralliug the past last evening
Mr. Mellin drew some very grauhic
piotures of Danville's past, which seem
very interesting to us of the present
day. While Oscar was setting up ten

His companion in the bowling alley
was John Miller. Tlie soldiers arrived
at Danville on several canal boats. On
that memorable day In the forenoon
the two boys were permitted togo

ed before Recorder Goft ami counsel
expressed the opinion that the surpris

day save ground for tin hope that the
jury box will be filled by tomorrow
night.
Conn-el on both sides have restrict
ed their questions to the narrowest
point and no time is being lost in use

Nau Pattorstin pays the same Keen,
eager attention to the selection of the
jurors that site did on the two pre
vious trials. She listens to each ques
tion aud answer carefully and indicate
the counsel whether the juror will be
acceptable.
Yesterday she turned down a tales,
man. who was acceptable to both
counsel. The talesman iu question was
apparently desirable to both sides aud
was about to bo accepted when Nan
turned to Mr. Levy and said: "I do
not want him. He does not suit iue."
Levy seemed surprised and said af
ter be challenged the talesman: "You
most not think that every man who is
acceptable will suit you. The talesman
was very satisfactory."
Theie was the usual jam when the
couit room was opened this morning
aud tho court officers had their trou

Only one talesman was permitted to
enler. Recorder Goff has deo.ded that

As the Train
Rolled North
By FRANK H. SWEET
Copyright, 19W., by fVunA 11. Suvet
When the Southern Palm Limited
drew out from Jacksonville, north
bound, there were two young men on
board under widely different circum
stances. One was crouching upon
ihe second step of a Pullman, forward,
with his eyes tixed grimly upon the
iloor through which the conductor
would pass on his round of ticket col
lecting. The other was In the ob
servation car at the rear of the train,
two seuts from the end, staring at an
open letter with eyes widened In
despair, horror and desperation.
This train made few stops, but at
the llrst station, In obedience to a sig
nal from the bell cord, it slowed down
sufficiently for the conductor and
brakeman to thrust the man from the
second step of the Pullman; then It
shot ahead at full speed to make up the
few seconds lost. The tramp remain
ed standing where he had dropped, his
face now keen and alert, and his
right arm upraised. As It swept by
the train brushed his clothing and the
wind of It stirred his rough, unkempt
hair and beard. Three cars passed;
then came the observation car. Sud-

STEEL BAND ABOUND THE OTHER.
denly his hand closed like a vise upon
the rear railing, his body swung out
and writhed for a few moments In
midair, then his feet caught, and he
drew himself In by Bheer force of mus
cle and nerve to the same crouching
position he had occupied on the Pull
man forward.
Inside the car the other man was
now tearing the letter into the most
minute fragments, as if striving to
annihilate Its contents. When the
pieces were too small for further re
ductlon they swept through the open
window and were scattered thinly
I over a half a mile of the roadbed. The
man rose and glanced about the car.
It was almost empty, and the other
passengers were burled in papers or
book 9. He turned back quickly, open
ed the door, and with a light spring
threw himself from the train, but not
to the ground! Just as he sprang, the
tramp flung himself out suddenly, with
nouiing but his left hand grasping the
rail. As the two bodies came together
the tramp's right arm closed like a
steel band around the other, while the
weight of It bore them down, down,
until their legs almost swept the mock
lng rails of the roadbed.
Not many men—not one in a thou
sand—could have sustained such a
weight in such a position, swinging
from side to side under the motion of
a train going at fifty miles an hour,
but gradually, little by little, the left
arm contracted and drew them up, up
and In until finally, with a last desper
ate effort, they were both crouching
upon the rear platform, white, gasping,
too exhausted to stand or speak.
The well dressed man recovered first.
The horror was sun In his eyes, but
with it was something more. Perhaps
that instant in midair, with death In
front, had made him see more clearly;
perhaps his miraculous rescue had
made possible the greater rescue from
himself. As he rose staggeringly the
tramp's arm went out In feeble protest,
but a hand fell upon the arm gently.
"No need of that now, my friend,"
the still white Hps whispered. "I am
awake and in my tight mind. I shall
never attempt anything like that
again."
The train began to slacken, and at
that moment the door opened and the
conductor came out. They were pass
lng over a short piece of road where
repairs were being made, and slow
speed was necessary. The conductor
nodded to his passenger, but seemed
surpftsed at his disheveled appearance.
Then his gaze fell upon the tramp, and
his face darkened.
"You here," he exclaimed, "after be
ipg put off once too? And, from the
looks of this young miin, you have
been up to more than stealing a ride
this time. I"
There was a sudden jerk, which in
tlmated that the train was about to In
crease its speed The conductor caught
the tramp by the shoulder and with a
yulck twist sent him from the train.
The passenger uttered an angry cry
of remonstrance and tried to stay the
act, but too late. As the train gath
ered headway they saw the tramp go
•dunging and staggering down a stewn
embankment, at me oottom oi tvnii'h
he righted himself and waved hi* hand
cheerfully at the receding train.
live minutes later the young man
was back In the car. two seats from
the end. still dazed and white. Sud
denly the door at the forward end
opened, and a girl entered, holding a
paper in her band She came straight
to him.
"Robert, what does this awful thing
about you mean?" alie exclaimed. "1
suppose you have seen tl/* paper."
He was holding to the bark of the
•eat f«r support, his face drawn and
haggard.
"No. you needn't show it to me, lfei
eu." he answered. "I have not seen I In
paper. but 1 know what it contains. It
ts true. I only discovered it myself a
short time ago. 1 was given my mall
as we left the hotel and slipped it into
my pocket. 1 did not read it until I left

all In a letter from my partner*
The girl looked at him, her lips trem
bling, but she smiled. "I know it is not
true, Robert," she declared positively,
"not a word of it. I have known you
ever since we went to school together,
and you are utterly incapable of a
thing like that. Vou have not read the
paper, so you do not understand. Why,
Robert" her voice quivered with in
dignation—"the paper says you stole
half a million dollars, and from poor
people, mostly people whose means of
support it was. It's absurd. You have
been with us the last three months, and
this has all happened within that
time."
"But don't you see it's just the same,
Helen," he said gently. "The money
was Intrusted to me. and I am the sole
one responsible. If I neglected the
trust and allowed my partner an op
portunity to do the rest I am really the
one to blame."
"I say you are not." she interrupted
emphatically. "Maybe It was unbusi
nesslike and maybe you are legally re
sponsible—l do not know about that.
But I do know you are no more guilty
than I am in the way the paper puts
it. Of course you will let every cent of
your property go toward paying tbeae
poor people, and if it isn't enough we
will pay the rest off just as fast as we
can earn it."
"Helen, Helen!" he remonstrated
sharply. "You must not talk like that.
You do not understand. We cannot be
married now. Why, dear, I may be ar
rest ed."
"All the more need you will have for
my help, then." she replied quickly. "If
I am to be a helpmeet there will never
be more occasion for It than now. We
will be married just its soon as we
reach Washington, just as we planned,
and then we will work together to live
tills thing down. Why, Robert!"
For the young man's heftd had sud
denly dropped to the back of the seat,
and his shoulders were heaving convul

Wanted Jsdße to Be Overruled.
Up in Maine there is an old custom
of opening the courts with prayer,
which custom in one instance, describ
ed with considerable gusto by ex-Judge
Henry E. Howland, led to a petition
with which the judge couldn't exactly
sympathize. The minister who was to
officiate at (his court was;one of the
good old fashioned, simple J living, long
praying kind who flourish, in countt-y
churches. He prayed for'the 1 welfare
of the nation and its executive*and his
cabinet; he prayed for the stateiofßcials
and for mankind in general. Then. "O
Lord, give to this presiding judge the
wisdom he so much needs.* besought
the dominie with fervor. "Overrule his
decisions to thine eternal honor and
glory." The presiding judge, appre
ciating the spirit of the petition, while
hardly relishing his diction, had to live
down tlio reputation which his asso
ciates tried to confer on him in-accord
ance with the "•haracterlzation. of the
prayer.—New York Tribune.
lllntlnoM nml Coun.
The Hindoos, or natives of India,
worship idols of wood and stone.. They
also worship animals and plants. The
cow is considered the mo=t sicred an
imal: still they worship the ox and
the bull, the fish, tortoise and bear;
also serpents, monkeys, demons and
spirits. They believe that when a per
son dies the sos:l passes into someiani
mal er plant and lives another life,
continuing to do so until it has lived
millions of lives. They think that'per
haps some one <>f their ancestors may
be living in the cow or some other
animal. For that reason they are very
kind to animals and dare not allow
them to be killed. When the cows be
come old. or for that reason become
helpless, they are sent t.i the "asylum
for animals'* in Pnnjakole. India,
where they are w«■ 11 kept for the rest
of their lives. .V good Brahman or

PRAiRIE DOGS.

From OL.lultonin to Tcifiai.
"The prairie dog migration from
Oklahoma to southwestern Texas dur
ing July. IK7I, eclipsed anything of
that sort witnessed by white men in
this country." said a veteran who saw
it. "Millions of the frisky little bark
ers must have been in quest of new
pastures or perhaps feared the ap
proachiug legi..;is of home seekers
would surely exterminate the dogs and
plow up the dog towns. The prairie
dog migration from the north to th<>
southwest lasted six days during the
month of July, 1874. I'he traveling
dogs while crossing the Ited river In
terfered to a great extent with the
cattle that came to that stream to
quench their thirst. Some cowboys
that were on the banks of Red river
during the time when the prairie dogu
swam across say that the stream was
chock full of the little rascals for
many miles tip and down the river.
The thirsty cattle were either uuable
or unwilling to stick their mouths into
the water through the moving maas of
living prairie dogs. The cowboys were
getting ready to drive the famishing
stock to a distant stream, but the Ked
river became clear of the repelling
swimmers after blocking the useful
drinking place for about a week. It
was generally supposed that the dogs
halted when they had reached the
staked plains of Texas." Kansas City'

Three Queer Animal Talcs.
The Indians say that if a beaver sent
out from the parents' lodge fails to find
a mate he is set to repair the dam. If
he fails a sieond time he is banished.
An Arab writer has the same story,
lie tells us that those who buy beaver
skins can distinguish between the skins
of masters and slaves. The latter have
the hair of the head rubbed off because
the.v have to pound the wood for their
masters' food and do it with their
heads.
One more story is about the puma,
the "friend of man." A certain Maldo
nada. a girl of Buenos Ayres, was
falsely accused of having sought to be
tray the town to the Indians and was
condemned to be exposed in the for
est. An enormous puma guarded her
all night from the attacks of other
beasts. The next day she was takeu
back to the town and pronounced to be
Innocent.—l-'rom Edmund Seloua' "Ro

Ever Welcome.
The exhibitions given by the Lyman
H. Howe Moving Picture Company
are always a revelation to the vast
throng of people who wait for each
new program. There are so many un
reliable moving picture shows going
around the country, that it is a treat
to witness a truly reliable exhibition
given by skilled people with the most
advanced ideas in machinery and other
details, which can only be said of Mr.
Howe's entertainment.
The exhibition will be given in the
Opera House on Saturday evening,
April 29, and many incidents from new
fields are promised to make this pro
gram better than ever before.

TWUfnvllr I —^ Kidney trouble has

ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it Is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it.the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
ooi'os.te. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exDOsesthe nerves of the stomach, thus caus
i-,j the gtands to secrete mucin instead of
the juir;s of natural dif".sti~n. This ia
called Catarrh of the Sto- ia<-t;

THE BELTED PLAID.
tkl> Wua thf Orlfflual Drria of thr
Scott INII Highlander.
The original dress of the liighlander
was the belted plaid. This was a
piece of tartan cloth, two yards broad
and four long, which was drawn
around the waist in nicely adjusted
folds and tightly buckled with a belt.
The lower part came down to the
knees in much the same manner as
the modern kilt, while the upper part
was drawn up and adjusted to the left
shoulder, so that the right arm might
be perfectly free. This upper part was
the plaid, which was used as a covering
for the shoulders nnd body m wet ,
weather, and when the use of both
arms was required It was fastened '
across the breast with a brooch, often
curiously enriched. A brooch was also
used to fasten the plaid on the left
shoulder. To attire himself In the belt
ed plaid required on the part of the
highlander no small amount of dexteri
ty. The usual way was to lay It on
the floor and after carefully arranging
the folds to lie down ui>on it and then
buckle It on. The lower end was fas
tened at the right hip. The utility of
such a dress in the highlands is ob
vious, for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass a night in the open air In the
most Inclement weather, while the loose
undergarment enabled him to wade
rivers or ascend mountains with equal
ease. It was thus peculiarly adapted
to the warrior, the hunter and the
shepherd.—London Mail.
PROFITS OF THE DUMP.
i»ood Money In Muny Old Thinira
That Are Throwu Away.
"I get," said a Philadelphia dump
boss, '"s4 a week, free rent and the dis
posal of any dump of value.
"Tin cans, for instance, belong to me
If the.v are dumped here, and I make
a pretty penny out of them. They are
turned, you know, into tin soldiers and
so forth.
"Corks are another perquisite of
mine. Many and many an old broken
bottle on this dump had a good cork in
It. I get 8 cents a pound for all the
corks I find.
"Old shoes are never too old to be
sold. They have always one good
piece— the piece over the Instep—that
fan be used again. The smaller pieces
of good leather cut out of them are
made into purses and wristlets.
"Eggshells also have value. Some
thing like 1,000,000 pounds of eggshell
are used every year In the manufacture
of kid gloves and print calicoes.
"Do you see those eighteen barrels
behind there? Well, each of those bar
rels contains Its own variety of assort
ed marketable dumpage. Each will
sell when tilled at » good price. There
are, 1 believe, fifty-seven varieties of
marketable dumpage, and some dumps
yield all the varieties. Mine yield*
twenty-seven."—Philadelphia Press.
