Tho funeral procession con- •isted of ft single laudaa and a hearse. Paaaoraby looked at the pathetic little! corUge as it came out of the ^Traveled- driveway from the rear door of the state­ ly dwelling and lichtly remarked, "One of the help is dead." Kone of the papers in their rfiortuary columi furnished a clew to the identity ©f the dead. Only the heartbroken fa- "ther, the mother and sisters knew the old, sad fltory which for ages bards have (rang. It was indeed an awful lesson. Decades ago the trite saying was penned, "There are sermons in stones, and good * in everything," and that truism is as po­ tent today as it was then. Kone knew and few guessed that the poor, frail frame that was on its last long journey was once the body of a young woman who, seven years ago, had fashionable Portland at her feet, was courted and petted by all and was al­ lowed every pleasure that mind could invent or money procure except free­ dom. She longed for New York. The night­ ingale was caged, and she longed for freedom. She burst the tiny, woven gold- eh chains of love and became as the moth to the candle. Three years on Fifth avenue, then to Broadway, then in the human maelstrom toward the Battery, then that haven of home. , of all, Calvary.--Exchange.

GEORGE 0. 2:211-2 TO:.: S*V H«» * 8n»k« Fight Ended. A remarkable occurrence took place lately in the zoological gardens at Bres- lau. In the cage of the large snakes a South American boa constrictor con­ tended for a rabbit with a large python from we6t Africa. It did not succeed, however, the python being the stronger of the two, and it withdrew. About two hours later the keeper found the same snakes fighting for another rabbit. As the keeper supposed that the boa, which was the weaker of the two, would again give up its prey, he left them to themselves and went home. The next morning he was horror stricken to, find that the unfortunate boa had not let go its hold and had been swallowed by the python as a pendant to the rabbit. The boa was nearly 7 feet long and corre­ spondingly thick. The python had al­ ready swallowed one rabbit before the one which proved fatal to the boa. Its circumference throughout its length was t from 23 to 28 inches, and its skin was expanded to double its usual size. The supposition that the snake might per­ haps not be able to digest the boa proved false. Digestion proceeded only some­ what more slowly than usual.--Pall Mall Budget. A Graceful Act of » Noble An interesting incident in San Fran­ cisco the other day was the gift of $20 by William T. Coleman, the head of the famous vigilance committee, toward making comfortable the last days of Ned McGowan. The latter was the leader of the lawless element of 18G6 whose conduct brought about the mur- derq^^fres King of William, brother of ifialo police justice, and the ex­ 's:! jja of the murderer Casey by the •g^aantes. /McGowan was himself condemned to death by the committee, but escaped, first to southern California and then to Europe. He afterward returned, stood trial for his offenses and upon securing an acquittal assailed Coleman savagely in a newspaper which he started and in a history of his own career. About three years ago he went once more to California to sue the historian, H. IL Bancroft, for libel in his history of the state, but came to grief, and is dying of destitution at the age of 86. He was once a political boss, the head of a great gambling establishment and worth half •jfcTOflUoa.--Buffalo Courier. Works Both Ways. The district court has rendered a de­ cision in regard to the Jim Crow car law requiring the railroads to provide sepa­ rate cars for whites and negroes that "will seriously interfere with justice. The decision declares thaft the law makes no exception of deputy sheriffs or officers accompanying prisoners, and that a white officer having a colored prisoner in charge cannot accompany him in the same car. The case arose over the sheriff of Lafayette parish who was taking a negro to an asylum for the insane, and who^ was forced from the car. By the decision no negro prisoner or lunatic can be conveyed by car to jail, prison or asylum by a white officer. The law will in this respect work a great inconvenience.--New Orleans Cor. Phil- *d«lphia Press. Edwin Booth's Successor. 1 Jfow that Mr. Booth has passed into history, the American stage is cleared of its conspicuous men. It can hardly be said of any living American actor that he is the leader of his profession in this country. Among the younger actors Mr. Mansfield has won a strong place, but it would be straining language to call him the successor of the great player whose name is on all lips today. The simple fact is that the heir to Booth's place on the stage has not yet made him­ self known to the public.--New York Herald. An Honest Jndge Tells a Story. An Aroostook judge who looked thor­ oughly honest and ingenuous has been telling this story to some of the Port­ land lawyers, and they believe him. The judge says that one farmer in hih upNDtv Wised last season 800 bushels ef oats upon 10 acres of land. He sold the oats at his door for 50 cents a bushel and tucked nearly $400 in the bank. He val- • land at $150.--Lewiston Journal.
