A story is told up Piscataquis way that

moderate under exciting circumstances. A
farmer found hia house on fire and hurried
ly put his small son on an old mare's back
and told him to ride and tell folks to come
and bring pails and help put it out. The
boy rode by the farms of several neighbors
without saying a word and iuto the yard

"Pa wants you to take your pail and come
over. Our house is all afire. It Is, true,"
he Raid with great moderation. The man
grabbed his pail and ran. making an out

had fallen in, and everything had gone by

A FAVORITE DISGUISE. ;:. .
(olses. His skill as a detective seemed, to
be of a very high order, and tbe merchant
was so favorably impressed by him that
he hired bim at $5 a day. He supposed
that tbe letter signed with Superintendent
Byrnes' name was genuine.
St. John went right to work, and In
bait an hour bn waa walking1 about the
store, with red Galway whiskers, disguis
ed as an Irish immigrant just from Ellis
island. Twenty minutes later he appeared
as a farmer, with a carpet sack, from
Chautauqua county. Half an hour after
ward be waa strolling about the store dis
guised as an Avenue A beer saloon keeper.
Tbe clerks began to laugh at bis numer
ous and comical disguises and at tbe great
air of mystery ho wore. By 4 o'clock in
tho afternoon be bad appeared In about a
dozen different disguises.
Tbe merchant showed the letter to tbe
superintendent of the store, who suspected
at once that it was fraudulent and decided
to communicate with police headquarters.
Detective Trainor went from the cen
tral office to the dry goods store in Har
lem and found St. John bard at work dis
guised as a Persian traveler. He ques
tioned the imitator of Old Sleuth, and St.
John told bim that he was a celebrated
detective, and that tbe secret of his great
success was the great variety of disguises
which be wore. He said he was known
to crooks as "Billy Burke, tbo burglars'
bane. " Tbe real detective arrested tbe
follower of Old Sleuth and took bim to
tbe Harlem police court.

"Charley Minot bad his little tussle with
oneof his-engineers about running a train
on telegraph signals Rlong in 1851," said
veteran railroad engineer recently. "The
Erie was a single track then of course, and
the magnetic telegraph, as it was called In
those days, was a new and in many re
spects an untried thing. The Erie bad put
up a line along Its road as bad otber rail
roads, but the telegraph had never yet been
applied by any road to tbe running ot
trains. Engineers and conductors ran their
trains according to schedule, and if it waa

in great delays in the trallio of the road,
and soon after the putting up of the tele
graph line superintendent Minot made up
bis mmil that by its use tbat evil could be
done away with and the whole existing sys
tem of railroad transportation be revolu
tionized.
He was timid, though. about making the
venture, but one day be happened to be on
a traiu bound for Elmlra, which was the
terminus of the road then. This was in
the summer of 1850. Big Ben Sboles was
the engineer. ben they got to Turner's
station they found that the train from the
west which was to meet and pass them
there was half a day late. That was the
opportunity for Charley, and he made up
his mind to settle the question of running
trains on telegraphic order right there and
then. He ;nt a message to the agent at
Port Jervis notifying bim that the train
would leave Turner's and run to Port Jervis
on the time of the belated east bound train.
The engineer refused point blank to pull
out on a track over which a train coming
toward bim bad tbe right ot way, although
that train could by no possibility get onto
that track in tne meantime.
"Such a proceeding was unheard of, and
be wouluu t let bis train take the risk.
Thereupon the superintendent discharged
bim on tbe spot end ran tbe engine him
self not only to Port Jervis, but to Nar-
rowsburg, 35 miles farther on the journey,
where the overdue train was met and passed.
The passengers thus escaped hours of de
lay, and from tbat time tbe telegraph order
on railroads not only in this country but
everywhere where there are railroads be
came tbe rule, and the science of railroad
ing was advanced a quarter of a century at
a bound.
"Speaking of 'snake heads,' there's some
thing tbe present time railroader or rail
road traveler knows nothing about. One
of the most important employees of a rail
rood in the old days was the 'snake spiker.'
wuen tne rails were simply iron straps
spiked to wooden stringers, the straps in
time worked loose, and the ends where they
were joined together curled up and looked
like a big nake with its head raised a few
inches from the ground. Hence the name,
and tbe snake spiker was a trusted man
who bad a certain section of track which
he was detailed to patrol, with a sledge
hammer and a leather bag with new spikes
in itsiung by a strap over his shoulder. He
was to keep a sharp lookout for snako
heads, for they were dangerous things for
train to come in contact with, and when be
found one, spike it down flat to the stringer
again. - The safety of life and property on
railroads depended in a great measure on
tbe vigilance of the snake spiker. And it
was over such rails as those that the boys
of the old days had tbe nerve to push their
ens! lies a mile a minute.
lhen there's the bellropeand tbe sound
ing of car wheels with a hammer when a
train stops at a station. It was funny how
the use of the bell rope originated. Tbe
introduction of car wheel inspection was
the result of a catastrophe the first really
terrible railroad accident In the country.
The pioneer conductor of the Erie rail
way was Poppy A vers, and be ran on tbe
rood when its whole working length was
between Piermont and Turner's, and there
was good room for doubt whether it would
ever get any farther. Isobody ever both

but paid bis fare to the conductor. Once in
awhile the conductor found it desirable to
eject some would be deadhead passenger
while between stations, but as there was no
means of letting the engineer know about
it except by sending a brakeman forward,
and as he generally had to climb over a lot
of freight and produce cars before he could
attract the attention of the engineer It fre
quently happened that tbe tram reached
the ref ractory.passengers station before it
could be stopped. Poppy Ayers lost a good
many fares in this way, and he got tired of
such unprofitable railroading. So he bit
opon a plan to do away with future trouble
on that score.
"One day be tied a stick of wood to one
end of a long rope, bung the stick on tbe
locomotive, where tbe engineer could see it.
and carried the rope bock over the cars to
the rear car and made tbe end fast there.
His idea was to pull the rope and agitate
the stick ot wood when be wanted the en in
necr to stop the train. In those days the
engineer considered himself the man who
was supreme on the train, and this partic-
ulnr engineer resented this plan of Poppy
Ayers' as making him subordinate to tbe
conductor, and he chucked the stick of
wood overboard the first time it was put in
use acd went on with his train. When they
got to Turner's, Poppy Ayers pitched in
and gave tbe engineer the worst kind of a
licking, put tbe stick of wood back on tbe
engine, and it worked to a charm. This led
to tbe introduction of the bellrope on rail.

Middletown in 1843 the first regular
pleasure excursion ever run on the road
started from Middletown for the Elysian
fields, the famous eld time pleasure ground
near Hoboken. The excursion was got up
Dy I'rotessor JUcttregor of the Middletown
academy. Tbe train was filled with pas
sengers, me wheels on railroad cars were
then made with cast iron spokes after
plan devised by Boss Winans. One of these
wheels broke while tbe train was running
at a high rate of speed, and several of the
cars were thrown down a high embank
ment near Seamansville. Several of the
excursionists were killed, one being a bride
who, with her husband, was making the
excursion her wedding trip, and a number
were badly hurt, some fatally. That was
the nrst casualty of tbe kind in tbe history
of railroads. It was discovered that the
wheel that broke had been cracked for
some time, a rora that accident the now
universal rule ot sounding car wheels with
a hammer at stated points came to be
auopteu, a ruie tnat nag saved many lives
and much property. The accident also led
to the abandoning of the spoked wheels

The pierced roots were then put into

A Word About the Basset Shoes,
A fashion writer in morning con
temporary asks:
'What is the attraction which brown
leather boots seem o possess for both
men and women, yonng and Old? This
year they have made their appearance
not only considerably earlier than usual,
but also in larger numbers than ever be
fore. Some declare that they are more
comfortable, but experience hardly bears
out that impression. A brown boot can
never be so pliable and so easy as one of
black leather, moreover, the brown boot
is distinctly less becoming than the
black."
The writer of this must have had
singular experience with brown leather.
The russet shoes are worn by most peo
ple because they are softer and more
pliable, and above all because the pores
of the leather are not tightly closed as
they are in patent leather, and in all
black leather tbat is subjected to polish
blacking. The difference in comfort in
hot weather between a ventilating russet
shoe and impervious patent leather is
quickly obvious when a change is made
from one to the other. The summer dress
of Americans has tended to comfort in
all respects during the last few years.
and no two innovations have added more
to a mitigation of hot weather discom
fort than the brown shoe and the un
starched fine cotton shirts for gentlemen.

that as soon as he died his body be im

Taken on New Ways.
The cigarette manufacturers have hit
upon anew advertising dodge. Thus far
it flourishes only in New York, but there
is some danger of it spreading. They
hire pretty girls to parade the parks and
the principal avenues and display ciga
rette signs. It has reached such propor
tions that the police have been called
npon to drive them out of Central park,
aud no more young women representing
any brand of cigarettes will be allowed
to promenade, ride or sit there. It seems
to be a pretty good scheme to suppress
