THE FIRST HANSOM CAB.
Its First Customers Wei Brokers, Who
Caused It to Become Popular.
The first hansom oab in America had
an interesting history. A reminiscent,
voluble, red faced cabby told it late the
ot her night np by the Thirty-third street
stand. It was brought over in 1870 or
1871 by John Patent of the Paoifio hotel,
in Greenwich street, just above Cort-
lundt, and it cost 70. Its driver was old
John Carter of Liverpool, since de
ceased, who came to New York in 1861.
The original cab that John Carter drove
was a handsome one, made very much
like those now in use, bnt it had a claret
body and red running gear. An interest
ing feature of it was that it was bol
stered with a pair of patent axles, which
were so complicated that Carter was the
only man who could grease them.
For some reason the cab was not pat
into mnning immediately after it was
imparted, bnt was laid np in the stable
for 1)4 years. Then John Carter ran it
from the JPaciflo hotel, bnt there was
not business enough there, and he went
down to the corner of Broad street and
Exchange place, where trade flourished,
and be used to get fares from the big
brokers. Morosini was said to have been
a good customer of his, and Jay Gould,
if reports are accurate, rode in it once
or twice. It was a familiar feature
about the Stock Exchange for four years,
and then it broke down, ending the ca
reer of the first hansom cab in America.
Fooling the Gas Man.
"It's a very fanny thing, "said a house
keeper the other evening, "how the gas
companies regulate their bills. A neigh
bor of mine cooks her breakfast by gas
and doesn't light it again until night
comes. Her gas bills average $8 or 19 a
month. Now, I cook three meals a day
by gas and leave a jet burning all night so
I can get hot water to dilute condensed
milk with for the baby. My gas bills
don't go above $5. I don't know what
makes the difference, bat I suspect my
neighbor bought her gas stove from the
gas company, so they know she uses one.
They don't know I have one. That most
be it" New York World.
Energy In Matter.
It is estimated by Professor Dolbear
that a lump of coal weighing a pound
has in it energy enough to lift its weight
1,000 miles high. He says that this en

Its force on every other partiole, and
that if not prevented they will come to

may be, '

A WOMAN'S NERVES
STORY OF A WOMAN TO WHOM
NOISE WAS TORTURE.
She Say That She Waa Prostrated by
the Least Excitement Physicians
Baffled by Her Case.
From the Gate City, Keokuk, la.
Mrs. Helen Meyers whose home is at
3515 Vernon avenue, Chicago, and
whose visit to Keokuk, la., will long
be remembered, was at one time af
flicted with a nervous malady which
at times drove her nearly to distraction.
"Those terrible headaches are a thing
of the past," she said the other day to
a Gate City representative, "and there
is quite a story in connection with it
too."
. My nervous system sustained a great
shock some fifteen years ago, brought
on I believe through too much worry
ing over family matters and then allow
ing my love for my books to get the
better of my discretion where my health
was concerned. Why, whenever my
affairs at home did not go along just as
I expected, I would invariably become
prostrated from the excitement and I
would consider myself fortunate indeed
if the effects of the attack would not
remain for a week. I was obliged to
give up our pleasant home not far from
the Lake shore drive, because I could
not stand the noise in that locality.
could find no place in the city which I
deemed suitable to one whose nervous
system was always on the point of ex
plosion. To add to my misfortune my
complexion underwent a change and I
looked so yellow and sallow that I was
ashamed to venture from the house at
all.
"Madam," said my doctor to me
soon after an unusually severe attack
of the malady, "unless yon leave the
city and seek some place of quiet, you
will never recover." So I concluded I
would visit my uncle, who lives in
Dallas County, Iowa, and whose farm
would surely be a good place for one in
my pitiable condition. I picked up the
Gate City one day and happened to
come across an interesting recital of
the recovery of some woman in New
York State who was afflicted as I had
been. This woman had been cured by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. I thought that if Pink Pills
cured that woman they might do the
same for me. I began to take the pills
according to directions and I began to
feel better from the start. After I had
taken several boxes of them I was ready
to go back to Chicago. My nervous
ness was gone and my complexion was
as fresh as that of any 16-year-old girl
in Iowa and Pink Pills is what put the
color in my cheeks. No wonder I am
in such high spirits and feel like a prize
fighter. And rfo wonder I like to come
to Keokuk for if it had not been for
Pink Pills bought from a Keokuk firm
I would not have been alive now,
laughingly concluded the lady.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale
by all druggists, or may be had by
mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, i.Schnectady, N. Y., for 60
cents a per box, orsix boxes for f 2.50.

fact that thoy do not please the eccentrle

A CATHEDRAL ON WHEELS.
Bishop Walker's Novel Car and Its Good
Work In North Dakota.
During nine month of the year the ca
thedral of the Protestant Episcopal church
of North Dakota Is traveling across the
state behind freight trains at the rate of 15
or SO miles an hour. This eccentrlo con
duct on tho part of the cathedral 1 ex
plained by the fact tbat It la a church on
wheels. The car Is called the "Church of
the Advent" and "The Cathedral Car of
North Dakota." It was built at Pullman
In 1891 at an expense of $3,000 and was
started upon its mission of spreading the
gospel In the widely scattered village on
the line of the Northern Pacific; Chicago,
Milwaukee and St Paul, Great Northern
and "Soo" railroads within the limits of
North Dakota.
In the state the denomination baa 18
tabllshod churches and 45 missions, and
a they are widely scattered Bishop Walker
finds the car indispensable In making his
visits. The principal external feature of
the car Is Its Gothic transept, and within
are 80 seats for the worshipers. Through
the center of the car runs a broad aisle,
and at one end Is the chancel, with altar,
tectum and font. At one side I a hand
some cabinet organ presented by the
Young Ladies' Missionary society of the
Church of the Heavenly Rest of New York.

chancel is a small apartment which the

pal palace. It is his study, rectory, rob
ing room, bedchamber and at times hi
kitchen. Nearly every church In America
contributed something toward the oar and
It equipment. A church In Summit, N.
J., donated the altar, a Philadelphia
olereyman furnished the lecturn, Mrs.
Colt of Hartford presented the silk altar
cloth, and various other useful and orna
mental accessories were the gift of differ
ent churches or persons.
The car Is hauled from place to place
free of charge by the railroads, and wher
ever It stops it Is met by ranchmen and
farmers, many of whom ride 60 miles.
The bishop administers the sacrament of
the communion and confirmation, solem
nizes marriages, administers the rite of
baptism and ordains qualified applicants
in the missionary service. During a re
cent trip be visited 80 places, and in no
Instance was his congregation less than
76, although many of the place only had
a population of about 40. Bishop Walker
waa born In New York In 1830. In 1883
the missionary district of North Dakota
was created, and be was assigned to it.
He Is well known on account of his labors
among the Indians, and In 1887 President
Cleveland made him a member of the na
tional board of Indian commissioner.

THE FIRST AND LAST.
THE EMPEROR FREDERICK AND 8CHU"
' MANN'S ADAGIO.
Th Yonng Prlne Learned II to Play on
Ills Father Birthday Fortyfonr Tear
After It Soothed th Last Hour of the
Vying Emperor.
It was the year 1844. Prince Frederick
was then in his thirteenth year. The mil
to lesson had Just ended, and the prince'
master, Relchardt, the composer of our
beautiful patriotic song, "Waa 1st Dp
Deutachen Vaterland," was about to de
part, when tha young prince detained bim.
"Mr. MWehardt," said he, with his sym
pathetic, melodious voloe, "papa's birth
day will soon be here on March 89. Dr.
Curtius thought it would be very nice for
me to practice something especially tor the
occasion. Would you be kind enough to
select something appropriate? But it must
be something quite difficult, so that papa
will Bee that I have taken great pains, and
he will be welt pleased. Papa prefer the
tender, pathetic melodies"
"Then, your highness, oue would have
to take some pretty adagio. H'm, h'm,"
replied Holchardt, and he searched among
the music portfolio to find something ap
propriate. Finally he held one sheet of
muslo in his hand longer than the rest and
examined it.
"Would that do, Mr. Ueichardtf"
"Your highness, we have not yet come
to that. The thing is too difficult. It Is
the adagio from Schumann' V sharp mi
nor sonata. It will uot do. Besides, the
time between now aud his majesty's birth
day Is too short."
"Oh, Mr. Ketchardt," replied the prince
coaxlngly, "Iwtll be very diligent I Please,
pleasel It will do it must do! And,"add
ed the little prince merrily, "If it will not
go 'adagio' It shall go'fortel' Papa always
aaya that to me."
Accordingly the difficult adagio was
practiced, a fter all, and cost a great deal of
diligence, application and patieuce. On
March 23 the young prince surprised his
royal father with an execution of the love
ly composition, and indeed he played it
with wonderful firnineseand great expres
sion. For this manifestation of his ex
traordinary seal his favorite wish was re
alized. Papa made him the present of a
real, completely furnished carpenter shop,
for, as is well known, the prince learned
the carpenter' trade besides book binding
and typesetting.

Forty-four years later.
It was in the year of mourning, 1888.
The imposing Cattle Frledrichakron, call
ed so immediately after Emperor Freder
ick's accession to the throne, lay there in
the bright sunshine and majestia beauty,
and man and nature yes, all here
breathed happiness, rapture and life.
AUf
Alas, nol For in one of the apartments
of the lower floor lay, with pale face, on a
slightly raised couch, a man of whom a
short time before could still have been
said what Chiron said of Achilles, "How
ever hard sculptors worked on him, he nev
er appeared as grand as he was in reality."
It was the noble f-mperor Frederick,
stricken by a most cruel fate, the sufferer
so resigned to his lot. The eyes, formerly
so clear, blue and sunny, created to see
the sun of beauty and to absorb the radi
ance thereof as well as to give forth all
tbat la beautiful, grand, good and nobis
in man' spirit and heart, looked wearily
in front of him. Only occasionally, when
they lifted themselves to look through the
open window far Into the main drive
which leads through the royal gardens and
terminates here at tbe castle, more radi
ance and cheerfulness filled hla eyes, and
the gaze into the ocean of verdure, in
which marble statues shone here and there,
seemed to bathe itself in the enchanting
beauty of nature.
Tbe empress entered. She tried to ap
pear very hopeful and cheerful and seated
herself beside the couch of her dearly be
loved husband. Just as the field outside,
so the royal patient'a countenance was
suddenly overcast with sunshine. Me
smiled at his faithful wife, and by gently
waving his band toward the window be
seemed to say how glad he felt to see the
beautiful weather. Toward the last the
sufferer, who could no longer speak, pre
ferred to make himself understood by
means of signs, and the imperial family
as well as the rest who were In attend
ance had acquired such practice in the
interpretation of these signs that tbe em
peror could dispense almost entirely with
tbe troublesome writing on tablets.
Tbe empress asked her noble husband if
he had any particular wish, and after a
pause he made his fingers move as if be
were playing the piano.
"Who shall play t" asked tbe empress,
and added anxiously, "And would it not
excite you too much'"
No," indicated tbe emperor, and then
he wrote on his tablet:
"I desire very much to hear music.
Could not Ruefer, Victoria' teacher,
comef"
"I shall send for him," replied tbe em
press. "He Is over at tbe Uornstedter
church Just at present and is giving her
an organ lesson."
Tbe empress then gave tbe order, and
toward half past 11 o'clock tbe artist and
composer of the "Merlin" appeared to an
swer the honored call. In the apartments
adjoining that of the emperor stood a
grand piano, at which the artist sat down
as soon as the doors of the adjoining room
were opened. The emperor had asked him
to play several of his favorite melodies and
listened with visible pleasure to tbe lan
guage of sounds which both came from
and went to the heart. Tbe pianist, great
ly moved, bad already played several se
lections of his own and of other composi
tion, and each time tbe emperor sent him
his thanks, with the request to play more.
Again tbe last chords of a melody had died
away, when tbe empress asked, much wor
ried, "Does it not tire or excite youf "
The emperor replied In the negative, and
again he wrote: "Only one more. An
adagio from a sonata. It shall be tbe hist."
Tbe master there In the next room, sore
at heart, complied with his dying emper
or's wish. Again he seated himself at tbe
piano and played a touching adagio.
The emperor listened. His eyes became
brighter. He beckoned to tbe empress
and wrote down in feverish haste: "Four-ty-four
years ago I played that adagio for
papa's birthday. Of course not as well.
It Is from the F sharp minor sonata. Very
pretty. Thank Ruefer heartily. Last piece.
Then sleep!"
Alas, it was really the last melody, this
adagio! They were the lust musical sounds
wblcb reached the ears of the dying mon
arch, the last greetings of the art so loved
by bim her farewell greetings 1 Adagio
Slept the sufferer, who endured endless
pain without complaint, over into the
kingdom of eternal and purest harmony.

However, h wanted some shed built

him that he could not undertake til work

wished, because most of bis workmen were
drafted to join the army at once.
Gueau de Keverseaux replied) "Th
workmen need not go. They can tend tub

men, but only the first phrase made any
