Sick Kitties on the Sunday- Excursion A Thrilling Incident. 1 The sick kittv passenger on the I Sunday excuision traius from' Newport is not so much in vogue as formerly. How youngsters of 16 to 20 sat on each other laps and chewed each other's gums with a dying calf look on their faces was ! sketched in the Times recently. Of late true love has not seemed to have so mellifluous effect on the youngsters as formerly. They have mostly been content to sit up straight with nothing more serious than a surreptitious holding of hands'and an occasional sly glance into each other eyes. Last Sunday night, however, a batch of seven of them in one car got the mania and fell to with an abandon that would have mortified to death any thing else than a bunch of the ex ceedingly sick-calf variety. Seven of them, about three youths and four youthesses sardined into one double seat. They all had that kind of love that absolutely refuses to have a lid on it- Frank Durbin, the old sheriff of Marion, and ex- Governor Geer and wife sat across the aisle and looked on at proceed ings in dumb astonishment. At last Mr. Durbin got his breath and remarked that, "Superintendent Gardner ought to come along and gather in that bunch for the Boys and Girl's Home: what do you think of 'tm Geer. eh?" The ex- governor took one swift glance at the outfit and remarked, "if Mrs. Geer were not along I would take a hand in the tnixup, myself." ... A Mystery Solved.
