Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly every

what we mean. Some men and women
endeavor temporarily to overcome that
Tared
Feeling by great force of will. But this
is unsafe, as it pulls powerfully upon the
nervous system, which will not rone stand
such strain. Too many people "work on

A BISHOP'S WILD RIDE
RODE FORTY MILES CLINGING TO THE
STEPS OF A VESTIBULE CAR.
Hons; on Desperately While the Train
Flew on at the Kate of Fifty Miles an
Hour A Keen Wind and Rain Cut Into
His Flesh.
Bishop John J. Esher, 72 years of age,
bead of the Evangelical association of
Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania, bad an
exciting experience the other night that
would have tried the nerves of a stronger
and younger
man. However,

latest adventure
was riding on the
lower step of a
BISHOP ESHER.
sleeping car on a
fast train going at the rate of 60 miles
an hour, he being unable to either get
off the train or into the car. Bishop
Esher had been going the rounds of the
churches in his diocese, bis last stop be
ing at Beddick, Ills., a small town on
tbe St. Louis division of the Wabash
railroad. He preached to a large congre
gation there. He lives in Chicago. ;
The limited train came through Red
dick at 4 o'clock in the morning and
stopped at a water tank for a few min
utes, so the bishop, accompanied by Rev.
Jacob Schwartz, pastor of the Beddick
cbnrcb, drove to the tank' and waited.
When the train came along, the vener
able bishop mounted the steps of the .last
sleeper just as the cars began to move.
But being incumbered by a heavy satchel
he could not knock on the vestibule cur
tain so as to attract the attention of , the
porter. '
Faster and faster the train moved,
and the bishop, his flesh cut by the
keen sleet driven by a strong wind, and
thoroughly drenched by a heavy rain,
clung to the railing of tbe platform for
dear life. Station after station flew by,
and the train showed no disposition to
stop, although the aged prelate prayed
that it might. But it was tbe limited,
and would not pause until it reached
Englewood, 40 miles from Beddick.
Almost dead from cold, tbe bishop bring
on, although his senses were nearly
gone, and several times he thought he
would surely lose bis grip, but he didn't,
and just as the train was drawing up to
the station at Englewood the colored
porter happened to look out. '.
"Fo' de Lawd'8 sake," he gasped, as
be saw the white haired bishop balanc
ing himself on the lower step, and, has
tily unlocking the door in the vestibule
curtain, be seized tbe old man by the
shoulders . and dragged him - inside.
Stimulants judiciously administered
soon restored tbe bishop, and when the
train rolled into tbe Dearborn ' station
be bad almost recovered from his exeit
ing experience.
The bishop said that,' although be had
traveled a great deal, this was decidedly
the roughest trip of his life. Cincin

A WOMAN BURGLAR.
Had the Horrible Fate to Be Caught by a
Mere Man.
A woman burglar was captured ' in
Paterson, N. J.', on Saturday night She
was caught fairly in the act of robbing
the borne of Josiah P. Doremus, a real
estate dealer. ; No formal ; charge of
breaking and entering was lodged
against her. She was committed to the
Passaio county jail by Recorder Senior
for three months merely as a disorderly
person.
Mrs. Doremus retired early, and short
ly before 10 o'clock imagined she beard
a noise as of breaking glass underneath
her bedroom at tbe side of the house.
Her husband was not at home, and Mrs.
Doremus called to her servant, Maggie
Hagen, who was in the kitchen, to make
an investigation. : " ' -
Maggie made a tour of the building
and found that a pane of glass in the
side parlor window had been broken,
Making closer scrutiny of the room, she
discovered a woman crouched in the
corner behind a chair. The girl scream
ed when she saw the intruder, and tbe
latter flew for the door the moment she
was discovered.
George Slingland, a fireman, was
passing the bouse at the time, and, hear
ing the servant girl's screams, rushed
in. The female burglar made her way
through the front door, only to fall into
the arms of the fireman, who is a tall,
powerful fellow.
The fireman took bis prisoner to the
nearest patrol box and bad ber removed
to police headquarters. There she was
immediately recognized as Jeanette
Phillis, an old "rounder," who bas
scores of times been arrested for drunk
enness and Vagrancy, but for nothing
more serious. .
There is no doubt that the woman in
tended to rob the Doremus bouse. She
bad removed all of the silverware in
the dining room from the sideboard and
placed it in a pile on tbe floor.
She had made preparations to wrap
tbe' plunder in a parcel, and in a few

AN AMAZING STORY.
HOW THE GREAT AND RICH B. AND O.
RAILROAD WAS WRECKED.
Champagne That Cost Million Robert
Garrett, Flashed With Wine, Told His
Secret Thomas Scott Anticipated Him.
"Mary Garrett's Fine Loyalty.
. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
arrived in the hands of receivers.
Its descent in that direction began
when Robert Garrett opened a certain
bottle of champagne. That was the
dearest bottle of champagne on record.
It cost millions of dollars. , .
- The Baltimore and Ohio is the oldest
team railroad in this country. The
first stone of ''its ' roadbed was laid in
Baltimore on the Fourth of July, 1828,
with elaborate ceremony. Over its orig
inal length of nine miles mules dragged
its oars. Then Peter Cooper, a manu
facturer of New York, took to Balti
more a steam engine a curious concern,
something like a boiler with a stovepipe
in it And Cooper's engine broke down,
and the horse express beat it. Then
came the grasshopper engines that were
exhibited at the World's fair, the em
bryonio germs of the tremendous loco
motives of today.- So, historically, tbe
Baltimore and Ohio is extremely interesting.-
, -i f
Tbe road grew. It was the first to
cross the Alleghany mountains and tap
the great west It grew, and, thanks to
the energy, the executive capacity, the
untiring labor of John W. Garrett, it
thrived in time.-
Garrett was of the type of Commo
dore Vanderbilt; who created tbe New
York Central, and of Thomas A. Scott,
tbe father of the Pennsylvania. Garrett
knew everything about a railroad from
the ties to the president's desk. Under
his management tbe road rose to a pros-
PRESIDENT J. K. COWEN.
perity that even he had not dreamed of.
The Baltimore and Ohio became tbe city
of Baltimore and the state of Ohio and
controlled both. .-
John W. Garrett died in 1884, and
his son, Robert Garrett, succeeded bim
as president of the B. and O. Robert
Garrett suffered the disadvantage of
having a great father. Robert Garrett
was a luxurious millionaire. Tbe Gar
rett holding of B. - and O. stock was
then 57,000 shares of the 150,000.
- Robert Garrett was the center of the
social system of Baltimore. ' He wished
besides to rival his great father . as a
railroad man. ' - -
There was one railroad between Phil
adelphia and Baltimore. Robert Gar
rett wanted it for tbe Baltimore and
Ohio. ' Thomas A. Scott wanted it for
the Pennsylvania railroad.
that railroad was the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore. Jnst at that
time it was naturally the most desira
ble thing in the world to the Baltimore
and Ohio and to the Pennsylvania.
Robert Garrett generally got anything
he wanted. Wanting the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore, he looked
aronnd to see how he could get it. . He
learned that several of the largest own
ers of the stock lived In Boston. .They
owned almost , half the stock, and with
that in his possession Robert Garrett
could easily get control of the majority.
So he went to Boston. .. His negotia
tions were eminently successful. . His
offer for the stock was accepted. Robert
Garrett went to JNew York. Already in
bis mind's eye he saw the Baltimore
and Ohio trains rolling into the Phila
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore de
pot at Broad and Prime streets, Phila
delphia, for all that remained was to
sign some papers." ! - -
Now, be it remembered, Robert Gar
rett was never a self contained man. He
drank deep. Arrived in New York, be
went to a dinner party with some of bis
old friends. r Some corporation lawyers
were among them. .
: At that dinner the bottle of cham
pagne that cost millions was opened.
Robert Garrett drank it Flushed, he
could not keep his triumphant secret :
"Congratulate me, "he cried. "Drink
to the B. and O. and her .outlet to Phil
adelphia. In two days I will control the
P., W. and R"
More corks popped. But one man,
whose legs were under the mahogany,
did not drink. He excused himself about
10 p. m., pleaded a pressing engagement
and left tbe table. ' He took the first
train be could "catch to Philadelphia.
There he was driven to tbe . bonse of
Thomas A. " Scott, Rittenhouse square
and Eighteenth street It was long aft
er midnight. He aroused Mr. Scott, a
plain man. Mr. Scott went down stairs
with his nightgown tucked in bis trou
sers and bis stockingless feet in slippers.
The man who bad dined with Robert"
Garrett told Scott of Garrett's boast -
"In two days?" -mused Scott aloud.
"We'll see." : ; "
' Instantly Scott sent for his assistant,
Captain John P. Green, now vice presi
dent of .the Pennsylvania railroad, and
for some of the directors. The confer
ence lasted until daylight That morn
ing Captain Green took the first train to
Boston. . Other men close to Scott went
flying in the directions where they knew
P., W. and B. stock was held. 1
V By 2 o'clock the next day the paper
were signed that gave the Pennsylvania
control of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore. The. stock was to be de
livered in New York that nigbt Cap
tain Green went to Philadelphia, and in
stantly returned to New York carrying
a big satchel. ; The satchel looked as if
he was going on a long journey, . It was
fat and heavy. R. D. Barkley, assistant
to the president of the Pennsylvania,
helped Captain Green carry it.
That satchel contained more than f3,
000.000. Cantain Green naid it down
on tbe nail spot cash, and the P., W. I
and B. shares were handed over to bim. !
When Robert Garrett awoke on what be
. '' '' ' 4'
firmly believed was to be the morning
of bis triumph, tbe newspapers were
fall of tbe deal between the Pennsylva
nia and the P., W. and B.
- Inexpressibly mortified, chagrined be
yond measure, Robert . Garrett deter
mined in June, 1885, to build a line of
bis own to Philadelphia. First it was
necessary to get legislative permission
to enter Philadelphia. That seemed dif
ficult Tbe Pennsylvania had the pull
of all its locomotives with the legisla
ture of Pennsylvania and with the Phil
adelphia city councils. The Pennsylva
nia fought Garrett with all its strength.
But Robert Garrett, on bis mettle,
got permission for his road to enter
Philadelphia in 40 days. . It cost bim
$500,000. He paid his secret agents
well; he advertised liberally; be ex
pended large sums in fees to counsel.
There were those who insisted that
it should be spelled c-o-n-n-o-i:l.
Tbe Pennsylvania road, finding that
Robert Garrett could get into Philadel
phia, determined to patch up a truce
with him. They agreed to pay bim all
the liabilities be had incurred looking
to the construction of the road to Phil
adelphia. They made other agreements
that would have profited tbe B. and O. ,
and Robert Garrett decided not to build
the road. He estimated that the project
had already cost 92,000,000. Tbe Penn
sylvania was ready to pay that
It had really cost .$8,000, 000. The
Pennsylvania withdrew from the agree
ment Tbe game was not worth tbe
candle to them. Robert Garrett built his
road. It proved a fearful drain on tbe
B. and a The road floated f 17,000,000
of securities on tbe strength of that road
between Philadelphia and Baltimore.
But a large part of that money was di
verted to other parts of tbe B, and O.
system and was dissipated by peculiar
financiering.
The B. and O. found itself on the
brink of insolvency in October, 1887.
Drexel, Morgan 8c Co which is to say,
J. Pierpont Morgan advanced tbe mon
ey that delayed the day of reckoning.
But, before lending a cent, Mr. Morgan
demanded that Robert Garrett resign
the presidency.
Perhaps be had beard that Robert
Garrett, at that time, owned 140 pairs
of trousers. It is extremely improbable
that old John W. Garrett ever owned
two pairs of trousers at one time.
- Whether or not he knew about tbe
trousers, Mr. Morgan, surely knew -of
Robert Garrett's eccentricities. In
word, Robert Garrett's mind was un
balanced. . He was a paretic.
Samuel Spencer, who was vice presi
dent of tbe Baltimore and Ohio, became
president in Mr. Garrett's stead, Mr.
Spencer is of the firm of Drexel, Mor
gan & Co., and he is a fine railroad man.
He began to economize rapidly. He up
set all tbe traditions of the Garrett
management He smashed Baltimore's
gods. All the Garrett family, all Mary
land, rose in protest " - ;
Miss Mary Garrett, who,-of course,
inherited a great fortune from ber fa
ther, old John W., put ber band in ber
pocket. She loyally paid off a large part
of the road's obligations to Drexel, Mor
gan & Co. Then Samuel Spencer had to
go. Then came Charles F. Mayer as
president His was an extravagant ad
ministration. During it the once pros
perous railroad steadily sunk deeper and
deeper in the mire of floating debt, bad
bookkeeping and the payment of un
earned dividends.
And it is said Stephen Little, the ex
pert accountant who went to Baltimore
to examine tbe Baltimore and Ohios
books, fonnd the books doctored. There
are hints of journal entries that bear the
initials of tbe officer requiring them to
be made, thus to relieve the accountant
of the responsibility. " -
Enhancement of the market prices of
securities is made on the books to appear
as income, and no change was made
when ' the value of tbe securities again
declined. It is understood, too, that Mr.
Little fonnd 150 engines laid up, use
less for want of repairs. .
John K. Cowen, who resigned his
seat in congress' to become tbe Balti
more and Ohio's president, is now made
a receiver of the property for the United
States courts. He will continue to oper:
ate tne raiiroaa mucn astnougn notning
had happened, but the creditors of the
company will be told when they press
their claims: "You can do nothing. This
company is in the hands of tbe courts."

her imperial highness had changed her

advice of the Marquise de la Ferronay,
an old friend of the family. : Her lady

"Where can she be seen?" "According
to this morning's paper," replied tbe

ALL CHICAGO KNOWS HIM.
W. W. Watson. Leading Real' Estate Man, Restored to
Health bv Paine's Celery Compound.
Chicago, May 25. Mr. W. W. Wat
ion's reputation throughout tbe West
for unerring judgment in the valuation
of land has made him foremost among
the most conservative, careful class of
investors in Chicago.
Unlike many bard driven business
men, the owner of "Alpine Heights."
that splendid suburb of Chicago, has
not neglected his health on account of
his exacting business. The following
anrequested statement from Mr. Wat
son shows how consistent with bis life
long, careful, conscientious and success
ful business habits has been hia atten
tion to getting well. He states in tbe
Times-Herald:
"Upon the recommendation of a
friend, I used Paine's celery compound
for headaches, constipation, indigestion
and loss of sleep, and found it all it
was recommended to be. I suffer no-
more from headaches, sleep soundly at
night, and am now in perfect health.
This is the only medicine that I bave
ever taken for these complaints, which
has benefited me at all.
" W. "W WATSON, 225 Dearborn st"
Bnsy men and women are apt to
think there is always time to get well
The fact that only one person in a hun
dred dies of old age shows how reck- .
lessly men and women postpone at-J
tending to their health and allow it to
go to pieces while they devote them
selves heart and soul to affairs that are
trifling in comparison. Wives and
mothers have no greater duty than to
see that those dear to them do not be
come so absorbed in the work of provid
ing for the household as to lose their
health and shorte their days,
i No more thoughtful step could be
taken during the spring days that are
now here than to urge such tired and
often irritable home providers to take
Paine's celery compound. Tbete are
thousands of homes where overwork has
- Ornaments In India. .
In India, for the mass of the people,
tbe purchase of ornaments is almost the
one form of indulgence to which a man
who has made a little money treats him
self. Ordinarily the man who has saved
a few rupees does not change the nature
of his food or tbe style of his clothing,
nor does he invest in articles of furni
ture. What he does if he is of a cautious
and saving nature is to put his rupees
in a hiding place, but if be is inclined
for show be indulges his fancy by put
ting gold or -silver ornaments on the per
son i, of his wife and children.
These ornaments are the very last
things to be parted with on a reverse of
fortune, and even in tbe lowest social
depths they are not put on the market
until the last piece of coined money has
vanished and no household utensils of
brass or copper are left with which to
obtain a coin. '
