In thla campaign of bard kuiH'ka there are aeveral newa papera that are trying t be "perfect ladlca." There la a wave of feminine horror overspreading the land at the announce ment by Jeamiette I.

The accidental killing of young C ro ller on the stage the other day by the use of a real dagger Instead of the usual property pig sticker baa recalled sun dry mishaps of like character. But nothing approaches one of the earliest recorded real atage tragedlea. It oc- urred In Stockholm In the sixteenth eiitury. The actor who played Ioti- gin us In "The Mystery of the Passion" ntered so Into the spirit of his role that be actually thrust the spev Into the aide of the actor personating Christ on the Cross and killed him. Here the play stopjied, but It served aa merely a prologue for the real tragedy which followed. The King, who waa In the audience, waa so Incensed at the actor I that be leaped on the atage and with n stroke of his sword lopped off the of fender's head. But tbls was only the second act. The audience concluded to take a hand Id the performance. Tho actor's real bad pleased them, even If be bud been so carried away as to kill In reality, and they were so angry at One of the concerns allied with the National Harrow Company or trust has Jioen violating Its tins; contract lu re gard to selling barrows at a fixed price. Appealing to the courts a United Htates circuit Judge at Philadelphia declines to uphold the validity of the contract on the ground that the combination la Illegal. The country need more of such Judgment. The farmers are untitled to buy harrows as they must sell wheat t competitive prices. J ' Kllcslau ghutsmakcrs are making pos sible the realization of an achltectural (.ream. They are producing substan tia! glass bricks for building purposes.

It does not require a very lively Imagination to perceive that many pleasing effects niny be produced when glass Is used as tbe material of dwellings and other structures. Be tide, people who live In glass houses will not be struck by lightning. A Minneapolis man fell In love with a Chicago woman after reading In a newspaper symposium her Ideas of what a husband should l. The edit ors of the city are already expecting to put In an extra department for the receipt of mall to accommodate tho other Chicago ladles who havo a few Ideas of their own about prospective husbands. It is eveu feared that some poor, discouraged little maiden on the uuuientlouablo side of HO may even be driven to the extreme of saying that ber Ideal man may smoke lu the parlor and come to the breakfast table lu his shirt sleeves If only be will hurry up to provide the parlor and the break fast table before the winter sets lu. The statistician has been gelling lu bis work again. This time It Is on the expenditure of force lu pliino playing, A plaulHslmo pressure on a key equals a weight of three ounces. On this basis It Is calculated that to render the Inst Etude by Chopin lu 0 minor reipilivs an aggregate pressure of ll,7S0 pounds. Without stopping to moralize or statls- tlcate on what this force would ac rouipllsh If directed Into some lucrative channel, It may bo suggested that now that the piano liaiigera who disturb the pence nightly and render night hideous understand that they are real ly doing hnrd If useless Inlnir, they may voluntarily desltit. In this happy event the statistician, who Is usually a bore. may be said to have struck tho proper keynote. i An explauatlou of the operation of railway air brake recently published brings It within the comprehension of the most Inexpert: "I'nder each of the cars la a rubber pipe connected with au ulr compressor on the engine. This pipe leads to and supplies au air reser voir under each car. These reservoirs are loaded from the engine with com pressed air to the amount of seventy pounds each. The pressure of this air keeps opeu the brakes, and as long as the compressed air remains lu tho reser voirs under tne cars tne brakes are open. By turning the lever on the en gine the ooinpreaaod air Is released, and aa It Is released the brakes on each of the cars clone automatically, pressing against the wheels and practically lock lug them. As soon as tho trulu Is brought to a full atop, of which tbe panting of the compressed air as It es capes from under the cars gives notice, the reservoirs are again tilled by a turn of the lever on the engine, and thla tills the reservoirs under tho cars, and there by automatically releases all the brakes at once." There have been many other devices for the safeguarding of the lives of travelers, but It Is doubtful If the Interests of safety have been pro- united more extensively by any other oue agency. Tbe revivals and camp meetings of tbe season Just closed have produced a few quite extraordinary episodes. It has long been a standard Joke with the ungodly that at experience meetings andsuchllke the most deadly trnnnnrvs slons coufessed to have been such harmless ones as playing a friendly game of euchre or betug tempted to at tend a theater or circus. But this sum niers camp meeting season has pro duced at least three courerts of quite new speclea, men who confessed real crime snd delivered themselves to Jus tlce. In Texas a convert confessed that be was a counterfeiter aud proceeded to "turn up" both tbe outfit and hla confederates to tha authorities. At an THE ANGEL OF EVENTIDE.

(meaning Bridge Jumper), has once more turned bene factor to tbe human race, and In the most surprising manner. Mr. Ilodle achieved fame literally at a leap from the Brooklyn bridge. That rendered hlin eligible as a dime museum attrac tion, and finally be Is alleged to have become an actor. With hla accumu lated apniiduliks he opened a saloon on the Bowery. Mr. Brodle has dis tinguished himself by various eccen tricities since. Once be offered free meula for all comers who were out of work, and when the Huuday law was first enforced he kept hla saloon open and gave away soft drinks rather than that his friends should go thirsty, lie really gare the drinks away. There was no selling of saudwlches for a blind, or any other attempt to evade the law. But Mr. Brodle's crowning philanthropy Is In establishing a Jag cure In the rear of his Justly celebrated saloon. It Is a beautiful arrangement. A man can blow hlinelf on a week's drunk lu front, and when he Is broke be can go to the rear and hnve his thirst permanently cured. Mr. Brodle rea sons philosophically. He has made moat of his money out of drinking men, and the coat of hiring a Jag cure doc tor la only returning the unfortunates part of their money. Besides, be fig ures It out that a man who baa got to the stage where the Jag cure la neces sary Is a source of mighty little profit to the saloonkeeper or anybody else. A FUNNY WOULD. Vernon and I were sitting in the rluh. It was late. The lust 'bus had rolled home and Piccadilly was almost de serted save for an occasional cab that drove by with a flash of lamps and tinkling of bells.

I came to tell you that you've got to share this with me. We'll have a real good time with this uiomy. It's no use slinking your head, you must Join me. And I'll tell you what I'm going to do with It. I'm not going to Invest It or speculate with It or do any of tliut nonsense. I'm going to spend It. I've had a ghastly, awful time of It for the Inst six years; I've lived among people you'd scarcely care to touch; I've been an outenst. a scum of the earth, a sewer rat.

"Old chap.' he said solemnly, "1 do mean It. 1 am going to live for tiro vears, and 1 swear before Cod that on this day Ave years hence I shall put a bullet into my brain. I swear it.' " Veruou broke off and looked at the clock. "I say, lt'a getting very late," he said; "I'll finish thla yarn another day. "No, no; go on," 1 said. "Well, Jim got his money all right. banked It and started to live. Ho went lu for every kind of luxury, yachted, raced, shot did everything n man with f '..'O.liOO a year can do.

He was always about with her. loaded her with presents, and I grad ually saw loss and less of him. One day, however, he wrote to me and nsk ed me to come around to bis rooms, a he had something special he wanted to say to mo. 1 wont and found him lu a very excited state, pnelng up and down his room like a madman.

The boy readily gave the desired promise. On his return be was enthu siastic over the pleasures he had eu-Joyed. "Aud I didn't mind canoeing a bit, pn," he said, addivsslng his careful parent with a beaming smile. "The boys taught me how to swim, and the only time they used the canoe waa the last day, to go over to the other shore. Hut I remembered my promise, nnd I wasn't going to break It the last day. So I swam across." Chicago News. The Cathedral of Seville. We knew already how Impressive the cathedral could be nt ordinary times.
