S6o. i EXjCXTXNO AUTO RIDE 'CHICAGO, Mar. 10.-A despatch to the Tribune from Saginaw, Mich., tayi: Fifty miles in an automobile over honey combed and melting let that threatened to give way every foot of the lait IS miles, wai the trilling ex perience of Edward Dean Saginaw and John Milwlse, an old time pilot of Sebewalng who made a seven-hour trip from the latter place over Sagi naw Bay and up the river to thii city. Leaving , Sebewalng In twelve horiepower machine, the traveler! had exhilarating iport for 20 miles. Then they became lost and but for a compass which the old pilot found In hit pocket there ii no telling where they would haye landed. They were out of night of nd and many miles out on the bay. ' They encountered numeroua Ice jami and mow drifts twenty feet high. Frequently they bridged chasms with frail planks, and often theie cracks and drift compelled wide detoura. "The real excitement, however, "said pean." came after we left Bay City, up the bay. The honeycombed Ice cracked all the way. There was open water on both aides of us much of the way and we were powerless to reach short" For Dlaeases of the Bkln, Nearly all diseases of the skin such as ecaema, tetter, aalt rheum and bar bers' Itch, art characterized by an in tense itching and smarting, which often makes lift burden and dis turbs tleep and rest Quick relief may be had by applying Chamber lain'i Salvt. It allays tht itching and smarting almost Instantly. Many cases have been cured by its use. For sale by Frank Hart and leading drug I ate. , 4 A HARD FALL. mmmmm Jacob H. Schiff, on the way to Egypt on the Caronia, was criticising, in the smoker room, the tenor singing of a young man who gave, alt by him elf, a little musicale every night after dinner. "With a voice like that," said Mr. Schiff, "one is apt to meet with ex traordinary experiences. I have a friend with a voice like that, young broker. For his Christmas holidays my friend made a little tour of Eng land, visiting many quaint old houses, many picturesque churches. "One Sunday he went to church In Salem or Gloucester or some such place, and lifted up his tenor voice in the hymns and responses with a favor and force that made the congregation atare. , "Pleased with the attention he at tracted, my friend threw back his head, puffed out his chest, and, aban doning the last vestige of restraint, sang with all his might and main, A high note was approaching. He col lected his powers to meet it. They were staring now well, he would give them something to stare for. What a glorious thing this congrega tional singing was. ' He must have more of it. Every Sunday, on jhls return to New York ! A heavy hand fell on his shoulder. He. turned with a start, and saw the sexton, an old, bent man, glowering at him. ' ' 1 " 'Here, young feller, hold yer noise,' said the sexton, In a wheezy whisper audible all over the building. 'We pay people to do that here.' " A GREAT SMOKER. A Fittsburg millionalr, said at a dinner: ' "I lunched with Sir Thomas Lip ton at the Ghezireh Falace in Cairo just before he set out for his tea plantation In Ceylon; where the ex Empress Eugenie was to visit him. "When tht coffee and Tarragone came on, I opened my gold cast and offered Sir Thomas a beautiful aro matic cigarette fresh from the fact ory down the street. " 'No, thank you,' said he. 'I am, with one possible exception, the big gest smoker in the world, butl never smoke cigars nor cigarettes.' " 'What do you smoker said I. " 'Bacon,' he answered." NOT AN IDEAL JUROR. During the selection of the Thaw jurors, Martin W. Littleton, the bril liant defender of the young million air told at luncheon a story about a juryman, "It was In the far West," he said, "in the distant days before our west ern percentage of illiteracy had fallen to be the lowest in the world. "A juror had been selected in a murder trial, and they were about to swear him In, when the judges, to be on the safe side, bethought himself to say to the man: " 'I trust, sir, you fully understand the duties and responsibilities of a hirer? " 'I'm a plain chap, and I believe in being fair to all, I don't go by what the lawyers say, and I don't go by what the judge says; but I look care fully at the prisoner in the dock, and I say to myself: 'He must have done something or he wouldn't be here;" so 1 bring 'em ail in guilty.' " GETTING ROUND IT. A Chicago physician said the other day of the late Dr. Nicholas Senn, the celebrated surgeon: "I studied under Dr. Senn when he was professor of surgery at Rush Medical College. I remember how, one day, he asked me a question that I did not know, and, in order to hide my ignorance, I gave an ambiguous answer. - , "Dr. Senn smiled. " He said I reminded him of a schoolboy, taking a written examina tion in history, came to the question: " 'Which was the greatest general, Cnesar or Hannibal?' ''The boy answered this question as follows: - " 'If we consider who Caesar and Hannibal were, and ask ourselves which of them was the greatest, we must unhesitatingly answer in the af firmative.
