FOUNDER OF TOMBSTONE.
Remarkable Career of a St. Louis Boy
Who Became a Miner. '
Edward Sehefflein, who was found
dead the other day in his miner's shack
in Oregon, had an eventful life, says the
Si. Louis Eepublic.
"I remember well," said William II.
Soothe, an old-time mine promoter, to
a reporter, "when he opened up the
Contention mine at Tomlbstone and gave
the place its queer name. I ought to
remember it, for it was I who grub
staked Shefflein on that prospecting1
tour. He bunkoed me out of all but a
Jew hundreds.
"The stories that have been told about
Schefflein's daring in penetrating into
the Apache country and particularly
into the Cochise mountains, where he
found the Contention lode, are not much
exaggerated. It was a pretty ticklish
thing to do down there. Old Cochise
had been 'pacified,' it is true, but he
had a lively son, Natchez, and a valiant
nephew, Geronimo, and they were the
active young leaders of about as 'pizen'
s set of Indians as ever swung a Win
chester. -
t'So when Ed Sehefflein struck the
Contention lode and called the place
Tombstone,' we thought it a happy play
of Ed's mind.
"The Contention proved to be a gTeat
mine. ; It was enormously rich insil
ver, but it was discovered just about the
' time every condition arose to put down
the price of that metal. However, it
yielded an amount away into the mil
lions. The Scheffleins sold half of the
mine to Walter Dean, of San .Francisco;'
Dick Gird, of Los Angeles; F. A. Tritte,
then governor of the territory, and
others in San Francisco for $500,000.
"Of course the Sheffleins lost most of
their fortune. They couldn't help it.
Ed was a restless fellow. He wasn't dis
sipated, nor did he gamble or have other
expensive vices, but he was generous
and a plunger on his luck. He wouldn't
settle down and do business on busi
ness principles."
. CRUSHED THE CONDUCTOR.
A PssHcnarer'n Quick. Wit Roundly Re
proved Hi Crnffness..
Tire passengers on a crowded cable
car the other day were immensely
"tickled" at the discomfiture of a con
ductor, who' was both rude and dis
obliging, but was cleverly circumvent
ed, says the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser. -
The conductor handed five pennies in
change to a well-dressed woman. SJie
requested that a nickel be given to her
- instead, as she had no purse and the
pennies would probably be lost. Gentle
as was the request, it irritated the con
ductor, and he said : "No, I have to take
pennies and you can do the same. They
will buy just as much as a nickel." The
woman remained silent and the con
ductor proceeded down the oar.
At that moment a man who was about
to pay his fare touched the lady's arm
end handed her a nickel, taking in ex
change the pennies, which he immedi
ately gave to the conductor. It was all
done quietly and quickly, yet many saw
the play, and all who did smiled with
satisfaction. - . - -"-
The three-year-old boy of J. A. John
eon, of Lynn Center. 111., is eutect to
attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says
Le is surd that the timely use of Cham
berlain's Couh . Remedy, during a se
vere attack, saved his toy's life. Hi is
in the drug husiness, a member of the
firm of Johnson Bros., ot that place, and
they handle a great many patent rue-1-icines
for throat and !an disease. He
had all these to select from, and skilled
physicians to answer to his call, but se
lected this remedy for use in his own
borne at a time when his toy's life was
.in danger, because he knew it to be su
perior to any other, and famous the
country over tor its cures of the croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best telling
cough medicine they handle, and that
gives splendid satisfaction in all cases.

RAILWAY MURDERS.
Dangers of Isolated Carriages in
England.
Offer Opportunities for Thieves ssd
Mnrderera ' to Commit Crime
The American System
Is Preferred.
The arguments in favor of the "cor
ridor" or "American" system of travel
ing for general railway passengers in
England every day grows more em
phatic -and incontrovertible The
newspapers contain almost daily ac
counts of awful murders or attempts to
murder by jjersoiis usually unknown,
who have made good their escape from
the little isolated carriages and left
their victims to be .'discovered" itk
some casual fashion. Only a few days
ago , another horrible trapredy, that
might have occurred to anybody in the
same situation, took place during the
short railway ride of not more than 20
minutes between Houpslow station and
the great Londpn terminus, Waterloo.
A woman, a barmaid from a tavern
close to the Hounslc.w station, got into
a carriage alone, and her body was
found on the arrival of the train at Wa
terloo stuffed tinder a seat, the head
horribly battered. She had started out
to meet her lover, and in the train must
have been attacked and murdered by
some brute, whose identity urj to the
present is undiscovered.
The horror of the thing must appeal
strongly to every woman who has ever
been in London or is acquainted with
the English method of travel. The up
permost object of the ordinary man or
woman who travels a long or short dis
tance is to get into a carriage alone. In
the small, cramped compartments you
feel in too close quarters to waut to be
bothered with strangers, ' therefore
you naturally do your best to get into
a carriage where you won't be. "wor
ried." But recent dreadful events have
made people nervous of the lonely car
riage. Women shun it. because
of awful stories of . violence and
deaths that have come unawares
upon some poor aoul who has
set out in good health and spirits, while
men shun it because of the stories of
blackmail and slander of which unprin
cipled women frequently make them
the victims. The days of the old Eng
lish "compartments" are, indeed, num
bered, and it will not be long, I am sure,
before "American trains" are the rule
on every line in the kingdom.
Traveling in England is very expen
sive work, at any rate. The fares be
ing divided into three classes, the very
poorest and meanest accommodations,
which they call "third class," cost about
the same rate which in Ameriea is
charged for the ordinary train. If you
have a third-class ticket, however, you
cannot buy a Pullman car ticket. To
be entitled to purchase superior ac
commodation of this kind you must pri
marily invest in a "first-class" ticket,
which costs three times the amount of
a third-class, and not until then are you
allowed to buy Pullman car accommo
dations. If you are going for a long
journey (or as long a one as you can
take in England) this makes the cost
about four times the amount you would
pay if you did not have a luxurious soul
and long for springs and cushions.
I hear, however, that to meet the de
mand of the vast body of Americans
who are coming- over here for the
"diamond jubilee," there is to be a
complete bouleversement of the train
service in Great Britain, and cars such
as we ace accustomed to in the states,
and prices to match, will be one of the
white stones marking the latter glo
ries of her.majcsty's sixtieth year upon
the throne. Chicago Times-Herald.
DANGERS OF NERVES.
Br Which the Women of To-Dnr Are
Beset. .
It used to be a matter of faith, years
ago, that we possessed nerves, for we
were unconscious of them. Nowadays,
however, they have become of most
vital importance; they are, so to speak,"
"household pets." It seems that "tem
per" has gone out of fashion; so far, at.
least, as we are concerned, and, though
it is possible to admit that our neigh
bors may suffer from attacks of temper,
we never do no, we have "nerves.V
There is a sort of necessary dignity
about the possession of nerves, though
we owu they cause us trouble. :We
speak in quite a reproachful way of "a
woman who has no nerves," just as if
this meant the same as that she is with
out refinement and tenderness.
.. Nerves.are, however, dangerous pets,
for they are apt to become our masters.
Indeed, to nerves are ascribed the un
wholesome craving for excitement, the
morphia habit and the excessive use
of stimulants among women, as well as
a variety of other evils. .Nerves, "no
doubt, would be kept in check better if.
only we were simpler. Japanese wom
en ire charmingly serene . and good
tempered, and their freedom from nerv
ous troubles may be largely ascribed
to the absence of small worries in mat
ters domestic. . They are saved worries
about dress, for the fashion of their
costume never varies, and the absence
of draperies and crowds of ornaments
economizes money and greatly saves
labor, as any housekeeper could tell
who knows the fret and irritation of
keeping these things pretty and free
from dust in an "under servanted" es
tablishment. Boston Budget.
