Big Prices at an Auction of CABTORTA. COWARDLY CONDUCTOR. | Permitted Negro to Drive Wo- man, Baby and Baggage From Car Seat. Negroesare more numerous upand down the M., K. & T. than alongany other railroad in the state. It isnot surprising that Senator Majore, of Howard county, should have intro- duced a “Jim Crow” car bill when such incidents as this, told by the Sedalia Capitol are common {n that locality: “An iucident occurred Thursday morning on a Katy train between Beaman and Sedalia that has arous- ed the indignation of those who have heard the story. Thursday morn- {og Mrs. Will Evans, of near Beaman, boarded the train for a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.C Miner, in Sedalla. Mrs. Evans had besides her grips and traveling paraphernalia her baby daughter, Henrietta, in her arme. There were few vacant seats in the coach, and Mrs. Evans sat down ina seat where @ sult case stood on the floor. She had been sitting there but afew minutes when a burley negro came down the alsle and paused lean- ing against her seat. “Thisls my seat,”’ he sald. “Didn't you see my sult case there?” The little matron attempted to argue the matter, She had her baby \in her arms and her baggage nicely disposed {n the seat. There muss be other seats in the train; surely he could find another. But the negro was obdurate. “This is my seat; you will have to hunt another,” he persisted. The conductor etood by in silence and nota man among the passengers sald a word. Mrs, Evans gathered up her grips and wraps and with her baby in her arms and burdened with the baggage sought another seat. She was indignant when she told the story and her family aud friends were even more indignant than she, Japs in Sanguinary Fight With Formosa Head Hunters. Victoria, B.

JUDGE SWAYNE, ONCE TRIED BY U. S. SEN- ATE, PASSES AWAY. Federal Jurist, Principal in Fa- mous Impeachment Pro- ceedings Acquitted. Philadelphia, July 8.—Judge Char- les Swayne, of the United States Court for she Northern District of Florida, died at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital here of com plicated kidney troutle. Judge swayne’s name became fa- miliar to the public through an at- tempt to impeach him for “high crime and misdemeanors.” His trial took place in the United States Senate towards the close of the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress. It lasted six weeks and wie the first impeachment proceedings in that body since the trial of Secretary of War Belknap under the Grant ad- ministration. That specific charges were that Swayne did not reside in bis district; that he made excessive charges against the Government forexpenses; that he used his position to extort favors from railroad companies and that he sat in a case in Florida in which his wife was personally inter- ested. The trial resulted tn his acquittal by @ vote which was almost strictly along party lines, IT's WORTH REMEMBERING, That gossips never secure “perma nent jobs.” That love may be ever so great, but must also be wise to grow. That happiness is found only when you look within, not without. That a fool is never so foollsh but that he may teach another fool some- thing. That to be poor without losing self: respect or a sense of enjoyment is a! fine art. That kindness of any true sort must be expressed in terms of the recipient, not of the donor, That friendship is genuine may in- variably be recognized in that it is neither jealous nor selfish. That capability marks some men, and importance others, but that indis- pensability attaches to none. That indolence among the rich is more to be condemned than ignorance among the poor, The rich know bet ter. That intellectual worth is most clearly shown in the complete and ac- curate knowledge of one’s own abili- ties. That mediocrity, provided it be per- severing, accomplishes more than fit- ful talent. Hares and tortoises still run races.—Suceess. ALL TRUE. Best part of a bargain is the gain. If a man is a loafer he has but lit-| — RIN mylar eccneyt ay np ys laa M tle to live for. Find fault with your friends and it will make them faultier. Instead of sending a friend on a fool’s errand, go yourself. After a man has proposed he is sometimes disposed to renege. It’s an easy matter for a doctor to relieve a patient—of his money. When a sour-tempered woman talks we are reminded of pickled tongue. After inducing a man to make a fool of himself a woman gives him the laugh. He is a mean man who will let a woman marry him for his money when he hasn’t any. Some men seem to think that bor- rowed money and umbrellas are in the same class. Everybody wants something for nothing, but few people are satisfied with what they get that way. WORDS OF THE WISE.
