SeeDateateetenteatettergeedratecied me The First Promotion Has Come to the Placky Young Washingtonian Who Gave Up Shoulder Straps. Several months ago the unusual an- rouncement was made that a lieutenant of the army had resigned in order to become a brakeman on a railroad, and some folks werdered what the world was coming to, anyhow. The friends of Lieut. Charles Hire, formerly of this city, and a graduate of the Washington High School, who was the cause cf all this bewilderment, have since been marveling to know his reasons for such an action, and to learn how he has been progressing in his new calling. Pri- vate advices received here from him indi- cate that he has enjoyed the experiment far more than might have been expected, and fs today well on the-up grade, which he hcped and expected to reach before long. He did not relinquish the comfortable pay and easy duty of an army officer for the hard and dirty work of a railroad brake- a strong-legged jrump and as uncertain as the marble in a roulette wheel. Indiana was the first state which ever recognized the possibilities of mutual profit between suitors and residents in lax divorce laws, aud for a long time had a monopoly of the kusiness. Then the laws of Illinois were so amended that the mar- riage bonds could be more easily untied, and Chicago had quite a boom. Its advan- tages as a place of residence during the year of waiting were quickly recognized. But lately the Dakotas, Wyoming and Ok- lahoma offered inducements no person seek- ing a divorce cculd resist. But it is one thing to secure trade and another to hold it, and so much fault has been found with the divorce goods oftered on western bar- gain counters that their custom is desert- ing them, and now Indiana’s trade is look- ing up again, with every prospect of an in- creasing and well-maintained boom. With twenty-nine divorces on record in Parke county at the present date, the year 1595 will outstrip all its predecessors be- fore it gives up the fight on December 31.

He had several narrow escapes, on one occasion being on a train that was breken in three parts by defective cou- plers, and that ran wild down the road for several miles. He threw aside his army ideas and manners in order to become one of the kind of men in whose company he had placed himself, and became very popu- lar with them. He associated with them at all times, and, as he said to a Star reporter on a recent trip to this city, he learned that they were fine, manly fellows, who were ready to help him master the technical details of the brakeman’s business, and to become ac- quainied with other phases of railroad werk. It would seem as though Mr. Hine’s xperiences through this part of his career ald furnish him material for a most ex- citing romanc to be written some day when, as a great railroad magnate, he has the time and oppor tunity to write his auto- biography. A Find for the “Eig Four.” He had entered the service of the Big Four road, which is the popular name for the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago ard St. Louis raliroad system. Mr. Hine hoped, of cou to earn advancement, but he did not expect such good fortune as that which has befallen him. After a few weeks or the Indianapolis run, he was placed on a loral” freight in the same region, and ys given a taste of the har: kind ot vr that can fall to the lot of the brake- In addition to his train duty, he had e stevedcre and freight handier, man- a truck every two miles at some way- e station to “tote” apples and potato and other farm produce and the smalt boxes that pass back and forth th farming districts. Later he was # run into Kentucky, and this was the last of his experience asa brakeman. The First Lift. ‘A few days ago he was summoned to the geveral offices in Cinemnati and informed that his work had been so excellent and faithful that the e-mpsny had decided to permit him to skip the position of fre: conductor, which is only a slight d greater in importance than that of brak man. One reason for this decision w. at Mr. Hine had in his work gone ahead é s as brake-twit {and had learned the details of other par of the railroad business, and had made him- self qu.te a master of the freight busine: ‘There was an important yard, said the of- fic'al of the road who had summoned Mn Hine to him, up in Indlana where the com- pany would like to Increase its business. It was a manufacturing place, and compett ten between the Big Four and another great trunk line was so sharp that the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis road desired to place in charge at that point an active man who would make busi- ress for the company. Accordingly, the rest of yardmaster at Anderson, Ind., was Brered Mr. Hine and accepted. He came home to visit his parents at Vienna, Va., for a few days and then went to his new post. He now tes to a friend tment has been in this y that the appo: formally confirmed, and he has taken hold ot at Anderson, which is thirty- five miles e@st of Indianapolis, and is the largest-manufacturing town in the wonder- ful natural gas belt of Indiana. It has 3 population of 20,000, and the manufacto: there are so numerous that the heavy freignting to and from Anderson requires seven switch engines to do the yard work. The Big Four road has five of these. Hard Work Has No Terrors. It is Mr, Hine’s theory that the ratlroad business will Increase In importance the growth of the country, and that one of the most marked advances in this Ene will be the development of the great terminals. If this be true, the yardmaster becomes a more and more necessary and important functionary in the great railroad system. His duty requires him not only to handle engines and men intelligently, but he must secure and maintain pleasant business re- lations with the shippers of the surround- ing country in order to make -business for the road which he represents. At such a place as Anderson, where there is competi- tion for the freight business, this duty is exceptionally important. Mr. Hine writes that he realizes it is a big undertaking that confronts him, and one that will tax his capacity, but he says: “If hard work will do it, I'll get there. —_—— TO STICK TO HER LIE. © Met Friends tn New York and Used, as She Thought, Diplomacy. From the New York Herald. “If you tell a iie you must stick to it.” This is old, and te some extent true, as a woman of my acquaintance proved re- cently. She is stopping at a hotel here, and ‘in- tends to return shortly to her home in Utica, While out shopping the other day she met a mother and daughter from her own town whom she doesn’t know so very well or like so very much. But they fell upon her neck. “Oh, Mrs. J—,” cried the elder, “if this isn't just glorious. To think of our meet- ing you here. We don’t know a soul in New York, and I know you'll take us ‘round and show us the sights.” Well, my friend just made up her mind that she'd do nothing of the sort. She wanted what little time she had for her- self. So she replied—it was wrong, of course: “I'm awfully sorry, but I'm living at New Rochelle, and have just run in for some shopping. I'm going out again this after- noon."" “Oh, isi you take “The 3 o'clock. “Well, we'll go up and see you o!

Trom the Chivago Chronicle. One interesting feat or trick of a French billiard expert is placing two balls in a corner near the cushion. From the upper rail he puts a small board beveled off on one end to fit the cloth. On the highest end of this hoard he fixes a ball and has a man stand ready to receive this in his hat. Then, with a combination masse or draw, he causes the chj ball to roll up the in- cline and carom with the ball, thus drop- ping it in the hat. Another exhibit is made by placing a wide-mouthed decanter on the table and substituting a ball for the cork. Ther by a quick draw, he makes the object ball jump up and knock it off the bottle as neatly as you may wish, and, what !s more, does it as many times in succession as you care to have him. has no choice but to give them, and place the case on the court docket ready for a hearing. Next a notice is taken to the printing office of a paper of general circu- lation, and the editor is asked to print it four successive times. When court con- venes the attorney asks the same editor for a statement sho s the notice to have been printed four times, v. hich stacement is given the court Here the dead-beating proce: comes in again, and the papers have inaugurated a crusade against the practice, claiming that not one out of four of these divorce com- publication of hereafter all will plainants ever pay for t the notice.

Elevated Sidewalk Be Built : State Street, Chicago. From the ¢ on aso Times-Meratd, William E. Hale is at the head of a move- ment of State street property owners to build an elevated sidewalk on both sides of t thoroughfare, between Lake and Madi- treets, with the purpose of connecting the center of the great shopping district with the Union eleyated loop. Besides the levate alks traversing these three S on State street, a spur will be built leading off from the main walk at Wash- ington street and extending one block east to Wabash avenue, where connection will le with the Wabash avenue branch of the elevated loop, The sidewalk, as projected, will be built a level with the second floor of the te street business houses, and will be ten or twelve feet in width, It will be en- tirely inclosed with glass walls and roof, trians making of it will not to s dis- movable di before the yeur of the world's fair, to be a graceful but substantial and anent structure, extending along over 2 curb at a height of eightcen or twenty feet. ‘he support for the sidewaiks will consist of a single row of iron posts set at the curb, so that they will not interfere with traflic, either on the street or on the sur- valks. The width being at the mate twelve feet, six feet on side of the curb, there will he plenty of room between the walk and the buildings. its coastruction being of glass, it will not be Hable to the objection that it will shut out light from the adjoining business houses. Each State street store that desires it will have a passageway built to connect its sec- end floor witn the elevated sidewalk. It is beld by the projectors that the new insti- tution will well-nigh double the value of State street frontage, and that will fur- nish an invaluable boon to ladies who come into the downtown district to “shop” in the big stores. They will be able to reach the State street shops from almost any part of the c and do their buying without hay- ing to wade through snow or slush or to face any fierce winds from the time they enter the elevated train until they leave it on_the return trip. There are to be no stairways from the walks except through the stores. Shoppers will, of course, be able to make use of the elevators if they wish in descending. — Fickle Fam From the Indianapolis Journal. “It ain't the pioneers in a great cause that gits the fame,” said the pessimistic gentleman with the long whiskers. 0?” said the man with the idle mind. ‘Naw.

From the Louisville Court Journal, Alice Moore, a colored woman, who lives in the alley between Ist and Brook, and Broad- way and Jacob, was attacked by a rat early terday, and bears the marks of the at- tack. She was awakened about 4 o'clock by a creeping sensation. She raised herself_in bed and heard the squeal of a rat. She struck out in the dark and felt the animal jump at her and fasten its teeth in one of her arms. She struck a vicious blow at the rat and succeeded in knocking it off. The rat went at her again and caught her by the throat. She succeeded in knocking it off the second time. At the third jump the rat fas- tened its teeth in her ear and held on persist- ently. The woman, who had been fighting the rat in silence all this time, began to scream, She jumped out of bed with the rat still holding to her ear. As she ran frantic- ally about the room she struck time and again at the vicious little rodent, but was afraid to take hold and pull it off, for fear of slitting her ear, The screams aroused her daughter, who jumped out of bed and lighted the lamp. She seized a pillow and struck at the animal, knocking it off. see A Clothespin Combine. From the Clevdand Pain Dealer.

I said, ‘I do not hear from my children, and you said I would get the rent from the Fort Worth property, and I have not a scratch to show.’ I said I would go to the children in Indianapolis, but be said, ‘No, not until you see Ben.’ He Said he was going to take Ben. to the states and get him to sign papers about the Fort Worth property and sell it. “For two or three days I did not see him, and then he came and told me he had :aken the children to Toronto. He said he had put heavy coats on them so they wouid not catch cold, and that they were perfectly happy. Holmes was known as Judson. He told me Ben. had been drinking and was sick, and asked me what I'd do if he should die. He said, ‘I have one gra marked for him.’ All my letters were given to Holmes to mail. He sent them to Chicago, where Pat Quinlan, the janitor af the ‘Castle,’ took care to get them to my husband.” “Have you ever seen your husband he left St. Louis for Philadeiphia?” “I have never seen him since July 29, 1894, nor heard from him since August 24 I got the last letter in his own handwriting.

Scramble for the Honor of Interring a Georgian’s Corpse. From the Savannah News. Henry Jenkins, “colored, a well-to-do farmer in the northern part of Georgia, died recently and was duly buried. Jenkins was at the time of his death living with his second wife, his first, from whom he was divorced, living a few miles away. The first wife was not satisfied with the place of interment, and had Jenkins’ body taken up and reinterred at another church. About this time a secret order to which Jenkins had belonged decided that he should lie in its grounds, and, accordingly, raised the remains and had a funeral of its own. Both the wives were indignant at this interference, and for the fourth time the corpse was lifted. The first wife got it put in 2 wagon and kept it on the move to elude the second wife and the fraternal society. The whites of the district at this juncture interfered and buried the body for sanitary reasons, and announced that it must stay buried. since M.

Twenty Volcanic Peaks Belching Vol- umes of Smoke and Steam. / F.om the Sat Francisco Chronicle. ‘The revenue cutter Commodecre Perry re- turned yesterday from a northern sea, where she has been confronted every night for weeks by a gigantic line of fire. As Capt. Smith expresses it: “The devil's stok- ers have been stirring up the subterranean sea of flames that is supposed to lie thous- ands of feet under the Bering’s bed, and as a consequence fully twenty cf the forty voleanoes in the Aleutian chain are now active.’ The line of islands lying between the Bering sea and the Pacific ocean belong to the United States, and on them are prob- ably the only active volcanoes lying within American territory. Much has been writ- ten of Bogaslov Island, which has been throwing up a cloud of steam at times for years, but it was supposed that all the oth- er peaks on this singular line of islands were extinct craters only. Now, as far as the eye can reach from any point in the Bering sea adjacent or even at a distance from the famous seal islands, the rising smoke and steam can be seen in both directions. The eruption is general and so very lively that at night the airy columns take on the reflections of the fires deep in the earth beneath the craters. Nowhere else on the globe can such a sight be witnessed. According to Capt. Smith it is as wonderful as the fiery mysteries on Hawail. In the daytime only the white smoke or steam is visible. As dusk comes and dark- ness follows the wonder grows. The bright- er columns show up in the cold Alaskan night first, and as it gets darker other vivid curls of smoke are to be seen at greater distance. Sometimes, when the position of the observer is advantageous, a dozen or fifteen of these modern pillars of fire are in sight. It is thought that as the winter comes on the beauty of this strange scene will increase, but few will be the beholders then, for the chilly northern sea is deserted by the time November sets in. Even the whalers will he away from the nightly show of nature’s fireworks, for they are now seeking shelter in the coves and inlets off the arctic, hundreds of miles further north than these voleanoes. While the Perry was $ Bering, though, much of the time it was misty and foggy, and often, even at night, the view of the mighty escape valves was entirely obstructed by the haze. The show of subterranean force most noteworthy ever observed on American soil. As proof of the mighty power that is at work beneath the islands a neck of land has been forced up out of the sea between Bogaslov, and old Bogaslov and the two islands are now one. It is queer-looking land, one of the passes shown on the chart as connecting the Bering sea with the great- er ocean to the southward. The rocks in this neck are manifestly of volcanic o1 it black and smooth in surface, as if once melt- ed. “{ have my own theory about the ecrup- tion,” said Capt. Smith of the Perry, yes- terday. “I bel: there is a lake of fire far down in the earth that connects with the outlets in those volcanoes in the north and also with the voleanoes in Central Ameri I am told that in the Central Ame states the volcanoes are especially active just now. While there is no great eruption reported, there is steady activity, just such activ.ty as is observed on that chain of is- lands that I have been looking at all sum- mer. I believe that the whole lake of fire is now boiling and hotter than evtr, and that this state of great activity beneath the sur- face of the earth, perhaps many miles, is the cause of the smoke and steam in the north and at the same time of the clou of smoke and the flow of lava in the s¢ The Commodore Perry was guarding the sealing grounds and cruising after ting schooners in Bering sea. had what is termed the thirty-mile zo the Pribylov Islands and then the zone. In hunting for the v extensive spread of sea brought close to the Aleutian chain at many different points and had an excellent chance to observe the ange that has been going on. There y volcanoes en the line of islands, and Smith is sure 's the that at this time, it is not in the least ex- aggeration to say that half of them are smok'ng. -se0 A Hope Story. “Uncle John and the Rubies,” a story of great interest by Anthony Hope, will be published complete in Saturday's Star. IRON IN BUILDINGS. Can This Structural Material Be Pro= tected From Rust? From the Philadelphia Ledger. There was a very full attendance at the meeting of the Engineers’ Club on Satur- day evening last, the subject under discus- sion being “The Durability of Iron in Mod- ern Structure: Several of our most prominent constructing engineers, analyt- ical chemists, paint manufacturers and architects took part in the discussion. Within the last few years there has been a radical change in the construction of large buildings, steel taking the place of brick and stone in securing strength and rigidity of the structure. Great attention has been paid to the design of parts to secure a proper proportion of the stresses, but the vital part, the life of the structure, has been almost totally neglected. There are now to be seen on the streets of every large city buildings almost monumental in character, built to last for several genera- tions, witn an investment of capital which would require a long life to secure a safe return to the investor, and yet but little at- tention has been paid to protecting the col- umns which have to sustain the greatest weight. It was a question in the mind of one speaker of large experience whether any paint would ever be discovered that would be a permanent protection to iron. It should be the business of the engineer, therefore, to so construct the building that all the vital parts could be got at for in- spection and treatment. Under present methods the steel structure is encased in stone, brick or terra-cotta where it is quite certain to become damp and to rust, and where it is impossible to protect it from corrosive action of the element: One building in New York city was’ in- stanced where the builder, against the views af the architect, insisted upon put- ting a layer of paraffine between the steel structure and the outside walls to keep out the moisture, at an additional cost of $20,000. Experiment had shown that mois- ture could be driven through a stone or brick wall at least 3% feet thick. Where iron is used in a perfectly dry location it can be depended upon indefinitely. A com- munication to the club from a prominent architect stated that tron beams taken out of the Philadelphia Bank bulding, where they had been in service forty years, were in perfect condition. They had been so placed that they were not subjected to moisture. A leading manufacturer of structural iron stated that the cost of properly cleaning the face of the iron of the mill scale, so thet it would be perfectly bright and in proper cendition to receive a suitable paint, would add much to the cost, and it would be a question whether customers would pay for it. Several methods were in use, one to place the iron in pickling vats, another to clean the surface by a sand blast; still another, which he had seen in use in Europe, was to clean the iron with re- volving wire brushes and afterward paint it with revolving hair brushes, which would force the paint into all the inequalities of the surface. oo A Featherless Chicken. From the Rochester ‘Times. Edward Harscher of Pittsford, Pa., has a Plymouth Reck chicken about four months old, and, instead of having a coat of feath- ers, it is partly covered by something of a silky, downy appearance, from one to twa inches in length, and somewhat resembles the hair of an Angora goat. It is only part- ly covered by this strange covering, the back and other parts of the body being bare. —___-+ e+ ____ Gov. McKinicy Quits Smoking. From the Vittsburg Times 7 Abner McKinl New York attorney, and brother of Gov. William McKinley of Ohio, spent yesterday in Pittsburg on legal business. He said: “The greatest picce of news I know of, however, is not in the line of politics. My brother, Gov. McKinley, has actually quit smoking. His fondness for the weed was proverbial, wherever he is known, but he thinks the habit has had a had effect on his nervous system, and on that account gave it up, although the effort was almost superhuman. He exper'en os pangs yet when he meets a man 2 good cigar, or even an indifferent o.
