GERA, MILHAl mh21-1815, Porcupine Doesn't Throw His Quills. From the Portlend Oregonian. The spines are very loosely attached to the porcupine, and they are very sharp, as sharp as a needle at the outer end. At al- most the slightest touch they penetrate the nose of a dog or the clothing or flesh of a person touching the porcupine, and stick there, coming away from the animal with- out any pull being required. The facility in catching hold with one end and letting go with the other has sometimes caused peo- ple to think that the spines had been thrown at them. The outer end of the spines, for some. distance down, 1s covered with small barbs. These barbs cause a spine once imbedded in a living animas to keep working further in with every move- ent of the muscles, so that it is not a pleasant thing to get stuck full of them. ~~~ eee. —- Sham Newsboys. ‘From the Boston Transcript.

THE METROPOLITAN COMPA A Well-Known Newspaper Man Transferred to Another Field. TRIBUTE TO MR. PHILLIPS ————+—_ Mr. George H. Harries was yesterday elected president of the Metropolitan street railroad to fill the vacaney caused by the resignaticn of Mr. Samuel L. Phillips. This action was taken at a meeting of the board of directors held yesterday afternoon. In accordance with his intention, announced several months ago, Mr. Phillips formally presented his resignation at the meeting yesterday, and it was accepted *by the board of directors. In taking this action the board adopted the following resolutions George H. Harries. as sume expression of their appreciation of the services rendered the road by Mr. Phillip: Resolved, That the directors accept the resignation of Mr. Samuel L. Phillips, pres- ident of the Metropolitan Railroad Com- pany, with great regret. : When Mr. Phillips became, on the 15th of September, 1894, president this company was, by act of Congress, compelled, under forfeiture of its charter, to completely build ane operate its north and south line with an underground electric railroad with- in ten months and a half, and its east and west line within one year thereafter. At that time, although a’number of attempts had beer. made to build such a road, none, in the judgment of the directors, nad proved éither a physical cr financial suc- cess. In the midst_of doubt as to what system should be adopted, Mr. Phillips as- sumed control of the affairs of the com- pany, and under his administration both lines have been built within the time pre- ser:bed by law, and the company possesses today twenty-two miles of underground electric railroad, which is pronounced by American and foreign experts to be ihe finest street railroad in the world. The great work has been done in the mos? substantial manner, without mistakes and with great economy and the purest in- tegrity. ‘ The directors take pleasure in certifying these facts, and order that these resoiu- tions be spread (engrossed) upon the min- solved, That. as,a,testjmonial of these services, the directors hereby vote Mr. Phillips a free pass on the cars of t company for his life. ion of the conductors and motor- men waited on the directors and presented the following: ¢ , Mr. S. L. Phillips, president: Sir: We, the undersigned employes of the Metropolitan Railroad Company,learn with deep regret of the contemplated severance of your official relations with this com- pany, and we take this method of express- ing our high esteem fer you personally and to thank you for the interest you have taken in our behalf, especially with regard to the establishing of the relief assoc tion, which has been of great benefit to many of us already. We one and all wish you peace, happi- ness and prosperity in your well-earned re- irement. Sms paper was.signed by two hundred employes of the company, and otber sig- natures would have been added if there had been sufficient room on the paper to admit th> names. ‘The resignation of Mr. A. A. Wilson as vice president and director was received and accepted, and Mr. Robert D. Weaver, a member of the board, was elected vice president. Dr. Daniel B. Clarke also re- Signed as member of the board. The two vacancies in the directory will be filled at the next meeting of the board. The New President. It has been generally understood for some time that Mr. Harries would be chosen by the board as the successor of Mr. Phil- lips, and the announcement of the action of the board, while not a surprise to the many friends of Mr. Harries, brought to him hearty and sincere congratulations. Mr. Harries is well known in this city, where he has been a resident for a num- ber of years past. He is prominent as a newspaper man, and is also identified with the District National Guard. He was. bern thirty-six years ago in Wales, where he was educated, and then learned the trade of printer. He emigrated to the Canadian northwest, and for-several years remained in the western country, some- times on one- side of the international boundary line and sometimes on the other. He was settled for a time in Idaho, where his father had charge of an Indian agency. His early manhood in the west among miners, plainsmen and Indians was filled with stirring Incident. During years that n-ost young men devote to school and col- lege, he was compelled by necessity to “rough it;” but he acquired from that a knowledge of the country and of mankind that has been of much service to him. He came to Washington in 1880, and has prac- tically been a resident of this city ever since. He has been best known here as one of the ablest newspaper men of the Gay. Before coming to Washington he had had considerable experience in different branches of newspaper work on, western newspapers. Eight years ago he became a member of The Star staff, and on The Star has done the work that has brought him into prominence as a journalist. He described in the columns of The Star the great Indian uprising at Pine Ridge and the Homestead strike, as well as the notable railroad strike at Chicago. The knowledge he had gaired of the Indians led to his appointment by President Harri- son as a member of the Sicux commission of 1991. For several years he has been inspector gencral-of rifle practice of the District National Guard with rank cf major, and under his command the District team has won notable victories. Mr. Harries: has fer two years been a member of the school beard, having charge, as trustee, of the schools of the second division. He has a reputation for energy which doubtless had much to do in bringing about his election as president of the Metropolitan Company. He is marfied and has two children. No Change of Policy. President Harries, when spoken to by a Star reporter today as to his probable poli- cy, said: “There is absolutely nothing to say as to the probability of any changes in the conduct ef the road. The machinery— human and otherwise—is operating with satisfactory smoothress, and not until this cenditfon ceases to be is there anything of impoftance likely to happen: Mechanical!y the best equipped road in the 1 Gass it ts also blessed with what new seems to be a'| thoroughly competent staff..Te make any declarations as to specific lines of policy would, at this time, be premature; let it for the present be sufficient for me to state that the Metropolitan company will con- tinue, with all zeal, to render to this com- munity the finest street car service Wash- ington has ever known.” EXPLANATORY NOTE: Opserrations taken at 8 a. bars, or lines cf equal air pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch.’ ith “termtab fie enta “Wines are ta0- Iles are isotherms, or lines of equal temperature, drawn foreach ten degrees.

Counsel of the Accused Claims He Can Establish an Alibi and the ed. Trial Was Cont In Judge Miller's court this morning Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny called for a preliminary hearing the case of the col- ored man Charles Phillips, charged with having attempted to murder Fred. |W. Emrich Sunday morning, September 20, near Indiana avenue and 4th street. As printed in The Star at the time, Mr. Em- rich had just concluded making his regular Saturday night collections at his stores, ard was on his way home, when he was shot in the neck. A second snot, which did not take effect, was fired, and the appear- ance of an electric car frightened off the would-be highwayman. Precinct Detective Hartigan of Lieut. Kelly’s potice station made the arrest of Phillips, after a careful investigation, and most of the witnesses he found were in court, today two of them, however, being out ot the city. ~ Lawyer Frank Closs appeared as counsel, in the case, and entered a plea of not guilty. = Mr. Emrich, who was suffering considera- ble pain from the bullet in his neck, was first examined. He testified that he had left his store at 215 Indiana avenue in a phaeton, and it was nearly 12:3) o'clock when he reached Indiana avenue and 4th street, aad there he was shot by some person, but by whom he dces not know. Witness said he saw @ man ruu, but could not recognize him. “Do you knew the defendant?” Mr. Mul- lowny asked “Yes, sir,” responded Mr. Emrich; “he was emplcyed by me as an errand toy.” Wi-ress explained that Phillips knew of his habits of making these collections, but he could not identify him as the man who fired the shots. Identified the Prisoner. Charles E. Dupont being sworn, testified that on Saturday night, September 19, he left 7th and H streets to go to the Balti- more and Ohio depot, and he thought it was nearly 12:30 o’clock when he reached Indiana avenue and 3d street. “Standing there on the northeast corner of Indiana avenue and 3d street,” said wit- ness, “I saw a colored man who wore a dark suit of clothes and a brown derby hat. The man pulled the hat down over his face when he saw me. I was about two feet from him.” “What kind of a night was it?” “It was cloudy, but just about the time I reached there the moon came from under a cloud and gave me a good view of his face.” “Would you know that man if you saw him now?” “I would.” Hee about the court and see if you see “There he is, to the defendant. “What is your business?” the witness was asked by Mr. Closs. “I’m: a painter and decorator,” was his response. “What were you decorating shat night?” “Nothing.” “Were you painting the town red?” “No, sh hadn't drank a drop. Witness explained that he had the asthma and being unable to sleep he sometimes walks the streets. Frank B. Queen testified that he left the Academy of Music some time after 12 o'clock, and was on his way home when he heard cries of “Stop thief.” He was then on C street between 2d and 3d streets, just in rear of Trinity Church. Two young men on wheels came along, and a man, whom they were following, ran in Knox alley.

Care and Skill. Dr. Mortimer Granville in the London Times. For thany years i have recommended generally, and especially for the gouty. The ‘gredt™’practical difficulty lies in the fact that such cider as the sick—the gouty, for example—fequire, can hardly be procure@: at a marketable saie price. I am compelled to procure their cider pri- vately and by favor of some farmer who n-akes his-own’ beverage, and for this rea- son—that it is a fundamental! condition of sucéees ih the manufacture of cider for medical .purposes.that enly .apples of a single sort shpuld be ysed in the produc- tior, cf. the must,.and that the fermenta- tion should not be arrested, but allowed to procead until the whole of the fermen! is exhausted and the fermentable materia! broken into its’ elements. No inconsiderable ;part ef the service performahle by gocd cider in the cure of disease and the preservation of health is due to the same eleinents whieh- com- bine to form the phloridzin obtainable from the bark of the stem and root of the apple, the pear and certain other trees. This phicridzin—a glucoside—was some fifty years ago submitted to criticism as a prob- able substitute for quinine. It was not found to answer the purpose assigned to it, but experiment then and subsequently proved that it possessed two remarkable properties—the one of so acting on’ the digestive*functions that, after two or three weeks’ use of this phloridzin, persons who could. not appropriate certain elements of food necessary for their nutrition were able to do sa. the other of acting in such fashiot on the glycogen accumulated in mvecular tisaues. for ‘‘work,’’..but _which, wken Overaccumulated, causes.at least one form, of the trouble called ‘rheymatism,” as to convert it into sugar and thus get rid of it. 3 é Now, ordinary cider would be perfectly useless for the beneficia! purposes covered by the above specification. If physicians are to have a valuatle addition to. the beverages they can recommend their pa- tients, and. the consumers’ -elder are to enjoy the advantages of. t's valuable nat- ural product, there. must be no attempt to arrest_fermentation af the right point.

DARING ATTEMPT AT MEEKER, COL Townspeople Surrounded the Build- ing and Shot the Bandits. ‘DESPERATE TO THE LAST ee DENVER, Col., October 15.—According to the latest advices from Meeker, Col., which is ninety miles from the nearest telegraph office, the three men who were killed there afver robbing the bank have not been identified. The one who lived two hours after being shot gave names which are be- Meved. to be fictitious. It is belleved thit o1e of the robbers is Thomas McCarthy, who sided in robbing banks at Telluride and Delta. Those killed and wounded in the battle -between the citizens and the robbers are: Dead—Charles Jones, leader of the bandits, aged forty-five, shot through the lungs and chest; Wm. Smith, robber, aged twenty-one, riddled through the sungs. and chest, shot through the heart, and a number of other wounds, any of which would have been mortal; George Harris, robber, aged thirty- five, shot through lurgs and chest. The wounded—Game Warden W. H. Clarke, bul- Jet in the right chest, not fatal; Victor Dikeman, shot through the arm: C. A. Booth, scalp wound; W. P. Herrick, fing -r shot off. ‘The robbery was one of the mos: daring ever perpetrated in the west, occur- ring in broad daylight and at a time whcn there were twenty or more persons in plain sight. George Rooney, clerk of the Meeker Ho- tel, had stepped into the bank, which is lo- cated in the general mercantile store of J. W. Hagus, to make a deposit, and stood talking to Assistant Cashier David Smith. As he turned to leave he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder, and, glancing up, was looking into the muzzle of a revolver. The man with the revolver commanded “Hands up.” At the same instant two shots rang out, and two bullets whizzed by the head of the assistant cashier, David Smith, who threw up his hands. In’ the meantime, two other robbers had covered the crowd in the store, compelling them to assemble in the center of the room, and guarding both doorwa: Then Cashier Moulton was called, and one of the men said to him: “Open the safe, and be quick about it.” At the point of his gun he was conducted to the safe, which he opened, and the con- tents of the drawer, $700, were emptied into a sack which the robbers had brought. Not a word was spoken, the robbers going about thelr business with a deliberation that was astounding under the circum- stances. After getting the money in the ull, they quietiy took all the firearms in the place, helped themselves to cartridges, and then the leader spoke to the crowd, bank officials, employes of the store and custom- ers who happened to be in the place, say- ing their horses were standing hitched out- side the rear door, which opens on a side street, and that for their own sake they would request all to go outside with the The crowd filed through the doorway, fol lowed by the robbers. The robbers were ‘mot aware that the piace was surrounded until all were out. The crowd that they had driven from the store broke and ran for cover The citizens of the town had been warned by the two shots fired in the store, anv. arming themselves, surrounded the bank and quietly awaited the appearance of the robbers. Deputy Game Warden W. H. Clarke noticed that the three horses we: fastened at the rear door, and, surmisir tkat the robbers would leave by that rout tcok up his station a short distance from the. hack door, and centered more men this place than any other, not neglecting, however, to keep the front door just as well watched.

The dead men were ri moved to an urdertaking establishment, where an inquest was held, rendering a verdict of justifiable homicide. The money was all recovered. It Is believed here that the robbers were members of the McCarthy gang that com- mitted several daring train and bank rob- beries in Montana, Oregon, Washington and Colorado. It is also supposed that the man who robbed David H. Moffatt and the First National Bank of this city of $21,00 in 1889, was a member of the gang. The McCarthys formerly lived in an oui- qf-the-way place in Oregon, where they were regarded as wealthy ranchmen. In an attempt to rob the bank at Delta, Col., about a year ago, John McCarthy and his son were killed, but Tom McCarthy e: caped. er CHILDREN’S VOICES. The First Thing to Be Taught is How to Take Care of Them. In the course of some interesting com- ments in Baby, Miss Mary B.

I think this an erro- neous premise when applied to all; for temperament, quality of voice, condition of health and climate, have much to do with determining the proper age to begin vocal training.

The cultivation of a voice of good strength should be commenced as the child begins to sing. whether its age be four or four- teen. But no child with a promising voice should ever be compelled to jeopardize it by singing at inopportune times, or while suffering with a cold, to the utter loss of voice as a penalty. One of the first things good teacher should do is to instill in the minds of. pupils the great importance of taking care of the voice, regardless of the urging of those who care not for the condi- tions, to sing at inopportune times, and when the physical state warns to the con- trary. Each pupil should be taught the limit of the voice, and made to understand that when she goes beyond the acquired compass the danger line has been reached. While the finesse of teaching ts all right enough, the common sense of teaching is all the better. If a child of nine has a good voice, why should tone cultivation be put off until the age of fourteen? The breath- ing exercises, the physical culture and the broadening of the chest all tend to physical activity and the development of muscular strength which would otherwise remain unused. The position of the tongue, the throat and mouth are no more difficult attain in the younger than in the older pupils. The younger pupils can be easily taught the rules for speaking the words in song; and the staccatos, trills, crescendos and diminuendos come to children so easily that by the time they are eighteen they have accomplished their acquirement with- out apparent effort, provided, of course, they have been under the care of a teacher who understands the delicacy of the hu- man voice. To sing correctly and artisti- cally 1s to sing without labored effort; and if-this is true of adults, why should it not be true of children? The best way to pre- ‘vent childrenfrom acquiring bad habits is to commence early trainin Pay for Clothes With Mustache. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. “While John Davis was employed at De- troit as coachman for Sherman R. Miller, D. M. Ferry's brother-in-law, he was per- suaded by Mrs. Miller to shave off his mus- tache in consideration of a new uniform and a plug hat. The clothes were charged to Mr. Miller’s account. Some time after- ward Davis left Miller's employ and took the clothes with him. Miller had him ar- rested for larceny, but, hearing a number of witnesses, Judge Chapin took the case from the jury and ordered a verdict of not guilty. ‘This morning Geo. F. Robison, at- torney for Davis, sued Miller for $15,000 damages. Davis claims his arrest amount- ed to malicious prosecution. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. seh ase? ‘Page 8 ATTORNEYS.
