THE COMERCIAL TRAVELER, Nerve and Oheck as Defined Dy a Cele- brated Lady Drummer. MRS, STEWART'S SECRET OF SUCCESS, A Ducl With Lnssoes--A Horriblo Scene Witnessed in a Neéw Mexico Village ~Honey« moon lacidents, A tall, stont woman, with a fresh complex- fon and big, brown eyes, walked up to Clerk Fields at tho Ginson office yesterday and en- quired after an expross packago which she had been expecting, says the Cincinnatl As she moved her right hand a famond glittored and gleamed in the ¢ light: Mhat,” sald Mr. Ficlds impressively, after * the lady had walked out of the main entrance . to Walnut street, *4is Mrs. L.

She enjoys tho distinction of being the leading lady drummerof the country, aud carries her honors lightly indeed. There is delicious brusquenoss, o what might be easily called masculine naivotte, about her that is impressive and at the same time charming, She is a thorough business woman, with just enough of the feminine tendorness to make her an ideal common-sensed woman, “Tiis talk about women not being able to travel alone is all bosh,” said Mrs, Stewart, “Hero I haye been traveling for the past five years, and I have yot to sce tho man who has rossly insulted me. 1t all lios in the f she is do the world as o raveler, You'sed, thero is a cortain gallantry about a man which is certain to ex- hibit itself when in the presence of o woman, and naturally, therefore, I got n great deal of elp and kind'attention on my trips.” ““Wiat should be the main requisite in a good traveling saleslady " “Hustle, was tho terse refoinder of Mrs, Stewart, and she gave it with a pleasant, smilo. “If a woman is endowed with that lity, why demme--excuso me. but I don't bel 1 words—she oughtto got wlong, ‘There is a big difference botween cheelc and nerve, The firstis pure and un- od brassmess; the second is clear- tillating go-aheadativeness, I'he s the effect upon a customer of causing Him to lose resp siecond is the surest sced to raise the plant of udmiration. I know 1'm not cheeky dommo —excuse my language—if 1 think I've got the right kind of norve.” “Mrs. Stewart defined nerve and cheek very well, remarked Clork Fields, ‘as wo hotel clerks have reason to know. ' For in- stance, some time ago there came a femalo stenographer 1o the hotel in company with on old railroad manager. She was justbe- yond the blushing side of 28, and possibly was in the shadow of the thirties. She was given o zood room, and then tho trouble be- gan. She wanted fresh ice water ten times @ day, kicked at tho meals, growled at the miserible weather, took offenso at the merely cursory glances of half u hundred traveling men, wagged her tongue viciously at the delay of the elevator, grumbied be- cause there were no 'matinces ab the theaters on Friday, remonstrated in mo mild tones with tho housekceper be- cause hier room wasn't tidied a_few minutes after sho aroso from bed, and did & hundrod other things well calculated to make hotel guests and employes feel that thero were more disagreeablo things in life than an_ in- surance agent or a persistent borrower. Now, in the face of all this, what do you suppose this girl told me in a ‘wild burst of rapturous, child-like confidence? *“Mr. Clerk,’ said she, ‘Thope you don't mind any anuoyance I miy have caused you, for I am & woman of tho world, left an orphan quite young, and I'vo imbibed & goodly amount of nerve.’ “I recovered from the blow by the liberal use of tonies and cola water." A Duel With Lossoes, Mr. J. R. Johnson, a Chicago traveling man who returned lately from a trip through “New Mexico, says he was tho witness of ono of the most horrible ducls over fought in that land, where the shedding of human blood ex- cites but little attention and the slayer of a fellow man, if the killing is done in anything like a fair fight. goos scot free. Mr. Johnson says he was in the southern part of New Mexico, taking a wagon ride with his sam- ples, when he arrived at the little villay of Scbolla, His driver was a Mexican and acted as interpreter. There was no hotel in the place, bat they succeeded in obtaining nccommodations at a house which was & slight remove from a stable, After making out a supper as best he could Mr. Johnson sat in front of the house enjoy- ing a cigar. Inside he could hear the pretty daughter of his host laughing and chatter- ing. The girl was evidently the bolle of the country, and knew it. Sho was about fifteen” 'years old. Early in the even- ing & ‘young Mexican ‘rode up. He was tricked out in all the finery af- fected by the horsemen of that country and, from the efusive reception accorded by the irl, he was undoubtedly a fayorite. While the’ merriment was at its heieht another young man rode up, dressed enough like the first 1o play the twin brother act. He was as well received as the first by the girl, but, it was plain that tho first comer looked on the socond with jealous eyes. A few minutes later tho driver informed Mr. Johinson that thero would be trouble, for the men were rivals and the girl was a thorough coquette, The two herders had been in tho house & short time when loud talking and quarrelin; were heard. Mr. Johnson went in, attracte by the noise, and saw at once thers would be afight. The girl, pleased tobe the cause of such a row, showed her pearly teeth, and her black oyes ' grew brighter still “as the excite- ment increased. Finally the rival lovers ap- peared to have como to some agroement, and, appealing to bis interpreter, Mr, Johnson found that the men ' had deter- mined to fight a duel with their lassoes. It was @& bright light night as they role out o tho p There wereabout a'dozen in the party, Mr, Johnson tritd through his interproter o patch up a peace. but the man said the Mexicans told hi to mind Lis own business, which he concluded o do, A rapid gallop took the party far enough out into tho plain to-allow he duelists free room to ride at will, “How terrible tho affair would be," Mr. Johnson says, “[ bad not the slightest idea, or I cerfainly would not have been a witness to it. ‘Tho two men stripped to the waist. They wero barcheaded. There was none of the formality and politencss which mark tho duels of civilized men. They sim- By, nted each other and desired to ki, Tho ast spoken word of each was a curse. Their horses wero put facing each other close to- gether. At a given signal they rode slowly past each other, went about twenty yards, wurned and were ready to fight. Lasso in hand, they slowly circied about, each keep- ing o' watchful eyo on the movements of his rival. Suddenly s his was heard, and & lasso flew through the air from one man. An alort eye and a quick dodge caused it to fall short, and be- fore it could bo recovered the other hud thrown his vope, butit, too, was carefully evaded. This continued’ for' several minutes, many throws being made and avoided. The deadly loop was thrown by experts, but they were also dodged by men who had studied the arv all their lives, At last the smaller of the two men sent his lasso whistling through the alr. 1 saw the other throw up his hand and arm to ward it off, but the loop settied down over his head and arm, and in @ flash it was tight. It was'all done in the twinkling of an eye. Both horses wereon the run while the loop was fastened tight about the man's neck and arm, Ho was jorked out of the sad- dle, and then in sowe way his boot caught in the stirrup and he hung screaming between tho two borses, the lasso cuttiag nto his flesh e two horses strained ap i 1o tear Lim in two, et A “It was simply awful. The victorious man was yelling like a domon and urging hishotss to greater efforts, I could not stand the sight, and rushed forward to cut the rope and free the unfortunate map, but_ befors I could reach him 'his boot gave . and tho other started his horse running over the prairie, dragging the inanimate body of his rival, which was fast being reduced to o shapeless' mass, Round and round he eir- cled, until at the awful sight I fainted. When I recovered consclousness I was on a bench in front of the house and the payty had dis- persed. On the plain lay the body of the victim of the duel and in the house wero the girl and the victor, laughing and talking as i nothing had happenod.” A Thrilling Experience. As a party cf gentiemen saf in an up-town restaurant a few nights ago discussing some juley chops and Pommery, oneof them, & New York drummer, related the following, to which ho was an ey witness : “Something over two years agol was doing the west in tho interest of a New York wholesalo house, and wound up in San Francisco on & Sunday forenoon, After lolling about, reading papers and finally discussing an admirable dinner at the Palace, Lstarted for a ride toward Golden Gate park, taking one of thocable cars, It was then about 3 o'clock, and the avenue leading toward the park was densely crowded with vehicles of every description. It seomed that every one owniug a carriage of aany character, from the road cart to tho laudau, 'was enjoylug the delight of driving in ~ the delightfully temperod sunshine, All ages, soxes, and conditions were lining the sidewalks as well. I could almost imagine it some extra- brdinary felo day, so great was the number of the populace who_were out for an airing. While admiring the life and movement of tho scene, I heard a shout, as if from a by-stroet which we were approaching, and tho next moment a huge express wagon. drawn by two powerful iron-grey dashed arvund the corner, barely missing a cab, and pursuing their mad flight into the thick of tho pleasure drivers, No one was upon the seat, the horses having probably been left standing, and becomo affrighted. That they must collide with some of the_frail ve- hicles 1n their path seemed inevitable from the crowded conditl Ilooked on as they galloped furiously past the car, my blood fairly freezing with horror at the'sight. 1t seomed almost miraculous thatnothing bad yey been encountered by them, that they could run twenty-five yards further without, wreck- ing some of the other carriages, and probably Killing their occupants, seemed impossible, Whilo gazing upon the flying runaways [ caught but a baro glimpse of afigure on horse- back that flashed swiftly by the car window. Turning my glance to him I perceived that from his sombrero, his hugo stirrups and pied mustang, that he was a vac- quero — then the truth dawned on me, he was in pursuit of the flying team, Al- ready ho was fast nearing them, and bis lariat was eircling in the air: a moment more and the swift noose had swung through the air and fallen nearly over the neck of the near horse, The trained mustang, ata ture, it seemed, had settled itself squarely on its muscular haunches, and the uulooked-for jerk pulied the big gray violently upon tho pavement, his mate going to the ground with him. “Dozens of _vigorous at their heads beforo they could strugglo to their feet, and almost in the wink of an eye they were lovsed from the wagon. Youshould have heard the crowd cheer that cowboy as ho and his gallant lit- tlo mustang moved up the ayenue—it was an honest, western yell that almost created an earthquiake. No, he would not have any col- lection taken up for him, andliewise refused to give his name. You incredulous fellows may think ita flction, but I assure you it is not, and the files of the 'Frisco papers of the day will verify my tale.” hands were Honeymoon Incidents. On Friday of last week a happy couple boarded the Housatonic expressat a smnall town up in Massachusetts. Instead of taking the drawing-room car they went into the smoker and made themselves perfectly at home. From their conversation it was socn learncd by all the men in the car thiat they had been married that day and wero on their way to spend the honeymoon at the groom's home in Jersoy City. It was also evident that there had. been & good deal of liquid rofreshment ot the wedding foast, and that it was just bogin- ning’to get in its work. When the train reached Merwinsville the couple had had several little spats, and bad blood began to get warm between them. At this station a dapper little chap, a drammer, got on the carand sat in front of and facing the bride, She wasat once smitten with his dudish charms and began an outrageous flirtation with him. ‘The groom objected to this and chastised tho little chap, but the bride sided with tho vanquished. When Hawley- ville was reached the little man left the train and sgood at the car win- dow. Just as the train started - he, beckoned to the bride, who jumped up reached the car platformand swung grace- fully off, Her husband of a fow hours started aftor her, butas the train was going at a good speed a brakeman detained him. At the next stopping place, Boston, thirteen miles from Hawleyville, e got off the train and started to walk back, muttering that there would be trouble when he reached Hawley- vilie, ¢Tho runaway wife and the drummer biad inthe meantimo taken tho train {or Fish- ville. Last week a young couple from Bir- miogham departed from the paternal home amid a shower of rice for New York. There was pleaty of room on tho Naugatuck train, but when they got on the New Haven division at Bridgeport the car was pretty well filled. The best they could dowas to find_seats on the opposite sides of the aisle. Before the next statien was reached the young groom had occasion to speak to his wife, and as he leancd over to do so a quantity of rice rolled from his hat brim to the floor. The gentleman who sat in the seat with the bride saw the rice, blushed, and apologizing to the still more blushing bride, gathered up his traps and entered tho smoking car. The groom changed his seat at onco and was happy. Samples.

Buried an Ewmpty Coffn, Soloman Seal was married to Amanda Whittington in New Albany in 1858, By this marriage a boy child was born and lived to be one year old,when it sickened and died, says & Columbus, Ind., special to the Chicago Horald, The father and mother disagreed as to the place of in- terment of their child, the mother want- ing it buried at New Albany cometory the father at the cemetery in this ocity. The corpse was prepared for burial at this place and the father took a last farewell look at the dead babe and went from theroom. The mother then quickly took the body from the coffin and con- cealed it in the residence. The funeral proceeded and the empty casket was duly buried. On the following day the mother went to New Albany, Ind., ac which place the body of the {illla babe was {nterred according to the wish of the mother. FAMOUS RATTLESNAKE'S DEATH, It Was Over Eleven Feet Long and Had Nineteen Rattles. The largest rattlesnake ever seen in Georgia wns killed Saturday in Lee county upon the plantation of Becretary of State General Phil Cook, eays the Atlanta Constitution, The snake has errorized the neighborhood for years, and-its death Saturday was the occasion of a jubilee celebration among the darkies in that. vicinity. Even the white people joined in the general feel- ing of relief thab 60 dangerous and dreaded a neighbor was rid of at last, The snake, by actual measurement, was a littlo over eleven feet long. It had nineteen rattles and a button, The snake has been hunted for years, and traps innumerable have been devised for its capture. Its den is an impenetra- Dble section of the Kinchafoonee swamp. Near this is a cypress pond, and between the swamp and pond is the road. Hun- dreds of times its track has been seen across the road. People who had not seen it were loath to believe the stories told about ft, but the truth finally be- camo established and the Lee county rattlesnake became famous from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The snake has swallowed young Figs, chickens, rabbits? and other small animals, and was dreaded by the nogroes like a ghost. It was difficult to induce them to travel the road at night, @Last Saturday the snake was found across the path near the pondby Mr. Phil Cook. Without dis- turbing it Mr, Cook went off for help, rveturning with thres or four negroes armed with hoes and clubs. Stealing up near the snake the negroes fell upon it, and with the hoes and clubs fi ) killed it. It was cut open and in its bel was found a full-grown buck rabbit. This probably accounts for the dormant and comparatively helpless condition of the snake and the ease with which it was dispatched. The snake was then thrown across the shouldors of one of the negroes and car- ried to the house. Though the negro was a stalwart, muscular man, he stag- gered under the load. i g There is nothing like Dr. Thomas' Electric oil to quickly cure a cold or_relieve hoarse- ten by Mrs. M. J.

Alot of us were waiting at Syracuse for the train from Oswego, when we noticed an old man and his son, the lat- ter about twenty-five years old and built like a horse, saysa_writer in the New York Sun.' Something scomed to be troubling the boy, and by and by the old man slipped around and put us on. Said he: “Bill has got a bile on his left leg ahout as big as a pint cup. He’s had it two weeks, and I got him to town to have it lanced. Come to git here, he hain’t got the sand. Sunthin’ orter be done, and I've thought of a way.” “Welll” “I'd bust the bile ina York minit if I could get the chance, but Bill suspects me, If ono of you fellers would go up and tap him he'd be the most thankful man in the country after it-was over,” You will always find some one in a crowd ready to offer himself up for any- thing. The man in our erowd who vol- unteered was traveling through the country with a fireproof paint. He was aslim, cadaverous chap with a wheezy voice, and he said to the father: “0ld man, I'll doit, I’ve had biles for the last twenty-five years, and I know what it is to suffer. All'of you keep quict and I'll have Bill singing hosan- nas in less'n five minutes.” He_ stepped out of the crowd, wan- dgred around for a bit, and, as Bill be- me interested in a railroad notice tacked on tho wall, the humanitarian approached him and dealt him a smart kick on the calf of his left leg. A wild yelland a jump followed, and then the room was filled with hats, dust, coats, legs, and boots, and we pulled Bill off to find the paint man lying unconscious and apparently tied ino fourteen knots. A doctor who was present worked over him for ten minutes be- fore he opened his eyes. Bill and the old man had slipped out long before that, and_we had to pick up two teeth, a crushed hat, a broken watch chain, a smashed watch and some pieces of cloth, and laid them beside the victim.

Mr. Barton,C. E., explained the natire and extent of the project, but stated that further investigation would be necessary beforo a full or satisfactory report on the subject could be submit- ted for consideration. The length of the proposed tunnel, ho said, would be thirty-three miles, and the probable cost of construction would amount to between £8,000,000 to £10,000,009. Resoiutions wereadopted recognizing theadvantages which would acerue o the commercial classes in Great Britain and Ireland if the proposed tunnel was completed, and stating that, in the event of its being found on further investigation that the project is feasible, the government should be asked to give such financial assistanco as would enable the work to be carried out.
