What Hns Boen Done During the First Half of 1893, The railway construction. of 1893 has not so far contributed to the inflation that has caused the financial stress from which the country is now suffeving. The Chicago Railway Age and Northwestern Railroader has been figuring up the tracklaying done in the first half of 1803, ending June 80, and finds it to be a triflo more than 1,000 miles. The fol- lowing statement is given in detail: State. Alubama.. Arkansas, Arlzons. .. Californix Colorado, . Plorida Idaho Indian Tilinols. . Kansas Kentucky Loulsian alne % Mussachussets Minnosotu. Missourl . D Washin West Virginia Wyoming...... k Total thirty states and territorl The losses in operating railways have been 0 enormous that nobody wants to invest money in mere speculative con- struction, What is being built is de- manded by absolute necessity. Penn- sylvania and Texas are the only states where any considerable mileage is shown. The rail authority from which the figures given are quoted holds to the belief that the total construction for the whole year will .be about 3,000 wiles.

There is an interesting romvnce con- nected with the marriage of Bandit Henry Starr, now in jail in Denver. One night in August, 1892, a train was held up at Pryor Creek, Ark. Starr remained on the “platform of the firsy coach while his men were securing the cash. While he was standing there a young girl, wild with terror, rushed out and before Starr could stop her jumped off the car and ran away into the darkness, The bandit did not give the matter a moment’s thought. The train was de- layed about half an hour and then Starr and his men rode furiously away through the woods. About a quarter of a mile away one of the robhers, who was riding in advance, came upon what scemed to be a dead girl. He put spurs to his horse and made him jump over the bydy. Several others followed, but when Starr came to the spot he dismounted and picked the _up in_his arms to see whether she was really dead or not. Slowly she opened her eyes and gazed in a dazed way at the faces of the rough men around her. Instantly Starr recog- nized in her the girl whom he had seen run away from the train. He at once ordered one of the men to carry the girl’ along on his saddle. She was too frightened to make any remonstrance. The outlaws halted the next day about 10 o'clock in a secluded canon, where they pitched camp. Here Starr put his fair captive under the care of an Indian woman and gave orders to the men to leave her alone. The girl was pretty, apparently about 16 years old. Every time Starr appeared she pleaded'with him to take her back to her people. She said that her name was Mary Jones and that her father TSR A P N AR availing. On the third day reports came to the camp that the marshals were on the track of the robbers and they were com- pelled to leave. Starr had by this time taken a fancy to Mary and had her ride byhis side. The country through which the bandits traveled was a rough one. Starr noticed, however, that Mary com- plained less and less,and had even grown to like him; but he knew also that she could not stand the rough treatment she was receiving, and when he noticed that the marshals were closing in on his band he resolved to send her back to her home. Beforo parting he told her that he would soon go to Joplin and marry her, She said that she would wait for him. In three weeks-Stare went to Joplin to cluim his bride. He had but little diffi- culty in finding her, and after gaining the ceusent of her parents he was married toher under the name of | Frank Jackson. Noone in Joolin knew him, and he passed himself off as a New Mexican rancher. From Joplin the young cofiple went to Las Vegas, N, M., and from there to Colorado Springs, where he was captured. rAGES, A CAra from Morse's. Tt may interest our patrons to know that we are going to make anothor alter- ation of our store. We are not satisfied with everything and we propose to spend a good many hundred dollars to produce tho highest type of a dry goods store. We think the public of Omaha will not be long in detecting and appre- clating the changes. We need more room upon our first floor. This is not talking paradoxical. The patronage bestowed upon us the past season wo ap- preciate, and beg to thank the public for their liberal support. Progressive- ness is a strong characteristic with us and we mean to merit the patronage of the public by making shopping a pleas- ure and a profit to the people of Omaha by all tha convenionces of a well planned and model establishment. We shall be in the hands of carpenters next week, after Monday, but we ask our friends to be indulgent for a time, promising them a greatly improved store when changes are completed. We are not going to tell you anything more just now. We want you to come and see what is going on for yourself as the work progresses, The changes will not interfere with our selling. During alterations we shall have special counters and daily bar- gains. Goods will be sold at half price in many instancesand at any apology for a price it may be to keep trade lively.

Todd has given $2,000 a year o the Boston Publ library to be expended in newspapers for the free reading-rooms. Chuutauqua has again buckled down to_work, and this fountain of popular culture is hubbling sweetly toward the four corners of the land. Miss Mavgarette A. Moody, a teacher in a public school in South Boston, Mass., has resigned after an unin- terrupted service of fifty-two years. The grateful Alumni association” gave her a basket containing fifty-two roses. C. K. Jenness, associate professor of sociology in the Stanford university, has started out in California as an ama- teur tramp to study the condition of that undesirably large class of repro- bates and ascertain, if possible, what makes them such. The Pratt institute, of Brooklyn, teaches twenty-five different branches to women, among which are dressmak- ing, millinery, cooking, laundry work, sewing, typewriting, bookkeeping, nor- mal tramning in art education, de- signing, art needlework, photography, wood carving, urchitectural drawing and library training. THE BEE is in receipt of a tastefully I)rinwd souvenir, descriptive of the Drexel institute of Philadelphia, founded by Anthony Joseph Drexel. Besides the descriptive matter there are handsome lithographs of the exterior and intorior of the institute, which give a clear idea of the magnificent equipment of this monument to Mr. Drexel's generosity. The annual catalogue of the Univers sity of Notre Dame, justissued, sketches the growth of that educationak institution, the course of study and the roster of students for the past year. The university is in a flourishing condition, and venerable founder, Very Rev. Edward Sorin, § C., still exercises a controlling influcnce in the management of its affa.rs. An old program of the Harvard com- mencement exercises for 1801 records on that occasion there were orations in La- tin, Greek and Hebrew, English poems, forensic disputations, colloquial discus- sions, and dialogues on the questions of the day, besides a number of Engl orations. An account of the exerc says that “the house was . every quarter, and cles of ladies were and animating. The performances were received as the evidence of solid learning and useful application, and the applause they met was judicions and sincere.” According to the statement of the San Francisco Bulletin, the Leland Stanford i sity is nowhere 80 rich as it was supposed to he. The property Senator Stanford gave during his lifetime is said to be worth certainly not more than $2,- 500,000 and has so far returned onlya small income. The will of the senator left $2,000,000 more to the university, making in all $5,000,000. As American universities go, this is a large endow- ment, but as it was said that Mr. Stanford intended to give the institution from $2 000,000 to 25,000,000 some natural dis- appointment i felt. e An Exchange of Compilments.

Thousands of women begin their World's fair visit with a book and pencil in hand. They are very indus- trious the first day. They stop in the middle of the aisles and before the most interesting things. They are wholly oblivious to surroundings. They press the pencil meditatively against the lips. Then they scribble with great care, read what they have written and move along to the next thing with a look of satisfa tion, Of 1,000 notehooks which start on a given day, 100 will disappear on the second day and l){' tho end of the week 100 possibly will be in use.

The Liverpool Gas company first began the oxperimentg of putting these ma- chines into artisans' hous sral yonrs ago. In 1890 100 meters were at work in Liverpool, and from that time until now the dificulty has been to construct the machines quickly enough to supply the enormous demand. In 1891 the company fixed 1,975 metors, in 1802, 4,088, and now in Liverpool alone thore are be- tween 8,000 and 9,000 automatic meters in use. Some iden of the popularity which they have attained may be gath- cred from tho fact that the Liverpool Gas company receives on an av applications a woek for p meters from persons who live and cottages of small weekly r fame of the new invention quickly sproad to other large centers, and at the pres- ent timo rapidly increasing demand for them has arisen in London, Loeds, Bris- tol, Manchester, Birmingham, Black- burn, Bolton and other towns. In ity latest form the meter has three dials marked, “£ s, and d.,” and no sooner has a penny been dropped into the slot than the hand of the "D dial vecords it. When twelve pennies have been dropped in, the D" dial standsat “*0," while the hand of the “S” dial records that 1 ¢hilling’s worth of pennies arve in the drawer, gas has been paid for. only move one way, 5o that the houses holder practically gets an indisputable receipt for the pennies he puts into the slot and the total amount he has paid for his gas. An indicator shows how many feet of gas are ‘‘paid for but uncon- sumed.” o — " IMPIETIES. , why is it that you 3 your congregation as en,’ and never mention the~ women in your sermons?" | “But, my dear madam, the one em- braces the other. *0, but, bishop, not in chureh.” X ot Papa—Well, Johnny, you went to church_this morning?
