NOW HE ANSWERS THB DELL. D! f No Longer Afratd of Callers. ‘The chief of one of the bureaus in a cer- tain department in Washington, relates the New York Tribune, has been beset recently by newspaper men desirous of Interview- ing him concerning a subject upon which he will scon be compelled to act. So as- slduous were they that the poor chief, made desperate by their pursult of him, resorted to every possible subterfuge to avold them. For weeks he arose with the sun and slipped out the back door, the front door even at that early hour being In a state of siege. At the department his faithful clerk stood between him and his persecu- tors, whom he managed to escape in the afternoon by driving far into the country. But one pursuer, more persistent than the rest, was not to be outdone, and followed on horseback. Hearing a horse gallop'ne beh nd looked back and saw a man folowing him at a furious pace, waving a paper above his head and shrioking to him to stop. “Drive on,” he ordered, ‘“‘don't let that man overtake us, drive for your lif “Walt, wait a moment,” screamed the | man on horseback, “I've got something for you.' But the victoria bowled on at all pos- sible speed, the rider following fast behind, v. | The chase was a long and hot one, ending with a victory for the squestrian “How do you do, Mr. X.?" he asked when he camo up to the carriage. “What are you running away from me for? “Bocause I'm tired of you infernal ne: paper people,’ he replied, “and I won't glve you a bit of fnformation until I render my Qectsion, so that's all you've got for your e ewspaper people?” querled the breath- less rider, “I'm not & newspaper man. I'm clerk to the law firm of B, & B." “And what do you want of me? the chief, with a sickly smile. “You grubstaked a man to go to the Klondyke two or three years ago, didn't you?" “Yes," responded the chief. it? “Well he struck pay dirt and sent us a check for you covering the stal Interest, and including a handsome bonus, with the request that it should be delivered in person. I'vo been two weeks trylng to get at you and almost lost my position be- cause I did not succeed. Today Mr. B, told me that i I could not glve you that check he guessed I was too slow for them and I need not come back. So here I am and here's the check. Please give me a recelpt.” Since this incident the chief abandoned his habit of early rising for fear he may miss some other debtor desirous of paying up. asked ““What about Arre CINCINNATI, Nov, 20.—Robert Winstel, assistant bookKeeper of the wrecked Ger: man National bank of Newport, Ky., was arrested in this city late last night, charged with being an accomplice of Frank Brown, who 18 ulleged to be short $196,000 in his cher nteers) $3.80094.75 i cows and accounts. ‘Winstel was taken to Newport and locked up, ball being refused.

To the lover of old picturesque things Valley Forge appeals. There are threc | miils long since deserted falling into ruins There are rows of deserted houses. In a clump of bushes some broken boats lfe. Two or three acres make a space suf- |fictent to hold all (hat, to hold also the hotel, the two gray, empty streets and the “for sale or rent” signs of this tiny vil- loge. The place Is steeped In an atmo sphere unimiginably calm and s.ill. A billygoat, the beard under his chin stuck full of burrs, loafs at the lonely corners whero two stre happen aleng he will pursue them, eLould be able to do good work here. Nature has bagn very kind to Valley Forge. She shows her utmost beauty to the village. The airs that blow (arough It are clear and pure. The sky secms bluer there than elsewhere. A noble forest rises upon one side and on the other flows the Schuylkill, a blue stream winding be- tween green banks. And thus inclosed by A poet milis, the deserted houses, the “to let' signs, the hotel and the billygoat dream The history of Valley Forge, its rise its fall and its expected second rise may be gathered at the hotel, which Albin Shaw keeps. Its revolutionary history, set forth In a familiar way, may be gathered at the old Potts house, where Washington's head- quarters were and where E, R. Hampton 18 caretaker. Albin Shaw told all he knew of Valley Forge In the bar room of the hotel yesterday afternoon and Benjamin Rossiter, a veteran of the civil war, helped him out when his memory fatled. Shaw darted into an inner room every little while and returned with armloads of relics —old lamps, hatchets, cannon balls, pleces of wood. Before he was done talking the bar was piled 8o high with these anclent things that only the top of the young man's head was visible behind them. rly Settlees, Many years ago, betore Valley Forge had elther name or belug, certain adventurous and brave men settled there, bullt houses and began to till the soil. These were the famfiles of the Potts, the Browns, the St ph ens, the Havards, the Matsons, the Moores, the Morrises and the Wilkinsons. These families owned farms during the encamp- ment of the continental troops, and their descendants, very prosperous people, still own, In some cases, the same farms. Of the Stephens the Moore and the Havard families ‘this s true. A Stephens, long before the revolution, bullt a forge In the neighborhood. power forge and it was put on the shore of Valley creck. Stephens made merchant iron there and Albin Shaw had a plece of the water wheel he used—a worm-eaten gray board, four or five yards long. Albin brought the board from his archives yesterday and thumped it down on the bar with pride. He would not part with it, he at any price. A professor last sum- mer desired to buy It ardently. The grooves cah still be seen In It where the water buck- ots hung, and its big-headed nails bave the irregularity and roughness that give indi- viduality and charm to all hand-made things Those nalls, says Benjamin Rossiter, are better than modern ones. They would split the mean wood which modern men use From the forge upon Valley creek is easy to see how the name of Valley Forge was born, The rise of Valley Forge was due to the building of three mills there. A big white mill on Valley creek, with & kind of bel- frey Ilke that upon a meeting house, was bullt first. A brick mill, lower down the creek and nearer to the river, was bullt next, and afterward a shoddy mill was erected over agalnst the railroad station. At the time when these three plants were running Valley Forge had over 500 inhabi- tants. It has now not more than 12. There was at one time, furthermore, & gun factory there, where flint-locked rifles and horse plstols were turned out. The brick mill was bullt by Nathan and Caleb Jones. They made flour in 1 until 1865,, whn h Knauer bought it and turned it into a paper mill. After some years John Pennypacker succeeded Isaiah Knauer and he In his turn was succeeded by the American Pulp and Paper tom- pany. This company enlarged the mill and began on a hugh scale and with many flourishes to make paper by some strange process out of palm leaf. The palm-leat paper was to have been a very wonderful and lucrative stuff, but it showed, unfor- tunely, upon being made certain imper- fections—little glazed spots. The Ameri- can Pulp and Paper company tried earn- estly to do away with the glazed spots, but it could mot. Therefore they gave up the mill, which John Hay bought, The place was run in turn then by Hay, by John Knapp & Co. and by Bauchmuller Bres., who made parchment paper. Eight sears ago this last firm abandoned it and it has been abandoned ever since. The wood of its doors and floors and window frames 13 rotting away, the window lights are all broken, weeds overgrow the yard. In the palmy days of the mill it ran day and night, employlng elghty hands. Mills ¢ Falled, In the white mill the belfry woolens were made. Charles H. Rogers owned it and Colonel Waters, who ran it first, made Kentucky jeans. James Ogden fol- lowed the military man and ‘he, too, made Jeans, but lost money on them somehow and failed. Then Joseph Shaw, Albin Staw's father, took the place and manu- factured jeans, doeskins and government kerseys all through the war. Ho made a great deal of money and, dying In 1864, he was succeeded by Isaac W. Smith, now of Bridgeport. Mr. Smith ran the mill very successfully until 1881. Tho rent he pald was $4,000 and the landlord would not make the repairs that he desired. Therefore, he gave up the mill and bullt another one in Bridgeport, which, with his sons, he s now running. The white mill has been idle nearly twenty years. It, too, has a dismal, wrecked look. The shoddy mill was built in 1868, at the time when shoddy first began to be used in manufacturing, by Henry Arthur. At the death of Arthur, John Senior leased the mill and made blankets and yarn there. ‘When his lease expired Senlor went out of business and the place has now been empty for twenty-five years. The roof has fallen in, but the “to let” sign on the wall looks tresh and new. Benjamin Rossiter, the civil war veteran, has lived in Valley Forge sixty-nine years. At Gettysburg a ball went through his body, but he is still & hale old man, with a good memory.

Flint- locks were made at the mill, and George Pawling has one of them with the mill's name cut on the stock. Mr. Rossiter's brother, P. K. Rossiter, has a smooth-bore rifle among his relics which was also made at the mill. Mr. Rossiter says that the flamo of patriotism burned strong fn Valley Forge breasts during the civil war, and that 133 young men enlisted. The woolen mill, on this account, had to shut down. After the closing of the factorles that had brought prosperity to Valley Forge the hands who had Iived there moved away. The littlo town does not expect ever to be a manufacturing center again, but since a pub- lc park is to be established on its historical | camp ground, and since a trolley line is to run through it, Valley Forge hopes to be a more flourishing place than It was in the past. All its inhabitants have collections of revolutionary relics, and the house where Washington's headquarters were is visited annually by 8,000 touris! BOY'S NARROW ESCAPB. Run Over by Fourteen Freight Cars and Was Unha Adney Edmonds, 9 years old, had a mirac- ulous escape from death yesterday, reports the St. Louls Republic. He fell between two froight ears of a moving Big Four train and after fourteen cars had passed over him he emerged unhurt. Adney's mother witnessed the accldent and as the big train’ of cars flashed past the spot where her boy had Tallen she al- | most became hysterical. As she was begging piteously for some- one to save her son, the daring youngster staggered to his feet and began wiping the dirt off his face. Mrs, Edmonds ran to him and the sight which greeted her eyes was beyond her belief. Adney cried and whim pered to his mother that he was “all right,” but this she refused to believe until the tamily physician promounced him uninjured Then she gave way to a paroxysm of mer- vousness which required the attention of all present In company with Adney and her two lit- tle daughters, Mrs, Edmonds started to walk Into Granite City In order to tity her boy's desire to see a match game of base ball, As they neared the town a passing frelght train came In sight. The engineer reduced the locomotive's speed and Adney, who, his parents say, has always been an adventure- some child, sprang from her side and at- tempted to board the thirteenth car ahead of the caboose. He succeeded, though the jump was & dangerous one, and climbed up. the ladder to a seat on top of a brake handle. Mrs Edmonds started in pursuit. Before the boy was out of her sight she experienced the harrowing sensation of seeing him tumble feet first from the dizzy perch he had occupled between the two cars. Her screams for help were drowned by the roar of the train as it again got under full sway. It was soon past and the mother hurried ahead, expecting to see the mangled torm of her boy. Instead the little chap jumped up like a Jack-in-the-box and rubbed the dust out ot | his eyes. He owed his life to his own cool- ness and bravery. But Mrs. Edmonds wouldn't bave it that way. Such an escapo appeared to her to be miraculous and {m- | possible. She put her cape around him and |'sobbed as though he would soon be beyond |the sound of ner grief. “I'm all right, | mamma; I'm not killed; don't hold me so {tight,” put in Adney. | Mrs. Edmonds was too terrified to hear | his talk. She made her way to the doctor's office and when assured that her boy was not hurt the shock was too much for her, |She required more attention than Adney. Upon recovering she made her way home in a farmer's rig that chanced to be going in her direction TOINTING A MORAL: a4 Man Reduced His Son's spanded Cranium, When our heads reach that stage when a foot tub will about fit us for a hat, says |the Louisville Times, it's a mighty good | thing to have some wise friend or rela- tive to put 'em under the pump and hold them thero until the swelling subsides. A nlce young fellow here married into a so- cloty family. His father was one of those blunt, honest sort of men who had accu- mulated a pretty good fortune by hard la- bor, and who had no nonsense in him. The young couple began pretty soon to put on fancy trimmings with the old man. He was not invited out when they had a pink tea or green breakfast, but was used to lll in the chinks. Well, the old man wouldn't have enjoyed it anyhow, for he was used to plain, substantial eating and a supper of little cakes, ice cream, one croquette, & dab of salad and a glass of frappe would floor him. When he had suppers there would be a big dish of birds, hot biscuit, pickles and preserves, coffee, old-style chicken salad and a hot punch afterward. But' the old man stood the change in the boy for a while until one day he came down home and asked him to give his wite a chiffonier, pronouncing it *chee-fon- ee-ay.” This was too much. “Get in the buggy with me,” sald the elder sternl “I want to drive you to see something The son complied, and the two drove up Green street until they came to a little, old, tumbledown cottage, much the worse for age. “There, sir,” sald the irate parent, “there's where you were born. Don't you forget it again and be talking to me about your wife's ‘schee-fong-yeas “There fa no place like home, don't care to be reminded of the one we had. How the Crack Stale Irish Jokes, The cheerful side of Chinese life 18 not confined to the nursery or to childhood, but is found In all ages and all depart- ments, as well as all ranks of life. The Chinese laboring man cracks the same stale Jokes as the son of Erin. On one occasion, while we were building the dormlitory of Pekin university, one of the masons was trying to elimb out over the basement wall instead of going up the steps, and another, standing a rod or two away, said to him: “It you come here I'll help you out,” and once when the writer was riding along at the base of the city wall a small boy run- ning across the street stumbled and fell immediately in front of the donkey. “Ah!" said a bystander, “you bend low in paying your respects to the gentleman.” The following story is told of two Chinese laborers who were digging a well: Mr. Chang sent Mr. Lee down into the well to dig while he sat on top and directed the labor. He first directed Mr. Lee to “dig on this side,” then “dig on that side,” until the latter, tired of both the work and the directions, retorted: ‘“‘You sit up there and chew your tongue, while I bave to do all the work " ‘One man here giving directions, Mr. Chang, “can do as much as ten men down there.” With which Mr. Lee threw down his pick and climbed up beside Mr. Chang. “What are you dolng here?' inquired the latter “Two men up here,” answered Mr. Lee, “can do as much as twenty men down there." egram.)—When the McBride case was taken up this morning the defense argued its motion to prevent McBride testifying as to the reason why he gave the bill of sale of his printing office to Dr. Warne. The court ruled that he could answer. McBride stated that to save tumult and bloodshed and that he was In fear of his life that he made tho tramsfer. McBride was cross- examined on some other matters and after the testimony of several witnesses to cor- roborate previous testimony and the ia- troduction of plotures of the Interior of the Mall office after its destruction the plaintift rested his side of the case. The first step in the def. was th introduction of seventy-six coples of the Mitchell Mail. This was strenuously ob- Jected to by Judge Alken, but the court ruled that the papers could be put i evi- dence to show the ground for acts of the defendants. Attorney Kittredge took up the time until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon reading articles from the paper. Court adjourned at that hour until tomorrow morning.

Boston Glohe The proprietor satd: “Last fall whon the United States government sold all of the old cannon balls and solld shot which for 8o many years were plled in pyramids along the main street of the navy yard at Charlestown we purchased a lot of them with Iittle thought of converting them into anything besides pig fron. But a few weeks after we had stored them here I overheard A quarry-owner complaining of the slow- ness and uncertainty of the old system of steel wedging used in getting out huee blocks of granite and atter a bit of thought 1 suggested the use of cannon balls in the place of the stecl wedges. We sent about twenty of various tizes and welghts out to his quarry, and after the first trial he hurried a team In here with a note that read: “‘Tried the cannon balls; Send fitty more; have wedres away.’ ““The experfence of this man led us t send the cannon balls and solid shot t other quarry operators, and within the las month the orders have heen coming in so they are It thrown the stee stock on hand. “The method used In gotting out great cubes or monollths from the granite and marble quarries has been to drive stecl wedges along the line of the lower portion of the split made by a blast until the great chunk of atone topples over on its face "It required a deal of time and a number of men with big iron sledges and steel wedges to separate these cubes from the quarry wall from which they had beem started by the blast. ““The method now pursued with the can- non balls s to start the block of stone away by a slicht blast and then between the quarry face and the block several of the smaller solid shot, usually the four- inch sort, are dropped down {nto the aperture. Two men with crowbars give the block a Ilittle shake and the instant the block moves In the slightest manner for- rd the shot takes up their ‘purchase’ on the space made, when the large cannon balls, some measuring fourteen or fifteen Inches and welghing 200 or 300 pounds, are dropped into the top of the gap. Now the slightest outward jar by levers on the big stone sends these heavy cannon balls drop- ping downward of their own weight, until, with an easy forward movement, the cube goes over on its face. ““These shot do away with any driving of necessity thelr great weight In pro- portion to thelr size forces them down- ward and thelr form prevents any chance of backward setting of the block. ‘These cannon balls are also used as roll- ers, as they take up and go over the in- equalities of the auarry surface and can he rolled in' any direction without resetting, thus doing away with the old-style wooden rollers, . “They are also used to smother heavy clearing-out blasts. Heavy rope mats are thrown over the surface where the blast bas been set and these eannon balls are thrown on the mats.” —_— e PRINTERS QUIT FARMING, “Big S$1x's” Potate Pateh Jersey Abandoned.

They Cannot Live in the Waters of Great Salt Lake. Some time ago, relates the New York Sun, the United States fisheries commis slon thought it would be a good idea to stock Great Salt Lake with useful sea ani- mals 1f it was found that they could live in its waters. There was considerable doubt that the project was practible, for it was belleved that the excessive salinity of the lake might be unfavoratlo for sea life. How- ever that might be, it was thought to be worth while, at any rate, to investigate the matter. So Mr. H. F. Moore was sent to Utah to gce If the lake would make a good home for sea animals. If his report were favor- able there was certainly an opportunity for an important immigration of the denizens of the ocean to these inland waters. The lake is about 100 miles long with an aver- age wldth of twenty-seven miles and to large a body of water would give plenty of leeway for a good many thousands of animals. Mr. Moore's report has been submitted to the commission and it ls so unfaver- ablo to the proposed project that no attempt will be made to introduce sea life into this supersalted water. Mr. Moore found that in those parts of the lake which received the main supplies of fresh water and were consequently less sallne than the other waters, some seca crabs and Insects may live and some of the lower forms of vege- tation flourish, but the proposition of salt in tho larger part of the lake is too great to be favorable for any form of sea life. The lake receives not only fresh water from the mountain streams, but numerous salt or brackish springs also contribute an un- usually large quantity of mineral matte 80 that while the specific gravity of ocean water, on an average, is only 1.025 that of Great Salt Lake is 1.168. The lake waters are unfavorsble for sea life, not because of their quality, which does not differ In chemical constitutents from the waters of the ocean, but because of the enormous amount of salt held In solution. Commerclal enterprises are now taking from the lake about 42,000 tons of salt every year. It might be thought that this enor- mous withdrawal of salt from the lake would before a very great while reduce the waters to the specific gravity of sea water, When this point s reached conditions may bo attained that will probably bo favors ble for sea life in Utah's great lake. Mr. Moore, however, does not encourage the idea that this transformation can be reached for a great many generations to come. It is estimated that the amount of salt added to the lake every year by the waters which pour fnto it is 16,000 tons. In other words, half the quantity of salt that is now withdrawn from the lake every year fs made good to the lake by the fresh supplies recelved. Computations based on the pres- ent specific gravity of the lake lead to the Bound Brook, N. J., on which it obtained a lease In 1890. The farm, which was situated In the Raritan valley, about thirty-one miles from this city, comprised 186 acres. Here it was hoped that the wards of the union would be able to earn enough by a moderate amount o labor to live comfortably. with the addi- tion of the small allowance which the union makes' to them. But those expectations have not been realized. After ‘the farm had been leased about forty or fifty men wero sent down to oc- cupy it. These were divided Into two classes—the wuperannuated printers, for whose malntenance the unfon pays $3 a week and those out of work, who recelve an allowance of $60 a year. Everything necessary for the successful cultivation of the soll was freely provided, together with an abundance of live stock. For living quarters the men had a fine old manor house, In which Mrs. Farquhar, a printer's widow, was fnstalled as house- keeper. Each man had about an acre and a quarter of land set apart for him to work. The men rose at § o'clock on each working day and went to the old-fashioned well for | thelr ablutions, At 7 o'clock they break- | fasted. Then they worked in the flelds Dinner was served at noon and during the afternoon the men worked long cnough to complete an elght-hour day. Then came supper and games and other quiet forms of amusement, An investigation of the results by “Big Six" proved unsatisfactory and the farm has been abandoned. wiliow sPRINGS BISTILLERV, | OMAHA, U.5.A, WO CURE, NO FA: 1f you are sexually weak, uude veloped or have drains, varicocele, ste., our Local Vaeuum Developer i restore you without drugs or electricity; .08 In uge, not one urned ; no 0.0, 0 fraud; write for aled 10 pi NERVE VRN G marrteg b o uscn sioped, ta i Blieriian & McConnelin. ruggiets or mafied by Nerve B ) ain & C a Lay BB ) the | BUFFET LIBRARY CARS __ Bus!
