Such extensions would be a great public benefit. In considering them the pre ent Aldermen should remember they are members of a reformed body and are not elected to take every railroad im- provement by the throat after the ex- ample of thelr predecessors and bid it “stand and deliver." Any temporary facilities that will reaily help the public on the Klevated | railroads ought also to be conceded for immediate conventence. But nothing should be allowed to interfere with the steady pushing of the work of real rapid transit. A MADMAN’S RIDE. Just before the Boston express reached Chatham iast Saturday night the engl- neer and fireman were astonished by the appearance of a man who rushed sud- denly upon them and drove them from the cab before they had time to defend themselves. It was a strange place for an attack by road agents, and (he idea that the train was being “held up" as soon set at rest by the actlon of the in- truder, who made a rush for the throttle, breaking several ginssen and steam. Gauges with « mad desire to make the train fly faster, The impatient individual was found to be Dr. Barney, the house surgeon of u Boston hospital, a passenger on the train. He was quickly overpowered and put under restraint. If he had succeeded in his attempt there would have been | @ smash-up at the Chatham station. Ax it was no damage was done, and the passengers were not aware of the in- cident until the train stopped, A rail- road train at full headway ix a risky place for the performances of a lunatic THE BIRD OF ROMAN MEMORY.

Later, batking | lar. horses compelied a party of gay sleigh- ers to walk several miles home through storm and snow. After that something happened with almost daily regularity to fill a stick or two of type in the ‘ew York newspapers with Interesting ronicles of the Kolngs on in Bloom- fleld, N. J. The latest item from the centre of | Jersey excitement concerns a letter- rrier who had to fight his way through a flock of geese there the other day, and barely escaped with his life and bag of letters, The geese met him on the roadway, surrounded him and began biting large holes in his clothes. He knocked them over with his mall Pouch, but they came at him again and again, and he was about to die at his pont, as it were, when he suddenly thought of running away, which he did with great ruccess. We are not told the day on which this fight and filght took place, but tt wan probably last Thursday, and the Keene were merely in a hurry ty get some valentines they were expecting. The National Council of Women at ‘ashinaton, which begins to-day, brings together the brightest minds of the nex in this whole continent. All professions and every line of thought, trade, politics and philanthrophy are represented. There are many Sandowesque intellects in the gathering and hundreds of women of tremendous will and purpone, but wé wouldn't Ike to guenn at the number of them that would remain in their neats or refrain from climbing on desks and gathering their skirts into hard handfuls If a tiny little mouse were to take the floor at one of their aossions.
