Pittsburg Girl In Male Garb Mistaken For a Negro Miscreant and All but Hanged by Mob Before She Could Disclose Her, Identity. Catherine Rooks, a handsome ath letic girl Of twenty-three, is back at her parents' home, 9 Bedford street, Pittsburg, declaring that never again will she disguise herself as a man. A mob mistook her for a negro, placed a rope about her neck and was lynching her when she gave a terrific scream, such as only a woman can give, and made known her sex. Miss Rooks' brother Is si .k in Chi cago and had begged her to come to like a bag of meal to the nearest tree. "Have you any prayers to make?'' asked the leader of the mob. The girl tried to speak, but could not. "Say your prayers!" commanded the leader. The girl was mute. "Let her go, boys!" shouted the lead er to the other men. The men at the end of the rope began to pull, and Miss Rooks was half lifted from the ground. Then she found, her voice and screamed, not once, but doz 'HAVE l'OU ANY PRAYERS TO MAKE?" ASKED THE LEADER. / him. She had no money for railroad fare, but believed that she could beat her way on freight trains disguised as a man. She took a suit of clothes be longing to her uncle and, wadding her hair under a cap, started forth. She had reached New Castle about the time a negro who bad fatarfly stabbed his wife was being pursued by a mob. In the darkness the mob thought Miss Rooks was the negro. Her faee was blackened from dust and coal, and when she fled the mob was very cer tain she was the man wanted. She ran, but the mob overtook her, and before she could explain a rope was thrown about her neck, and she was dragged ens of times. The mob loosened the hold on the rope, and Miss Rooks sank in a heap, sobbing. "There's some mistake, boys," said the leader. "This ain't a nigger. \t's a girl. Well, I'll be"? Miss Rooks was released and her face washed. Her hair had become loosened and fallen down her back. The leader spoke again. "It's a white girl, too," he said. Miss Rooks then told her story. She was sent to Youngstown for the rest of the night, and then, properly array ed, she was taken to her home. "It's very dangerous being a man," she said.

The halt which has come to rail road construction in the South in consequence of agitation threatening Investments in railroads promises to occasion serious hindrances to agri culture, manufactures and commerce. At the very time when industry In all Its branches was expanding with wonderful vigor and rapidity, de manding greater and greater facili ties 'or traffic, and while the rail roads were doing their utmost to meet those requirements, came the flood of legislation to cut down the profits of the corporations just when they v/ere mo3t needed; needed, too, for expenditures to supply necessary track equipment and other facilities for transporting people and freight In the advancement of the business interests of the country. But that was not all the evil wrought by such laws. They check ed in its flow toward the South, money so much demanded for devel opment of new railroad and other en terprises and have caused a halt to progress. Had there been any gen eral and substantial outcry against the railroads for widespread injustice in their freight or passenger traffic some excuse might have been found for the passage of regulatory acts, but there was little such agitation, and therefore the conclusion is forced upon tne observer that the responsibility for the passing ol such laws lies mainly with the com paratively few politicians, inspired by selfish motives, perhaps of a re taliatory nature. Yet It is to the future that one must look for the worst effect of these laws. Commerce and industry are making greater demands upon the railroads for adequate facilities, Dut the companies are hard pressed for money, and orders for new cars and engines have fallen off tremen do .s:y as compared with last year, al though there has not been any letup In the rush of freight, and most ol the roads are handling more business than ever. Necessarily there must come r. time when another great congestion of t?afflc will occur, caus ing both em >arrassment and loss to various branches of human enter prise and labor. The money to pro vide these things which the railroads need is not to be had except at pro h.bit've rates of interest, and bor rowing has *.o be done by means of shor time azotes for meeting press ing requirements. The outcome of such conditions is plain enough. It might be easier had not labor and everything else which the railroads need advanced in cost, but these in creases in operating expenses, cou pleu with decreased earning power v idjj the new laws, have put the companies at their wits' end for the handling of their finances. To sum it up the situation Is this: The railroads need more fu:ads to moet the needs of their patrons. Rates of interest demanded by cap ital are higher than ever for rail road enterprises; too high fof the railroads to afford. How, then, can they prevent another congestion of triffic and loss to business??From tue Manufacturers' Record. Royal Simple Life. King Oscar of Sweden got up be tween 8 and half-past 8, dressing with the help of a valet. He took coffee in the breakfast room togeth er with the Queen, with whom he set tled any* family matters, and read the morning papers. By 10 o'clock i King was ready for business. On Tuesday he held an open reception. On Monday, the court, official, mili tary and civil dignitaries had the pas. Tho King devoted Wednesday and Thursday to reviews and mili tary Inspections, but particularly to audiences and jresentation of per sons promoted to offices of honors. Cn Friday the Swedish Council of S te took place. Saturday was for merly devoted to Norway and to the Swedish Norwegian Council of State. At half-past 2 the roya.l pair took luncheon, consisting of a cup of soup, a warm or cold course, a glass of ale, or a glass of Marsala. After that the King walked out or rode in the modern manege in the new royal stables, then to business, correspond ence, &c, in his study. At 6 o'clock the King, Queen, and persons in at t dance dined in the blue drawing room The sort of dinner most of ten served was soup, fish, greens, a 6teah and dessert, with three sorts of wine. On feast and parade days :>n entremet3 was added and a glass of champagne. It oftened happen ed, however, that the King, with his simple taste, preferred for himself two colt coursos""br a vegetable and meat, leaving everything else in touched. After dinner the King was won'1 to attend the theatres or Free masons' lodges, nr else he stopped at home and listened to music by the Queen or the ladies in attendance. Supper was soon over; it usually con sisted merely of a cup of soup. The K.nr then retired to his study, sign ing incoming papers and seldom go ing to bed before 1 o'clock.?Lon dun Truth.

HEALS .OLD SOSES No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular spot; if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being; constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter anct. irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germa in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again' the cause may be'hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity; but whatever the cause, the fact that; the sore will notheal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment Every symptom suggests pollution and disease?the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous, forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have ho real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble I want to recommend S. S. S. to any who are in need of a blood purifier/and especially as a remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. In 1877 I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suffered with the place. I tried, it seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of, but I got no relief and I thought I would have to ?.o through life with an angry, discharging sore on my leg. At last I began the use of S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw that the place was improving. I continued it until it removed all the poison from my blood and made a complete and permanent cure of J the sore. JNO.
