In the Senate on Thursday bills were in

provide, in connection with other nations.

retire the greenbacks." Mr. Call, of Florida,
addressed the Senate in behalf of the Cubaos.
He says Spain's wa: fare is disgraceful. "It
is merciless and in disregard of age, sex and
condition. Spain and England r:tognized
the Confederacy as a belligerent power, and
why should not the United States recognize
the Cubans as entitled to the rights of strug
g!ing patriots?" The Senate then adjourned
until 3ionday.
The Senate held a session cf a few minutes
Saturday, but the House did not meet. Many
members of both bodies went home to stay

The House refused to adjourn at first, but,
efter learning of the Senate's action. renon
sidered the motion. The Senate also re

news that the house would be in session
was received. Neither body learned of the
final decision of the other until the adjourn

A Girl Ditches a Runaway Train
Stranc rescue at Sea-Impris,
oned in a Water Tank.
S PEAKIG of exneriences or
the railroad," said a New orli
t.aveling man to a Wrashinztor
Star writer, "I had a slighi
scrape one time on a mountain road it
Tennessee that may be worth the har
ing. We were coming clown a
long grade of ten miles in a mixed
train. That is, we had a gondola
loa'ied with ties as the' end car.
with our two passen;e coaches
end baggage car, and I should say we
were matin; about twenty miles an
hour on a track that would b. treat
ing us very kindly if it didn't sling u
into eternity if we dared to add five
miles an hcur to our speed, when I
hapoened to look out of the rear door
and saw a wild train of loaded coal
cars swinging down after us. They
had evidently started at a tipple which
we had passed only a few mi;,utes be
fore, and when I saw them they were
just about under headway.
"At least, they were going so fast
that they distanced the men on the
ground, who made a run to get on and
stop further flight. I made a wild
rush for the conductor, but before I
reached him he had ordcred the en
gineer to let out his engine for all she
was worth, and in this way keep ahead
of our chasers. Fortunately we had
no women aboar3, and the men could
be ke't in better control, though it
was all we c:mld do to keep them from
jamping off.
"It was only a short time until we
began to see that our salvation lay in
the pursuing train flying the track,
becatse we had reached our hmit, and
our train was swaying and tossing so
that everybody was scared out of his
wits. I know I was, and I just sat in
my seat and held on, waiting and lis
tening to the thunder of the train be
hind us, which was not five hundred
yards away. and gaining every sec
ond. It was far heavier than ours,
and I kem that if anybody went o"
the track it wasn't going to be the coal
train. I saa a moment ago we had no
women aboard. I meant we had none
to speak of.
'There was one, but she was a
homely mountain girl, who didn't
seem to know anything, and because
she sat ouniet in the corner and didn't
scream, we thought she didn't amount
to enough to count. I was looking at
her in a dazed kind of a way, when all
f a sudden she lit out of her seat as
if she had been shot out of it, and,
knocking everybo:iy out of the way,
she dashed out of the rear door before
anybody could touch her., and we
though; she had jumped oh', but she
adn't. She jumped for the onen car.
banging on likre a cat, until she got to
the far end of it, and in a second she
was tumbliiig those ties off at the rate
of a dozen a secon.
"They would hit the trb.ok and
bounce every which way, but she kept
piling them off, the coal train getting
closer every second, and at last a
couple of them stuck up in a cattle
guard, and the next thing we knew
there was a terrifie crash, rails ani
ties and tracks and coal cars .tew, and
the coal train rolled over itself and
r-at down the hill in a heao. By
George, as that girl stood there in her
lain calico dress and her old subon
net and watched that train pile up at
her feet, I thought that Joan of Arc,
Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Grace
Dariig and the lot of them weren't a
patching to her, and,as far as we were
concerned, they weren't.
"She had saved our train and our
lives, and we took her on with-us in
triumph. Then we made up a purse
for her big enough to buy a farm with,
and I'll bet she's got more good
lothes and jewelry and books and
trinkets and things than any girl in
the mountains, for we never forget
her. She doesn't quite appreciate
sor e of the fine things she has, but
what do we care for that; we appree
,te her just the same," and the Star
man could scarcely refrain from ris
ing and giving a whoop or 'iwo for the
mountain lassie of Tennessee.
Strange Rescue at Sea.
The American schooner Star of the
Sea, Captain Hopkins, arrived at New
York one day recently from Obisbotm
sland, S. C.. with a cargo of phos
phate rook for the St. He!ena Phos
phate Company, of Elizabeth, N. .T.
aptain Hopkins reported that iou'r
ays previously he sighted an object
n the water.
The schooner was running free at
he time and the Captain had the
heel. He hailed his mate and steered
or the object. Thre mate soon an
ounced that the object was a man,
apparently standing in the water, wav
ing a dark object. In twenty minutes'
time the schooner was abreast of the
man.
A boat was thrown ovt'ooard, and
two of the crew after some difficulty
succeeded in bringing him on board.
The castaway had no clothes on but a
pair of trousers and held his coat in
his hand. He said he was Benjamiiu
. Week-s, aged thirty years, of Wil
mington, N. C., a seaman of the
American schooner Harry S. Lord, Jr.
Weeks stated that the vessel left
Fort Libert:y, Hayti, on Occober 1.2
mth a cargo of logwood for New Yo.rk.
On the morning of October 23 the
schooner was struck by a sgaall. She
became waterlogged, ar-d the seas
washed continuously over her. Weeks
was washed overboard several times,
but succeeded in swimming back to
the wreck.
The water in the schooner's hold
burst oK flie top of the cabin, which
washed away. Weeks swam to this and
clambered on top of it, clinging to a
sklight.
The wreck drifted away and nothing
could be seen of it u-ti! the folio wing
morniug, when Weeks found himself
in its immtediate v'einity. He saw his
comrades on the wreck and was with
in haning distance uintil night, when
it again drifted away.
The following day Weeks saw noth
ing of the wreck or his messmates, and
despaired of his own fate. With his
feet through the skyhight. : ~nich he
ung with both hands, the sea wash
ing over him, he sat throughout the
day and succeeding nisht without
food or water.
The next day was bright and clear.

again apparently running away from
him. He jumped to his feet and waved
his coat frantically unii he saw that
he was obs-rvev.
Captain Hopkins, after hearing hia
story, sailed about for a long time in
search of the wreck, but failet to fin-d
it. He saw a steamship stopped about.
ten miles off to the eastward and con
ciuded that it was probahe that the
wreck had been seen by her people.
Imprisoned in a Water Tank,
Wh rbiie you're talkin, about narrow
escapes from horrible deaths jntd let
me till mine," remarked a well-known
capita!ist. "I had about as tough an
experience right in this city as a ma
ever had, but I cot ont all right, and
few nreople ever heard of it.
"One day I was up on the rCof of a
building I own in Pin. street, ja.
looking it over to see that it wa. an
right. I clirbed up and looked into
oue of the big wter tanks in the beild
in', and seeing a dead sparrow float
ing on the surface of the water, bent
over to take it out. I lost my balane
and fell in. The water in the tauk
came rit up to ray chin when I
stood on rmy feet and the top of the
tank was tLree feet above my head.
The water was running all the ti me,
and I could see that it usually stood
about a foot hi_her than where it was.
It occurred to me that unless I got
out pretty auick or turned of= the
water I would be drowned;
"I soo; found that getting out
without help was next to impossible,
so I got out my pocket knife and went
Ito work cut;ing a boe in the side of
the tank as low down as I could work
and keep my head above water. Cat.
ting through three inches of pine was
no easy Job. Tha water wa slowly
rising, and before I got a hole through
the side of the tauk I was standing on
tip toe with just my nose out of the
water and every blade broken out of
my knife.
"I made the hole big enough so that
the water ran right down to its level.
And the next thing was to get out. It
was impossible to climb out without
assistance, and I couldn't cut my way
out with a broken pea-knife. I knew
I must nttract some one's attention. I
iuled oCf my shirt, tore itintostrings,
tied my lead pencil to my knife and
both to the toe of one of my shoes,
and then putting my undershirt on
the pencil waved it slowly an I ia
boriouely over the top of the tank. I
waved for hours su. still no one
"then it occurred to me to dira
down and stop up the pipe leading
i oml the tank to attract atten ion. It
w,sn't half an hour till people came
u.) to sea why tha water would not
run, and . wa; helped oat after I had
been standing inl the cold water os-er
six hourr. "-San Francisco Post.

lish ofnaar, Lieutenant Vanderzee,
who was on a twelve months' leave of

the hin'd 1eg, immediately tarne i and
galloped in the direction of the spor ts

to despatch a couple more bullets at
the rapidly advancing beast at 203
yards and 1037ards, each bullet lode

him to the groandi. Here the Lse;x

To Love tIer Seemns Fa tal.
A drummer who arrived yesterday
from Phonix, Arizona, teils of a girl
who has lost by death three men to
whom she was succaively engaged.
In the first instance the youth, to
whom she had been betrothed for a
rear anda a half, expired on the ve-r.y
eve of the wedding. In. the second,
another young man, to Whom she had
been engaged soon aft.er the melan
choly event, died a few days before
the miarriage, and his successor in her
affections has now sh::red a simnilar
fate.
It se-emsthat sundry ancient femnales
of the neighborhmod, attributing this
series of calnamiLies to the ieet that the
young woman had the "evil eye,"
have calmly suggested that the only
remedy to be fouud is burning her
alive. On that score there need be
no fear, cf acurse, but the general
opinion is that her chances of meeting
with at fourth suitor are now infini
tesimal.
The unlucky g.;i is described by
the Tombstane Epitaph as being of an
amiable and sympathetic disp:o.sition,
an s beh:g, moreover. of very at
trctive apprarnm.

lips of persons who had been benefited by Ihe
use of them. Speal:inn of her own intetest
ing e'xperiecae, Mrs. Gehrke said:
"A little ov"r a year ago I was completely
broken down. 1 hal been taking medicine
from a docter1i ut grew worse and worse un
til I could searcely no about at all. The
least eardon or the mere binding of my
bodiy would cause me to have smothering
spells, and the suffering was terribl-. 1
thought it was caused by my heart. When
eve,'thing elSe had failed to r-'lieve me and
I had .given un all hopes of ever being ay
thn but a he!pl"ss Invalid. I c'hanced to
real r-ome testrmonials In thc Farmn, Field

andi the suffering or the pe~op e who made
thessatrme'nts were so nearly like the suffer
ing 1 lha'ld" coared tiat when .1 real that they
wee so ereatly benefited by the use of Dr.
Wiiiianis Pink Pills for Pat- Pcople I 'lid
not hesitate to go at once and pur -hase
two boxes. I took themn according to direc
tions and L&orc-thn first box was used I felt
a good bit better. Ibally the first dose ,on
vluced me that it was a great remedy. Be
fore th two boxes were used up I sent my
husband after thr.-e more boxes, so I would
not be without them. When I had use
lhese threir boxes I felt like a different wo
man and thought I was almost cured.
"Since that irme I have been taking them
whenever I beran. to feel badly. When I be
gan taking Dr. Wi-liams' Pink Pills for Pa'e
People. I weighedl en y 113 pounds and after
I had ben uising the medicine for about six
months I weighed 122 pounds. I have had a

Flower Ghosts.
"Any child who wishes to see the ghost
of a flower has only to make a very sim
ple experiment. Let him go up to a
cluster of blossoms and look very in
tently for s3veral minutes at one side
of it. Then very suddenly he must
t.rn his gaze upon the other side of
the same cluster. He will at once dis
tinetly sce a faint and delicte circle
of colored light around this second half
of the cluster. The light Is always in
the hue which Is "complimentary" to
that of the flower. The specter of the
scarlet poppy Is of a greenish white.
The ghost of the primrose is purple.
The ghost of the blue fringed gentian
Is of a pale gold tint. In these circles
of color the shapes of the flower's pet
als are always faintly but clearly seen.

It Was an Outrage.
Of Bishop Bathursr, who was a great
whist player, it is reported that on
hearing the name of a new appoint
~nent in the chapter there w:s wrung
from his the passionate exelamation:
"I hae served the Whigs all my .ife,
and now they send me down a canon
who doesn't know clubs from spades!"
Some say that the hypo
phosphites alone are sufficient
to .prevent and cure consump
tion, if taken in time. With
out doubt they exert great
good in the beginning stages;
they improve the appetite, prow
mote digestion and tone up
the nervous system. But they
lack the peculiar medicinal
properties, and the fat, found
in cod-liver oil, The hypo
phosphites are -valuable and
the cod-liver oil is valuable.
s A
of Cod-liver Oil, vr-ith hypo
phosphites, contains both of
these in the most desirable
form. The oil is thoroughly
emulsified ; that is, partly di
gested. Seritive stomachs
can bear an emulsion when
the raw cii cannot be retained.
As the hypophosphites, the
medicinal maents in the oil,
and the fat itseif are each good,
why not have the benefit of
all? This combination has
stood the test of twenty years
and has never been equalled.
