ENCOUNTER WITH A TRAMP.:
Thrilling Experience of a Yoan? Woman
Operator at a Lonely Railway Station. -
Erie, Pa., June 29. Miss IdaWakely.the
handsome young night telegraph operator
at Swanville station on the Nickel-plate
railroad, is the heroine of a irribly
thrilling encounter. Before Miss Wakely
took the position at the little out-of-the-'
way country station, on Saturday night
she realized the dangers to which
she would be exposed from tramps who fol

So she had not onlv armed
herself, but practiced until she
became an expert with the
revolver. Shortly after midnight, at an
hour when there are onlv a few trains, the
young woman heard some one at the door.
and a second later a villainous
face appeared at thi window. The fel
low demanded admittance and was ro
fused. whereunon he threw a lump of
coal through the window and then made
a clash for the opening. Just then Miss
akely flashed her revolver and ordered
the intruder to retreat. - He stopped to
parley, saying: "You would not shoot."
aiio uiuvo young woman took uenueraie
aim, but the tramp drew a knife.'
While Miss Wakely held at bay
the desperado with her ' . revolv
er in one hand, she used,, i the
other hand to call the next station", where
a tram was side-tracked, and to her
joy sho caught the operator, whom she in- .
formed of her dilemma. The engine was
detached, and with the crew aboard, ran
to her rescue. While the crew were
coming to the young woman's re
lief the burglar tried to induce her to
hand over the contents of the safe and
mado blood-curdling threats, but when
the engine with the crew turned a sharp
curve he ran awav in time to escape
lynching. The night of terror was too
much for Miss Wakely, and when relieved'
by the day operator she fainted.
TIIE SILVER DOLLAK.
A Laboring Man Gives Good Reasons In Op
position to f ree Coinage.
New York Star.
1 met one of tho leaders of the Labor
party in this city yesterday, and bad a talk
with him about the silver bill. I was sur
prised at lirst to lind that be is stoutly op
posed to the unlimited coinage of silver, or
even to its increased coinage. I was sur
prised because the advocate of the silver
bill have been claiming that the working
men above all others demanded that money
should be cheap and plenty. I was not so
much surprised after my Labor friend had
got through talking, and be assured rue
that his views are shared by the rest of the
leaders of the Labor party in this city.
Said he: "There never was a time in the
history of the world when the purchasing.
power of money was so great in connection
with the earning power of a workingman.
For instance, we will say that a good me
chanic now earns $3 a day. With that $3
he can buy food and clothing at lower
prices than at any time sinco 1859, and in
1859 a good mechanic could not earn more
than $i a day. Now. it is conceded by all
men informed on the subjects of currency, J
ana iraue main me 0111 wuicn nas passed

in a few weeks be at a premium of 25
per cent. What would that mean? An in
crease of 25 per cent, in the price of all pro-:
visiuusnuunuiuiug. r or my owu pari, a.
believe that gold would be at a premium of
50 per cent in a year after the passage of
the silver bill. 1 hat would mean flour at
$10 or $11 a barrel instead of $7, and
everything else.in proportion. Rents would
go up. too. Would waees be advanced in
correspondence with tho advance in prices?
Not much. Past experience proves that
they would not. During. the war when
gold was 250 or.moro, 4 or $4.50 was all a
good mechanic could get in the depreciated
paper currency. Flour at that time was
nearly $20 a barrel and all the other neces
saries of life at the same rate. Wages gp
up. of course, when money is cheap--and
plenty, but they do not go up asnicli astha
prices of necessities do. Workingmen got
Higher pay that is, tbey got more dollars,
such as they were during the war, when
gold was at a high premium, than they do
now. but its purchasing power was not near
ly as great. You could not buy nearly as
niucn ior.'jo as you can now buy for $3.
No: workingmen do not want any monkev-
intr with the currency of the country in
order that speculation may flourish, and
embarrassed corporations may be enabled
to pay their debts at the expense of their
creditors. Workingmen want good pay for
their work, and they want their pay in dol
lars which have the largest possible phr-'
chasing power, lhatisthe situation now.
and they do not want it changed for the
worse.77 . ...
"Will the labor organizations , move
against the silver bill now pending in Con
gress?" I asked.
"They will if there should be any danger
of its passage. Very lively action will be
had soon, at any rate. The Question has
already been discussed informally by labor
men. and it will be taken up again next
ounday."

Mine Horror at Monmouth Averted by the
Pronvpt Rescue of Imprisoned Men.
4 frvf."kT-.TTr ''TriTiA A hnrrnr wa
averted here yesterday by prompt and vig
orous action of four brave men. The tile
works, located a mile east of the city, was
the scene of the disaster. An explosion of
gas at the foot of the new shaft, ninety feet
deep, ignited the engine-house at the top,
and the wooden structures about were soon
ablaze. The shaft was soon filled with
smoke, and the sixteen men imprisoned be
low were obliged to seek shelter in the
furthermost recesses of the mine, where
they lay down on their faces to keep from
suffocating. There seemed no means of es
cape, and the cries of the mothers, wives
and daughters were heart-rending. Four
men volunteered to go to their comrades'
rescue, and were let down an old, disused
shaft. Armed with picks, axes, and spadea,
they dug an entrance through a six-foot
wall of earth, and one by one the nearly
suffocated men crawled through the small
passage-way over the burning debris, and
were hoisted up. When the last one was
rescued a shout of joy went np from the
many hundreds who were gathered at the
spot. Some of the men were more dead
than alive when rescued, but all will re

See to the Calves.
Iowa State Register.
Where butter is sold to the storekeeper
for very low prices be good to the calves
and push ttwm along .toward the export
6teamer. By nomeaus get discouraged with
the dairy and sacrifice the cows. This de
pression will cease, and if it continues, you
cannot farm successfully without the cows.
Lean toward beef if you have good cattle,
and if you have not, then get better blood.
Whoever quits keeping cows, all must not.
This is the natural home of the cow. We
have expected this. There is so much ter
ritory in our Nation where dairying can
be pnriued and beef-making cannot be,
profitably, that there is tooo much lean
ing in tne dairy direction. Save all the
cahes. make them first-rate, and yon
will not miss the butter price so much
as if you had no beet prospect, we con
cede that the dairy has paid well lately,
but that very fact has turned hosts to
dairying. Many times we have contended
that dairymen were neglecting the possi
bilities of beef in connection with the
dairy, and urged more care in breeding for
calves. We were met with the dairy spe
cialist, who looked no further ahead than
the end of his nose; met with the Governor
Hoard school, who are not content to half
do things themselves, but roust missionate

belt It is a subject that has been argued
in our breeders' meetings often; but butter
sold high and dairymen looked no further.
Now they must. The late retiring Com
missioner Sherman, at Hampton, last fall,
called attention to the necessity of making
more of the calf. Many farmers do now,
but not alL Good beef pays and will pay.
Lean toward it. It may be that it will be
some time before butter is high again.
Meanwhile make good exports of the calves,
good hogs, and let the butter bring what it
wilL Wo learn from these experiences.
Scientific Farming.
New England Farmer.
Scientific farming is all "bosb." writes an
esteemed correspondent, who has given con
siderable attention to tbe study and practice
of agriculture. I do not think hemeans what
he says, or if so, he gives other than the
tine definition to the term scientific. A col
lege graduate once came to me with his
pockets full of figures from text-books,
showing just how many pounds of al
buminoids and carbohydrates a cow requires
each twenty-four hours; just how much of
these is contained in a ton of fodder; just
how many tons could be grown per acre;
what the cost would be, and what great
profits would come from milk raised on
scientific principles.
His plan was thoroughly scientific as far
as it went, but unscientific in omitting cer
tain essentials; just as the mechanical en
gineer would be but partially scientific,
who figured on the abstract weight and
strength of materials, and made no allow
ance for friction.
I asked the young man what allowance
he had mado for bad seasons, late springs,
severe drought, long storms, killing frosts,
bad seed, mishaps among bis cows, poor
f urchases, epidemic abortion, or accidents,
le had made none, and after considering
my questions he figured again. The result
was that he concluded he could make
money more 6nrely in some other way. No
college can eyer teach a boy how to buy a
cowormanage hired men. Scientific farm
ing is as much "bosVasisscientificnaviga
tion, the principles of which are gained
from books, but the practice on the water.
Paris green is death to the potato-beetle.
but not to tbe black squash-bug. The
knowing why is scientifio knowledge. Tho
potato-beetle eats tbe leaf and the poison on
its surface. The squash-bug poshes his
sucking-tube into the substance of tbe leaf
and sucks the juices of the plant. Is this
kind of scientifio knowledge all lost?
Farmer A. has been feeding a half-peck
of cotton-seed meal to each of his cows,
with the most satisfactory results. Farmer
B. hears about it and does the same, but
with opposite results. His cows' udders
become m darned, the milk diminishes,
some lose their appetite and grow poor.
The scientific explanation is that Farmer
A. had been feeding with the meal only the
'cheapest and poorest coarse fodder, such as
bog hay, grain straw and poorly preserved
corn stover, while Farmer B. had been giv
ing his cows all the best quality of early
CUt English hay (largely, clover), which
hey would eat. A.'s cows wore not getting
in the cheap fodder what a cow in milk
must have, and needed the cotton seed
meal to balance it, B.'s cows wero getting
with their rich and abundant bay a nat
ural food and enough of it without tho
meal. When the latter was added it soon
acted as a clog to the digestive organs.
Tho chemist may not be able to milk a
cow, bnt he may be competent to tell bis
farmer brother many things about the ud
der that the farmer needs to know. ' My
correspondent referred to, clashes straw
with sawdust, and pronounces both com
paratively valueless, bnt our agricultural
chemists have learned that the stomach of
an animal may digest woody fiber and sus
stain life upon it. ,
On the Cultivation of the Affections.
July Scribner.
It is a common remark in extenuation of
the inconvenience of not having very much
money that people of ordinary fortune can
eat as much as millionaires; and if we find
that we can love as easily and as extensive
ly on small incomes as on greater
ones, we may safely consider that
we have the better of the rich again.
Perhaps we can; wealth offers so many di
versions that sometimes thepleasure there
is in loving is overlooked. The impression
certainly exists that great riches have a
tendency to clog the aff ections; and great
inequalities of fortune are a barrier be
tween man and man, not insurmountable
but appreciable. Love is personal, and
very great possessions almost inevitably
throw personal qualities into shadow. e
love men for what they are. not what they
represent.
We cultivate the muscles because it is
fun to use them, and because it brings ns
the happiness that comes of health. For
like reasons we make a business of the cul
tivation of our minds. How simple it is of
ns to neglect to the extent that most of ns
do the systematic cultivation of our hearts.

If Senator In galls will consult Senator
Allison, he may be relieved of all nervous
ness as to his prospects for re-election. The
Democratic Alliance men howled that they
would defeat Allison, with just as much
vigor as they are now howling against In
galls. When the time comes, Ingalls will
be re-elected with the same unanimity Alli
son was.
A Pity to Interrupt Them.
Fort "Wayne Gazette.
It would really be too bad if this Repub

shooting negroes and United States mar
shals tbat they ought not to be interrupted
or exasperated.
