Colored Porter Presented With m Gold Watch and Cheia for Ilerolsm. Thomas E. Griffin, a colored porter connected with the Wagner car service ou the New Vork Central railroad, ii tho h&ppieet factotum of a palace car extant. Griffin rnns on what is known as the Buffalo express. This was the train that last October ran off the track at Garrisons and plunged into the river. Lord Douglas, the eldest son of the Marquis of Cjueensberry, was a passen ger in Griffin's car when the accident occurred. Through the thougbtfulness and care of Griffin ho escaped practical ly unhurt and with all his effects. Griffin's heroism in staying with his passengers when he might have fled im pressed Lord Douglas, and tho latter de sired to show his appreciation of it. Lord Douglas arrirod in New York recently from England on his way to Canada to look after some business affairs. lie sent word to Griffin to meet bim at tho office of Chauncey M. Depew at 3 o'clock on a recent afternoon. Griffin was on hand. Mr. Depew, act ing for herd Douglas, made a neat lit- ilo speech and presented Griffin a band- ' 1J,1 U .U 1 .!...!..

REINDEER FOR ALASKA. General Eaton Advisee Maintaining the Herd For Future Ueee General John Eaton, who was once a United States commissioner of educa tion and is at the present time the head of a large college in Salt Lake City, is just now interested in preserving the reindeer herds in Alaska. " These-herds, '! he said recently, "are depleted in this emergency by taking one portion north to save the 600 whal ers in danger of starvation in the Arctio 'ocean. The remaining portiou trained to the harness ' are in demand to take food to the imperiled miners. If these reindeer are not' replaced in the several herds, there will be none with which to carry on the education of the natives in this new industry and none with which to meet demands of next winter, which, with the rush for gold, are likely to bo greater than at present Congress evi dently should make the small. appropri ation necessary to keep .up the herds and thus bo prepared for future emer gencies.' "In civilizing the natives of northern Alaska they must be trained in tho rein deer industry, for in raising the deer, caring f oi them and training them to the harness they produce their food sop ply, their fcupply of clothing and "their means of transportation, for the. reiu deer milk apd. meat are food; , their skins and entrails furnish clothing, and their bones and; horns are manufactured into implements, and tbey aboVe all others aro the animals for transportation thcro. When re indeer transportation is perfected,- mails will be carried and news will bo communicated as repular ly as in northern Europe." Philadel phia Press. ' A Negro Contrartor.

Iler Complete Outfit One earnest little Alleghany woman is going to brave the rigors and dangers of Alaska all alone during the year, and she is now at work on her outfit for the expedition. Mrs. Thalia Sipe, a seam stress, residing in Alleghany, will leave for Seattle the last week in February, and from there sail for Alaska, where she will take the trail overland for the gold diggings, Mrs. Slpe's husband died 13 years ago, and she is supporting a 14-year-old daughter with her needle. She is not going to tho Klondike to sew, cook, wash or perform any other feminine duty, but to prospect and dig for gold. Mrs. Sipo is not more than S3 years old and is a handsome woman. She has hair as black as the raven's wing and large gray eyes. She is not much over 5 feet in height and will probably weigh about 110 pounds. Her. appear ance would not indicate that she will be physically able to withstand all the hardships she is about to attempt. The earnest manner in which she talks about it, however, proves she has a stout heart and will not quail from the danger. "I had hoped to slip away without any one knowing of my departure," said Mrs. Sipe, "fcr I dread publicity in the matter. . I know It is an unusual thing for a woman to make such a trip alone, but women have accomplished great things before, and why should not I? Yes, I suppose I have tho gold fever, but it is not that alone which impels me to take tbe trip. I do not want to be a seamstress all my life, and when I am called away I want to leave something behind for my little daughter. That is my principal reason for going. Of course I will not talte the little girl with me. I'll leave her here with my relatives, and I hopo, some day, to come back and mako a great lady of her. "I will have a decided advantage in going to the new goldfields ever most women I was born and raised on a farm in Missouri and have spent days and days at a time in the saddle, rounding un the cattle and doing other out of door work that the daughters of a west ern rancher take such delight in. A ten milo climb up the mountain side was only cxecrise for me in those days, and I think 1 would he able to do it all over ; again and undergo the other trials that a trip to the Klondike will necessitate. VI have not definitely decided what route I shall travel. I will purchase a ticket in Pittsburg for Seattle and de cide after reaching there on the remain der of tbe trip.. . I think, though, from what I kpow now, I will go by way of the . Cbilkoot pass and thence to Daw son City. I hope at Seattle to fall in with some party in wnicn tnero are women going with their husbands. which will make the trip much more ocrceable. Cut in case I do not I shall continue on alone. "Tbe first boats, I understand, will leave for Alaska about the 1st of March. It is my intention to get away from Se attle on tbe first of these boats, impossi ble, and, if not then; as soon thereafter as I can. I will remain in Dawson City only as long as Is actually necessary and will then proceed at once up one of the small tributaries of the Yukon, there to stako my claim and work it alone, or with members of tbe party I may fall in with in. Seattle. .1 will take along enough provisions for one year and will not return until I have a fortune or am satisfied 'that thero is no gold in the country. I have no fear of the severe climate,' and I think that man, no mat ter where yon may find him, is gallant enough to help, rather than harm, an unprotected woman:. . Mrs. Sipe already has part of her out fit completed. ' She has made all her own wearing apparel for tho trip. Her outfit consists x)f two costumes, ' both made of waterproof goods. In appear ance they resemble a woman bicycle rider's costume. She has made a tight waist and a short skirt which extends just below the knee, also a pair of bloomers which she will tuck into her boots; the top boots will meet the skirt at the knee. In addition to woolen hosiery she has made several pairs of heavy woolen bootees for winter wear, insuring warmth" for her feet She has a heavy waterproof cloak, with bood attached, aud woolen lined underwear, also for' winter wear. In summer, while at work, Mrs. Sipe will wear water proof skirts and bloumers and-shirt waists, mado of dark material. She will alt-o take along rubber bgots 'and rubber gloves to wrar while digging aud panning tho gravel. , " Airs, bipo aul eno would purcaaso the remainder of her outfit, sr.ch as picks, shoAcls, tent and I'rovi'ioun, at Seattle, and has made a . long list of ueccssary article?.

Jrhn Malloy of Cincinnati is Just ro aoveuai froa a. scripna . caso of blood poiHonlng, which resnlted from a moil peculiar chain of circumstances. Some weeks ago, while camping with a hunt ing party, he cut his hand in someway. The wound was doing very nicely, how ever, when he got home. John is very fond of flowers and in summer time has a profusion of them in his yard and waters them very carefully every day while the flower season lasts. About v tho third morning after John's return ' from his hunting trip Frank Brinkman, ' who lives just across the street from him, came out about 0 o'clock in the morning and took a look into John's yard. . . "My God, Malloy's gone crazy," xh. said, and started fcr him. There stood Malloy, in nothing but his underclothes, and it was bitterly cold. In his hand he held a sprinkling can and was industriously pouring wa- ter over the spot where the flowers grew last summer. The water was freezing as fast as it came from the pot, and the flower bod looked like a sliding track. ; From the amount of ice on tbe flower' bed Malloy must have been pouring wa ter on it all night It required but one glance at John to see that he was walk ing in his sleep. Hrinkman called for help and John's family came to his assistanca When awakened, be was nearly frozen and for several days it was feared that be would have pneumonia. The cold ' settled in the wound in his hand, and then, to make matters worse, blood poisoning set in, and the genial John bad a hard time of it. He has been a somnambulist for some time, but declares that he will never again attempt to water flow ers in his sleep with the thermometer near ecra Cincinnati Enquirer. HIS AMPUTATED LEG. General Sickles Blay Petition Congress Fe Ills Umb Lost at Gettysburg;. General Dan Sickles, it is reported, will soon petition congress to restore t him the leg which he lost at "the peach orchard" cn the second day at Gettys burg and which is now articulated and kept on exhibition in the Army Medical GEKEBAL DANIEL K. SICKLES. museum in Washington. Tbe leg was shattered by a shell while tbe general' was riding on his horse. Despite the torture, he reined up and quieted his w panic stricken horse, dismounted and lay for an hour before be was found. He de clined to be removed to the field hos pital and bade the surgeon who was summoned to-cut off tho leg without delay. This was done, and the surgeon asked permission of the general to send the leg to tbe Army museum. As it was of no further use to him, he consented. The leg was shipped to Washington, the bones prepared and mounted on brass rods. In the. course of time General Sickles became sentimental about tbe lost leg. He had no difficulty in finding it in the museum and has since made frequent . pilgrimages to gaze upon that part of himself which he sacrificed in defense of the Union. He wants to have the leg buried with him when his time comes, but tbe museum managers want to keep it, and hence the general has now decided, it is said, to ask congress to permit him to secure possession of it.

Dalf an Oaaco of Iron Filings Taken Frees a Man's Body, One of the most remarkable opera tions in the history of surgery was re cently performed at Englewood Union hospital, in Chicago, upon an iron worker named John Glass. The opera tion resulted in the removal from tba man's body in the region pf the first rib of a lot of iron filings which are be lieved to have been absorbed into his system through the lungs. The largest piece cf partly corroded iron fornd was about the size of a sil ver half dime, nearly rouud, but with rough edgs. Forty pieces varying in size freni that down to a pinbead were taken out. When placed together in a bottle, the quantity of "junk" taken from Glass astonished the surgeons, who decided ucanimously that tbe phenome non is without a parallel in tho annals of surgery. The metal weighs a full half ouuro. Glass was very tick when a reporter called at tho bo.vpit.nl, but the doctors are agreed that ho will recover.
