A fit. Pawl Switchmans Tells an name
what Baaaarhahl# Rtary ll
iMslrainaß the Fatal.
Rallioad men “down east,” according
to some New England papers, are being
controlled by superstition in the matter
of running on engines whose numbers are
13, or any combination which amounts to
that unlucky sum.
No railroad terminating in Chicago haa
engines numbered aa high as ISIS, with
the exception, perhaps, of the Wabash.
But with a view of ascertaining the
amount of superstition among the Chicago
railroaders an Evening News reporter
spaotaiav hours in a “switch shanty”
at Western avenue, where the knights of
the link and pia of several roads uongre*
gats and swap atorian with the engineers
and trainmen.
The crowd was much the same as one
would meet in moat any switch shanty.
Some were shining up their “glima,”
others were making out their time and,
switching blanks, others were playing
Pei*; and In general the recent wrecks
and “lung-pulling” exploits were the sub
jects of conversation. The minute the
reporter mentioned the number 13, one
man, who is at present tending Uie cross
over switches, but who bad an arm and a
portion of a leg taken off several years
ago, while switching, poked up the fire,
shivered, and said:
“Boys, yon uns have alters lieen a tell
ing yer thirteen yarns, an’ kinder b’lieve
in ’em. "You bed better jist sit round
here and tell the reporter w hat yer liave
been dreamin’ on.”
“Oh, yes. Some folks says we are fool
ish for b’lievin’ in this thirteen business,
butl do just the same,” chimed In a fire
man. “To begin with, I knew a fireman
who fired 313, a switch engine in the
North La Cross yards. While he bad that
engine he had three fainting spells. At
the last one he fell dead at hia doorstep,
while hurrying home from the engine.
Now, 1 think that was an unlucky en
gine. She’s down here in the Chicago
yards now.”
“My cousin ran No. IS on the old Wis
consin Valley from Tomah to Warsaw
some yean ago, and he never made a trip
without some accident happening. One
day she slipped an eccentric, and while
repairing her two drunken Indiana nearly
killed him. Hia wife had such a horror
of that big-etacked wood-burner that she
dreamed of it. One day she kept her
husband home, and made him promise
he would give up No. 13. He did. He
is now on the Chippewa Valley A Meno
nee division, and feels better, as be pulls
the throttle ot the 205,” aaid a young en
gineer.
“Well,” said a St Panl switchman, “I
never did believe much in this thirteen
business until one night three winter*
ago. Yon remember Charley Marsh had
just brought hie engine - (M 4) In on Coun
cil Bluffs four, aad it waa nearly dark
when he reached the roundboose. He was
to go back on No. 3 that night, and be
hurried homo, leaving the engine so she
would not quite clear the passenger yard
lead. She was steamed up to ISO, and
had sixty pounds oI air. That green
switchman from Ibe Central tried to move
her, and she got away from him before he
coold shove in the throttle. The yard
bad tfcl-tcen crews ia that evening, aad
most of them were coming in. Every
body knows bow 804 went through that
stretch of yard. Past the transfer bouse
she flew at sixty miles an boor. Switch
engines just barely dot of her way were
black with switchmen anxiously think
ing of their brothers at the “top end.”
Would they get out of the way of 304 as
she sped on? Messages were ssnt to Pa
cific Junction to ditch her, but she never
reached them. At the top end a ’Cragin
pull* was hut taking a string out onto the
insfkL, Mae, when 9G4 struck (he train.
Well, boys, you know it was just under
the Boulevard bridge, and my! wasn’t
the wreck piled up? Old 364 was always
causing trouble, sod when the superin
tendent came to order the wrecker*
around the first thing he done waa to
pick up pieces of the old number plate.
out the rix, then the three
and after a hunt ho found the four.
‘Three, six, four; well, that is thirteen, as
I live,’ I heard him say. Since that time
1 have sort of thought that 864 was built
to pile up cars and people.”
Just then an extra from the Pacific
, soiled in. She had besides her regular
Stock cars, wrecking train and a lot of de
molished freight car trucks on the flats.
' “Say, there is nothing la the the thirteen
■ business; oh, no!” said the veteran
switch tender. “See that wrecked box
car, C. M. A. St. P., ‘Red Line,' 1120?
, fibs is the one that Jumped at Kirkland,
Tuesday night, and piled the red cars up

“Hang it, it 1 deni bfUese a little in
that myself,” replied a passenger brake
man. “One morning we wereooming down
the Chicago division No. 2, with thirteen
cam, bv the way, gad engine No. 724 was
Peking US. At Pacific Junction a switfh
tdMer Ist ns into the ditch, and blocked
everything for three hours. No 724 was
not injured very badly, but the switch
tender was fired. There is that thirteen
again—7i 2,4. Seems tome Udrs’sgone*
tbioie in it.’* An engineer liegau to pooh
pooh the men, but • switchman who bad
worked in the Elgin yard told a clincher.
A stock freight bad Joat rolled down the
hill, at the foot of which ia the St. Paul
depot, when another atock train, which
had refuted to obey the brakes, came
tearing down the hill, struck the first
train’s caboose, threw it from a trestle
into a store, and demolished three stock
cars, sendine the cattle and I togs adrift on
the ice of Fox river. A switchman w!k»
was sleeping in the demolished caboose
arose at Plngree Grove and turned his feet
to the door. He had hardly fallen asleep
when the crash came. After picking him
self up uninjured he found a triangular
piece of the engine’s number plate at his
feet. There was a No. 13. The engine
was the mogul 713. The part with the
figure 7 remained on the boiler bead.
Nowjas I remember, this was on the 13th
day of December, and $13,000 was the
total loss to the company. How are you
going to explain these coincidences?”
“Oome on, boys; here are your en
gines!” cried the night yardmaster at the
door, and the switchmen, after lighting
their lanterns, went to work. One of
tliem said to the reporter on the quiet:
“Say, this is the tenth Isntera I’ve used
up in this yard by s-gettin’ ’em csught
in the desdwoods. When it reaches thir
teen I’ll bet you my light gets squeezed
out. I never knew it to fail.’’ In s Jiffy
the melancholy switchman bed boarded
his switch sngine. and was being whisked
up into the “cornfield, ’’ where he “chased
cars” while most of the readers of this
article slept.

Chins, In it* slow, shy way la enjoying
just now a little romance. Years ago,
when the last Ming emperor ended his
earthly mound in Pekin, his heir was
made a marquis, and the Manchu dynas
ty succeeded to the rule of the land of the
sun. During the reign of the last em
peror hot one, the then holder of the
niarqniaite died without sons and with no
direct heir to succeed to the titles and es
tates. References to the family records
showed that the rightful heir was an ob
scure parsonage who had been completely
loot sight sight of, and search was made
1 for him everywhere by officials of the
' banner under which the marquis was en
-1 rolled. High and low. in byway and
’ highway, the gallant knights of the ben
: ner sought for the missing heir and no
1 trace could anywhere be found. Never
-1 theleas, he waa dose at hand all the time.
’ Day by day, for a good number of years,
there bad stood outside one of the gates
of Pekin a man with a barrow crying
pumpkins for sale, a sort of celestial cos
termonger, vary rough, very'rustic and
totally uneducated. Beneath bis ragged
robe, although he did not v know it, there
beat the heart el a marquis, and those
who had sought the loot heir bad passed
him a hundred tloses without knowing
1 bow close they were to the object of their
search. Accident revealed it at last, and
costermonger, bewildered end alarmed,
| wee conveyed, barrow end all, to the ban
ner under the shadow of the palace wall.
With much difficulty the idea waa ham
mered into him that be was no longer a
pumpkin-seller—that he was a marquis
and tbs desesndant of kings. When at
1 length be understood, ho permitted the
banner to wash and shave him and fix up
his hair in approved marquiaato style,
’ and clothe him in costly garments, which
1 bo looked at, it la recorded, with a waver
ing and a doubtful eye. Then began a
1 pdalul puiodal poUaUag up, lor bafore
1 he could be presented to the emperor the
ex-outer had to b* taught nch elements
1 of etiquette as hie original profession had
not proved favorable to, and had to learn
1 also the few Manchu phraaee necessary
1 for e presentation at court. When this
1 wee ell done hie succession was allowed,
end he went to hie palace and took poe
-1 session. Report speaks of him as en
’ honest and kind-hearted man, *faf has
done his best'to educate himself and ful
fill the position of bis high poahton. He
1 la about 54 yean of age, and still retains
1 bis rustic appearance. The birth of sons
; has secured the succession, so that the
family in now in ee strong s position as
ever. It ia his doty to offer n sacrifice
| each autumn at the Ming tombs. His
’ palace is near one of the gates of the im
-1 portal city, and ha la popularly known aa
the pumpkin marquis. And In the course

ODD VERMONT EPITAPHS.
Some or the Queer Inscriptions Found
By i Party of Visitors.
Raaa# a( the Caaplda Frsveka a
Mantle. Notwithstanding the
Vlsaay Narraaadlaßa.
BratUeborongh (Vt) Corr. New York
•Sun; A party summering here has made
s search of neighboring graveyards for
odd epitaphs, and report many interest
ing finds.
An ancient little cemetery at Vernon
proved a perfect bonanza, at Grafton was
found another, and at Ixmdonderry, Duiu
merstown and other places, as well as at
this place, there were several good finds.
Moat of the older stones are slate. Within
a few miles, sometimes within a stone’s
throw, were etoree of granite that were
inexhaustible, yet the old time Ver
monters ignored that time defying stone
put their trust in slate.
Here is oue we fouud in Grafton
cemetery:
Uou« Home.
*
The band was probably carved with
the fingers downward to point to the re
mains, but the inference drawn is often
other than that. Near the stone was an
other which marked the grave of a man
who bad been murdered by an enemy.
The epitaph was:
i
I'm Shot.
It was in the Grafton oeuietry that we
found one of the very oddest of our stones.
It was in three sections, two large atones
with a smaller one in the middle. On
one of the large stones was an angel’s
bead, with slits for the eyes, nose and
mouth, and two enormous feathered wings
growing from the sido of its head,
at the place where the ears should
have been. On the small stone wus
an exact copy of this in miniature,
and on the other large atone was a
weeping willow tree, with twelve branches,
at the end of each branch, hanging like a
great, round apple, being a cherub’s
bead, in the typical unadorned and un
connected style of the very early pioneers
in the art of carving tombstones. The
small atone was sacred to the memory of
Thomas Parke, Jr.; one of the larger
■tones was in memory of Mrs. Thomas
Parke, Hr., and the other was sacred to
the memory of her twelve infant children.
The inscription read:
Btranser, pause aa you pass by:
Mr thirteen children with me lie.
Bee their face* how they abine
Like bloaaoma on ■ fruitful vine.
The story runs that an old slave of
Thomas Parke, Sr., bad been promised
his freedom, and, not obtaining it, died
cursing his then youthful master, and
praying that his children might die before
they were grown. All died in infancy,
and only Thomas, Jr., reached his second
year; but whether the slave’s curse bad
anything to do with their aad deaths is
matter of opinion rather than history.
In a sunny corner of the Vernon ceme
try lie the three wives of Mr. Abijah
Rogers. The first died in 1784, and her
tombstone bore the following epitaph:
Look down <n me; 1 dumber here:
The rrarr'i btrooe m> bed.
And ulak of death, that'* always near.
For life may quickly fade.
Five yean later the second Mrs. Rogers
died, and the widower buried her in
friendly neighborhood to the first, and,
to avoid all appearance of partiality,
placed on her tombstone precisely the
same atansa, though dignifying tlie per
sonal pronoun in the first line with a cap
ital letter. The third Mrs. Rogers has a
more touching epitaph than the others.
In another graveyard waa (bund this un
grammatical statement carved in stone:
**Xn<f7 aaftoft ate t^' k •••*'
Mr husband dear, who wia so near,
la took sway and gone.
It was in a New Hampshire burying
ground that were found the graves of
eleven children, over each of which was a
marble lamb. The father of the eleven
bad, after the death of the seventh, it was
alleged, purchased the lambs at whole
sale. There was still one left of the doxen
be bought, so the story went.
One of the Grafton epitaphs reads as
follows:
Hl* Ison lab ins head to at rent.
I tothtoklnc sad aching srs o'er:
Hi* rslm. Immovable bresat
Will heave to flutter no more.
It la strange to see how some one mor
tuary status would have a ran, so to
spsak, in the neighborhood. Here is n
favorite one:
MekusM Mtc lons tiros I bore,
Phriirisns' skill waa Vane.
Till God did send desth as a friend,
To esse me of my Pane.
For modesty this is irreproachable. It
was not seen by this party, but was
vouched for by oue of the villagers:
O Ood, do Thou to Alien Klien Rsdd
A* Alien Elton Kadd would do to Ood
Ware Ood but Allen Ellen Rsdd
And Alton Elton Rsdd were (rod.
A favorite couplet is that which closes
an Inscription found la a cemetery at
Vernon:
When Urine men my boat* do rlew,
Remember well: Heir'* room for you.
Hare is an epitaph that adorns the
tombstone of a wife and mother:
If in after years beside thee alia another In my
chair.
Though her voice be awceter music, and her face
than mine more fair,
If a cherub calls thee father, still more beautiful
than this,
Love the little one. my husband; turn not from
the motherless.
To complete the story It aliould be said
that another did sit in her chair not long
afterward, and that in time twelve little
cherubn called him father.
In Vernon thia simple tale of womanly
heroism is simply told;
The room below flamed like a stove,
Anxious for those who slept above.
Hhe entered on the trembling floor,
Hhe fell, she sank, she rose no more.
The hmi Igaia Brakea.
Senator Stanford’s filly Sunol broke the
3-year-ohl record at the Bay District track
at San Francisco, Nov. ftth, when she
trotted a mile in 2:10,4* This lowers the
3-year-old record of 2:12 recently made
by Axtell. During the last few weeks
horsemen have been greatly interested in
the approaching test of Sunol’s capabili
ties. and when the filly was brought out
this afternoon there was a fair crowd
present to witness her performance. She
was accompanied by a runner during the
trial. The start was made with the latter
about a furlong behind Sunol. The filly
reached the quarter in 32 seconds and
went to the half in 1:05, and it then
seemed certain that, barring a break, she
would succeed in lowering the record.
Her time to the third quarter was 1:8?4*
The runner pressed her closely down the
stretch, sod Marvin, her driver, applied
the whip, but the colt did not make the
slightest skip, and passed under the wire
in 2:104* When the time was announced
there was a wild scene among the specta
tors, and the enthusiasm continued sev
eral minutes.
Grace (from a booming western town,
continuing conversation)— And our new
cable line is just simply immense. You
should see it in operation, and especially
on the incline—steep os a tolioggan chute,
you know. Kate—Gracious! What
would they do in case the rope would
break on a downward trip? Grace (with
enthusiasm)—Do? Why they’d have a
temporary track built for them to ran on
by the time they reached the bottom.
Talk aliout enterprise!— Harper’s Bazar.

of his “Introdaction to the Study of the
Human Races” to the Academy of Sci
ences has given an interesting summary
of his general conclusions with regard to
the origin and distribution of mankind.
Neglecting the minor differences, he
estimates that there are no fewer than
seventy-two distinct races in the human
species. All these descend or branch off
from three fundamental types—the black,
the yellow and the white—which bad
their origin at the great central mass of
Northern Asia, which is thus the cradle
of mankind. Representatives of these
different types and the races which sprang
from them are still to be found there.
The whites, according to M. de Quatre
fages, appear to have originated on the
west of the central mass, the yellows on
north and the blacks on the south. The
whites extended westward and northward,
giving birth to three secondary types, the
Finnish, the Semitic and the Aryan, if
except the Allophyles, which form a sep
arate group. Their area of distribution is
continuous, as is that of the yellows, be
cause of the extensive land surface of the
Eurasian continent. The yellows spread
eastward and crossed into America. The
whites and yellows checked or blended
with each other, producing many varie
ties of man. The blacks, or negro type,
which originated on the sooth of the cen
tral mass, was forced by the nature of the
continent, and probably by the attacks of
the whites and yellows, to go sooth into
Africa and east into the Indian archipel
ago or Melanesia.
The proto-Hem ites arrested their distri
bution in the north of Africa, and the
mixture of the two races gave rise to the
negroid populations. In the center and
sooth of Africa the blacks continued in
their ethnic purity until the infiltration of
other races from Europe and the north of
Africa in modern times. Those which
remained in their original home became
blended with the whites and yellows,
giving rise to the drmvidian populations,
which pass by shades into the three fun
damental types.'
As for the Allophyles, represented by
the race of Cro-Magnon, they occupied
parts of Europe amt North Africa, from
which they extended to the Canaries.
The three fundamental types also found
themselves in Oceania; the Allopbylian
whites occupying Polynesia, the blacks
Melanesia, the yellows Malasia. The lat
ter were, according to M. de Quatrefages,
the last to come into the maritime world.
The peopling of America dates from the
quaternary period, and is due to migrations
of different types—Allophyllc white and
yellow, blending with the local quaternary
races, which also belonged to the yellow
type. Europe, since the tertiary ages,
has received only Allophylian whites,
Finns and Aryans. The numbenof races
now existing in a pure state is exceed
ingly restricted, if, indeed, there is a sin
gle one which can be accepted as such.
Perhaps some little groups, protected by
their isolation, such as tl»e Mincopies,
may show an identity of characters at
testing their ethnic homogeneity.—Lorn

Snohomish Sun: Now is Ute time to
settle this country with s class of citiseos
that will make her the grandest state in
the Union. If she is not settled at this
time, while all eyes are turned to her as a
new state, the plan of Senator Bruce to
colonize the negroes of the south here
may be carried out. We want the good
people of the northern and eastern states
here, men of industry and capital to de
velop the many diversified resources of
the country. The gold mines made Cali
fornia; the silver mines made Colorado
and the wheat fields have made Dakota
what she is; grain and stock raising have
msde Illinois; corn has made lowa and
Nebraska: copper has made Michigan,
and fine horses have made Kentucky
famous the world over; ship building has
made Maine, and granite quarries have
made New Hampshire. Ohio may rank
first in wool, New York in potatoes and
hay, Texas in cattle and Pennsylvania in
iron and coal, but where is the state, in
all the Union, that has all these resources
combined like WashingtonT Hhe will yet
rival California in her gold mines, Colo
rado in her silver mines, Dakota in her
wheat fields, Michigan in her copper and
Pennsylvania in her coal and iron, New
Hampshire in her granite and Maine in
her Skip building. Where is tliere a bet
ter country for stock raising, fruitgrowing
and fishing than Washington? Not only
does she rival all other slates in their
chief productions but she possesses advan
tages which many of them do not. We
will, in a short time surpass all other
countries in the world in hop raising.
We possess the greatest proportionate ex
tent of navigable waters, have the finest
harbors, the most fertile soil of any state
in the Union. And above all other ad
vantages is our salubrious, healthful cli
mate. Hood health is the one great re
quisition, without it all else would amount
to naught. Here there is no ague, no
plagues, no long cold winters, no hot
summers, but a cool, invigorating breeze
from the briny deep from one end of the
year to the other. In inducing your
friends to oome here you can have noth
ing to regret. There is no danger of Kan
sas hot winds, Nebraska’s hail storms,
Alabama’s yellow fever, Missouri's ague,
Dsxota’s blizzards or Mississippi’s ne
groes.
