In the argot of the office she was "a
bird." She wasn't a hobo in the gen
eral meaning of the term, but the was
very near in kin a railroad telegraph
operator, out of a job, and on a hunt
for another place. She had good letisr
and a traveling- card from the O. R. T.
(Order of Railway Telegraphers) and,
in this instance, was 'panhandling"'
her fellow railroaders for transporta
tion. She was young and bright, and
more than ordinarily pretty, wore a
neat tailor-made suit and carried a
little grip.
When she was first seen by one of the
operators in the big telegraph office
at the Union depot, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, she was standing at tha
counter where lay the register books
find sheets, and was locking over one
of the C. B. & Q. registers. Thinking

the end where the regular query is j
"How's Tan-Handle 4?" or "Is Alton C '
on time?" one of the operators at the
dispatcher's table started for the coun
ter to see what she wanted.
He had hardly straightened up from
his chair when a little myctie sign came
from the woman, and the big operator,
with a grin of surprise and pleasure on
his face, hurried forward with out
stretched hand.
"Where you from?" he aUced.
"Denver," replied the girl. "I lost my
office there last spring, and I've been
east trying to get another, but the
east's no good, and I'm going back to
see my old chief again and make a try
to get back on the Rio Grande. Do you
know any of these "Q' men who go
out to-night?"
"Yes, all of them, but they are a hard
game to try to beat."
"Well. I've ridden with some in the
east that the boys said were tough,
but I had no trouble."
"If you wih, I'll try and help you,

but the Alton or Milwaukee are easier
than the 'Q.' "
"The Alton's gone, and the other
doesn't leave until 11 o'clock, and I
don't want to wait so long."
"Ail right ; come in and sit down. The
'Q.' man will be in to register in a few
minutes," and then the little gate in
the counter was opened and, seated be
side an operating table near her new
friend, her voice often drowned by the
incessant clicks of the "sounders," she
told the story of her travels.
"As 1 told you," she said, "I lost out
in March last, and I knew when I got
my time, that there was no job in Den
ver for me until' business picked up,
so I got a pass over the Fort Worth
& Denver to Fort Worth, and started
out to hunt up a place. I did.n't find
any job in Fort Worth or Dallas, so I
we.nt east. I have been in 18 states and
traveled a whole week about the At
lantic coast, and I've seen a whole lot
cf things western girls seldom get a
chjnce to see, but I've found no work,
and now I'm going back home and wait
for something to turn up. I've plentj
of money; but I don't like to pay rail
road fare. I guess I'm getting to be
too much of a hobo for that. I haven't
paid out a dollar for fare since I start
ed, and I've rode nearly 10,000 milss
already."
Just then a Chicago, Hurlington &
Quiney conductor came into the office
and started to the counter.
"There's a 'Q.' man. Try him," said
the operator.
The old. fellow in b:ue and gold, had
h&rdly completed the registry of his
train before he heard at his elbow the
old familiar query: "Do you show any
favors to railroad people?-'
This old passenger man had "turned
down" lots of "brnkirs" and conduct
ors, and lie whirled around, prepared
to crush t his tourist with a sharp nega
tive, but when he saw the pretty face
and looked injo the sparkling eyes of
the fair h-obo he hesitated.
There is an oltiiadage that says: "The
man who hesitates is lost." and in this
case the truth of the axiom was amply
verified. He shoved his fingers through
his bristling gray hair, looked around a.
momtnt. ;:nd finally said: "Not often.
They watch us pretty close now."
"But I've got a traveling card and
good clearances, and I'm in a hurr3- to
get 1 o Denver."
"Let me see them," said the ticket
puncher.
He read the letters, asked the oper"
ator if the card was all right, and, get
ting an affirmative answer, said:
"Well, I guess it's all right. Train's
on the second traek."
The operator put on 'his coat and.es
sorled the girl out to the train, and in
a few minutes ahe was on ler way to
Denver. . . . '

SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
After Twenty-Nine Year and SeTen
Month Two -Murderers Are
- .'-' Captured and Punished.
Nemesis seldom has tracked the evil
doer longer or more persistently to the
final reckoning than in the case of Mi
chael Rigosa and his wife Adele, re
cently on trial in Koine for the murder
of the husband's parents almost 30
years ago.
Adele Retrosi then was the wife of a
rich Italian land-owner. He was older
than she. their tastes were not in com
mon, and he scarcely commanded her
respect. Soon after marriage they be
gan to drift, apart, so that one day
when Michael Rigosa came to the old
chateau the pretty Adele was open to
lis flatteries. It was not long until all
but the husband' saw the mutual at
tachment that had sprung up between

Not so the parents of Rigosa. They
objected to the elopement that had
been planned, and which, the ardent
son had imparted to them. There was
a. stormy scene. Finally the parents
threatened exposure. The son's mer
curial temperament broke all bounds,
and he plunged a stiletto into the
hearts of both his father and his
mother.
Blood-maddened, he fled to the
chateau where he told the story to the
beaut? il Adele. They had gone so
far; -..ney must go further. The rich

stantinople, and from there to New
York, where they lived, for years.
Finally, feeling that the Italian police
had forgotten the crime, they returned
to Naples boldly, and for 20 years they
had lived there in sumptuous, style
when an accident betrayed them. Aft
er 30 years the- Italian penal code al
lows immunity for a crime, but at the
time of the arrest only 29 years and
seven months had elapsed.
So, imprisonment for life has come

RODE ON CAR ROOF.
A, Toong Woman's Experience In
BeotlnK Her Way Home from
Kew York. City.
r The crew of a fast freight train on
the Lehigh Valley railroad found a
young woman on top of a box car
a short distance west of Pattenburg,
N. J., the other night. The woman
was unable to see, having been blind
ed by cimlers that flew from the stack
of the locomotive drawing the. train.
Crouched close to the top of the car,
she was cliuging to the footboard.
She was taken to the locomotive and
brought to East on. When she
reached that city Detective Miller, an
officer in the employ of the railroad
company, placed the woman under
arrest, on the charge of illegal car
riding.
Excited from her terrible experi
ence on the fast moving train, the
prisoner was thought to be demented.
It was mainly on that account that
she. was taken to the loek-v.p. At the
station house, after she had been per
mitted to rest and wash the dirt from

her face and eyes, the young woman
gave an account of her trip.
She said her home was near Allen
town and that her name was Mame
Steel. She had been to New York
and had tired of the big city. Loug
ing to get back home and not having
money to pay her fare, she decided
to steal a ride on a freight train, as
she had often read of men and boys
doing. Walking to Newark, she
climbed on a freight car. She barely
had time to tie her hat fast to the
short sacque she wore when the train
began. to move. In a moment or two
it was traveling at a high rate oi
speed. The- wind chilled her and
nearly swept her from her perch, but
she clung to the footboard.
After having learned the story the
railroad officials withdrew the charge
against her, and she received a ticket
to ier home. ,

READY FOR A VOTE
Discussion of Kay-Pauncefot
Treaty Falls Flat.
TREATY -WITH SPAIN TAKEN UP
Boutelle Ketolntlon Passed by th
Senate House Votes to Compel the
Pennsylvania Railroad to Build
Xew Depot at Washlnston.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Yester
day's executive session of the senate dem
onstrated that the discussion of the Hay
Pauiicefote treaty by that body is prac
tically exhausted and that the senate is
ready for the vote, which has been fixed
for today. When upon Senator Lodge's
motion the doors were closed yesterday
and he culled up the treaty, no senatoi
evinced a desire to speak upon it.
Without making any special request foi
speakers Mr. Lodge asked the senate to
take up the treaty with Spain providing
for the cession to the United States of the
Philippine Islands of Sibutu and Cagay
an Zulu and their dependencies in con
sideration of the payment to Spain ot
$100,000. Objection to this request was
made by several senators, iuc-luJing
Messrs. Hoar. Wellington and Bacon,
and Senator Lodge, with the hope of re
moving the objections made, went into a
brief explanation of the terms of the ne
gotiations. Senator Hoar said he should like to
have more time to consider tha question,
and Senator Bacon said that notwith
standing he is a member cf the commit
tee on foreign relations he had not been
present when a report upon the treaty
was authorized. He therefore would ap
preciate further opportunity to go over
the document. Senator Wellington made
unqualified objection.
Accordingly the treaty was laid aside
for the time being.
Congress has -authorized the president
to appoint Representative Charles A.
Boutelle of Maine to be a captain of the
United States navy on the retired list.
Without a word of opposition, even of
comment, the ssiate passed the house
resolution authorizing Mr. Boutelle's re
tirement. Aside from the transaction of some
routine business and the passage of 71
private pension bills the senate did noth
ing of importance in open session.
The house at the end of a spirited con
test extending over two days passed
bills to compel the Pennsy'lvnuia . and
Baltimore and Ohio railroads to abolish
grade crossings, to alter their routes into
the city and to change their terminal
facilities. An amendment was placed
upon the Pennsylvania bill to require the
road to build a new station to cost not
less than $1,500,000.
TAKIHG THE TIME AT NOON.
All Business of the Western Inlor
Company Stona for Thre
Annates Daily.
Just before 12 o'clock each day al!
business must be taken off the wires
controlled by the Western Union com
pany, and that means the absolute
cessation of business along the main
lines cf electric communication in the
principal cities of America, says Pear
son's Magazine. Three minutes before
noon wire chiefs in each of the prin
cipal cities and the towns and cities
leading to and from their large sis
ters cease sending or receiving- mes
sages, no matter how important they
may be, and devote themselves to
switching on wires in such a way as
to make an unbroken circuit of com
munication from Washington around
the uttermost boundaries of the
United States. This is called an "un
broken national circuit." Thus a
smooth track is made along which the
electric message may flash encom
passing the union and announcing the
time of day. Ten seconds before the
time bell strikes comes another si
lence, and then a mighty throb, a
titanic heartbeat from the foremost
factor in modern commerce, and an
electric current pulsates from the At
lantic to the Pacific, from Gotham to !
the golden gate, announcing the fact I
that the sun has passed over tha I
seventy-fifth meridian and it is noon I
at Washington.
OUR VAST MINERAL . RICHES.
oarlj- a Tliousnnd Millions In Value
Tnlien from the Earth,
Vearly.
A chart published by the geological
survey gives a summary of the min
eral products of the United States for
the past, ten years. The aggregate
values have increased by more than
one-half in that period and the fig
ures for S'J9 are greater than in any
previous year, fooling up the enor
mous total of $970,000,000.',
The value of the metallic products
of the year is given at $527,218,084 and
of the nonmetallic at $447,790, S62. The
latter class includes, of course, the
coals $1G8,COO.UOO in bituminous and
$SS,COC,000 in Pennsylvania anthracite
$64,600,000 in petroleum. $20,000,000
worth of natural gas and large value
in stone, brick clay and cement, with
various other minerals.
Of the metals our pig iron is worth
almost as much as all others together,
the'valuc of last year's product being
given at $245X03,000. Copper comes
next, worth $104,000,00, and the $71,
000,000 in gold is third. The market,
value of the silver pi-odueed in 1S99
was about $33X00,000 and the lead and
zinc, together were worth about as
much. Quicksilver, aluminum, anti
mony, nickel and plantinum are the
other metals that figure in the table.
Jlasclej and II rain.
In one of his recent lectures at
Clark University, Prof. Angelo Mosso,
of Turin, averred that "Physical edu
cation and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the muscles,
but for that of the brain as well."
It is becoming evident, he said, that
as much time should be devoted to
muscular exercise as to intellectual
exercise, and children should begin
reading and writing only after they
are nine years old. Muscular fatigue
exhibits phenomena identical with
intellectual fatigue. Nerve cells show
on the average every ten seconds a tend
ency to rest. It is probable that only
part of the brain is active at a time;
the various parts relieve each other.
The more mobile any animal's extrem
ities are the more intelligent, other
things being" gqual, he says. ,

a rooster, but is now a hen. a regular
common everyday egg-laying hen, re
ports a Chicago exchange. In its
younger days this bird wis a prize
winning game cock, on exhibition at
the Springfield state fair, where it cap

bird and purchased it. He brouaht it
to Chicago and was soon the object of
all his neighbors' wrath because the
fighting rooster killed all the cocks in
the neighborhood.
It became necessary for him to lock
rhe bird up and after it had been cap

ticed that the tail of his pet had dis
appeared. In a few weeks the rooster
"lost his spurs and his comb, and later
his feathers began to change color.
Experts were called in aud pronounced
the case a mystery.
Marshall thought he had a wonder

astonished 1o find an egg-in the cellar.
He could not believe that the rooster
had laid the egg, but thought some of
his friends had put it there for a joke.
Determined to solve the case, lie se
creted himself in the cellar one night
and watched the rooster lay an egtr.
Now he declares that he owns one of
the wonders of the world.
