Last Monday while some Pennsylva
nia militia men were taking in the sights
in New York City they diecovered
British flag displayed over an Ainlrican
flig and their patriotism rose, so they
went to work and pulleu it down. 1 lie
American militia men are not to be fool
ed with.
Uncle Sau's navy is small, it is true,
but if some foreign power should pre
sume too much on that fact, there might
be a wonderfully unpleasant surprise in
store for that power. When Yankee in
genuity and energy get to work, there is
no limit to the surprises. Lincoln
Journal.
In the three months which endo l with
March nineteen trusts were formed in
England, ns compared with fifteen in the
whole of 18s8. Free trade is no more
responsible for the trusts than protection
is, but it is a suggestive fact that the one
conspicious free trade country of the
world has nearly ns many of them as all
the other nations combined.
The Dallas (Texas) News calls atten
tion to the fact that "Texas has about
30,000,000 of acres that she is anxious to
dispose of to immigrants on their own
terms. And it is as fine land ns can be
found on the earth." There is no doubt
truth regarding the quality of the land,
and besides the climate is excellent.
Whenever Texas cets into the mood to
welcome immigrants, as Dakota, Kanst?,
Nebraska, Iowa, and California do, she
she will get.thein.

SAVED BY A BELL BUTTON.
A n Old Telegrapher's Successful Eiperl
m rut with Mnnw Sounder.
" 3omo years ago;" said A. Howard,
"ui life and $20,000 belonging to tny
partner, Jim Bigney, and myself were
saved and a gang of robbers broken up
by means of an electric belL Jim and I
had been telegraph operators, but had
abandoned the business for mining. We
had luck in prospecting, and after a few
yearn bad sold our claims for $27,300, of
which we took 7,800 in promissory notes
and started east with the balance, chiefly
in bank notes. It appears that three
outlaws learned the real valuo of our old
trunks and contents. I bad left 9n at
iho clerk's .debk of a new f angled hotel
in a western town and followed the par
ties as they carried tho baggage to the
front end of our room on the fourth
floor. After dismissing them I had shut
tho door, neglecting to lock it, however,
ami had turned to tho washstand behind,
when I heard the door swing slowly open
behind me.
"Thinking it was Jim, I rinsed the
lather fro:n my face and turned, only to
tind u man holding u nix shooter in my
face, another locking the door and a
third making a break for the trunk. 1
wanted at first to argue the matter from
a staiifljioint of morality, ami so inquired
what right they had to disturb mo in
dressing. But t ho man with the gun re
marked axiomatically. 'Might makes all
things right, stranger, and this id might,
tapping his vea)o:i with the disengaged
hand. I felt that the silent instrument
in his hand was a deeper, a more potent
argument than any I could advance un
der existing circumstances.
" 'Back him up to tho wall and keep
him covered until we get the stuff, and
then we'll slit his throat and lope,' re
sumed the leader.
"Though the programme did not just
suit me, I acquiesced, as far as tho wall.
'Put your hands behind you, command
ed my jailer. I did, when a happy
thought struck me. My right hand had
come in contact with a knob, which I
recognized as tho electric bell which
communicated with the clerk. This was
a feature of civilization the robbers were
not posted about. Unobserved by them,
I began sending the following message:
" Jiu Three robbers have the door
locked, and are just waiting to get our
dust to murder me. Get a man and step
ladder, and don't make a Bign of noise,
put ii gua through the transom and
shoot. Bo quick and careful.'
"My only hopo was that Jim might be
still lounging where I left him, in which
case his ear would quickly catch on.
There was n chance in a hundred, and 1
began to sweat very freely. But I started
repeating the message, and was nearly
through, when bang, bang, two shots
were fired from over the door, and the
man, who had not been hit, turned just
enough to let me hit him back of tho ear
with my right hand tho force of despair
and the knowledge of being on the right
siJe at last. It would be painting it a
shade light to say wo had sprung a sur
prise party on tho visitors. I had a gun
in a moment, and kept the thieves at bay
until the two men outside got in and tied
thorn up. except the leader, who was as
dea I as a man ever gets to be. The other
wounded one died in a hospital three
ic-r.ths afterward, and my jailer was

"As 1 had expected, when tho bell be
gan ringing tho me.isago in the office,
j Jim was there and' commenced taking
it. Tho clerk gazed iu such astonish
ment that he forgot to start a boy up to
answer it for a minute, when Jim pulled
his gun and remarked: 'Tho first man
that leaves this room gets all I've got
hero in the neck.' When he had got the
'ringogram,' as he afterward termed it,

A Pretty Action.
A newsboy took the Sixth avenue ele
vated at Park place at noon yesterday,
and sliding into one of the cross seats fell
asleep. At Grand street two young wo
men got on and took the seats opposite
tho lad. His feet were bare and his hat
had fallen off. Presently the younger
girl leaned over and placed her muff
under tho little fellow's dirty cheek. An
old gentleman in the next 6eat smiled at
the act and without saying anything held
out a quarter, w-ith a nod toward the
boy. The girl hesitated a moment and
then reached for it. The next man just
as silently offered a dime, a woman across
the aisle held out some pennies, and be-
foro 6he knew it the girl, with flaming
cneexs, naa taxen money irom every
passenger in that end of the car. She
quietly slid the amount into the sleeping
lad's pocket, removed her muff gently
from under his head without rousing
him and got off at Twenty-third street,
Including all the passengers in a pretty
little inclination of tho head that seemed
full of thanks and the possession of a
common secret. New York World.
