There had got to bo a pretty well settled notion that the Richmond lire ilarm was to be adonted by this city , the n-k'e having been about lixcd upon , ami t was conceded to be u low one. The Tiends of the Camewell system seem do- : ermined not to allow this , and they have teen strongly urging that the ( Jamcwcll s the one used in all largo cities , and Unit I is the standard one. On the other hand .he friends of the Richmond .sy.stem de clare that it is . } ut as good , if not so old , and that in price it is much cheaper. It seems that both systems are excellent and that the city cannot get far out of the n adopting either under the guar- nteo given bv eaeh. The promise i.s ' made , however' , that owing to the aimi-ly nf eaeh to have Council Bluffs aitopt its system , the city will get special prices which will cause the putting in lir.ro of a good system at a much less cost than most cities are required to pay. It is to be hoped that such will be the result of thu sharp competition hetvreou these two systems. _ _ Stenographer and typewriter. O. Mini- son , witli M. V. Hohrer , over C.

An A c l Bachelor Tells Wliy ho 11 nil Never Married. Letter in London Times : For parents and near kinsfolk it is customary Ina Coren to mourn three years. What a deep Intlurneo this prescriptive usage has upon the life of the people is illustrated by the folio wing story of imaged bachelor who was asked why no had never taken a wifo. "My parents as well as myself , " he said , ' 'were desirous that 1 should marry , and a suitable young lady being found our betrothal took place. 'I hen m.v fu ture father-in-law died , and wo hud , uof cburso , to wait Uiree years. 1 had uardly put oil'my mourning than 1 had to Ijcwnll tli3 loss of my own poor father ; ncrT 'ar ilyhcru wj .anotjj'jrjenn ' othreeciuV { waiting. \ \ lien UK--O Were up the future mother of my wife took sick and expired , and thus we wcro obliged to delay our marriage another three years. Lastly , 1 had the misfortune to lose my own dear lin mother , which naturally paused a further adjournment. So that as four times three make twelve , that num ber of years had imsseil over our bends and made us both the older. At this time my betrothed fell ill and as she was at death's door 1 wont to pay her n last visit. My future brother-in-law met mo at the door ami said , "Although von are not formallv married , yet per haps 1 may for this once look upon yon ns man and wife ; como in and sen her. " I hardly entered and been for a moment face to face with my iioor wife than * lie breathed her last. Whin I saw this sill thoughts of marriage lied from mo and 1 have remained a bachelor ever since. SE'NATOR'HEARST. . How lie ICollevcd n Dtuiilciird'.M Fnm- My And I'miMied the Drunkard. San Kranciseo Post : Senator Hearst may not have the personal graces of u Brmnmel or the oratorical gifts of a Ci cero , but the ton of his henil i.s devoid of undulations. ' 1 he seiritor Is not mean : on the contrary , he is generous with his money , but he is not in the habit of re leasing his grip on a dollar until he knows \ \ here it is going. For Instance : "Please , sir , win yon assist a poor man who is out of work and has u lainily do- pcndin' on him ? " 'fhis inquiry was made by a fellow who arted out of a dark doorway near the ienator's newspaper ollieo one'evening ast winter. Tin1 senator turned a watery o.ve on the eggar , saw his unshaven mug , his habby raiment , and unwashed , shaky anils. "So you've got a family , have you ? Yhorc d'ye live ? " "Itonnu on Paeifi'j ' street , sir. " " ( ! o ahead , and take me there. If you in'l ly'n' ' , I'll do the square thing , wrdncr. " The man had a family , sure enough. le showed the senator into a foul room in the third story of a rookery. There ivoro three children , a decent-looking ivoman , and a sewing machine. The kvoman wept when questioned. They ivero very poor and often hungry. Ail heir troubles came from the drunkenness of the husband. That culprit sullenly owned to the truth of this statement. "AH right , " said Unelo ( Jeorge , rising. He gave thu woman a sum of money .hat made her speechless. "Conic along with me , " said Hearst to .he husband , who obeyed with alacrity. At the next corner the senator turned : liii ama/.ed man over to a. policeman. "Book this fellow for vagrancy , " said In-philanthropist. "I'll swear against lim to-morrow. He's been striking mo for a piece. " "Now , you , " said Uncle ( Jcorge next lay when hu had secured a sentence of three months for the loafer , "if you've u nind to be decent when you jret out , come to me and I'll give you a show. " And the man. three months later did come. Uncle ( Jeorgo sent him and his family to ono of his ranches , where , to do the fellow justice , ho has avoided the bottle and behaved himself. "I ain't onposed to drinkin' , " the sena tor is given to remarking. "If a man can all'ord it , it's all right , but when he ean'c 1 go in lor sendin' aim to jail. " NERVOUS TRAVELERS. - Tlio Fears of 1'coplo Who Have Sul- fcrcd in Ilnilroad Accidents. Yesterday afternoon , says the Atlanta Constitution , several gentlemen in the department of agriculture at the capitol were discussing railroad accidents. Commissioner Henderson , who knows : ow to toll a good story , remarked Unit those who had suffered in railroad acci dents were never able to rid themselves of the apprehension that they would suffer again. "The other day , " he said , "I took the fast train on the Georgia railroad for Augusta. After we passed Deeatur the speed was at thu rate of Ihirtj'-fivc miles an hour. 1 noticed a man in a scat in front of mo who was plainly disturbed about something , lie would look out of the window a moment , and then ho would clutch the arm of his seat as if fearing that he would fall out. This performance was repeated so often , that 1 began to think the man was sick. Finally , how ever , I decided ho must have been , .U sometime a sufferer in a railroad acci dent. About that time I arrived at this decision he left his seat and walked back and sat down by mo. " 'Look here , ' he said , 'don't you think , the engineer of this train is running wildly1 "Why ? " ] inquired. "Well , because ho is running so rapIdly - Idly , .lust look at this ear. It rocks like a cradle. I believe the engineer is drunk. "Then the man became very mucii excited - cited , Ho jumped up and said : "The engineer is drunk , snro's as yon'ro born. It ought to be looked into at once , and somebody else should be placed m charge of the oncino. " "Why , my friend , " said 1 , "the train is ruining at it usual rate of speed , and them is no occasion for alarm. " MWhut is the usual rate of speed ? " ho 'Thirty-live ' miles an hour. " "My reply seemed to quiet him , and he sat down and began to road a news paper. Satisfied that ho had suffered in a railroad accident , i said to him : " 'You must have been in a railroad accident some time ago.1 --Vo.i . , , ; 2 J'telrt. ' ° replied. 1 was.

Well , I never thought my unfor tunate oxpcrionenco would prevent my future railroad jorneys , but 1 was mis taken. "A few days ago T took a train on the Western & Atlantic railroad , intending to go homo. 1 felt no apprehension tin- till well out of Atlanta , and then I found that I grow more and moro uneasy as the syeo ofthu train increased , I stood the worry until the tr.iin reached Baltan , six miles from Atlanta , and then I got out and returned to the city- " Another member of the pany related an incident which came under his notice last Sunday. "I was on mv way to Chattanooga,11 1 said , "by the fcnst Tennessee , Virginia & ( ieorgla railroad. On the train was a young follow from New York who was traveling through the south for thu fun ifL the thing. About seven miles from Chattanooga L- Lu tanooga a tunnel -caved in some time ago , necesbitatingvan arrangement with the Western & Atlantio railroad by which the trains of the KastTennohco , Virginia & Georgia railroad switch oil upon the track ofthe former to get into the city. Fifteen minutes are given in which to rune seven miles. It the train is slightly behind time the run Is a lively one. That was the case Sunday. The train rushed toward Chattanooga ut aternlle rate of sneed , causing the cars to rock nbout unpleasantly. The young fellow from Now York turned as whitens a sheet. Ho throw his arms over thu buo k of tlio' scut in front of him , anil field ou for dear life.

ROYAL SUtcfDES. .Monai-clm Who VoTitni'itrlly heft Thin Knrilily .SpliiM-e. Now York World : There have been comparatively fi-w In-tanees of suicide among tlnv o'eriipanls of the thrones of minium limes. The mo-t recent ease was that of Abdul Ax.i/ Svltan of Turkey , who killed him self in .Jirne , 18To , by oiontng ] the veins of his arm with a pair of eissors. Ins Mibjects had ivhelh'd ngninst him , and tineoniieil of ministers " had determined to remove him and aiipmnt his nuphew Alurad as sultan in his stead. In IMitf , Theodore , nnperor of Abys- Miiin. is said by some authorities to have shot himself , while others assert that hu was killed in battle by the British in vaders. On October 8 , 1820 , Henry Chrlstopho , king of Haytl , In order to prevent himself being taken prisoner bv the insurgents , who had gained ascendency in the island , shot himself through the heart. Charles VI , king of France , probably inherited a tain ! of insanity from .his fa- ther. and the lattorpart of hi" life was embittered by monomania , imiiilfu.-tinji itself in the apprehension that Ins chil dren had conspired to poison him. Under this apprehension he refused food for seven days , and died of starvation near Boiirges on July SJ2 , HU1. Concerning the death of Hiehard II. , king ot Kngiand , there were at the time various uonllictini ! reports , and there has continued to be a ilill'ereiice of opinion amonir historians. Walsingham , Otter- bourn and Peter ofBlois say that he also .starved himself to death. ' 1 here is a cer tain parallel between the case of Pochard II. and that of Ludwig II. Both were weak cliaraeters ; both wcro deposed in behalf of stronger aspirants to power ; both were shut up in a castle for safe keeping , and both were reported to have committed .suicide. In the case ot the English king , however , the weight of the evidence perhaps tavors the heory that some interested persons assisted in his taking off. Among the ancients it appears Unit suicide was rather a popular form of death. Many of the philosophers advo cated it ns an honorable and convenient method of ending existence , and gave a certain tierlincneo to their teaching bv putting it in practice themselves. Among the long list of rulers of an tiquity who died by their own hand are Nero , Cleopatra. Dido , Boadicca , queen of the Icom in Britain ; Otho , of Kome ; Ptolemy , of Cyprvs ; Mithridatcs , of Pon- tns ; Said , of Israel ; Hameses the Great. and Sardanapalus.of Assvria , who burned himself in his palace with his wives. His licit-ship. Chicago Herald : A singular will case has just been decided Louisiana in a way which will give great .satisfaction to the public , whether it is'in accordance with the law and precedent or not. Some years ago a notorious woman named T ownsend , who h-ul accumulated a vast fortune in New Orleans/ was murdered bv her paramour , a fellow named Sykes. The crime was | a ' brutal ono , but the intirderen was not se verely punished. Soon after the woman's deatli it was discorered that she had made a will , by the 'Wins of which her murderer had becomoMief'sole heir. The outcry against the execution of this in strument was so greai , that the attorney general proceeded to contest it , and so well has ho conducted the case that the supreme court liasdeclded in favor of the state , cutting oll'Sykc's ns an ingrate and awarding all of the woman's property to the commonwealth , she having no known relatives. A similar ease is pending in New York state , where n man who murdered another lias been found to bo chosen heir of liis victim. Whatever may bo donn with the money in such cases , the eternal fitness of things can be observed only by denying to murderers and their relatives any benefits derived by icason of crime. B.
