Some friends who attended the funeral
of a young lady in London had a novel
experience the other day. A few weeks
before the young lady had sung “Nearer,
My God, to Thee” into a phonograph, and
after the funeral ceremony the hymn
was reproduced.

A Queer Idea.
For many years it was believed that
the atmosphere had a great deal to do
with thread making, and that good
thread could only be made in Scotland.
It is now known that it is all in the twist
and nothing in the atmosphere.—Detroit

Her Foot or Her Life.
With her foot wedged between the
guard rails at the Short Line yards, Miss
Katie Wills, a young woman of the East
End, was ran down by a train of freight
cars. Her foot was ground off, but by
the rarest presence of mind she was saved
from death.
Miss Wills was outwalking with a girl
friend. While walking through the net-
work of tracks in the yards Miss Wills
stepped upon one of the rails. Her foot
slipped, and in some way was caught be-
tween the track and a guard rail. At

only a short distance off. Seeing the im-
pending danger she ran to the assistance
of the captive, and together they used
all their strength in trying to extricate
her foot. But it was caught as in a vise.
On account of a slight curve in the track
at that point the engineer did not see the
young woman until it was too late.
In a last effort to save her life, Miss
Wills threw her body from the track,
but her left foot was still hold firmly,
and through her agony of mind she saw
the wheels roll over her leg midway be-
tween the knee and ankle, severing the
member completely. The shoe which
had been cut off with the foot could
hardly be drawn from the track, so
tightly had it been wedged in.
Miss Wills is 18 years of age and is an
unusually pretty girl. The terrible strain
of the few seconds she was held between
the rails and the physical pain suffered-
threw her into such a condition that it is
feared her death will result.—Louisville

No One Responsible.
The gallows now used in Colorado is
so arranged that a spring is set loose by
the weight of the victim on the trap, and
he acts as his own executioner. This
saves the sheriff or any one else acting
as hangman, and no one’s conscience is
troubled if there is any bungling.—De-
troit Free Press.
He First Opposed Mrs. Custer’s Pension.
The principal opposition in the house
to the recent bill to increase Mrs. Gen-
eral Custer’s pension came from a mem-
ber from Indiana, who seemed to think
that army officers’ widows lived lives of
ease and luxury, and did nothing to sup-
port themselves. When he learned, how-
ever, that Mrs. Custer was one of the
busiest women in the country, and had
been hard at work for fourteen years, he
turned about and made a speech in her
favor, and the bill went through. Mrs.
Custer is now preparing a series of talks
on “Plains Life” for delivery before
school girls and boys and before women’s
clubs. With her husband’s sister, Mrs.
Calhoun, who is also a busy woman, she
has gone into temporary retirement at
Atlantic City to recruit her strength for
future work.—Harper’s Weekly.
Given Away by His Daughter.
A somewhat unusual scene in an Epis-
copal church in Cardiff occurred not
long since. It appears that the pastor
took what he thought was a seasonable
opportunity to reprove the members of
his church for their non-attendance at
Sunday morning worship. He imparti-
ality included his own family. As soon
as he had concluded his own daughter
rose up and said that her father, when
he first awoke, could not rise unless his
hot water was brought up and the towel
was placed under his nose.
She related how boots had to be cleaned,
fires lighted and the breakfast prepared,
and then went on to describe how the
worthy clergyman required his book and
his coat, and his gloves, and his hat, and
his stick, and—his cake and his wine,
before he was ready to start to his work.
This was all detailed with minuteness
and volubility. The reverend father
kept no servant, and there was the house-
hold work to be done, and, besides, he
insisted upon a hot dinner served with
punctuality. Under these circumstances,
the lady pleaded, was it possible for her
to get to worship on a Sunday morning?
The sympathies of the audience were
with the daughter. It is not likely that
the good parson will soon repeat his
complaint of non-attendance. — South

LOCAL NOTES.
Anderson Gibson had a charge of in-
sanity entered against him on the police
register last evening.
Houses are too scarce in Galveston to
have many of them go up in smoke,
are other and better uses for them.
Only sixty-six days until the city
election under the new charter. Candi-
dates will thus be warned to get a move
on themselves.
* Some unknown friend has the thanks
of Evening Tribune for a marked copy
of the New York Evening Post, contain-
ing an interesting article on the Mafia
and Italians of New Orleans.
A chimney fire at 11 o’clock this fore-
noon in a house occupied by Mrs. Bur-
nett, on avenue H between Twenty-
third and Twenty-fourth streets, was
extinguished before it could do any
damage.
Buffalo Mussetto was accidentally shot
in the leg hunting down the island yes-
terday afternoon in company with Vit-
tous Bernardoni. The wounded man was
brought to the city for treatment last
evening.
Charles Martin and Ben Harveson
were fighting on Labadie’s wharf this
forenoon. Sergeant Henderson, with
Officers Martin and Riley, went down
in the patrol wagon and brought them
to the cooling-room.
Tomorrow (Good Friday), at 11 a.m.
and 7.30 p. m., there will be services in
the Scandinavian M. E. church, corner
Seventeenth and Mechanic streets, to
which all the Scandinavian people are
most cordially invited.
The weather clerk is doing good ser-
vice and is wearing his blandest smile.
The bright, bracing, spring mornings and
delightful nights so full of health and
vigor, are unsurpassed by the climate of
any locality in the world.
Mainland property offers inducements
to those who have a taste for truck-farm-
ing that cannot be lightly overlooked.
The land is cheap, the climatic condi-
tions all that could be desired, and the
market one of constant demand.
A. Walker of Hitchcock, whois a mem-
ber of Galveston lodge, No. 126, Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, this
morning sent to Max Naumann, the sec-
retary, a lot of beautiful flowers for dis-
tribution among the officers to be elected
this evening.
Mr. James W. Byrnes, contractor for
the deep water well, is said by a gentle-
man recently arrived from St. Louis,
who has made w’ell boring in Pennsylva-
nia and elsewhere a study, to have the
most complete and substantial apparatus
for performing such work that he has
seen in any country.
A prize of $25 has been offered by the
Chamber of Commerce for the best de-
scription of the city of Galveston written
by any attendant of the Galveston schools,
and a prize of $100 for the best descriptive
article of the state of Texas. A compe-
tent committee, made up if possible of
non-residents, will render a decision.
One reason why some of the principal
retail liquet dealers in this city have re-
sisted the payment of the state and
county licenses is said to be that while
the United States Collector of Internal
Revenue has issued 635 goverment per-
mits to retail liquor dealers, only twenty
have been taken out for the state and
county.
Services at the church of the Sacred
* Heart, on Broadway, between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets, are an-
nounced as follows: Today and tomor-
row at 7 p. m., office of Tenebrae, fol-
lowed by a sermon on Holy Thursday on
the Most Holy Sacraments, and on Fri-
day by a sermon on the Passion of Our
Lord, by Rev. Father de la Moriniere,
S. J. Morning service on good Friday
begins at 7 and on Holy Saturday at 6.30
o’clock.
Matter of more than ordinary interest
is coming in for Evening Tribune’s
Saturday edition and so are the orders
for the paper. The business men and
the property owners of this city are too
public-spirited to let a good thing like
tliis for Galveston’s advancement pass
On Saturday afternoon from 4 to 7
o’clock a Cake and Easter Egg Sale will
be given in the Lecture Room of St.
John’s Church, corner of Twenty-fifth
street and Broadway. *
Saxe’s Dencious Cream Soda is ac-

Foreign Reciprocity.
All this talk about reciprocity with
foreign powers may be in order, but Gal-
veston people must remember that
’ Schneider Brothers carry the largest
stock and quote the lowest prices of gro-
