On July 13 o* ibat year eight men •ta.-ted from Zermatt In a party to attempt the f-at—Lord Francis Douslaa. Mr Whytuper ‘who had fail'd eight tin.e* In the Mme task!, the Her. Chat. Ht-dson. Robert Hadow, a college man. Michael Cruz, a gnlde, and three other guld*a all named Taugw&lder. father and two aons. On that evening they camped 11,000 fea t above the ae.v The next morning seven oCithern started early, leaving on-, of the Taugwalder brothers with the baggage. At 10 o’clock, when they •topped for an hour, they were 14,000 fe.! above tide water. From that time tbelr labor* became excessively arduous and the>r progrtss slow, hut after long detour* and awkward sealing of ley precipice*, they at last ren.bed the anmmlt »oon after noon, and commanded one of the Onrat views In the world, which co man had ever seen till them Their excitement was ictecse. their triumph complete. After on boor's real they started down, carefully roped together. Crox went first, then Hadow. Hudson. Lord VrancU. the elder Taugwalder. bU son. and Mr. Wbrmper In the order named. The'way wa* so diOcnlt that hut oci man moved at a time. IVhen he ^jad found a resting place and was , ftnnly fixed, the next man cautiously followed down to the post Just vacated. While the re*t clung to the face of the rock or ice to sustain the shock If he ■Upped. Croz guided the feet of Hadow tutj foothold*. Having firmly fixed dfctm Id place, he ^wa* In the act of tnniicg to find a new post for himself, 'when Hadow slipped, struggled and 'toppled over him. throwing him outward. In another moment Hudson wa» torn from'his grips and was falllag after tb«m. and Lord Francis ItnwcJiatc'.y followed. The other three Inraed back aad braced themselves. The rope was taut between them and Ml! cstight the shock at once. They clung to the rock, but the rope between Lord Francis and the elder Taugwalder broke, and the four men went sliding helplessly down over rock and Ice, urn •hie to find a projection to which to rilng. They struggled desperately, but could not stop themselves, and one by one (ell over a precipice and dropped to .the glacier. 4u00 feet below. - Three of the bodies were soon recov ered. but that of Lord Frauds Douglas was Dover found. The glacier ha* moved since thee about one foot a day. sod the part on which he fell has alroo»t reached the point of breaking up. The supposition that he fell Into a crcvans-e and »o may have been borne along with the glacier, has led to the r setting of a watch. But that fact Is nnestat.lt*lied, and no very accurate k toweldge of the rate of movement of the giact-r la available, to that the hope of finding the body rests on a slender foundation. A FAMOUS ENGINE. Not long age a little old fashioned switch engine wa» hatrkled down the mala ilde of a Western railroad to be thrown into the scrap pile. Dingy, rusty, worn out. not worth repairing further it was yet of tui&cient Impor- . lance to attract to stjJJon platform* hundred* of men sad women who had •at fsrgottee tbe record of “Engine 97. «f tbe Alton, and wanted a last look, •t the old machine. Jift a third of a century

.train was tide tracked, and sen were stationed at all tbe switches to assure Mfety Louis Hawks wa* at tbe throttle of the little engine—little as engine* go to-day. but n big fellow them He gave W notch after notch of tbe throttle till the train flew at a wonderful speed. From Cbenoa to Pontiac. ten miles, tbe train passed In ten minutes From Dwight to Gardner, nine miles, wa* covered In nlpe minutes Then in a burst of speed that made the wondering official* In the deapatcher'a office gape m amasement. •Ur' wheeled off the seven miles from Wilmington to El wood In barely six

minutes.

At the throttle Hawks sat bent for ward, hi* eye* Intent on the track, ■trained, nervous over, this never before equaled -peed, coaxing hi* engine with a magician'* hand . And at laat. in almost an even three hours be closed the throttle and brought tbe in In ta a atop In the smoke enshrouded city after a record making run of one hundred and twenty-sere* miles. The story of that ride went everywhere ■■ one of tbe great feat* In connection with thr big fire. Sermon* were preached about the engine, and I magaxmes spread pictures of It broadcast Like tbe “Jobu Bull" of the Camden and Amboy line, or the “General” which once pulled Andrews and bis raiders. “WT" was. aet down for immortal fame. But no such eaxy berth awaited it at those others found—levc 1 sidings in showy exposition*. It pulled special trains Uli tt wna out of date, and then was put Into the shops and made Into a switch engine. In. which guise It wpre itself out. Lotus Hawk*, too. grew old In service and died a Uttie before bis engine, on January 3, 1005, after nearly fifty years of continuous service. PAUL JONES' FIRST COMMAND. Reluming home from the West Indies after his voyage as a slaver, the yellow fever broke out on the ship on which he had taken passage. Tbe captain and mate died, the crew wss reduced to a few sick men. but John Paul, defying the fever as hr defied every enemy, would never go below except to aid the auffering. but spent his days In the rigging. In the end he took command of the ship and brought her Into port with a crew of fire men. Tbe owners of tbe brig allowed him •uniinary salvage and made him matter of tbelr finest full-rigged ship. As captain of thl* vessel lie made three fu(l voyages from Whitehaven, her home port, to Virginia and tbe West Indies. It was on one of these voyages that, haring a difficulty with a burly, mutinous nfulatto of tbe crew, be knocked the man down with a belaying pin. Some weeks after tbe man died, and Captain Paul, on his return to Whitehaven, wa* arrested for murder. This incident waa favorably made much of by a clast of English writers who were fond of portrylng Pan) Jones as merely a ruthless pirate, a brigand' of the aea. But an English Jury summarily acquitted him. He testified In his own behalf wttb tbe frankness and fearlessness of his nature. When asked, if he had not used more force than was necessary to preserve discipline, he answered: "May It please this bonora Die court i may say that It became necessary to strike a mutinous sailor- Whenever It becomes necessary for a commanding officer to strike a seaman. It Is alsq necessary to strike with s'weapon. I may say that the necessity to strike carries with It the necessity to kill or completely disable' the mutineer. I bad two brace of loaded pistols In my belt and could easily have shot him. I styllck with ■ belaying i>ln In prefercnca. bei I hoped I might subdoV-hlm wl killifig him.' Later In Ufa Panl Jot threw overboard the cat-o’-nlne-talla on ererj - American war vessel he took command of. and treated his fighting sailors with a regard and consideration unknown in those rough lime*.—Lynn Tew'Sprague, in the Outing Magazine.
