FELT HIS SUPERIORITY.Coasldered Himself Far Ahead of

the Police la One Respectat Least.

"This man, your honor, was abusing everypoliceman he came across," tesafied ancer before Justice Martin in prosecuting ahungry-looking individual who had beentaken into custody the previous evening.We tried to avoid placing him under arrest,but he continued his abuse until it could notbe endured any longer."

"What was the worst thing he calledyun?" inquired the court.

"He said, your honor," was the officer'sreply, "that he was so much superior to anyofficer he had ever seen that he would notnotice them."

The justice looked at the hungry-appear-ing individual before him and asked if hehad uttered this slander against the policeofficer, says the Chicago Chronicle.

"Yes, your honor," said the prisoner, "andI repeat it. I never knew a police officerthat was not a scoundrel, ana in this onerespect I am superior to all of them. I cangive them all cards and spades when it comesto separating an individual from his money."

The court inflicted a fine of one dollar andcosts against the prisoner.

And it was a mightypretty place. When it was all fixed upand about 300 people, the majority ofthem children, went there to haretheir first picnic, Maj.

FIRST USED IN THE STATES.

Armored Tratins Were EmployedOrigallaUy Dartin the Civil War

In This Country.

As with a great many other utili-tarian devices, the Americans were thefirst to construct an actual armor-plated train. During the civil warin the states a mob destroyed thebridges on the Philadelphia, Wilming-ton & Baltimore railway, anti in orderto prevent a recurrence of the disor-ders and to protect the line generally,the government hit upon the expedientof converting a long, flat baggage carinto a small movable battery. The carwas built up and covered in with thicksheet iron, in which were pierced anumber of loopholes for musketry.Port holes were arranged at the centerand at each end, and a cannon on atraversing turntable was mounted forduty at each or either of the port holes.The projectiles used were of a some-what extraordinary character, beingnothing more or less than disks cutfrom boiler plates.

Perhaps the most effective use of thearmored trains, upto recent years, saysthe Chicago Chronicle, was made bythe French during the siege of Paris.In these trains both engines and car-riages were bullet proof. and containeda number of loopholes. Each train car-rying four small cannon which couldbe readily and expeditiously mahneu-vered from the train, was capableof holding 500 men. Considerable usewas made of these trains in bringingin provisions to the beleagueredFrenchmen, and they were turned toaccount by the communists afterwardagainst the government troops untiltheir position was outflanked by heavynaval guns.

In the year 1842 an armored train,

which was only partially protected byboiler plates and sandbags, was usedagainst the Egyptian rebels underArabi Pasha. A similar contrivancewas also employed at Kassasin previ-ous to the British advance on Tel-el-Kebir. One operating in Chili duringthe civil war, and a sandbag protected,or "armed" train, equippeawith a fieldgun, was utilired with advantage in theSoudan quite recently. In Cuba a lo-comotive and truck, protected withthree-eighths-inch boiler plates, wassent in advance to pilot and protectfrom the rebels the trains betweenColon and Santa Clara.

The South African armored trainsnow being employed by the authori-ties consist of nothing more or lessthan ordinary cars covered with fromhalf to three-quarters of an inch ofcommon steel, the locomotives beingsimilarly protected, and a car placedin front with a gun in advance. Thesetrains are, of course, of little or nouse if the line falls into the hands oftheenemy-a few dynamite cartridgesor the removal of a rail or two (as waspainfully demonstrated in the recentdisaster to the Mafeking train) wouldrender them a source more of dangerthan service.

The German emperor has an ideathat "war cars" can be constructed ona plan which he has devised, whichwill enable teem to traverse at willover a battlefield or territory whichdoes not present impossible geograph-ical difhicu!ties. He proposes that eachcar shall be complete in itself and insize about that of a Pullman. Thesides are to be constructed to fall justabove the level of the ground, in orderto protect the wheels. These platedsides will consist of steel of great re-sisting force, and will be pierced witha requisite number of port or loopholes for quick firing and machineguns and rifles. In order that a pos-sible enemy may not be able to geton top of the car, it is to be madewith sharp bayonet spikes protrudingfrom the sides and roof. The wholeidea seems very chimerical, but as theworld-famed Krupp is responsible andhas now an experimental car in prog-ress, it would scarcely be safe to saythat there is nothing in the idea.

NOTABLE DEAD LIE THERE.

King's Chapel, Boston, First BIllttn 18119, and Its talque

Graveyard.

At the corner of Tremont and Schoolstreets in Boston stands one of themost historic churches in that city.This church is King's chapel, andwhen it was built it took the placeof a small wooden chapel standing onthe same ground. The little woodenchapel had been ereoted in the year1689, and the land on which it stoodwas taken from the public burialground by Gov. Andros. It was thefirst Episcopal church in Boston, andits attendants were chiefly the Brit.ish officers and loyalists. It had thefirst organ ever heard in New England,a certain Thomas Brattle having givenit the instrument in 1713. In the year1749 the corner stone of the presentbuilding was laid by Gov. Shirley, butthe church was not completed until1789. In that year George Washing-ton was present at an oration givenin the church celebrating its comple-tIon, aid he contributed fire guineasto the church. During the siege ofBoston this was the only church inwhich regular services were held at-tended by the British officers. Whenthe city was evacuated by the Britishthe rector sailed away to Halifax, car-rying with him the church register,communion service and vestments,sand the church was closed. A fewyears later it became the First Uni-tarian church, and it is to-day one ofthe most important of the Unitarianchurches.

Gov. Shirley lies buried in a tombbeneath the porch of the church, andin the old burying ground at the sideand in the rear of the church are thegraves of many of the good men andtrue who were among the founders ofthe city of Boston. Here may be seenthe graves of John Winthrop, of Gov.John Leverett, of Mary Chilton, ofLady Anne Andros, wife of Sir Ed-mund, the governor. Lady Androsdied in February, 1688, add her funer-al was held in the evening by torch-light. The funeral of Gen. JosephWarren, who was killed at the battleof Bunker Hill, was held In thischurch. The body was followed fromthe townhouse to the church by agreat procession, and the funeral ora-tion was by Perez Morton. In lateryears the funerals of many distin-guished Bostonians have been heldfrom King's chapel.

A VAGRANT FROM BOSTON.

Be Asteoished a Ballsl by Uo a Hig-Floew Language in

Coert.

Bailiff Kendig is recognised as somethingof a wit. The first prisoner to be subjectedto the laconic thrusts of the bailiff in thepolice court the other day was WilliamRo says the Washington Times. Thecharge against him was vagrancy, and ashe was arraigned Kendig said, sotto voce:"A rolling stone gathers no moss." iethen added, "that is a true saying." Muchto the surprise and chagrin of Kendig, tossreplied without the faintest semblance of asmile:

"Why do you not quote that aphorism cor-rectly? As we say it in Boston it is: 'Anypetrified formation endowed with a rotarymotion shows no affminity for the collectionof lichenous particles.'"

"That will do from you," said Kendig,"you are charged u a vag. Are you guilty ornot guilty?"

Ross answered not guilty, but the evi-dence was against him. Policeman Gordondeclared that he found Ross begging at theBaltimore & Ohio railroad station. Rossclaimed that the only begging he did wasto beg the policeman to release him. JudgeMills sent Ross to the workhouse for 0 daysin default of bonds in the sum of $20.

DIVORCE IS TOO COMMON.

The Courts of Eglnadr Are GruattagThem More Than Ever

Before.

Official figures show that the di-vorce court in England was not near-ly so busy in 1898 as it had been in1897. In the latter year 583 and in1898 43 marriages were dissolved. Itis worthy of note that over 65 percent. of the petitions presented tothe divorce court had reference tomarriages of from five to twentyyears' standing. The majority of allthe petitions presented were fromhusbands, but of those relating tomarriages of 20 and more years' dura-tion the larger number were fromwives.

About 70 percent. are to be credited to the estab-lished church. about eight per cent.to other denominations and about 20per cent. to the registry offices.

of children is a source of strength tothe matrimonial' bond, because itadds unspeakably to the happiness ofthe married couple.
