THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1884.
A CAR-FARE ROMANCE.
The Counterfeit Nickel which was SO
Denr to a Tramp.
Omaha Herald.
“I-want a beer, end I don't want it,"
said a terdy-looking fellow to a barki-nper
in a Mint. 1 Dodge street saloon last night.
* Here'a the last nickel I’ve got In the
world, bnt that isn't why I hate to give it
iip. That nickel ruined me."
•'It did I" queried the barkeeper incredu
lously.
es, it did; or rather a girl that owned
it did. Don't ask me what her name was,
1 never knew. It * ft) three > ears ago,
and 1 had a forty-five dollar job In one of
the railway offices. One day I met this
girl In a red-line street car—a glorious be
ing she was, and I was dead gone the min
ute I saw her. When she passed up her
faro I was so nervous that I dropped the
nickel, for her finger tips touched mine and
a big thrill slid all the way up to the
end of my hair and nearly raised my-h it
off. I made some apology for my clumsi
ness, which gave me a chance to hear her
ape< k. Then 1 fished up this nidtel from
the floor, but slyly kept it myself and nc
in one of my own. Well. I wa'cbed t!m
girl as far as 1 could see her, and 1 didu .
know enough lo get off ths car until it
reached the stables. Every day alter that
I spent all the time 1 could get in
riding up and down in ihe red line ears,
but I never saw her again. Pretty
Boon I was bounced from my job for
being absent-minded and making rate
takes. I didn’t care until Hound I was
-half starved. Then I got reckless and
V-dned a circus. When the season was over
I tramped It. I’m tramping still. Well/'
with a s’gh, "give us a beer
nickel."
Afier he bad emptied the glass and gone
out a bystander asked the barkeeper to let
him see that histone co n. A tccond
glance showed that it was a counterfeit.
"I wonder," said the barkeeper slowly,
MADAME HUCUES'8 PISTOL.
Public 8>mpnthy for tho Lady Who 8hot
Her Traducer.
Paris, November 20.—Public sympathy
for Madame Hogues, who shot her tra
ducer day before yesterday, is intensified
by the feet that both M. Hogues and his
wife devotedly nnreed the sufferers from
cholera during the prevalence of the epi
demic at Mtrsaillea.
M. Paul de Casssgnac, editor of Le Pays,
considers the lady a heroine, and urges the
entire press to uphold her. M. Hogues
says his wife proposes to partake of a
"lovers’ break font’' before going to the
court. She was in excellent spirits during
the meal. Before leaving her home abe
prepared a bundle of clothes for use dur
ing* her stay in prison. She has asked the
prl*on author idea that aho may be nro-
"what sort of a girl that was—or did he
lie?" I
Standard Time.
Popular Science Monthly.
The adoption of a new standard required
a simultaneous change to be nude in the
clocks and the watches of employes upon
nearly every railroad in the United States
and Canada, the change varyP g from oue
minute and three siconds on the Pennsyl
vania railroad to forty-five minutes on the
Intercolonial railway of Canada. The ex
ceptions were two roads in the vicinity of
Denver. The chur.ee was also slight for
some of the St. Louis rosds. T ho Interro-
Jonial railway adopted the time of (lie m.v
enty-fifth meridian as a nutter of con
venience, instead of that of '*
sixtieth meiidian. to which
location Would have properly
signed it. So perfect were the prepi
lions that not a single accident at any
point is recorded as having been caused by
tho change. On Ihe day when the new
standards took effect, the clocks of about
20,GGO railway stations and the watches of
about30(4000 railway employes were rite 1 .
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of city and
town clocks were altered to conform. How
many individuals re*et their w atches it is
impot&ible to compote, but they could cer
tainly be reckoned by millions. Probably
no such singular incident has cvr r before
happened or is likely to occur again.
At the present time, from the Atlantic
ocean at the eastern extunmy of New
Brunswick to tbe Pacific coast at Oregon,
the minute hands of the railway clocks ad
watches Indicate the same minute of time
at all bears, and fully 50,COO 000 people
regulate iheir business affairs by standard
time.
While a few and for the most part
unimportant communities, and some
railway companies, did not make
the change immediately, so large a
majority adopted the sjatem on No
vember 18, 1883, that that date may be
fairly .taken as the one upon which tbe
reform took effect Several New England
railroads, tbe Central Vermont railroad
being »h© most important, commenced to
nm their trains dv "Eastern" standard
time on October 7,1883. The Central and
Bouthern Pacific railroads west of Ogden
snd Demins, tnd their branch lines, are
tho only railroads in the United States or
Canada which do not now use standard
lime, if we except two partly local roads
Jn Pennsylvania, aggregating Jess than
in Pennsylvania, aggregating Jess than
twenty miles In length. The lost to adopt
the system were tbe Union Pacific r»ilw«-
gpd th* City of Omaha, on May 1, fafci*
vided with material for modeling in clay.
M. Clovis-Hugues, n> an interview to
day expressed confidence that his wife will
ta triumphantly acquitted of any crime by
the court. Mine. Hiigues has a daily re
ception at St. Lazaire Preson. Hundreds
of cards from rat-rubers of all political sec
tions iu Pari.i and a large number of fi *ral
offerings have been sent to her. Her two
young daughters have also been permitted,,
to visit her. M. Ungues Mates that his
wife kept him in ignorance of the cause of
tho tragedy as t-Le was absent from her
home, telling hiui that she was preparing
a bust for the Baiun. •
Washington** Quarrel With Poyi e.
Cleveland Leader.
"It wns in that area, ’ said Mr. Brocket,
the white whisk*red auditor o( Alexan
dria, *‘in which Washing oq had his quar
rel with Lieut. Payne." Wo were standing
at a window on the second flror of the
market-house and looking down into the
gteat open court which it surrounds. The
court is fi-Jed with hundreds of little
wooden booths where the fanners bring
iheir produce and display it for sale on
every market day. The uie it stalls arc in
the building itself, but the whole
comparatively recent date, and In Wash
ington’* time tbe place was an opeu mar
ket apace.
"The cause of the trouble," continued
Mr. Brocket, "was political. There was a
contest for the Virginia Assembly, and
Payne held one political theory, while
Washington held another. Payne war
himself a candidate for the Legisla
ture against Fairfax, of Alexandria.
Washington supported Fairfax, and when
lie n:ei Payne he had a hot political dis
cussion with him on the spot which you
see Just below you. Payne considered
himself inst Ited by one of Washing
ton's remarks, and knocked hi.n
down. The moment the assault was
over the story went like lightning
through the town that Colonel Washington
was killed, and his troops wh > weie sta
tioned with him at Alexandria at tbe time,
rushed in. They would have made si ort
work of Payne if Washington bad not pre
vented them, and, poiniing to his black
eye, told them that it was hts affair and he
understood how to manage it. Thee
thought this meant a (b el, and the t ext
day the town waa on tin qtii vive in regard
to the affair. Tbe following morning
Payne got a note frem Washington ask
ing him to come to tbe hotel.
Payne, expecting a duel, did so,
bnt he found Washington, with his
bead tied up. in an amicable
mood. He said as Payne enterred, and I
doubt not he had his words cut and dried
before-band: "Mr. Payne.toerrUhuman;
I was wrong yts'erday, but if you have
had sufficient ta isfactlon, let us be
friends." 'Iher* was a decantur of wine
and two glasses on the table, which Wash
ington had order-d to smooth over the
trouble. The two pledged each other to
new friendship over this, and history re
lates that they continued strong friends to
the day of Washington's death. Colonel
Pavne was one of the pall-bea ers at
Washington's fin.era!.
Cleveland Accepts nn Invitation.
Naw York, November 29.—Governor
Cleveland waa waited upon in Albany by a
delegation from the Actor's Fand Society

President Arthur, Mayor Edton, Mayor-
elect Grace, and other promineht gentle
men will be invited.
