How "Battling Jack" Carney Handles the Eibbons Coaching for Pleas-ure and for Business, -er every largo city of the United States from New York to San Francisco ami St. Paul to Mew Orleans now boasts a coaching club, and tho members of these social organizations get abundance 1 of pleasure ana lots of heallh-fu- l outdoor exercise from tho aiimsemct of bowling to and fro over level roads between the city rendezvous and the country inn yo Jack if he wants to. It'll lie handy to have hiin out of the way in case of trouble." So I went on the box, and wrapping my great coat about me en-joyed to the full the sharp but bracing air of early winter and the quaint desultory chat of iuy companion. Suddenly from the starlit gloom a bron-co rider appeared racing down the trail. He hardly tightened rein to cry: "They're layiu' for ye at the top of the hill; stop a bit an' I'll bring help." Then he disappeared behind us. Jack laughed j a harsh, ominous laugh and growled: "Stop nothin'; this coach is goin' through on schedule time." I asked an explanation. He vouch-safed none save the word "road agents," and thereafter was grim, watchful, ex-pectant. All I could hear was the roll of the wheels, the click of hoofs and a peculiar bustle of activity inside the coach. The two men at my back held their Winchesters ready for use. Were they trying to frighten a presumable "tenderfoot," or was something going to hapen? I soon found ont. For two or three miles we progressed at almost a walk. Then Jack shortened the reins, coiled thorn in careful equity of length about his left wrist, and gripped the whip with his right hand. "Got a gun?" he queried. "Yes." "Better pull her; uiebbe ye can shoot somethin' if ye don't got scared. Hold on hard, for we're goin' to go like boll down hell's own road." Out swirled the lash in snaky curves, cutting deep along the flanks of the startled steeds. A wild bound, a stretch-ing of the traces, an immense increment of speed. For a moment we whirled over a level trail, and then we began a steep descent with a bluff on one side the track, a gully on the other. There came a bright flash, a sharp report, a buzzing through the air of some swift flying COACH Ota. FOR PLEASURE, that marks the termini of the journey. The start is always an exhilarating ex-perience. The millionaire driver gets on the box and takes the reins to his four-in-han- d from the grasp of a liveried lackey. The guards bustle about with ladders and aid the fair guests to seats on top where, by the aides of their nat-tily dressed escorts, they may diaplay to the best advantage their charming feat-ures and dainty toilets. There are no inside passengers, for within the doors of the coach one can neither see nor be noon, and such oblivion would destroy nil the eclat of the trip. Finally every-thing is arranged and then "All ready?" "Yep." "Let go." The hostlers jump back from the toss-ing heads of the thoroughbreds, the im-patient steeds telegraph their willing strength along the shiny black of the tugs, the wheels turn round, the cheery bugle sounds: "Ta tn ta rauta!" And the merrymakers go on their joyous way, cheered by the inspirit-ing shouts of the admiring small boy and the feebly waving handkerchiefs of envious female friends who are "not in it." They leave the crowded streets for cool country lanes, they roll along benoath the shade of glorious and grateful trees, they lunch on the broad piazza of some well appointed and high priced suburban resort, and they return with the dusk to an aristocratic caravan-sary where dinuer is but the preliminary to music and dancing. They flunk they have been coaching. In one sense of the term thoy have; in another they haven't.

Tongues of flame leaped alike from the cliff and from the coach. In front there rose a wall of fire. "Shoot, curse ye!" yelled Jack giving uie a fierce dig iu the side and at the same time goading on his already furi-ous beasts. Where I fired I know not, but all in an instant I Beetned to feel the "fierce joy of battle." It was all over in five minutes and the next I remember was our finally successful attempt on level ground with brake and rein to re-duce the frantic horses to subjection. Just in the gray of dawn we reached Dick Dear's ranch at Red Cloud and drove through the stockade gates. Dick strolled out yawning and but half at-tired. "Any news from below?" he queried. "No," responded Jack. "We waa tendered a little reception by a committee of citizens comin' down tho hill. That was all." I learned afterward that the surly men inside the treasure coach, with the two who had joined us en routo, had charge of fTiOOOO in coin and greenbacks that subsequently formed the cash capital of a Deadwood bauk.

So far I have written simply from tho standpoint of a spectator, for I never had the distinguished honor of a place by the side of Col. Delancey Kane or any other of the noted whips of that ilk; but there is one thing I would not barter for the best seat a tally-h- o can af-ford the memory of my early morning ride down Break Neck hill when "Rat-tling Jack" Carney took his foot from the brake and sent the long lash of his whip singing and snarling about the flanks of four maddened horses. That was coaching for business. Early in November. 1878, I left the Union Pacific tr.in at Sydney, Nob,, and secured transportation in a coach north bound over the Deadwood trail. My in-structions from the newspajw that then employed me were to try and catch the cavalry column operating against Dull Knife's band of Cheyennes. The vehicle in which I traveled was a steel liued, enormously heavy affair known as a "treasure coach," and the other pas-sengers were three well armed, reticent men, whose only apparent luggage was a small box chained to the rear seat. LEA VINO A STATION ON THK TRAIL. Their unsociability grew tiresome by the time we had crossed the Platte, and when one morning, soon after midnight, we halted at a station to change horses and drivers I besought the new whip for a seat beside him. j Despite the thawing influence of ev- - eral drinks and a cigar he demurred, ol- - leging that the cold would "freeze the j durned liver" out of me. While we ar- - guod the anatomical point involved iu his proposition the fresh horses were made ready and one of two new pas- - j tsengur who had already secured places j on top reniarked: "Let hiio. roost with ' stowed away.

Within 200 miles of Kansas City today there, are two grand old carvings in the forms of cabinets, about eighteen feet high, that were rarved during the Twelfth retit-ur- y by Irish monks, and were used by t he grand lodge of Masons of Ireland for over 400 years in which to keep tho grand lodge proceedings. The material of which t hey wero made is Irish oak, aud, as many are aware, ago darkens this wood.

At the session of 1872 he was elected su-preme guide (now supreme master at arms;, and served in 1873 and 1874, says The Bos-ton Globe. In 1878 Bro.

Massachusetts Slaking Bapid Strides Toward the Banuer. Massachusetts is making rapid strides iu her advance upon the states with the largest membership. She now occupies sixth place, being only 38 behind California, and at the gait she has set, if it is main-tained for six months, both Illinois and Missouri will be passed. Ohio shows a net gain of 29 for April, which is an excellent report, considering the embarrassing circumstance attending her litigation on account of Hamilton county. Over 100 applications for membership were received by the various lodges in St. Louis during the month of May. There are at present 432 lodges in Missouri, with a total membership exceeding 22,000.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR. St. Louit aud the Supreme Lodge Gen-eral CoMlp. Says The St. Louis St. Louis has again secured the supreme lodge headquarters without any opposition, and from the expressions made by tho supreme lodge representatives generally concerning St. Louis city, her hospitable citizens aud her solid business enterprises the chances are that for years to come the headquarters will remain in Missouri. This fact alone should stimulate the various lodges of the order in this city and state to increase the membership by securing the applications of tho best citizens, and to encourage the holding of more open meetings where the excellencies of the order may be shown to invited guests. Although the proposition to reduce the age limit to 45 years was defeated in the late session of the supreme lodge, there is a strong probability that the question will again present itself. Were the matter left to the subordinate lodges it would meet with an emphatic condemnation. All that is necessary to show the vulue of the oldor members is to direct attention to the June circular, which contain a list of 152 deaths, fourteen of whom joined the order between 20 and 30 years of age, and pre-cisely the same number between 50 and 55. The former had an average duration of membership of aeveu years and seven months, and averaged payments of $145.22, hile the older members had an average of ten years and one month and payments of $040.17. The value of the latter class in the payment of assessments was more than four to one aa compared with the former. Boston Globe. The death rate in the Knights of Honor decreased duriug the year, it being 12.6 per 1,000 iu 1889 against 13.5 in 1888. It is said of a medical examiner of one of the lodges that in filling out a certifi-cate he inadvertently wrote his name in the blank space reserved for "cause of death." Not the Picture She Wanted. A curions incident occurred at the London Royal Military exhibition re-cently. In the building there is an auto-mati- o machine which supplies a photo-graphic portrait of some "celebrity" or other to any one who "puts a penny in the slot." An elderly and iiftitrouly lady, being under the impression that this was the new contrivance for taking photo-graphs of which she had heard so much, duly inserted a bronze coin in the aper-ture, then posing herself before the ma-chine and assuming her most pleasing expression, calmly awaited the result. After an interval of a few seconds the result came; but, alas! when the lady oned the drawer the photograph she extracted therefrom displayed, not her own form and features, but the figure of a female acrobat in full professional cos-tume Ancient Order of Hibernians. Tho reports from the national conven-tion of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, held at Hartford, Conn., show a phenom-enal growtli in the order. During the past two years 58,058 members have been added to its membership, 14fl countiea being Tho order is now represented in 8 states, 4 territories aud 4 provinces, and 88,249 members have received $til0,820.84 sick benefits. It has buried 279 members, which cost $73,072.50. It has paid 4 for charitable purposes, and has a balance in the treasury of $1,480,350.77. When the last Pennsylvania convention was held at Newcastle, Lawrence county, there were but 12,000 members in the state, and now it is estimated that the member-ship reaches nearly 20,000. In Philadelphia, National Delegate Mau-rice P. Wilhere says, there are about 7,000 members, the number increasing in sixteen years from 150. At the recent national convention it was shown, Mr. Wilhere says, that, there is a membership in the United States and Canada of 168,000. A Long Public Career Ended. Hon. Ooorge, W. McCrary, who died recently at St. Joseph, Mo., will be known to United States history aa the author of the electoral commission bill, which resulted in the seating of Mr. Hayes as president, and aa a member of the cabinet of that executive. Mr. McCrary waa born at Evausville, Ind., Aug. 89, 1885. InlSSAhe began the prac-tice of law at Keokuk, la., and the succeeding year became a member of the state legislature. From 1801 to 1805 he was a stale senator. In 1868 he went to con-gress as one of the Iowa delega- - w-- h'crary. tion and Served as a representative until 1877, when he became secretary of war. At the time of his death Mr. McCrary waa consulting attorney for tho Atchi-son, Topeka and Santa Fe railway. RED MEN. AKavlew of the Present Situation oC the Order. With tho close of last moon eight great councils eutered upon a new great sun's work, viz., Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Illiuois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The Council Brand reviews the situation at the present time as follows: Pennsylvania hiis already kindled three new tribal council fires and has several more under way. Georgia has put an or-ganizer in tho field. Alabama intends to do good work, and the harmonious session of the great council of Illinois and the good feeling prevailing in that state is in-dicative that the order there will be ad-vanced. Ohio has selected a board of great chiefs who will enter into tho work with a deter- - minatiou to meet with success. In Michi-gan there have been certain causes why the order during the past few great suns has not made the advancement that it should, but we learn that the causes have now leeu removed and good work will be ilono iu the state. Connecticut needs a little stirring up. She has not been as active during the past great suu as was necessary to make d progress. Virginia, one of the oldest great councils, did good work last great sun, but will make a greater advancement duriug the present term. , Intcmalional Fraternal Alliance. Commonwealth, of Boston, is liooimng and is now tho largest assembly in Massa-chusetts. Over 10,000 policies have been written up and the membership is now increasing at the rate of 800 per month.

At the recent session of the supreme lodge at Detroit the reports showed a total membership of 135,000 in round cumbers. This is a gain of more than 30,000 in ten years.

When the emperor of China made his pilgrimage two or three months ago to the tombs of his ancestors he allowed himself to be seen by the people, and even conversed with and received peti- tions from them. This is the first time iu thousands of years that a Chinese em-peror's face has been seen by the lower of his subjects, aud formerly aa effort on the part of one of them to speak to the emperor would have been cause for exsrariating torture and final death.
