The Interurban

There is no doubt of the fact that the city of Richmond needs as many Interurban lines as it can get The more it can get, the better every one knows that. The problem is: How la it going to get them? The plan advanced by the Commercial Club seems a mighty good one. We believe that It in purely an unselfish move on the part of the men at work and it should be appreciated. For somebody has to put his shoulder to the w heel and push the thing through or it will never be put through.

The best way to tell whether an Interurban line would be a good thins for the town and the community is to auk the question as to whether we would like to do without the onca which we have at the present t mc. Every one knows what the answer to that question is. It isn't even a question.

The Commercial Club has taken up the work of making a success of securing another interurban line for Richmond and the surrounding territory. Interurban linos are not built out of nothing; even after the route has been well selected and the engineering problems have been discussed, it is the financial end of it that is the hardest. The investor is one part of the public service corporation that is too little considered by the pub-' lie and the promoter. He holds the bag. But the public also must fill the bag after the line has been put into operation. The problem facing any body of public spirited men who want to promote a public service of this sort is a delicate one. If iu their anxiety to afford an opportunity to investors so that their money can be employed in the operation of the interurban business the problem may eventually be made more difficult by the possibility of giving the public the worst end of it when the proposition goes out of the hands of the public spirited men that started it. The Commercial Club is reported not to be in favor of subsidies unless there is no other way for this to be accomplished without them. In that we believe they are pre-eminently right. The field that they have selected for their operations is to say the least as good a territory as the rest of the lines enjoy and that is saying much in a state where interurban lines are more highly developed than any place else.

We are mighty glad that the Commercial Club is taking this up. It means real live boosting in the town which is worth while when men are willing to tackle so big a thing. This can be made a good thing for the whole community if every one will work together. And since it is a thing for public benefit we feel sure that the community can trust those in charge to see that no loopholes are left in the proposal either in its capitalization or in the ways in which public service corporatons affect the community by which the community can suffer.

FOUR NURSES TENDER SERVICES TO ARMY Chicago, March 18. Four young woman nurses, all of them patriotic, one of them "fond of blood," another anx ious for excitement, one In love with the Mexican climate and the fourth alleged to be In love with an army surgeon, reported to the United States army recruiting office, 4SS State street, and asked Lieutenant Kenny to place them on the list of Red Cross nurses who are anxious "to go to the front" in case of war. They reported to the lieutenant fol lowing an appeal made by him to the local hospitals for the mimes of nurses who would be willing la go to war as Red Cross, nurses. All of them are graduate nurses and thoroughly competent. They deny they are going because of the romance attached to that sort of life or because of the possible romance which may enter their lives after arriving. They are serious-minded, they say. and anxious to perfect themselves in their profession. A Literary Age. This Is a literary age." "Think so. grandpa?" "Yep.

News Forecast For Coming Week

Washington, March 18. Developments in the Mexican situation doubtless will continue to absorb public attention.' The president will be back in Washington to keep in closer touch with the direction of affairs and to devote as much time as he can spare to the preparation of the message he will send to the special session of congress upon its opening. The Interstate commerce commission will begin a hearing in Washington Monday on 13 applications filed by transcontinental railroads for relief from the operation of the long and short haul clause as amended by the new commerce law which was included among the Mann-Elkins amendments. At Atlanta Tuesday Commissioner Colquitt will hear the application of Greene and Gaynor, convicted of complicity in the Savannah harbor frauds for permission to take the pauper's oath and thereby relieve themselves of paying the fine of $373,000 imposed by the government in connection with prison sentences. The government opposes their release and will endeavor to show that Greene and Gaynor have considerable property under cover and are not entitled to the privilege of the pauper's oath.

FIRE ENDANGERED HARVORD STUDENTS Cambridge, Mass., March 18. One student was rescued in an unconscious condition, many ot here were awakened barely' in time to escape the flames, and all were driven scantily clad, to the street by a fire that badly damaged Randolph hall, one of the most exclusive Harvard dormitories. Firemen, policemen and janitors of the building rushed through the apartments, rousing the stupified occupants, and with difficulty succeeded in clearing the building without loss of life. On the top floor, Y. Arat, a Japanese student, was discovered unconscious, the policeman barely escaping with the prostrate student while the flames filled the hallway. The loss to the building is estimated at $25,000, with an additional loss of $10,000 in room furniture and student effects. MASONIC GALENDAR Tuesday, March 21. Richmond Lodge No. 196. F. & A. M.

Ore. IN HISTORY"

A urora Bungle-A Short Story By ANNE CHARLOTTE LEFFLER

Miss Aurora Bungle was the heiress of vast estates and a belle of Swedish society. But she bad never married, She had never found the man whom she loved to the extent of giving up! her freedom. Time, however, pressed? j She was thirty years old and the j Baroness, her mother, wished to see j her married before the natural beauty ; of her face and figure faded further. I Miss Gungle held out against her i mother and at the end of a hard so- i cial season was still unengaged. The I Baroness possessed many estates along i uie sea snore and it was m one or , these remote islands that she spent the summer that her daughter might i regain her beauty for the coming seas on. Aurora loved the open air. She swam for hours in the limpid sea, then sunned herself on the white sand. Sometimes she helped an old fisherman pull in his nets. Sometimes she took a sail. All her former beauty returned. Her neck filled out, her face attained a beautiful color, and her arms were like those of a Greek goddess. There was a rocky island some dis tance from the shore which was surlounded by reefs on which many a vessel had foundered. A few years previous a lighthouse had been built there and a small house for the keeper. Au rora wanted to visit the island, but something had always t-revented her from carrying out her plan. The trip was rather difficult as it was impossi- i ble to land except under very favorable circumstances. At last, one day towards the end of June, the fisherman thought it might be done, although not without danger. When they landed Aurora looked at the rocks and the little house. How dreadful it must be to live" there. No trees, not a flower or a blade of grass! Everything was gray, the house, the rocks and lighthouse, yes even the air. She felt strangely oppressed when the man came out to meet them. Yet the sight of him made a great impression upon her. He was tall, had large eyes and an expression of tenderness about his well formed lips strangely in contrast with the almost brutal force of his broad shoulders. They did not exchange many words, but Aurora felt his eyes resting on her all the time while he showed her his house, which consisted of two stories, one room in each. "Have you lived here long alone?" she asked. "Ever since my mother died three years ago." ' "You must miss her very much," she asked. "I do, although she was weakminded and I always had to watch her for fear she would jump into the sea." "How dared you keep her here?" "I loved her," was the simple answer. The wind had increased in strength and it was difficult to keep the boat from being smashed against the rocks. The fisherman entered to say that they must return at once, if at all that day. The lighthouse keeper looked through the window. "It is impossible to start now. The wind has turned," he said, "and is increasing every moment." "But what are we to do," asked Aurora turning pale. "Are you afraid to stay here?" "No, but it is impossible. Mother will worry, herself to death. I must go back. Come, let us start immediately," she said to the fisherman. She threw her rug across her shoulder and went outside. The two men followed her. The.horizon was black and the wind was howling furiously. The waves were throwing their white spray all over the island. "There is a cove on the other side oi that rock, where there is some shelter. Take the boat there right away. There is a small cabin where you may stay," the keeper 6aid to the fisherman. "I will look after the lady here." "Thank you, but I can't. I dare not, my mother will be in despair," Aurora murmured alrd wanted to go down in the boat. He put his heavy hand on her shoulder and said with the firm determination peculiar to sailors: "It is of no use, Miss. Now you are here, I am responsible for your safety." A strange feeling of confidence came upon her. She almost felt as if she wanted to put her hand in his and 6ay: "I will go wherever you take me."

They entered the house iu silence.

'"There is a bed In the lower room," t he said, "not a very comfortable one I lam afraid, but it is the best I have to offer." j He opened a cupboard and put a' basket of provisions on the table. Then he left her after giving her some j books. But she could not read. She j was thinking. Why should there be a chasm between her and this maa?; Why was he not ber equal? j Because she was a lady of noble ; birth and he a plain lighthouse keeper. or wtiat value was ner uirin ana. education on this little shell of an is-j land separated from all the world by ' a roaring sea? Here they were noth ing but a man and a woman, and the house was their common shelter against the elements. And as long as the storm lasted she was far more poor and weak than he. Everything here was his, she was his guest, nothing more. The storm lasted for three days and nights. In the morning of the second day the fisherman left his shelter cove but as it was impossible to aiproach the island he set sail for the shore. The fourth day he came back. Aurora and the lighthouse keeper saw him from afar. He was silent for he feared the answer he felt she would give him to his question. At last he said: ; "When will we meet again?" Then she threw her arms around his neck, pressed her cheek against his and kissed him. "Never," she whispered. "Then I can't let you go." "You must. You know that as well as I do. My mother would never let me stay here. And where should we meet?" Hot anger darkened his face and his fists clenched. She gave a cry of fear. He laughed. But she said simply: "It is the savage in you that scares me, but I am not afraid of death. Take me into your arms and jump into the sea. I shall close my eyes and cling to you. But you have to decide quickly. There is the boat." It was evident she meant what she said, but he dared not. A few moments later the boat tqok her back. She never looked back towards the island. The months flew by. Again the gay social season made Stockholm a city of enchantment. Again Aurora wras the center of attraction. But she was sadly changed. No longer did she care for the pleasures of a gay life. Her mother was distracted. At last the Baroness chose a husband for her and insisted that she marry, thinking that the excitement of the marriage would dispell the cloud of gloom that had darkened her nature. Preparations were made for the nuptials. The trousseau was ordered, the carriage arrived but the beautiful Aurora was missing. The Baroness was driven to distraction. Search was made everywhere but she could not be found. The door bell rang and a messenger appeared bearing a telegram. The Baroness tore it open and read. "I have given up all for him I love. In the future I reside in the Gray lighthouse by the sea. Aurora." LEAGUE OF SOLACE FOR LONELY WORKERS New York, March 18. Several men and women, who sympathize with the lonely young women in the hall room and the friendless young men who wonders where he will spend the evening after hiB work, are to form a league to help these lonely ones. ( With this in view the Less Lonely league has been started, with L. J. Wing of 90 West street as president. On Tuesday evening there will be a meeting of the league at the home of Mrs. E. E. Taylor, 157 East One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth street. The league hopes to open a club house here and eventually branches will be established all over the United States. The rules of the league are simple and membership is limited to those who have to lead a lonely life Creed, social position or money will not figure in the membership, which will be continued so long as good be-,-havior is maintained.

PLAN All ATTACK

On New Indiana Employers Liability Law. Indianapolis, Ind., March 18. The legal department of the Indiana Manufacturers bureau has prepared for members of the latter an analysis of the employer's liability law enactVd during the last session of the legislature. The law is causing large employers much uneasiuess. The leg's! department takes the view that much of the new law is a re-enactment of the old one on the same subjects, and that practically all the rest will be held to be unconstitutional. It is understood that the Manufacturer's bureau will attack the constitutionality of the law at an early date. One of the grounds for opposing it is that it is class legislation. The legal department maintains that the law is invalid because it makes an inuemployer responsible for the acts of his servant or employes while the latter is not engaged in the employ er's business. Employer's generally are receiving word from indemnity insurance companies that their rates are being rais ed from 50 to 200 per cent, because of the new law. The coal operators probobly will be hit harder than any other class of employers. Their rates will be advanced about 200 per cent in many cases. Then new law will cost many of the large coal operating companies thousands of dollars annually in insurance premiums. Operators say the only recourse they have is to raise the price of coal.

BE AMONG THE LEADERS and Buy an EXCELSIOR AUTO CYCLE THE EXCELSIOR is known the country over as the best motor cycle made not only for speed, but endurance and numerous other reasons. Read of, these many convincing reasons. It will tell you why vou should buy the Excelsior. HERE ARE A FEW OF THE REASONS: It is the most economical in its up-keep, taking less gasoline ? than other makes. It has a belt drive which accounts for its being noiseless and smooth riding. With its long handle bars and low saddle position it makes it the most comfortable riding machine made. Another good feature of the Excelsior is that the machine is entirely under control by- handle grips. In case of accident, the mechanical parts are so protected that it will not be damaged in the least. Many premiums have been given this machine in speecT and endurance tests. We handle all repairs for this machine, which is another advantage of the Excel

sior over other makes.

For speed the Flying Merkel has no equal. It was built for speed. Just to give you an idea of what can be expected of this machine, Chas. Balke, commonly known among riders as the "fearless" made a run of one mile in 53 seconds in San Francisco, Cal. You will find this remarkable machine at our store. Come to the store and you will readily see why it has been named the "Flying Merkel."

INDIA PLAGUED WITH HOOKWORM DISEASE Washington, March 18. Hookworm is largely responsible for the heavy death rate when famine or plague breaks out in India and other Eastern countries. This was the declaration made by Wickiiffe Rose, administrative secretary of the Rockefeller sanitarium for the eradication of Hookworm disease. Weakened by suffering from hookworm infection, Mr. Rose declared that a large proportion of the people in India were not able to withstand hunger. The same is true, he added, in regard to plague. If once they get a start they spread like wildfire because of the anaemic condition of the people.
