TANGO AS A CAUSE OF CRIME

Brooklyn Judge Blames Theft by Two Youths to Nights Given to In suspending sentence In the cases of two youths who had pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny, County Judge Fawcett In Brooklyn listed “white lights and tango nights” in the catalogue of Incentives to crime. 1 “You can’t expect to dance all night,” he said, “and He abed half the day. yet always have money for your carousals, unless you steal it. And let me tell you, our jails and penitentiaries are full of people with just such Ideas. If your family had given you good beatings Instead of money to spend, it would have been better for you.” The boys, John Colver, twenty years old, of 487 Hancock street, and Carlton Chapman, sixteen, of 362 Jefferson avenue, had been indicted for stealing money and jewelry from Adelaide Wiston, keeper of a furnished room house, where they lived for a time. They belong to respectable families >of moderate means. Both promised the judge to go home and begin again. Chapman to return to school and Colver to work. Both wore tango pumps and silk shirts when arraigned.—New York Sun. ,

REAL HOME FOR THE HOLE

Finds Secure Abiding Place After a Period of Troublous Wanderings. Everett P. Dahlgren, the millionaire opponent of woman suffrage, said at a suffrage debate in Boston: “I always declare that woman shouldn’t enter politics till she’s fulfilled all her prior duties. “’Prior duties! Prior duties!’ So a youhg lady mocked me one day. ‘What do you men mean by these “prior duties" that you’re always talking about, Mr. Dahlgren?’ "So' then I told the young lady this story:, “Once upon a time, I began, a little hole was born; and it looked around to see where Lt should take up its abode. “It first decided on a window, but a mah canie "Straightaway and put in a new pane. It next chose a chair seat, but the housewife sent for a caner, and In a jiffy a new seat was put in the chair. The hole now selected a baby’s rattle, and the baby was so pleased that it began to tear the rattle to pieces and the poor hole, half crazed with fright, had just time to escape. It threw Itself, more dead than alive, into the first thing that came to hand, which happened to be the sock of a suffrjigist husband. "There, at least, the hole seems to have found a real home. Its peace has not been troubled from the beginning, six months ago.”

Marble Windows.

Remarkably beautiful effects are secured by the use of marble Instead of glass. This has been accomplished by a new process which has been devised by an engineer of Hamburg, W. Engle. He has succeeded in making plates of marble no more than three millimetres in thickness and for the use designated it is available up to 20 millimetres thick. The suitability of marble for this purpose was realized some time ago, but the difficulty encountered was that of securing the marble in slabs of sufficient thinness. These plates permit of the passage of a greater amount of light than frosted glass does, and at the same time imparts to the rays a much pleasanter color. Most opal glass Imparts to the light an undesirable greenish tinge, while the light which passes through the marble has a reddish violet which is much pleasanter. After ttys marble has been ground down to the desired thickness It Is subjected to an immersion in oil under high pressure, - and the effects secured in this manner are said to be superior to those of stained glass. ’ !

A Beginner.

"Are you a socialist?” “I am.” “What do you understand by socialism?” “I haven’t got as far along as the understanding part. I picked socialism because I don’t like any of the regular brands of politics.”

GOOD CHANGE.

Coffee to Postum. The large army of persons who have found relief from many chronic ailments by changing from coffee to Postum as a dally beverage, Is growing qach day. It is only a simple question of trying It for oneself in order to know the Joy of returning health as realized by an Ills, young lady. She writes: “I had been a. coffee drinker nearly all my life and It affected my stomach —caused insomnia and I was seldom without headache.* I had heard about Postum and how beneficial it was, so concluded to quit coffee and try it "I was delighted with the change. I can now sleep well and seldom ever have headache. My stomach has gotten strong and I.caa eat without suffering afterwards. I think my whole system greatly benefited by Postum. "My brother also suffered from stomach trouble while he drank coffee, but now, since using Postum, he feels so much better he would not go back to coffee for anything.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum comes In two forms: Regular Postum—must be wellboiled—lso and 25c packages. Instant Postum —Is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage Instantly—-800 and 500 tins. The cost per cup of both kinds la about the same. “Thue’s a Reason" for Postum.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

HE LIVES IN THE CAB

"MESSENGER" TAKES N£W LOCOMOTIVES TO OWNERS. ■■■■ ■ ■■■■'.; / -■ 'iv-. \. f ■ ’ . . ' •_ r ; ’ .. Guard and Caretaker of These Engines Must Remain With Them Continually Until They Reach Their ' Destination. Since the days when people first began to look upon the locomotive as a rival of the stagecoach the engineman has occupied a big niche in the hall of fame. Artists paint him standing faithfully at his post of duty as his engine plunges on to writers tell of his bravery unde¥ the most terrifying stress; poets sing of his heroism and the responsibility for the human beings in his care. Yet there is another man who occupies the locomotive cab long before the trusty, grime-besmeared engineman guides the throttle? —a man around whom neither the artist, the writer nor the poet seems to have woven the fanciful and the heroic, says the Philadelphia Record. After the huge modern locomotive is completed it may be necessary to send this powerful machine thousands of miles across the country; From Philadelphia the trip may be to Portland, Ore., or far off into- the coldest and wildest regions of Canada. A new locomotive cannot be used to pull a train traveling in that direction, assuming Immediately the work for which it has been built. It probably belongs to another railroad and must be shipped to the ordered destination as freight. 1 Most of us have traveled sufficiently or been near railroads enough to have become familiar with the sight of a long freight train which is made up ofnunrerousioeomotives.freshpaint and shiny metal testifying to their newness, between the familiar box and gondola cars. They are not traveling under their own steam, but are moving as freight, the same as any other merchandise or machinery. Grouped in twos, each pair is separated from the next by four or six regular freight cars. In the cab of each leading locomotive sits a man, officially designated as “the messenger.” He is guard and caretaker of two of the newly built engines and is required to remain with them continually until they reach the place where the owners take possession.

While traveling he must stay awake, watchful of possible accidents and breakages. For days and weeks he is practically under solitary confinement, snatching an occasional few minutes of sleep when the train halts and that only after he has completed a thorough examination of the engines. His life is unusual. In many 'respects it is similar to that of a tramp. He travels from one end of the continent to the other by freight and is seldom at home. From the time he leaves the locomotive works he lives in the cab of one of the engines. The back is boarded up, with a small sliding door in the middle. Within it is fitted out as a combination eating and sleeping room. The quarters are cramped, but the messenger finds space for his needs. On the left side he places a temporary bunk and over it a shelf. A small coal stove heats the compartment On the right is a table and seat His provisions and fuel are stored in the tender. Thus he lives during his trip, which may mean three, four or five weeks. Attached to the locomotive works are about 150 messengers. During the busy season these men are riding the railroads farther and longer than the most hustling of our city drummers. They return to this city on passenger trains and their mileage is covered by the company. His unconventional apartment does not make the messenger any the less appreciative of good food. And some of these men have gained fame for their cooking. Said one man who has made so many trips that the work has almost become monotonous: “f usually start with a good supply, and for a three weeks’ trip get a pound each of butter and coffee, several loaves of bread that will keep fresh a week if properly cared for, a quarter-peck of onions and potatoes, a half-dozen boxes of biscuits, two dozen of eggs, some canned vegetables, a couple of slices of ham and sufficient sugar. Like myself, most of the boys have a sweet tooth, and Ilka buns and cakes and rice puddings. Also no messenger would go without some cans of sardines, for they make their favorite sandwiches of them.”

"Cussing the Clock."

Many an engineer who, given a fast schedule, failed to come through on time, has been placed on the dispatcher’s mental blacklist, which means poor "meets” for him thereafter. He has made the dispatcher "cuss the clock,” and suffers for it. The dispatchers have every engineman well catalogued. “Cussing the clock” is a curious habit that all dispatchers have. Whenever trains fall behind time, the dispatcher addresses bitter and profane things to the clocks, whose hands keep moving, though his trains do not.

What Employes Might Do.

There are 1,700,000 persons employed on all the railroads of the United States, with total annual wages and salaries of 11,200,000,000. If each one saved a nickel a day for his company, the amount would reach |85,000 a day, or a trifle over 131,000,000 a y®* l, »: 7 4 '

HOW TRAINS ARE LIGHTED

Three Systems That Are Used to FurI nlsh Current for the Electric Lamps. The electrically lighted passenger train Is no novelty on any first-class road, but there are few passengers who can tell how the electric current Is produced which keeps the electric lamps burning regardless of whether the train is in motion or not, says the Electric News. First-class passenger trains are not only lighted by electricity but the current has been adapted to drive electric fans during the hot summer months, and, in one or two instances, It Is also used In the kitchen of the dining car, where the food Is cooked over the invisible fires of electricity. In lighting a passenger train provision must be made for supplying the current whether or not the train is in motion. To accomplish this a storage battery Is generally installed in connection with the electrical generator. There are three systems In use for train lighting. The first IS" ttfe straight storage system, which consists of a storage battery large enough to store sufficient current for the needs of the train en route between termlnals. Of course this storage battery has to be charged before each trip. The lamps are lighted by merely turning the switch, which - draws on the current stored in the battery. In the second system a small generator is geared or belted to the wheels of one of the cars. This generator supplies electricity directly to the lamps and also to an auxiliary storage battery, which keeps the lamps burning when the train Is standing in stations or yards. This system is rather more complicated than the first, but has the added advantage that the storage battery does not have to be charged at the terminals.- ——— — In the third system a small generator, driven by a steam turbine engine, which obtains steam from the locomotive boiler, Is used to supply the current. This tiny turbo-generator may be mounted on top of the locomotive boiler or in one corner of the baggage car. It takes up very little room. A small storage battery is used in connection with this set so cars may be lighted even If the locomotive Is uncoupled and removed.

LOOKS LIKE GOOD BUSINESS

Adoption of Smokeless Locomotive Would Be Economical, Besides Prorpotlng Public Comfort. The Cincinnati smoke inspector is reported to be enthusiastic over the discovery that one of the railroads entering the city has a locomotive especially equipped for the elimination of smoke. The device in use, the inspector says, is a great success. The railroads are great smoke producers. If it be true that locomotives can be so equipped as practically to eliminate smoke the fact Is of some Importance to railroad economy as well as to public comfort. If one railroad can find a smokeless locomotive other railroads can do the same thing. The Cincinnati Times-Star is of the opinion that the railroads are the worst offenders against public Interest In smoke production. “After the great floods of last year,” that paper says, “when most of the local railroads were out of commission, Cincinnati’s atmosphere became clear as if by magic.” If the Inspector’s optimism is justified, it is added by the Times-Star, “there will be enough force in public opinion in Cincinnati tp compel every road operating within the city limits to provide engines equipped with the new device." One of the worst features of the problem Is that smoke represents waste of fuel. The railroads might find it somewhat expensive to supply their Ipcomotives with smoke-consum-ing devices. In the long run, though, they would save money by the operation. A reduction in smoke would mean a decrease in coal bills for all tlnje to come. Why should not the railroads adopt the smokeless locomotive as a good business proposition as well as a measure of progress and a promoter of public comfort. —Louisville Courier-Journal.

Courtesy on the Ralls.

A railroad company of Long Island has issued a booklet on courtesy for the benefit of its employes. The book contains lots of good' suggestionsr of which these are examples: “In handling the public we must all take the public as it la and not as it should be. “Those of us who come in contact with the public do much toward educating it by example of what the public should be. "We can never make the public better by imitating it. "It is only the boy amateur who flies into a rage at resistance and pounds up that which he is attempting. “Every man has ambition enough. “Every man in every position wants to mount higher, but merely wanting does not get him higher. “It is performance of the immediate Job that gets him higher. “Our colleges today are turning out a great many *civU engineers,’ but we find there is a much greater demand for ‘civil conductors.’ ”

GET WIRELESS BY BEDSPRING

Eastern Amateur Experiments With a Novel Form of Antennae and * Is Successful., | Cyrus H. Fladreaux of Peekskill, N. Y., gives the following interesting account of his experiments with a novel form of antennae for wireless telegraphy: “There are many things used as antennae to catch the mysterious electric waves which carry our wireless messages through spade, and I find that the springs of my bpd serve as very efficient antennae. My room Is on the second story of my house, and by using these springs as antennae I can easily read the signals sent out every night by the wireless station at Sayville, L. 1., although they are not by any means so loud as when I use my outdoor antennae, which are 40 feet above ground, 60 feet long and consists of four wires on spreaders, the wires being two feet apart “The bedspring antennae are best for use with nearby high power stations. Sayville, L. 1., ls ( abdut fifty miles from Peekskill. With my outdoor antennae I continually hear the Arlington (Va.) naval station when It sends out the corrected tlme signals at 11:55 a. m. and at 9:55 p. m.; also the weather reports, Brooklyn navy yard; New London, Conn.; Cape Cod and others, including amateur stations too numerous to mention. “I have an all-’round good apparatus.

The First Speaker.

The first speaker of the house of representatives of the United States was Frederick A. Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania, who was born in Trappe, Pa., in 1750, and died in Lancaster, Pa., in 180 L Muhlenberg was succeeded by Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut, but was returned to the speaker’s chair in the third congress. Among his famous successors was Henry Clay, who was speaker of six congresses; James K. Polk, Robert C. Winthrop, Schuyler Colfax, James O. Blaine, John G. Carlisle, Thorns* B. Reed, David B. Henderson, Joseph G. Cannon and Champ Clark. Only one speaker of the house—James K. Polk —has ever reached the White House, defeating Henry Clay, ex-speaker.
