A VALUABLE INVENTION * A DEVICE RANKING WITH AIR BRAKES AS A PUBLIC APPLIANCE. Mileage Which Promises to Be More Popular than that of the Central Traffic Association Line*. Avery ingenious and valuable contrivance for the saving of life by prevention of railroad accidents through forgetfulness of trainmen has been invented. The machine has just stood a very severe test on the Great Northern road after having been previously operated successfully on the St. Paul & Duluth, Practical railroad men have given strong indorsements to the device after seeing its work. The object of the device is to provide an accurate and reliable reminder signal and distance indicator for locomotives, by means of which engineers are prevented from forgetting their train orders as to stopping or meeting points. The mechanism is simpie and is connected with the forward trucks of the engine, there being an accurate measuring of the distance traveled, the dial placed in front of the engine showing correctly the distance traveled. Above the dial are placed fifteen triggers or dogs, pivoted at equally distant points around the center. When the engineer receives his orders he sets one or more of these triggers to a point one mile short of the distance to be traveled before reaching the stopping place. The mileage indicator, on reaching such point, releases the trigger, which starts a signal whistle blowing. This continues to blow for a quarter of a mile, promptly warning the engineer of the near approach to the stopping place. If the engineer is inattentive and fails to stop when the last mile is run over, the machine is worked by an air brake and stops the train for him. A train similarly equipped coming in the opposite direction would be stopped in the same manner and a collision prevented. The device can be made to run forward and backward. For foggy or stormy weather or for dark nights the device is considered especially valuable for ordinary road use, aithougn its life-saving feature was the point at lust sought lor. Alter a trial on the St. Paul & Duluth and repeated trials on the Fergus Falls division of the Great Northern the new invention was given an unusual test on the recent trip of President J. J Hill to the coast and back. For this trip the new scheme of one engine, No. 663, with Engineer John Kiibane, for the entire trip was tried, and the new life-saving device was attached to the engine. For the 1,820 miles to Seattle on the Great Northern, 197 to Portland on the Northern Pacific, 450 to Spokane on the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company and through Montana back to St. Paul the new device measured ail distances with accuracy, and by other tests completely demonstrated its ability to do what is claimed for it. President Hill has approved it with considerable enthusiasm, as have other officials on his road. During the past few months the new device has been used successfully on over 7,000 miles of road. A peculiar feature of the test is the fact that it hits been made with the inventor’s working model. The Mileage Book of Western Lines. Beginning Nov. 1 nineteen different Western roads will adopt a system of interchangeable mileage. These roads operate over fifty thousand miles of tracks in the territory, all of which lies practically between Chicago and the Missouri river. The Sebastian ticket is to be used side by side with the present mileage tickets of the individual roads. The individual mileage tickets now on sale and which will continue to be sold are the one-thousand-mile ticket sold at a fiat rate of $25, and the two-thou-sand-mile ticket at a rate of SSO, with a rebate of $lO provided the conditions of purchase are complied with. The sales of these tickets have aggregated S4w,OCO monthly. The Sebastian ticket, which, is to be used in addition, consists of a mileage credit permit which will be issued through station agents, and will be in the form of a compact leather case containing the certificate of contract and a pocket for retaining credit checks. Among the advantages claimed for the Sebastian ticket are; N b large sum of money is tied up in the purchase of mileage tickets over the various lines; no outlay beyond the actual service performed, the refund being made immediately after the two thousand miles has been traveled; interchangeable mileage for two thousand miles, the same amount as now covered by the individual lines’, passengers not required to go to the depot to sign tickets, but can send messengers for tickets and secure certificates and have baggage checked, the Same as under present conditions, the only condition being that the refund will not be made unless the certificates sent into the bureau show' that the two thousand miles has been traveled by the same person. The Sebastian tourist ticket, a more e. implicated affair, on the same lines as the interchangeable ticket, was in operation last summer and gave satisfaction. It was claimed that not one of these tickets fell into the hands of scalpers and not one was lost. This interchangeable mileage does away with several objections which are raised to the interchangeable mileage ticket now in use on the thirty-two roads by the Central Traffic Teritory Association, and being so much less complicated it will likely become popular.

An Unexpected Deei*ion. A suit brought tw'o years ago by Henry C. Smith against the Lake Shore Railway Company, involving the validity of an act passed by the Michigan Legislature of 1891, compelling railroads to Issue one-thousand-mile tickets, good for any member of a family, for S2O. has just been sustained by the Michigan Suprome Court, which decides that the Legislature had the power to enact such a law. The opinion was by Justice Montgome' .v, Justices Long and Moore concurring. and Ju tiers Hooker and Grant dissenting. The ticket issued under this act is good for two years from the date of issue. Personal, Local and General Note*. The net earnings of the Pennsylvania road for August were $580,000 in excess of those of August. 1896. M. W. Mansfield, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincenn- s. who has been in Pittsburg most of the week, will return today. The Official Railway Guide will be late this -month in making its appearance owing to the numerous changes which have been reported. , Col. Samuel Moodv, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, who has been on a Western trip, yesterday returned to Pittsburg. The business of the Pullman and Wagner sleeping-car companies at Indianapolis in* September was the largest In any month in the history of the lines. Cleveland, 0., will attempt to force the Cleveland A Pittsburg, a Pennsylvania line, to provide gates and watchmen for every grade crossing in the city. There were handled at the Indianapolis city freight houses of the Pennsylvania lines in September 41.849.171 pounds of freight, representing 4,311 cars. The Pittsburg. Fort Wayne Jfe Chicago is short of power, and where a locomotne can be spared on the- Panhandle lines it is transferred to the Fort Wayne. The shipments of stone from the Bedford quarries last month were the largest in any month of the last two years. A considerable portion of the shipments went to Eastern States. It is stated that at no time in the last thirty-five years has the Monon been as free from litigation as at present, but few cases being in the courts in which, the new company is interested. Colonel Oran Perry, general agent of the Pennsylvania lines at this point, who is on a Western trip, was yesterday in Lendville. Col., and expects to start for home the latter part of next week. In September the Indianapolis & Vincennes delivered at points designated where switches have been put in 484 carloads of broken stone, which is being used to improve the highways of Greene county. It is expected that at the annual meeting of (he stockholders of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton OcL 12 there will be some developments regarding the road’s interest in the Indiana. Decatur & Western. The office associates of John Cht-s----borough, who yesterday retired as general passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, presented him with an elegant diamond stud as a token of their esteem. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton is without doubt one of the best railway properties in the West, and in the best shape financially of any road in this section, it is a close corporation. Its capital stock

consists of $1.<72,100 4 per cent, preferred stock $5 257.f0c 5 per cent, preierred stock and $8.000.0( | 0 common stock E. O. McCormick, passenger traffic mnqagi r of the Big Four, has appointed H. W. LiHng< brake as special advertising agent. Mr. Bangi brake has been identiiied with the Mnh odist Book Concern, at Cincinnati, for some years. The official report of Henry Fraser, genera! agent of the Big Four at this point, shows that in September 7,551 carloads of freight were handled at the city freight houses, against 6.453 in September. 181*6. an increase this year of 1.09S cars. In September there were transferred over the Belt road 68,060 cars, against 62.246 in September, 1896, an increase this year of 5,714 cars. Belt road engines handled at the stock yards 4,442 carloads of stock, against. 3.891 In September. 1896, an increase this year of 611 cars. S. R. Calloway, who was on Tuesday elected president of the Pittsburg & Bake Erie, in addition to his duties as president of the Bake Shore, has for three days past, with General Manager Beach, been going over the line and examining into the manner it is operated and its needs in the way of equipment. The miners of Ohio and Pennsylvania have resumed work, but a rate war has been started between the coal-carrying lines. A Toledo paper says not only are rates being cut on coal, but other classes of freight, and this in face of the fact that neither of the lines has cars to handle the business offered. .The two roads which are reported as cutting rates are in the hands of receivers. The story is revived that the Vanderbilts have secured control of the Wabash, and, while it will not be known as a Vanderbilt property, there will be a close working arrangement which will be of particular ad vantage to the Bake Shore and Nickelplate. It is stated that the Vanderbilt piople are not looking with favor on the recent alliance formed between the Wabash and Grand Trunk. John B. Garrett, third vice president of the Behigh Valley, has resigned from the board of managers of the Jo*nt Traffic Association. The reason for the resignation is that Charles Hartshorne. vDe president of the Behigh Valley, is going on a four months’ trip to Japan, and Behigh Valley matters will take up all Mr. Garrett’s time during Mr. Hartshorne's absence. Gen. Orland Smith succeeds Mr. Garrett. The double track of the Big Four west of Cincinnati for fifteen miles and the five miles at the Indianapolis terminal are proving a great convenience when business is as heavy as at present, greatly expediting the movement of both passenger and freight trains. It is probable that on the Cincinnati end the track will be doubled as far as Bawrenoeburg Junction soon after the nyw bridge over Whitewater is completed. It is stated that the power of the Wabash road is now in excellent condition. This company in the past has built its ow'ii locomotives, and Superintendent of Motive Power Barnes has turned out several h wOmotives which have made remarkable records. General Manager Ramsey is inclined to believe, it is slated, that the locomotive works can furnish the company with a very superior locomotive, and for that reason he will buy twenty-five new locomotives. The Wabash system has got to he so extensive that repair work has greatly increased, and keeps the shops busy without building any new engines. It was expected that at the annual meeting of the Fitchburg Railroad stockholders on Thursday something in the nature of sensationalism would develop, but, on the contrary, it passed off much as tne cut-and-dried meetings of the sort usually do. There was a large attendance of evidently interested stockholders, but no discussion of the company’s affairs ensued, and the only business transacted was the ejection of twelve directors and the nassage of a vote to issue $1,450,000 to dare for certain maturing issues and other necessary contingencies. The matter of the presidency or the tangled accounts was not mentioned. The Atchison road is confident of securing the bulk of the California traffic over the Southern routes this winter. The action of the Southern Pacific in advertising the withdrawal of the Sunset limited between San Francisco and New Orleans leaves the limited trains of the Atchison, which will be run twice a w'eek and possibly three times per week after the holidays, the fastest trains via the southern route. The Southern Pacific has made arrangements with the Alton, Iron Mountain and Texas & Pacific to run a limited train through to the coast, but because of the longer route it is not likely that it will he able to equal the time of the limited on the Atchison—seventy-two hours. Attempts to get the Union Pacific to arbitrate its differences with the lines of the Western Passenger Association have fallen very fiat. The Union Pacific takes the stand that it will not arbitrate 'until the other roads have declared that they will not allow the Oregon Short-line any better commissions than they have been granting to the Central Pacific. The Union Pacific intimates that if the. Western roads will take this action it will at once consider the advisability of joining the Western Passenger Association and will withdraw its large commissions on Northern Pacific coast business. Otherwise, the Union Pacific will continue to be an outside road and will continue to pay such commissions as it chooses and run its business with an eye to its interests p.lone and without considering the interests of any other line. The Pittsburg & Lake Erie, of which Gaylord Beach is manager, has ordered ten immense freight engines from the Pittsburg locomotive works, which will te used in hauling ore trains in competition with the new Bessemer or Carnegie line. The new engines will be the largest ever used on a lake line, and will be capable of hauling at least twenty additional ears over the easy grades of the Lake Brie I ne. The Pittsburg & Bake Erie has easy graces between Red Stone Junction and Youngstown. On the main line the only grades ere at Shousetown and the Shenango river Lodge, at Mahoningtowri. The first grade is not over eighteen feet to the mile, and the t ther one, while more severe, is very short, and. by means of a helping engine, trains of sixty-five loaded cars can be sent north, and there will no necessary limit to the south-bound trains, save the capacity of tiie couplings to hold the ears together. The new locomotives will weigh at least .70,000 oounds. and will be not only povorful, but speedy so that trains can be kept moving rapidly, an object of much importance on a busy road. The annual report of M. E. Ingalls, president of the Chesapeake & Ohio, is exciting much friendly comment in Easiern nnafi ial •ireles During the year the company charged nothing to construction account. There was purchased and charged to expenses in the year ending June 30. to replace wornout and destroyed equipment, ten locomotives, 232 freight cars, two passeng* r coaches and one steam tug, at a total cost of $243,488.97. These purchases have kept intact the number of engines and cars and coaches, a.nd as the additions have all been of modem and heavier type in place of the old and light equipment, the general condition of the equipment has been correspondingly improved. Included in the oper- , t in <r expenses is also the cost of 10.8 miles of second track. $125,261 13; 16.1 miles new sidings. $54,303.26; new buildings at different points o„ the line. $35,550.59.

An extrusion of 3.2 miles was made in the NW River coal district to facilitate the switching to and from some of the large mines.

Make a Man of Him. Prof. David S. Jordan, in Scribner. The best way to cure a student of petty vices and childish trickery is to make a man of him. Give him something real to do and he will not fritter his nervous strength away in conviviality or in degrading associations. But to forbid excesses and abuses, putting nothing in their places, cannot be very effective. Not long ago I had occasion to, say: “lr your college assume to stand in loco parentis, with rod in hand and spy-glasses on its nose, it will not do much in the way ot moral training. The fear of punishment will not make young men moral or religious—least of all a punishment so easily evaded as the discipline of a college. If your college claims to be a reform school, your professors detective officers and your president a chief of police, the student will give them plenty to do. A college cannot take the place of a parent. To claim that it does is mere pretense. You may win by inspiration, not by fear ‘Free should the scholar be; free and brave.’ The petty restraints that may aid in the control of college sneaks and college snobs are an Insult to college men and college women. It is for the training of men and women that colleges exist.” Indiana at Paris in 11*00.

“BILL" FLYNN'S MEETING ♦ HIS A.VMOIXCEMENT OF FREE BEER AT THE TAGGART AIDIEACE. * Stacltmeyer’n Frantic Effort to Prove He In Not Illiterate—Ufa Choice Bit* of Grammar. * Mr. Taggart spoke last night at Phoenix Hall, in the Fifteenth ward, the Gibraltar of the local Democrqgy. The “byes’’ met at “Bill” Flynn’s saloon and marched to the meeting place behind a band, fbr the payment of which a number of city employes were assessed in addition to their already heavy campaign assessments. Only about thirty men and boys followed the band, but a few tunes dispensed In front of the hall brought others to the place and there were several hundred there when the speechmaking began. The size of the crowd was very small for such a Democratic stronghold. James Collier acted as chairman, but for a time there was nothing to be done. Taggart, Cox and Stuckmeyer were on the prtigramme for speeches, but they were slow to arrive. Henry Seyfrled was called upon to 3evve as "filling’’ and he talked aboqt the glories of Democracy until the mayor and the rest arrived. He broke off suddenly and Mayor Taggart was trotted out. He made a feeble attempt to reply to a few of the charges of mismanagement w hich have been made against him, but he seemed to recognize his own weakness and soon gave way to Charles Cox, the candidate for police judge. Before quitting he defended his colleague, Stuckmeyer, against whom, he said, the charge of illiteracy had been made, and the justice of which is recognized by any one who has attended Council meetings. "Two years ago they said that Stuckmeyer would never do for city clerk because he could not write,” he said. “But 1 say to you that the records were never kept better.” He concluded by inviting every man present to call at the courthouse basement and examine the city records, which, by the way, are kept by a deputy. Stuckmeyer’s efforts to read typewritten English and words of two syllables at the Council meetings have caused even the Democratic councilmen and President Costello to laugh many a time. When Judge Cox was introduced there was a wild stampede of the crowd from the hall. There had been three or four hundred men and boys there while Taggart was speaking. There were chairs for only about fifty and the remainder were obliged to stand. They were willing to stand for Taggart, but not for Cox, and they were not too well bred to walk out when they had enough. Cox seemed to be the limit, and they tied. He pleaded with them in vain to stay, but they went and he talked on to the few who remained. He drank freely from a glass of water which was placed on the table before him. It was noticeable at first that his drinks were taken at times when the crowd was ready to applaud his remarks, but before he had talked ten minutes the crowd seemed to understand the situation and refused to respond to his invitation to applaud him. Judge Cox seemed to be afraid that the Republican victory would be taken as an indorsement of the McKinley administration and the prosperity which it had brought, and he begged of the Democrats of the Fifteenth ward to do all they could to defeat this prosperity idea. Judge Cox introduced Charles Stuckmeyer as “my friend, the clerk.” HOW STUCKMEYER “ALLUDED.” Stuckmeyer declared that the Journal was wrong when it declared that he would have to learu grammar, and then took up the objection to his use of the word “hell.” “Ministers in the pulpit says hell,” he said, “and I worship my God in the churches with the rest of you, and don’t hesitate to use the words that I hear from the pulpit, and when I alluded that word I alluded that under the Denny administration, and I alluded because he w’ent before the people and told them what kind of administration he would give them if elected. He was elected, and you know what his administration was. Now you have had two years of the administration of a gemman. I say it, gemmen. because the records will show it, and I have ’em in my office for your Inspection and ever citizen. The Republican fell shart. There hasn’t been his equal as mayor in this city during the last two years.” Stuckmeyer went on to show, that this had been a business administration, because the “plastering of the City Hospital was falling off for the want of fixing the eaves.” And he said, “furthermore,” that the administraion had given the people electric lights for their dark streets, and he asked the people gathered there if tney “had ever went” through the city and “saw” the streets in better condition. Then he wished he had “a thousand tongues and hundred millions of mouths” in “arder” that he might “praise the administration of Mayor Taggart.” “There sets your mayor now,” he said, pointing to Mr. Taggart. “Have you ever saw him git the swell head? No, and that’s the reason people can meet him and say, ‘Hello, Tom Taggart.’ And there sets Judge Cox as dignified as be sets on his bench. I want to illustrate him to you. I went to him when w r e was both elected in behalf of a man who was arrested and began to explain the case to him. But he says: ‘Charley, you are not to do tuat. Don’t you tell me the case now, but on the evidence I shall be ruled and governed.’ My thots were then that that’s the man for the right place.” Stuckmeyer declared that he was part of a strangely composed ticket. Taggart, he said, was an Irishman, and Stuckmeyer of German parentage, though "barn” and raised in this city. And Cox was on English parentage, though “barn” and raised here. Stuckmeyer concluded his “speech” by showing that the Democratic party had been the means of defeating the “ardnance” introduced by Councilman Payne to "abandon” the saloons in the First, Second, “Tjurd” and “Fourt” wards.” He said that if this had been passed it might have

Oct. 3, ISo7—Act* xxi, 1-15. Here Is a strand of historic pearls. Each has an interest of its own. All are on the thread of Luke’s homely narrative. Coos must have had peculiar attraction for the artist-physician, for it was the birthplace of Apelles, and the seat of Aesculapius’s medical school. The Mediterranean Rose (Rhodes) next unfolded its loveliness to the eyes of the voyagers. Then Patara wfth its oracle of Apollo. And Tyre (Rock) with its purple-industry and memories of Jesus, the prophets and the Crusaders. Ptolemals (Accho) one of the eldest of cities. Finally, the marble Herodian city of Caesarea, seat and citadel of the Roman power in Palestine. • * • Such accomplished travelers as Paul and Luke could not have been indifferent to the historical associations, the natuial beauty and the architectural splendor of the places visited. But the one does not obtrude them in his narrative, and the other did not allow them to divert his attention from the object of his journey. The religious phases of the tour onlv are made conspicuous. The searching out of disciples, the saluting of brethren, the i..it well beach meetings are the only item* Luka makes account of. • * * As for Paul, tilt* journey makes one of the most heroic and sublime spectacles of history. His motive is tha pacification of the Hebrew element in the newlytounded church. Hts method will be submission to a ceremonial rite on his own part, and tha presenting of a munificent donation from Gentile Christians to the needy Hebrew Christians. * • • At each stage in Paul’s progress he receives intimations of the perils awaiting him. They steadily increased in distinctness. Affectionate protests blocked his way. With the gentlest nend he brushed aside the barriers love erected, while with a martyr’s eye he looked danger and death in the face and forged ahead. Though all the various perils of all his long missionary journevs were to be concocted into one awful ordeal, he would still brave It to ac- ■ ■ “h the superlatively important end he had li* view.
