ERIE ISSUES A IIEHLE BOOK Tells What Is Required of the Employes in Operating Department.

OF INTEREST TO THE PUBLIC Employes Must Not Swear When Erie Engines Are Started on Prairies. Oh, look what's here. The Erie railroad has issued a new book of rules of the operating department, and under the head of "General Notice," the following observations are made: "The nature of the transportation business and its relation to the state and the community require the services of men of active minds, good character, and general ability. The employes of a railroad are at all times, both In the discharge of their duties as employes and as citizens, under the constant view of the public Failure to be efficient parts of the transportation system, of valuable citizens In whatever place they are domiciled, brings reproach upon them and the corporation with which they are connopted. "These- are corporate and private duties devolving upon each officer and employe that are not, nor can they be, expressed by fixed instructions of rules. A failure on the part of any one to perform such duties makes It the duty of the proper officer of the company to Indicate to the person privately. In a proper way and place, his shortcomings. Subsequent failure to profit by the warning must sever the relations existing as employer and employe, notwithstanding the fact that there is no literal violation of the printed rules. "To enter or remain In the service is an assurance of willingness to obey the rules. "Obedience to the rules is essential to the safety of passengers and empies and to the protection of property. "All employes are considered In line for promotion, and will be given In creased responsibilities and compensation as their ability may warrant and the requirements of the company de mind. "Each employe In. accepting employ ment assumes its risks. "Each employe Is expected and re quired to look after and be responsi ble for his own safety, as well as to ex eiclse care to avoid injury to others. "Any negligent act on the part of any employe may be made the subject THE

of discipline, and employes who are not prudent and careful in protecting themselves and others and the property of the company from injury will not be retained in service. "When It is the opinion of .ny person whose duty it is to enforce a rule, that the rule cannot be enforced In the interest of the company or in fairness tft employes, he is required to bring the rule to the attention of his superior officer. Employes are Invited to call the attention of their superior to any rule which in their opinion is superfluous, impracticable or unfair."

ADMIRAL COUDEN RETIBED. Washington, I. C, Oct. 30. Rear Admiral Albert R. Couden, president of the Naval Examining and Retiring Boards, retired today from active service, having reached the age limit under the navy regulations. He was born in Indiana on October 30, 184S, but was appointed from Utah, He entered the naval academy on September 26, 1863, and graduated four years later. He served on the Franklin, the flagship of the European squadron from 1867 to 1869. In 18S8 he was made ensign, he became master in 1870, lieutenant in 1871, lieutenant commander in March 1889 and commander in March 1897. On January 15, 1892, he was made cap tain and was commander of the Atlanta from 1900 to 19104. He was still a captain when he was honored by being placed In command of the powerful fleet and the thousands of marines sent to Havana at the time of the Taft intervention. It was the most important naval command since the close of the Spanish-American war. President Roosevelt further honored Couden by placing him In command of the battleship Louisiana, in which the president made his trip to Panama for the purpose of personally studying tho Panama canal situation. On November 28, 1904, Rear Admiral Couden was made general inspector of ordnance of the United States navy and still later was appointed president of the Naval Examining and Retiring Boards, which position he still holds. WARM CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 30. The warmest political battle Indiana has seen in recent years will wind up to mprrow night with parades and ral lies in every city and town throughout the lenght and breadth of the state. The great battle in Indiana this year is for the election of the state ticket. The presidential contest, of course, has not been neglected, but the leaders here feel that the national ticket will take care of itself. The main fight Is for control of the legislature. If the republicans win, eighty of the ninetytwo counties in the state may exercise local option and James A. Hemenway will be returned to the United States senate. If the democrats win, there will be no appreciable change in the liquor situation. The law enacted by the republican legislature provides for local option by counties, while the dem ocrats advocate local option by town ships. Between the two there is a great difference in the practical re

salts, as It Is generally admitted that

the township plan would not bring about prohibition in any of the larger cities and towns. The republicans have made the liquor question the great issue of the campaign. The democrats, on . the other hand, have paid little attention to the liquor issue but have made much of the alleged extravagance In the repub lican administration of the state's bus iness. Both parties have made a thorough canvass of the situation during the present week and, according to the leaders, both are pleased with the result. The officials at the republican state headquarters say that the re turns make the prospects look brighter than four years ago, when Indiana went republican by a large majority. The democrats, on the other hand. appear well satisfied with the outlook and insist that a better showing for their ticket could not be desired. TEMPERANCE DAY AT DALLAS. Dallas, Texas, Oct. 30. The present temperance agitation in this state has aroused more than ordinary interest in the celebration of "Temperance Day," which was observed at the state fair in this city today. Thousands of per sons, friendly to the cause of temperance, came to the city from all parts of the state to take part in the celebration and the fair grounds were crowded from early morning. An interesting program, prepared for the oc casion was carried out. It included principally music and addresses by sev eral -prominent temperance orators, among them R. W. Hall of Vernon, Senator B. F. Looney of Greenville, Judge D. E. Garrett of Houston and J. B. Cranfield of Dallas. FIGHTS SCHEDULED FOR GOTHAM New York, Oct. 30. New York is rapidly developing into a prize fighting center and has already become a para dise for scores of minor pugilists and even for such of considerable prominence. Not less than six athletic cjubs In Manhattan and Brooklyn are giving so-called "boxing exhibitions" every week, which inreality are nothing but prize fights. Heretofore the matches arranged for them have been between minor light of the profession, but late ly more Important events have been scheduled, which are attracting considerably interest in sporting circles throughout the country. The record will be broken tonight when two rather important fights will come off; Philadelphia Jack O'Brien will meet Sam Langford, the colored wonder, under the auspices of a Manhattan club, while Packey McFarland is scheduled for a six-round fight with Tommy Murphy in Brooklyn.' O'Brien has been practically ruled out since he admitted two years ago in California that he had been mixed up in queer matches. Should he succeed in defeating Langford, who is classed as just as good a fighter as Jack Johnson, the colored heavy weight, it would help considerably in rehabilitating O'Brien in the favor and confidence of the sporting fraternity.
