At last our city fathers have taken action that will force the traction in terests to come to time in their deal Ings with Richmond. A week from next Monday council will take action on an ordinance declaring forfeited the rights, privileges and franchise of the Richmond City Railway company an offshoot of the McGowan syndi cate, unless the repairs that have been repeatedly promised are put into ef feet. This firm stand on the part of the city Is the only logical thing to do. For years we have been regaled with, "promises" from the traction in terests to do this and to do that, but nothing ever materialized. The city has repeatedly urged the local branch of the traction company to repair their tracks and that part of the street di rectly adjacent. Outside of a few empty promises the city has received no satisfaction to its requests, and as a result the present proposed drastic action Is manifest The attitude of the traction company's highest offl elaJs In apparently scoffing at Rich mond's Just and reasonable demands chows "who Is to blame. Doubtless these came officials will now set up a srreat howl and declare that the pro posed ordinance is an attack on the rights of private property as it would confiscate their local street railway, But inasmuch as they are using our 6treets on -which to run their railway, H looks as though they were the ones who have shown the slightest regard for property rights. The streets belong to us and like all other forms of property should he kept In gpod repair. Those streets used by the street railway company have not been lcept In any kind of repair. One has only to walk out East Main street to see in what condition the street is along the tracks. In some cases bricks have been forced out of the street and are lying on the surface. In other cases bricks have been forced above the sur face of the street alongside of the rails forming an ugly menace to car riage wheels. Considering these things and the broken promises of the traction company we can only com' mend and support the action of our city fathers. A HUMANITARIAN MOVE. Six of Richmond s ioremost mer chants have agreed to close their stores during the summer at 5:30 p m. every day except Saturday. This is trictly a humanitarian move on the part of these merchants and one that ought to- be appreciated not only by their employes, but also by their customers. It shows that these mer chants are using the "square deal" policy towards their employes and this in tarn cannot but favorably impress former or prospective customers that a "square deal" policy is also extended to them. These merchants employ a number of women, possibly one of the reasons for early closing. Instead of being kept until six o'clock after a hot, weary day, and then let out for a hur ried dash home to be in time for supper, these women clerks are now given plenty of leisure. TAKE THE POSTMASTER'S WORD FOR IT. Mr. F. M. Hamilton, postmaster at Cherryvale, Ind., keeps also a stock of general merchandise and patent medicines. He says: "Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is standard here in Its line. It never falls to give satisfaction and we could hardly afford to be without it." For Me by A. G. Luken & Co. The silvery lustre shown by many of the best grades of coke Is said to .. be due principally to the decomposition of some of the gases evolved during the process of coking, and the deposition of a thin coating of pure carbon on the surface of the coke cells. This thin coating protects the cells from alteration In the air, and is accountable for the durability shown by many cokes. After an accident to a fly wheel in a iarge European electric station the superintendent designed and had constructed a fly wheel of wood which has a diameter of thirty-five feet and a rim width of ten feet. The thickness of the rim is about twelve inches and it is made up of forty-four thick nesses of beech planks with staggered J Joints. The boards were glued together and then bolted. The inside consists of a double wheel, the twenty-four spokes of which are fastened to two hubs. Spokes and hubs are of cast iron. The wheel is operated at seventy-six revolutions a minute, which corresponds to a peripheral speed at the rim of 139 feet a second.

Glimpses of a Few Sea Ports. The Rev. T. J. Graham Writes of His Recent Trip Abroad.

February 12th was Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras was being celebrated at Algiers which has quite a French contingent, the evening we dropped anchor there, ust as the sun was setting. Algiers, a city of dazzling color from the sea, with a splendid harbor frontage and an ascending grouping .of buildings, French and Moorish architecture, held us en rapport, for the five hours we had to spend there. "VVe strayed upward to the opera square, where is a colossal equestrian statue of the Duke of Orleans facing landward instead of looking out over the harbor. The story goes that after a seemingly ineffective attempt to take Algiers for his country, he was ordered home. lie refused to go, set his face like flint toward the city, saying he wouldn't go until it fell, redoubled his efforts and the city became French. On the same square is an Immense mosque of marble. It was construct ed by christians held as slaves. It is said that it may be observed to be cruciform when viewed from a higher point. The architect was an Italian slave. He purposely designed the mosque in the form of the cross. When this was discovered by the Moslems, the architect was taken into this opera square and crucified. The night we were in Algiers everything was gay in costume and color and with ribaldry. French, Moors, Fuzzy Wuzzies mingled together in Mardi Gras demonstrations. Algiers has its very modern French side with trolleys and excellent hotels for many who have discovered it to be an excellent winter resort. Then there is the Moor ish city. Mr. Ferns, supt of the Gibraltar Seamen's Mission, who does personal christian work among British sailors at this port whose mission we visited with interest, guided us through the strange sights of the Moorish section of the city. It was up and down slippery stone stairs, through dark and dimly lighted passage ways called streets where one doesn't feel altogether safe, past en trance doors to homes which are mere hovels in many cases and in other cases splendid in their oriental style. Cafes are everywhere. Here men sit about enjoying their coffee, tobacco and music. Algiers, as elsewhere in the Orient, shows man as the ruler in all things. It is a drinking and smokIntr neonle but not a drunken one. No woman of respectability is seen out after the sun sets and in the day time only with covered or partly covered face. Vice is open and brazen. The theory seems to be that the bad are bad and are to be protected in iL So the good are to be guaraea with the keenest care. In the Rue de Crossart, Mr. Ferns pointed out where five or six English ladies of high connection lived in the midst of this Moorish section, serving as Missionaries to these people. The gentleman named above went to the deck with us and made an agreement ith a boatman to take our party out to the ship for one half tranc piece and then bid us good bye. The agreement didn't stand long. The boatman refused to land us for less than one franc apiece and started to

He said "Mr. Mission man says one-half franc; I say one franc; I no blood Moor, I blood Inglis (English I been Philadelphia." He got hi3 price. February 14th, St. Valentine's day, noon brought us to Genoa after a fine sail north by east of 462 knots from Algiers. Here we were to unload a cargo of cotton. This meant we were to have 28 hours in this rich and beautiful city, rich of old because of the magnificent harbor and shipping facilities and beautiful by location and by the palaces, ancient and modern which are a multitude. Genoa is Genova, the Superba. A fine statue representing this was one of the first objects to strike our eyes in this city which was having a siege of winter and snow at that time. Christopher Columbus is conspicuous today in one of the public squares in the form, of a statue. After some inquiry we were directed to the supposed dwelling place of Columbus. It is in a typically Italian district; No. 37 Vico dutto Ponticello. This is a narrow street swarming with business in a small way and life of the common people. Getting our bearings, we were soon met by a swarm of little children who knew instinctively what we were seeking. There is a house of green shutters, perhaps twelve feet wide and six stories high. This inscription graces it, "Nulla domus titula dignoir heic patermus In aldibus Christophorus Columbus pueritian primanque inventam transecit." The courageous Columbus may never have lived in this place but it stirs the blood considerably to imagine he did. One is al most sure that as a lad he climbed up the steep way until he standing somewhere about the present via di Circonvallezione and looking out to sea toward the setting" sun saw something beckoning him on from afar. Genoa offers some rather unique churches with a few of the art works of Ruben3 and music of the highest grade rendered by superb artists who sing and play amid the noisy approval or disapproval of their demonstrative critics who are music-lovers. The privilege of the best in music is granted at what sems majrvelously low prices to Americans. For beauty, September street with its striking examples of architecture of the modern Renaissance school, stands high up in the scale of European cities. Every visitor may not go to the tradional home of Columbus, but every one drives or takes the trolly for the famous cemetery of Genoa. Campo Santo. Here on the hill is the tomb of Mazzini, here in covered arch ways of great length are the burying places of many, marked by grand and gross monumental piec es in bronze and marble with lighted candles adding to effect; here in the open are the less pretentious resting places of the many poor. The story is told of one extremely poor person who followed begging as a vocation who. upon her death, was found to have accumulated a considerable sum to be

used in giving her a choice burial place and one of the notably expensive sculptured pieces in the vast army. One large bronze group represents the struggle between life and death. Life is represented as a beautiful woman with a butterfly lightly resting on her wealth of hair in the clutches of an animated skelton of gruesome aspect. A bevy of beggars, old and young, dogged the ship at the hour of landing. One lame, driving a dog team, one woman with a wee child, many boys, and between them all there seemed considered esprit de corp. The spirit of one lad I especially admired. A youth Genoese Columbus. When one of the coins thrown from the ship to the dock bounced out of reach of the many hands into a small boat, he did not give it up, but with permission crossed a tug and made his way with difficulty to the boat, where he found the money The glimpses of Genoa were quite satisfactory and suggest that in a day or two in many European and Eastern cities, with modern facilities and the reasonableness of carriage hire one can get a general idea of the places and their possessions if he have a mind to work at it. BAD BURN QUICKLY HEALED. "I am so delighted with what Chamberlain's Salve has don 4 for me that I feel bound to write anj tell you so," says Mrs. Robert Mytton, 457 John St., Hamilton, Ontario. "My little daughter had a bad burn on her knee I applied Chamberlain's Salve and it healed beautifully." This salve allays the pain of a burn almost instantly. It is for sale by A. G. Luken & Co. An interesting link with the past will soon be severed by the coming resignation of the Rev. J. P. Faun thorpe, who has been principal since 1874 of Whiteland's college, in the King's road, Chelsea. Whitelands will be familiar to students of the voluminous correspondence of John Ruskin, who took keen interest in the an nual election and installation of the May queen. The retiring principal was a cherished friend of Ruskin, and is still president of the London Ruskin society. London Chronicle. HERE IS RELIEF FOR WOMEN. If you have pains in the back.

RAILROAD NEWS.

MUNCIE IS WELL PLEASED. PENNSYLVANIA IS GIVING GOOD SERVICE ON THE C, I. &. E. Passenger Equipment Has Been juvenated and the Schedules Shortened. ReAccordlng to the reports reaching the Richmond Pennsylvania offices the residents of Muncie are more than pleased with the new service being given them by the Pennsylvania railroad between that city and Converse. The passenger equipment has been rejuvenated and the train schedules have been shortened. The shippers of the glass manufacturing town are also especially pleased with the freight service being given them, and which is under the control of the local freight office with Guy S. McCabe at the head. . -J IS A POPULAR TRAIN. The Northland Limited, leaving Richmond each night at 9:20 o'clock is now one of the most popular trains on the entire Pennsylvania system west of Pittsburg. The train is running exceptionally long and is filled almost every night with northbound summer resort passengers. The "Nor'lan" limited as it Is sometimes termed among local employes, is the one source of talk among railroad men. The train carries an enormous number of passengers from St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati to tha north. At Grand Rapids connections are made from the large lakeside cities, and according to the conductors running on the train, the latter is generally lengthened by one to two cars for the accommodation of those people. RECEIPTS FALL OFF. Since the heavy Fourth of July travel, the receipts at the Pennsylvania ticket offices have slightly fallen off due to the slump in passenger business. Business is still good, however. GRAY AT INDIANAPOLIS. John E. Gray, for nearly half a century agent of the Panhandle at Cambridge City, was in Indianapolis Tuesday visiting friends.
