Th Pennsylvania Follows This Custom Both on the LUies East and West of Pittsburg. About $10,000 In prizes will be distributed this month to track supervisors of the Pennsylvania system, including lines east and west of Flttsburg. Supervisors have about completed the work of getting their lines into shape for the general manager's inspection. While division officials have not been advised as to the exact date of the inspection, it wiu probably take place the latter part of next wee'r., says the Pittsburg Post. More than 200 officials will accompany General Manager W. W. Atterbury over the main line between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and supervisors are making a strong bid for the "Klondike" prize, which amounts to $1,200. This prize will be given to the supervisor having the best track line maintained throughout the year. The second prize will be $1,000, and will be given to the supervisor having the best kept track at the time of the inspection.. There will be four other prizes of $800 each, to the supervisors of the best-kept track, one prize for each division. Prizes of like amounts will be given to track supervisors of the main line of the Panhandle and Ft. Wayne. This inspection will be made by General Manager G. L. Peck, immediately after the inspection of the main line east. Accompanying the general managers will be engineers of maintenance of way, engineers, assistant engineers, general superintendents and the division superintendents and their staffs. About three days will be required for each trip. Following this inspection, President James McCrea and executive officials will make their first general inspection since President McCrea took charge. NOTHING DONE AS YET. As yet the Pennsylvania, Indianapolis division, has done nothing toward the installation of the manual and automatic block systems such as was planned some time ago. The manual block system' is now used and it was hoped to also install the automatic that passenger trains running along the division might be doubly protected. The system has been thoroughly devised and will be installed sooner or.later. DELAY IN ENLARGING. The East end yards will not be enlarged during the coming winter, as was first reported. The 3'ards were to have been enlarged during the summer but the work was not done and then it was reported that the work would be done this winter. HAVE HEARD NOTHING. Local Pennsylvania officials have heard nothing from the general officers of the road at Pittsburg pertaining to the freight interchange to be made in this city. It is asserted. Local officers are as much in the dark over the proposition as ever. EXCURSION TO CHICAGO. . The C, C. & L. will run an excursion to Chicago, leaving Richmond next Saturday night. Owing to the interest In the American base ball league race this year a large number of people will go to Chicago to see the White Sox" mix with the Clevel nd team. The road will also run an excursion to Cincinnati at the old excursion rate. NO LOWER CLASS RATES. The Western Passenger association has up for consideration second-class party rates. Many of the important lines In the country nave done away with second-class rates and as the 2cent per mile rate per passenger is coming Into quite general use, there Is a feeling that there should be no lower class of rates on any class of service. HOMESEEKERS' DAY. Tuesday was homeseekers' day and there w-as quite an exodus of homeseekers, many of them going to North Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba.

This unusual photograph of Mrs. John Jacob Astor shows a real society woman of New York doing a hard day's work. The photograph was taken on the arrival of the steamer Wilhelm II. Mrs. Astor spent several hours walking up and down the great steamship pier, looking after her own dozens of trunks, and in each hand she carried a largecase containing a major portion of the famous Astor jewels. Mrs. Astor did not trust the work of the inspection of her trunks to maids or valets. She went with the custom inspector herself and she never loosened her hold on the two valuable jewel cases which she carried. Altogether she spent four hours on the dock.

The rates varied from $25 to $33 for the round trip. It is xinderstood that many of those who left on the train were prepared to invest In land. COMMISSIONERS TO MEET. The interstate commerce commission has issued a call for a meeting of the National association of Railway commissions, whicn is composed of the various state railroad commissions throughout the country. Oct. 8 is set as the date for the convention which will be held in Washington, D. C. OPENING OCTOBER 6. The opening of the new passenger station at Washington, one of the finest stations ever built in this or any other country, will take place on Sunday, Oct. 6. All important roads centering at that point will run their trains into'it and out of It and it will be one of the best equipped passenger stations in the country. The heating, lighting and ventilation are of the most approved pattern and nothing has been left undone to make the handling of passengers convenient and expeditious. FOOD STOPPED IT Good Food Worth More Than a Gold Mine. To find a food that will put an absolute stop to "running down" is better than finding a gold mine. Many people when they begin to run down go from one thing to another without finding a food that will stop the progress of disease. GrapeNuts is the most nourishing food known and will set one right if that is possible. The experience of a Louisiana lady may be interesting. "I received a severe nervous shock some years ago and from that and overwork gradually broke down. My food did not agree with me and I lost flesh rapidly. I changed from one kind of food to another but was unable to stop the loss of flesh and strength. "I do not exaggerate when I say that I finally became, in reality, a living skeleton. My nights were sleepless, and I was compelled to take opiates in various forms. After trying all sorts of food without success I finally got down to toasted bread with a little butter, and after a while this began to sour and I could not digest it. Then I took to toasted crackers and lived on them for several weeks, but kept getting weaker, "One day Grape-Nuts was suggested and it seemed to me from the description that.it was just the sort ot food I could digest. I began by eating a small portion, gradually increasing the amount each day. "My improvement began at once for it afforded me the nourishment that I had been starving for. No more harassing pains and indigestion. For a month I ate nothing but Grape-Nuts and a little cream, then I got so well I could take on other kinds of food. I gained flesh rapidly and now I am in better health than I have been in years. I still stick to Grape-Nuts because I like the food sind I know of Its powerful nourishing properties. My physician says that my whole trouble was a lack of power to digest food, and that no other food that he knows of would have brought me out of the trouble except Grape-Nuts.", "There's a Reason."

ATTEMPT WAS MADE

TO BURN SHADE An Incendiary Was at Near Lynn. Work FLAMES WERE PUT OUT. Lynn, Ind., Oct. 2. A few evenings ago, the barn belonging to Charles Shade northeast of this place, narrowly escaped being burned to the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Milo Shade who reside on the farm had just reached home after spending the day with some relatives, and were busying themselves doing I the evening chores about the barn, and Mrs. Shade, who was standing outside the barn remarked to her husband that she heard some one inside, but they concluded it was the stock. Mr. Shade then opened the doors to pull the buggy inside, when he saw the leaping flames of fire.

He had large estates in London and Essex and did not omit to pray for their welfare in the following manner: "O Lord.

...). Vr the condition of the organization, which, she said., was excellent. It is expected there will be some lively "politics" over the selection of a supreme representative and grand outer guard. Indianapolis has two candidates for the latter office. They are Mrs. Mary Green of Brightwood lodge and Mrs. Edna Pauley. For supreme representative Mrs. Eva Rohbock of Wabash and Miss Etta Houk of Carmel are the two most talked-of candidates. Both are prominent in the order. HE WON HIS CASE. An Incident That Illustrates th Shrewdness of Ben Butler. A number of years ago General Benjamin F. Butler was a guest of friends lu Brooklyn. During his visit he noted the rule of the street railway companies compelling conductors to register fares as soon as passengers entered the cars and before the fares were actually collected. Two or three years Hfterward he represented the plaintiff ! In a damage suit for $ 13,000 in which a as to make things look bad for Butler's client. But Butler recalled the unusual rule he had remarked years before, and on cross examination he said: "Your company requires you to ring up fares as soon as passengers enter the car, doesn't it?" "Yes." "Suppose a passenger boards your car anJ tben fiuflg ho ig on the wrong line. Do you state that fact to your superiors, and do they make allowance on your returns for that fare 7" "No. I lose the nickel." "Do you mean to say the company won't take your word for 5 cents?" "No, they won't." "Yet," said the shrewd veteran, turn ing to the jury, "the company asks you to take thlg conauctor's word for $13.000." , Butler's client received a verdict. , Brooklyn Eagle. HOW TO REPEL A DOG. Letter Carrier Had a Remedy For Vicious Curs "No one comes in contact with all sorts of dogs more than the letter carrier," said the man in gray as the interviewer trudged along beside him. "Take it outside the business districts and every other family has a dog. Many of them I pay no attention to, but about one out of five aches to get his teeth into my legs at first sight. It is a part of my duty to teach such curs a lifelong lesson." "Do you kick them?" was asked. "That would be foolish. I carry here in mj- side pocket about a quarter of a pound of dry fine cut tobacco. You see it is almost as fine as snuff. The dog that means to bite you won't come charging down with a roar. He sneaks up behind and gives a jump in. I am ready for it. Without seeming to be watching. I know where he Is, and at the right moment he gets the tobacco dust in bis eyes. Then there is a circus. That dog goes through such a performance as you never witnessed. and his owner, man or woman, in- I dulges in all sorts of threats. I deliver the mail and say nothing and go on. The dog's cye3 are sore for a fortnight, and if he afterward meets me on the street he will drop his tail and make a bolt for home. It's a lesson he never forgets, and I believe it also increases his owner's respect for Uncle Sam's uniform." Chicago News. Indians With Blue Eyes. One of the mysteries of Mexico is presented by the Maya Indians, who Inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains in the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and students of ethnology have always been puzzled to account for them. There is a tradition, however, that these Indians are the descendants of the crew and passengers of a Swedish vassel wrecked on the Mexican coast centuries before Columbus discovered the new world, but this tradition ia founded on nothing more substantial than a folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons ago.
