fFFICIEW OF EMPLOYES GOOD "Pennsylvania System Is Greatly Pleased Over the Results.

GENERAL AVERAGE IS 99.6 FOR PA8T SIX MONTHS AN AVER- ' AGE OF OVER EIGHT HUNDRED TESTS PER DAY MADE ON THE VARIOUS LINES. Pittsburg. Aug. 27. Over 156.000 efficiency tests were made by the Pennsylvania Railroad In . the first six months of this year, and practically a perfect record was made by the employes. These figures are shown in a ' report Issued today by the railroad. The average number of testa made each day was 862, and of the total for the six months, 99.6 per cent, were perfect. In the .4 per cent of failures are Included the cases where enginemen passed signals by a few feet before stopping their trains, and similar cases, which, though technical violations, were not etich as would make possible an accident to a train. Efficiency, or surprise tests, are conducted by officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who, at unusual times and places, set signals at caution or danger, extinguish signal lights, display fuses, or place torpedoes on the track, -with a view to keeping enginemen constantly on the alert for any and all signals. In conducting surprise tests the officials sometimes extinguish signal lamps, and while englnemen may stop at the signal, failure to report the dark lamp at the next station lays them liable to suspension. Failure to observe any of the rules regarding the operation of trains Is disciplined. Tests Were Divided. The tests made in the first six months of this year were divided into four classes in which the following records were made by the men : Block signal rules. 24,292 tests, of which 99.6 per cent, showed perfect observance on the part of employes; rules governing flagmen, and the use of fuses, torpedoes, and other signals, 23,042 tests, with 99.5 per cent, perfect; trains ahead of schedule time, 53,503 tests, with 99.7 per cent, perfect; signalmen relieving each other, 99.9 per cent perfect out of 56,112 tests. . . vThe New York Division the line between New York and Philadelphia showed a perfect record in all signal tests, as did the Cresson and the Central Divisions. On the Sunbury and Shamokin Divisions a total of 8,732 signal rule tests were made and in only 9 cases was the observance imperfect. Nine of the 26 divisions reported perfect observance of all block signal rules; five were perfect in other signals, twenty-one in trains running (ahead of schedule time, and ten in signalmen relieving each other. What's the matter with American farmers that they are neglecting the cultivation of apples, one of the mo.it profitable crops that can be raised? While are population Is rapidly increasing and while we are exporting more and more of the fruit, the production of apples in the United States has been falling for nearly fifteen years In 1805 we raised OO.OOO.OOO barrels and In 18011 OO.OOO.OOO. For the last four years the average yield has been less than 28.00,000. .In 1908 the crop was only 23.000,000.. In 1002 we exported only 2.800,000 bushels; in 1)7, 7,800,000.

American Cable Company Has Big Row on With Newfoundland

New York, Aug. 27. The difficulties between the Commercial Cable company and the Newfoundland government are assuming internatfoal Importance. The Commercial Cable company sought to fight out its battle directly with Premier Morris of Newfoundland, but now the Anglo-American Telegraph company, which lands in - Newfoundland, has joined forces with the premier by writing to the British colonial office in London. The Commercial Cable company, therefore, has two oponents. The issue is whether the Newfoundland government has the right to repudiate a reasonable legal agreement on the faith of which over one million dollars has been expended by an American corporation.. The AnglfAmerican Telegraph company is evidently trying to inject another issue Into the controversy, namely whether It shall hereafter have a monopoly of the Newfoundland business as It had for fifty I years. The Commercial Cable company, an American corporation, operates five ca bles from the United States to Europe. It expended over a million dollars In a new cable to Newfoundland, under a contract made by the Newfoundland government last February, when Sir Robert Bond was premier, and the present trouble is with the new administration headed by Sir Edward P.

Morris, as premier, which was in opposition to Sir Robert oBnd and which succeeded in the election which took place in Newfoundland a few weeks ago. The new administration repudiated the contract. Thereupon the Commercial Cable company wrote a letter of protest to Sir Edward P. Morris and Sir Edward, who is in London, makes an answer. The Anglo-American Telegraph company, a British corporation operating cables between Great Britain and the United States in competition with the Commercial Cable company, also joins in the controversy, and has written a letter to the British colonial secretary to the effect that the contract should not be observed, because it will injure the interests of that company. The Commercial Cable company now makes reply, and shows that the object of the Anglo-American company is to re-establish the monopoly that it held for fifty years prior to 1004. The Commercial Cable company states that its position is that it made a legal and reasonable contract with a responsible British government and invested over a million dollars on the faith of that contract, and that consequently it expects the Newfoundland government to respect the contract and not to repudiate it simply because one party to it is an American corporation, and because a British corporation complains that it will be hurt by the contract.

flEUHIOII WIS HELD On the 25th inst the Parrish and Phillips families met at Glen Miller Park for their first reunion. There has been a desire for a number of years for an annual reunion of the two families, so Captain J. R. Phillips of Winchester, Ind., and Mr. William N-. Parrish of this city issued an invitation about a month ago to come to Richmond for the first reunion and was responded to by about one hundred, thus proving to be a grand success. The two deserve much credit and thanks from all for the ample arrangements and the pleasant manner all were received and cared for during the day. Captain J. R. Phillips acted as chairman and at the proper time invited all to surround the tables, which were groaning with the bountiful and attractive 'dinner. James Parrish of Crete, Ind., in a clear and impressive manner offered thanks to the Ruler of All. To say that all did full justice to the excellent dinner would be putting it mild. After dinner we were again called to order and it being the unanimous opinion to make it an annual reunion, an organization was then perfected. The following officers for the coming year were unanimously elected: President, Capt J. R. Phillips, Winchester, Ind. Vice President, William N. Parrish, Richmond. Secretary, Miss Bertha Westfall, Greenville, O. Treasurer, Mrs. Mary Parrish Jefferies, Richmond. Springfield, O., and Richmond, Ind., were put in nomination for the next meeting place. Richmond received the larger vote hence at the same place next year. The time of meeting was left with the officers which they will announce in due time. As I am not able at this time to give names and addresses of all present on this occasion I wil give the places as I now recollect .represented: Richmond. Winchester, Dublin, Rockport, Crete, Lynn, Fountain City, and Harriman, Tennessee. All having such a good social time together talking over old times, etc., hence will look forward with pleasure to the annual reunions and I venture the prediction that the next one will be more largely attended, and under the efficient officers and assistance and co-operation of all will be much more of a success.

NOW BELLBOYS CLAIM "SPOOKS" DID IT That's Their Excuse for Steam Heat at Westcott Being Turned On. GUESTS RUSH TO STREET RADIATORS GLOWED WITH GENEROUS HEAT WHILE OUT8IOE PAVING BRICKS SMOKED IN THE GLARE OF SUN. Whew, isn't it unusually warm this afternoon? Warm? It's hot and getting hotter all the time. Never saw such weather in all my life. Ring for some more ice water quick, and pass me that fan. And with beads of great perspiration standing out on their heated brows like moisture on a cavern wall, the guests at the Westcott hotel scrutinised the thermometers in their rooms yesterday afternoon and wondered if they were being victimized by an optical delusion. Faster and faster the mercury in the little glass tube soared upward. Hotter and hotter became the excited guests. Ninety ninety-one ninety-two ninety-three degrees and still the liquid was traveling toward the top apparently unmindful of the great excitement it was creating. Would it never stop, they thought, and would it be possible for any one to live in such terrific heat? Why surely the world must be coming to an end. Never in their existence had they witnessed such weather as this. Still the people on the streets did not appear to be so overcome. Why some of them were actually wearing their coats. Think of it. Rush to Streets. With a rush, the hot, excited guests forsook their torrid abodes and sought relief amid more temperate surroundings. And like stepping out of a Turkish bath into a mammoth refrigerator did the cool (?) fragrant (?) atmosphere of 87 degrees on the street seem to those weakened, exhausted persons. For despite the fact that the mercury hovered around the 90 mark outside, the steam heat at the hotel was turned on full blast and it was not many minutes before this fact became fully realized by all the occupants. The radiators in the lobby became red hot and were blowing forth steam in a way to remind one of the severity of winter and that coal was selling at $6 a ton. One could easily imagine by looking at the strenuous operations of the heat producing apparatus that he was in the midst of a severe oold spell. That is if he had a cake of ice on his head and a palm leaf fan in his hand. Otherwise the most vivid imagination would be useless. No one seems to know how the

Culture And His Artistic Rather Puzzled the Court

New York, Aug. 27. Justice Giegerich, in the supreme court yesterday listened to the commencement of an argument on the application of Mrs, Homer Davenport, who seeks a separation from her husband, the well known cartoonist, but stopped the attorneys before it had proceeded very far, adjourning the hearing until Wednesday next, that Mrs. Davenport's attorney night complete his replying affidavits. "These two people," said Mrs. Davenport's lawyer, after a few generalitits, "are both in the cultured and refined class of society " "Just say that again." interrupted Justioe Giegerich; "I did not get it" "They are both in that class of society designated as cultured and refined," continued the attorney "and " heat was turned on, but George Gay, proprietor of the hotel, can testify as to how it was turned off. The colored bell hops attribute it to the "spooks" that, they allege, lurk, in the vicinity of tbe rear elevator and basement. However, Mr. Gay states that the valve was probably opened by mistake by the inspector who examined the boiler yesterday morning. Nevertheless all the guests agree that it was a bum joke and they do not wish to pass through another similar experience. LIFE OF A PIMPLE. Complexions Are Cleared and Pimples Disappear Overnight Without Trouble. The dispensers of poslam, a new skin discovery, ask that notice be given that no one is urged to purchase it without first obtaining an experimental package. Those who have tried it will find that the fifty-cent box, on sale at W. H. Sudhoffs and all drug stores, is sufficient to cure the worst cases of eczema, where the surface affected is not too large. The itching ceases on first application. It will also cure acne, tetter, blotches, scaly scalp, hives, barber's and every other form of itch, inoluding itching feet. Being flesh-colored and containing no grease, the presence of poslam on exposed surfaces, such as the face and hands, is not perceptible. Water and soap cannot be used in connection with it, as these irritate and prolong skin troubles, sometimes even causing them. As to the experimental package of poslam, it can be had free of charge by mail of the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York. It alone is sufficient to clear the complexion overnight, and to rid the face of pimples in twenty-four hours.

"Would you mind going over that once more and slow? I don't seem to follow you," observed the court, growing interested. The lawyer, then not quite sure of his ground, resumed: "Er that is the plaintiff. Mrs. Davenport, belonged to the cultured class of society, and we supposed the defendant was likewise to be included In the same category." The counselor, said that the car toonist received a salary of $15,000 from the Mail and large sums from his magazine work and lectures. Justice Giegerich, following a new rule that he has established, said that he would not hear arguments until both lawyers were ready to complete their motion papers and adjourned the hearing until Wednesday next.
