RAILROAD PLMJS OF YOUllG HARRIMAI1

Son of Dead Railroad King Sees How Roads Are Built By Surveying in West. STARTS FROM THE BOTTOM (PHYSICALLY, AVERELL 18 THE IMAGE OF HIS FATHER, AND HA8 SAME TA8TE8 AND MODE OF LIVING At PARENT. I . ,. ' ... Arden, N. jY., Sept. 11. W. Averell Harriman, Is; what might be termed a freshman in the university of railroadins. He baf for three months been engaged in siaking surveys with a party along the line of the Oregon Short Line, Which his father controls, and be purposes working his way up the ladder, studying railroad building -and operating in all its phases, until such time ase can graduate into the place his father holds. The young 'ban was about the Harriman estate this morning, with C. T. Ford, the sui srintendent, inspecting the improveiients that have been made, and viewing the sites of those that are projc cted. He was particu1 by the funicular rail larly lmpresse way, which is1, the only fast means of approach to tie mansion, and he enthusiastically Congratulated Mr. Ford upon the excellence of the work. Contractors Egotistical. "It is a perfekt grade," he said, "and the correctness bf it is a demonstration of careful engineering and close application to detail in building. "The greates trouble we find in the West Is that ihi contractors or builder3 have too man and do not lik of their own ideaa, to subject themselves t (he absolute dictation of the enI . y. Very. bf ten the contractor 1 s he knots more than the engltieer . and the there comes an un derstanding. Alter this things genall right. . "The West p ssesaes a more intelligent lot of rat -oad builders than the East. I won't ay "intelligent" but rather "more pt ictlcal" Everthing in railroad buildin in the West is done on practical lin s. Very little theory is depended upo . The great demand for more railrot Is makes this necessary. They can't if ford to trust to theory. ., A good ra road surveyor and land engineer in the West is the man who has built r llroads and who has practical knowle ge of the country. The Eastern su veyor or engineer finds himself In trouble in the West If he looks for i supervising position as engineer or.slrveyor. The fellows who have been J in the West for a plumber , of years pan give our Eastern fellows cards an spades. "Yes I like n think I could evi lroad work. I don't accomplish- as much as father for I ilieve he was born a railroad financie ind builder." "Do you Inten to start railroading from the bottori?" Mr. Harriman was asked , "Yes, in asensel Surveying is the first essential by which good railroad men attain to the liiccess of a railroal manager. And toket this information I am working .will a surveying party now." With Commn Workmen. Mr. Harriman his not been located in any one particular place, but has been transfeered wherever his corps went. He says hi will not become a fireman or an Ingineer, believing that the practical fide of railroading does not necessitaf going that far. The knowing of Jul how far to reach a given point and at the lowest cost Is the main point sout building railroads and extending them, young Harriman believed However, the young railroad man will work with" a fireman and wth thl engineers, riding with them in their labs and carefully studying their line of work, their hours of employment their conditions, etc He will also ecer the shops and there ' study mechanical engineering and draughting.

Physically Averell is the image of his father, and his manners, actions, mode of living, and choice of amusements add to the resemblance. 1 COAT OF Along With Meredith's Sword And Spurs Were Shown. Cambridge City, Ind., Sept. 10. The Farm and Home club held a harvest meeting at Nor borough Farm, the home of Mrs. Virginia Meredith, Wednesday. Mrs. Elizabeth Earl of Connersville, was present and exhibited a number of rare pieces of Chinese and Japanese embroideries. Among the articles exhibited was a coat worn by the Chinese emperor, which was a gift to Mrs. Stewart, who has just returned from a sojourn, in the Orient. An old silver pitcher, two hundred and forty years old, belonging to Mrs. Perry Wilson, of Dublin, Gen. Meredith's sword and spurs, beautiful old china and quaint old garments were also displayed. WORK THAT TELLS. Plenty of It Has Been Done Right Here In Richmond. Cures that last are cures that tell. To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must Investigate the cures and see If they prove permanent Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof exists right here in Richmond. People who testified years ago to relief from backache, kidney and urinary disorders, now declare that relief was permanent and the cure perfect. How can any Richmond sufferer longer ' doubt the evidence? Miss Frances Hamilton, 27 N. Ninth Street, Richmond, Ind., says : "I was annoyed greatly by pains through the small of my back and in my shoulders. When my sister advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store and two boxes freed me from the trouble. I think highly of Doan's Kidney Pills and consider them worthy of recommendation." The above statement was given in July 1906 and on December 12, 1908, Miss Hamilton added: "I have had no return of kidney complaint since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me.

Akbar, one of the first of the great moguls who ruled India, has been named the Asiatic Charlemagne. He was a statesman and an educator and built a palace for the reception of men who loved learning and sought after wisdom. The great mogul's passion for knowledge Is said to have been shown by a whimsical experiment he once made to determine If it was true, as he had heard, that Hebrew was the natural language of all who had never been taught any other tongue. ; To test this assertion Akbar caused a dozen nursing children to be shut up in a castle six leagues from Agra, his capital city. Eaeh child was reared by a dumb nurse. The porter also was a mute, and he was forbidden, upon pain of death, to open the gates of the castle. When the children were twelve years of age JteHfear ordered them to be brought before him. Men learned in Sanskrit, in Arabic, in Persian and in Hebrew were assembled at the royal palace to tell what language the children spoke. Akbar, seated on his throne -ami surrounded by these linguists, ordered the children to be brought in. Each child was addressed, and, to the surprise of the assembly, every one answered by a sign. Not a child could speak a word. They had all learned from their nurses to express themselves by gestures! VI rat Coma, Ptrat Served. week before commencement Jones, a senior, who was weary of boarding house fare, was happily engaged in donning his dinner clothes. A smile of delighted anticipation' played upon his features when Bobbins entered In a dinner coat. "Hello, Charley ! greeted Jones Cheerily. "What's up?" "Oh, nothing up," said Bobbins. "I'm Jost going round to the Clemens es ro call going to see if I can't get asked to dinner." The smile faded slowly from Jones' features. "Oh, I say, Charley," he expostulated, "can't you go somewhere else? I was going there." Youth's Companion.

THE ATLANTIC LINERS Signs, Signals and Flags Used by the Various Companies.

COLORS OF THE BIG FUNNELS In Some Cases They Are Very Much Alike, but the Night Lights Used by the Vessels of the Different Lines Are Quite Distinctive. It is said that but comparatively few of the many thousands of persons that each year patronize the various lines of steamships crossing the Atlantic are familiar with the various distinguishing signs and signals employed by the vessels of the respective companies. Yet it Is a very easy thing to tell at a glance to what line any given ship belongs the American line, for Instance. About all that oae must remember in the case of the vessels of our own line is that the funnels are black, each with its white band. When you see an Atlantic liner at night with a blue light forward, a red light amidships and a blue light aft you know at once that she is of the American line. t All Cunarders show a red funnel with black rings and a black top, while the night signals consist of a blue light and two roman candles, each throwing out six blue balls. There are bat , two of the leading transatlantic lines the ships of which carry cream colored funnels the North German Lloyd and the Holland-America lines. The first employs a perfectly plain funnel without any other color than cream, and the latter shows a cream funnel with a white band and green borders. Signals dispjayed at night by these lines are, in the case of the North German Lloyd, two blue red lights, one forward and one aft, and, in the case of the Holland-America line, a green light forward and aft, with a white light under the bridge. Two lines use buff tunnels, the White Star and the Hamburg-American, the difference between the two being jthat, while the- former shows a black top, the latter is plain buff throughout. White Star night signals are two green lights flashed simultaneously. Quite a number of lines carry black funnels the American with a white band, as mentioned above; the Anchor, which is entirely black; the Bristol, with a variegated and fancy touch, the black smokestack being relieved by a white band in the center and a blue star in the middle of the white band. In the regular service of the HamburgAmerican line, as distinguished from the express service, we find that the color is plain black, while the Red Star is black with a white band and a black top. The Scandinavian-American and the Wilson lines have red and black funnels, black in the first case with a red top and red funnel with a black top In the second." The red funnel of the French line has a black top similar to the funnels of other lines, but with different proportions of color. On this line the night signals are a blue light forward, a white light amidships and a red light aft, forming the French tricolor. At night the Anchor line of vessels shows a white light, then a red. The , Bristol displays a green light only. The Hamburg-American ships for both services, regular and express, show two red-white-blue lights in quick succession at the stern. The Red Star displays three red lights, one forward, one aft and one amidships, all flashed together. The Scandinavian line employs one white-red, followed by one red-white light, and the Wilson puts out two red lights about sixty feet apart It will be observed from the foregoing that the night signals of all the different lines vary, while the funnels In some cases are very similar. This, however, does not lead to confusion, for in determining the line to which a vessel belongs one must also take Into consideration the flag or pennant she flies. Every line, of course, carries a different "house flag," as It Is called. The flag of the Cnnard line Is red with a golden lion in the center, while that of the White Star vessels is of the same color, but swallowtail in shape and containing a white star. The bouse flag of the Red Star line is exactly the same as that of the White Star company with the colors reversed flag white, star red. The flag of the Hamburg-American line is an elaborate affair white and blue diagonally quartered with a black anchor and a yellow shield in the center. The North German Lloyd flag Is a handsome one, showing a design of a key and an anchor crossed in the center of a laurel wreath In blue on a white field, s The Atlantic Transport line flies a pretty flag of red, white and blue horizontal bars, with stars.

"M'Liss- Tonight. "M'Liss," with jolly Nellie McHenry in the title role, under the management of Chas. H. Wuerz. who has made a grand revival of Bret Harte's play of the days of 49, will be offered at the Gennett tonight. It deals with the times when men from the east went almost crazy with the tales they heard of the hidden wealth under the soil of California and when the Golden State was the Mecca for treasure seekers from every part of the civilized world. The central figure, the name part, is one of the most delicious characters in fiction, a wild, wayward girl, who has lived all of her young life with the rough men of the mining camps, but who, despite the contamination of her surroundings, rises above them all. stands by the man to whom she has given her heart and proves herself to be a woman that any man might be proud to call his wife.

Katwyk-aan-Zee. a picturesque place

on the North Sea. The picture is said to be absolutely correct and a duplication of an actual scene. In the background is the great, practical red windmill, from which, the play takes its name, with ks slowly sweeping sails, and at one side is a funny little Dutch inn. which has an important bearing on the story. The - second scene shows aNDelft blue interior representing the house of the Burgomaster. Both these settings are typical of the artistic distinction that characterizes all of Martin & Emery Co.'s productions. The plot revolves around two stranded Americans, played by Swor and Woods. They are unable for some time to escape from the windmill region because they cant pay their board bilL In an effort to evade It, which calls for a sensational sortie from a gabled window, they are captured by the Burgomaster and put to work, 6ne as a waiter and the other as an interpreter. The Burgomaster's daughter has a love affair with a young sailor, and when her father finds out about it he imprisons her in the old red mill, which has the reputation of being haunted. . How the two Americans rescue her from the mill is a spectacular development of the first act. In the second act the two Americans, in their efforts to flee hard luck and Holland, have to' resort to various disguises, the one having the most important bearing on the story being a clever representation of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. In these characters they finally bring about a happy ending to the story and reap pecuniary reward for both and the hand of a charming damsel named Tina, for one. "The Red Mill" will be at the Gennett tomorrow and seats are now selling for both the matinee and night. Salaam.
