It Is the present plan to have the line built through Brookvllel and Liberty, thus taking In the most populous districts between the terminals of the proposed line. In a few days plans will be laid for the proposed line and an organization perfected by the appointment of an executive comlttee composed of three members of each Commercial club. Also represented will be the Young Men's Business club of Richmond. There were many suggestions offered yesterday but no definite action was taken. Much enthusiasm was shown and it was proposed to appoint a prospect committee consisting of two members from each club, which will go over the route of the line with a civil engineer and decide on a prospective route. Following are those who attended the meeting: K. R. Beard, W. R. Tayn. J. S. Mltchel and O. I Stivers or Liberty; J. C. Shirk, V. B. Bradt. Louis Kederman. George K. Mullin, I. A. Poper.

Champ Clark is a close student of the Bible. It Is often remarked by those who have heard the Missouri leader address the bouse that his knowledge of the Scriptures la remarkable and that his memory for verbatim quotations parallels Ma learning on Biblical subjects. During the recent campaign in Mr. Clark's district his opponent for the seat in congress was Judge Reuben F. Roy. Mr. Clark wanted an appropriate quotation with which to clinch his argument against the jurist with which to clinch his argument against the Jurist. He turned again to the Scriptures as the most fertile Held. At the conclusion of every one of his stump speeches he paused, lowered his voice and said: "Reuben, unstable as water, thou shalt not excel." "Reuben didn't," Mr. Clark now says with an unctlous Inflection. THOUGHT HE RAN OVER LION, ONLY SKIN Hackensackv N. J., Dec. 3. "Gee w-hls, I Just run over a lion," exclaimed a motorman on the Hudson river trolly line, as he stopfed his car on Passaic street, Hackensack, and opened the front door to arouse the sleep passengers. There was considerable excitement and Inspector Harry Haddon was the first to speak. "How did you know it was a lion?" he asked. "My heavens, man. the searchlight shone right on his head, and there were the big eyes wide open and the mouth wide open, showing his teeth, and I hated to do it," was the motorxnan's answer. Inspector Haddon never hunted In the jungles, but he bravely walked lack along the track. There was the lion's head, all right, but the balance of 1t was a monster laprobe. The trolley wheel had ripped the skin in the middle. The Inspector took the lion to police headquarters and for a moment Sergeant O'Shea was rudely shocked. The valuable robe was no doubt dropped from an automobile. Mclean asks pay for refusing drink Cincinnati, Dec. 3. Larry McLean, the big catcher of the Reds, will soon make a new proposition in regard to his salary if he Is to play with the team next year. Larry says he will insist upon being paid at the rate of 25 cents for eVery drink he refuses dur- ' ing the coming year. "I was made to sign a fool contract last year," said Larry today, "and now I'm going to have a contract of my own. I was to lose $25 every time I touched a drink after my fling at Hot Springs. Now I want to be paid for every drink I refuse. "I will pay for a man to go around with roe, eat with me, sleep with me and be with me all the time to see that 1 don't take a drink, and to get the correct number of times I am asked to take a drink a day. This may sound foolish, but it Is on the level." McLean insists that he means every word he says about his new contract, anr proposes to have it drawn up within a few days. Two concessions for supplying Mexican cities with gas plants have recently been secured by an American end both run for 50 years. during which lime the plants shall be exempt from taxation.

BOTH SEXES

Men Undergo Operations to Improve Appearance. Boston, Mass.. Dec. 3. "Vanity is about equally distributed between the sexes," said a beauty doctor to a Boston reporter. "Men are not more vain than women, nor women than men. though I believe that women get the credit generally for more vanity. I could tell you many tales of the opera tions men go through with to be made more beautiful. "Look at this picture of this old beau. Isn't he handsome? He Is 85 if he is a day. and I think there is hardly a part of his countenance that he hasn't come here to have some line of his face carved Into greater mobil ity and beauty. I have cut open the bag3 under his eyes and sewed them up again, taken out unnecessary cuticle: I have sewed up the wrinkles around his mouth, doctored his doublechin und shaped up the lobes of his ears to suit his idea of grace and beauty. "These operations are not painful at the moment, because I use plenty of cocaine, but you'd think the after-ef fect would Le too much for 6uch an old gentleman. Wouldn't you? But it is not. He is bound to be beautiful. 'i had another old customer who was a queer guy. He wanted his chin made into the shape of Napoleon's. He brought a little bust of Napoleon with him every time he came for me to carve it by. Had me take piece after piece out of his chin to square it. I was glad when I got his chin to his liking and he took himself and the bust off. "Men are fairly steady of nerve when it comes to these delicate operations, but they aren't In it with the women. They seem to be able to stand any sort of pain better than men. . A woman came to me not long ago to have her ears sewed back. They rtood out in a way that was anything but beautiful, put ber in the chair and examined her ears. They were in a frightful condition. I found many places that had been stitched again and again, some that were not healed yet. " 'You have already been operated on,' " I said. "No; she hadn't. Finally she admitted the truth. Her ears were so abnormal she was ashamed of them. When she went to a party she had her maid sew them back to her head with a common needle and thread. "What do you think of that? No cocaine, no anything, and yet she stood it again and again, many times, from the looks of her ears. "You should see the list of Newport swells I have operated on, who telegraph me to come down, all expenses paid, whenever they want a tuck taken Iri an eyelid or a reef in a double chin or a stitch in an upper eyelid or an eyebrow carved into more graceful lines than those followed by Nature. The common people must remain as God made them, but not so the rich. I make them over. When you've got money to burn, it's a quick way to burn it." ALLIGATORS' NESTS. They Resemble Haystacks and Are Natural Incubators. "An alligators' nest is an interesting thing." said Alligator Joe. "Wild alligutors build their nests on the bank of a river or in marshy places. They are made of mud. saw grass and leaves and mold. They are sort of natural Incubators, for the eggs, which are laid from thirty-five to eighty in a nest at one time, are batched out by the steani which comes up through tbe mud as much as by tbe sun. Around tbe nest a pile of grass is laid, sometimes as high as six feet, and from a distance resembles a stack of haj. The mother gator has her den near by. She makes it by burrowing Into a bank of soft mud. and sometimes it is seventy feet or more inland. Tbe only way to get her out of u den like that is to take a long steel rod and thrust it dowu the tunnel, which is always slanting. Wheu the gator feels the prodding she will come out to see what the trouble Is. "It takes alligator eggs two months and nix days to hatch. When the little ones come out tbe mother calls them together by a noise which is something between a cluck and n grunt, and they all scramble down from tbe nest to ber den. If It Is on the edge of a river tbe den is filled with minnows. Aft the mother enters the den she swishes lx-r tall arouud with terrific force, killing the smallest flsb. and when they float the little alligators nab tltem up. "A mother alligator will sometimes have four or five dens, and she takes her brood from one to another, repeat ing the swishing process in each one until the young ones bate had a full meal." -Harriet Quimby La Leslie's. Torn Memory. "Before I went away I told Tom Just what I vrauted him to do about tbe house from day to day. aud to make it doubly sure I talked my orders Into our phonograph so he could play the record each night and so remember.' "And did he then forget?" "I found everything iu the house about ruined. He said be couldn't bear to play the phonograph In gj.v absence: it reminded him so of me and madhim lonely." Boston HeraM A Spider With a Lasso. Spltters have a number of Ingenious ways of alluring and catching their prey. A . writer In Topular Science describes an American spider which haunts evergreen trees and snares its dinner by means of a kind of lasso. The web of tne spider Is triangular in form. Two corners of the triangle are attached to twigs, bnt the other corner, which ends in a single thread. Is held by tbe spider, perched on a neighboring twig. When a fly strikes tiie web the spider loosens his hold and the elastic threads instantly ea-

tangle the vk'tiui. 1

As an office boy Master George, employed In a certain downtown place of business, is the dynamic essence of effervescent energy and the eseinpliflcatiou of cheerful obedience. But there may Le such a thing as too pmit promptitude. A ffw days ago George's employer emerged from his oSice and. seeing the office bor. requested him to take a package which be would i1nd on his employer's desk and deliver it to tli liev.

BRICKLAYERS UNITE.

Recant Strike In New York Remits In Consolidation. Union bricklayers iu New York city have won a splendid victory. Tbe Master Builders' association granted all tbe demands of tbe bricklayers" unions, and the strike which was called on Sept. 2tS in retaliation for a lockout called by the bosses was called off What was intended by the master builders as a blow to the Bricklayers' union was turued by the general waHiout of the men and tlielr perfect loyalty and solidarity into a complete victory for tbe union. Incidentally this fight has resulted In au upheaval in the bricklayers organization which will result iu greater solidarity among the uuions in New York city. The successful conclusion of the bricklayers' fight was hailed with delight by the workers in tbe other building, trades. The .strike has resulted in crushing a group of union ofllcials who have for years been binding the rank and file of the New York unions with trade agreements with the master builders which were lu defiance of the laws ot the international unlou. These officials were deposed and preparations made to reorganize tlpe bricklayers iu that city. The finauces and other business affairs of utilous Nos. 1- and 7 are to be turned over to tbe international officers uutil the thirteen New York unions can be reorganized. A FRIEND OF LABOR. Governor C. E. Hughes, the New Supreme Court Justice. Now that Governor Hughes has retired from politics and ascended to a place on the highest judicial tribunal in tbe world the fact can be acknowledged, without hurting anybody's political corns, that be was the greatest friend of labor laws that ever occupied the governor's chair at Albany, says the Legislative Labor News of Albany. During his two terms he has signed tifty-six labor laws, iucludiag among them tho best lalor laws ever enacted in this or any other, state. He also urged tho enactment of labor laws In bis messages to tlu? legislature, even going so far as to place the demand for a labor law In one of his messages to an extra session of the legislature. Only 1C2 labor laws have been enacted In the state since its erection in 1777 133 years ago. One-third of these, exceeding Iu quality all of the others, have been enacted and signed during Governor Hughes' terajs of three years and nine months. With such a record of approval and suggestion of progressive legislation in the Interest of humanity to his credit. It is easy to believe that human rights will have a steadfast and sympathetic upholder in the new associate Justice of tho supreme court of the United States. The final revised edition of the New Testament, together with the first completed book of the Old Testament, the Psalms of David, is now issuing from the press at Pekin in Chinese. KNOLLENBER
