nesses of the accident
Grip Car. which occurred Oh the
Selby avenue cable
line, last Tuesday. express the opinion
that, had the grip car been guarded with
a pilot, the accident would not have
resulted SO disastrously to the unfort-
uuate man who was caught, crushed
and killed under the wheels of the
train. Why the grips are not provided
with that very essential fixture, the
"cowcatcher," is matter upon which.
the street railway company should ex-
press itself. Patrons. in discussing
the features and equipment of the
line, Invariably observe the dangerous
breach between the floor deck of
the grip car and the roadbed.
To the eye which views the approaching
train from the level of the track, the
grip car looks like some huge machine
moving on with open mouth, for the
taking in and grinding to death and de-
struction every obstacle in its way. The
''cowcatcher" has proved of inestima.
BILE value to the locomotive, in that in
stead of absorbing objects on or near
the track, it throws them off. If the in
clined hood of ''cowcatcher' had
caught the victim of Tuesdays miShap,
it is reasonable to presume there would
have been no fatality.

GUM cHEwERs have an instructive lesson in
the case of the young Brooklyn couple. They
lived near by, and were so neighborly that
they used to take turns chewing the same
wad of gum. The girl took contagious dis
ease and died, and the gum gave the same
disease to the boy, and he followed her to a
land where it is supposed there is no gum
to chew. The moral is palpable.

Guessers. past his eighty-sixth
wear, attributes his

age and healthy life partly to the fact
that sixty years ago he was told by
physician who had examined him that
he had the germs of consumption, and

Paul mentions that he was warned by a
physician of high standing thirty-five
years ago that he could not possibly
live ten years unless he gave up smok-
ing. AS he never abated the habit, he
suspects that prophet was in error. A
gentleman in this city who Is nearly

says that before he married her he was
warned by his friends that she bad con-

railway" said Duncan
Pacific. McIntire, of Montreal.
1.-THE road was never
in as good condition as it is to-day, and
we shall carry 100000 bushels of
wheat this year, as well as an immense
quantity of cattle for export to England.
The wheat is carried to Port Arthur
and then by water to outside ports. The
difficulty that the Northern and the
Central Pacific roads have with snow
blockades IS entirely wanting on the
Canadian railway. The altitude of our
road is 1000 feet lower than that of the
Central Pacific, and, therefore, the SNOW
does not trouble us much. OF course,
we are not doing the great carrying
business that the Pacific roads of the
United States are, as they have the
thousands of immigrants to draw upon;
but we expect great things in the fut-
ure." MIR. McIntire is said to be the
largest individual owner of the stock,

tire is building residence i'll Montreal

Bosh! He is no more charitable than

never mentioned. His competitor is a

worked himself up to the front rank.
He is known all over the city as an hon

Woman. pected visit of Mrs.
Frank Leslie to ST.
Paul suggests discussion of the ques-
ton whether or not woman's capacity
: to rise in the world is limited to two
spheres, the stage and literature. Mrs.
Leslie's distinction is contradiction to
the current belief that woman must de-

of the distinguished women of
the world have acquired their dis
tinctiOn Oh the stage or in literature.
While Mrs. Leslie has literary renown.
yet she is best known for her business
qualifications. She took hold of her
husbands publications after his death
and made a great success of them,
when the best financiers in Wall street
predicted failure. She did what no
man in New York had the courage to
attempt. The progress of civilization
is bringing about better appreci-
Her improvement in this respect has
been largely the result of inventive
progress. The telephone, the type
writer, the increased demand for
stenographic clerks, and the varied
manufacturing industries in which
women have place, have all con-
tributed to recognition of the value of
wOman'S services in the working world.

the object glass that came over from
Paris. There will be two of these
lenses, and it will take from two to
three years to properly shape and polish
them. One lens is of flint and the other
of crown glass, which by their
differing retroactive properties correct
one another's chromatic errors and pro-
duce an image free from confusing
fringes of cOlored light. When finished
one of these lenses will have money
value equal to the rareSt gems of the

largest refracting telescope in the world.
Its diameter will be forty inches, four
inches more than the Lick telescope,

lie about One-fOurth greater. Its
great Object-glass will grasp 10000

ment is expected to solve some of the

a regular devotee of John Barnes GYM

would play pool, smoke Stenchoras Gig

The members of the Republican coun-
ty committee were almost thrown into
fit yesterday morning when they dis
covered that the GLOBE had found out
few facts in regard to the
lavish manner in which they
have made their assessments, and,
was cast upon that poor, overworked
man, Chairman Samuel Lowenstein.
The GLOBE has heretofore stated that
there was serious trouble in the Re-
publican county committee, and it is
now only matter of few days time
until it becomes public.
jealousy is the cause of the trouble,
for on that committee there are men
who insist on being given credit for
every good move made, or they are sore.
They realize that Chairman Lowenstein
is doing all the work, and if the ticket
goes through will come in for the larger
part of the credit th would naturally
attach to such feat. These men,
caring less for the success of
the party than for themselves,
have commenced warfare on Mr..
LOwenstein, which will be kept up I'M
til the ticket is buried out of sight in
November. When to this opposition on
the committee is added the open hostil-
ity of the "kids," it is not at all oil fficult
to predict the result.
But Chairman Lowenstein, astute and
careful politician though he is, cannot
do everything, and, Saddled down as he
is with the weight of internal hicker-
ings, it is SAID he is almost ready to give
up the ghost and quit.
Whenever Hon. Ell. F. Stevens goes to
speak he invariably takes the defensive
and keeps it, and he has need to do so.
He complains very bitterly of the kind
of campaign being made by Hon. c. H.
Benedict, the Democratic and citizens
nominee, but he has no cause for it.
All Mr.. Benedict does is to read an
editorial from the st. Paul Dispatch,
published at the close OF the
last session of the legislature,
in which Mr.. Stevens record
in that body is held up in its true light.
OF all the members sent by this county
to the last legislature, Mr.. Stevens was
the only one whose record demanded
that he be denounced editorially The
Dispatch then declared him to have
been the worst man in the entire dele
CATION.
Will Mr.. Benedict be elected?
Without doubt and by a handsome
majority. He is every day growing in
favor with the people, although he may
not care to engage i'll the disreputable
tactics of his opponent. He is making
a splendid campaign, and deserves the
vote of every fair-minded citizen of the
