PATENT GRANTED
For an Improved Ankle and Toe Joint for
Artificial Limbs.

For an Improved Ankle and Toe Joint for
Artificial Limbs.
Yesterdays mail brought to the Artificial
Limb Manufacturing Company, of this city,
q patent for the most important improve
ment for artificial limbs that has been yet
invented. Two separate and distinct in
ventions are covered by the patent referred
to. One is for new and improved "ankle
joint" the other an improvement in the
spring OF the toe joint. The new joints give
an ease and springiness in walking that is
second only to the real original limb.
The new ankle joint allows the owner of
the limb to bring it down to the ground upon
the ball of the foot in the ordinary gait with
out shock or injury, the spring joint causing
the toe to give slightly. The toe-spring
gives the proper recovery in raising the foot
again to take the next step. These improved
joints, too. give more endurance to the limb,
causing 1t to last almost twice as long as the
ordinary limb, and when one part wears out
it can be replaced instead of necessitating
the discarding of the limb altogether.

A Masher on Duquesne Way smartIy Taken
Down by Young Lady.
There was sadly mistaken drummer on
Duquesne way last night, but no one SYM
pathized with him, for everyone agreed it
served HIM right. The drummer was a
sprucely dressed young fellow, and he eyed
the passing ladies from the steps of the
Boyer with an impression OF being strictly
Sin it, as far as they were concerned. Pres
emily young lady came along, and. passing
the masher without noticing him, turned
down Duquesne way. The drummer was
smitten; he was in another way, too, later
on. He followed and accosted the young
lady with: Taking a walk. 1 presume 2"
No notice being taken of this, he repeated
it, still keeping beside the girl. Then he
varied the key little. and this brought the
young lady to halt. Raising her hand, in
which she clasped heavy pocketbook, she
hit the masher twice in the face, saying with
the second slap:
"When l want you I shall send for you.
Goodby."

A LAW OF LITTLE FORCE.
Why Agents Hesitate 10 Report Cases of
Rate Cutting.


Rate Cutting.
"About all the Interstate law does is to
scare agents." said freight man yesterday.
at never discovers fraud, and therefore sell
dom has anyone to punish. In the old pool
days if an agent complained to his superiors
of rate cutting, it was taken as an evidence
that he wasn't attending to business and Of
fered the excuse TO account for his failure to
get traffic.
If an agent reports now, the complaint is
turned over to the commission, and they
investigate. The agent is put on the rack,
and asked to Prove his charges. He re-
ceIves his Information from the shipper,
and must depend on him tor proof. Nine
times out of ten the shipper goes back on
him, and is his enemv in the future. If
the charge is sustained the shipper is
in for it as we'll as the
agent, and no man is fool
enough to incriminate himself This is one
reason why the law is of little force in check
ing rate cutting, and it also explains why so
few complaints are made.
Rate cutting is not thing of the past; a
good deal of. it is done to-day. In some
cities they offer a money consideration for
big orders"

Shorter Time on Payments Putting the

j. L. Barclay, the Chicago agent of the
Westinghouse Company, left for the Windy
City on the limited last evening. He came
to the city to explain the workings of the
street railway motor to W. E. Hale, of Chi
caeo. and A. D. Otis, of Yonkers, the ele-
vator men. They are interested in the Con-
solidated Street Railway Company, of To-
ledo. and Mr.. Barclay said he would secure
$50, 900 contract from them to-day.
Mr.. Barclay added that a circular letter
would be issued inside of three months an
nounciug the reorganization of the Electric
Company and settlement of its financial
difficulties. He claims the plant is capable
Of yielding profit of $500, 900 a year, or 6
per cent op capitalization of $4,000, 900.
The company is now doing business on
new basis. Machinery is now sold on 80
days time, and not for six months or year
as formerly. The works are run within the
amount of sales, and Mr.. Barclay said if
this policy had been pursued in the past the
company would be in better shape than it is.
The new plan of payment pleases buyers,
and the result has been an increase in bust.

FREIGHTMEN COMPLAIN.

Traffic Is Very Light and No Signs of Inn
provement
"Tne boom expected in business hasn't
come" remarked w. NJ. Clark. Commercial
Agent of the Missouri Pacific. yesterday.
"I hardly know what is the cause of the
present depression; whether it comes from
labor troubles or something else. The mills
seem to be working but nobody is asking
for rates and the shipments are very hight"
Division Freight Agent Means, of the
Panhandle, said it has been a long time
since the railroad business has been SO dull.
He doesn't look for much improvement be-
fore 60 days. The Pennsylvania lines have
plenty of empty cars and their long side
trac ks are lined with them.

The Apollo Iron and Steel Company is
having lively time filling the orders for

chased by parties who tin it and it is found

bility demanded by users of tin and terne
plates.
