weighing Coal on tho Rail.

When railroad company handles
many million tons of coal annually the
question of weighing it becomes mat
ter of some Importance Skill and long
experience have solved the problem,
however, and the bulk of the vast ton
mage of the leading coal carrying road
in the country is weighed on four scales,
and then they are not crowded. The
weight of the empty car is marked in
chalk on the outside. As the car APP
proaches, a clerk takes the number of
the car and its weight, the weigher calls
out the gross weight and the difference
is the weight of the coal.
The cars run as fast as ten miles an
hour across the scale, and it is very
seldom that one has TO be stopped and
brought back for reweighing, although
that is done when the weigher is at all
uncertain about his figures. The men
at the scales can generally tell within a
hundred pounds or so what car con-
tains. AS soon as they see car COM
ing, they know the number of tons it
contains, and have the scale so pre-
pared that only the hundred weights
need be adjusted while the car is NOV
ing over t.-New York Telegram.

After six months dickering about a
fiat house in Ninety-seventh street,
New York, the owner and the prospect
i've purchaser could not come to terms;
the owner wanted S., 900 more than the
otAer would give Then one of the
floors became vacant, and the party
who moved in chanced to be lover of
the trombone. He played about six
hours a day. Two of the tenants
moved out, and no one seemed fond
enough of music to move in. The
owner was wild, and one day told the
prospective purchaser that he could
have the house at his figure. Suddenly
the trombone playing ceased. and there
are people who suspect that the musi-
clan was an agent to the man who sub
sequently bought the house. Yankee

AN EVENING on MUSIC.

Social. Artistic, aud finan

The Presbyterian society conduct
ed highly successful musical enter
tainmeut Friday evening. The
church was crammed, aud after the
first reserve customary among
church audiences had worn away,
there was an abundance of tuthus-
iasm and sLpiaus,. There were in
strunental efforts 10y well known
LEGAL talent, always we'll received.
The musical attraction o: the even
ing Was the first appearance in pub
lie ui Miss Lena Morgan, of Port
land, II student at Paris, who was
given several encorts. The audi
eh,e was simply delighted over the
strength ana purity of Miss Nor
gan's voice. Her French selection
WAS followed by Gottsshalk's "Slum-
Der on, Baby Dear" and "LeOnore,"
a German selection, nearly set them
wild. The fair young singer scored
a great triumph. Miss Thornton
kindly filled several numbers and
took The place on the program for
the male quartet, with her usual
spirit and sweetness. Miss AInes
surpassed herself, and as popular
elocutionists grows in constant favor.
Tie society received $40, and are
desirous of expressing grateful ap-
prtclati1u to all who assisted.

haS written quite freely on the

he liberty to quote from the sena-
tors own words: "I know of but
two objections to her intended hus-
and-the one is that his residence

laughter from this country, and the
Other is that he has title, neither

'Om these objections, however, all
ny information, an1 1 have it from
many sources and the very best of
Ources, is to the effect that he is IA

srlsians (and occasionally an
American) are addicted to. He is

Though her shadow was hnt q line Of Jet.

Was never Rs rare as her wealth Of hair
IL was loosely vOied in Grecian knot
And knew each line of her features fair,
Each dimpled beauty spot.
While my friend talked on OF the battles won
BY the Spaniards camped at Granada's
gate.
OF the deeds by the fierce old Moslems done
wondered ut my fate.
wondered II she ever cared for me
Or would learn TO love at some future day.
My friend was then telling of some Grandee
Made famous in some fray.

And he questioned the right of either side

All Pull Together to Advertise Salem
in the East-SOme Good Speeches.
Nearly hundred of Salem's best
citizens gathered at the Willamette
Friday evening to celebrate the re-
organization of the board of trade.
The gentlemen met in the read
Ing room, held short session, and
a dozen business men made applica-
ton to become members. The board
mas now over hundred members,
and is rapidly growing. The ladies
hlled the parlOrs and at the proper
hour ali repaired TO the dining hall,
and filed long table in the shape
of letter "L." The table was in
Colonel Wagner's best style, was
richly decorated with fruits, flowers,
and ornamental dishes. A cold
lunch followed an oyster stew, then
came speeches. j. Fl. Albert had
been called to Dallas on business,
and hence could not be present to
talk on county roads.
PRESIDENT WRIGHT
opened the ball with a brief state
ment of the objects of the board of
trade being to unite all Salem people
ior one common object to-wit, to
place tins city on its merits before
the world.
He WAS warmly seconded by
Mayor Darcy who spoke of public
improvements, present and future.
