A HEALTHY CITY.

Roanoke is as healthy this year as
any city in the union; a great deal
moro so than many whose papers coca
sionally publish derogatory reports
about us. In Now York, Newark and
many other Northern cities typhoid
fever is raging in an opidemical form
and carrying off people in large numbers.
Roanoke has been remarkably FREQ
from diseases of every kind this
summer. There is scarcely city,
North or South, that has not been badly
scared by the presence of dipthcria, but
Roanoke has escaped with four or five
cases, and they were traced directly to
local causes which were quickly re-
moved. TIE TIMES would say to pco-
pie who are in search of desirable
homes, come to Roanoke. If the city is
reported to be unhealthy investigate
for yourself. Roanoke can stand it and
comparisons, too if other cities can.

TWIN CITIES.

The wearisome quarrel between St.
Paul and Minneapolis continues, with
no sign of abatement. n short time ago
it looked as though it would be closed in
the bonds of municipal wcdlocll, but it
was only the calm which sometimes pre-
cedcs violent storm. They will not
unite under the name of The Twins,
and neither of them will agree to keep
the peace. They will continue to call
each other hard names.
These rival cities could learn prof.
table lesson from Salem and Roanoke,
whose people fulfill tho law by loving
one another Some day Roanoke, Sa
lem and Vinton will unite under one
name. Just now they are busy growing,
flourishing and extending their power
in the sunshine Of prosperity.

BEAUTY AT THE BELL-PUNcH.
A Chicago Girl Serves as n Car Conductor
During ner Lovers Illness.


Some employees introduced an innova-.
ton in conductors on the Madison street
cable line one day recently, says the
Chicago Herald. Passengers on one
car were not asked the question: Fare,
please" in tho ordinary masculine
voice, but dainty, dulcct, feminine tones
propounded it in hesitating voice, &C
companicd by dainty tap on the arm
or shoulder, which made the men want
to pay moro than once. She was n per-
feet vision of loneliness. a dainty, fair
complexion of a healthy pink tinge was
beautifully shaded from the red rose of
the checks to the clear alabastcr of tho
temples.
Pretty dimples broke the roundncss
of the checks. and large, blue eyes,
shielded by long, curving lashcs, mod
estly pccpcd III half-pitiful, Lalf-dcti-
ant manner ut the passengers. A
jaunty conductors cap was saucily set
on tightly curling mass of golden hair.
She was evidently new hand at tho
business.
The gripman confdentially told a
knot of young men that she was q
''stunncr" and had just come to work
that morning. When she would catch
the eye of one of her evidently admiring
passengers, blush would wave up
from her neck and down the dainty
color in her checks with its food of
crimson. She was evidently full of bus
mess, however. One young man who
got on the car sat i'll speechlcss amaze
ment ut the vision which approached
him for his fare, but he was awakened
from his day dreams by the demand,
vouched in busincss-lillc tones. lie
pulled out nickel, which he dropped
into the extended palm of the conduc-
trcss and relapscd into his dream.
Every young man on the Garland it
was crowded, too-rodc clear around
the loop again, and back to the West
side. They were still on the car pay
ing fares when the reporter jumped off.
Inquiries developed the following story
as to the presence of this vision on the
car. The conductor, who was her
sweetheart had become suddenly i'll
while on the car, and was compelled to
leave at once. The woman had been
cashier in Il downtown restaurant, and
knew how to handle money, in addition
to being familiar with the duties of u
conductor from frequent rides on the
car with her fance. a friend assisted
him from the car, and she donncd his
cap and took his place so that he would
not be compelled to continue the trip
while ill She made ono round trip,
when her bctrothed rcjoined the car
and relieved her of tho unpleasant
duties. They were afraid if he re-
ported sick the time would be lost, and
his standing as IN employee would be
impaired.
She expressed strong dislike for the
work, and declared she would never
again accept such position under any
circumstances, but when she accepted
the undertaking she was bound to re-
main at the post of duty. If her con-
ductor lover has ever entertained any
! doubt as to her affection for him he is
now completely satisfied since she has
sufficiently proved it. From the way
nickels poured in on that trip it looks as
if President Yerllcs could make paying
investment by hiring several lady con
ductors-of course, exercising a due re
gard for beauty.
