A petition has been circulating the past
week addressed to the railroad ofnclais
asking that the two o'clock express south
stop here regularly. 1t seems that since
the new time table of June 18th went into
effect that this train is not advertised ia
stop here except for out of the state pas
sengers or to and from connecting ran
roads yet such has been the character OF
the passenger traffic at this station tnat
only once has the tram failed TO stop here
This train has been great accommoda-
ton to the locally travelling public, but
lately has somewhat fallen into disuse IN
that respect on account OF not being GER
tain to stop here. IL is sincerely TO be
hoped that the desired change will be
made.

An Enthusiasts Vision of an Ideal Mid

Now that another summer is upon us"
said the perennial crank, "let me urge
upon you newspaper men that you have an
opportunity to do a great act of philan-
thropy for many hundreds of New York
srs whose incomes will not allow them to
spend the dog days out of the heated city,
by persuading some capitalist TO fit up a
big steamer for hotel There's money
In it.
Get big steamer, or, better still, build
pne with plenty Of roomy staterooms, well
ventilated, with ample dining, smoking
and lounging saloons. and two or three
decks for promenade and chairs. Charge
the customary summer hotel rates, and let
the steamer have pier near the Battery.
"Let her start from that pier every eve
ming at the close of business and steam
slowly out of the bay while her guests are
at dinner Then let her touch her pier
again in time for those who want to spend
the evening on shore. After these people
are landed on the pier let the steamer put
out from the shore and steam slowly about
In the cool evening air. while her passen-
gers amuse themselves in her saloons and
staterooms and on her decks just AS people
do in hotels Just little before midnight
let the steamer steam up TO her pier and
take on board those people who have been
at the theaters. ETC., and then drop away
down the bay again for the night.
what refreshing and invigorating sleep
man could get in that salty air. Quiet
and order could be preserved on board just
as well as in a hotel. and in the morning
passengers could be landed fresh for busi-
ness, while those who had no business in
the city could spend the whole day on board
If they liked.
"There need be little unpleasant bump
ing and noise OF machinery AS only enough
steam would need to be kept up TO insure
Eteerage way. No one would look for
speed. The expenses would be as small
ms any other city hotels. and ! am certain
that people would just tumble over each
other TO get quarters on the ship. On those
rare occasions when the water was too
rough or the wind too boisterous the ship
need not leave her pier at all, as the atmos-
phere would be cool enough then down by
the Battery 10 render the night agreeable.

they left the Lincoln Park church Sun

Lebanon. told these things in broken
English.
Amen Rasi is tall, handsome Assy-
rian, with skin as rich as the CHINA

tain on which he was born. He looked
into the curious, bright eyes of girls
and told them that, had they been born
Assyrians in Assyria they could not go
upon the streets unless their faces were
concealed; that they could neither re-
ceive nor make a call among women
without their husbands consent, and
that if at any time, even by accident,
they were seen by any man or in any
way recognized no one would marry
them.
He said that once two couples-a tall
man and short woman, and a short
man and tall woman-stood before a
priest to be wed. The priest placed the
tall man and tall woman and the short
man and short woman together, and
none of the four knew whether it was
right or not, neither of them knowing

short woman and the short man by the
tall woman, as that was the way of the
contracts.
Then Mr.. Rasi showed how these con
tracts were made. He left the pulpit,
and presently man wrapped up in rich
Assyrian raiment went up and sat upon
the floor. Mr. Rasi came back and
squatted beside him.

Don't talk to me about the twenty

"But no little one."
"Oh, think so.

But even then Isaac did not get the
little one, because few minutes later
Mr. Rasi returned as another man, and
by doubling the price secured the girl
for his son Jacob.
Then Amen Rasi looked at the young
men, whose patent feathers cost them
seven dollars. and told them that people
in Assyria paid fifty cents for suit Of
clothes. The common people, he said,
paid three cents for twenty-five pounds
of cabbage and four cents for five pounds
of turnips. Fifty loayes OF bread were
turned out at baking, and men some
times ate four and five loaves at meal.
He waited for a moment, and then, turn
ing to black boy behind him, said,

The Frontier Cavalryman.

Our frontier cavalryman in the beau
ideal Of an irregular. The irregular horse
man Of all ages was recruited from among
rowing, unintelligent classes, and had.
except IN his own peculiar province. as
plentiful lack of good as he had a super
abundance of bad qualities. Our trooper
is intelligent, and trained in the hardest
Of schools. Few civilians, who find it so
easy to criticise the operations of the
army in the West, would make much of
success in hunting band of few hun
dred Indians in pathless Wilderness, or
waterless desert bigger than New
York and New England combined. And
yet, thus handicapped, what splendid
work our cavalry has done! While one
civil department Of the Government has
for years been busy sowing the seeds of
strife, and furnishing the red man arms
OF precision, the best of cartridges and
plenty of them, how ably our handful of
bluecoats, under orders of another, have
managed to quell the Indian uprisings
A force OF $4,000 men constantly on foot
would have been none too great to do
justice to our Indian problem since the
war; the actual force has been less that a
third of this number. Let whose is
tempted to criticise the army make him
self familiar with some of the deeds of
heroism Of the past twenty years by our
soldiers on the plains. Criticism blenches
before their recital. But the soldier is no
boaster. You must seek his story from
other lips than his.-Colonel T. A, Dodge.

Now York Newspaners.

The big noise made over the Tribune s
anniversary is apt to mislead the younger
and less informed of US, says the Netr0p-
olis. The Tribune is not the oldest news
paper in New York, by a LONG ways. In
deed, it is among the younger, venerable
as it seems in years, and sedate though
its bearing be. OF the papers now printed
in New York the Commercial AiuertiseT
is the oldest. 1t was founded in 1877, and
is, therefore, rapidly nearing it's centen-
nial. The EUening Post comes next,
dating from 1901. The Journal of Com
n,erce was started in 1927, and the Courier
deS Etdts Unis year later, in 1923. The
.St5n, which shines for all with remarka-
bic brilliancy, first rose upon the literary
horizon in 1883. The Stats Zeitatao is
but one year younger than the san, hav-
ing come into existence in 1884. One
year after the Stats Zeitung and two
years after the Sun, the Herald was
brought forth by the elder Bennett, and
has always had James Gordon Bennett
at its helm. Horace Greeley founded the
Tribune in 1S41-the days of hard cider.
log cabins, and Tippecanoe and Tyler,
too. The old EUening Express - now
merged into the Mat and Erpress-was
started in 1916. The Times made its bow
to the public, under. the editorial conduct
of the late Henry j. Raymond, in 1851.
The World was launched in 1860, and had
stormy and dubious time of it for a
quarter of century until it fell into the
hands of It's present proprietors.

A Famous Spring.

The London Times gives this curious
account of a celebrated water: "Herr
George KreuZberg, who lived at Ahrwei-
Ter, had vineyard on the left bank of
the River Abr, at short distance from
the Village of Neuenahr. He noticed that
the vines would not flourish on partic-
ular spot, and he learned that carbonic
acid gas issued from the ground there.
An eminent geologist, Professor Bishof
of Bonn, was consulted as to whether
anything could be done in the matter,
and he suggested that search should be
made for mineral spring, which might
prove quite as remunerative as the most
productive vines that the earth could pro-
duce. Accordingly well was sunk, and
at the depth of forty feet spring was
reached which rose to the surface with
the force and effect of a small Icelandic
geyser. This occurred in 1851. The
Apollinariskirche is not far distant from
the spring which was named after it.
Chemical analysis showed close resem-
blance between the Apollinaris Spring
and those of Settlers and Ems, while in
one respect it differed from any one OF
those which were in high repute. This
consisted in its containing such an extra
ordinary proportion of carbonic acid as to
cause the water to boil upward as if it had
been forced from below under steam
pressure. The volume of gas is so great
that it is dangerous to approach the spring
on a MINDLESS day. More than one fatal
accident has been caused by approaching
the spring and inhaling the gas. AT the
outset it was found difficult to bottle the
water. However, means was devised
for doing so.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing E. E. Vance's new comedy drama
and spectacular play will be presented.
1t is essentially a railroad play, and is
notable rather for realistic scenes and
startling situations, than for literary finish
or originality of plot. The press notices
of the East are agreed that it's mechani-
cal effects are very superior, and wholly
new. One of these is a train of cars a
100 feet long that crosses the stage in six
seconds. Another is the sending Of a
message from the top of telegraph pole,
accompanied by novel electrical effect.
Still another is a sawmill effect, and yet
another is the wrecking of train. 1t
requires two cars TO carry the machinery
and scenery of the play. The company
is represented as thoroughly competent
The Eastern press notices are warmly
commendatory of the play and it's novel
effects and mechanism. The piece has
had fine success throughout the East
In the troup presenting it are Florence J.
Bindley, soubrette of promise, and
Master Harry Blaney, child actor of
remarkable precocity.
AT the Metropolitan Theater Monday
and Tuesday evenings next Katie En-
NETT will appear in her play, 1.-THE
Waits of New York." in which a fire
scene, with a steam fire engine and
a bridge burning scene are two sensa-
tional novelties. Katie Emmett is lead
ing soubrette who has won much favor.
For the past few years she has essayed
boys parts upon the stage almost entirely,
and as Willie Rufus, bright, fearless
newsboy, she has given the public a
strong piece of character acting 1.-The
Waits of New York" is represented as
one of the strong plays before the public
1t tells a simple, touching story of the
trials and sufferings of two friendless and
homeless waits cast adrift upon the cold
charity of the world in the great metrop-
oils, and of their subsequent rise to pros
perity. The play teaches a good lesson
The play Isl melodrama, but with viens of
humor and flashes of wit. The Denver
papers speak of it as of stereotyped
order, but as made specially attractive by
Miss Emmetts fine character acting and
the sensational scenes introduced. The

WASHINGTON, June e18.-Secretary Fos-
ter, in his speech written for delivery at
the Ohio Republican State Convention,
paid particular attention to the silver
question, and made special point in re-
gard to coinage, calling attention to the
fact that after July 1st it will be discre-
tionary with the Secretary ofthe Treasury
whether silver coinage will continue or
not A great many suggestions have been
offered the Secretary on this, indicating
the sentiment against suspending silver
coinage, and it is within the range of
probability that coinage win continue
