Running with a Human Trolley.

The novel sight of a man taking the
place of tho trolley on an electric car
was seen last night ON the Lake Roland
elevated railway. The trolley on one of
the large electric cars in crossing Lex
ington street at North street had its
trolley wheel caught in the wire, and the
entire trolley apparatus was torn of,
falling to the street. The accident hap
pened at a time when travel over the
road was heavy, and it was necessary to
prevent a blockade.
Lineman William Scott was equal to
the occasion. He procured piece of in
sulated wire, and after stripping each
end of the insulating material connected
one end through the car roof and standing
on the top of the car held the other end
against the trolley wire. A connection
being thus made the car was run over
the elevated structure to the car barn at
Walbrook without accident to Mr.. Scott
or delay to the other cars. Mr.. SCOTS
position was a novel one and startled
persons who are unused to electricity as
he stood on the top of the car amid myr-
lads of sparks and illuminated by light
ninglike flashes from the trolley wire

A Mourning Widower,

The subjoined card is printed as an
advertisement in British colonial news
paper:
Benjamin Jowett Phillips of Annandale begs
most sincerely to thank the good people who
so kindly contributed the numerous beautiful
flowers, wreaths and crosses, on the occasion
of the funeral of his late dear wife, to say moth
ing OF the equally beautiful letters of sympa-
thy, especially one, and that of Christian
minister. Mr.. B. J. p, felt particularly hon
ored by noticing in the procession three of the
clergy, other two being unable to attend by
reason of indisposition. Ee (Mr. Phillips also
begs to thank the organist and choir of Palmer
Street church, with whom the deceased was
associated from infancy, for their kindly fore
thought in rendering so sweetly two of her ia
vorite hymns-viz, ''One Sweetly Solemn
Thought" ETC., and Thou Knowest, Lord, /"

Speed on the Great Lakes.

The first of the new passenger carry
ing whalebacks for the lakes has made q
speed of % miles an hour in trial trip
on Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to
Chicago. This is a very high rate of
speed, and the Christopher Columbus
deserves to be called the greyhound of
the lakes for a time at least. 1t is far
above any rate yet attained by any
steamship on them. 1t would be regard
ed as high rate for the swiftest of the
ocean liners on the Atlantic. The con-
structors of this whaleback promise that
while traversing the lakes she will make
1000 miles within so hours, in which
case the Cramps of Philadelphia will
have to look out for their laurels as they
hurry up the building of the new At
lantic steamships for the American line
The Campania has a good record, but
she cannot afford to lower it in the face
of the Christopher Columbus.
A short time ago we gave an account
of some of the whalebacks and other
steamers that have been launched or are
on the stocks at the lake ports. They
are not far from the first class in mate
rial, mechanism and fitting up. We are
proud of thsm. They are needed for the
immense commerce and for the travel
between the cities of the five great lakes
which were spoken of in old times as
western lakes, but which are in the east
ern half Of the territory of the United
States. They constitute the lake system
of the east. not of the west.-New York

The Oueen Receives n Pie.

In accordance with an ancient custom,
Queen Victoria has been presented with
lamprey pie. 1t was an elaborate af-
fair and was presented by the mayor,
Mr.. Matthews. He signifed his inten-
ton of giving it, and the queen, through
the lord high steward of Gloucester, in
timated that she would be happy to re-
ceive it. Consequently the pie came, &C
companied by two silver skewers bear
ing the arms of the city and the name of

some words to a Preacher.

God himself cannot mako q world in which
the saurian exists side by side with man. Sau-
rians are the best possible forms of life at one
stage, yet impossible at the next-Baccalau-
reate Sermon of Rev. DR.. Rainsford of New
York Before the Harvard Graduating Glass,
June Is.
Here is an error. For man can exist
side by size with the saurian, and there is
scientific ground for believing that he
was a contemporary of saurians which
became extinct ages upon ages ago.
What we chiefly desire to say at this
moment, however, is that we object to
the habit in which many preachers, in
Guiding DR.. Eainsford, indulge of telling
their hearers that "God himself cannot"
do something or other. There is no NOR
tai who knows of the divine power or
who can form any conception of it. It
is infinite and eternal, words which are
beyond the comprehension of the human
intellect. By looking through a tele-
scope Dr. Rainsford may behold some of
the works of God which he cannot COM
pass with reason or imagination, and he
need not look beyond the earth upon
which he treads to behold others more
than can be numbered. But even with
those instruments that search the heav-
ems and the earth man can form no idea,
gain no knowledge of the divine power.
1t was Zophar, the Naamathite, who,
in ancient times, put to Job that solemn
question, "Canst thou by searching find
out God?" And again: High as heaven,
what canst thou do? Deeper than hell,
what canst thou know? Vain man would
be wise, though he be born like wild
ass colt"
We regard it as irreverent in the ex-
IRENE for any man to say, God cannot. {"
The words are blasphemous.-New York
Sun.

The Cadmus of the Cherokees,

George Guess, to whom monument
is soon to be erected in Indian Territory,
was the Cadmus Of the Cherokees, SO to
speak, for he invented an alphabet for
their use, and in that way distinguished
them above other American Indians.
Guess was half breed, the son of a
Cherokee mother and an English father,
and was so years old when in 1920 he
devised this famous alphabet. He lived
to regret the invention, for he was an
unbeliever, and the only work of conse-
quence printed in Cherokee with the new
alphabet was the Bible.-San Francisco

A RUMOR SETTLED.
Some Said That ii Could Net
Be Done.
All Waited With Deep Interest
and lreathless Anxiety.
Proved a Mighty and Invincible
COnquerOr at Last.

A iumor had gained circulation that
the well-known Edward T. Feron. ESQ,
of 507 East 81 ST., New York city. was
utterly broken down in health, had be-
come unable to attend to his duties. and
was really in condition beyond cure.
Over twenty doctors had examined
aud treated his case, and all were forced
to give up and acknowledge that his
case was beyond their skill.
Then the remark was made that here
was test case for tie great and popular
medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. 1t is, of course, a
widely known fact that this wonderful
remedy rarely if ever fails to cure, but
could even its marvellous curative pow
ers restore health in this most serious
case?
The Nervura was used and everybody
watched its effects with deep interest
and almost breathless anxiety.
We will give Mr.. Ferons own version
of the affair.
"For five years." he said, 81 have
been running down, gradually losing
my health and strength; at last got
very bad and was troubled with pains in
my back and around my heart.

There is every indication that deficit
in the United States treasury of $4,000

ceipts the aggregate receipts for the cur
rent fiscal year will be $3.50, 900. 900. The
rate of expenditures for the past two
months, if continued through the year,
will amount to S426,000,0 900. If this ra-
ito were kept up the deficit at the bal
