Running With a Human Trolley.

The novel sight Of man taking the
place of the 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 off,
falling to the street. The accident hap
pened at a time when travel over the
road was heavy, and it was necessary to
prevent 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 CT sparks and illuminated by light
ninglike flashes from the trolley WIRE

Speed on tho Great Lakes.

The first OF the new passenger carry
ing whalebacks for the lakes has made a
speed of % miles an hour in trial trip
on Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to
Chicago. This is very high rate of
speed, and the Christopher Columbus
deserves to be called the greyhound of
the lakes for time at least. It 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-
etructors OF this whal= back promise that
while traversing the lakes she viii make
1000 miles within 30 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 them. 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

They went by the all rail route to Jacksonville. They are enjoying themselves, and speak of the sights and scenes with zest and satisfaction, and especially of the orange groves, where the trees are laden down with luscious, tempting fruit. They found delightful weather, the thermometer standing at about 70 in the shade, with 6 fine bree ze blowing Some of the party had, almost to begin with, a delightful sail with MT. E. A. Chatfield of this city in his fine naph- tha launch on the beautiful Indian river, and were so pleased that they were invited to prepare to take another sail at an early day. MT. Chatfeld took the gentlemen off on an oystering trip last Monday. They all find Rock Ledge delightful place; in fact, it is regarded by all visitors there as one of the most charming of Florida's re- sorts.

Disease, like train, acquires momentum.
 One can't attend too early to the signs of nervous debility. Habits are creases in the body often made as thoughtlessly as the folds in an old newspaper. Every time you double up under the pain of rheuma, tism or dyspepsia or neuralgia you deepen very bad habit.
 Grasp your illess by the forelock, drag it from it's hiding place, and it loses half its terror.
 One of the most popular passenger agents in the United States, as well as one of the ablest, is MT. M. B. Tooker of the Grand Trunk railroad. His home is at Suspension Bridge, N Y.
 Mir. Tooker, whose portrait is printed here, is known everywhere az man of great energy and pueh. His advice has al- ways gone long way in railroad matters, and he is possessed of these rare qualities which make him good friend and advisor in everyday matters of fe.
