A Specific Against the Blues.
 From Harper's Bazar,1

If a remedy for the blues could be offered the public of the efficacy claim ed for a quack medicine to cure all
 the ills that 'beset mankind, fortune
 would surely await the patentee. But of several receipts given by persons of different sorts and conditions, it may be possible to choose one to suit ones own case.

TWO CITY HALL MEETINGS
VARIOUS RAILROID MATTERS CON-
 sIDERED BY CITY FATHERS.

Residents of Derby Avenue Want More
 Freque Car scrvice-Tscy Want . Six
 Minute schedule on the FaIr Haven and
 Westville Road-Othor Matters.
 The meeting of the committee on rail- roads and bridges last evening was un- usually interesting and spicy. But two members of the committee. Alderman Doughan and Councilman Belden. were present. The business in hand was the consideration of petition from William James and six others requesting that the Fair Haven and westville Railroad company be compelled to live up to an alleged agreement In reference to the running of its cars on West Chapel street and Derby avenue, or else be compelled to remove It's tracks.
 The railroad company was represent ed by President Parmelee and Superin- tendent Graham. Among those present who favored the petition were William James, James Clark, Claudius H. Post, George K. Mead, Linus Mead, Charles w. Brophy, F. L. Mead. P A. Perry, G. F. Cartwright, William Granger and George S. Reynolds. These all claimed that Derby avenue was in a wretched condition since the railroad company had laid its tracks through that thor oughfare.
 It was also set forth that the railroad company had not been operating its cars through the street until Monday of this week. It was also claimed that the agreement made by the company when it was given permission by the city to electrically equip its line pro- vided that cars should be run over the Derby avenue branch as far out as Ellsworth avenue every six minutes be- tween 6:30 a. m. and p. m., beginning May 1, 1894.
 President Parmelee claimed that in so far as he knew no such agreement existed, but that if it could be produced, certainly the road would live up to it's conditions. He also said that while the court of common council might have the power to regulate the speed of cleo tric cars, he doubted whether that body had any control over the question as to what schedule the cars should be run on, and he should like to see the matter tested.
 Finally after considerable further dis cussion, much of which was decidedly spicy, the meeting adjourned owing to the fact that no quorum was present and the committee did not have at the meeting last night a copy of the agree ment which. it is alleged, was made be- tween the officials of the railroad com pany and the city.
 The representatives of the several railroad companies also met with the members of the board of public works last evening for the purpose of entering into some agreement in reference to keeping the streets of the city clear of snow during the winter. A form of agreement had been prepared and was informally discussed, but no decisive action was taken.

The Trick of the Two Type-Thumpers.

A prominent lawyer thought he had discov-
cred wonderful instance OF thought
transference the other day, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. He has two typewriter oper-
ators. One works in his private office and
the other has desk in the adjoining room
OF late he has been puzzled upon giving in
Structlons to his private stenog rapher, to be
delivered to the other typewriter, to find that
she never quit the room, yet the girl in the
next room would always execute the order
just as If she had been told explicitly what
was required. The attorney for a long time
has been trying to account for this seeming
telepathic communication between the two
young ladies.
Yesterday he thought he would
make test OF the matter, and calling his
stenographer he said; Il want you 10 take
down this article Of agreement and give It to
Miss Blank to transcribe.' He then dictated
lengthy and technical document. trying to
make 1t as dlhcult as possible. The stenog-
rapher took 1t down and then went to her ma
chine and began operating it. The attorney
watched her closely and saw that she never
stopped her work He waited for a half hour
then he turned to his typewriter and said:
Miss Soand So, 1 think you have forgotten
to give Miss Blank that dictation L gave you
for her"
"Oh, no." replied the young lady. "Miss
Blank has it finished and waiting for you out
there"
This nonplussed the attorney. He was sure
his private stenographer had not left the
room, and did not see how it could be possible
for such con piicated agreement to be trans.
ferred by Geographic communication He
went out to Miss Blank, who handed him the
agreement completed The attorney eould.not
contain himself any longer. as he said:
Miss Blank, have been Noticing some
thing strange for the past month. WIN you
tell me how you receive my instructions from
Miss So-and-So without her leaving my room (?
Here you have transcribed very diffeult
d1ctation, and am sure you have had no com
munication with her.
The young lady began 10 smile and said;
" Mr. ----, you should not be so sure that we
nave had no communication. We can CON
verse with each other when the door is open
just as well as il we were in the same room.
No! 1t is not thought transference but plain
teegraphy. You see Miss So-and-So and
have learned telegraphy recently and we
practice in this way. We found the space
bars of our typewriters make perfect tele-
graph keys. so that we can send messages
Just as well as with regular telegraph in
strument So it's not so mysterious after
all"
The young lady showed her employer the
manner OF sending message. and he began
to think how easily some mysterious incidents
could be explained If we only knew the truth
