Wide Tires Save the Horsea

The following wide tire test wa, made at the Ohio state university. AZ ordinary wagon with a new inch tire was loaded with two long tons, or {, 4sc pounds. and tho draft was measured by a dynamometer. On an ordinary earth road in good condition and hard the draft was 254 pounds. On a grass field it was 46S pounds. On newly plowed land 1t was I'll pounds As the draft power of an ordinary horse of 1,0O0 pounds is 150 pounds. two horses could draw this load with ease on an ordinary road and ton and half on grass sod, while with a narrow tire half as much. or a single ton. is full load for dou. ble team.

ent stations along the route. As each station is reached it receives Its mail just ns cnch town along the line of a railroad gets its consignment from the clerks in an ordinary postal mail car.
 As Brooklyn has circumference of about 30 miles and n population of nearly 1, 1000, GOO, and as much time is saved citizens of the outlying districts by having the distribution of mail done in the cars instead of at the general postoffice, it is believed the postal trol- ley car will be such a success that it will be initiated in other large cities of the country. On the return trip the car collects mail matter from the different branch stations and leaves 1t at the gen. eral postoffice. Two of the cars arc now in use They arc run, lighted and even heated by electricity and were built at Q cost of $1, 900 each.
 St Louis was the first city to utilize the postal trolley car, and the credit for the idea seems to belong to Major John B. Harlow, postmaster of St Louis. Last year he rigged up a small freight car, placed 1t on tho St Louis and Sub urban Electric railroad, and the resi- dents of the suburbs hailed him as Q public benefactor.

THE eyieted tenants bill, which pro- vided for the restoration of evicted Irish tenants to their holdings on certain condi- tions, has shared the fate of the home rule hill in the house of lords. This bill more than any other measure before parliament, represented the demands of United Ire land against the English system of rule in that country. but the lords do not seem to be concerned about that fact any more than the United States senate is about tariff reform.

 Meanwhile he had become eminent in politics and had reorganised the Conser- vative party at the request of DlsraeI- He was solicitor general in Lord Sails bury's ministry in 1885, under secretary for India ill 1886, member of parlia- ment since 1866 and secretary of the treasury under Lord Salisbury's recent regime.
 He is an ardent champion Of labor's interests in parliament and was mem- Der of the Berlin labor conference Ill 1891. He also induced Lord Salisbury after the conclusion of the Berlin con- ference to appoint royal commission on labor, and his opinions dominated the deliberations of that body. Sir John has divided the labor questions of the day into classes-those ripe for legisla- ton and those which need the further judgment of public opinion. The former Sir John urges legislation upon; the lat ter he endeavors to bring to public at tention with the view to having re- forms made and abuses corrected. In his investigations Sir John loses no time in getting down to bedrock. He | is no theorist All his conclusions are formed after a close personal study of | existing conditions. Not long ago he | became 0 resident of Toynbee Hall, in the Whitechapel district of London. and for three months went about tho slums with John Burns. General Booth of the

The memory of the scandal that attended the relations of these parties ought to die out as soon as possible on both sides. Kentuckians are showing good taste in doing their share to secure this desirable end. The public will do we'll to refuse to give support to the efforts at notoriety of the other party to this un- savory affair. It is not at all probable that Miss Pollard has any claims to be a good actress. ard the enterprise that in trudes her upon the public is no credit to the theatre, and should be discounte- | Eanced by theatre audiences.
