son for making the reduction. Yet IL is
quite likely that the partially parallel lines
recently started have seriously affected the
company's receipts.
The policy OF competition is as disastrous to
one and sometimes both OF the competitors as
it IS TO the public. And these competitors
procure their charters and lay their lines very
often, il not generally, with dire-r reference
to this fact. These plans are not for public
convenience, but private gain. II they can so
lay their tracks as 10 tap the road OF their
rival and build up their traffic at the expense
of the other fellow, that is business.
The city ought to manage this whole business
of transportation for itself, lay out its roads
with reference to the needs of the public and
either gyeits citizens travel at cost or make
the roads sources OF revenue TO tie municipal

moss PLATr UNDER FIRE.

Ex-senator Platt is moved to the use of
language whenever he tries to imagine what
the committee of seventy think about him.

Senator Hill has reached Washington and
been welcomed by Popuists. Republicans and
Democrats. Therefore there are two Mr.. Hills
in public life, one ofwhich is the man rejected
by $50. 600 majority as candidate for Gov

the worst men, politically. that our country
ever produced, and the other, D. B. Hill,
hardly reaches Washington before Senators of
all kinds OF politics are bowing before him.
The men who have been deuouncing him so
fiercely and unqualifledly as an enemy to the

The NEW CHURCH.

The congregation will have a new church
to worship in after the first of February The
chapel Tor some years has been too crowded,
and work on the church proper began In the
early summer. The building is now being
rooted in, and though the contract called for
its completion iniJanuary, the work will not
be done until some lime in February, under
the most favorable conditions. The west
wall of the old chapel forms the east wall of
the new building. and will be cut away so as
to form communication between the old and
new edifices, which will be shut off by means
OF glass paneled doors when extra space is
not required. The floor will be sloped from
the vestibule to the chancel and the only
thing to intercept the view will be the pillars
leading to the lantern. The hew building
will seat about 1,001 people, and the pews
will be divided by a center and two side
aisies. The church will cost about $50 900,
and the building committee having IT in
charge is composed OF Messrs. Mordecai t.

Senator Call, of Florida, fears neither en-
tangling alliances nor "a vigorous foreign
policy" for he has introduced resolutions for
a joint intervention for the settlement of the
China-Japanese war and for the establish
ment of the independence of Cuba. fore

resolution may have occasioned the sudden
burst OF Spanish patriotism in the Cortes the
other day, when the premier declared that
under no consideratio ion would Spain consent
to part with Cuba.-Boston Transcript.

was central Office detective, that the two
young gentlemen were' high class sneak
thieves who once made luxurious living
by robbing steamship cabins. Their meth
cd of working was to go aboard like pas

saunter down into the saloon, dodge from
there into the unlocked stateroom, fill
their travel stained valises with such little
things as silver topped toilet articles, bou-
quet holders, and jewelry as they could
find. They were not above taking an ex-
ira nice overcoat or steamer rug now and
then, either.
Just as the go-ashore bell would ring
they would back down the gangplank,
waving goodbys to an imaginary friend,
and then dispose of the spoils. The steam
ship men finally caught ON to the little
scheme, and now they have detectives sta
toned at their piers every sailing day

A President Shooting.

During the civil war an order was issued
forbidding he discharge of firearms within
the limits of Washington. All sorts of
magazine and breech loading rifles had
been sent to the White House for the prcsi-
dents inspection. He had studied them,
and one afternoon he said to Mr.. Stoddard,
one Of his private secretaries:
"They say you're pretty good marks.
man. At half past tomorrow morning
we'll 90 out On the mall and try some OF
these guns"
In the morning the president said to his
secretary, who tells this story, "You take
that thing and I'll take this, and we'll &c
right along"
THAT thing" was an old Springfield
musket, filled with cartridge chamber
that went on and came of with a screw
twist Mr.. Lincoln selected Spencer rifle
The secretary fired and made good shot
though the Springfield kicked him Presi
dent Lincoln crouched, that he might hold
his Spencer with an elbow resting on his
knee, and squinted along the blue barrel
A short sergeant and four or five men on
guard duty, hearing the firing, had run up
to the two marksnsn.
"Stop that firing Stop that firingr'
exclaimed the sergeant.
Bang went the rife, and the Presidents
tall, gaunt form shot up to its height lie

recognizing him, stood still, and was silent
Then the squad, without uttering word

"Well, they might have staid and seen
the shooting" said the President, with q

Lemons, oranges, champagne these
are recommended, but the best recon-
mendation, the most practical and com
mon sense, is to let the seasickness have
its way, and then you are over with it.
You can modify any possible attack by a
little care rs to diet day or two before
sailing by avoiding greasy and rich foods,
and this is wise. But don't go on board
with the settled idea that you are going to
be sick. Dismiss the thought. Keep on
your feet the first day out. Walk up and
down the deck continuously. By this
method you get accustomed to the motion
of the ship, tire yourself out, and, if you
are any sort of n sleeper, you will sleep
soundly the first night. Then the worst is
over.
But if not, and you do get sick, just ac,
cept it philosophically. OF course you will
feel miserable, but let the spell run its
course and it is done; and you are better
for it, and certainly wiser than to try and
cure it by mixture of things, which only
give the stomach reason for continu
ance of proceedings. One of the leading
medical authorities in the world says that
fifteen grains Of sulphate of quinine, ad
ministercd two hours or four hours at the
most before embarking, will completely
free even sensitive subjects from the hor
rors of fseasickness.-La Home Journal

1t is related of dissenting minister that
he started church in rural district, but
his congregation being incorrigible snorers,
and, what he considered worse, mean con-
tributors to the cause, he was soon Obliged
to abandon it. His farewell sermon to the
lukewarm brethren was characterized by
more heat than eloquence. He ended thus;
AT the last day the Lord will say unto
Peter, Where Is your lockP' and st. Pc
ter will answer, Here, Lord He will say
to Calvin, And where are your sheepY and
Calvin will reply, Here, Lord And so all
the shepherds can answer. But when he
asks me, Where are your shecpP how will

Ink Warranted to Fade.

One of the novelties in the stationery
line is an ink that is guaranteed to fade
within a week after it has been put upon
paper. The inventor says he expects to
make great deal of money out of his in
vention in short time.
"Just imagine, if you can," he said to
me, what demand there will be fer my
ink among corresponding lovers. The
young man can write words that almost
scorch holes in the paper and ignite the
mails, but they will fade out of sight in
side of week, leaving nothing but white
paper behind it.
"By the use of my ink, he continued,
"there will be no more letters introduced
as evidence in breach of promise cases, and
forgers will enjoy immunity from punish
ment. think it will have great sale,
don't YOU" and he wrung his hands in
joy as the visions of prospective wealth
danced before his eyes.--New York Herald.
