Al the test it was demonstrated that
the system will give timely alarm to
the engineer Of moving train when
approaching q standing or moving car
or locomotive on the same track, and
OF an occupied grade crossing, an open
switch or drawbmdge, or a car pro-
jecting from side track over a main
track. 1t was also claimed that in
case of such q wreck that connection
otherwise is broken, an alarm may be
given to an approaching train by SIM
ply making any kind of electrical con-
nection between the rails, as by an iron
bar or piece of wire. In fact, so the
experts present at the test said, the
device could be made to apply to almost
any conceivable cause of accident.
With electricity moving the trains
and guarding them against accident
travel by rail will be even more pleas
ant and more safe than it has been.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

1t appears that the New Woman of
the old world can give the New Woman
of the new world points. The other day
we called attention to the astonishing
though theatrical progress of the New
Scandinavian Woman. To-day we call
attention to the still more astonishing
progress made by the New Woman of
Galicia. The following petition has
been sent to Emperor Francis Joseph
Of Austria: "Sire-We women Of Cali
cha, PROSTATE at the foot Of the throne,
present this, our ardent request. At
present, whereas every man. young or
old, is liable to military service, we wo-
men, often more robust than effeminate
man, think we ought not to be exclud-
ed. The arms now in use are we'll made
and easy to handle We, therefore, pray
your majesty to institute corps of
Amazon volunteers
This is a very significant incident
1t is urged by the detractors of Woman
and by those who are honestly afraid
that she has bitten off more than she
can chew that she will have to stop
short when she runs up against that
manifest of manly duties-fighting and
bleeding and dying on the battle field.
But here are women of Galicia who are
not showing any disposition to shirk
that duty, and are actually clamoring
for an opportunity to do it. They may
be allowed to become soldiers, and IL
they are not it will probably not be
long before female soldiers will he seen
in other lands than Africa. They will,
we doubt not, be good fighters. And
they will probably not care much more
about fine uniforms than male soldiers
do. What curious thing it will be if
the progress of the New Woman brings
about a condition Of things like that in
the old days when there We're Amazons
who could take care Of themselves and
of anybody else who took notion to
tread on the tails of their tunics. And
how splendid will be the progress that
brings back to the world those good
old times.

The Dream shin.

When the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies
AS though it were a wandering cloud
The ghostly dream ship flies.
An angel stands at the dream ships
helm,
An angel stahds at the PROV,
And an angel stands at the dream
ships side
With rue-wreath on her brow.
The other angels, silver-crowned
Pilot and helmsman are,
And the angel with the wreath Of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams, they fall on rich and poor,
They fall on young and DID,
And some are dreams of poverty,
And some are dreams of gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with
joy,
And some that melt to tears:
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some of the old dead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old,
Bringing to slumbering earth their joys
And sorrows manifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall be beggarman-
The pauper be a king
In that revenge of recompense
The dream ship dreams to bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there is never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies
AS though it were a cloud astray-
The ghostly dream ship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with a wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams affair.

nal.

from Harpers Round Tablet
The old proverb says that time was
made for slaves, 1t is certainly true
that it was not made for Alsacians, if
the following story told by a traveller
lately returned from Alsace be true.
Says he; ION my return from Belchen,
/ looked upon the beautiful village of
the Lewen Valley, and being a tourist
who likes to poke his nose into every
thing, I turned, by chance, into the
church at Kirchbelg. On coming out
took out my watch to regulate it by the
clock in the church tower, But there
was no clock to be seen. Hence went
into the village inn, and there asked the
time. But my host could not oblige me
I can't tell you exactly, for, you see,' he
said, we have no use for clocks. In the
morning we go by the smoke rising
from the chimney at the parsonage up
on the hill. The parsonage people are
very regular. We dine when dinner is
ready. AT ZIP. m. the whistle Of the
train coming from Westminster tells
us that the time has come for another
meal, and at night we know that it is
time to go to bed when it is dark On
Sunday we go to church. when the bell
rings. Our parson is a very easy-going
man, and he doesn't mind beginning
half an hour sooner or later"

TIVE EIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY

THE FIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY.
There are several interesting contests
that will be decided by to-day's voting,
but none so interesting as that be-
tween Tammany, the Fusioniste, the
Goo Coos, the Hoodoos, and the other
COS that are ostensibly bucklng the
tiger. There is no telling what is going
to happen. Tammany is fighting for
life and has apparently partially re-
covered from its recent shattering, Its
blowers and buffers are making their
usual claims on the eve of the election
and they say they are bound to win.
Many shrewd politicians think their
claims are justified. The idea is that
the vote Of the small storekeepers, es-
pecially on the east side of the city,
and that of the German-American vot-
ers, who, as a rule, are opposed to the
excise law, will carry Tammany
through.
The Fusionists are not inferior to
the Tammany men in claiming. They
say that their ticket will win by 100000.
The Goo Coos don't expect to win, but
they do expect to poll $4,000 votes, which
will help somebody else win. Whether
or not their action will greatly help the
cause of good government which they
have protested to serve appears doubt
full
The betting is on Tammany. 1t seems
impossible that after what has happen
ed during the last year the people of
New York should be willing to put them
selves again into the tigers clutches.
If they are they deserve what they will
get,

A dainty and simple costume for a
youthful bridesmaid is portrayed here,
and is in white taffeta. It's blouse
has fitted lining that closes in the CEN
ter, while the silk LAPS over to fasten at
the side. 1t has a short pleated basque
sewed to the belt, and full front and
sides, the back being of bias silk Belt,
collar and bretelles are white Dresden
ribbon, with big bows Of the same at
the shoulders. The hat to be worn is a
white felt trimmed with big bow Of
the Dresden ribbon and with tiny pale
blue tips around the crown.
The spreading loops at the belt are
being exaggerated ridiculously, and
now little wing-like affairs are shown
that spread at the waist almost as wide
as the tips of the sleeves, and that is
saying much. Quite different sort of
belt is two hands wide ana made of silk
elastic. Not only does the material of
the belt tend to a. perfect fit, but the
belt is woven slightly to shape. The
fastening, also, is such that the belt
can be frightened after the buckle is
fast. Nothing could bring about a more
perfect clinging to the figure, and a
waist that has not just the right set is
reduced to perfect lines at once when
such a belt is worn; that is, if the cor
sets beneath are all right.

ANorHER ELECTRIC WONDER

The faster railroad trains go the more
necessary is some advice that will less
en- the danger Of accident. The visual
signals, though hardly less than mar
velous in their operation, are not in
fallible. The vast majority of them de-
pend for their correctness upon. human
operation. The signalman may fail at
crisis, or the engineer. busted with
other things, may not see the signal,
or, seeing it, may not interpret it cor
rectly. Then, too, fog or storm may
interfere with the operation of the ap-
paratus. All these possible defects
have directed the attention of inventors
towards the devising Of an audible
block-signal system. One Of these de-
vices has recently been tested on a
western railroad. and to the satisfac-
ton, it is reported, of interested rail
road men. It is an electrical arrange
ment, whereby, when danger threatens,
a bell rings loudly in the engine cab.
