Railroad Ticket.
San Francisco Chronicle
The ingenuity of San Franciscan
is responsible for marvellous piece
of mechanism, by which ones phiz
may be transferred to cardboard al
most as quick as thought. It's ere
alton grew out of the practice of
''scalping" railway tickets This
business has assumed such proper
lions as to prompt railway officials
of the large lines to offer a con-
siderable bonus to any one devising
a plan or perfecting a method to
stop it.
About two years ago julius Greg
Dry, an apprentice in a local ma
chine shop, undertook the construc-
ton of an apparatus, which, with
simple Photographic adjunct, would
make possible the feat of transfer
ring to an ordinary railway ticket
the portrait of each purchaser while
he is paying the clerk for his trans
portation.
Success attended his efforts-that
is, so far as the simple mechanism
is concerned. 1t remained for Frank
Davey, of the Taber Photographic
company, to perfect the machine.
This required series of baths for
developing solutions. an arrange
ment to insure proper dimensions of
the ticket in the baths, and a novel
fash-light attachment. In preparing
the ticket some difficulty was eX-
perienced in securing material Suffi-
GENTLY senSitiZed to receive an in
telligible impression with the neces-
sarily brief exposure, the Eastern
manufacturers declaring it to be i'm
possible.
Mr.. Davey, however, was persist
ent, and by following his directions
the desired paper was secured. The
tickets used must be of a special
manufacture, two inches of the end
of each being of sensitized material,
which must be kept in a light-proof
paper case.
A purchaser presents himself at
the window and asks for ticket.
The sensitized end, with its paper
covering, is slipped into frame.
The whole is then inserted in the
slot at the top of the machine. The
operator presses spring, a percus-
sion cap explodes, igniting flash
light, the lens uncovers, shutting al
most instantaneously, and in the
twinkling of an eye the picture is

A REAL TRiLBY

Thrilled Paris With Her Sweet
Voice and Suddenly Disap-1
peared.
Here is an interesting extract from
a Paris letter:
Once and once only was it given
to Paris to be puzzled by a street
singer. The apparition only lasted
three months, but while it lasted it
was most perplexing to US. One
evening all the loungers on the
boulevardS, who were slipping their
beer or ''strangling parrot as the
French phrase has it to describe the
process of imbibing a dose of that
subtle poison, absinthe, were mildly
bored by observing the approach of
three street musicians; one man
trundled piano, a-second carried a
violin, and a third, a tall, slight
woman in deep mourning, her crepe
veil sweeping over her face, took
up her station between them.
They paused and prepared for ac-
ton, whereupon many people, know
ing the vileness and discord of street
music, made ready to leave, when,
to the utter amazement of all, to the
accompaniment of two fairly good
instruments, arose in the night air
an exquisitely modulated and very
powerful female voice, singing with
a heart-break in every note the
wild wall of Traviata over her ap-
preaching death. "Graw, Dio, MORN
81 giovane." Perhaps the voice
gained by the surprise of the public,
perhaps it was aided by the still
ness of the sultry air, but certainly
it sounded most divine. Thunders of
applause and rain of coin, both
gold and silver, rewarded the trio's
efforts; but they never gave but
two songs per evening, and then
disappeared. The adventurous men
who followed the supple grace of the
woman's tall figure returned dis
comfited, scared away by the
truculent aspect of her two COM
panions.
During that whole summer the
strange band would reappear every
night, and every night would reap
a harvest, but when the summer de-
parted, they, too, vanished and new
er again reappeared. The Yelled
Songstress, as she was called, came
from the darkness and vanished into
the night, and who she was or where
she vanished is a mystery. Of
course the police knew, but the arch
ives of the prefecture are sacred
from the gaze of the profane; and
as that is the case, and as Paris
forgets as speedily as she adores
wildly, we had the arithmetical puz-
Zle, maud, the lightning calculator,
to distract our attention that au-
tumn in front of the cafes; so the
Yelled Songstress sank out of sight
and the waves of oblivion have
closed over her now and forever.

Eats 1t on the Quiet.

Westminster Gazette.
In Nine. Seuron's Forthcoming book
of Tolstoi anecdotes-Mme. Seuron
lived for ten years as goVernesS in the
counts house-there appears the fol-
lowing story concerning Tolstofs veg
etarianiSm.
1.-The old count demands that vege-
tartan dishes be brought to his table
for him, while his wife and the rest
of the family eat bifsteaks and other
flesh food 1t often happens that the
countess furtively puts a little white
chicken meat or a slice of goose on her
husbands plate, but he, with indig-
nant looks, pushes back the plate,
murmuring: No, 1 will not eat meat,
absolutely, I will not
But adds Nine. Seuron, 81 have
often surprised him going to the side
board for a, piece of rosbif, which the
evening before, at table, he had SOL
EMMY refused. The carnivorous in
stinct was reawakened, and the enor-
nous piece of meat was swallowed in
one bite by this apostle of vegetarian

as to the character and consequences of
sin; they do not believe that He that
Soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh
reap corruption One of the most Sc
rious questions of the present day is
the non-enforcernent of law, but how
little is said about it. There is no
more serious question confronting us
today than the saloon question, yet
how little we hear of it. There Is a
disposition in commercial circles to try
and teach our young men that the way
to make money is to go into gambling
speculations, trying to persuade men to
invest money on the board of trade In
wheat that never has been raised and
never will be, is legitimate business,
trying to persuade men that buying OPP
items is not bare-faced gambling. Only
recently some one has advanced the
idea that one of the most crying needs
of the day is less stringent divorce
laws. If you want to destroy the home
make divorce easier. The curse of this
land and it is becoming a growing
curse, is easy divorce. So, too, these
false teachers are trying to- deceive our
Christians by telling them that these
worldly amuSementS, that are sapping
the vitality out of the spiritual life, are
harmless. This danger is all the great
er because of the tendency on our part
to receive this false instruction. Ply
sicians tell us that some persons have
a natural propensity towards certain
diseases, and humanity has propen-
sity towards evil, and so these false
teachers find us too ready to accept
their erroneous views. This is pre-
ty dark picture of life, but it is true
one. Look around you and see how
many are going down; see your own
mistakes and failures, entanglements
and shortcomings.
The question arises, can anything be
done? Yes, God has not left us,in the
world to be the prey of .deceivers.
Something; much, can be done. God
has given us minds, rational powers
which must be cultivated for where
ignorance prevails, deception prevails.
But, it is enough to merely cultivate
the mind; man has a conscience, and if
we want to be preserved from decep-
ton, we must be true to conscience,
for in the innermost. recesses of the
soul there is a monitor which approves
right and disapproves evil. If we are
to be kept out of the bondage Of sin
and thraldom of error We must keep
close to the Bible And still more than
this, God has given US His Holy Spirit
to keep us. but in order to receive His
guidance we must live close to God
and submit ourselves in all things to
Him. The promise is: 7'Sin shall not
have domain over YOU" and out from
error, bondage, deception, failure.
weakness and disappointment we shall
come into the strength and joy and
victory that are found In obedience to
the truth. Be not deceived, but know
the truth. and the truth shall make
you free.

for burial among the scenes which
they had left short time before for
the Southern battlefields. These rel
les often proved a burdensome cost
to their bereaved families at home.
We were always glad to forward re-
mittances of money to the oftentimes
distressed ones at home. The bust
ness transacted by some of the big
expresses, Adams & Co., for instance,
was of enormous proportions, and
added largely to the wealth of many
proprietors, the terrible war proving
a Godsend to them at least.

Times SweIIed It's Proportions.
The death of Benjamin P. Cheney
the millionaire expressman, at the
advanced age of eighty-three years,
removes from active pursuits a re-
markable man who was truly the
| architect of his own fortune as he
commenced his business career at a
very early age in an obscure New
| Hampshire town, and fought his way
| up the ladder without aid of any per-
Sonal favors, says the Boston Tran
script. The express business Of to-
day is an immense interest and fac
tor in mercantile transactions of al
most incalculable proportions, and it
| is an American institution of a lit
| tie more than half a century's
| growth, yet it is not a new species
| of industry.
Mr.. Cheney had the reputation of
being one of the most skillful man
ayers Of express and railway COM
binationS that the country has pro-
duced. He had an amazing faculty
for discovering the feasibility of new
routes, and he had an intuitive per-
ception of railroad enterprises which
promised well. He began investing
in railroad stocks and was singular
ly successful every venture Yet
he was a quiet operator, SO that ev-
erybody in the business was aston
iShed at the amount of his invest
ments when they became generally
known. He was also a shrewd judge
Of real estate values, and soon be-
came a large holder of valuable in
vestments. Even his most intimate
friends knew but little of his large
transactions. He lived a bachelor
until past middle life, when he mar
ried a young lady then residing in
Dorchester
The greatest harvest reaped by
the principal express companies was
during the late War of the Rebel
lion, when everything was sent and
received by express, no matter what
the cost. The writer of this had a
varied and somewhat tedious expe-
rience in the business during that
protracted disturbance, and was wit
ness to many scenes of somber and
many of a humorous character
These were mostly seen in the re-
turns from the seat of war just after
a battle. Sometimes after a VIC
torious federal action, or the cap
ture of a rebel town, the officers, as
we'll as the men, made practice of
sending home trophies they had cap
tured These often were house,
hold effects of comparatively little
value, and cost the recipients at
home large tax for express trans
portation. Sometimes live stock
was sent, consisting largely of dogs
and donkeys, sometimes a singing
bird or fowls of peculiar breed. On
one occasion stalwart negro fell
low was received at the Boston office
sent by an officer who found he
could do nothing else with him, and
thought he might be of use on his
farm at home. The grinning darby
had card firmly fastened upon his
neck giving the address where to
land him, with this direction. Feed
and grub this niger all that he
needs" It was sad, however, to
see the rough boxes often piled up

being automatically developed. The
explosion of the flash light sets the
machinery in, operation, an elevator
draws the ticket down, leaving the
hght-tight case behind, to point
where the first bath meets it. This
bath is filled with developing solu-
ton. The first bath then gives place
to the second. AS these baths recede.
they empty into the lower tank,
where the development is completed.
The elevator then returns the ticket
to the slot, and the operator pulls it
out and presents it to the purchaser.
The whole process occupies less than
a minute. Thus the ticket is made
absolutely non-transferable. Any
form of ticket can be treated, and in
the near future Oakland commuters
will have their photographs printed
on their tickets.

CONTRACTORS WILL SIGN.
Garment Workers Will Not Re-
turn to Work Until They Do,


NEW YORK, Aug4.-The eXecu-
tive committee of the garment work.
ers' union held a meeting today to
discuss the attitude of the contract
ors as laid down by Secretary Wit
owski at the midnight conference
Saturday. Should a single contractor
decline to sign, the Brotherhood Of
Tailors will refuse to declare the
strike off, but it is believed by Tues
day all contractors will submit to
the demands of the brotherhood.
AT today's meeting the executive
committee of the garment makers
union decided to get reports from
all the shops tomorrow, and have
them read at the mass meeting in
Cooper institute tomorrow night. It
is possible that the union will de-
eide to ignore the action of Secre-
tary Witowski in making sur
render, and will prolong it's resist
ence to the strikers. Acting Chief
Conlin had a conference today with
Secretary Witowski, of the con-
tractors association. The acting
chief said that he had reason to be-
lieve on Saturday at least that $50
shops would start up for business
with non-union men, and that he was
ready to furnish the police protec-
ton which would naturally be re-
quired in such an event. He said,
however, that Secretary Witowski
had given him no assurance that
such would be the case. He said
that Mr.. Witowski told him that
some shops might open, but that they
would not be compelled to call upon
the police for protection. In the
however, the official pIa-
toon of police has been ordered to
remain on duty, as it has done for
the past few days. The acting chief
said that he had heard a rumor to
the effect that the pants makers,
as they are called, would strike, but
that he had received no confirma-
ton of the rumor and did not credit

Sauter for Judge.

Governor Allin has finally issued q
commission to o. E. Sauter, OF Grafton,
as district Judge of the new Seventh ju-
dicial district created by the last legisla-
ture, composed Ct Walsh, Pembina and
Cavalier counties. Mr. Sauter fled his
bond and took the oath at once. Mr..
Sauter's appointment was bitterly op-
posed by Jud LaMoure and J. l.. Cashel,
although the bill dividing the district
would have failed to pass had not La
Moure voted for it.
Mr.. Sauter is senior partner in the firm
OF Sauter & Frame, attorneys OF Grafton.
He has been an active supporter OF Gov
ernor Allin in Walsh county politics and
was one of his prominent supporters in
the convention at Grand Forks which
secured him the nomination.
The appointment holds until the next
general election when the law provides
for the nomination and election OF a
Judge. Judge Santer will hold the first
regular term of court at Langdon the
third Tuesday in May.
