A physician in France recently did some effective advertising without making himself amenable to the medi- cal rule forbiddirg advertising. He hired a man to announce throughout the town that he had lost valuable dog. and that any one returning it would receive a reward of 1000 francs. The lost dog was only a fgment of his imagination; but the public didn't know that, and, arguing that he must be a skilful physician to have made so much money. patients fiocked to his office.

Yesterday morning G. W. Bowman left Denver in buggy propelled by gas,
 and will attempt to reach Chicago in three days at cost not to exceed s5.10. If he succeeds he will receive from a capitalist of Chicago the sum of s10,0OO
 for the right to sell the machine in half of the State of Illinois. Mir. Bowman believes that his carriage has practical advantages possessed by no others. The gas engine weighs 275 pounds, and the supply of gasoline may be put under the seat, where it may be drawn upon when occasion demands. He estimates that gallon per horse power is suff1- cient for ten hours run. The machine complete is designed to cost just about Ehat good horse and harness is worth,

Here girls! Read this if you want to walk as the Newport society girls do. The advancing foot should be placed a long way ahead of the other so as to make very long step, almost a stride; and to keep this stride graceful the foot that is behind lifts itself to the toe and takes right angle swing. The toe must always be set down first, or the body will sink too heavily at each, like the step of a fat woman. The pointed toed shoe is preferred if long enough, as it cuts the air and lends elasticity to the foot.

John Dolnan, Jr., has an article on fsThe Curvature of Space" in the July number of the New Science Review which will interest those who are anx- ious to know something about the fourth dimension. ''If any one," he remarks s.can obtain a knowledge of the fourth dimension he might, as the Htndoo adopts claim to do. disappear at will by moving in that direction, and reap pear at another place. If space be curved London and New York may be less than a yard apart, and the adept might pass from one to the other in- stantly through the fourth dimension" |" Mir. Dolman does not intimate that he has this knowledge, but the inference is that he knows others who have.

S~TREET-CAR TlE-UP.
All the Brooklyn Trolley Lines But Two
Iuyo!yed-Seyeral Small Riots

BROOKLYN, y. Y, January 1.-THE
companies involved In the strike are the
Brooklyn Heights Traction Company, one
OF the largest railroad companies in the
East: the Atlantic-Ayenue railroad, and
the brooklyn n Newton Railroad Com
pany. over 600 miles Of trolley lines are
tied up by the strike. The Jay and
Smith-street lines are not involved.
The elevated roads were wholly
Inadequate to move the thrOngs Of peO-
pie that crowded upon them, and the
routes to the New York bridge and fer
rics were crowded with pedestrians this
morning and again tonight.
The United States may become in
volved in the trouble. The tied-up roads
carry the mails. and in the effort TO
move the mail-cars to-day several small
riots occurred. The strikers were violent.
and at one time 1t required a show of
pistols by the police to get the mail-cars
along. 1t has every appearance of seri-
Gus trouble tomorrow.
The tle-up was complete to-day on all
the roads involved.
HOW IT CAME ABOUT.
BROOKLYN, y. Y, January 1.-THE
strike began when the last night car had
been housed shortly before 1 o'clock this
morning. Not a single day-car on my
road in Brooklyn. with two exceptions.
ran out this morning. Although motor
men and conductors were in the neighbor-
hood of the starting stations. not one
offered TO go 10 work. and the usually
noisy clang Of the trolley-car bell on the
busy streets was hushed.
When the electricians employed In the
four power-houses In the city went to
take their night shift at 6 o'clock last
night, they were asked by the foreman If
they would be willing TO take places
on the cars as mOtOrmen and conductors.
They replied NO" and We're then told
there was no more work for them. This
was the first act In the lockout. The
employees say the action Of President
Lewis in locking out the power-house
workers precipitated the strike. They
say President Lewis told a friend last
night that the strike wOuld cost the
Brooklyn Heights Company at least half
a million dollars.
BROOKLYN'S GREATEST.
The strike Is the greatest one Brook
Ign has ever seen. Master-Workman
Martin Connelly's order was at once obey
cd by 5000 men. The trolley companies
have agents now in New York, Phila-
delphia, and other cities where trolley
lines are run. trying to get men to take
the places of the strikers. Plenty OF men,
the company says 2O0. applied NJ the
City Railway Company's Offices this morn
ing for work. They said they would take
out the cars If they were guaranteed
protection.
The mail-cars did not so out as usual
this morning. The carriers also had trou-
BILE in getting to their routes. They could
not take the elevated trains. and the
mail service was badly impaired.

COLUMBUS, GA, January 1i-About
$50 o'clock tonight u terrible street
tragedy was enacted In Columbus, which
threw the community into a state Of
great excitement and brought large
crowds from every direction. People
passing along Broad street, opposite the
Georgia Home Insurance Building. the
most conspicuous portion Of the business
section OF the city, We're startled by
rapid reports Of pistols being fired, and Il
young man with a smoking revolver in
his hand staggered into Bralnon IL
Carson's drugstore. threw his weapon on
the counter, fell TO the floor. and eX-
pired almost instantly. with great
streams of blood issuing from his mouth
and ears.
The affair was so sudden that few Of
the hundreds on the streets In the vicini-
~ at the time had any conception Of
what had occurred. or understood the
fatal results. The report hat a man
had been killed was soon started, but
no one saw the fatal shots fired, and /.
was difficult TO get particulars.
The young man killed was J. Thomas
Jarrett. who kept a small merchandise
store. lie was also n member of a de-
tective agency. He hal ferreted out a
robbery OF a saloon, and encountered two

two negroes broke and ran in different
directions, and Jarrett staggered into a
store. as above stated. and fell dead.
He was shot In the left breast just above
the nipple. a mortal wound. II Is be-
lleyed both negroes were slightly wound

Notwithstanding the early hour and
the humble Of people on the street,
the controversy was so quiet and the
fatal results so sudden that the negroes
succeeded in getting away before the
people recovered from their surprise or
the police appeared.

lodged In the barracks on suspicion of
being one of the parties.
