pertinent to ask Mr.. Vining and his COM
panY what they intend to do in the future.
There have been various and sundry
tests made of tenders. but none of them
proved acceptable to Mr.. Vining and his
company. True, any one of them would
undoubtedly have saved the life of the
little Italian schoolboy yesterday morn
ing-but, then, human life is cheap and
tenders cost money.
Yesterday there was another fender ex-
pertinent made under the direction of Mr..
Vining. 1t is hoped that something more
than bare experiment will result from it.
| The Baltimore bartender was the one
tested. 1t is described as comprising, to
begin with, double guard of iron tubing,
extending across the track in front of the
car. One of the round bars hangs very
close to the rails, and from it number of
curved iron straps slant backward and up
ward with something of the ordinary cow
catcher appearance and effect. The other
bar is elevated three feet above the ground,
and from it a guard of painted canvas is
stretched downward to that below. Be-
tween the two there would seem to be no
possibility Of any part Of the end of the
car striking a man while the fender is in
position.
The lower guard hangs quite close TO the
track, but by means of a lever placed con-
veniently TO the gripman's hand it can be
instantly dropped still lower, resting in
fact upon the rails. That human body,
however small, could pass underneath
would seem to be an impossibility. Never
theless this contingency is provided
against. Under the car and just in front
of the wheels a secondary fender, consist
ing of fiat straps fastened to light but
strong iron tubing, is affixed in such DO
sition and so close that nothing could pass
under it.
The test was made yesterday morning
on the Mission-street line. Mr.. Vlning and
several Supervisors were present. The
former was especially pleased with the
fender. He said he was satisfied that the
Baltimore appliance was the one that
should be adopted.
When asked whether the Market street
Railway would fit its cars with the Balti-
more fender, Mr.. Vining said it all de-
pended upon the action taken by the
Board of Supervisors.
1--WE are not at liberty to adopt any par
ticular fender" said he, "until the Super
visors have passed upon the merits of
those submitted"
Mr.. Clark OF the Alameda fender was
present at the test yesterday morning.
Naturally enough, he claimed that it was
not equal to his own invention. 1t is APP
parent, however that from the test of the
Baltimore fender yesterday, and the long
continued test of the Alameda fender in
actual use, that such a thing as practi-
cable fender is not only possibility, but a
living reality, and that if the Market
street Railway desires to make it's street
cars less dangerous to life and limb there
is no valid reason why they cannot be
fitted with life-saving tenders, of one kind
or another, IN very short space of time.

why HeOpAe feel MS way anu Inab
1t Is Needless Clearly Shown.
"Why is it that SO many people feel under
the weather. have tired feelings and complain
of chilly sensations at this time of the year?' .
This is question that is very easily answered.
People naturally feel weak and run down after
the heat of summer because it thins the blood
and lowers the vitality. The chilly weather of
fall and early winter finds them unprepared to
withstand the change of temperature, and
hence they suffer. This fact is plainly proved
by the following opinions OF some people who
speak from practical experience:

Thousands of people testify to its splendid
tonic effects in cases of extreme weakness. On
this account no inferior limitations should be
accepted from grocers or druggists who at
tempt to substitute something inferior. There
is nothing that can take its place.

MASTERY OF SELF.

He who masters his own spirit Is greater
than he who taketh city, and to conquer
ones self is the most difficult task of life.
To be able to bear reviling and not revile
in return; to take blow without giving
one back; to hear men say all manner of
evil things against you falsely and to bless
them; to know that men are plotting your
downfall and to be able to pray for them,
is a high state of grace to which but few
have attained. Would you see an example
of this complete mastery, behold the fife
not again.-Rev. Richard Harcourt, Balti-

An American citizen ought to be posi-

they are on the great questions of the day.
If man is Methodist he ought to be a
Methodist and not a halfway Presby-

COWARDLY CHRISTIANS.

There is great deal of cowardice in the
church, but it is no part of a Christian.
No Christian can be or is coward.
Whenever you see church member begin
to dodge questions of right, begin to side
with evil, begin to make excuses and ex-
plain why he does not take strong,
open, manly stand for God, you watch
that man, and let him watch himself also.
That spirit is not of God. God does not
hestow that kind of gifts upon his crea-

THE SLEEPING CHURCH.

- Sleeping Jonahs are the dead weights on

their presence. So many inside the church
are never DESTROYS or long for the salvation
of other souls, nor even for their own. So
the church languishes. Are we not as

The church of Christ is rousing herself
like giant from slumber. She is uttering
her voice on the great question of citizen

the determination to settle them from a

vice and crime. Everywhere the cry is
going up: LET US bury our theological
differences and unite on some line Of moral

The V1EGlSGAN has always been
an advocate OF pntrouizing home in.
dustries, aud thereby keeping. as far
as possible, the money earned here
at home. All things being equal,
or even if 90 article costs o trifle
more, the preference should be
given to the home dealer: II this
rule was applied in all oIasses of ex.
penditures the general public would
be greatly the gamer, for the reason
that the money would be put in gen.
eral circulation. There may be ex,
captions where an article cannot be
obtained ut home to be sure, then
OF course n ID compelled to send
away for it. but under other cir
cumstances the home dealer should
not be overlooked.
1t has been estimated by some OF
our most active s~torekespers that

OF our people in this respect. Every

helps the progress and prosperity Of
