Red Tape in France.

Any amount of CORES ondence has
been caused by the discovery of ten
centimes piece, nearly equivalent to
one English penny, at a railway sta
tion in the north of France. The en-
ployee who lit upon the coin carried it
conscientiously to the station master,
who thereupon registered and forward
ed it, with a report, to the Office for lost
articles, which then communicated
with the Police Commissary at the Cen
trail Station in Paris. This functionary
sent the parcel on with fresh report
to the Prefecture of Police, by which
it was also registered, and there the
ten-centimes piece will remain for a
year and a day awaiting the claim
which will, as may confidently be pre-
dicted, never be made by the loser. The
episode is creating some ridicule, but
it shows, at least, the care taken to
keep property which has gone astray
at the disposal of the owner.

MOTORS REPLACE HORSES.
Motor Vehicles Prove Very Successful in
the Trial in France.

WASHINGTON, July &c. W. Chancel-
made a report to the secretary of state
on the subject of horses and carriages, in
which he tells of the recent competition
in France between carriages drawn by
various kinds of motors instead of horses.
The course prescribed was from Paris
to Bordeaux, distance OF 358 miles and
back; any vehicle which consumed more
than 100 hours on the road to be disqual-
flied. Prizes were offered, the principal
one amounting to 10000 francs for four
seated carriages.
The best time was made by four
seated and a two seated vehicle, both
propelled by gasoline. They covered the
distance in "A hours aud So minutes, max
ing about IS miles per hour This record,
Mr.. Chancellor says, is considered very
creditable in view of the necessity of
elm bing long lines of hills
These hills appear to have proved too
much for the electricity propelled car
riages, only one of which got through
The electric carriages lost time being COM
PEELED to stop frequently to renew their
dynamic charges, as did the steam pro-
PEELED carriages, by stopping for fuel
and water, while petroleum machines
carried sufficient fuel for "a hour run.
1t required less than four quarts of oil to
supply the machines.
Altogether he concludes that petrol
cum is destined to become the popular
agent of traffic and conveyance without
horses in the streets of great cities and
on smooth country roads.

When the door was opened the four
men entered. They secured the contents
of the local safe amounting to about $50
and then went at the big safe, which con-
tanned considerable money. Since the
Kendalville robbery the express COM
pany has supplied its cars with dynamite
proof safes and this safe stood the test of
four dynamite cartridges fred by the
robbers. This discouraged them and
they jumped from the train and disap-
peared.
The robbers did not make an attempt
to get into the passenger coaches. When
the robbers left the express car one of
them shook hands with the messenger
and apologized for putting him to so
much trouble.

Countryman Put Twelve Gothamites to

There were thirteen men of US hold
ing down seats in a Fourth avenue car
the other day, while four women who
couldn't get seats were hanging to the
straps, when a man at the front end Of
the car, who had been busy with the
contents of his grip, suddenly rose up
and asked one of the women to accept
his seat, says the Detroit Free Press.
In reply to her "thanksr' he said:
mot at all, ma am-not at all. I'm
sorry I didn't offer it before. Hope you
will excuse me, ma'am."
She bowed in the affirmative, and he
said:
'I am not New Yorker. ma'am. No,
I don't live here. You suspected as
much, 1 presume?"
She looked up curiously, but didn't
reply, and he glanced around the car
and continued:
''I'm what you folks call a provincial.
you know-live out in country town.
| We are hayseeds out there, and have
rustic ways For instance, you would
never see twelve of our men occupying
seats in street car while three ladies
had to stand up. Regular country
style that is, but we can't help it."
| The twelve of US looked full at him
and sought to bulldoze him into silence,
but it didn't work.

UP WITH A RUSH.
The Price of Wheat Advances 5 Cents
Over Yesterday.

over Yesterday
CHICAGO, July 24-Wheat went up
with wild rush today, closing almst
cents higher than yesterday at 7214.
The principal cause for the sensational
advance was the slight movement of
winter wheat, which with higher foreign
markets scared shorts into a wild scram-
BILE for cover.
The market started with unusual
vigor, opening about cent higher at
6815. For time trades were light but
the spectators were nervous and every
trade of any magnitude showed an i'm
mediate effect upon prices. The re-
eeipts of new wheat we're light, the total
receipts with the last years comparison
being as follows: Chicago receipts 81, 600,
last year, $4,000; St Louis receipts
today $4,000, last year 191, 900; Toledo
receipts today 41,0O0, last year 237, 900;
Detroit receipts today 5000, last year 56,-
900; total receipts today $4,000; last
year S08,000.
Out of the 81 cars received in Chicago
today only 1S were new wheat and none
of these contracts. In addition to light
receipts there were reports of crop dam
age and the unexpected advance brought
to aid in the rout of the bears. Pardridge
who was said to be heavily short, was a
liberal buyer and other big shorts also
were on the run.
The price had several big tumbles
during the day on the taking of profits,
but near the close there was frantic
rush to cover by scared shorts, and prices
went skyward, closing with Septemb Der
at 721 as compared with 675s at last
nil

Police Court.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. July 24-There
are pending for the next term of the dis
trict court seventy five appeals by joint
lists from the decision of the police court
This is significant of the fact that the
jointists of Kansas City, Kansas, are go
ing to make a concereted attempt to re-
sist the payment of the police fines more
than once month by attacking the val
idlty of the trippling shop ordinance
with the ultimate object of bringing
about condition here similar to that
which now exists at Wichita.
At that place the city council has re-
pealed all ordinances bearing on the
liquor question and thrown the burden
on the shoulders of the state administra-
tion. By making stubborn fight in the
courts, backed of course by the Missouri
side brewers, the jointists of the city
aim to HkilP' the city ordinance, and they
hope such pressure will be brought to
bear on the governor that he will be-
compelledto to go back on that much talked
about Leavenworth contract, or else cal
low the other cities in the state the
same liberty that the town mp the river,
now enioYS.

How They Were Named.

There is a diversity of opinion as to
why some vehicles are called hackney
coaches, some persons supposing that
they were so named from the village of
Hackney And, indeed, there appears
to be good grounds for this supersti-
ton, as King James l., who first IL
censed them, had, at the time, of SO do
ing, a palace there, and an inn in this
same locality was one of the first to
keep for hire one of these coaches.
