GOTHAM'S ELEVATED ROADS.
Thirty Thousand Pieces q Year Turned
Over to the Lost Property Department.

Thirty Thousand Pieces o Year Turned
Over to the Lost Property Department.
At terminal points on the elevated
railroads, South ferry, for example, the
guards on the trains go through the cars
and pick up anything that may have
been left by the passengers and turn it
over to the train dispatcher at the sta
tion, who delivers it to the superintend-
ent of the lost property department of
the Manhattan Railway company, at 80
Greenwich street. There the article is
inspected and a record of the finding of
it, with description Of the article, is
made in a book kept for that purpose =;
there is book for each division of the
road. Then it is wrapped up, properly
tagged or labeled, and held to await it's
owner. Sometimes the ownership of a
package is discovered upon examining it.
Then if it is not called for the company
notifies the owner of the finding of it.
In this way articles are restored to their
owners daily.
Umbrellas are the articles most nu-
merously found. Of these there are found
from 2,5OO to 5000 year; they are Of
all kinds and qualities. The number of
umbrellas found increases from year to
year about in the same proportion as the
increase Of travel. Next to umbrellas in
the numbers found come satchels, and
after them, about in the order named,
come hats, shoes, books and the various
things that are done up in packages
There are found also watches, diamonds,
hardware, music, bottles and in the
course Of the year many other things in
great variety.
Altogether from the various divisions
Of the road there are turned over to the
lost property department about 10000
pieces year. About half of these lost
articles are called for. Articles Of small
value are kept six months; articles Of
greater value are kept year. Things
not called for are finally sold by public
auction at sales held semiannually -

MAY ADJOURN IN MAY.

Congress Proposes to Rush Business
Through.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The house is
pushing ahead the appropriation bills
with all possible speed, with a view to
an early final adjournment. Already
five of the thirteen general appropria-
ton bills have been sent to the senate
the army, military academy, urgent de-
ficiency, diplomatic and consular, and
agricultural. The District of Columbia
bill has in it several disputed items, but
will, it is believed, cause little trouble
when it is again brought into the
house. The Indian bill is now under
consideration, and the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial, the next in order,
is on the calendar. The naval and
postoffice bills
Will Be Brought in This Week.
When these are disposed of, but three
will remain-the sundry CIVIL, general
deficiency and Notifications. The
house leaders are still hopeful that
some way can be found to secure &C.
ton on the tariff bill in the senate but
beyond that there appears to be little
chance for general legislation, except,
perhaps, bankruptcy, and possibly, a
Pacific railroad bill. Consequently
they are hurrying along the appropria-
ton bills and shaping things for an
early adjournment.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman Of the appro-
priation committee, says that sine die
adjournment should be reached in the
middle of May.

Senate Shouldn't Investigate
Any Charges Not Directly
Made.
PETER Resolution Carries With
It an Insinuation of Crook
edness.
Congress Hurrying Up Work,
and Is Likely to Adjourn
in May.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. The senate
passed the bill to pension Mrs Gresham
at 500 a month.
The resolution of Mr.. Lodge, direct
ing the finance committee to inquire
into the circumstances of the bond is
sue during 1894-5-6 was taken up. Mr.:
PETER offered an amendment broaden.
ing the resolution, and directing that it
be made a special committee of five
senators. Mr.. Lodge moved to lay the
PETER amendment on the table. MI.
Hill had sought to discuss the subject
OF Mr.. Lodges motion to table, but he
made the point that the special purpose
was to prevent lengthy discussion.
II shall find an opportunity to ex-
press my views on the subject" inter-
jected Mr.. Hill. The motion to table
was defeated, yeays Is to "a nays. Mr..
Hill said he voted against tabling the
resolution as he thought it desirable to
discuss it. He regarded the Lodge res
olution as proper in form and giving
due courtesy to the secretary of the
treasury. But he did not consider it in
the province of the senate to investi.
gate everything brought before the
senate. It was desirable to look into
the motives inspiring these various res
olutions. Requests for information
were one thing, but formal 'investiga-
ton was
Another and More Serious Question.
An investigation, carried to the pub
lie an impression of irregularity. Be-
fore such an investigation was inaug.
urated there should be something def
mite and tangible.
lit is not because there is a Demo.
cratic secretary of the treasury that
oppose this investigation. said Mr..
Hill with great vigor. II would op-
pose it if my worst political enemy oc.
cupied the chair of the secretary of the
treasury
He opposed it, he said, because this
Investigation was based on idle rumors
and sensational newspaper gossip. It
voiced the "wail and complaints of dis
appointed bond bidders.'
If this investigation is begun, then
there will be no means of stopping an
investigation Of every trivial rumor.
If there is anything in the recent bond
sale requiring investigation, said Mr..
Hill, there should be formal resolu-
ton stating just what was charged, in
order that the results might be COM
pared with the expectations. AS the
resolution stood, now, it was a s'stab in
the dark, " and was an attempt to in
sinuate what the author (Pefer) of the
resolution was afraid to state boldly.
At this point, 2 o'clock interviewed,
setting aside the bond resolution and
bringing up the Cuban question, which
was the regular order. MI. Morgan of
Alabama, resumed his speech in sup
port of the resolution to recognize the
Cubans as belligerents.

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
= years he struggled along with limited means,
Striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name 'Dr. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of tOllng and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despoil him OF his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
"just as good as Dr.. Ward's," frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
no. 1885.
All customers are hereby cautioned to see that

settle very peculiar wager, the one

cate that he would make six people out
Of ten yawn anywhere without saying

for the purpose. The young man who
had proposed the wager had not taken
his seat many minutes when he opened
his mouth and gave fearful yawn. He
speedily followed it by another and
then awaited results. A moment later
! middle aged lady promptly put her
hand up to her mouth to smother q
yawn. Almost everybody in
the carafter that seemed in a desperate
hurry to follow the lady's lead. Out of

PRESS COMMENTS.
AItgeId and Bryan in Contrast
On. Y. SUM


1t is the habit of The Sun to recognize
intellectual power wherever we perceive
it. regardless Of the character. opinions,
or purposes of the person manifeSting
the same. Governor Altgeld's speech
in Cooper Union on Saturday night
shows him to be very able man, and,
being what he is and representing what
he does. a very dangerous political
leader.
The man who dominated for a time
the crazy convention which nominated d
Bryan in the end, is as different from
Bryan as wolf is from a marmoset.
There is nothing of the comedian about
the Illinois Anarchist. If he has vanity.
he has enough force of character to
conceal it. If he lacks sincerity, he has
wit enough to simulate cal'restress.
If the real motive of his political ac-
tivity is selfish, he is adroit enough to
conceal his motive. In the cleanly-cut.
direct sentences of his rhetoric there is
no trace of lf-consciousness: and the
whole effect of his speech of night be-
fore last, conveying the most abomn-
able doctrines in straightforward
phrases. is sombre, defiant and menac-
ing.
This is the real leader of revolution,
and it would be foolish to underestimate
the qualities which make him dan
gerous.
Contempt for Bryan there may be: it
is amply justified. John p. Altgeld in
spires other and more serious senti-
