4 SIGNIFICANT MOVE.

What may soon happen in Connecti- cut is indicated by what has happened in Ohio. It is announced that the management of the Cincinnati, Hamil- ton x Dayton railroad, recognizing that the public demand low rates and trains at shorter intervals for their suburban business than is practical with the present motive power and heavy equipment, has decided to adopt lighter equipment for the handling of this short local business, in some of it's most densely populated territory, by calling to its aid electricity, and deal has been consummated by which the C., H. & Dayton railroad becomes the owner, by purchase, of the street rail- way lines of Middletown, Ohio. The C., II. & D. company assumes control at once, and will make immediate connec- tion between the street car tracks and the railroad Through cars will be op- etatSu LFOln dil parLS or MlQQlelOWn 10 Hamilton, with electricity as the mo- tive power. The most modern equip ment, motors and cars will be put on this line in short time, and very low schedule of fares will be adopted. In a short time the electric service will be extended south of Hamilton to Cin- cinnati, thus revolutionizing suburban business, which is the heaviest any line has running out of Cincinnati. The C., H. & D. company has in view the build ing up of the suburban villages stretch ing along the Mill Creek valley.
 This new departure in the employ ment of electric power on an establish ed steam railroad is likely to inaugu- rate a new era in the handling of sub- urban travel on the railroads through out the country.

MORE TROUBLE,

Members of mutual life insurance as- sessment associations will be interested in what is going on in Indiana. It has generally been supposed that a member of such an association ended his liabil- ity when he neglected to pay assess
 ments, and incurred the associations penalty of forfeiture of membership and of benefit. An effort to establish the contrary is being made in the courts in Indiana, where an attempt is being made to force the members of the Masonic Benevolent association of cen- tral Illinois to pay defaulted assess ments. The association went into the hands of a receiver in 1894. For two or three years prior thereto many members. doubtful of the stability of the association, neglected to pay their assessments This brought on the re- ceivership proceedings, and the receiv- CT has endeavored to collect sufficient money to pay the S134,9OO in approved

DOGS ON THE ROAD.

They Readily Learn the Use of Carts
 and Carriages of Locomotion.
 A London coachman who for years had charge of large and beautiful stable of superb carriage horses, told the writer that a carriage-dog by his master invariably ran beneath the pole chains the moment the carriage started, and would make the circuit of the park several times without moving more than a few inches from this place. the three animals-two horses and the dog moving like a machine Curiously enough, the dog chose his particular horse to live and sleep with in the stable; when travelling and in stables it mounted guard over his horses box, and would allow no strange hostler or groom to approach. it.
 Greyhounds also learn to run with traps. It was the custom for sporting farmers in East Anglia to drive to market with pair of these dogs, either running with their heads just beneath the tail-board, or one on either side of the cart. Their pace was a trot, step for step with the horse. The use of carts and carriages for locomotion is much more readily learned by dogs than the art of keeping safe among traffic. Sporting dogs soon learn to like being driven to the shooting ground. When accustomed to this they will jump up the moment the tail board is lowered, and curl up under the seat, and show great discontent if not offered a place. But nearly all are singularly dull at devising any means for safe descent when the drive is over They usually make violent spring to the ground, often when the cart has scarce ly stopped, and fractured fore legs are frequent result,
 Trains present far less difficulty to them. Though occasionally afraid of the rush and noise of the cars, they soon learn to delight in travelling by rail-if allowed to accompany their masters. They rush in the moment the door Is opened and some dogs, notably those which are accustomed to comfor- table drawing and soft carpets, will always select a first-class carriage in preference to a wooden seated third" But though they have learnt to reckon with the speed of carriage, and become so found of railway travel ing that railway dogs who travel by choice and alone are quite common there Is a "Ryde to Portsmouth' dog too, which travels by boat, and begs pennies for buns-no dog, and we be- lieve no domesticated animal, has ever learned to judge the speed of a train. When once on the line they seem, in this country quite unconscious of danger. If the train is moving at the rate of from five to twelve miles an hour, they get out of the way; but pack of hounds on a railway line, even if they are not in full cry, are always cut to pieces by the first fast train which overtakes them. The first thing which the driver does when he sees them is to shut off steam. This makes the engine noiseless, but the whole train rushes on, plainly visible, but with

HIRED PRAYING.

There are some queer things in Wash ington D. c. Among them is the Se- cular league, which holds meetings weekly for the discussion and decision ! of great questions. Its last meeting was unusually interesting and impor- tant. At 1t Brother Cuddy took the position that government chaplaincies are detrimental to Christianity" and made long argument against their re- tention. His chief point was that "ft is contrary to the spirit of the constitu- tion to appoint government-paid chap lains, since that document requires no religious qualification as a test for office'' He said that the government has in it's employment fifty-eight army and navy chaplains to rhom it annu- ally pays $S7 800. He objected to this because but one-third of the population of the United States makes any re- ligious profession whatever, and yet the
 
 pay their proportion of the cost of ser vices in which they do not believe. He also stated that a large part of the revenues of the government was de- rived from the sale of liquors and to- bacco, and yet Christian minister pockets this blood-stained money as a salary for being government chaplain" After hearing these powerful argu- ments, the Secular league adopted a preamble and resolution, the latter con- demning the practice of hiring men to pray at the opening sessions of con gress and demanding the repeal of the law establishing chaplaincies. The pre- amble contained several curious speci- fications, like the following: Whereas, Moses, Paul and Peter seem to have offered their mediatorial services gratuitously, and would doubtless be very much surprised if they should re turn to Washington to-day and find that prayer is bought in the open mar ket by both houses of congress at the rate of about $50 an hour; and, where as, though thousands of purchased prayers have been uttered in congress, there is no evidence of one ever hav- ing been answered even in the period of our greatest national distress; and, whereas, we believe it would be quite as effective, and much more econonli- cal, for every member of congress to do his own praying"
 All the interesting talk that is made in Washington isn't made in congress. It is to be hoped that the proceedings of the Secular league will be more regularly and fully reported than they have been.

Thousands Spent on the Hale Peach
 Orchard in Georgia.
 The Forest and Stream has an inter- esting article on the Hale peach or chard in Georgia and says: "The great Hale peach orchard in Georgia covers 1,07S acres, 500 of which are in bearing trees and the remainder in nursery stock. There are avenues running north and south through the orchard 800 feet apart, with a cross road every 1000 feet There are two large packing houses 100 feet long and forty feet wide and two stories high, and a lodging house or hotel has just been built for the help. Last year some 400 helpers camped in barns, wagons, tents, etc. At picking time about 800 men and wO- men, chiefly cOlOred, and seventy-five horses and mules are employed, while fifty men and the thirty mules are em- ployed the year around. At the lodg- ing house rooms and beds are free, and board costs $2.50 a week, while fami- lies and parties can furnish their own food and have 1t cooked for themselves if they choose. This year the curculio attacked the peaches and J. H. Hale waged prompt war upon the insects, jarring the trees and catching the in sects in sheets tackled to light semi circular hoop frames. Two of these were brought together about a tree, which was struck by a rubber padded club, and the insects which dropped were thrown into buckets and carried by boys to barrels in wagons and drawn away to be burned with the stung fruit which dropped with them. Fifty men were busy for nearly two months, from

Among picture hats the variety is simply bewildering. Great shadowy affairs of pIeated velvet, one set of plea.ts spreading horizontally over the brim, the other standing up a lot higher than the crown, are seen, laden with flowers, lace, plumes, fur and most anything. Enormous rhinestone buckles add brilIiancy and the brightest tints are selected in velvet. Another style of picture hat is the quaint direc- toire, which is a glorifed poke with it's scooped brim and high narrowing crown. The crown is often finished by row of bias folds of moire silk, while at the side, well above the brim, is set an aggressive bunch of every which-way plumes. Narrow black wa tered silk strings come from the back where the brim is hollowed away to al low for the hair. Rosettes or a bunch

An Indiana woman who was divorced some months ago Is now suing her former husband for breach of promise, alleging that he has since promised to marry her. It is suggested that had the poor man stuck to his promise she would probably have had him arrested for bigamy on the ground of marrying the same wife twice.

black moire, Is as stunning as can be.
 Rather less fanciful than this sort, but still showy enough to pass as 0 picture hat in the estimation of most of us, is the hat the artist sets here. It was moss green velvet with low crown and wide blim, the latter bent into fluted dents in front and turned up in back, being there held in place by a jabot Of cream lace and few white chrysanthe- nuns. The edge of the brim was Dor dered with a fluffing of very pale green velvet, ,forwhlch taffeta can be substitut- ed if desired. The remaining garniture consisted of seven ostrich plumes, all disposed in such manner that the tips bend toward the first. This arrange ment of the plumes was in distinct contrast to the every -which-way style so commonly seen, and was the char acteristic feature of the hat. To most women it would be pleasing charac- teristic, too, and men ought to like it unless they have to sit behind it in the playhouse. FLORETTE.
