MAID OF TIE MOTOR.
First Woman in the World to Run
an Electric Street Car.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

FROM Tue 6lllSDurB Dispatch.
The first woman in the world who is
known to have made a business of running
an electric car through the streets of
city is Miss Hattie X. Miller. She lives in
Santa Barbara, Cal, and it is in the City
of Roses that she has distinguished her
self
1t might be supposed, judging from Miss
Miller's decidedly mannish calling. that
she is of the new woman type, but this is
not the case. This fair Californian is one
OF the most womanly of women. and is
young, handsome and intellectual besides
in short, she is one of the bellies of the
city. More than that, she is not Obliged
to work on electric cars or anything else
for she is well provided with this words

The new electric line has only recently
been completed through the streets of
Santa Barbara, and during the whole Of
its construction no one has watched the
work more enthusiastically than Miss
Miller, who made a most careful studv of
the workings of the big motors and car
mac neaaethiinery. SO much interest did she man.

CHRISTMAS TIN HORNS.
The Custom Of footing Them on
That Day Originated I'm savannah.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
There is tradition IN Georgia that the
tin horn business originated in Savannah.
There was once a mayor of Savannah
IL may have been DR.. Arnold, Who though
very brilliant man, was hard-headed
when he wanted 10 be-who concluded TO
prohibit fireworks In the public squares
Of that city. SO he printed his broclama-
ton 20 that effect In the newspapers. Col
william Il. thompson, who wrote Major
Jones' Courtship," was editing the Morn
ing News, and he wrote a little paragraph
stating that the boys, instead OF being
angry with the good mayor, should be-
thankful, and suggesting that each and
every lad should buy q tin horn ana 20
around and serenade the mayor.
The idea took like wlldfre. Every boy
In town bought a tn horn and marched
around In the square on which the mayor
house frOnted. with the result that the
boys had more fun than ever, while the
mayor had more Christmas 20 the square
inch than anybody ia town, except bs
next-d0or nelghbOrs. That afternoon, SO
the story goes, the mayor set the presses
Of the town TO work and Issued a poster
proclamation. declaring that the public
squares could be used for fireworks, but
not TN horns. Whereupon the square In
front OF the mayors house was vacated
by the boys, who proceeded 70 celebrate
their victory by forming a procession ana
marching through the streets blowing
their 1rns.
