Fisher was unconscious when taken

On recovering consciousness was that
he had hit something. possibly the slop-

person, however.
His condition now Is a most peculiar
one, and cannot be fathomed by the
three physicians in charge of his case.
He Is mentally bright and keen, but all

and possibly more than one, viii be
called TO consider his case with its odd

CREATED A SENSATION.
Eociety Girl Runs a Locomotive
While Her Cavalier Fires
Natalie McNeal Beats Her Millionaire
Escort in . Bicycle Race and Makes
Him Do Two Hours Hard
Work As Penalty.

Society people of Burlington, N. J.,
are in no end of tongue wagging over
the escapade of Miss Natalie McNeal.
who manned a locomotive of the Penn
sylvania railroad and made her cavalier
do the work Of fireman while she pre-
sided over the throttle. Miss McNeal Is
the 1e-year-old daughter of Andrew 81.
McNea3, the millionaire who conducts
the largest foundry in the state. She
is probably the most popular woman
living on the New Jersey side OF the
Delaware river. She is the head of the
exclusive set of Burlington society and
can ride horse or propel wheel with
equal grace.
Among the visitors at the McNeal
residence is Edward Burd Grubb, Jr.,
son of Millionaire Harry B. Grub, .
retired broker and ex-member of the
New York Yacht club. He is a nephew
of Edward 3. Grub, ST., OF Edgewater,
n. j., who was minister to Spain dur.
ing Garfel6's administration. Young
Grub is about % years old, good-look-
ing, and is said to be the possessor OF q
snug little fortune of 100000. 1t was
one Monday afternoon that Miss Nc
Neal, while on her wheel, met young
Grub near the post Office.
"I'll race you to the foundry" said
Miss McNeal. "What shall we race
for" he asked.
"Well, if you lose, you must do two
hours work." she replied. The one-
sided wager was made.
Miss McNeal easily won the race. An
hour later she mounted a yard engine
chartered by Mr.. McNeal to shunt cars
in the foundry yard and ordered Grubb
to enter the cab of the engine.
"Now, you'll have to do the firing"
she said to Grubb, "aDd you must keep
on a good head Of steam, for we are
going to make some quick runs"
Then she pulled the throttle wide
open and the locomotive sprang for
ward. The young millionaire took off
his coat and started to heave in coal.
He was clumsy at first and handled
the larger pieces with his hands. Then
he wiped his hands on his white hand
kerchief and q moment or two later
imopped his brow with it.
The tracks run through the main
street Of the town. and the racket of the
bell and whistle attracted widespread
attention. There were roars of laugh.
ter at the-picture young Grub pre-
scented. His white duck trousers were
Just sufficiently white TO show that he
was not . regular stoker. The per-
SEPARATION poured down his face, but he
kept manfully at work. It was all
greatfun for the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
but Grub didn't enjoy it a bit. Grub
was kept at work exactly an hour and a
half Miss McNeal then relented and
ran the locomotive back to the foundry
yard.

petition-Gses Into Eject January 1.
The department of state is in receipt
of a report from Consul Lieber, at Dus-
seldorf, giving a law lately enacted in
the German empire intended to abolish
certain unfair competition. The law
Is principally directed against swindling
advertisements, false statements Of
quantities, ISLANDERS, i'll use of the firm
and betrayal Of business secrets. In the
meaning of the law agricultural prod
ucts are to be considered as merchan-
disc and agricultural work as profess
sional work. The law forbids misrepre-
sensations and prohibits employees from
selling or making public secrets Of the
persons for whom they work. Viola
tons of the law are punished by fines
ranging from 1857 to STA, and impris-
onment for one year. Civil damages
may also be recovered.

which purposes to manufacture oil
from cotton seed. It is the logical re-
suit Of the cotton mills at Shanghai, and
the consequent stimulus given to the
cultivation of cotton in China.
Since 1890 there have been 45 new
manufacturing plants established in
Shanghai. They are all in successful
operation, especially the cotton fac
tories, in which large capital in In.

The area suitable for cultivation OF
cotton in China is almost as imitleS

very cheap, there can be no doubt that
China will soon be one Of the great cot
ton-producing countries Of the world,
and that this product, produced and
manufactured in China. will command
serious consideration in all calculations
It will not be safe to discount the cot
ton of China because it now grades
low, for it is certain to improve. At
present It is estimated there are 3,00o.-
600 tons of cotton seed, equal to &C. 000,-
900 gallons of oil, now yearly lost to
commerce, which would find q ready
market. The company proposes to
start with a capital of s25o, 900 Mexican
dollars. One company has already or
dered its machinery from the United
States.
