Baths on the Train.

And now bathing car for railways
has been patented. Henceforward
there is no reason why persons travel
ing should be annoyed by the Incl
dental dust and cinders. If they feel
soiled they can jump into bath tub,
presently emerging therefrom clean
and freshened. The patent bathing
car has double row of little rooms
running from one end to the other, on
either 81 of the isle. Each room
contains bath tub and may be closed
by sliding door, so that the strictest
privacy is secured Each room has a
window to afford light and may be
furnished with every luxury and con-
venience to be found in hotel of the
first class. Hot water is supplied
from the locomotive, or steam may be
used, likewise obtained from the en-
gine by means Of pipes running under
the train to heat the water for bath
ing. The water for the baths is sup
posed obe contained in tank on the
roof of the car. To each bath is to be
attached an apparatus for shower
bath. In closets in the attendants
rooms are to be stored such prepara-
tions as are requisite for furnishing
imitation sea water or any sort Of
mcdicatcd baths that may also be pro-
vidcd. OF course, the attendants will
understand the art of massage. At
one end Of the car will be a barber's S
chair. -

Faithful Dog.

The loyalty of well-bred pointer
dog to his work is remarkable. A
writer in The american Field gives
the following instance:
'More than a month ago | was re-
turning home from Old Dominion s
Kennel at White Post, Va, with my
latest purchase, Comrade, and while
visiting my cousin in Elkhart, ILL.,,
one morning, he. wanted me to kill him
some plovers. I drove out on his
farm, taking Comrade with me. | saw
a bunch of plovers and tried to sneak
up to them, but they flushed, keeping
Comrade at heel, the birds flying close
to some Usage orange brush. While
creeping up again / missed the dog,
and looking back I saw him on q
staunch point Zone Of those twisted
points, with his body one way and his
head the other). Not knowing that
he was pointing walked back and be-
fore I had taken eight steps the dog
jumped back and changed his position
but held held his point. | then ran
up and to my surprise heard a rattle
snake, which had struck the dog and
was ready to strike again when shot.
Just after shooting close to the snake
out flew Bob White. The dog held,
stood, never rushing, but watched the
bird q away. I then went to my
spring wagon, and drove as fast as |
could to the town Of Elkhart. There l
procured pint Of whiskey, mixed it
with a pint of milk, and gave it to
Comrade. The dog then became
drowsy, fell asleep, and never awoke
until next morning, apparently none
the worse for the snake bite. Heis at
present here with me in good condi-
tion, not showing any effect at all of
the bite, but just small scar above
the eye.

known and hitherto inaccessible por-
tions of the globe. Mr.. Andree is an
enthusiastic balloonist, his confidence
in this mode Of travel being most
natural in view of his oft-repeated and
entirely successful enterprises in this
direction. The ridicule of the scofiers
of which there has been an abundance
and the warnings of the wiseacres
have made no impression upon him.
To him it is the initial, but ultimately
safe journey, to be followed by many
others, when he has once cut the ice
by sailing through the air.
That the expedition is in every way
equipped goes without telling. Every
precaution has been taken for possible
accidents, and food supplies for months.
Each of the trio has his particular
task to perform. The learned and ex-
perienced DR.. Elkholm will make the
meteorological and scientific observa-
tions. Photography and like duties
will be in Mr.. Strindberg's charge,
while Mr.. Andree will be commander
and caretaker Of the balloon. But all
will work in unison, assisting each
other whenever need be; two will at
all times be on duty.
Mr.. Andree, unlike most travellers
undertaking long journey, was very
little bothered with missives and
messages to people living in those
parts heis bound for; he has, however,
one letter confded to his care by an
American, and addressed to DR..
Nansen, which he has promised TO de-
liver in case they should happen to
meet.

Wire Versus Cotton Ties.

COLUMBIA, August 12.-The result
of the test of the wire-bound bale Of
cotton at the Champion Compress in
Charleston Tuesday was somewhat of
a disappointment to the Alliance Ex-
change people, who are managing the
fight against the Cotton Tie Trust, but
it has not in the least cooled their
ardor nor lessened their determination
to push the fight to the bitter end.
Col. D. P. Duncan, the manager Of
the Alliance Exchange, who witnessed
the test, returned from Charleston
this morning. He is satisfied from
that test that wire ties can be success
fully used as a substitute for the fat
iron ties, and believes that the far
mers of the South will use them until
the trust has been compelled to reduce
the price of hoop ties to something
like that at which they were sold last
year. He is writing to the represen-
tatives Of the farmers in other States,
urging them to follow the example Of
the South Carolina Alliance and resist
the action of the trust in advancing
the price Of hoop ties about 100 per
cent, when the price of iron had only
advanced about 10 per cent. There
does not seem to be much response
from the farmers Of the other States,
who are probably content to use hoop
ties, even at the advanced price, since
the ties sell as cotton and there is
bigger profit from this source or hoop
ties than on wire ties, which are only
about one-half as heavy. At best it
is but sentiment that Col. Duncan
is fighting for, and. it will be hard to
get South Carolina farmers to fight for
that sentiment when they get to study
ing about the remark Of the Charles
ton cotton factor, who said that he
would substitute hoop ties for all wire
ties on bales Of cotton consigned to
him and make profit Of II cents a
bale by the exchange, not counting
the value of the wire he would get.
The farmers see no reason why they
should throw away that profit merely
to battle for sentiment.
Mr.. j. H. Berry, the inventor Of the
buckle used in the test in Charleston,
is the secretary Of the Alliance Ex-
change. He believes the buckle will
answer all the purposes for which it
was designed. He says that the buck
les used in Charleston were rather
smaller than he intended the buckles
20 be, which was due to the hurry
with which they were made in Cclum-
bia so as to be sent to Charleston to
prevent delay in making the test.
With larger buckle he thinks the
fastening can be done more quickly.
Another disadvantage of the test in
Charleston, he says. was the use of
hard wire tires. Annealed wire ties
have been ordered for use on the next
bale shipped for testing. The anneal,
ed wire is more pliable. and it will
take less time to loop it.-Spectaz to

Mile in Sixty.Three Seconds.

ALTON, ILL.,, Aug. sc. 0. An
derson, the intrepid young Central H.
linois wheelman, to-day reduced by
nearly minute the bicycle record Of
the world. 1t was a bold and original
idea that led to the accomplishment Of
this marvellous feat. His plan was
simply that of riding close behind a
railroad train in the vacuum created
by the passing cars.
After considerable difficulty he sue
cecded in inducing the officials of the
St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul Rail
way to build him a board walk two
miles long between the rails between
this city and St, Louis. The fastest
engine on the road was assigned to set
the pace, and a regular passenger
coach was fitted up with a platform on
the rear end, with smooth, perpen-
dicular surface seven feet wide paint
cd black, with the exception of one
white board in the centre, to be aimed
at by the wheelman. An iron guard
rail prevented the chance of fouling
the car with the wheel, and an over
hanging canopy protected the rider
from cinders.
The event was widely advertised by
the railroad company, and great
crowd of enthusiasts were taken to-
day on special train to see the re-
suit. The course was two miles south
from O,denburg Station, giving half
mile from the start to the finish.
Anderson had previously trained on
the track, and felt confident Of sue
cess, but had overestimated just lit
tie his ability. He got off nicely, and
for the first half mile kept thoroughly
up with the flying train, but then it
became evident he could not maintain
this rate of speed. The train covered
the ground in something better than a
sixty mile gait, but the rider came
short just sufficiently to miss by three
seconds his wager to cover the mile in
one minute.
However he demonstrated the fact
that bicycle can be put over ground
great deal faster than any one has
ever before thought of doing and
thereby earned the laudation of wheel
ing enthusiasts everywhere. A great
cheer went up from the throng when
the result was announced. The first
half mile was covered at the rate of
sixty-two miles an hour.--Ncw York
Journal.

At the Ohio headquarters very little
notice appears to be taken OF the plank
made public last night by Mr.. Plat. A
p. ominens member ;of that delegation,
one OF Its big four, made the statement
before the convention that Mr.. Platt
would discover that the Mckinley men
and not Mr.. Aatt were running this con-
vention. It was further said that two
or three men, representing Mr.. Plat,
had called upon Mr.. Hanna and sug-
g. sted certain things to be inserted In
the platform. To each Of these em.ssa-
iies MIR. Hanna Is said TO have replied
that the Mckinley managers consider d
Mr.. c. N. Bliss as the New York rep
resentattves OF the Mckinley campaign,
and that any suggestions from N1w
York. coming through Mr.. Bliss. would
be gladly considered at the Ohio head
quarters.
Mr.. Morton. having, declined to let his
name be used In connection with the
Vice-Presidential nomination, the story
goes that Mr.. Platt had been endeavor-
ing to consolidate the anti-McKinley
forces upon some other Eastern man.
When this fact was made known at the
Ohio headquarters 1t was stated that
while Major Mckinley had no choice in
the matter and would be content to ac-
cept whomsoever the convention might
name, the fact must be accepted by
Mr. Platt that the Mckinley strength
In this convention and not the anti Nc
Kinley man would nominate and elect

into concerted action the effort will be
made in convention to defeat anything
that may emanate from the New York
leader. In the words of one OF the Ohio
Big -Four, the Mckinley men intend to

An Event of Uncommon Ipteres,

When it was announced that the South

deep water terminus our business men
realized that our trade area would there
by become increased nearly two-fold,
and II is too soon even now TO compre-

as a business centre by reason OF this
acquisition. The freight business in
augurated January /, 1895. Is capped by
another event OF no less significance,
and al p. m. yesterday the first through
