STREET RAILWAY DEVICES.
Among Them . Scheme to Keep Con.
ductors Honest.

ductcrs Honest.
1t is many years since Mark Twain's
lines immortalizing the enforced
punching Of variously colored slips by
street railway conductors to prevent
their holding up the company" ran
riot through the land, and the "buff
trip slips" the pink trip slips" and the
blue trip slips" have long been aban-
doned by most street railways in favor
of the clock faced indicator This is a
fairly good device, but still it may be
worked by clever man not unwilling
to divert few nickels to his own
pocket. In Toronto the company has o
scheme which, so far as any one knows.
has never yet been circumvented by a
conductor. Indeed, it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
tonnivance Of q passenger. By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all. When collecting, he car
ries around specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put his
own ticket or cent piece. The con-
ductor who violates the company S rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon a
special hook and must there remain un-
til more passengers board the car.
The cars of the trolley line betwee
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off. At the rear end of each car
are folding gates which are under the
control Of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached a
full stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever as that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when the gates open and close up when
they shut.
The managers of this same line have
carried the street car advertising notion
| to greater length than the managers
Of most other trolley lines in the United
States. In addition to the ordinary space
| for advertisements over the windows,
the backs Of the seats are provided with
| panels for the display of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers of the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement
announcements Exchange.

Turk Wasn't Going to Crete, Anyhow.

Canea, Crete, Aug. 6.-The admirals
in command OF the foreign fleets in Gre
tan waters yesterday informedthe Turk
fish governor of their intention to pre-
vent the Turkish squadron which left
the Dardanelles on Tuesday last for
Crete from staying in Cretan waters.
The answer OF the governor was that he
had received communication from the
Turkish government denying that the
latter had dispatched fleet or troops to
Crete and stating that the Turkish
squadron concerrang whose movements
there had been SO much comment was
going to Sigri. island Of Mitylene.

BATES Is VERY MUCH MAKRIID.N
Two Wives Almest In Sight of Each Other
at ChicaKo-There Are Others. -

Chicago. Aug. eff the evidence in
yards station il to be believed David f.
Bates Of Englewood. an employe at the
receiving department. Of the stock yards,
now confined in station cell, is one of
the most married men of the land. Dur
ing the space Of over five months he is
said to have maintained almost in sight
of each other the establishments of two
women, both of whom called him hus-
band. The exact number of matrimonial
chances alleged to have been taken by
Bates may not be ascertained for sew
eral days. kilograms that have gone
chasing through Michigan, Illinois and
Wisconsin will have to be answered be-
fore the life history of the man is laid
bare.
From lettersfound in his pockets when
arrested, now held for trial evidence, the
number OF women who are entitled to
bear his name is three, and another has
secured a divorce from him. No less
than half dozen epistles found upon
him are signed in ways that indicate
that the writer's were either wives or
sweethearts. In addition, it is thought
he may be the Austin o. Craven who
Was Nlueiy sought last winter LOT the
abduction Of pretty 16-year-old Cora
Nosburg, Of Waupaca, Wis. Among the
documents taken from Bates was one
stating that in Kalamazoo. Mich, June
l. 1889, Nettie H. Bates had secured from
him a decree of divorce. Alongside was
a lawyer-like letter from a legal firm in
Marquette, Mich, under date of June %,
1897, stating that his wife, Anna E.
Bates was about to file suit for divorce.
Nothing was discovered in the batch
OF letters to show that the divorce had
been granted, and for this reason the
supposition is that Bates is still har-
messed. legally and illegally, to three
women. The Mrs Bates who applied for
the divorce and did not get it was be-
fore her marriage Miss Anna Harbart.
She is the sister Of the wife Rev. C. P.
Bates, CT Sault Ste. Marie Mich, a
brother Of the exploiter of the leniency
Of the marriage view. She was married
to Bates in Plainville, Mich, and the
groom's reverend brother performed the
ceremony. The two women he married in
this city are Miss Nettie Swan ana Julia
Mccarthy, the latter being his first vic
tim.

Will Try to Free George Perrin.

kencsha, Wis, Aug. 6.-An effort Is
soon to be made to secure a pardon for
George Perrin, one Of the men convicted
Of arson in the famous trial Of Septem-
Der, 1895. Shortly after the burning Of
the Chicago Bedding factory he was ar
rested in Grand Rapids. Mich. and
brought here under the charge of arson.
The charge against him was secuted by
some of the best citizens Of the place.
He was convicted, however, and now it
Is said that new facts show that he was
a victim of circumstantial evidence.
