The New York Central railroad has just
refunded 500 10000 Of its outstanding
bonds. and each of the new bonds of
denomination of $1,000, requires the sigma
ture of the president of the railroad. Pres
ident Chauncey NJ. Depew viii therefore
have TO sign his name just 10000 times.
and he has made an interesting mathe-
matical calculation as to how long it will
take him to do il. He figures that he can
find time to sign 800 bonds a day. and
with twenty-five working days to the
month, il will take him just eight months
TO do the job. II looks like an outrage TO
impose such a task as this upon the genial
doctor but it must be done. What a pity
that Or. Depew cannot just make his
mark and let It go at that

William Rockefeller. the Standard oil
magnate, is having an interesting tilt with
the county officials of Westchester coun-
ty who have assessed his Tarrytown prop
erty at S2593, 500 upon which he will have
to pay something like 500 a day taxes
Rockefeller insists that it is a gross out
rage considering that the property and
improvements cost him only $4,000. and
he now offers to sell 1t out lock, stock and
barrel for the small sum of $350000. The
county officials say this is a bluff and
they show no indications of backing down
from their position. AT the same time it
looks like there is an effort on the part
of the county TO gouge Mr. Rockefeller
just because he's got the money and the
county needs it. Perhaps Westchester
county has Il Buckhalter swamp that
needs developing.

FEARLESS ANIMALS.


MoxicO's Wild Hogs, or Peccary, RUM
from Nothing Under the Sun.
From the st. Louis Republic: "The
most vicious and fearless of the brute
creation is the peccary, or wild hog of
Mexico" said G. w. Bartlett, of Lare-
do, Tex, who is at the Planters. "This
animal seems utterly devoid of the
emotion of fear. have never seen it
turn hairs breadth out of its path
for any living thing. Man is its special
bette noir. 1t displays an intelligence
in fighting the human strangely at va
rance with it's apparently complete
lack of any mental attributes, save the
very lowest order of instinct. They are
rarely found singly, but go in droves of
from hundred to thousands. Their
ability to scent man is particularly
marked. I have known a drove of them
to scent a man a mile off and strike as
straight for him as the arrow flies
There is no use to try to brighten them
with guns. The cannonading of a fulI
battery would have no more effect on
them than the popping of firecracker
The only thing to do when they get
after you is to run away from them as
fast as horse can carry you. And
then there is no certainty that they
won't catch you. They are nearly as
swift as horse, and their endurance is
as great as their viciousness."
"a friend of mine encountered a
drove in a wild part of Mexico a few
years ago. and his escape was miracu-
lous. He very foolishly shot and wound
ed a number of them. Then he took
refuge in tree, The peccaries kent
him in the tree all that day and
through the night. They circled around
the tree, granting and squealing their
delight at the prospect of feast. He
soon exhausted his ammunition. and
brought down peccary at each fire
But this had no terTors for the beasts
Along toward morning the brutes be-
gan to eat the ones he had killed. and
when they had thus satisfied the crav-
ings of their stomachs they formed in
line and trotted off. If they had not
had some of their own number to de-
YOUR they would have guarded that
tree until my friend, through sheer ex.
haustion, dropped from his perch and
allowed them to make a meal of him
The wildcats and tigers that infest the
Mexican wilds fee from the peccaries

snakes keep out of their path"

OEArM DUE 70 FALLING WIRES
More Persons Killed by These Than by
Railroad Accidents.

More Persons Killed by These Than by
Railroad Accidents.
We have recently had an opportuni-
ty to examine batch Of newspaper
clippings giving accounts of accidents
que to the falling Of electric wires,
says the Railroad Gazette. These clip
pings cover the months from May to
September, inclusive, but it is not to
be supposed that we have found in
them reports of all or nearly all the
accidents Of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
However, to show. that the matter is a
very serious one. We find in the five
months reports of 122 accidents due to
falling trolley wires. In IL of these
accidents IL persons were killed, and
in % of them 81 persons were injured,
and in l8 Of them "a horses were kill
ed. During the same five months we
find reports of 40 accidents from fall
ing electric light and telephone wires,
showing that persons were killed in
accidents, q were injured in % acct
dents and horses were killed. The
nature of the accidents is very famil-
lar; that is, a broken live wire falls
into the street, and a passer-by steps
on 1t or picks 1t up and gets shock
which is often fatal. We thus find,
during this period, a total of 81 fatal
tiles resulting from falling live wires
OF all kinds. At this rate Of mortal
ity, If it were kept up, so persons
would be killed in the year. In 1895
there were S8 passengers killed in train
accidents on all the steam railroads of
the United States, so far as we have
been able to ascertain. It appears,
therefore, that more persons are kill
ed by live-wire accidents than are mas
sengers in railroad train accidents and
the difference might be still greater if
complete statistics of the former were
obtained. There have been widespread
and persistent efforts made by the pub-
lie in various ways for many years to
minimize train accidents by legislation
and by agitation in the press and by
investigation and recommendations on
the part of railroad commissions. but
the serious mortality due to live-wire
accidents does not appear to have at
tracted much attention from the pub
lie There are simple and obvious
means, which we suppose are not very
expensive, for preventing accidents of
this class; but until the public realizes
the seriousness of the situation and the
practieability of remedying it probably
little will be done. We suggest this
subject as an interesting one for the
daily newspapers.

AN INTERESTING FIRM.
What 1t is Doing Toward building Or
the West.

sAAl " EbNp
An interesting half day might he
spent in the mandatory of Hewlett
Bros. company in Salt Lake. This
firm is known throughout the inter-
mountain region, and its history has
been one of fair dealing, growth and
development for ten years.
About ten years ago the business
was commenced in a one-story frame
building. The making and bottling of
root beer, cider and soda water were
the chief items of manufacture. They
made their own extracts for use in the
preparations enumerated above, and it
was the phenomenal success attained
IN putting up these favored drinks
which led to the manufacture of the
now celebrated Three Crown Triple
extracts which today are giving such
universal satisfaction on the market.
They manufacture these extracts
from natural fruit, hence their elegant.
satisfying flavor. The freshness and
purity of all these goods is a special
recommendation which is not over.
looked.
An important item is Three Crown
Baking Powder. Analytical tests OF
all baking powders in use have proven
that none are more pure, or of greater
strength, than the above brand.
The firm further conceived the idea
OF grinding spices, and when the West
ern Spice Mills failed, they bought the
plant of the defunct concern and added
to 1t until they now have capacity of
i've tons of ground spices per day.
These spices are ground fresh every
day, and delivered to customers with
all their strength. which accounts for
their popularity.
Their building is an extensive strue-
ture, and has been added to from time
to time. Last year structure 3Ox5O
feet, two stories, was added, and they
have again become crowded for space.
which will necessitate further addi-
ton.
At Pocatello they have even larger
plant than the one in Salt Lake, built
specially to handle their growing bust
ness in the northwest.
