LOST IN CARS.
Articles Left I'm Sleeping Apartments
by the Passengers.

/
Some curious things are picked up
by sleeping car porters and goodly
proportion of them are turned over to
persons in authority to be restored 10
their owners if called for. The found"
bureau of palace car company often
affords an interesting study. An in
Vulnerable variety of ticketed articles
there displayed bears ocular testimony
10 the freaks of observation-disclosures.
There are pathetic as well as amusing
suggestions in these lost articles, for
some of them are obviously mementos
OF tender associations. A baby's tiny
worsted shoe, for instance, found in n
sleeping berth where no baby had
been, tells its own touching little story.
Each article, as soon as it is handed
70 the custodian of the "found" bureau,
Is made into a neat parcel and marked
with the day and hour of finding, name
of the sleeping car number of the train
and the name of the finder. Most of
these mislaid personal effects are found
under the seats or in the lavatories Of
the cars. Fully two-thirds of the wom
ems belongings which are picked up
by the sleeping car porters are toilet
articles or jewelry left in the lavatories.
II was only a few days ago that por-
ter found two valuable finger rings in
washbowl. They had been sucked into
the escape pipe together and fortunate
" became wedged there so that they
were not carried away by the outflow
ing water. The owner of the rings
said, when they were restored to her.
that she was "sure she had put
them in her satchel" and seemed
quite indignant at the temerity
of the porter in insisting that he found
them in the washbowl.
Umbrellas. canes and shawl-straps
constitute majority of the finds" in
sleeping cars. They are seldom re-
claimed although kept by the COM
pany's custodian for year. Some of
the oddities in the bureaus collection
may be enumerated as follows: One
white satin slipper, woman's bead and
lace bonnet, chatting dish, pair of trous-
ers. two hair switches, one set OF false
teeth, silver candlestick and wax can
die. one fine linen nightrobe, package OF
pcrfumcd letters tied with pink rib
bon, an ear trumpet, one crutch and
three or four Gagged birds.
One in a great while pockctbook
containing money is turned in at the
"found" bureau. Such "finds" are
quickly called for. The loss Of money
is usually discovered before the loser
leaves the car. consequently if it has
been mislaid on that particular car it
is searched for then and there. Pas
scngcrs usually feel for their money
the first thing after awakening in the
and. finding that all right. ar-
parently do not tax their minds with
else. Occasionally. however.
men who carry their money loosely in
their pockets lose it by pulling it out
with pair of gloves, handkerchief
or notebook. Not long ago the con-
ductor of n sleeping car which had Just
been emptied of its passengers in the
Grand Central station found $500 in
bills lying on the platform Just outside
the door. Tie took it to the Office of
the general superintendent and Il was
called for within an hour.-N. Y. Times.

City vs.. Country.
FRI m fba Svracpsa STANDARD

The model home is to be found in the city
Houses are constructed that hardship
Is banished from life. Summer or winter
is matter of slight concern to families
happily situated In modern dwellings. How
crude must seem the old farm house Of the
fathers or the newer and hardly better
farm house Of today. After spending a few
years in their fine city home family Is
tormented by a few weeks residence in
the old country homestead. And the rural
people themselves. when they come to town
for visit and fit themselves to the con-
veniences of the day, are less than human
IL they do not straightway form a deter
mination to abandon the crude life that
has held them so long and put themselves
en- footing with the best in the city. But
walt a bit. There is another view to take.
The parade has a hidden side. The red
sash and silver stirrups are binding to one
who has seen only them. Let the rural
seeker after better things make his COM
parison with the average life in the city
rather than the highest type. AS compared
with his rustic comforts the home life of
his equals in the city IL pitifully unsatis-
flying. Improvidence marks the habit of
SO many of the people in all cities. They
know nothing whatever about laying in
supply OF life's necessities. Whatever they
happen to have in the bank is all their
store. When that is exhausted nothing
stands between them and tomorrow,s need
except the uncertain income of the day.
Life with so large a part of the people OF
q city Ia founded on shifting sands. From
the very nature OF things this is likely to
remain their condition and habit.

THEY WILL BE LIBERATED
Competitor Prisoners to Be Included in the
Offer Of Amnesty.
Real Reason Why Their Trial was
POstpOned-Enect of This Exten-
sion OF CIcmency.

The State Department has been officially
advised that the Competitor prisoners will
be included in the terms Of the proclama-
ton of general amnesty to prisoners in
Cuba, about to be issued by Captain Cen
erai Bianco, i'll accordance with instruc-
tions from the Spanish ministry. 1t Is init
mated that the postponement of the trial
OF the Competitor crew was based upon
official notification to the above effect
from Madrid. and not altogether on ac-
count of the illness Of the president of the
court-martial, as stated In the press dis
Patches from Havana last Monday.
The exercise of clemency in this case, as
well as other acts of the Spanish ministry
since the present liberal administration
came into power has satisfied the Presi-
ment that the Spanish authorities are in
earnest In their stated purpose of meeting
the wishes of this government for an anne
loration of conditions in Cuba, and to re-
move. so FAR as possible, all grounds of fric-
ton between the two governments in the
conouct of Cuban affairs. The revocation
OF Gen. Weyler's concentration order the
recall or Weyler aid the pardon of the
competitor prisoners are cited as strong
evidences of the desire of Spain to remain
on friendly footing with the United
States.
In view Of what Spain has done already
IN improving its methods in Cuba, 1t is said
that President Mckinley and his cabinet
are disposed to grant reasonable time Tor
redemption of its promises for other radical
reforms In the administration of affairs in
Cuba intended directly for the benefit of
the Inhabitants.
senor Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish minis
ter called at the State Department this
morning in company with Senior Canalejas
the distinguished Spanish statesman, now
ON visit to this country, and had a short
Interview with Secretary Sherman and AS
slstant Secretary Day.
The Spanish minister will give dinner
at the Metropolitan Club this evening in
honor of Senior Canalejas. Invitations to
attend have been issued to members of
the cabinet justices of the Supreme Court,
congressman and other prominent officials.
so 1t is likely the dinner will be quite an
elaborate affair

Tools Buried in Cement.
From the Philadelphia Record

After lying undisturbed for nearly a
quarter Of century workmen at Cramps
drydock have brought to light several
hundred dollars worth of valuable ma
chinists' tools. which had been imbedded
il the cement in the hull of tine American
Line steamship Illinois. Despite their long
stay In the hold of the vessel the tools
were all in perfect condition and as sound
as the day they were left behind and for
gotten. prior to the launch Of the steam
ship at Cramps shipyard in 1873.
On her last voyage from Antwerp to
Philadelphia the Illinois struck on the
Hen and Chickens Shoals. off Cape Hen
lopen, and was badly damaged, narrowly
escaping total destruction. She pounded
heavily for two hours while lying on the
shoals. bending ard fracturing several of
her plates rear the keel. On her arrival in
Philadelphia her agents ordered her to be
locked after her cargo had been discharged
for necessary repairs.
The mechanics began cutting away the
iron plates IN the forward part of the YES
sci, ard, after that work had been COM
pleted. started to remove the cement under
the floor of the vessel. While at this task
the discovery was made of the tools used
by riveters and machinists and left in the
hold many years ago. The number in
cluded hammers, chisels, tongs and other
tools.

THE COTTON CROP.

Reports Indicate an Average Yield
of 1S1.9 Pounds to the Acre.
Preliminary reports to the statistician of
the Department of Agriculture indicate an
average yield of-1Sl.9 pounds of lint cotton
per acre. The principal state averages are
as follows: North Carolina. 1874; South Caro-
lima, $50; Georgia, -17s; Alabama, 155; Mis-
sissippi. 900: Louisiana, 245; Texas, 165: Ar
kansas, 215: Tennessee, 1872; Oklahoma. 2o5:
Indian territory, 800.
In the main the crop has been picked In
excellent condition, the weather having
been highly favorable. There Is not the
slightest apparent disposition on the part
OF the departments large corps Of cor
respondents to overestimate the effect of
unfavorable conditions during the growing
season or to conceal or minimize the i'm
portance of such conditions as have been
favorable. and, while the figures now pub
lished are subject to revision in the final
report. they are believed to approximately
represent the actual condition of the crop.

DIPHTHERIA PREVALENT.
Fears That 1t May become Epidemic
in Mt. Pleasant.

F'ears That 1t May become Epidemic
in Mt. Pleasant.
1t is feared by the citizens that unless
strenuous measures are taken there will be
an epidemic of diphtheria in Mount Pleas
ant, a number of children who have been
attending the Johnson School having been
stricken. and some of them being in a very
dangerous condition. 1t is asserted that
the health office las been derelict in the
matter, for the reason that, while the Off
Gals reported two cases last month, they
have given no notice of any this month.
The cases which were reported in Oc-
tober were those of Walter Burdett. 1413
Howard avenue, October 6, and Ethel
Tamin osian, at the Victoria flats. Miss
Clara G. Brewer, principal of the school,
says that those cases were the only ones
reported to her by the health Office, but
she knows of others. She cannot under
stand. she says, why the health office has
not reported them.
Little Clarence Rose, living on Harvard
avenue between 14th and 18th streets Is
very ill. and two children named Calm liv-
Ing In Holmead Manor, are also dangerous
ly i'll. A child named kohler, living on
Oak street, Is also very sick.
Miss Brewer says that these cases were
brought to her notice Monday morning
The children have been away from the
school for several days. The school rooms
In which the children now having the dis
ease had been located were fumigated last
Saturday. The office also sent word today
that the building would be fumigated the
coming Saturday.
Miss Brewer told The Star reporter that
she had taken every precaution to avoid
the spread Of the disease. When she re-
ceived the notifications from the health Of
flee. October 6 and %, she sent the notices
to every teacher in the school, as is al
ways done. They took care to see that no
children from the same houses in which
the sick ones lived were admitted to the
school.
Inquiry was also made by the teachers in
the neighborhood to find out If there were
any additional cases anywhere. All the
children who are attending school from the
houses, or near them. are sent home
Miss Brewer stated that she had en-
deavored to find out il there are any new
cases.
She said she did not have any idea the
disease existed until she received the noti-
fcation October g. When she received the
one October % she might have supposed
that the diphtheria was stamped out. 1t
was only by inquiry and information given
by persons in the vicinity that she knew
there were other cases. The children were
away from school, of course, but she did
not know why.
The rule followed in such cases is for the
attending physician to notify the health
ONCE which In turn sends notifications to
the principal Of the school which the chill
dren have been attending. The health Of
flee, it is claimed, did not follow the rule in
the recent cases.
