STREET RAILWAY DEVICES.
Amsng Them . Scheme to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.


doctors Honest.
It 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
scheme which, SO far as any one knows,
has never yet been circumvented by
conductor. Indeed. it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance of 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 rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder il
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle Is hung upon q
special hook and must there remain nm
til more passengers board the car.
The cars Of the trolley line between
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent aoci-
dents to passengers careless in stepping
ON and OF. 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 .
full stop and CLOSES them before IL
starts again. Controlled BY the same
lever ~ 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 q 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

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE
SHAKERS.

An Interesting, God-Fearing people
Who Have Given The World Many
Important discoveries.
We may not accept their peculiar
religious beliefs nor can we enter into
the spirit of their sacrifices. 1t is not
necessary to believe as they do, but
we can and do respect their sincerity
of purpose and the honor and uprig-
ness which marks all their business
dealings.
The Shakers have always been sue
cessful inventors, and some of the
greatest of the conveniences of the
present day found origin in their set
Elements. f
In one particular they excel all other
men or classes of men and that is in
cultivation of medicinal herbs, and
plants and their preparation for use.
They have made it study for more
than one hundred years 1t is one Of
their peculiar industries. Their lives
have been devoted to it.
Their latest and greatest achieve
ment is the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t is not offered as cure for all
diseases. 1t does not pretend to be,
but one disease it will cure and that
is Indigestion.
Sufferers who resort to its use have
not long to wait to see the result.
The effect is almost immediate. The
first dose usually gives relief and il
continued permanent cure will fol-
low.
1t not only contains already d.
gested food, but it digeSts food as
well, thus toning up the general sys-

being issued by the Shakers and can
be had for the asking at almost any

gestive Cordial and see what it will do

wILLIAMsoN's COTTON REPORT

Georgetown, Texas, Sept. 11.-(Spe-

the following with reference to the
cotton crop.
There was just twice as much cot
ton received this time last year (2,500
bales as received TO date this year
1,250 bales.
A month ago he estimated the re-

Cotton will be pretty well picked
out by October 10.
Worms continue their ravishes with
unusual zeal.
This applies pretty well to all ship
