ANOTHER CHANGE.

Another important change proposed
by Chief Dolan's plan is in the nature
of an increase Of the force in the fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth districts
These districts comprise the territory
north of Fourth street to the Brandy
wine. and from Lombard to Madison
streets in the centre OF the
city. In this territory a majority oI
the streets Of the city are located. I'm
der the present system this territory is
generally covered by two patrolmen
during the day and two at night. I'm
der the proposed new plan Chief Dolan
aims to assign four additional officers
to this territory, two for day duty and
two for night duty. While this increase
will be the same on the night and day
forces, it is proposed more especially
for the day force in view of the trouble
the police have with schOol-boys who
fight on the streets and annoy pedes-
trians passing the schools.

THE NEW DITRICTs.

district will be known as the seven
teenth district. It covers the territory
living north Of Pennsylvania avenue
and west of Broome, and will include
the Highlands. .Kentmere and Bancroft s
Banhs.
The district. which at present COM
prises nearly all this territory Is the
sixteenth district In the creation Of
the new district Chief Dolan Topped off
small portions of the eleventh, twelfth.
and fifteen districts, which adjoin the
sixteenth district, and after adding
these portions TO the sixteenth district
cut the latter in half, making two dis
tricts of il.
The sixteenth district at present COM
prises all theterritory north of Eighth

vision of this district into two districts

Accident.

reached the turn near the old brick

direction with one horse express
violently collided with the team,
forcing the end OF thill into the
neck of one of the Doctors horses,
making serious wound of about
seven inches deep. Several stitch
es were taken in the wound, and it
is hoped the animal viii recover.
The place where the accident oc-
CURED is a very dangerous one to
drivers. One coming into town
cannot avoid a collision, as he is
blinded by the electric light, but
there is no excuse for a driver go-
ing out, as the light at his back
gives him an excellent view of the

Except in KanaWha.
CHARLEsroN, w. W,


CHARLESTON, w. Va. Sept. 29-
j. w. Paul, chief mine inspector
of this State. returned yesterday
from tour of inspection of the
coal fields along the Norfolk &
Western Railway and in the north
ern part of the State.
Mr.. aulreports that everywhere
in the State except in the Kama
wha district, the miners are at work.
Along the N. & w. every miner is
at work, except at the Maratime
Coal Company's mine, where in the
last few days a strike has been de-
cIared for local reasons.
The N. & w. is hauling more
coal now than ever before in its
history, and the mines are only
limited in their output BY the
scarcity of cars. Fourteen hundred
empties were taken into the field IN
one day last week. but they did not
last two days, the output being
about 800 cars a day. Everything
on wheels that will hold coal is be-
ing loaded.
On New River nearly all the men
are working steadily. At Fairmont
and in the Wheeling districts all
the men have gone back to work,
some of them accepting the opera
or's terms, while in the Wheeling
district the Ohio scale was agreed
to by the operators.
The Kauawha district is losing
business right along. and unless an
agreement is soon reached between
the operators and the men they
will find themselves without orders
when they do agree.

Fountain Pens Are Ancient.

Fountain Pens Are Ancient.
Fountain pens are rather older
than most people imagine. As
long ago as 1924 they were in use,
for in that year Thomas jefferson
saw a contrivance of this sort, tried
it, and wrote to General Bernard
Payton of Richmond, Va, asking
him to get one of them. The pen
was of gold and the ink tube OF
silver and, according to Jefferson's
letter, the maker was a Richmond
watch repairer. named Cowan.
The price, he understood, was S5.
The first American patent for a
fountain pen was granted in 1880
to one Douglas Hyde. but the ear
liest English patent was issued
twenty-one years before. Scien-
tific American.
