NO MORE ACCIDENTS.
A Device Patented to Prevent Englncc
From Forgetting.

From Forgetting.
St. Paul. Oct. IA very ingenious
and valuable contrivancc for the say
ing of life by preventing railroad ac-
cidents through forgetfulncss Of train
men has been invented. The ma
chine has just stood a very severe
test on the Great Northern railroad,
after having been previously opcrat-
cd on the St, Paul & Duluth road.
Practical railroad men in this section
have given strong endorsements to
the device after seeing it's work. The
object of the device is to provide an
accurate and reliable reminder signal
and distance indicator for locomo-
tiyes, by which engineers are pre-.
vented from forgetting their train
orders as to stopping. o. meeting
places. .s@

promptly, warning the. engineer Of a
near approach to the stopping place.
If the engineer is inattcntive and
fails to stop when this last mile has
been run over, the machine sets the
air brake anC stops tlso train fo: him.
! A train similarly equipped coming in
4 the opposite direction would be stop

vice can be made totrur forward OF

is considered especially valuable fo1

In the territorial days, before

pioneers and INDIANS and the terri

to the far east, there was heard in
the United States district court a
noteworthy bit of gentlemanly sar~
scasm we'll worthy ofrepetition.
Gilman Folsom of the Iowa City

school gentleman, had occasion to
;try a .case.in that court before a
Judge .eonfessedly young in years

Ehad secured the place because Of
tpolitical influence rather than on
account of his eminent fitness for
the judicial ernine. 'Opposed to
Folsom in the case was. the United
States district attorney, who, :lilxe
the Judge, had been appointed for
political reasQns.instead of his abil-

During; the trial Of the case Fol

tesy and politeness, continually re-
fferredhto and addressed the district
attorney as my learned opponent. "
The judge was also characterized as
tthe Learned COURT The district
attorney, fully conscious Of his own
shortcomings and realizing the little
aclaim he had to the adjective, felt
instinctively that he was being
made a subject Of ridicule. He
hdgeted around until 1t seemed to
him that patience had ceased, to be
a virtue, and then appealed to the
court, asking that Mr.. Folsom be
required to:desist in his persistent
sarcastic references to him as my
learned opponent"
When informed by the court that
his sarcasm was unnecessary and
uncalled for, Folsom looked up with
a we'll affected air Of surprise and
said, with the inimitable accent and
grace Of the old school gentleman

He then proceeded with his argu-

district attorney and the judge as
learned. The judge soon interrupt

buke for his persistent sarcasm, tell

Folsom protested, saying:
