MARIE.

Marie has just passed by our house.
She has a new jacket on. This makes
two new jackets this winter. and
know she has three capes-five new
winter wraps. She has an American
Beauty pinned against her fur collar.
She looks like a picture from the Bon
Ton" She was at party last night,
and at one the night before. This
morning I saw two white kid slippers
lying in the alley; they were stained
dark and the heels pretty badly turned.
/ have seen white slippers on the ash
pile twice before. The children carry
them away. / know they are Marie's.
for they are very small and pointed.
and no one else in the neighborhood
wears such slippers. l have lived in
this part Of town three months. l see
Marie very often. and every time l
think that she looks prettier. All.
Marie is coming back. She must have
forgotten something. Yes. il is her

Two very attractive early Autumn tours
will be run by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, leaving New York and Philadel.
phia September 28 and October 12.
1t is hardly necessary to say that these
outings are planned with the utmost care
and that all arrangements are adjusted so as
to afford the best possible means of visiting
each place to the best advantage.
The tours each cover a period of eleven
days. and include the battlefield of Gettys-
burg, picturesque Blue Mountains, Luray
Caverns, the Natural Bridge, Virginia Hot
Springs, the cities of Richmond and Wash
ington, and Mt Yernan.
The round.trip rate, including all neces-
sary expenses, is S65 from New York, S63
from Philadelphia, and proportienate rates
from other points.
Each tour will be in charge of one Of the
cOmpany's tourist agents. He will be assisted
by an experienced lady as Chaperon, whose
especial charge will be ladies unaccompanied
by male escort
Special trains Of parlor cars are provided
for the exclusive use Of each party, in which
the entire round trip from New York is
made.
For detailed itinerary apply to Ticket
Agents or to Tourist Agent, 1896 Broadway,
New York, or Geo. w. Boyd, Assistant
General Passenger Agent, Broad Street
Station, Philadelphia.

FINANCE AND TRADE
Statistics of Failures show an En-
cournging Change.

couraglng Change.
New York, oct. 2.-R. G.. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review Of trade says: The fall
ures during the third quarter of 1897,
obtained yesterday by telegraph, were
2903, with liabilities of $2S, 963, ,261, Of
which 20 were In banking for SS,9S7, 069.
Commercial failure were 1874, with La
biliues of S25 576, 1872 averaging only
$500 EACH lower than in any quarter
for % years. The amount of defaulted
liabilities Is the smallest in any quar-
ter for five years, and in 10 years only
six quarters have shown smaller LA
bilities. Manufacturing failures were
651, with liabilities of $9,431,191, averag-
ing but S14487 each, and trading fail
ures were 2,164, with liabilities of $l2.-
1926, ,065, averaging but S5 927 each, both
smaller in average of liabilities than in
any previous year Of which classified
records exist.
These evidences Of revivlng prosper
ity are the more important because
prices for most manufactured products
have advanced but moderately, and are
much below the level of 1892, while
speculative markets are all declining
with curious unanimity, as If the large
crops which make grain and cotton
weak would not assure increased busi-
ness to railways and warrant better
prices for stocks. Speculation in wheat
and cotton has been set back by bright
crop prospects. The price of wheat has
declined five cents, and of corn nearly
two cents for the week. Dismal re-
ports about cotton have been frequent,
but the market shows more faith in
predictions Of large yield, and the
price has declined a quarter of a cent
for the week.
Turning from speculative markets to
! productive industry the change in tone
! is striking. All industries are pushed
! to increase the working force, with oc-
casional rise in the rate Of wages by
| the growing demand This is largely
| for the replenishment Of stocks, but
dispatches show that the retail trade
at nearly all northern points continues
! to expand, and dealers well know that
the Increase of the working force and
| of wages insures a larger distribution
Of goods.

A LIFE SAVING DEVICE.
Prevents Railroad Accidents Thror

Prevents Railroad Accidents Through
Forgetfulness Of Engineers.
st. Paul, Oct. "A very ingenious
and valuable contrivance for the saw
ing of life by preventing railroad ac-
cidents through forgetfulness of train
men has been invented. The machine
has just stood a very severe test on
the Great Northern railroad, after hav-
ing been previously operated success
fully on the st. Louis and Duluth road.
Practical railroad men In this section
have given strong endorsements to the
device after seeing 1t work. The OBJ
ject Of the device is to provide an ac-
curate and reliable reminder signal
and distance indicator for locomotives,
by means Of which engineers are pre-
vented from forgetting their train
orders as to stopping OF meeting
points.
The mechanism is simple, but posi-
lively connected with the forward
trucks Of the engine, thereby accurately
measuring the distance Travelled, the
dial placed in front of the engineer
showing correctly the distance Travelled.
Above the dial are placed 10 triggers,
or dogs piyoted at equal distances
around the center. When the engineer
receives his orders he sets one or more
Of these triggers to a point one mile
short Of the distance Travelled before
reaching the stopping place. The
mileage indicator, on reaching such
point releases the trigger, which starts
a signal whistle blowing. This con-
tinues to blow for one-quarter Of a
mile, promptly warning the engineer
Of the near approach to the stopping
place.
If the engineer Is inattentive, and
fails to stop when this last mile has
been run over, the machine sets the
airbrake and stops the train for him.
A train similarly equipped coming In
the opposite direction would be stopped
in the same manner and a collision be
prevented. The device can be made
to run forward or backward. For
foggy or stormy weather, or for dark
nights, the device is considered es-
pecially valuable for ordinary road use
although its life saving feature was
the point first sought.

ABOLISH BOARD OF HEALTH
Deputy Attorney General Reeder Defines
Powers of Third Glass Cities.

Powers of Third-Class Cities.
Deputy Attorney General Reeder has
transmitted TO DR.. Benjamin Lee, secretary
of the State Board of Health, a written
opinion in which he takes the ground that
the proposed action of the City Council of
McKeespOrt to abolish tho Board of Health
and substitute therefor a committee of
Council is clearly within the letter and spirit
of the law aud is entirely legal.
Mr.. Reeder holds that the powers vested in
third-class cities clearly gives such cities the
right to such ordinances to carry out the
provisions and purposes of their charter,
especially with reference to the general
health of the inhabitants.
The act governing such cities does not pro-
vide that this shall be accomplished by or
through a Board of Health, but may be ac-
c0mplished by or through a committee of the
City Council for that purpose. The language
of this section of the act, Mr. Reeder adds,
clearly contemplates that the city can use its
discretion, whether to accomplish this pur-
pose through a Board of Health or by a
committee of Council.
The decision was given in response to a re-
quest by DR.. Lee for an official opinion as to
whether or not the proposed action Of the
McKeesport Council would be legal.
