vestigators examined the contrivances
whose rights they have since purchased,
they have unhesitatingly decided that
they had the solution of the vexed
problem.
They consulted the greatest cleo
trical traction engineers in Great Brit
ain as to the financial aspect of the I'M
dertaking before making the plunge.
and Messrs. Kincaid, Waller and Man
vile reported that the cabs they are
about to put upon the streets are ''prac-
tically noiseless and vibrationless, easy
of control, and extremely economical in
maintenance" These experts further
stated that 1t was their fixed opinion
that electric traction for hackney car
riages must supersede horse traction"
The same firm has made an estimate
as to the relative cost of an autocab and
the common hanson cab. This brings
out that the cost per day of the electric
car, including all the capital charges,
is $l.35, as compared with $2.93, which
every owner of q hanson cab charges
his driver. This difference alone rep
resents a profit of $4,000 to the Lon
don Electric Cab company on stock
of $50 cabs.

AN ODD MISTAKE.
A Sleeping Car Incident IL Woman
Steals a Mans Trousers.

otealS MANS trousers.
Lots Of funny things happen OF
sleeping cars. Every travelling mar
can tell you stories concerning them
Here is one that occurred on tho
New York Central, as told by Mr..
e. ]. Radcliffe, the leading man OF
1.-THE Two Little Migrants com
pany:
1T was about six o'clock one
morning last mid winter" said Mr..
Radcliffe, that the occupants Of the
Wagner in which I was resting were
aroused from their slumbers by a
vigorous bucolic voice from the mid
die section. Stop that womanP it
cried, she's got my pants and all
my money. The porter dashedlup
the aisle in time to SEQ female
figure disappear through the door of
the ladies' dressing room An ex-
PLANTATION from the owner of tho big
voice, who had jumped out of the
upper berth in his balloon-like
jeans, demonstrated that his
trousers had indeed gone. A vigor-
GUS humping at the door of the
dressing room ensued, the porter
calling out: Como out at once
madam, and give the gentleman his
pants.
How dare you, sirf came the
indignant and almost hysterical re-
ply. Go faway-go away, l say.
I'll report you, I'll have you ar
rested. Call the conductor, and so
on. That pompous and bebuttoned
individual was called and he, too,
becoming convinced that those in
dispensable parts of masculine at
tire, together with the money they
contained, had been purloined, also
demanded that the lady should
emerge and give them up. More in
dignation and more hysterical out
bursts followed, ornamented bv
threats toFue the company for this
insult to an unprotected female.
Finally she came out, an aged, angu-
lar bespectacled individual, with
eyes flashing and giving utterance
to o running fire of all the dire
things that would happen when she
could communicate with her hus-
band and lawyer. There she is,
shouted the owner of the missing
garments, and she's got EN- on.
Sure enough, she had, and all the
occupants of the car, who had their
heads through the curtain by this
time, roared with laughter. There
they were, snugly wrapped around
her shoulders. She had occupied
the berth below the farmer, and in
the dim light of the car had taken
his neither garments, ponderous and
affairs, from the hook
where they had been hanging, mis-
taking them for her own wrap,
which turned out to be almost of the
same color. l have not heard of
any suit being brought against the
company. Boston Herald.

A PHASE OF IMPATIENCE.
The Weakness of Character Behind
Premature Decisions.

What is regarded as promptitude
and decision of chara cter is some
times nothing more than impatience
or the inability to control oneself
while in suspense. It is not always
because your friend has thought the
situation through and reached we'll
grounded conclusions that he urges
that some definite action be taken
and matters pressed to a conclusion.
His decisive and peremptory tone
may simply be due to his desire to
have the thing settled one way or
the other without delay, because he
is constitutionally incapable of pa
tiently awaiting the developments
upon which any wise decision must
rest. 1t requires much self-control
when grave matters are at stake not
to jump to a conclusion through
sheer impotence and restiveness
under uncertainty. Many of the
mistakes that men make in business
can be traced to this infirmity
They commit themselves to this and
that enterprise because they will
not take time to give the matter
consideration in all of it's bearings.
They leap in the dark. The mood
which leads one to keep ques ton
open, the attitude of hesitant wait
ing for further light, and the pa
tient disposition which notes, studies
and compares before acting are re-
pugnant to them. 1t is for this rea-
son that the men who have the
greatest regulations for prompt
tude and dispatch are sometimes the
least successful in the management
of their own or of other peoples af-
fairs. Their apparent alertness and
decision is really inability to sus-
pend Judgment, Boston Waterman.

sweden's Mineral Resources.

Sweden is unusually rich in min
eral resources, and mining is one of
the leading industries. Iron ore is
particularly abundant, and Swedish
iron and steel, famed the world over
for their excellent quality, form one
of the principal articles of export,
ranking second only to lumber in
Importance. The output of the iron
mines more than doubled during the
five years ending with 1894, aud the
supply is said TO DO practically in
exhaustible. Although iron is by
far the most important ore, gold,
silver lead, copper, zinc and man
ganese are mined quite extensively.
In the southern portions of the king
dom coal is found in considerable

They are taken way by the disease
which causes over one sixth of all the
deaths in the world the disease
which doctors call consumption.
There is absolutely no reason in the
world why consumption should be
fatal why it should be even serious
1t is disease of the blood, and can
be cured absolutely and always by
purifying and enrlching the blood.
The only exception to this is the
case where the disease has been neg
lected and improperly treated until
it is stronger than the body-until
the body has become 80 weak as to
have lost the ability to recGperate.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-

The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-04-21

The enthusiasm over whist by the
women Of Lynn, Mass. has excited the
condemnation of the Rev. w. T. Worth
Of that town. In q recent sermon ON
gaming, and ON whist in particular, Mr..
Worth cited an instance where ladies
have been accustomed to play in one of
the fashionable clubhouses afternoon
and evening and have lately commenced
to play mornings, and, so as not to lose
any time, arc said to carry their lunch
con. This, he said, is an enthusiasm
which leads some women to neglect
their families. An effort had been made
in the Lenten season to hold appropriate
services in a certain church, but the in
tcrest was so great in whist parties that
only four persons were present one even
ing at tho meeting, while number Of
whist parties were in progress at the
same time. t

Mr. Finch was seated in chair at his
desk with his left arm hanging over the
arm of the chair, in which he clutched
o revolver with all the chambers loaded
save one, in which remained an empty
shell, from which had been fired the
bullet that killed him. In his right
hand, resting OH the desk, was a screw
driver, with which he had doubtless
been tinkering with the revolver.
On the desk was also bottle Of oil.
The bullet penetrated his left eye and
remained imbedded in the brain. Death

THOUGHTFUL THIEVES.


Mice Replace with other Articles All
the Things They Steal.
There is a mouse in Florida locally
known as the trading mouse. 1t is com
monty a woods mouse, but it quickly
adapts itself to human habitation. A
colony OK such mice carried two bushels
Of shelled beans 30 feet during six
nights recently and replaced the beans
with seed pods of weed.
Jewelry, too, has been taken by these
little traders. One woman ON the east
coast of Florida at an Indian river win
ter resort found number of seed in
stead of pair of earrings that she had
left on the bureau. A search in the
place where the seeds had been taken
disclosed the earrings.
A man who had box of poker chips
in his room in an open topped box was
surprised to find in their stead string
of prayer beads, small crucifix and a
number of shells. He started an investi-
cation Immediately. A priest who had
roomed near by was equally puzzled by
finding the colored poker chips in his
room.
1t is generally believed that the trad
ing mouse learns its curious ways by
robbing squirrels or blue jays of nuts
laid by for future use.

denuded body in the penetrating fluid,
but five minutes later he was prancing
around the race track without stitch

A crowd was soon attracted to the

several rushed to his rescue, believing
he was attempting suicide. But az the
turpentine burned as strongly under the
water as it did out of it the tortured
tramp rushed from the cold waters and
resumed his race through the mud,
bowling more feebly each moment until
