RAPID TRANSIT FOR BEER.
Horseless brewery Wagon Success-
fully Tested In st. Louis.

hOrSeIeSs brewery wagon SucceaS-
fully Tested in st. Louis.
After years of experiment, Herbert
Eennegan gave public demonstration
at St. Louis of his horseless brewery
wagon. The young inventor and his
partners invited the city officials and
number of prominent men to visit
the Cherokee garden at three p. m..
whence the steedless vehicle started.
ITS the most wonderful engine of
the age" said John A. Robinson, who
has an interest in the project. ''It is
only two feet long by 10 inches wide.
has 5A horsepower, and weighs only
500 pounds. 1t costs only 25 cents to
run ten hours, and pulls that big
brewery wagon up and down hills as if
it were racing bicycle. Young Hen
negan has invented new differential
engine, as engineers call it, and it will
work in stationary as well as locomo-
tive engines"

OBSTINATE TIME LOCK.
Continues to Run After Hours and
Thereby Causes Trouble.
Entrance to the vaults of "a Trust
Company of Boston Greatly De-
layed-Guards within Held
Prisoners.

There are some clocks that stop
when you don't wish them to, and there
are others that sometimes will keep on
running when it is desirable that they
should stop-at least there is one.' That
which controls the locks of the great
vaults of the State Street Trust COM
pany, in the basement of SO State street,
Boston, proved obstinate the other day.
1t was set to stop ut $3.50 in the morn
ing, and thus release the great iron
doors that stand as an effectual bar be-
tween the valuables contained in the
safes and the outside public. But when
the hour arrived the clock wheels kept
moving and the doors refused to open.
When the depositors began to arrive
at the hour when business begins they
found their valuables completely under
the control of the machine, and all there
was for them to do was to await pa
tiently the eccentric action of the deli
cate mechanism that controlled events.
They took in the situation good-na-
turedly, joked with the men who were
locked inside, and looked like prisoners
which they really were-behind the
grated doors, and hoped that the clock
would get tired before they did. All
inquiries were promptly and politely
answered by the gentlemen in charge.
but they were in fact no better informed
than those outside.
1T may be an hour, or it may be
| longer" they said, "but nothing can be
| done till the clock stops"
AT noon it was still ticking away with
| an exasperating regularity, but as it
could not, like the brook, go on forever,
it was only case of hope deferred.
At just 1880 the clock came to a
standstill and the doors were opened
without difficulty, releasing the impa-
tient guards on the inside and admit
ting the more impatient depositors on
the outside to their safes. The cause of
the trouble is yet unknown, but it will
be thoroughly investigated without de-
lay. Extra precautions will be taken to
prevent any such mishap again, and ex-
perts will be employed for this pur-
| pose.
Those who suffered the greatest in
convenience were the brokers, who had
contracts to deliver stock which they
had deposited for safety in the vaults
of the company.

TRADE WITH MEXICO INCREASES
Important Report Sent by Consul
Canada at Vera Cruz.


Canada at Vera Cruz.
William w. Canada, United States
consul at Vera Cruz, Mexico, has made
an important report to the secretary
of state on our commerce with Mexico,
in which he says that the commerce of
this country with Vera Cruz is increas-
ing rapidly. Imports into Mexico
through the port of Vera Cruz from
European countries have fallen off in
the last two years about Ia per cent,
while those from the United States have
grown in about the same extent.
In 1895 the United States had about
IS per cent. of the total import trade
of Vera Cruz city, and in 1897 it has
risen to 10 per cent. Consul Canada
says that the favor with which Eu-
ropean goods are received in Mexico is
not due to the superiority of the prod
uct, but to the fact that business firms
in Europe pay more attention to the
needs of the Mexican market.
The consul mentions the ignorance
of some Omitted States) shippers in re-
gard to the meaning of the term legal
weight" which includes not only the
weight of the merchandise, but the
weight of all inner packages and wrap
pers, only the extreme outside case be-
ing excluded. Fully 40 per cent. of the
commodities specified in the Mexican
tariff are dutiable on this basis, aud
in some cases, on account of the method
of packing, 80 per cent. of the dmty must
be paid on the useless wood.
The consul speaks of the defective
| translations of manufacturers cata-
| logues sent from the United States to
| Mexico. Hundreds of thousands of dol
| lars, he says, are actually thrown away
| in the United States in having transla-
tions made that are incomprehensible
to the people they are supposed to en-
| lighten.

8ACON AND LARD HOGS.
a Statement of the Demand for Then
Here and Abroad.

Here and Abroad.
Director Curtis, of the Iowa expert
mental station, has submitted to Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson com
parative report on English and Amcri-
can lard hogs, embracing the results
of tests to determine the best for food
and the prices received for each breed.
The report states that the market dis
elimination between the breeds is very
slight, only ten cents per 100 pounds in
favor of the Tamworts and Berkshires,
the English breeds. They sold for $3.s0
per 100. while all the others brought
S3.7O. All the breeds of hogs tested
made pork at substantially the same
price for raising, feeding, etc, about
two cents per pound. Secretary Wilson
says while the demand abroad may be
greater for the bacon hogs than for the
other the demand for lard hogs is as
great here as ever.

Bicycle Built for Two.

the latest bicycle girl rode down
Broad street yesterday. She was a

nearly fifty years. Her costume was
a marvel of antiquity, but it was not

which attracted the most attention.
On the handle-bar in front of her a
green parrot was perched. The bird
feathers were rufled by the wind and
Polly seemed to be enjoying the ride
immensely, for she chartered and
squawked and tapped her wings at a
great rate. There was a string tied to
the frame of the wheel and at the 9TH
er end of the line a small dog was Sc
curely tied. The little animal chased
along as best he could, barking enthu-
siastically. The big reserve police
man at Broad and Chestnut streets
motioned to the rider to stop.
"You're on the wrong side of the
street," said he. Don't do it again
or you'll be fined
The lady was inclined to be pugna-
cious. She complained that she would
not have been molested if her husband
had been with her.
"Well, why don't you bring him
along" said the reserve.
The lady blushcd and replied, quite
pathetically
