ONIONS ARE BARRED.
Cincinnati Street Car Men Are Re-
stricted as to Diet.
strong, Gsrliclxy Breath Offensive to
Dainty Lady Passengers and
They Lodge a Successful
Protest.

A new order goes into effect with all
conductors employed by the Cincn-
natl (O.) Street Railway company. The
order is a sweeping one and was insti-
gated by a number of ladies. Conduc-
tors are ordered not to eat onions with
in "a hours of going on duty. 1t was
this rare old king of garden truck that
brought it all about, together with the
delicately constituted females. One
day last week Mr.. Kilgour was visited
by delegation of the company's fe-
male patrons. who informed him that
onions Eust go. and so they must. They
stated their case with savage sincerity.
and made it so plain to the president
that he has undertaken to shut onions
out of the conductors diet while on
duty.
If, however, the conductor can eat
onions or garlic in such a manner as
to prevent any of their fragrance es-
Gaping with his breath it is under
stood that he will be allowed the bene-
fit of the invention. For instance, if a
conductor cares to sprinkle sufficient
chloride of lime over his onion sand
| wich to kill either himself or the smell,
or both, he escapes the order. He will
also be allowed to muzzle his mouth
with horse sponge soaked in carbolic
acid and asafetda while collecting
fares. Onions cooked in soup are not
| desired in his fare, nor will great dea,
of soup of any kind be tolerated. The
| old reliable Hamburg steak has had its
inning and will not any longer be found
upon the street car conductors bill of
| fare, unless he can invent some way of
taking it in capsules. The street car
conductor must turn over a new leaf,
and there must be no onions on it. He
must make up again with matted milk
and go back to porridges of less nutri-
| tive and less offensive kinds.
Only last week about 90 Cummins-
| vile ladies rode into town with a con-
ductor who had eaten onions for din
ner, and SO soon as they landed in the
city they adjourned in a body to Mr.
Kilgour's office. Many ladies of Mount
Auburn are kicking. while great many
more who live in Clifton are up in arms
Walnut Hills has sent in her petitions
but from ali sides the kicks and the peti-
tons are from ladies, and all are down
on onions as used by street car con.

AFTER VENEZUELA TRADE.
Indiana Manufacturer Thinl< l<r a Great
business Can &c Done BY
American Merchants.

Marland Il. Gardner, secretary of the
Underwood Manufacturing company, of
Wabash, Ind, has just returned from
months trip to South America, whittier
he went with the purpose of establish
ing trade for his line of goods.
His vessel reached Caracas, Vene-
zuela, Sunday evening, March %, and
from that city he went to all parts of
the country, making ten different trips.
Mr.. Gardner says that from his observa-
tion the Venezuelan market affords q
fine field for American manufacturers,
and the fact that our export trade to
that country is now so limited is due
wholly to the Indifference Of Americans
and the activity Of the French and
Germans.
While Mr.. Gardner was at Caracas the
mammoth warehouse erected under the
direction Of the American Manufactur-
ers' association for the exhibition and
sale Of American wares was thrown
open. II cost 00,O00, and II destined
to be an important accessory to the
creation Of profitable trade relations be-
tween the two countries. No goods
are sold at the warehouse direct, but
the samples are there shown.
Mr.. Gardner will immediately send
large number Of samples of goods
made by his company to the Caracas
warehouse, and will push energetically
to build up a trade.

The boat is a catamaran. 1t will be
20 feet long, and the total width from
other will be about 25 feet. The craft
will draw about 2h feet of water.
There will be a big stern wheel, and the
same power which turns this wheel will

chinery. Near the bow of the boat will
be derrick and attached to one arm of
the derrick will be an endless chain Of
buckets. The derrick arm may be
thrust into the water to a depth of 20
feet.

Many of Them Discouraged by the
Hardships Met mt Chilkat and

Many Klondikers are returning. or

encouragement on the trails and the
loss of life caused by the Chilkat ava

the Klondike, but concluded to sell their
outfits and return. They say that many
will follow them.
Those who have reached the SUBMITS

reported to be moving rapidly forward.
Since the storm of two weeks ago good
weather has prevailed in the interior,
and thousands are starting down the
lake, hoping to reach the Lewis river,
at the foot of Lake La Barge, before the
ice breaks up. Their sleds are fitted
with sails. and when the south wind 10

may be seen gliding over the smooth
lake ice toward the gold land.
All reports from Dawson are encour-
aging except as regards scurvy and
pneumonia, which has prevailed there
since February. j. E. Ray, of Detroit,
who arrived the other night, says the
Dawson hospital was full on March q,
when he left, and DR.. Leblack said
there was not room for another cot.
The scurvy is caused by uncooked
food and uncleanliness. Ray says the
victim is himself to blame in nearly
every instance. The pneumonia cases
are generally men who have become ex-
hausted while searching for claims.
Important gold finds have been made
on Barney creek, a tributary of Seventy
Mile creek, which empties into the Yu-
kon on the American side 100 miles be-
low Dawson. The diggings are SO miles
above Seventy Mile creeks mouth. The
gold is very pure, being worth two dol

THROWS DYNAMITE BOMBS.
Pneumatic GunbOat Vesuvius Stands
o Successful Practical Test in
Narraganset Bay.

The pneumatic gun boat, Vesuvius,
successfully fred loaded shell from
her guns in Narragansett bay the other
day. She was out all the morning, and
after throwing dummy projectiles for
line fire and distance adjustment she
closed into the lower range of the
Measured Mile Course" and dis
charged her thee guns in close connec-
tion. The first two were apparently
dummy shells, but the third shot
plowed along some distance and then a
great column of water was thrown into
the air which opened umbrella-like be-
fore it descended. The trial was pro-
nOunced most successful.

-spAIN's RIFLE SHOOTS HARD.
Fires q Small Caliber Bullet But Il
KILLS Quickly OF Else the Wounded
Quickly Get Well.

Army surgeons have been looking
into the effect Of the small caliber bull
let which in the modern rife attains q
fearful velocity. The reports in the
bureau Of information show that the
Spanish government uses Mauser
rifle, model Of 1892, Of caliber .27e
inches. It has a knife bayonet and
throws shell Of 39s grains weight, and
100 of these shells are carried by each
soldier. The bullet is covered with
maillechort, or copper, and is cylindro-
conoidal in shape. Smokeless powder
II used. The initial velocity is 2,285
feet per second. There have been cam
paigns in Africa with these small
caliber rifles and the British surgeons
have furnished reports Of the effects.
Our own surgeons say that the Span
ish rife will kin more men than the old
time weapons and that the effect of the
modern bullet is 10 kill quickly. Men
who are shot in the head or abdomen
will die on the field. Those who survive
. battle will rapidly recover. The bull
let has the effect Of perforating bone
without fracturing 1t, and those who
are shot in many parts Of the body and
IN the arms or legs will snffer very lit
tie and will soon be ready for duty
again. There need be few athpstations,
and the lasting effect Of wounds will be
reduced to q minimum.
The principal advantage Of the mod
ern rifle and its swift bullet Is that
those who ought to die will be killed
Immediately. Most of those who go to
the hospitals will live.
