To the Euitor of the Journal and Courier:
 Now that the Consolidated railroad controls about all the lines of travel by land and water between those two great terminal cities, 1t would be most definite and fitting to give to the cor- poration the above title. In so doing there would be also a saving over the present of at least one third of the amount of the letteiing of rolling stock, and of the printing of the name in all business documents, which, with it's present or prospective greatness would be a financial consideration of suffi- cient weight to encourage a shorter as well as more comprehensive name N. r., N. H. x H. has done a creditable service heretofore, but it is now too provincial and restricted and if not misleading, is at least a misnomer.

poisoning have lately come to light, some of them, partial, but the majority total and incurable; that the lead-pois- oning is admitted by the authorities to be increasing, and that the cases re- ported from the potteries number some hundreds every year; that the employ CTS are accustomed to do little or noth- ing for their injured workpeople; that the methods of production pursued are guided, not by soience--there is said to be not one consulting chemist in the potteries-but by rule of thumb. The unfortunate operatives, according to this witness, have to choose between the risk of lead-poisoning and the cer- tainty of want or destitution. They see their neighbors struck down with lead collie and drop-wrist. and recovering and going back to work. They have nothing else to turn to when they get better. There are multitudes of boys and girls, and of women, who have to keep themselves, and perhaps their parents as well, in q district where the trade conditions are such as to make men and women old at forty. It Is claimed that much, if not all, of this disease could be avoided if the use of raw lead in glazing were prohibited, and all lead were ordered to be ''frit- ted''--that is, rendered insoluble.

ANOTHER STORY.

Lately there has been some talk that Speaker Reed would be without honor in his own district this fall. This kind of talk would be important if it were true, but a man who ought to know says it isn't true. The man is Joe"
 Manley, chairman of the Republican State committee of Maine. He says:
 MT. Reed will have one of the largest majorities he ever received. The story of dissatisfaction in his district is all moonshine. The people of the First district, as we'll as the people of Maine are ali proud of MT. Reeds magnifi- cent career in congress, of his grand intellectually and his wise statesman ship. His district is devoted to him and he will be reelected handsomely.
 Speaker Reeds constituents can't do better for themselves, their State and their country than to send him back to congress. They probably know that and will do as they have done before.

ON TO SPAIN.

Though Camara's squadron hasn't moved lately the government of this country keeps moving in it's prepara- tions to send some ships to the Spanish shores. And many are asking, What difference does it make whether Ca- mara's squadron keeps on or puts back? We have the ships and the opportunity to carry the war up to the gates of Madrid, why should we hesitate to do 1t?
 Some ingenious Spaniard argues that if we send ships to Spain Europe will discover that she has a Monroe doc Urine and will order us to keep off the water. But Europe has been going to do many things for Spain that haven't yet been done, and it is possible that this one win be omitted. We are at war with Spain and not with the rest of Europe, and 1t wouldn't be very polite for the rest of Europe to inter- fere with our efforts to bring Spain to her senses. There has been no such interference yet, although Spain has earnestly sought it, and there are no signs of any.

SENSIBLE NEGROES.

Sometimes it seems as if negroes were no more sensible about white people than white people are about negroes. But there are some negroes in South Carolina who are clear-sighted They are going to war, and they want to go in the best way. A company formed at Spartanburg elected a white captain and white first and second lieutenants, they being in each case men who have military experience Or knowledge. Sev- eral other South Carolina companies now forming will pursue the same course. The men say that they are not willing to risk their lives with green and inexperienced officers, and as there are no negro military men they elect the best white officers they can induce to command them.
 This is reasonable. It will also be reasonable when white soldiers choose negro leaders if they are the best to be had

 Lieutenant W. c. Crutchley and c. Scott She'll Englishmen, have devised plan of rapid cable laying which looks practical. By this plan a cable Is to be laid at the rate of a fast cruisers speed. A grooved wheel on the ships taffrail is driven by motor and pays the cable out over the stern. Forward of this wheel is a wide drum, over which the cable passes on its way from the hold. In conjunction with the drum is maintained 2,0O0 feet of cable under constant tension. The idea of a cable running out at twenty knots is rather startling, but experts are said to be of opinion that this could be ac- complished. The inventors have de- vised an apparatus for keeping it under control and completely slowing 1000 cubic feet of cable. It is called a. Gable Accumulation" and is a small unit system of carrying the cable, which consists 1n placing the cable on board in drums of forty knots capacity and arranging them in columns, from which the cable is drawn off alternately; an | automatic traveller to receive the cable asit leaves the drum, and finally a con- trolling system, whereby an officer To- cated in a chart room keeps the att tendant at the ejecting machine aware of the needed paying-ou out speed. The idea of the inventors is that an off, cer on board ship can induce currents ! in the cable without making actual | metallic contact with it. When the I ship is right over the cable messages can be sent along the wires, although there are no connections between the cable on the floor of the ocean and the instruments on deck. Recent ex- periments have shown that this can be done.

may be made longe TOT shorter. When the real tailor girl wears a dark skirt she selects dark and pronounced plaid or stripe, something that will contrast strikingly with the white linen collar. The stripes of the shirt pass across the bosom and around the cuffs. The latter are more often to match the skirt than the collar. Even with very pronounced shirt a tie contrasting and equally pronounced may be worn, though taste must be displayed. As a rule tie of strong dark red, blue or orange brown polkRdotted with white may be worn with plaid shirt with good effect. The co1ors of each should be carefully contrasted that they may strike without crushing" as one finicky tailor girl said. The link-holes should be placed about half way between the top and the lower edge of the cuffs.
 Though tailor made exquisites are not many, modified tailor girls are a host, and even so not all the season s jauntiness Is due to the tailor's cun- ming. The dressmaker can do the trick at times, and now when the general rule Is for fluffs and puffs, so much of her output as stands for comparative simplicity shows off to better advan- tage A gown of the sort thus put in attractive contrast is shown to-day. It was in biege silk mohair, the skirt hav- ing inverted box-pleats in the center of the front breadth and at each side. The tops of the spaces between front and side pleats were ornamented with white mousseline showed in the center of. the bodice, and rounded revers ap- pliqued with the embroidery extended over the shoulders like narrow straps and formed a square yoke in back. Beige silk gave the belt, and collar, side ornaments and jabot were of pleated white chiffon.

A valuable document has been issued by the Bureau of Mines, Philadelphia,
 showing the production of anthracite and bituminous coal in Pennsylvania last year. It appears that there was a decrease of over 100000 tons of an- thracite in 1897 as compared with 1896,
 while the production of bituminous within the same period increased near Nv four and one-half million tons. The number of persons employed in mining anthracite was larger than that of those employed in mining the bitumin- ous-that is, the amount of coal mined for each person working was far less in the case of anthracite than of bi- luminous. Again, the number of acci- dents, fatal or otherwise, was very much larger in mining anthracite than bituminous. There are various reasons why anthracite mining is more hazar- Hous-the mines are deeper and blasting with high explosives is more necessary, more machinery is employed in prepar- ing the coal for market, this, of course, increasing the liability of accident on the other hand, however, anthracite mines are free from the formation of

The candidates are to be chosen from graduates of less than ten years standing, who have some knowl- edge of English. The fellows may travel wherever they please outside of France for a year or more, and will have no account to give of the manner In which they have employed their time. It is expressly stated that the object is not the development of spec dalists or scientific investigation, but the open minded study of the social life and the character of other coun- tries and the causes that make any country superior to theirs in any par ticular respect.
