less age who have been IN the employ
of the company for 30 years. Not to
load the pension fund too heavily, the
employment of new hands more than
35 years old Is TO be forbidden, except as
temporary or emergency men.
This is the one regrettable feature of
the plan. II is just, but there are al
ready too many bars to the employment
of men past youth but still in the prime
of their years. With the oversupply
of labor as commodity hos come about
a perhaps exaggerated preference for
young men in any employment. More
men have shaved off their mustaches,
dyed their hair and affected jaunty
air for business reasons than for per-
sonal vanity.
However, the scheme is good. 1t will
be begun with nearly 500 pensioners.
The Oldest man in the shops is 81 years
old and still does his days work. The
man who has been longest in active
service has worked for the company 63
years. Sixty-three years ago railroad
ing was just beginning. The men
in longest service on the Pennsylvania
system are nearly all connected with it's
canals.
But the Pennsylvania veteran of 91
is mere boy beside Barney Morris,
aged 1902, whom | see at work tidying
up the grounds whenever go to Pros
pect park, Brooklyn. Look at Barney
working, and you will not think man
of 35 too old to seek employment on
railroad. OWEN LANGDON.

Joining the Has-beeno. sno, which / q
year was in a bad way, has supplanted
1t. Other resorts, while pretending to
be independent of the example of New
port, really follow its precedents. Golf
is doomed; or rather, it has become
popular game instead of n smart one.
OF course in the Casino-Golf club
fght in Newport, the former has prot
tied by the powerful advocacy OF Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and those whom he
can influence, but there is reason
stronger than money for the games
decadence; it is clothes. The swells
at all the great summer resorts are
wearing white this summer; and all
dresses are cut very long. Even golt
skirt is as long as a walking skirt was
a few years ago. 1t is impossible to
keep golf course free from dust, and
dust and perspiration mean the ruin
of a white waist. Besides, there isn't
so much fun in tramping over dusty
field in a long dress. Male golf en-
thusiasts who have learned to play
well are going to stick to it for awhile,
as crack players will stick to tennis;
but it is no longer fad.
The athletic girl you hear so much
about is a good deal of fake anyhow.
One season she tramps about in a
smart skirt and gets exercise, partly
because she likes to be where the men
are, partly because she is always look
ing for something new, but mainly so
that she may wear the clothes appro-
pirate to the sport. But let a change
of fashion come and-presto! -- your
athletic girl has swathed herself in a
long white gown and goes careering
about over a sprinkled road in an au'
tomobile or sits at ease and watches
plain girls who have no further hopes
of matrimony play tennis or young
men squabbling on polo ponies.

New York, Aug. s7--More world
amateur records fell In the IS miles
championship race Friday night II.
Y. Bedell of New York, and Everett
Ryan, of Waltham, competed, both
being paced by motor tandems. Bedell
led on the first mile, and then Ryan
went to the front and his tandem crew
cut terrific gait. At four miles the
record commenced to go down, and
when the race was finished new figures
were credited. Bedell's time for IS
miles was made in "a minutes, 10 1-B
seconds.

What Wetmore Likes Senator Aldrich
hiscolleague, on the other hand, is gen.
uine resident of Rhode Island and poor.
Indeed, it is n matter which has been
talked about but not printed that he
was on the point of refusing TO go back
to the senate. so that he might resume
his law practice and make a little
money for his large family, but party
loyalty was used as an argument to
keep him in the harness.
These two men seem 20 have changed
character. The poor man is austere
and dignified, reserved and studious,
though an astute political manager.
Wetmore, the most difficult man to get
at in New York an aristocrat of the
aristocrats on Fifth avenue, likes moth
ing better than to sit down and have
long talk with a plain farmer. Al
though not a resident of the state, he
is probably known to as many people
in it as any other elective official, and
in state as small as Rhode Island this
is a great help. The man must like
politics. He is worth $3O,000,O0 and
any man who has so much money as
that has no hope of any higher office
than that of senator.

probable next speaker of the house.
The Goddards are a Rhode Island
family whose vast wealth was founded
in the old slave trade, when Newport
and Providence were the chief marts
of newly brought human freights from
Africa, and has been increased largely
by big cotton mills. The Lonsdale and
Hope mills-IIope Goddard, who be-
came Mrs. Oliver lselin, was named for
the latter-are their property. The
older members of the family still live
in Providence, though they might take
S5O,OOO,OOO with them for a social cam
paign in New York. Their winter home
is a wonderful palace for a town like
Providence. 1t is gossip that Miss God
dard, who once rejected a noble suitor,
Count Sierstorpf, may succumb to the
charms of the bigger title. Yarmouth
is not at any rate the ordinary type
of the fortune hunter. He has plenty
of money of his own.

that it's none of their business. But
the nation has a decided interest in
the reception to Dewey, and if it goes
off successfully it will be in spite of the

interested in getting stand seats to sell

EULA VAUGHAN.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. D. Vaughan, live in the
village OF Bowman.
When Eula was oply 21a years old
she was known to play ON the organ,
while held in the lap Of nurse. Owing
to the fact that there is no piano in
her home, as the sole instrument her
parents possess is an organ. her play
ing has been confined almost entirely
to that. Still the youngster can play
on the piano very we'll indeed, for it
seems to be as natural to her to play
on either organ or plano as it is to
breathe. At the last commencement
OF John Gibson institute she played
an accompaniment on the piano for the
orchestra without even practicing the
numbers. Her father says she can re-
peat any composition she has ever
heard played.
From her earliest years she seemed
to have an idea of harmony. One day
her uncle, Prof J. B. Vaughan, hap
pened to hear her play. He wrote the

hangman appointed by the mayor. Can
didates for the moose will be those OF
moral and personal wickedness, and
not only the men but the women
should be entitled to vote. Smyth is
perfectly honest and serious in his
proposition, and he says that it would
unquestionably result in purifying the
social conditions Of the city quicker
than any other known means. He ad
yances the argument that there ara
many wicked men in every ward. and
that the ward would be much better of
If they were dead, but that 1t would be
1mpract1cable to hang them ALL He
believes that one would be an example,
martyr to the cause of social purity,
and the natural result would be that
other wicked men of the ward would
at once realize that another New Years
day was approaching, and that unless
they reformed they might get the
largest vote at the polls. He states
that fear of this would drive the men,
perhaps, out of the city, and that the
law would have the same result. He
believes that such law could be en-
acted, and that it would be just ono
He argues that every man would vir-
tually be his own executioner, and the
only safety for the inhabitants OF the
ward would be in good conduct. There
are twenty-nine wards in st. Louis and
Smyth says that if twenty-nine thor
oughly bad men were hanged January
l 1t would have the effect of bringing
those left behind to realization of the
fact that another day of reckoning was
coming.
