TIMING A A
How to Tell the Rate OF Speed When
Running.

NunntnG.
Not one person in a hundred who
travels has any idea Of the speed OF a
train, and even a large percentage OF
the regular trainmen cannot tell with
any degree Of accuracy. Engineers use
their driving-wheel as a gauge. They
know, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
its circumference, and by counting its
revolutions within a certain time can
tell very accurately the speed at which
they are running. A favorite method
of timing among passengers is to cOun
the telegraph poles. AS a rule these
poles are planted thirty to the mile.
but in prairie countries, where only 4
single wire is used. the rumber d.
minishes to twenty-five. so that rule
will not always work. The most ac-
curate method. and the most in use by
experienced railroad men is to count
the number Of rail joints the train
passes over in twenty seconds. The
rails on nearly all roads are thirty feet
in length, and the number passed over
in twenty seconds is the speed per
hOur a train is running. For instance,
il a passenger can count thirty clicks
on a rail joint in twenty seconds. the
train IS running at a speed OF thirty
miles an hour. Actually this method
falls a little short. as in the example
given above, the speed would be near
er thirty-One than thirty miles. but IL
is near enough for all practical puT-
poses.

On the night of the musicale the wild
ow was triumphantly beautiful. There
was the light of battle in her eyes, and
that with good reason, for she had
brought her own affairs and those of
several other people to a crisis. But no
one could look at her perfect figure
and animated face without feeling that
she could conquer the most Obdurale
by her charms and have her will.
Harry had never seen her so be
witching, for he had never seen her
so thoroughly alert and aroused. Had
Esther not been present to allure and yet
repel him with her lily-iike sweetness
and nobility of soul, it is possible that
old thoughts might have been aroused
But his eyes were dwelling constantly
on her pure. calm face, and she seemed
to him more than ever unattainabIe.

beauty But it was in vain.

STRIKE AT CRAMPS
Extends to the Joiners, Who Walk
Out to the Number of $50

Philadelphia, Sept. 2O.-Another strike
was inaugurated at Grams shipbiuld-

laid down their tools. These men had
presented demands to the firm asking
that nine hours constitute a days work
and the pay be 30 cents an hour in
stead of ten hour day at 271b cents
per hour. The Cramps were given until
answer having been received at that
hour by the joiners, the strike resulted.
The machinists and blacksmiths who
on September 1 struck for a 3 hour
work day, are still out and the pattern
makers association of this city has
served notice on the Cramps making a
similar demand. A reply from the firm
is expected tomorrow.

BORROWED THE BASKET.
Custodian Dudley Spends Time and
Breath to little Purpose.

eli there; hold on; bring it back
These We're the words which echoed
across the state house grounds and
caused people going home to lunch to
stop and look around to see what was
the cause of the excitement.
A small man was ''hot-footing'' across
the state house grounds carrying under
his arm a waste basket which was pre-
sumably state property"
John Dudley, the custodian of the
state house and grounds, was looking
for weeds in one of the ffoa er beds on
the south side of the capitol His at
tention was called TO the man with the
state property making his way along
the west side OF the grounds behind the
lilies at a point where he was about
to start west on Ninth street
Dudley hesitated. then decided to
make the race to capture the disappear
ing property
Then came the yells. The possessor
of the basket turned around and ad-
justed his glasses. He always does this
on important occasions. With a dig
nifty that would have done credit to
Aguinaldo, he resumed his onward
march at a rapid pace.

He FASTENED to call a carriage. When
they had entered it. Esther began to
cry and he tried to console her In
stinctively he put his arm about her
and she did not resist A moment after
it was the natural thing to do-ne
kissed her, and, leaning her head on
his shoulder, she wept until her sor-
row had abated- He could not imagine
what was the matter, but when they
arrived at her home she enlightened
him. AS she was leaving him in the
conservatory, she had seen her father
kneeling before the widow, proposing to
her. and had seen her grant him kiss
of acceptance All her illusions about
duty vanished in an instant Her
father was getting another TO take care
of him, and her occupation was gone

Harry.
1t never occurred to Harry that the
widow had ordered him to propose to
Esther SO that she cOGld bring her faith
err as if by accident, to see the little
scene. She had watched his movements.
and, judging the correct moment to a
nicely, had brought Mr. Townsend to
that part of the conservatory. He liked
Harry too much to interrupt, which
the widow had taken care to learn be-
fore she took the step, but he was natu-
rally surprised. OF course. she PROMPT
1y sympathized with him on losing his
hOuSekeeper, and so Wrested from him
the proposal which she had long ago
planned. She had not counted on Esther
overlooking her part of the drama. but
that only hastened the action Of the
plot, and she was not sorry when she
heard of it.
Harry was naturally profuse in his
thanks, for his happiness so blinded him
to everything else in the world that he
thought it was for his sake that it had
all been done When this dawned upon
the widow, she laughed loud and long
"Oh, go away" she laughed. ITO your

Insurance Company No Longer Ac-
cepts Risks on CoIored Men.


Representatives of the American Be
nevOlent association have called upon
W. V Church, superintendent of insur-
ance, to say that the writing of poll
cies of insurance upon the lives of col
ored men by agents of that company is
without authority of the management
and is an irregularity on the part of the
agent so doing.
Complaint was made to the depart
ment of insurance by Topeka colored
man that the company, which has
headquarters in st. Louis. was accept
ing risks on the lives of men of his
race when the bylaws of the organ
ization expressly exempt them from
such privilege.
When the complaint was made to the
department the superintendent COM
municated with the management of the
company and the state representative
n. B. Campbell of Topeka, notified Mr.
Church that the proceedings were
wholly irregular and that a search is
now being made for the agent of the
company which engaged in the writing
of insurance on cOlored men.

Campbell land we will put a stop to
it at once, if we can locate the man who
