the foot and leg of a man. the limb having
been cut off below the knee and wrapped
in paper. The matter was reported to the
authorities, but up to last evening there
appeared to be no clue of a tangible ma

further investigated. and perhaps some

FOR WIFE OR DAUGHTER.
What Is More Suitable Present Than a
Piano?

This is a period when the parental
brain is agitated over the question of
what to buy for daughter for Christ
mas present. What would be more ac-
ceptable than piano? Of course it
would be more expensive, but it would
also be more serviceable. If you have
already decided upon piano, you have
probably made up your mind to buy a
Steinway, Knabe, Krakauer, Stultz &
Bauer, Ludwig, or Stodart.
The F. w. Banner Co. has the ex-
elusive agency for these instruments,
and dozen others almost equally
famous, their line, in fact, embracing
the best pianos manufactured in
the world. Ten pianos in their store
rooms have been bought for Christmas
delivery This is the best time to buy
when the stock is complete, and more
time can be devoted to inspection.

GLENCAIRN THE WINNER.
The Canadian Craft Awarded the
Seawanhaka Cup.

DORVALE (Que0, Aug. "a series
of five races for the Sewanhaka cup
between the American challenger Con-
stance and the Canadian defender Glen
cairn III terminated this evening in
a fiasco. Each of the little craft had
won two races, and the boats were
called to-day for the decisive brush,
but Skipper Duggan sailed his Cana
dian boat over the course alone, and
was awarded the cup despite the pro-
tests of Mr.. Craig, the American.
The Glencairn, crossed the starting
line at 3:05:15, but the Constance did
not cross, her centerboard having
struck the ground while her skipper
was maneuvering for the start. Then
followed Mr. Craig's verbal protest, but
the officials decided to continue the race
and consider the protest afterward.
By this time the GIencairn was well
UP the first leg, and small yacht was
sent up to instruct her to complete the
course. The Glencairn accordingly pro-
ceeded and with the moderate wind
which was blowing finished the twelve
miles at 6:25:15, we'll within the five
hour time limit.
Mr. Craig's verbal protest was fol-
lowed up by a written protest by Mr..
Post. part owner of the Constance, to
the effect that the course was rot
proper one for the boats to sail on. The
Sailing Committee, after being in ses-
sion from $50 until 11:2O o'clock toE
night, decided that the race should be
awarded to the Glencairn.

At the strikers headquarters to-day
it was announced that fifty OF the

running on the Wilson, Central and
Scoville avenue lines had quit work
because the Big Consolidated had
broken it's agreement with them. The
men, it is stated, were promised ~
day and board until the strike was
over. The company posted a notice
to-day at the Wilson avenue parh
stating that as the strike was prac-
tically ended, the men must pay their
own board. The latter, however, deny
that the strike is over, and as a result
according to the strike leaders, num-
Der of the new men refused to take
out their runs to-day and are now
engaged in trying to induce other non
union men to quit. The Big Consoli-
dated officials deny that the men have
stopped work, as stated by the strike
leaders. u

Water Flying Engines.

Among the remarkable features of
modern railway travel the one that al
ways attracts attention is the trick OF
taking water by the engine while it is
in motion. The American tourist has
become accustomed to seeing the mar,
row trough, twelve to fourteen hundred
feet long, at various dead level points
along the road, and he knows that the
strip of water which it contains is
scooped up by the engine as it speeds
over the tracks. But people from for.
eign countries often ask questions
about the water between the tracks,
and marvel when they hear the story
about drinking" the engine on the fly.
What seems a marvellous mechanical
continuance is an extremely simple
thing A pipe with a scoop end is fas.
tened to the tender. 1t is C shaped
with the top end pointing in to the wa
ter tank and the bottom curled under
the body of the tender. BY series OF
levers this end may be dropped until
it reaches the level of the ties. When
the engine reaches the trough the fire
man drops the scoop end, which is 3115
inches high and u inches wide, into the
trough, intos which it sinks distance
of about six inches or within an inch
of the bottom. 1t may wabble slight
ly without doing any harm, because
the trough is "a inches wide Dropping
the end is all that is done, for the mo-
ton of the engine does, the rest. The
water rushes into the pipe and thence
into the tank with a rush and force

Rough Experience for Mrs. Howe.

{ In Alfred, N Y, is one of the
. oldest co-educational institutions in
this country. 1t has graduated many
famous men and women. Professor AL
len. a descendant Of Ethan Allen, who
was at it's head with his daughter, now
Nine. Alberti of New York City, Gre
ated considerable CONSERVATION among
the villagers by their innovations more
than two generations ago. Miss Allen
opened a calisthenic department for
girls. Another teacher gave lessons in
the languages to women, and Professor
Allen advertised series of lectures by
a female lyceum star"
He hired the largest hall in the place
and put tickets on sale. Up to this time
there had never been a female lee
turer in that part, or, for that mat
ter, in any part of the State. The
day after the lectures were billed the
Selectmen of the town entered a pro-
test. and Professor Allen found that he
could not get the hall. Next he tried
to engage the schoolhouse, but this was
also refused. Just about this time he
discovered that the railroad authori-
ties had been prevailed upon to see
that the train bearing the lecturer
should not stop at the station that day.
This aroused the Professors wrath.
He hired all the vehicles he could. from
buggies to hayracks, and Miss Allen
went to the next town and hired a
hall.
Upon the day of the lecture the train
sped through the town, which was only
a flag station, despite the frantic en-
deavors of the female star to have
it stopped. At the next station, how
ever, she was greeted by hundreds of
persons who had come in from miles
around. The situation was explained,
the young woman taken to the hall,
and the lecture, which was on art was
delivered. 1t was a great success in
spite of many placards put up by nos
tile villagers proclaiming:
"a hen will crow in the town-hall to-
night"
( The lecturer has always said that
this effort aided her greatly at the
beginning of her career, which to-day
is one of the proudest chapters in the
advancement of American women
The lecturer was Miss Julia Ward, now
the venerable Julia Ward Howe.-Phil-
