AUTOMOBILES FOR THE ARMY
Three Will Be Tested at Fort Mye1
This Week.

Washington, Oct. s. Three automo-
biles, ordered by the signal bureau,
have arrived and will be tested at Fort
Myer this week. Two are wagons of
the delivery type and one a light car
riage. The wagons will be used for
transporting paraphernalia and instru-
ments, and the carriage will carry the
officers and operators.
All the vehicles are fitted with at
tachmentS for use with horses, as cleo
tricity cannot always be obtained to
charge the batteries. In field service
storage batteries will be used in con-
nection with signal corps telegraph
lines.
The wagons will carry electric sida
lamps, and the carriage will be equip
ped with an electric searchlight. The
batteries are capable of a thirty-mile
run without recharging, and the wag-
ons have a maximum speed of ten
miles an hour, with twelve-horse
power capacity for use on grades and
seven on level roads. The estimated
load capacity is 1,500 pounds.
The vehicles are painted a dull sage
green to harmonic with grass and
foliage and render their discovery diff
cult by an enemy.

FELL AMONG THIEVES.
A Member of the Rhode Island Dele
cation Robbed in New York.

Providence, R. l., Oct. S.-Although
so far as is known none of the mem
bers of the Rhode Island delegation
while attending the Dewey celebra-
ton in New York purchased any gold
bricks or satchels of newspapers in ex-
change for good cash, nevertheless,
they fell among thieves. The light
fingered gentlemen failed to respect
the states representatives badges, and
toyed percilessly with the contents of
at least one members pocket. Captain
Charles Gray, state auditor, was
touched" for pocketbook contain
ing, in addition to valuable papers and
relics about $S5 in cash.
AS luck would have it the state aud
itor lost this money the first night that
the party was in New York. Captain
Gray and State Treasurer Reed, being
members of the ununiformed division,
and not wishing to be overshadowed by
the golden trimmings of the others IF
the party, saw what there was to be
seen in company.
According to their own story, they
were, for some reason, shown consid-'
erablc more courtesy than We're some
of the other members of the delegation
Perhaps the fact that they were not IN
uniform convinced the entertainers
that they were dignitaries travelling in
disguise.
Nevertheless, this did not prevent a
pickpocket from making himself very
familiar with the contents of Captain
Gray's left hip pocket in which was
his pocketbook. Captain Gray and the
state treasurer had been to the theater
and had returned to their hotel. Cap
tain Gray wore a frock coat, which
he kept closely buttoned while on the
street, for he thought that bad men
might have designs upon his watch.
The hotel was reached in safety and

PAPAL DELEGATE
Reception of r1gr. FaIconIo at Quebec
by Officials and Clergy.

Quebec, Oct. S.-Mgr. Falconio, the
first permanent papal delegate ap-
pointed to Canada by the Holy Sec,
arrived here this afternoon on the
Vancouver. At the last general cleo
tions in Canada many of the French
liberal leaders loudly complained of
1.-THE part taken by the Bishops of Que
bee in their pastoral letters to their
people on their duty as electors. The
liberals complained that these letters
were calculated to interfere with the
freedom of~the catholic electors and to
inspire in them the belief that their
duty to the church was to vote for the
conservative party. Notwithstanding
the liberal leader, Sir Wilfred Laurier,
was good Roman catholic, like many
of his followers. Out of these com
plants is believed to have arisen the
delegate here.
Mgr. Falconio is 81 years old. He
was consecrated Bishop of Lacedogua
not far from Naples. in 1892. Shortly
afterward he became Archbishop of
Acerauza and Metera.
A large part of the city turned out
to receive him on his arrival this after
noon. Mr.. Scott, secretary of state.
Ottawa; Hon. Charles Fitzpatrick, and
the Hon. r. r. Dobell, of the federal
government; Mr.. March. prime minis
ter of Quebec, and Mr.. Parent. mayor
of the city, met him at the wharf with
the clergy and thousands of citizens.
Mgr. Marois, vicar-general, represented
the Archbishop of Quebec at the wharf,
and when the delegate reached the
Basilica he was received by the Arch
bishop himself at the entrance. The
papal bull appointing him was read.
and after an impressive ceremonial, the
delegate gave the papal benediction to
all present.
A brilliant state dinner was given in
his honor tonight at the Archbishop's
palace. He will leave here in a couple
of days for Montreal. Two secretaries
accompany him-one English, the other
French.

arsenical poisons, in some of them the

by having brought to his attention a
number OF cases of sickness which were
traced to paper covered rooms. 1t Is to
be presumed that, in the future, houses,

ern, will have to have frescoed walls.
While on the subject of wall paper,
the Cornell scientist would confer a
FAVOR upon mankind by pursuing his
investigation further. 1t would be in
teresting as well as instructive to know
what per cent Of the inmates of insane
asylums owe their mental condition to
their having been compelled to live In
rooms whose walls were covered with
realistic portraitures of an opium smok-
ers dream. Some Of the designs which
are alleged to make living rooms coy
and homellke resemble nothing so much
as the efforts Of dissipated artist to
reproduce the experiences of an attack
or the delirium tremens."

coating walls, Is free from these objec-
lions. 1t Is sanitary and costs less than

1t Brings Tons of This Food to Exiled
Bostonians.
Your true Bostonian who is forced
to exist in New York has little to CON-
fort him In his exile. There Is only
one solace to his cup of bitterness, and
that is his Sunday morning breakfast.
And as he sits down cOmplacently to
this one meal Of all the week which
reminds him of home he offers up fer
mercfes. One Is that he Is still Bos-
tonian, and the other Is for the baked
beans train.
The baked beans train comes rolling
into the Grand Central Depot In New
York every Sunday morning at about
o O'Clock. 1t comes In every other
morning, to be sure, but only on Sun
days does II possess any special sig
nificance. There is always an express
car attached, but on week days it is
filled with miscellaneous cargo. Not
so on Sunday mornings. Then there
is a penetrating aroma, which comes
from stacks and stacks Of freshly
baked beans In pots. They are consign-
ed to an enterprising purveyor in New
York, who covers a regular route with
a number of delivery wagons. Within
two hours after the train comes in the
contents Of the express car have been
distributed. The Saturday night run
out Of Boston is known among the
train hands as the baked beans run.

The training was at once begun. The

females average 90 pounds each In
