after you have concluded that you
ought not to drink coffee. 1t is not
a medicine but doctors order it be-
cause it is healthful, invigorating
and appetizing. 1t is made from pure
grains and has that rich seal brown
color and tastes like the finest grade
of coffee and costs about I as much.
Children like it and thrive on it be-
cause it is the genuine food drink

admired. Chinn claimed that he was
quicker with the knife than any one else
engaged In the campaign. David Ncagle,
the man who killed cx-Judge David S..
Terry, went there as the man who used
his revolver most rapidly, and as he was
for Stewart, too, the combination looked
irresistible.
Chinn once proved his pluck by stand
ing at the door of tho Kentucky senate
chamber and holding at bay some armed
men who were about to lynch a number OF
senators who had taken an unpopular
stand on the question OF re-electing Black
burn. Popular opinion was divided as to
the propriety Of the lynching, with per-
haps "a proponderance in favor of the en-
terprise, but the CLEAN of Chinn' S revolver
settled it in favor of the mays"
Colonel Chinn drinks bourbon whisky,
chews long green tobacco and cusses, and
the flutter of a petticoat is as attractive to
him as is the red flag Of a race track. In
appearance he is the rollicking, roistering,
nervy Kentuckian, and he plays poker
and is a past grand mastA. at old sledge.
Colonel Chinn comes OF a racing family,
he being d son of a member of the old rae
ing firm of Chinn s. Boyden, well known
a generation ago. They owned many fa-
nous race horses in their day, and the
colonel has himself been the breeder and
trainer Of some notable performers on the
turf.

pointed acting .midshipman from In
diana in 1854. He graduated from the
Naval academy in 1858, and at the time
of the breaking out of the civil war he
had been promoted to master of the
sloop of war Pawnee. During the four
years following he saw a great deal of
active service. He toe part in nearly
all the important naval engagements,
commanding a variety of fighting craft.
He served with distinction and was
several times promoted.
After the civil war he was given sew
eral important posts and filed all Of
them with much credit. He has had no
sea service since 1883, when he COM
manded the Vandalia on the Pacific sta
ton. During the war with Spain Rear
Admiral Howiaon was acting COM
mandant Of the Boston navy yard. His
post there is now being filled by Rear
Admiral Picking.
The south Atlantic squadron was
abandoned at the beginning of HOSTILE
ties with Spain and has just been re-
established. Rear Admiral Howison
will have for his flagship the cruiser
Chicago, which. with. the gunboat Will
mington. now cruising up the Amazon,
will constitute his squadron. But there
will be little Doing in South American
waters, and the other ships are needed
elsewhere. In october of this e
Rear Admiral Howison will be retired
by reason of his having reached the age
limit, so this is his last cruise.

GO FAR ON ERRANDS.
LONG DISTANCE TRIPS WHICH MES.
SENGER BOYS HAVE MADE.

Tyvo who Have Been sent across the
Oc~ean-story of the First Incident
Of This Kfnd-Vhe shortest Trip ON
eco
Sending a messenger boy across the
ncean on an errand is not an unprece-
denied piece of extravaganza, but it is
done so rarely as to make the event
somewhat noteworthy. The arrival Of
Private 757" of the London district
messenger service with messages for
persons in New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago and instructions to bea the
mails recalls some previous long dis
lance errands on which messenger boys
have been sent.
Private 757," who has recently re-
ceived so much attention, is in his I'M
official capacity William T. Jaggers, a
bright London bred youth of 16. who
has been in the service less than half a
year.
OF course it was an American, a Mr..
Robert G. Davis, who sent No. 757 on
ed to astonish Londoners and keep up
the national reputation. You ear al
most hear the surprised Britons ex-
Cldlllliu5. IlOW dSdCColy Ooo, " =
you know! And SO American!"
The only other incident of the kind
on record happened in 1887. 1t was a
good deal of an advertising scheme. 1t
was engineered by Daniel Frohman,
who had just begun his management of
the Lyceum theater in New York. At
that time he engaged p. H. Sothern,
who has been with him ever since, to
play in a piece called The Highest Bid
der" 1t was only intended for a short
run, but the star and the play made a
great success, and both were kept on
the boards.
Mr.. Frohman was young in his career
as a manager, and Sothern was new as
a star, and they felt so elated over
their first hit that a souvenir was pro-

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-03-25

A pleasant story of the Duke of Devon
shire comes from C~hatsworth. The other
day he was stroiling, gun in hand,
through one of his own fields near Baslow,
when he started a hare, which hes shot,
and was going to pick it up when a small
boy jumped out of a ~neighboring edge
and warned him off. Here. mesterr'
cried the small boy, peremptorily, fyo
must ma touch that Why not?" asked
the Duke, amused, seeing that he was not
recognized. Why it's the Duke's."
answered the boy, IAN hefH have you
locked up if he Knows "Ohi" said mis-
Grace. Then will you take charge Of it?''
sAy, that / WILL" answered The boy
promptly; tine fayther's a keeper Half
an hour afterwards the boy and the hare
arrived in the kitchen at ChatsWorth. The
Duke had taken a short cut home, and
had the boy brought to him.. This little
chap was dumb with terror when he
learned what a mistake he had made, but
the Duke gave him a fve-shiIling piece,
called him a good lad, andtsent him
away rejoicing.

way station at the Esplanade des In
valides along the south side of the Seine
and into the Champ de Mars will be on
the ground level itself.
The ~trottoir mobile on the north side
of the river will be an elevated n fur
nished with benches in the old style of
Chicago and Berlin. It's circuit prom
ises to be about four miles, from the
Champs Elysees up to the Trocadero
and return. With these two separate
lines of moving sidewalks the proper
circulation of the crowds within the
grounds will be secured.
In each case the moving sidewalks
will be triple. The first strip will be
stationary, the second will be always
moving at the rate of three miles an
hour, n the third will be always NOV
ing at the rate of almost six miles an
hour.
The original device of the French en-
J, gineer Henard, which made each plat
form but a series of connected cars, has
been replaced by the Chicago idea, the
only possible one for such long dis
tances. Each rolling platform is fur
nished with a continuous rail, and in
stead Of being dragged along, as cars
would be, it is pushed onward by fixed
rollers. The force, which is electrical,
is thus applied at regular intervals
throughout the length of the line.
The same American device provides
for the varying speeds Of the two plat
forms operated by the anne motive
power. The faster moving platform is
pushed olsiard by the larger rollers.
The rollers move together, actioned by
the same motive power. only each roll
er, according to its size, gives a faster
or a slower motion to the platform
above it
In this way. say the Parisians, there
is nc reason why there should not be
elevated moving sidewalks for the rapid
transit Of the streets. You would first
step on to the platform that moves three
miles an hour, then you would step on to
that moving six miles an hour, then
you would step on to another moving
nine miles an hour, and so on to the
speed of an express train.
But the express train sidewalk seems
to be far in the future. Perhaps it will
never be reached, for the moving plat
form is peculiarly adapted to urban
uses. 1t will move dense crowds where
no other mode of transportation would
be feasible, and as we are getting into
the habit of forming ourselves into
dense crowds the moving sidewalks
must of necessity become one of the
features of city life.
