The device is the invention of J. D. Haussman, president of the company. It Is probably only a question of time until some such fitting will be a part of the reg ular equipment on suburban electric cars throughout the land. Another innovation in these cars is the complement of four mo- tors which enables them to maintain speed of fifty miles an hour even when weighted down with a load. Their seating capacity is ten greater than that of cars built heretofore. Sunday afternoon last one of these cars was raced against steam train on a parallel track.

CONSOLIDATION OF
 STEAMSHIP LINES

Baltimore, Md November s. = Rumors are current today concerning a combina- tion of transatlantic steamship companies which will involve several companies and many millions of dollars. It is said that the Atlantic Transport Company, which operates lines of steamships between New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore and Lon don, will be a part of the combination. Bernard M. Baker, president of the com pany, declined to discuss the matter. and others in the company were equally reti- cent. It was learned from an apparently reliable source that negotiations are going on in New York and that a representative of the Atlantic Transport Company is in that city looking after it's interests Golor is given to the rumor by the strength of Atlantic Transport Company stock on the exchange today There was an active in quiry for it on the board and on the curb. but the only sale recorded in the early dealings was ten shares at 15O, an advance of 15 poirts Since August 30 the stock has risen 45 points
 Details of the deal are carefully guarded but it is understood that the stockholders of the Atlantic Transport Company will re- ceive more than S200 per share for their holdings in the event of a consummation of the deal
 The Atlantic Transport Company has in service now seventeen vessels ranging in tonnage from 4250 to 13, 240. The Minne- tonka and the Minnewasha, now building at Belfast, Ireland, will be launched next spring and placed in the New York-London trade Besides these vessels the company is building two at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding Company at Camden N J., and will shortly award contracts tor two more.

GERMAN COM MENT.
Presidential Election Still Engages
 Attention of the Press.

Berlin, November S.-Some of the German papers continue thei- comments upon the sweeping Republican victories in the uhlted States. The Lokal Anzeiger says
 Ut must not be assumed that President Mckinley feels very comfortable in his i'm perial greatness. The policy of the Wash ington administration has for some time been hesitating, anxious and far from clear Its standard of action has been the avoid- ance of every risk, and consequently the very reverse of plans of adventure
 The Socialist Voerwaerts observes: Con sidering MT. McKinley's cautious attitude In China, it is hardly to be feared for the present that imperialism will undertake large new actions in the intoXication of victory over the sanction given it Tuesday,.
 A section of the German press having re- gently asserted that the United States and Japan had abandoned the Anglo-German policy in China and begun to gravitate to- ward Rusisa and France, the Berliner Neuste Nachrichten presents a strong semi official denial, asserting that such state ments rest on no fact whatever"

THE BEST OF LIFE.

From the Spectator Not till life's heat is cooled The headlong rush slowed to a quiet pace And every purblind passion that has ruled
 Our noiser years at last Spurs us in vain, and, weary of the race, We care no more who loses or who wins An! not till all the best of life seems past
 The best of life begins. To toll for only fame Handicappings and the fickle gusts of prase,
 For place or power or gold to glld a name
 Above the grave whereto All paths will bring us, where to lose our days We, on whose ears youths passing bell has tolled- In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
 Forgetting we grow old.s But the world widens when Such hope of trivial gain that ttrued us lies Broken among our childhood's toys; for then
 We win to self-control! And mail ourselves in manhood, and there rise Upon us from the vast and windless height Those clearer thoughts that are unto the soul
 What stars are to the night.

CANNED CATS AT COLLEGE.

From the New York Sun.
 While other women are putting up pre- serves the girls of one famous eo-educa- tional college are canning and preserving cats. This sounds unpleasant, but it Is nevertheless truth. In this university feature is made of the physiological course for women, and cats are used almost eX- cusively to teach the students the branches of the study Hundreds of cats are used here every year, and a cathousc, where they are collected and kept alive un til required for dissection, Is an interesting department of the college.
 But a still stranger room was that filled with jars of alcohol, in which cats in va Here there were whole families of kittens in one jar, as we'll as kittens put up sepa- rately in pint jars, while the parent cats were incaSed in larger vessels. These were the specimens, but there were also kegs of cats put away for use in the dissectinS room when the supply in the cathouse ran short. It was a grewsome place to any but a college girl of higher education who was able to view the matter from an en- her professors assertion that the cats sui fered nothing, without herself having any knowledge on the subject.
 The cathouse is kept stocked through the services of the boys of the village, who prowl about for stray cats, for which at the college they receive 25 cents each, more being paid for exceptionally fine speci- mems

Enforce the ConceaIed Weapon Law.

Yesterdays shooting affair at the State Fair grounds was another practical dem onstration of the urgent necessity of en- forcing the law against carrying concealed weapons Many men under great excite ment or intense anger do not realize what they do in shooting pistol at an enemy or an opponent when both are in crowd. The danger is to innocent persons who are on pleasure bent.
 Let men fight with pistols who want to- Let them shoot each ether full of holes if they care to, but they should go off to some secluded spot to do so.
 Men who carry pistols are apt 4o use them at any time under the impulse of great excitement. To prevent this the law against carrying concealed weapons, espe- cially in any place of public amusement, should be strictly enforced. The Age Herald believes the law against concealed weapons should be sufficiently stringent to allow officers of the law to examine every man going into a place of public amuse- ment for concealed weapons.
