An Antithirteen Fiend.

"'That fellow sitting up next the door
Is the most superstitious man 1 ever
saw" said a street car conductor the
other day. HE rides down town on my
car every morning, and I've had every
opportunity to study him. The first thin
he does when he gets on is to count noses.
If he makes the thirteenth person on the
car, he jumps off and waits for the next.
Fact. But that isn't all. One day last
week there were - passengers in the
car when he got aboard. and he made the
thirteenth, but the motorman and myself
brought the total up to IS, so be didn't
mind. But when 1 collected his fare and
rang it up the indicator, of course, regis
tered 10. When he saw this, he actually
turned pale. Then he reached down in
his pocket, fshed out another nickel and
handed it to me.
"'Ring up another fare he said Tt
makes me nervous to see that 10 up
there
81 did as he requested, and he was
most profuse in his thanks. Can you
beat it ?"-Philadelphia Record.

Poisonous Plants.

The berries of the yew have killed
many persons, and it is pretty well

of the jonquil, white hyacinth and

that to chew small scrap of one of the
bulbs may result fatally, while the juice
of the leaves is an emetic. There is
enough opium in red peoples to do mis-

most harmful. Lilies of the valley are
also as poisonous. The leaves and flow

M. Salomonov, Russian chemist, an

an impregnating liquid for incandesceDt
gaslight 1nantles which effects color
ing of the light, varying it as may be
desired. The material by which this is
accomplished consists of 10 parts by

of zinc sulphate and part of potassium
bichromate, or in it's stead from 1 to 8
parts of ammonium bichromate, dis
solved in from so to 100 parts of dis

which can be intensified by the addi-
ton of a small quantity of stannic nj
trate to the impregnating liquid. If
platinum tetrachloride is substituted
for the silver nitrate, the light will
have a golden yellow color.

Danger In Red Signals.

For number of years it has been the
conviction of some railroad men that
the use of white light at night as
signal for a clear track is dangerous,
inasmuoh as a red danger signal may
easily be broken, and thus give an "all
clear signal. One Of the most recent
changes in signals, due to that opinion,
is that which the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford road has decided to
make. On this line, in the near future,
green light will mean safety, and
white will not. The innovation has
been brought about in a large measure
by an accident which resulted from the
deception of an engineer by farmers
lantern set on post near the track.
There was no intent to make mischief,
but the effect was just as disastrous

siuion has been submitted to the state
railroad commission looking to the
equalization of the rates from Paris

all interstate shipments shall be re-

any action will be taken.

PARK STATUARY
The Unique Idea OF a Woman Well
Known In FL Qaso

Acopy of the Sao Francisco ExamiB-
er received here contains an article by
Miss Thelma Winfield Miss Myrtle
Canady), well known in FL Paso, IN
which she makes some suggestions as
to park statuary illustrated by several
poses of her own.
Some of her ideas are certainly
original and interesting. For example,
as representing industry she would
have instead of a man with hoe a
woman at the washtub. Several other
interesting poses are suggested.

MUSIC AND

The Mexican Concert Band
TO Play Tomorrow
CHIHUAHUAS TO COME
To Ell pdso Tonight And Be Escort
ed Out To the Field BY the Band
Tomorrow To Try To Stampede
the Colts

The fans are yet talking OF the
Blue and the Brown.
Tomorrow Is the great day. AT
half hour after the clock has sounded
the hour of three, the battle will Rave
commenced. The forces, lined up for
action, will be IN readiness for the COM
N and to advance and for the rest OF
the afternoon the air will resound with
the shouts of chieftains directing their
commands and the cheering of the
assem- led admirers OF the rival bands.
Ii will be an international conflict that
during it's progress will have all the
earn essness Of struggle for Franklin
kopjs, though at its conclusion the
field will resume it's previous calm and
she victors and vanquished will as
simulate as il the great battle had not
been won and lost.
Tonight the train OF the enemy will
have arrived on the soil of Uncle
Samuel and by previous agreement the
bugle call for action will not be sound
ed until the following day. The
leader of the Blues will have his
lssger at the Orrdorff Hotel and until
tn e following afternoon will enjoy with
his followers the.full liberty OF the city.
At l 80 tomorrow the clubs will turn
out together and headed by the
MEXICAN CONCERT BAND
will proceed to the grounds. The
route of march will be as follows:
starting at Hotel Orndorff, along ST.
Louis street to Oregon, Sar. Antonio,
Ell Psso, Overland and tb Stanton
street and to the grounds. The Mex
lean concert band has rendered its SER
vices for the occasion and will play
several of its choicest selections at the
grounds before play is called. The
new plumes have been received which
makes this organization one of the
finest equipped concert bands of the
country and the music rendered by it's
m embers stamps them as one of the best
musical attractions that could be OBJ
tanned.
The Chihuahuss will bring along q
large body of friends to cheer them on
10 victory and the members of the
Blues are confident Of success. Lloyd,
who is booked to catch for the visitors,
is a we'll known artist on the slab and
if they can show up his superior as
dealer In the mysterious slants and
kiuky shoots, the colts must trim their
batting eyes with great care. The
colts are strong enough to give them
q hard battle, however, and to a man
say that the game is theirs.
A few surprises will be sprung on
the invaders, for the local management
has a quartet of dark horses that
makes the game look like present to

Il will be red hot game. for the
colts are stronger than ever. The
local players seen in their ranks have
improved wonderfully this season and
the best of it all is that they are hard
hitters. Every man OF the club is bat
ting like a thunderbolt and If the
chihuahua outfielders don't run their
legs off it will be because the ball went
over the fence.

In letter TO the Elliott City Times,
relative to the bill before the Legislature
asking $1,000 year from the people OF

getting $50. 900 year out OF the people
for the University He is a Jewish law

Ho,1d of January 5th. voices sternly fer
the people. and points TO the fact that
the University has been profigate and
a spend thrift from the first, and has no
right TO ask for the taxpayers money TO
rectiiy its mistakes. Similar to this came
the sound from the majority of the coun-
~ papers in 1893 and the peoples repre-
sentatives tolerably manfully stood for
their rights; but now that the demand is
repeated short, sharp and decisive no
should ring out all along the line.
Among the many protests in 1898
note the following: One from two hun
dred citizens of Washington county. one
from Baltimore county correspondent
of the .SKz who said that the name should
be changed to "The College of Hopkins
and the People OF the State Of Maryland"

Gil OF Baltimore wholly opposed to it.;
one from the Old Town Merchants and

posed to il; one from the Laurel Demo-
crat. which said it had one professor for
each four students and was rather top
heavy. and the Westminster Advocate
said sIooo, 900 TO the University meant

ers' pockets. While the University was

THE people of the State are gratiied at
the effort that is being made by the pres
ent legislature to practice economy. II
was formerly customary to allow each
senator and the executive officer S25 for
postage stamps. A step has been taken
to reduce this to $40 worth. II has been
usual, also, TO allow nearly all the
employees SIS worth of stamps. The
people can easily see, under such an or.
der. the large amount of the States
money which is given away without any
warrant therefor. Ii the Senators find
they need more than $40 worth of stamps
they can easily ask for them and are sure
to get them.
