It is now reported that the much talked
of change in the passenger service OF
the Northern Pacific will take place on
October 20, one week from today, when
the double service east of Billings will
be abandoned, but continued as at pres
ent west CT this city. 1t is also stated
hat the present local passenger will be
the one taken off east from here, thus
continuing the popular north coast linn
tied train. In all probability the Burling-
ton will change it's time of arrival so as
to reach Billings earlier in the night.

WAR ON THE SCALP

If the prophecy of a prominent local
railroad official is believed there will
be but few railroad systems in this sec
ton of the country within a few years
the railroad official in question makes
the following prediction:
Within ten years all of the railroads
west Of Chicago VIII be embraced in
five great systems"
The above statement opens wide field
for discussion, and Clio b reporter
questioned several leading railway men
yesterday to assertion what the general
consensus of opinion was on the sub
ject.
The majority of those interviewed con-
CURED in the prediction. One of them
said:
II have watched the trend of
railway consolidation in the past few
years and | am convinced that the next
ten years will find all of the roads west
of Chicago a part and parcel Of one of
FIVE great systems"
To show to what extent the system
making movement has progressed the
Railway Age has "tabulatsd the railway
copanieS Of this country and Canada
which control over 1900 miles of track
The table shows that today over twenty
eight corporations, either by direct opeF-
alton or through subordinate organiza-
ton, control over 147 600 miles of road.

ECLIPsES INFLUENCE BABIES.
SuperstitiOus Belief In West Indies
mountaineering EVIL Effects.


Cuba and Porto Rico lay outside the
sun; in fact. the amount of observation
was rather less than was observed in
New York. or more correctly than would
have been observed if the clouds had per-
mitted. None the less, to the eclipse is
to be charged large amount of infant III
health and mortality.
In those islands all mothers and nurses
have fear of the evil operation of an
eclipse on tender infants. They say that
it is a fear that the children will be hit
by the eclipse, but If any one should sug-
gest that it is the devil which does the
hitting the statement will not be disputed
by adult Cubans and Porto Ricans. The
only remedy against the malign influence
that is known is to strip the babies as
soon as the eclipse begins and expose
them in the open air unattended until the
shadow has passed entirely off the sun.
If the child gets case of pneumonia or
bronchitis as the result of the several
hours of exposure, it Is proof positive that
it has been hit by the devif behind
the ASTRONOMICAL phenomenon il the baby
escapes it's due entirely to the purity of
it's soul.
When any child is ''hit' it is taken
first to the padre for the expulsion of
the devil, and then to the 'medico" for
the completion of the treatment In all
such cases the approved treatment con-
sists of the administration of an emetie
to dislodge the devil of the eclipse and
confidence that all will go well under the
influence of faith and medicine On the
morning of the eclipse the weather in
Cuba, at least on the north shore, was
decidedly raw, and a large proportion of
the exposed children took colds and died
Children who are not thus exposed at
the time of an eclipse and supposed, ac-
cording to local superstition, to be "hit''
by the eclipse "diabolo" in less manifest
ways, and to be beyond these methods Of
cure. All children who have never been
exposed to this treatment must be expos
ed to the eclipse or take the consequences.

BUILDING TWO LINERS.
Description of the Pair of MI. HiIl's
New Steamships.

Two of James J. HiHs new oceanic
liners to be used in the service of the
Great Northern Steamship company, Mr..
Hills latest venture are rapidly APP
preaching completion. They are being
built at New London, Conn, by the East
ern Ship Building company.
While in length they will not be as
long as some of the fast Atlantic passen-
ger greyhounds, they will have fully as
great carrying capacity, and that is the
only thing Mr.. Hill is after. The length
of the two ships now on the ways is $50
feet. They will be 73 feet wide and So
feet deep, with q displacement of $4,000
tons, which will give a carrying tonnage
of about 10000 tons. The Oceanic, of the
White Star line, which is 704 feet in
length, has no greater displacement than
the two Hill boats, the extra length being
used to accommodate immense engines
for speed purposes. The Hill boats will
not run more than fourteen miles an
hour, consequently the saving in boiler
to cargo space. 1t is understood that
eight of these ships will be built in this
city When they arrive on the Pacific
coast. they will make a tremendous SEN
sation. They will have many features
unique in the shipping world, for in
stance. automatic apparatus for feeding
the furnaces. There will be over fifty Ia
Dor and time-saYing devices.
The greatest feature will be in the ap-
pliances for saving time and labor in
loading and unloading. The ships will
be loaded directly from cars and into
cars, without the use of warehouses, thus
saving an immense amount Of time and
labor.

RAILROADS VS.. BROKERS.

ways as thorny as possible have not
been satisfactory to them. They believe
that when 1t comes to war there is
strength in union The success with
which the proceedings inaugrated by the
Colorado Midland against ticket brokers
have been crowned has done more than
anything else to spur the railroads to
united action against the ticket brokers'.
The Colorado Midland scored against
forgers of tickets to the extent of land
ing them behind prison bars The East
ern lines believe that brokers can be
made to answer for every act of altera-
ton, and they will leave nothing undone,
in case of their organizing. to make a
vigorous campaign The hope for the
ultimate passage of the anti-scalping bill
by congress has lost much Of it's strength,
although the railroad officials, generally
speaking, figure that sooner or later it
will become effective against the brokers.
