LAckAWANNA NOTES.

A special car has been fitted ont
with all modern appliances for testing
the eyesight and hearing of en-
ployees. which will be run over the
road making stops wherever neces-
sary. The Lackawanna authorities
have desired for some time to have the
men examined on these vital points
to every railroader, and the fitting up
of special car proves an excellent
way for facilitating matters.
An order has been issued to train
men to the effect that greater
care should be used in the handling
of coach, sleeper, or dining car, to be
coupled Passenger cars of any kind
when occupied, should not be cut loose
from an engine when being switched
to siding, or in any other way. Nor
should engines be detached until the
car reaches a proper place and is
stopped

George Lori Day, formerly a we'll
known resident of this place died on
Friday of last week in a private hos
pital i'll New York as the result of an
operation performed on the previous
Wednesday. He had been a sufferer
from kidney trouble and as the opera
tion was severe one and difficult
one to perform, his death was not
entirely unexpected.
Mr.. Day was born in February, 1861
in New York City, and was the son
of Henry Day and Mrs Phoebe Lord
Day, daughter of the late Daniel
Lord.
He graduated from Princeton
University at the head of the class of
'82. After leaving Princeton spent
year in travel and study in Europe
and returning to New York. he became
a member of the Tribune's staff At
the request of his father he gave up
newspaper work and studied law.
He took course in the Columbia
Law School and entered the offices of
Lord, Day g Lord, becoming member
of the firm in 1889. In 1898, he sue
ceeded his father, who died in that
year, as trustee of the will of William
Astor.
An enthusiastic sportsman, Mr.. Day
was at one time we'll known mem Der
of the Morristown and Meadow Brook
Polo Clubs and of the Meadow Brook
Hunt Club. While foxhunting on
Long Island in November. 1894. he
was severely injured by fall from
his horse. Although he recovered
from tha immediate effects of the
accident. his general health had been
SO seriously affected that he was
obliged to give up his law practice
and resigned as trustee under William
Astor's will.
Being interested in yachting,
primarily for the sake of his health,
he devoted most all of his time to
cruising. He made several trips to
Europe in his yacht. the Fleur de
Lys. In 1896, he married Miss Adele
Militant in the Islani of Jersey Mr..
Day was on his yacht not far from
Lisbon at the outbreak of the Spanish
American war, and his yacht had
some very narrow escapes from
becoming Spanish prize. Recently
he built new sailing yacht,
Endymion, and on it he made trip
to Europe in the spring which broke
the record for sailing yachts in
cruising the Atlantic The trip was
made in thirteen days and twenty
hours
Mr.. Day was a brother Of Mrs r.
Hall Mccormack, ofChicago, and Mrs,
Charles Thorndihe Parker Of New
York City He was member Of the
Union, University, Racquet Meadow
Brook and New York Yacht Clubs.

TIE REpOsTER's NOTE BOOK.

A teacher in school, not many
miles from Morristown, recently gave
a series of talks to her pupils on
physiology aud hygiene, and on the
approach of the Christmas vacation,
little story on the human body. The
following IS copied from the compost
tion of QUE small boy, who had been
thoughtful listener:
1.-THE human body is divided into
three parts the head, the borax and
the abdomen. The head contains the
brains, and sometimes the soul; the
Dorax contains the heart and the vital
organs, and the abdomen has the
novels. of which there are five, a. 9, i, o
and and sometimes W and y.

prolonged thinking, has invented a
process whereby the new laid eggs
remain NOV laid' for an indefinite

food. 1t will no longer be necessary
for even the least favored boarder to
crack with care and caution this
inevitable staple of his matutinal
meal. 1t may be year. two years
or five years old, yet the egg will be
