No Private Interview.

he stood at the open door Of lawyers

Cant you speak right out from

reply after looking the man over.

ness"
"Confdential--str private and
confidential, sir"
well, I have no time to grant you a

"Frieasseed Nightmare"

God has given US capacity to enjoy
food That Is not the principal object
in eating. One goes to a dinner and
after eating all that he really desires
and more than is beneficial thinks he
will add little Of the compounds they
call dessert-the invention Of the dev-
il-and becomes uncomfortable and
wretched. Most Of the desserts we
have might be called "fricasseed night
mare" or "escaloped Indigestion" Eat
ing becomes idolatry If it becomes un-
fitting for higher service. 1t is q crime
to gorge and be uncomfortable or to
induce q headache. I once attended a
dinner at the invitation Of a parish
ioner and was asked to accompany
lady to the table. I did not need to
eat, but I offered to help her to what
ever she desired, and she asked for
chicken salad, remarklng, "It always
gives me q wretched headache, but ]
am going to have some" and I replied,
''Then you may help yourself, for I
will t."-Address by DR.. Pierson.

MARKET FOR OUR GOODS.
China Offers q Wonderful Field for
American Enterprise

From Leslie's Weekly.
Nowhere else are the principles of sound
banking better known and understood or SO
universally practiced. while the word of a
Chinese merchant is accepted the wcrld
around. The Chinese were the first to coin
money, and they have long since solved the
problem of bank-note issues. Business con-
! ditions are stable and values settled. Their
internal commerce Is highly developed, and
all products that can stand their slow meth
DDS Of transportation are well distributed.
Yet this, the greatest country in the world,
is without any of the modern means of
transportation and exchange Its immense
traffic Is still handled in the most primitive
manner-strings Of camels that reach from
the city gate to the horizon carry the tons
of coal for the peoples fuel. Pack mules
fruits silks and rugs. return with salt
fish and sea weeds. Heavy carts groan be-
meath. casks of fragrant wines. Towboats
are dragged along the canals and rivers by
dozens Of straining men. The travelling
merchant may make his trip by cart, boat
or sedan chair, II the weather be mild, but
IL 1t be winter the mule-htter will carry
him over the rougher country. or he may
skim along the waterways on light sled
propelled by human arms and legs.
The great empire Of China must be sup
piled with adequate means of transporta-
ton, and that means the building of the
greatest system of railroads the world has
yet seen. Our country. with its population
of 90 ,000, 600. supports 10000 miles of rail-
read, or an average OF twenty-sfx miles OF
railroad for each 1000 OF our popuiation;
for over 100000 miles of railroad. 1t
therefore requires no stretch of the imagi-
nation to see that China. with her 400. 900
of people, can and will support 100000 miles
of railroad. 1t has taken US the best part
of hundred years to build up our present
railroad system, and today the entire pro-

NOT RE 4 DT FOR 1T.

The proposed electric express railroad
between Manchester and Liverpool will
probably not be started this year. The
plan for such a road on the one-rail
principle has been under consideration
by committee of the House of Com
mons with view to finding out wheth-
err a speed of 10 miles an hour is snfe
and whether it's construction would in
wade existing rights. 1t was testified
that 1870 or even $50 miles an hour would
be practicable and safe for passengers
but there might be difficulty about APP
plying the brakes on a train going over
100 miles an hour. 1t would be difficult
to stop a train at such speed within 500
yards, and 900 yards might be required.
If stopped too suddenly passengers
would be dangerously shaken up and
perhaps injured. Engineers seem to

SOME THTNKTNE,

| The other day the Bar Association of
| the City of New York said it thought
that John r. Hazel, nominated for
judge of the United States District
court, was not fit for the place. Sena-
tor Platt said he thought that major
ity of the Senate judiciary committee
was for Hazel and that he would be
confirmed without any trouble. Yester-
day the Senate subcommittee on judi
ciary reported to the full committee on
the Hazel case, advising that the NOM
ination be reported favorab1y. The
committee debated the matter for more
than an hour, and then voted so to re-
port. Only one vote was cast against
the report, that of Senator Pettus of
Alabama, Democrat.
Senator Platt's thought has PANIED
out all right so far. He has shown
himself to be very accurate thinker in
several matters.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1900-06-05

| have agreed that the proposed speed of
Ito miles would not endanger the struc-
ture supporting the train, or be likely
| to produce accidents. A railroad on the
mono-rail principle is in operation in
Germany, though not at the high speed
desired between Liverpool and Man
chester.
The committee reports against the
project, 1t admits that "the mono-rai
system when fully matured is likely to
make an important contribution to the
development of railroad traffic at high
speed" The principle involved is con-
coded to be good. But the committee
was mot satisfied that a safe method
of applying brakes to trains going at
very high speed had been devised Be-
sides this there was a disregard OF
existing interests in the route selected
for the proposed railroad. 1t would not
serve the district between Manchester
and Liverpool, though it would call
upon it to make sacrifices. At Stafford
and at Liverpool the exercise OF the
right of eminent domain would inter-
fere with important existing interests.
Another drawback was that the COM
pany did not propose to enter the cities
of Liverpool and Manchester under
ground, and nowadays an underground
approach is the only one that deserves
to be considered when new railroad is
proposed.

A Maine Version.

Maud Muller pumped on her timeworn bike
For an evening hit ut the dusty pike.
An old drop frame of way down gear,
With rattle the sleeping dead could near
The judge came pounding along behind,
Out airing his great judicial mind
He noted the figure neat and trim
And the graceful motion of hidden limb,
And be said to himself in his grave delight
whats the matter with Maudie? She's all
right,
He drew beside her and asked her fat
Why she rode such an old ice cart as that,
And she said saleslady could III support
Such wheel as the Judge Of the district
court.
He told her she could on chainless ride,
With a diamond frame, II she'd be his bride,
Or If she would bust up his solo life
They would tandem together as man and
wife
Maud bit at the bait like hungry trout
And the old man smiled as he yanked her
out.
They ride on tandem now, of course,
But Maud has to work like treadmili
horse,
For the judge has learned how to sit and
shirk
And let his darling do all the work.
He weighs two hundred and fifty-one.
But the poor girl thinks 1t an even ton,
And she often says, with pain rent heart,
II wish | was back on my old ice cart!

The truest are these, he's bloomin' fake"
