are geing equipped with the wireless

this circuit the entire distance between
Hoboken and Morristown as soon as
practicable. supplanting the old wire
system.
For many months the White Oaks
has had for it's sole time-piece with
the exception of Frank MorriSS'S
Waterbury watch) an old clock that
had long ago retired from regular ac-
tive service. Today a bran new. large
wall clock ticks away in accompani-
ment to the click of the telegraph in
struments. The window was crowded
by people setting their watches by it
this morning when Morriss discovered
that it was stopped. He had forgotten
to wind it up.
A young man of FL Paso. who should
have known better. seeing a vacancy
in the telegraph department of the
Santa Fe and knowing telegrapher
who wanted a job. wired the tele-
grapher that he knew of an opening
for him. The telegrapher is an o. r.
hence the conclusion that the young
man should have known better. The
young man answered that it was on
the Santa Fe. The answer was brief
and to the point. Go to the devil 1t
would have been stronger but that
was as strong as the wires would
stand.
The following coincidence is said
to have happened at the White Oaks
depo this morning Frank Morriss
came in with his face wreathed in
smiles. telling how popular he had be
come Somebody. presumably some of
his ardent admirers. had serenaded
him. Then G. A. Jameson came in
and he was tickled over the sudden
popularity that had overtaken him.
Somebody had serenaded him. A talk
over the matter developed the fact
that they had both gone to bed early
to sleep eff big supper and their
troubled dreams had been soothed by
the music of the Salvation army being
waited upon the still night air into
their bedrooms.
At the last regular meeting of the
New York Railroad club. Mr.. H. H.
Vreeland was for the third time chosen
to the presidency. During the even
ing of the election the topic. Are six
coupled engines necessary for hauling
trains where runs of 100 miles or more
are made without stop" was dis
cussed and excited much interest The
argument advanced and sustained by
facts demonstrated that the number of
driving wheels of a locomotive coupled
is dependent on the weight of a train.
the grades and speed: that when there
are light trains and light grades. one
pair if driving wheels do the work
satisfactorily. In England, with low
grades and average trains. that condi-
ton prevails, while in this country
similar trains are hauled by four
coupled engines. When trains are long
and grades are heavy siX-coupled en-
gineS are used.

SRORED OUT OF TUNE
Why the Landlady Changed the
Bodrdpr'S Room.

A lady running one of the fashion,
able rooming houses above the S. P.
track says that one of her roomers
came to her the other morning ami
asked that his room be changed. When
asked what displeased him he replied
angrily: well, that German musician
in the next room and l don't get along
well. Last night he footed away on
his clarionet so that l thought that 1
never would go to sleep. After 1 had
caught a few winks l was awakened by
pounding at my door. What's the
natter l asked. If you blease,' said
the German, dot you would schnore of
der same key. You was go from B fiat
to G., and it sboils der music" She
changed his room that day.

Rio 6RANDE VALLEY
One Of the Finest Fruit Growing
Countries In the United States.

THE Rio Grande valley in New
Mexico is one of the finest fruit coufl-
tries in the United States" said A. H.
Graves of Cedar Hill, at the Zeiger.
I'VE had the finest crop there this year
we have ever had and have received
good prices. Even at the high freight
rates we have been shipping most of
our product to Chicago and have got
the best prices in competition with all
the apples of the country. That coun-
try will some day be worth thousands
of dollars to Ell Paso for this will be
our nearest market" Mr.. Graves is
on his way to his old home in Texas
where he has not been for twenty
years.

THE GLASS OF FASHION.

Velvet cravats, gold embroidered, are
shown in the shops.
The bishop sleeve has made its way
to definite favor and, with it's fullness
at the top, is a most comfortable fash
ion.
Panne velvet in all over Moorish and
Persian designs is being much used for
blouses, but the handsomest blouses
yet seen are in white satin, silk or
cloth heavily embroidered.
Autumn neckwear shows but little
that is new. Invention seems to have
been squeezed dry for summer pur-
poses. and the stocks and cravats worn
with summer frocks will be adapted to-
winter use.
The Russian blouse is once more in
evidence, much more Russian and
much more chic than its namesake of
earlier seasons. In velvet it is particu-
larry effective and is trimmed with
bands Of embroidery on cloth or silk.
The flannel shirt waist is coming to
the front in solid battalions and con-
fronts one wherever one turns. Many
of the models, braided, embroidered.
etc. seem to have lost their own charm
of comfortable simplicity and to have
gained nothing that takes it's place.
Some of the most exclusive shops are
showing collars and boleros of cloth of
gold. bordered and appliqued with
heavy ecru lace, and also lace collars
and boleros with gold cloth or tissue
laid under the large open spaces of the
design. While the rest of the lace is left
transparent.
More variety and elegance are dis
played in black goods than in colors so
far this season, despite the prophecy
that black is to be less worn than last
year save by elderly women. Peau de
sole is the favorite black silk, but in
the grapes and crepons and French
novelties there is infinite variety.-New
York Sun.

OPINION DIFFERS
WITHIN THE FREE ZONE ITSELF AS
TO BEST METHOD
OF settering Conditions In the Bor-
der Countrywide President Is
Qeddy To Act When the people
interested Know What They
Want

Since Governor Ahumada and COM
mittee of Juarez citizens visited Pres
ident Diaz asking for some changes in
the free zone, all the Spanish papers
in Mexico have taken up the subject
and. are airing the subject freely.
The papers in Mex ,u~xity, seem to
favor the complete abolition of the
zone but the papery inside the zone are
Directing seriously to the move. They
contend that the zone makes it posi-
BILE for them to buy cheap goods from
the United States when if the zone was
abolished they would have to pay full
duty on their supplies and they cannot
afford it.
The question is a complicated one
and one that takes much study to I'M
derstand. The president has signified
his intention of changing the laws as
soon as remedy can be agreed upon
but as yet the controversy shows no
signs of closing. a difference of opin-
ion exists within the zone that pre-
vents immediate action and until some
agreement can be reached in this sec
ton no changes will be made.

each cold was worse than the one before. My
throat seemed to get weaker, and the least
change in the weather started the coughing
again. The last cold was the most severe of
all, I was really frightened. Cough drops
and home treatment did no good. A friend
told me about Acker's English Remedy. I
got bottle, and you never saw the like of
the way it acted. Before the bottle was gone
l was well. My throat felt as strong and well
as could be. Since then have had no more
trouble. think Acker's English Remedy so
strengthens the delicate lining of the throat
that it easily resists the changes in tempera-
ture, anditbuildsupthec constitution as well"

Artemus Ward used to tell of lee
ture experience which he had in little
place in the far West. There was q
blizzard on the night when he held
forth and consequently the audience
was. small "After my lecture" said
Artemus, 81 ventured to suggest to
the chairman Of the committee that the
elements having been against me that
evening 1 might repeat my talk later
on in the season. After comforting
with his fellow committeeman, the
chairman came back and said to me:
we haven't any objection at all to
your repeating your lecture, but the
feeling is that you had better repeat it
in some other town."
