street Railway Power Brakes.

Ever since street cars were run by other
than horse power there has been an unre-
uniting search for some form of power
brake to replace the hand brake OF the
mOtorman or gripman. II has been recoe-
nized by street railway managers as well as
by municipal authorities that with such
great Increase in speed there should be an
equivalent increase in the brakeing power.
The marked success of the air brake on
steam trains early called attention to this
method of stopping cars. and experiments
We're begun several years ago by some of
the larger rapid transit companies with a
view to ascertaining whether the same
principle could not be applied to the street
traction cars. Later, when electricity de-
veloped It's high efficiency as a motive
power for cars, attention was directed
toward the use of the current for this
same purpose. Many inventions have been
more or less perfected until there are now
upward Of a score of appliances termed
power brakes applicable for this particular
service.
For several seasons the Metropolitan
Railroad Company of New York has been
conducting costly tests TO determine the
efficiency of one and another of these ap-
planes. and has sought TO devise some
thing satisfactory itself. But to little or
no effect. Recently the matter was taken
up by tie state railroad commission OF New
York and official tests were made of the
best OF the devices with results Just pub
lshed in an official report. The conclusions
are not reassuring. They certainly do not
show that satisfactory and reliable power
brake has yet been found although they
indicate that marked advance has been
attained during the past few years.
The great difficulty in the way Of a street
car power brake arises from the brevity Of
the average run and. correspondinsly, the
number Of stops. The run being short 1t
n difficult to store power from the axle.
and the stops being frequent the drain
upon the source Of power Is severe. This
seems to present q paradox. 1t has been
measurably overcome. though not to the

Notwithstanding Charity.

From present indications the funds for
the relief of the sufferers at Galveston and
the other cities wrecked by the gulf storm
will aggregate several million dollars. The
totals already reported in various cities are
large that 1t is clear that this disaster
will evoke a more generous response than
was ever before recorded under similar cir
cumstances. There IS good reason for
breaking all records. however The losses
are unprecedented and the necessities are
overpowering. The emergency is not to be
measured alone by the loss Of life which
is estimated now as high as 10000. 1t is
the living VINO need help. Yet the death list
in a degree reflects the distress of the
survivors. for in hundreds, probably thou
Sc nds OF instances wage-earners have been
killed. leaving families destitute. Industries
have been wrecked throwing thousands Of
others out of employment. 1t will be
months before Galveston has been restored
To a basis OF self-support. and meanwhile
there must be means to keep the dependent
ones alive and. perhaps to put them on
the road toward independence once more
Fortunes have been swept away. Homes
have been destroyed The disaster has
been inexpressbly complete. So there will
be good use for every dollar that may be
gathered in the cities. Even though the fund
We're to reach sJ.OOO.00O. as Is now esti-
mated by some. it will not be too large
sither to express the grief of the country
Or the necessities OF the parayzed region
Incidentally this wonderful outburst of
practical sympathy reflects the prosperous
condition Of the country. Charities con-
Quoted any scale indicate how large is
the margin of individuals over their needs
and therefore no surer testimony to the
good times could be mad than the leaps
and bounds by which the funds have been
increased in virtually every center of popu-
lation in this country. large and small
Charity begins at home" and in times Of
stringency IT is difficult to appeal success
fully TO the generosity of people even
when the distress Is acute

OF course, Mr.. Thielkuhrs story may be
grossly unjust to Mr.. Davis. 1t may be a
base and calumnious fabrication, inspired
by Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain of Birmingham.
and paid for by Mr.. Cecil Rhodes Of Kim
berley. for the purpose Of injuring the rep
utation of Paul Kruger and his gallant and
chivairous champion. MIR. Webster Davis.
II so. and if Mr.. Davis deems it worth
while to prove 1t so. we shall hasten with
great Joy to give that gratifying aspect of
the case the publicity 1t deserves For some
such sequel to Mr.. Thielkuhl's charges we
shall eagerly look. 1t would be real loss
to faith in human nature to be per-
suaded that Mr.. Davis rhetorical attacks
upon the administration and upon the re-
publican party had no better basis than pc
cuniary disappointment. 1t would be a
dreadful calamity to be deprived Of the fond
conviction that Mr.. Davis Is the man of the
finest sentiments in the world since the I'M
timely demise Of the late lamented Joseph
Surface.

Swinging SignbOard Menace.

about the proportion In every high wind.
As a matter of fact. Chicago may be said
to be sign-ridden. The big merchants are
content with a simple announcement of the
name and character of business which,
from the point Of view OF safety and sight

While Thad Stevens lay dead. his body
waiting burial, his loyal constituents as
sembled at Gettysburg and solemnly re-
nominated him to his old seat in Congress.
When the funeral was over, however, th1a
action was reconsidered and a new candi-
date chosen. The people who voted for
Captain Boutelle did 1t with the knowledge
that his most unfortunate mental malady
would prevent his attendance upon Con-
gress, and even might leave him in ignor-
ance of their remarkable exhibition of feal-
ty while the district would remain unrep-
resented, yet they commissioned him anew
by a f1attering vote.
