The earlier railway carriages were,
with the most slavish eXactness, built
on the pattern of the old stage coaches
that preceded hem. Every carriage
was simply three coaches stuck togeth-
er and carried on an iron frame, which
ran upon four wheels. Even the
coachman's seat was reproduced in
grotesque miniature; and each of these
carriages, consisting of three compart-
ments, had the legend inscribed on it
'Tria juncta in uno." 1t took half a
century in this country TO introduce a
new style of carriage; and even now,
though certain details of the old stage
coach have disappeared, the stage
coach pattern is still the one that pre-
walls, though with a growing number
of exceptions both here and through
out Europe.
A still more remarkable example of
the same persistence of type and the
same inability of the human magma
ton to change it is afforded us by the
motor-car. Nothing impedes the popu-
larity of the motor-ear so much as the
fact that it's appearance Is to our eyes
awkward and even ridiculous. Con-
slant efforts are being made to over
come this defect; but hitherto they have
been made in vain. The reason is SIM
ply this-that the human imagination Is
altogether dominated by the old idea of
carriage drawn by horses; and no one
has hitherto been able to design a car
which does not suggest carriage from
which the horses have been taken out.
There is consequently in the whole
structure want Of balance and mean
ing; and a motor-car in motion with it's
priver in a peaked cap gives the i'm
preston that while the coachman was
batting the horses, some demon in the
disguise of a mechanic had got up on
the box and was making the vehicle 60
as kind of practical joke. This un-
fortunate result can be obviated only
by the introduction of some design al
together new and original; but though
the human imagination can multiply
ideal republics, it has hitherto proved
unable to present us with a new pat
tern for agonette.-London Saturday

his voice was quite sad. He had. in

The girl whirled about lightly on

Jack Wnimpett sat in his own house
and endeavored to read the book he
had brought home from the public IL
brary. 1t was a good book, but he
could not really understand it because
Of the fiddling next door. which got
into his blood and made his heart
dance though he forced his feet to
keep perfectly still. He had no mind
to let the feet Of a Whimpett make
merry to the music of q Hennessey.
Besides. as mentioned before. the Hen-
nssseys and the Whimpetts had been
at 1t again.
1t was close summer night, and he
determined at length, the younger
children being in bed. his mother nod
ding over her paper. and his father not
yet home-he was on a night shift at
the yards-to 60 out for little air.
He had to pass the Hsnnesseys' door
to reach the stairs. and he meant not
to acknowledge the merry-making by
even turn Of the head. But there
was such glare Of light. such babel
of voices. such q whishing Of starched
skirts. that because he was not yet

thing Jack had ever seen OF the stage.
and he stopped as il an enchantment
had been cast over him. and from the
safe gloom of the hall stared upon this
apparition. Some one spoke to the
girl, but she did not turn her head.
She still looked in Jacks direction.

"Come!" said he.
The girl blushed, hesitsted, harked
to the rhythm of the waltz, and then
laid her white hand on Jacks arm.
They went waltzing in and out amid
the shadows of the corridor. At the
far end the music stopped. The girl
sprang from Jacks arms, looked At

still a refusal, and at home he was

wrath which the Whimpstts and Hen

outrageous offspring. But that did not
keep roses from being thrown over the

paper boxes OF ice cream from finding
their way to her hand. and ultimately
to her mouth. And to cap 1t all, one
night when Mick Hennessey was home,

did not believe that their interests
would be protected under Democrat

"In nations which have large

EFFORTS OF CLERGYMEN.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September ~.
Everything quiet and orderly, is the
report that comes from the strike re-
gion A few more mine workers joined
the strikers ranks to-day but not many.
The temper of the mine owners on
the question of arbitration Is indicated
in Interviews and statements given out
to-day is very much against the propo-
sition. Nevertheless, Father Phillips
came Aere from the Hazleton region to-
night and is with Archbishop Ryan in
consultation on the subject very near
ana dear TO his heart, the quick settle
ment OF the strike by arbitration or any
other honorable means. Protestant
clergymen in Hazle'ton have Also taken
up the matter and will endeavor to
bring Jhe opposing elements together
amicably.
Coal scarcity is more keenly felt to-
day and although the Reading Company
is mining and shipping it's usual quota
of Anthracite, dealers are finding it nard
to get as much as they need. The ton
mage ofIthe other great eCal carrying
companies is gradually diminishing,
however, and in the natural order of
things, unless the strike is settled will
soon cease altogether from some dis
tricts.
Somewhat vague reports are coming
in of preparation on the part of sheTiffs
and coal companies for a possible clash
with the reckless element among the
strikers. Nearly everybody believes
that trouble must come yet there has
been no sign Of an outbreak and the
men appear to be well handled by their
leaders.

FRANKFORT, Ky, September 20
Did Jim Howard have a moustache on
January SO?
On that question in a great measure
depends his liberty, perhaps his life.
The witnesses for the defense, lnciud-
ing the defendant lrimself, all state that
on January 20, and days before, his face
was clean shaver. Bowman Gaines,
Ben Rake and James F. Bailey, who
have identified Howard as the man
they saw on the 30th of January, swear
that he had a moustache.
There goes Jim Howard clean
shaven and better dressed than any
man in town. If he keeps on that way
he win never be able to prove that he
is . fool"
According to his testimony to-day,
ex-State Senator Ed Parker made that
remark in London, on January 20,
where he saw Howard on the streets.
Parker explained that the reason he
had said this was that Howard was
then at London to appear for trial for
the murder of George Baker, and his
plea was insanity.
The defense is resting its case on
the alibi claimed for Howard, and is
not paying any attention to the claim
Of the prosecution that the shot came
from the Secretary of States office and
other collateral matters that figured
largely In the trial of Caleb Powers.

try, about $500, making total of 5000
people.
Along the bay shore from Virginia
Point to Liverpool, for space of six
or eight miles from the bay front, there
are many thousands of dead cattle

In Hitchcock and immediate vicinity
are more than 500 people destitute OF

wave of salt water from four to ten
feet in depth covered this section; 80

An idea of the velocity of the wind
and wave of salt water that swept over

ined when it is known that the Texas

dry in a garden at this place, distance
of eight miles or more from its moor
