A Woman.h nrmament.

In July, 1898, the steamer Pegu
stopped at the East Indian port of
Erid, one Of the places where pepper
is taken on. At that port the steamer
was boarded by II Achinese men and
one woman. Capt. Ross, who COM
manded the steamer, searched the men

ing natives on board a merchantman
The men were found to be unarmed
but the woman, as afterwards was
learned, had concealed about her cloth
ing a fine assortment of Malay knives.
When the captain and the chief engi-
neer Cragie, were at dinner, six
armed Achinese burst into the cabin
and attacked them with great fury.
The officers defended themselves with
chairs, and although badly slashed,
managed to reach the deck. Cragie
ran to the engine room and locked
himself in, but the captain was cut to
pieces as soon as he reached the deck.
Meantime the other Achinese had kill
ed the mate and the man at the wheel,
cutting them down on the bridge. Two
more of the crew were killed on deck.
There were several Chinese passengers
on board. five Of whom were killed
outright, and five driven overheard,
where they drowned. The Achinese
ran among the passengers and crew,
cutting right and left, and wounding
IA of them. Having terrorized every
one left alive on board they broke

The Automobile,s MIssIon.

The automobile, of course, will finish
the work the bicycle in this country
began for the improvement of the
roads With the automobile here in
quantity the traffic of the streets will
become far more congested than at
present. The horse will be eliminated,
to be sure, but his place will be more
than taken by the increase in the num-
Der of machines If once the price is
brought down to reasonable figure
and the department stores begin offer
ing bargains in them. From this will
arise the necessity of more stringent
street regulations, for the horse has an
amount of intelligence in threading
his way through crowded streets, in
avoiding obstacles and in slowing
down to avoid disaster that we shall
only appreciate when he is gone The
present helter.skelter way of traver-
sing the streets will have to change to
one more orderly And one advantage
Of the change will be the possibility OF
preserving a regularity in speed, I'M
possible now when all heavy trucking
has to go at the slow walk Of horse,
while passengers are not content to so
at less than nearly twice as fast With
automobiles in use for everything, 1t
will be possible to move steadily along
at -four or FIVE miles an hour The
street cars in the congested portions,
instead OF changing their way through
the crowd, viii move along about as
fast as the trucks, and a tremendous
amount of complication will be saved.

In an article on "Giant Wheat
Farms" Pearsons Magazine says: "A
few figures showing the immensity Of
the wheat crop in the United States
and the cost of producing it may be Of
interest. The harvesting machines
made and sold in one year would form
a solid procession from Chicago to
New York City, or would almost con.
struct a fence around England and
Scotland. The twine used in tying the
bundles would reach around the earth
800 times, and the freight cars reces.
sary to haul It would make a train
fifty miles long. The saving by the
use of machinery in each year on
American farms would more than pay
the national debt of Great Britain"

THE HALF-cENr PIECE.
IL the Proposed New Coin BE Useful
to Shoppers?

to shoppers?
The bargain counter of the depart
ment store, which has been fought
over by women for the last decade,
and which has fourished despite the
united efforts of the comic artist and
the joke writer, is receiving official
recognition as an American institu'
tions, says the ST. Louis Republic.
Its influence has dictated a bill
which is to be submitted to congress
authorizing the coming and circula'
tion throughout the United States ol
half-cent pieces. The secretary of the
treasury, who, by the way halls from
that hotbed of bargain counters, Chi
cago, is said to be favorably impressed
with the demand for the 5-mill coin
and the comptroller of the currency
has thus far entered no protest.
The measure has friends by the
score in both halls Of the congress
and it is limited that an army of fe
male lobbyists is to be turned loose
on" the unfavorable members when
the bill comes up for consideration.
This would seem to insure its passage,
unless some woman-hating Moses
should arise and lead the bill into the
dark and devious wilderness of "the
table" Chicago and Philadelphia
are said to be responsible for this new
legislative move. The enterprislnd
bargain-counter men OF these cities
have been racking their brains for q
new way to appeal to the female con
eeption of frugalty. They have
learned, with profit, that 80 cents
seems a lot less to the bargain-huntel
than 81, and argue, to themselves
that 9sh cents would seem much less
still. Some Of them hit upon the plan
of putting fractional prices on their
wares and giving checks for the odd
half cent. Some of these checks were

THE B. g. O. SOUTHWESTERN ABSORBED.
On July the B. & 0. Company Will Begin Its
Operation.
(By the Associated Press }

Baltimore Md, April 13.-It was stated
in railroad circles here today that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
would on July 1st begin the operation of
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern.
The agreement, it was learned, was
reached at d recent conference between
President Cowen and Chairman of the
Board Salomon OF the Baltimore and
Ohio and President Bacon and other Off
cials CT the Baltimore and Ohio South
western.
+ The merging Of the two companies into
one management will necessitate many
changes among the heads of various de-
partments. especially Of the Southwestern
Company. The character of these changes
have not as yet been decided upon, but
it is understood that the jurisdiction of
the Baltimore and Ohio officials will be
extended over the absorbed road
Wm. NJ Greene, Vice President and
General Manager of the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern, will continue in the
service of the company, probably in the
capacity of Third Vice President, which
office will be especially created for him.
He will have charge CT the operating and
traffic departments OF the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern, which will be known
as the Southwestern Division of the Bal
timore and Ohio, and will continue his
headquarters at Cincinnati.
The Baltimore and Southwestern main
line extends from Belpre. Ohio, TO st.
Louis. Mo-, distance Of about 921 miles,
with branches to Louisville, Ky. and
Springfield. Ills The acquisition of this
system will increase the mileage of the
Baltimore and Ohio to nearly 5000 miles
and wnen the PittsDurg and Western is
acquired the Baltimore and Ohio will have
total mileage Of about 1850, extending
from Philadelphia to ST. Louis and reach
ing the important cities of Baltimore,
Washington, Pittsburg, Wheeling, Cincin'
natl, Columbus Chicago, Louisville and
Cleveland
