the shooting of the president is the
Ioutcropping, in an obscure way, of the
hayGua rket riots in Chicago and that
| it will be found that eventually Zol-
gosz, the would-be assassin, had some
connection with the group of persons
associated in the Chicago anarchist
! riot. Secret service officials are of
this opinion because of the man and
the fact that he is probably from the
same general section of the country
as some OF the haymarket partici-
pants. The secret service bureau had
the Paterson, N. j., group of anar.
chists thoroughly under surveillance
and are confident Nieman has no as

service operatives were in Buffalo

shooting and another was on his way
to Cleveland. While the theory Of

matter are at this time known to the

High Speed by Trolley Car in Phila-
 delphia.
 In whatever other respects Philadei- phia may be slow she has trolley car which sweeps through the city in the gray hours of dawn and which. taken day by day, is swifter than anything else of it's kind or class in the world, says the New York Sun. It starts from the heart of the city Just after the newspapers are out of press and tears away through the silent streets In northerly and westerly direction, up and down hill and along valleys, with occasional stops to throw out bundles until twenty-seven minutes later IL rests on the northern summit of Chest nut hill. fourteen and three-quafter miles away. This is at the average s.te of thirty-fya miles all hour, in cluding at least one stop every three fourths of a mile Sometimes on it's route it has run a mile in minute and an eighth and it has made the dis tance in twenty-five minutes, laclud- ing the stops, which Is just the sched- ule time of the steam express trains for practically the same distance between the same places, though on neither the Reading nor the Pennsylvania rail- ways do the trains make any stops. Sometimes as on market day, there are Interruptions, when sleepy teams get on the lines of metals, and occa- sionally another trolley car gets be- hind time and doesn't give it the right of way promptly, but despite the oeca- sional delays, for two years, in al! conditions of weather, faciI g rain or snow, with mechanical incidents ad- verse to it's career, 1t has made on an average thirty-fVe trips out of thirty five OH time and only once has it been longer than forty-five minutes in cov- ering the distance. On that occasion the wreck of hay wagon was on the road and for this the Eagle Flight trolley was not responsible From the fact that this car carries the morning newspapers for distribution it might be thought to be journalistic enter prise in Philadelphia, but this is not the case It is an experiment by the Union Traction company to test the maintenance of high speed and the evenness of schedule time under con ditions peculiarly favorable for secur- ing exact factors for all the problems it is sought to solve. Every trip is ob- served by electrical experts, the induc tion is estimated, the power measured, the state of the metal, the thermomet. rical and barometrcal conditions noted as well as the humidity and fog at the different elevations along the line, and when 1000 trips have been made the data thus gathered will be considered, with a view of formulating a result to be applied in such directions of econ omy and accelerated speeds as may be opened up.

FOR SLEEPLESS ONES.
Darkness the Proper Time for Refreshing
 Sleep.


 The old tradition that the hours of Sleep before midnight are hours of beauty sleep means only that late Hours take away beauty Thousands of night workers will testify that eight hours of sleep from 10 to 6 is worth ten hours taken after retiring at o'clock in the morning. Darkness is the proper time for the sleep that does the most good. It is not we'll to sleep in room ill which plants are grow .ag. Their food is carbonie acid gas. Ii they can live there the room is d bad nlace for you to sleep in. Besides, plants use up q good deal of oxygen and give off etfluva and pollen irritat ing to the human system. The sound est sleep is during the frs. three or four hours after going to bed This has been ascertained by scientific ex- pertinent, though most people think they sleep soundest just before the time when conscience tells them to get up. Insomia often comes from over eating. A little dieting may do more good than lot of doctors prescrip- tlons. More persons suffer from over eating than from overworking. Long, deep breathing kept Up as long as pos sible by will power is the most gen orally recommended remedy for occa- sional sleeplessness. The main aim in such cases is to keep the mind from thinking This is sometimes accom- plished by the strain of keeping the eye fixed on some point in the ceiling or keeping the will fixed on the effort not to move even the smallest muscle Monotony will put any man to sleep in spite Of himself. Most psychologists acknowledge that deep study of any subject just before going to sleep may result in something like a revelation as to some phase of the subject, the mind through unconscious cerebration accomplishing wonders without the as- distance of the will Passa ges to be mcmorized should be repeated several times before going to bed. Sometimes the sleeplessnss 9t children is owing to exctation of the digestive organs In that case it is . good plan to allow ouly vegetable foods at the evening meal

LIEUTENANrS REMAINS.
Found ThirtyTwo Years After His Death
 in Rattle With Indiana.

in Battle With Indiana.
 Denver Cor. New York Sun: For thirty-two years the bones of Lieuten- ant Fred H. Beecher of Forsyth's Scouts, were buried in the sands of the Arickare. All that time has left has now been recovered and will be sent to Brooklyn relatives for whom the search was made. Previous ef- forts to locate the last resting place of the officers who fell in that desper- ate encounter with the Cheyenne h. dians under Roman Nose were fruit less. A few years after the Lleuten- ants death an unsuccessful search was made under the direction of his uncle, Henry Ward Beecher. The story of the bravery of General Forsyth's little band of scouts has been told many times and the naming of the sandy isle at the mouth of the Arickare after Lieutenant Beecher will always recall this fight, famous in Colorado history, and almost parallel to that of the Lit tie Big Horn. General Forsyth, Lieu, tenant Beecher and forty-seyen men were rounded in 1867 by nearly 1000 In1. ns. They defended them- selves as best they cou at place that has since been named Beecher island Two men, Charles Christy and Fletcher Vilotte, got through the In- dian lines and finally brought relief. Lieutenant Beecher was fatally wounded and died half an hour after being shot Christy and Vilotte form ed part of the burying squad. They were present at the dedication of a monument on Beecher island recently and found the grave in which Beecher was buried.
 Lieut.. Frederick Henry Beecher was a son of Rev. Charles Beecher and a nephew of Rev Henry Ward Beecher. Lieut.. Beecher was born at New Or leans, June 22, 1841. He was gradu- ated at Bowdoin in 1862 and immedt- ate1y enlisted as a private in the vol unteer army He was in all the bat ties of the Army of the Potomac from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg. was twice severely wounded and was pro- noted to the rank of first lieutenant. In 1864 he received commission in the regular army and in July, 1866, be- came first lieutenant in the Third United States infantry. General Ho- ratio C. King of Brooklyn. said that he thought that Lieutena1t Beecher's s body -tas removed by tfA soldiers at the tisue of his death.

Reform That's Suggested for Com
 Inerciai CorresDondence


 Not content with the destruction of the art of letter. writing through the invention of the telegraph, the type writer and other time-saving devices, n iconoclastic Camden genius makes what he calls plea for reform in commercial correspondence by elimi- a2t5Eg the few courteous words, such .s Dear Sir" and Yours very truly" which still survive in the arid waste at business letters. By actual experi- ment,' he says in the Philadelphia Reeera, 'sit will be found that it takes f9rma! introductions and conclusions to 800 letters. Now, the estimated t0tal annual letter mail of the world s 5000 000 900 pieces Of course. this is not all commercial correspondence, nor is it all typewriter, but for the purpose of having some statistical starting point it will be assumed that ii is. To write the Dear sirs' and \ CUTS very tr1lys' for this number Of pieces would take one typewriter l6,000 900 days, or allowing 300 work ing days to the year, about 6,100 years. 10 translate this into an approXima tion of it's money value, allowing s10 as the wage of the typewriter and eight hours as the average days work. the cost would be $3,350 000 Is it worth it? Or. to go step further, is it worth anything? Little by little the forms of address have been con- densed until such old-sehool phrases as My Dear and Respected Sir and Your humble and obedient servant are obsolete. Why not continue the good work and reform it altogether?' Why not adopt the following sensible, straightaway, businesslike form:
 John Smith & Co:
 We wish to order. etc.
 T. Brown X Co That is what you mean. Why not say it and stop?"

A Frenci, Fraud.

The l'arisians are copying after the proverbial Yankee in shrewIHess, but, like all mitators, they lack the skill of the genuine. It now seems that at the Paris exhibition. what vas sup posed to be the biggest telescope in the world. and which was to bring the moon within four miles of the world, is a fake. The moon thus shown is always full moon In fact, the tele- scope is no telescope at all in the proper sense of the word. fer in place of the object glass is q large trans parency Of the moon. No matter whether the moon in the sky be new or in the quarters, the view shown is always in the full. Now, if this had been a Yankee. he would at least have carried the joke far enough to repre- sent Luna in all her phases.--Phila- delphia Record

THE TRANS-ANDINE RAILROAD
II Is Not Yet Completed, Though
shown without "A Break on
Some German Maps

Some recent works Of reference speak
of the trans-Souih American railroad
from Buenos Ayres TO Valparaiso as
though it were now in full operation;
and on at least three German maps OF
lS9s, supposed TO be authoritative, the
road is shown without break, says
the New York Sun.
The fact is, however, that this i'm
portant addition to the railroad facili-
ties Of South America is not yet com
pleted and is not likely to be for some
years to come. According to Mr.. L. A.
Fitz Gerald, the explorer Of Mount
Aconcagua, the road has been advanced
on the Chilian side Of the Andes up TO
the mountains and some way into them
on the Argentine side, but in March last
there were still "A miles Of the most
difficult part OF the road to build and
further progress will necessarily be
very slow.
At that time the road had been com
plcted up TO Punta de las Vacas, in the
mountains on the Argentine side, and
to Salto del Soldado on the Chilian side.
The part yet to be built includes tun-
mel under the Cumbre pass, the summit
Of which is l2,7o5 feet above the sea.
The road through the mountains is 1-3
foot gauge, with rack and pinion for
the sleeper grades. Even greater diff
culties are involved than had to be over
come in building the lines into the
Peruvian mountains.
