what he would do If ne did not secure
relief in some way. Wednesday evening,
when Examiner Simpson called upon him,

he had been able TO sleep for about two

CATCH TRAINS ON FLY.
1nventors Ingenious Scheme to Save
Stopniu1 Exnansaa

stopping Expenses.
Frank Roster of Berlin, has devised
means to enable passengers to board a
train In motion with their luggage, a
thing that We all have been longing
for when seeing our train dash through
q station at which it Is not bound to
stop. The system requires an auxil-
larry track and motor running on it,
neither of which we can find when in
hurry. The proposal may answer,
however, under certain conditions.
The auxiliary track consists of three
sections. The first section is inclined
one way, the middle section horizontal,
the third section inclined the other
way. When the train approaches the
motor starts on its inclined path with
increasing speed The auxiliary track
Is parallel to the main line and may be
situated between the two lines. When
both trains have attained equal speed
= bridge is lowered from on of the
train carriages, by preference the last,
onto the long motor car. The passen-
ger may then step over and have his
luggage thrown after him. On the
third inclined section the motor comes
to rest again. The auxiliary track
would have a length of say half
mile. If the main line is itself inclin-
ED n the opposite way, so that the
II VI passes over the middle section
with reduced speed, all the better

During the long run of Hearts Are
Trumps' at the Drury Lane theater.
in London, 1t became quite fad with
society people to go on with the "su-
ners' and extras" in the Frivolity
Music Hall scene in the play. During
the run Of the play at the Garden thea
ter in New York, last season, Mrs.
Langtry startled her friends by sitting
In box on the stage one night Others
Immediately wanted to follow her ex-
ample, and she, in large measure,
started the fad in New York. Now the
fad threatens to become epidemic
here. Nearly all Of Harvard wants to
"supe" in the big scene for the novelty
OF the thing, and some Of the boys have
gone 80 far as to even offer to pay
for the privilege. Several young fell
lows stopped number Of the regular
"supers" at the stage entrance the
other night and purchased from them
their tickets, which entitle them to
admission to the stage and on which
they get their money at the end of the
week. Andrew Mack. whose company
was resting last week, was one
Of the "supers" early in the week
and was having lovely time Of it
until some of the "supers" recognized
him. At the Wednesday matinee sew
eral young society girls occupied box
in the Music Hall and enjoyed their
visit behind the scenes hugely. While
the play was being given in New York
the management had a queer expert
ence with young man whose family
are among the wealthiest in Gotham.
The young fellow applied for permits
sion to "supe" in the play, and as a
joke it was given him. He was hand
ed ticket like all Of the other "su-
Hers," to be punched every evening and
be presented when the treasurer put
IN an appearance on Saturday night.
He was prompt at all rehearsals. came
to the theater nightly in hanson,
and at the end of the week stood in
line and waited patiently for his sti-
pend. One of the members Of the cast
who knew the young man fairly we'll,
saw him standing in line, waiting for
what must have been to him mere
bagatelle. and twitted him about it.

the wealthy family. somewhat excited
