on THE ALL-NIGHT CARS,
BeIated Passengers Who Make Work

IF you want to get touch OF high

intervals during the early morning hours

diversified and representative lot of Wash
ingtOnians, who at banquets, dinners,
dances or just regular 'toot,' have look
ed on the wine in its redness, is not to be
found gathered within the same small
space. Officials, business men, society
men. newspaper men-in fact, all sorts and
conditions of males-are represented in the
carload which is diminished with great
difficulty at street corners from the middle
section of the town all the way to the end
of the route.
The conductor is a parsonage deserving
great consideration, for, on the % o'clock

ones fare assumes a most delicate signifi-
canoe. and i have seen all the willy argu-
ments of the diplomat and threats of the
buldoZer brought to bear on the poor blue
coat in order to convince him that, having
just that moment fallen on the car, the in
dividual in question paid his fee some
twelve blocks back.
And then there are the unloadingS to be
looked after. An extensively dignifed old
rounder. having suddenly become aware
that his habtation lies some distance due
rth-northeast, holds up three fingers
horizontally at the conductor. Long eX-
perienCe has made the latter wise and far

each toy has its season. AS the summer

Training the Sight.
From the Hospital.


Lord Wolseley having lately remarked
upon the good sight of the Beers as one
cause at least Of their good shooting. and
having ascribed this good sight to Its con-
slant exercise in the open air, Mr. Brude-
nell Carter has pointed out that 1t Is not
merely a question of open air but of the
training Of the sight upon things that are
afar off and difficult to see.
VISION" he says. like every other nerve
function must be cultivated for the at
tainment of a high degree of excellence.
The visual power of London children is not
cultivated by their environment They see
the other side of the street in which they
live, and the carts and omnibuses of the
thoroughfares. They scarcely ever have
the visual attention directed strongly to
any object which is difficult TO see, or
which subtends visual angle approaching
the limits of visuality; hence the seeing
function is never exerted to anything like
what should be the extent of its. powers.
With a country child the case is widely
different" Mr.. Carter would like to see
place given to excellence of vision among
the various physical qualifications which
are habitually tested by competition. and
for which prizss ars awarded. s.

Short on Memory. but Long on Tact.
From the Detroit Free Press.


There Is well-known Detroit woman
whose friends and family say she Is short
on memory, but long tact. This Is her
latest experience. as told by herself:
zone afternoon recently 1 was sitting on
the veranda, when a man carrying small
satchel came up the walk. He bowed pleas
antly, and l returned his greeting as cor
daily as / could, while racking my brain
for his name. 1t was gone forever. Here
was an old friend from out of town proba-
bly-perhaps a relative of my husband
and I could not recall his name. 1t was
agonizing. However. he must not feel a
lack of welcome, so | greeted him warmly.

my family would be equally glad. l re-
GREETED that long a time had elapsed
since we had last met. l hoped he and his
family were quite WELL OF course he had
come to dinner.
Thus 1 ratified on, fearing to let him
speak lest he discover what hypocrite 1
was. Finally he managed to say:
I'm afraid you don't know who l am.
"'Oh yes, 1 do. l responded. OF course

NO 1 am sure you don't even know my

-e-41-9-- - A GREAT INVENTION.

A wonderful invention is the Mergen- thaler; wonderful in it's conception, won derful in operation and doubly wonder full in it's possibilities. If its designer had foreseen all that was in its future, he would have been a happy man, pro- vided his foreknowledge had stopped there, but if some gift of provision had shown him all the antics it would per- form, he would have taken the nearest cut to the happy hunting grounds. It does worry the editorial writer at times.
 A few days ago we made short incur sion Into the realms of mythology and rung in the name of old Somnus to adorn a paragraph, but the linotype would have none of 1t. It thought Comus was about the proper thing, and Comus went through without turning a hair. What mattered it that the two old chaps were on opposite ends of the string, and that the substitution of one name for the other was like speaking of Brigham Young as an advocate of cehbacy? Such

SUNDAY, OCTOBER a7, 1901.
TO BE FITTED.

The papers lately are having quite a good deal to say about a young jackass in New York named Tilford. who enters a plea against paying a judgment of s5SsH. his excuse for non-payment being that he only has an allowance of 5000 year to live on, and adds:
 All our friends are persons of wealth, and of high social standing, and we are compelled to spend money in entertain ing the many friends who entertain us. My friends and associates of my life have been persons of wealth and high social standing. I am a member of many clubs. I have absolutely no income ex- cept the allowance I receive from my fathers estate, and the same Is barely sufficient to support myself and family.
 While his plea is contemptible. some of the blame should fall to the rich father who allowed him to grow up with the idea that he would inherit unlimited wealth. and consequently made no effort, so far as we know. to teach or encourage the young man any lessons of independ- ence or of self-support. Of course it is easy to spend $e.OOO per annum in New York or any other city, if a man is dis posed to do so, but if young Tiiford had been properly trained and instructed when he was growing up, he might now find way to put his allowance to such good use that he would not be reduced to such baby pleas as the one above quoted. Perhaps he Is entitled to as much pity as blame, and his case ought to be an object-lesson to rich fathers and Idle sons.

He also argued, in behalf of the new Constitution, the fact of it's reducing the tax rate and also of the great advantage that will accrue to the public schools, assuring the people at least five if not nine months of public schools each wear. Hon. Emmett O'Neal was to have filled this appointment today, but was detained at home, and it was entirely unexpected on the part of Colonel Sanders to make the address, but he made many friends for the Constitution by his unequivocal
