AN INAUGURAL EXPERIENCE.
Broke His Ribs in Falling Over On
of Washington's Customs.

of Washington's Customs.
While in one of the lunch rooms which
line Nassau street, in New York, a few
days ago a friend, whom saw we'll and
sound in the lobby Of the Arlington on in
auguration day, entered with an arm in a
sling" said a member of the inaugural
committee to Star reporter this morning.
II asked him how it happened.
well he answered swallowing In
huge bites his sandwich and gulping down
his coffee in that tdo-it-all-in-a-minute- or
die way they have in New York. broke
my arm and two ribs, see? And I did 1t
right, understand? But I've had enough of
inaugurations, understand? For you have

had the time of my life until night On
the night after the ball. at an hour which
appeared to me to- be about 8 o'clock in
the morning, I was awakened by the loud
ringing of gong. ! thought 1t was a fro
bell. and 1 was sure 1t was hammering the

My friend. thinking I was burglar

learned to my sorrow, when the doc-

custom in the capital for the help to live
at home, and when they are not provided
with night keys they ring the bell in the
morning and some one In the house goes
down and lets them in. The gong heard

1T seems in his house they were such
sound sleepers that repeated pulls ut the
bell failed to awaken them. So he bought
at junk sale the alarm gong taken fl ON

morning use. 1t was the earnest, get .up-

TICKING OFF THE MILES,
There Are Several Ways More or Les
Accurate,

AheTc are several ways More or Less
Accurate.
There has been some picturesque fic-
tion written about the ease with which
railroad men and drummers are supposed
to tick off the miles as the train speeds
along, from things they can see from the
car window said a railroad conductor to
Star reporter this morning.
There Is only one strictly accurate
way, and that is to seat yourself on the
side OF the train from which may be OBJ
served the white mile posts that line the
road and hold your watch on them. II
you have a split-second watch 1t will prove
interesting to note that while you made
one mile in sixty seconds the next was
covered In ffty-three, and the third in
seventy seconds, and so on, as the speed
of the train increases or slackens You
may also follow around the little second
hand on an ordinary watch. It kills time
Some pretend to say that they can tell
the speed Of the train by counting the tele-
graph poles. If there were an exact num-
Der of telegraph poles to every mile this
might be done by a little figuring. but
there Is difference. The number Of tele-
graph poles to a mile vary from thirty
three to forty, depending upon the straight
stretches and the curves in the track, the
latter having oresep0leR than the former.
SO, you see, 1t Is not as easy as the drum
mer would have ther other passengers be-
lieye. ,Jtl.et
IF the poles are .inlauted thirty y-three to
the mile they are 190rfeet apart, and every
eleven passed representsr a third Of mile
II placed forty to mile they are 132 feet
apart, and every twenty represents half
a mile.
These are easy-~fgares to remember.
and by applying thsm ee1 a journey a pas
senger may obtain an Idea. more or less
accurate Of the speed Of the train.
-, Anotner An way is "a attempt to count the
car as they pass over the rails where
Joined. The rails 6f7tfie roads as placed
today are too evenly ijoiHed to arrive at an
exact determination. bye this method be-
cause. II you miss two. or three joints your
calculations are thrown out as to accu-
racy. fF"z,
However. there are railroad men who
cannot tell you the number of rails to the
mile Of their own roads. and rails vary in
length the average being thirty feet some
thirty-three feet and some sixty feet At
thirty feet there are 176 rails to the mile:
and II you can count 176 consecutive clinks
as your train flies along you may deter
mine its speed, and not otherwise
twenty years ago q rail weighing fifty
or hfty-six pounds to the yard was con-
sidered heavy. Today the average weight
is eighty and ninety pounds, favoring the
former: so the average rail in use now
weighs 500 pounds II there are l76 rails
weighs 14O 800 pounds, and on a four-track
road 563, 200 pounds of cold rolled steel
hold up the cars to every mile.
"As New York Is 221 miles from WASH
ington. on each of the two four-track lines
of railroad between the two cities, at the
above average weight OF rails the earth
holds up 5O2. 266 800 pounds Of stesl.''

INCOMES OF COUNTRY DOCTORS.
A Large Story of Their Well-DOinp
Down in Louisiana.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The popular conception Of country
doctor Is ludicrously wide of the mark, at
least. as far as this state is concerned, %
said man who sells surgical instruments
and spends good deal Of time with the
rural trade. "It is based on novels mainly,
where the rustic practitioner is generally
pictured as half-starved martyr to duty,
who either drives about in a ramshaclle
gig or rides 'gaunt gray mare with his
medicines in a pair of saddlcbags. The
doctors old gray mare, as remember her.

localities" the instrument man went on,

giS & Co. wire II. Holbert & Son: We
cannot help feeling that in so D. quarters
stocks are high enough ana whenever
we are asked to express an opinion we
do not hesitate to advise taking of profits
1t seems the only prudent thing to do,
considering the advances Of the past few
weeks. Money is in fair supply here at
per cent and we hardly think there will
be any extreme GghtneSS, as any stiffen-
ing of rates should attract great deal of
money to this center.
