SECURING A LOWER BERTH.
The Trick Sometimes Played by
Travellers TO Get the Coveted
Sleeping Place.

Those who travel a good deal and
are compelled to make use of night
appreciate the value of lower berth
in a sleeper. All kinds of tricks are
resorted to to secure one and the
agent must keep his eyes wide open
if he would escape several kinds of
trouble. One of Chicago's veteran
passenger men the other day told of
practice that was common before
it was decided not to show the dia-
grams of the cars to passengers.
"A customer would come into the
office" said he, ''and ask to be shown
the diagrams of the various sleepers.
In looking them over he would no.
tice that John Smith had lower re.
served until four o'clock in the after
noon, as he was not certain that he
would be able to take the train that
day. After getting the name well
fixed in his mind the tricky GUS
toner would purchase a ticket and
go back to his office. About two
o'clock he would send a messenger
boy to the agency with notice that
John Smith had decided to take the
berth he had conditionally reserved,
whereupon it would be turned over
to the messenger. When John
Smith called at four o'clock the dia-
gram showed that his lower berth
was gone. 1t would not be proper
to quote all that John Smith would
say at such times. To save ourselves
from these embarrassments and to
protect our customers, we recently
decided to treat our diagrams as
confidential"

HIGHLY IMPOLITE.
Etiquette Snys Man should Not
Walk with His Wife ut At
lantic City.

Husbands who are versed in the
oanons of Atlantic City etiquette are
careful not to pay too much atten-
ton to their wives at this charmingly
unconventional resort by the sea, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
If there's a crowd of women sitting
on the porch and your wife is among
them, steer clear Of your better half
and lean over some other woman's
chair and chat with her. The chances
are, anyhow, that some other mar
ried man has already monopolized
your wife.
If crowd is going out TO a cafe or
pier. or what not, don't, for PHYS sake,
walk with your wife. If you do the
other persons in the party will nudge
each other, say something uncompli-
mentary. shrug their shoulders, raise
their eyebrows and pity you for your
lack of manners.
The logic underlying this is thus ex-
planned by a man:
ITS downright selfish in a fellow,
don't you know" he said, "for him to
monopolize his wfe's attention down
here. She and ne may see each other
whenever they wish, but in the social
swim the opportunity for other per-
sons to see her is limited. Those op-
portunities should not be lost. They
keep the man and woman from stag
nating-keep them in touch with
other persons ideas. But, first Of all
reasons, it's selfish for a man to stick
TO his wife in public-and I'm glad to
see that persons are sensible down
here, and man and wife are seldom
seen together"

NEW TRoTTlNG RECORD.
,Jrcsccus Clips n Half Second From
Previous Time.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 3.-Cresceus,
champion of the trottng turf, added
more laurels to his fame yesterday by
trottng II mile in 202h. reducing by
onc-half second his week old record Of
202M. made at Cleveland last Friday
The first half was trottcd in 59M seconds,
the first time that the distance has been
covered in less than one minute by n
trotter. The time by quarters was
0:29$i, 0;59A, 1904 and 202H. Only
stiff wind blowing directly up the
stretch kept Cresceus from stepping
faster than POP. More than $4,000 pco-
pie journcyed to Driving park to see the
great trotter in action. 1t was Il bril-
liant assomblage, and intense enthusiasm
for the horse was manifested. The
weather Mt noon was unpromSng. The
sky was lowering and overcast, and n
few drops of rain fell, but not enough to
hurt the track, which was in excellent
condition, or to keep the crowd away.
On the fifth score kctcham nodded for
the word, but Cresccus was not in his
stride and he pulled up at the first turn
to try ii again. Down to the wire he
rushed, the runner two lengths behind.
and this time il was 20. Gamely
facing the breeze the champion started
on his journey, moving with apparent
ease and at his greatest speed.
The runner caught him at the quarter.
and Il shout went up from the throng as
the time went mp, quarter of a second
less than 30. Now the wind was at his
back, and. realizing the advantage.
Ketcham kept him at his great clip. The
half mile pole was passed in so. sec
onds, record never before attained, and
here the second runner caught him up.
Into the far turn and around il the great
stallion rushed. The three-quarter pole
was reached in 1:30A.
Then came the great trial, for as Cres-
ceus turned into the stretch the bitter
wind beat him in the face and held him
back by force. For the fraction of a
second he seemed to falter, but his driv-
er's voice encouraged him, and on he
came. With indomtablc courage he
plunged in toward the finish with un-
weakened stride. and, in spite of weari-
ness and the buffeting of the breeze. he
flashed under the wire winner against
time.
But for the wind it is believed his
time would have been second faster
1t was the most wonderful mile ever
trotted on any track.

New Liquor License Law.

A law passed by the last legislature,
and approved by Governor Stone is OF
interest to those concerned IN the
granting Of liquor licenses. The new
!aw authorizes county courts to grant
licenses for longer or shorter period
than year, but in no case less than
SIX months or longer than IS months.
This amendment of the liquor laws is
made to permit the change in the
annual day fixed by each court for the
granting of application for license, if
The court shall deem such change
advisable. Before making any change
N the date from or the period for
which license shall run as provided in
his act, the court shall give at least
three months previous notice of their
Intentions to make such change, by
rder filed with the proper clerk and
publication thereof in one or more
newspapers, as may be directed.

Buffalo Exposition Prospers.
lee sipts More Than Pay Expenses and Show
is Booming.

President John G.. Milburn, of the
,an-American exposition, has issued
statement, which in part says:
"The exposition has been more
han paying its expenses since the
,eginning of June, and has already
accumulated considerable surplus.
That surplus isincreasing daily. The ex.
position is having the same experience
hat every other exposition has had,
PARTICULARLY the Worlds fair. The
masses outside the city where an ex-
position is held do not attend during
May, June and July. The attendance
begins in August and increases during
September and October.
All indications show that is to be
'he experience ofthis exposition. The
reports from railroad men, hotel men
and travellers are all to that effect"
Attendance during August, Sept
smber and October equal to the at
tendance at Chicago in October alone
will pay all the obligations of the ex-
position, including its bonded indebt-
edness, and will leave large surplus. -

HOW GERMS MAY BE KILLED,
Information About Disinfcctants of
Various Kinds and How
They Are Used.

Scientific men say that the disin-
fectants most useful as germ killers
are moist heat, such as is used in
steam disinfectors, and certain chem
ical substances found by experiments
to be germicides, says the Scotsman.
Steam at 212 degrees Fahrenheit
will kill germs of high resistance in
five minutes. Dry, hot air at 2s4 de-
grees, on the other hand, took four
hours TO effect the same end. 1t may
be said that if articles of infected
clothing are exposed to steam at 270
degrees for Is minutes all germs are
destroyed. These means, of course,
apply to public disinfectors which
municipalities possess for the disin'
fection of clothing, bedding and the
like.
The chemical disinfectants which
are the most powerful are bichloride
of mercury "a poison), which in the
proportion of one part to 1000 of
water kills all germs. Half an ounce
to three gallons of water with n lit
tie aniline blue added Ito color the
solution and prevent mistakes) and
one ounce of hydrochloric acid to as
sist the action of the mercury makes
the best disinfectant known. Only
the public cannot be trusted to use q
solution which is poisonous. Carbol-
&c acid is not powerful disinfect-
ant. Used in the proportion of five
to 100 of water it will not kill all
germs, and water will not take up
more of the acid. Izal is not poison

American Hay for British Horses.

A Towanda firm, the Susquehanna
Valley Hay Co, is now shipping hay
to South Africa to feed the troop
horses of the British army. The ship
ment will consist of 100 cars, or about
r,a75 tons of hay. The Towanda
tirm was one of the few firms in the
country that could furnish anywhere
near such large quantity of old hay
as was demanded, last years crop
having been practically disposed of.
Fifty cars of this amount are now be-
ing loaded at the barns of the COM
pany and the balance must be on the
dock in New York before Aug. IS.
This hay, put up in the usual sized
bales familiar to every one, is shipped
to the government agents in Brook
Bn, where it is put through huge
compress and reduced IN bulk so that
three bales occupy the space of one
in the hold of the ship that will take

PROVISIONS FOR AN ARMY,
Large Ocean Steamships Are Obliged
to Have n WclI-stockcd
Larder.

People who cross the Atlantic in one
of the great liners are in no danger
of famishing, a gentleman with a
penchant for statistics has given the
public the average supply aboard the
Deutschland at the beginning of every
voyage between New York and Ham
burg, and, of course, all the other big
ships are provisioned in about the
same way.
In the first place, there are 40 tons
of ice to keep things eatable and
drinkable, and these are the things
that were on the ice on a recent trip
across: Fourteen beeves, ten calves,
20 sheep, 26 lambs, hogs, 1,5OO chick
ems, geese and game birds, 100
pounds of fish, 400 pounds of
tongues and sweetbreads, LOO doZ-
ems of eggs, IA barrels of oysters and
clans, l75 barrels of potatoes, rs bar
rels of other vegetables, 20 crates of
tomatoes and celery, 200 dozen heads
of lettuce, 30 barrels of -four, 600
pounds of oatmeal and hominy, 1900
pounds of butter, 1900 quarts of milk,
300 quarts of cream, 1000 big molds
of ice cream, tons of fruit, $4,000
quarts of wine and liquor, $4,000 quarts
of beer and 400 tons of drinking wa
ter.

each trip, but enough is carried TO

IT'S TOMATO CHowDER NOW.
The Disappearance of n Good Old
Dish In which CLANS Once
Figured.

That good old American dish which
used to deserve its ma me of clam chow
der seems to have degenerated these
days into a thick, sour-tasting tomato
soup, says the New York Sun. There
is scarcely n place in town where one
can get clam chowder now as it was
made when the dish earned the great
measure of popularity upon which
its disreputable successor is still trad
ing.
Instead of clans tomatoes have be-
come the chief ingredient, and the re-
suit is an indigestible mess that re-
calls only in name the savory chowder
of better days, and nine times out of
ten the deluded diner who partakes
OF it will be afflicted with heartburn
for hours afterward.
At the seashore where clans are
abundant one would naturally expect
to get chowder made after the old
orthodox fashion, but in the neigh
borhood of New York at least there
remains only disappointment for any
one who banks on this hope. Even
there the enterprising and inexpensive
tomato has won the fight and it is
that product and not the clam that
dominates the chowder.
Another instance of the aggressive
ness of the tomato is to be found in
most restaurants that serve spaghetti.
This, too, instead of being an appe-
tizing mixture of macaroni and meat
gravy, topped with Parmesan, has
come to be nothing more than a
sauce of tomato poured over the
spaghetti. So that il is little won
der that these two dishes-clam chow
der and paghetti-which formerly
were so highly esteemed by those who
knew good eating, have fallen in favor
here, and it seems probable that the
time is at hand when they will be
found on the lists of only the poorest
grade of eating places.

The Level of Lake Erie

Lake Erie is now three and one-half
feet below the city base of level, the
standard from which the city takes
measurements of altitude. What is
known to engineers as the "city da-
tum" represents the high water mark
of the lake in 1898. 1t cannot be said
that the level of the lake is steadily
lowering, as some believe, for the
level has risen above and gone below
the city datum several times since 1898.
1t is interesting to note that the great
est depth in Lake Erie directly north
from Cleveland is So feet. The great
est depth in the lake is more than 200
feet, off Long Point. - Cleveland
