ELECTRIC BUSES.
Plans for New System of Street
transportation in Chicago.


Chicago will have an electric auto
mobile service, known as the Chicago
Automobile Transportation company,
headed by Mr.. Charles e. Woods, the
well-known automobile designer. Mr..
Woods, says the Western Electrician,
is now busy, not only preparing plans
for the building of the new vehicles,
but also in preparing schedules for
the various routes on which they will
run and the arrangement of a general
system of operation, which is to in
clude cab service, running in con-
junction with the electric buses and
which is proposed to be on the follow
ing plan: Bus fare to any point will
be cents: cab rates within the dis
trict bounded by Twenty-second street,
the lake and the main and south
branches of the river, including the
Chicago and Northwestern depot, will
be rs cents. which price will include
transfer on any of the buses to any
point to which they may run. Trans
fers on the buses will also be made
from one line to another line run
ming in the same direction.
The proposition, according to Mr..
Woods, is for the installation of S4S
buses and 16o cabs at first, to be run
as follows; Starting at the Northwest
ern depot IL buses viii be commis-
stoned to run between the depots ex-
clusively for the purpose of transfer
ring passengers. hand baggage. etc.
This viii be supplemented during the
heavy suburban traffic morning and
evening by % additional buses run
ming directly from the depots to the
large department stores and office
buildings. Arrangements are also be-
ing made by Mr.. Woods to commence
special service to the department
stores for the transportation not only
OF their patrons to and from their
homes. and he says he is also arranr.

American as She is Spoken.

The following is told in a London
paper at the expense of an American
gentleman who recently stopped with
his wife at big London hotel. On
their first evening there he happened
to retire somewhat later than his
spouse. Arriving at the door of what
he imagined to be his bed room and
finding it locked he tapped and call
ed: "Honey!" No answer came, and
he called again, more loudly,
Honey" Still he got no reply, and,
becoming somewhat uneasy, he shout
ed the endearing term with his full
lung power. This time reply came,
and in an indignant male voice: &c
away. you idiot! This is bath room,
not beehive"

WHAT A MAN DID.
His Presence Brought a Hearing to
the Self-ccnfessed Murderess.

His Presence Brought a Hearing to
the seIf-ccnfessed Murderess.
1t seems to be an unwritten law at
teas, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut, that all the teagoers shall talk
in different keys, talk at the tops of
their voices and talk at the same time.
Another grievance of the habitual tea
goer is that the other teagoers never
listen to what she has to say. A
chronic teagoer-we will call her Mrs.
Tanni-irritated at this feminine fash
ion of heedlessness at teas, deter
mined last week to make the other
teagoers pay attention to what she
said. She carefully memorized strik-
ing sentence, of which her converse
ton should consist entirely. When she
went to tea that afternoon she tried
1t on her hostess, who thus saluted
her:
why, Mrs. Tannin, how do you do?
1t is ages since have seen you."
"Yes," replied Mrs. Tannin, I'm so
glad to see you. How well you are
looking. | killed my husband this
morning and his body is now"
But the hostess did not hear. She
was gazing toward the door with
far-away look and repeating, measur-
eddy and mechnically:
Thanks, very much. So good of you
to come. Don't mention it. Are you,
really? Not at all-thanks, awfully.
How very nice"
The murderess moved on. With the
next acquaintance whom she met Mrs.
Tannin only got as far as II killed my
husband this morn" At that mo-
ment the look of intelligence slowly
faded out of her friends eyes and Mrs.
Tannin saw that she was not listening.
The murderess recited her dreadful
tale to half a score of ladies, all of
whom received it with beaming smiles,
with frank handicapped each of
them had the same strange, far-away
look as they gazed over the murderess'
shoulder at the newcomers.
Suddenly all the heads in the room
pointed in a certain direction and
there was a perceptible lull in the
shrieks, screams and giggles which
make up conversation at afternoon
tea. 1t was a man. A lane was
formed and up the lane walked the
man. He bent respectfully over his
hostess hand. He turned from her
and caught the eye of the murderess.
Another lane was formed and down
the lane walked the man. He took
Mrs. Tannin's hand and greeted her
warmly. The presence of the man had
caused a lull in the torrent of talk,
but her dreadful vow hung over her.
Looking at him, she repeated mechani-
cally her shibboleth:
why, how do you do, Mr.. Blank
so glad to see you. | killed my hus-
band this morning and his body is now
lying in the bathroom, bathed in
gore"
A chorus of screams broke forth
from the listening ladies-sereams OF
establishment, of CONSERVATION and Of
horror. True, the presence of O man
had been necessary to bring it about
but Mrs. Tannin had gained the ear of
an afternoon tea.

HOW A MINE WAS FOUND.
Its Discovery Made Through the In
strumentality of Rat.


The action of a rat led N. R. In
goldsby to the discovery of rich
gold mine in Arizona. He named the
property the Rat Hole mine.
Mr.. Ingoldsby had been spending
several months near Mammoth, on the
San Pedro river. in Arizona. His
purpose was to enjoy the hunting and
make collection of the animals and
minerals of the southwest. He pitch
ed his tent in the canyon of the San
Pedro, in the Santa Catarina noun
tains.
He had no neighbors, and was for a
long time unable to account for the
disappearance of small articles that
he lett lying about his camp. At last
he noticed that when anything was
taken something was left in its place.
This was usually bit of stone or
wood. The culprit he found to be
large rodent OF the species known as
the trading rat. The habits of CNe
animal made an interesting study for
Mr.. Ingoldsby, and he often lay
awake at night to watch for his VIII
tor.
A silver spoon was missing Cue
morning, and in its place was piece
of quartz carrying free gold. This
still more excited Mr.. Ingoldsby's
curiosity, and after several attempts
he succeeded in following the animal
to it's home. Near by was the ledge
from which the gold-bearing quartz
had been taken. Mr.. Ingoldsby made
an examination thorough enough to
prove that his discovery was of con-
siderable value--Mexican Herald.
