This beautiful hair belonged to a
young Normandy girl who to pay a
family debt and save her fathers good

He in turn sold it to a Partisan Golf

strictest incognito to be kept and who
paid 5000 francs for it.

A woman's Foresight.

A Philadelphia woman who was for
many years stenographer and type
writer began to turn about in her mind
some years ago for an occupation for
herself when she should have reached
an age to be superseded by a younger
woman. First of all she proceeded to
set aside certain amount Of salary.
Then she looked over the field of feml-
nine occupations and decided to raise
small fruits. Upon arriving at this de-
cision she set to work to obtain all
available information and one winter
spent all her spare time outside her Of
fee work In taking n university CORE
spondence course In agriculture, says
the New York Tribune. She kept her
eyes open for real estate bargains and
as soon as she had saved sufficient
money bought few acres of land
about 20 miles from her native city.
Before leaving her position she had
one story house built and spent every
Saturday in painting and preparing it
for her residence. She had fruit trees
and bushes set out, and as soon as they
began to bear she gave up her position
and plunged heart and soul into the
new venture. She Is now out Of debt
and is building a larger house. Her
farm is near large hotel and fash
ionable suburb, and these provide good
markets for her fruit.
She declares that there is no compari-
son between her free, independent, out
door life and her former confined posi-
ton, where she was prisoner from 8
to 6 O'Clock every day.

If you happen to meet Queen Victo-
ria, don't say to her ''your majesty" or
try to think of longer phrase. Just
say "ma'am." 1t is easier. Besides, it
happens to be correct. Mr.. Gladstone
used to pronounce it mum"
The formal title "your majesty" is
used upon ceremonial occasions, and
servants are expected to use it at all
times.
When the Prince of Wales becomes
king, he will be addressed as "sire."
This might be shortened to "sir" with

Ac,i,ity I'm Automobile Patents.

BY all odds the automobile section IS
the busiest of all the divisions of the
patent Office these days, says The
American Automobile. Since all the
fashionable world has taken to automo-
billing and this sport is no longer a fad,
the inventors of the country seem to
have turned their attention to bringing
out improvements in motors, carriages
ana other parts. The number of ap-
plicatious that are being received for
patents on devices for automobiles Is
so great that IL has been found neces-
sary TO have FIVE special examiners on
this work. Four separate divisions
have been organized TO which are re-
ferred patent papers, according to the
specific kind of patent that is demand
ed. one division handles electric mo-
tors, another steam motors. another
gas and acetylene motors, and another
looks out for the compressed air mo-
tors

NEW IDEA IN ASTRONOMY
An Exhaustive Study Of Paral-
lakes Planned.
VIENNA DOCTOR SUGGESTED PLAN.

Astronomers From Yale University
Unite with -Four Large obseryn-
tories In Europe 60 Engage In the
work-What Has Been Accomplish
ed In the Past Year.
Dr. William l.. Elkln, director Of the
Yale astronomical observatory, an.
nounces, according TO special dis.
patch from New Haven to the Philadel.
phia Public Ledger, that plans have
been made TO devote the hellometer at
the observatory to the most novel
| scheme in the history Of Astronomical
stations In the universities of the
world. Five large institutions. four in
Europe ?-d Yale In America. have

study parallaXes more extensively and

mors gladly lndorscd It. 1t will result,
It Is hoped, In furnishing n large num-
Der Of wen distributed parallax results
from which valuable deductions ana
important stellar discoveries will be
made possible.
Professor Elkin's annual report, which
was recently announced, describes I'm
detail the experimental work which has
been carried on the past year with the
heliometcr which has been the prinCi-
pal instrument used at the station the
past year Nearly all that has been
done at the observatory the past year
has been with the heliometer and cam
eras. The most important work done
has been to secure several supplement
tary series on the parallaXes of large
proper motion stars. DR.. Il. l.. Chase
has observed six such series and Pro-
fessor Elkin and Mr. NJ. Il. Smith, the
observatory assistant, five.
The work of securing the parallaxes
of the proper motion stars. which has
been in progress for year, is now en-.
tlrely completed. When the results are
announced late this fall. something of
IA stir In the astronomical world is ex-
pccted, as the experiments and inves-
legations have been entirely original in
their scope. Dehnitlve results have
been reached.
Mr.. Smith has just completed the
unique task of remeasuring the Pleia-
des, utilizing the heliometer for this
task. IT will be remembered that Pro
fessor Elkin made the original meas
urement of the group just 10 years ago.
The repetition Of the measuring by Mr..
Smith will, 1t is expected, be of prac-
teal value in settling the character of
the relative motions of the system.
Professor Elkin is busy at present
carrying out reduction Of his preyi-
Gus triangulation and Introducing the
systematic corrections which have been
found to be required. This is being
done in connection with some further
investigations on these systematic di-
vergencies.
! Professor Elkin announces that the
| planned work on Eros had to be given
up because of the faintness of the
planet and because of the fact that it
is too near our zenith to admit Of re-
liable measurements.

CITIZENS GIVE EVIDENCE OF THE
 STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM ADEQUACY
Before Committees of the City Council Sitting Jointly Testimony Heard heAdvkabi of Revokng the Franchise Granted the Montgomery Street Railway Company Proof of the Deficiency
 in the Service is Given

The unusual interest manifested by the public in the movement inaugurated by the citizens of the city to have the Coun- ell take steps to vacate the charter of the Montgomery Street Railway. was fully evidenced by the large attendance at the Council Chamber last night in answer to the request of the Committees on Judi ciary and Franchises and Privileges to appear and give specific testimony Of the shortcomings of said company.
 The chamber was well fiIled at the be- ginning of the session of the committed and most of them remained to the end. Every witness who appeared unhesftat- ingly asserted it as his belief that the conditions were such that it would not only be wise and just, but perfectly proper that action should be taken by the Council to have the franchise taken away from the Street Car Company by the courts.
 The joint committees were organized by electing Alderman Finley of the Judi ciary Committee to preside.
 Mir. c. H. Roquemore the attorney for the Street Car Company, asked pernis- sion to cross examine the witnesses.
 Alderman Rushton said that 1t was not a court but committee meeting to be governed by its own rules. The time could not be taken to go into formal pro- ceedings He then moved that stenog- raphers and newspaper reporters be al- lowed to sit at the table with the com- mittee and that all others be allowed to remain in the room outside the railing, which was carried and the crowd moved to the outside of the rail.
 MT. Roquemore was informed by the committe that the Street Railway Com pany would be given an opportunity to be heard whenever it desired.
 Before the examination was begun MT. Roauemore asked that each witness be asked who presented the petition for sig natures, which was allowed by the com mittee.
 The examination was then gone Into and the witnesses enumerated below were examined:
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-09-07


 MT. George H. McCombs-He considers the service inadequate. ineficient and un- comfortable; they have not enough roll ing stock; people have to wait too long There are not enough cars on the line; he Is acquainted with the Court street line; they do not run regularly; some times every fifteen minutes and some times every half hour. Sometimes you have to wait longer than others. He did not know how often the cars got off the track, very often. more than an average of once week; has never seen the wires break. The motorman begins to slow up some fifty feet away in order to stop; he did not know in how short distance the cars could be stopped. Very uncomfort- able; when raining had to stand up; had members of his family to raise an umbr el- la in cars to protect their clothes; cars are very noisy; so much so that he very often had to suspend conversation in his private room on account of the rattling of the cars. All the cars are noisy. He thinks the condition of service and line would warrant proceedings to take the charter away from the company. The pe- ution was not presented to him; signed it of his own motion.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-09-07
L. G. Rupp.

MT. l.. G. Bugg said the service is gradually growing worse; he attended a game of ball on Fourth of July and was anxious to get back, and could not get a car to come back; the number of cars were very inadequate to handle the peo- pie; he thinks the switches are yINrn out, that causes cars to run off; the cars are in bad condition; make great deal of noise and have fiat wheels. Some of the cars are very old and ramshackling; has seen cars stop frequently recently; thinks the current gave out; he thinks the ser vice they are giving Is such as to war

I l. Watkins.

Dr. I. L. Watkins said the cars do not the cars are in a very bad condition and some are unsafe; did not know what proportion of them are dangerous; he has noticed more satisfactory cars re- tracks three times in one day. Had in Quired very often about delay and had been informed by telephone that wires were down; he thought that service charter.

T. Scott Savra.

Mir. T. Scott Sayre-He knew of the Street Car Company. Every time it rains yod get as much rain inside the car as all. The schedule is wholly unreliable;
 sometimes you have to wait so long that one walks home rather than wait Has nad them to run off the track with him seven or eight times. Cars are ram shackly, wabble from one side to the other and make a noise that can be heard sometime after they pass The rails are very crooked; has not seen the wires Tall down recently; the cars are generally commented on by strangers as
 disgrace to the city. There are no new Gars on the line, unless it be the West End line; has been on one or two cars Enen the cars could not be stopped, al SSneuSn the brakeman seemed te be doins
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-09-07

Mir. E. c. Norton said he had known the cars to run off on Court street re- peatedIy, and had often waited for them, and generally had to walk or get hack he had seen cars get off the track and had to get off and walk. The cars are in bad condition and every bolt and screw seems to be loose; they look like thes are built in blacksmith shop; he told ot sev- eral instances when he started on cars sometime to get to his destination; the cars leak and are uncomfortable; the ser- vice they are giving would justify pro- ceedings to take franchise away from them.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-09-07
G. F. Marfens.

MT. c. F. Mertens said the cars very often stop from ten minutes to an hour He has seen them standing dark. He has seen them off the track and it took from half an hour to an hour to get them on. Some cars are better than others. noisy. He did not know about the brakes, but he has seen one car run into an- other because brakes would not work. He saw wires fall on one occasion on Court Square. the guy wire breaking. The cars are very noisy but he did not think that all the cacs are. He did not know about their leaking. The service they are giving would warrant proceed ings to vacate.

J. E. Worswick.

MT. J. E. worswick, a master mechan- ic, said he did not know that he was a competent judge as to what the stand ard is. He has seen cars off the track frequently. He did not know the cause. The cars are not modern or up-to-date. He did not know that they are danger ous; they are so noisy is the reason he signed the petition; quite a nuisance to his neighborhood. He did not know that any new cars were ever bought. He thinks those they have are defective be- cause of the noise they make. Service they are giving would warrant action to take charter away from the company.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-09-07
J. WI Dantzler :.

MT. J. W. Dantzler said the cars make a great deal of noise, so as to interfere with business. The motormen are very not seem to understand the business. The cars arc old and much worn, very shack ling; would judge that they are eight or ten years old. They are not fixed up and equipped like modern cars. The wood seems to have been put in green cars don't seem to be constructed as they should be. Has seen them oft the track. The service. they are giving would make chise.

" W Screws, Jr.

MT. w. w. Screws, Jr., said the street cient in rolling stock, service. etc. The cars are not what they ought to be. They are out of date, they leak whenever 1t rains and are very noisy on the streets Has heard motcrmen say the brakes are no good at all, and when going fast 1t takes sometime to stop. He saw the while the car was in front of Highland Park gate and passengers had to walk to the park. On another occasion he saw the wires hanging down after they had broken. Has seen cars off the track very otten-don't knew what caused them to get of. He most assuredly thought the condition of the rolling stock and gen. eral inefflciency would warrant action by the Council.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-09-07
A. J. Keynton.

A. J. Keynton said the track is not kept up at all; he had to buy bicycle in order to get home; cars are all old, and he has often seen brakes broken and hang ing on the ground; the wood of many of the cars is rotten, and sway back and forward; he has had to raise umbrella to keep rain off of ladies with him; has seen the wire down and the cars stopped has had to wait as long as an hour, and then had to walk; he thinks the service they are giving would warrant proceed ings to vacate the charter.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-09-07
w. A. Foster .

Mir. W. A. Foster said the cars are very noisy, 1t is almost impossible to hear anything when the cars are pass ing, almost impossible to sleep. Can hear the noise two or three blocks off. Not enough cars to handle the crowds. Service they are giving would warrant less ! radical change IS made right away.

A. c. Stern.

A. c. Stern said the trouble was gen. eral ineff1ciency and lack of accommoda- tion; they had no schedule, and he often had to wait three-quarters of an hour for car; the wheels are fiat, and the joints are not put together as they should be; the cars are not clean and ladies often ruin their dresses; saw a wire fall on Detxer avenue a short time ago; the cars are very noisy; the service cars; he don't ride on them when he could help it; the motormen do not know their business and are very incompetent; he thought proceedings ought to be taken to vacate the franchise.
