FAMILIAR NAME
MAY PASS AWAY.
Pennsylvania Co. May Change
Name Of the B. & o.

Since the Pennsylvania Railway Co.
became the controller of the Baltimore
& Ohio there has been evidence that
the former was attempting in every
way possible to bury the identity of
the latter, says the Columbus Dis
patch.
1t is even said that the name Of the
Baltimore & Ohio may be abandoned
and that of the Pennsylvania substi-
tuted. Gradually the Pennsylvania
has been extending its jurisdiction
over the management Of the Baltimore
& Ohio. Systems of accounting and
established customs in traffic arrange
ments of the latter have given way
to Pennsylvania forms.
The two big systems have long
ceased to be competitors even in the
midest sense. The Pennsylvania is
the dominant power, and no action
of the Baltimore e. Ohio is taken
without the approval of its new own
er.
There is every reason why the Penn
sylvania should attempt to bury the
Baltimore & Ohio. The two systems
have been the principal roads in the
Chicago Pittsburg, Washington Balti-
more. Philadelphia-New York business
and 1t was to obliterate this compe-
tition that the Pennsylvania bought a

For Manufacturers
Increased.
Lower Rubber Prices
a Good Thing.
Good Demand For Scrap In the
United States.

The fact that rubber prices have
been generally low this fall will give
some manufacturers very nice
profit ON certain contracts made for
goods for fall delivery, and will help
out of the hole some who took orders
at prices on which they would GER
tainly have lost money had crude
rubber gone above 30 cents, as it prom
ised to do when reports Of crop short
agewas first heard. This years crop,
1T is claimed is not large, but never
theless fine Para can be bought at
SO cents to SO cents according to quail
ity for immediate delivery. Rubber
to arrive for fall delivery is quoted
at 81 cents.
"There has been a fair demand this
fall" said one familiar with the mar
ket." The shoe people have not had
entirely favorable weather but they
have been buying literally and MAX
ing up goods in preparation for win
ter The demand in Akron has been
good"
About scrap rubber prices the India
Rubber World says: "The prices at
which transactions in scrap rubber
have been closed during the past
month are somewhat higher than the
rates which ruled during the summer,
which is due to the increased activity
of consumers. The latest quotations
supplied in New York are SHMS3s
cents per pound for old shoes, in car
load lots. Foreign stock is quoted
at 61sH7 cents. Reference has been
made in these columns to sales of
foreign scrap abroad ut relatively
higher prices than American quota
ffons for goods of this class, but from
the continued liberal rate of impoltc-
tons of scrap from Europe, it would
appear that the principal market for
scrap of transatlantic origin remains
in the United States. An indication
of the demand here for foreign scrap
may be found in the fact that two ad-
vertisements in The India Rubber
World recently, offering foreign
scrap to the American trade, were

HARRIS
Preparing Another
Clark Bill.
Objectionable Features Will be
Cut Out. 4

Columbus, O., Nov. 13.-(Spl)-Word
reaches here that w. s. Harris, the
newly elected state senator from the
Ashtabula district, is already at work
on local option measure, which the
Anti-Saloon league will endeavor to
have passed at the coming session of
the Legislature. Mr.. Harris was the
author Of the bill bearing his name
which was defeated several years ago.
While the bill is being prepared by
him, 1t Is understood that 1t will be
introduced in the house by some one
who is yet to be selected to father it..
1t will omit one or two of the more
Objectionable features Of the Clark
bill, the chief of which will be the pro.
vision providing that an election could
be ordered in any community after
the expiration of 60 days where local
option failed to carry, whereas an ad-
verse verdict in any community was
to remain undisturbed for the. full
period of one year. This provision Is
regarded as being manifestly unfair,
and one or two members who voted
for the Clark bill two years ago say
that the measure will have to be so
modified as to make 1t absolutely fair
in this respect before they will vote
for 1t.

MILES OF
BOOKS.
Daily Output OF the
Werner Co.
Some of the Volumes to Retail at
$500 a Set.

Three miles of books lying side by
side-a peculiar expression, yet 1t cpl
tomizes the present daily output of the
Werner Printing Co. In this estimate
khe Encyclopedia Britannica alone
figures one and one third miles. While
thinking of this, consider that the
Werner Company has during the past
Shree weeks completed and shipped 20
car loads of books telling about the
fife and services Of VIM. Mckinley
100000 volumes.
1t is not hard to realize the truth in
these statements when one stops to
think that the Werner Co. employees
1900 people daily, and that every day
a large number work extra hours--ano
still 1t is difficult to keep up with or
ders.
An incident connected with the print
ing of Mckinley books is that the COM
pany is manufacturing them for two
separate publishing concerns, both Wig
Orous competitors. One of the works,
prepared by Murat Halstead, is entit-
led '"The ulustrious Life of VIM. Nc
Kinlsy," and the other, written by A.
Il. Mcclure and Chas. Morris, is entit-
led "The Authentic Life of VIM. Nc

Lemur. For the Zoo.

The national zoo has just received
through an animal dealer in Philadel-
phia magnificent pair Of the large
black and white lemurs indigenous to
the island Of Madagascar. This makes
the fourth pair of these animals
brought to this country, and. in addi-
ton to being highly attractive by rea-
son of their coat of long jet black and
snow white hair and their abnormally
large and luminous eyes. they are of
very great interest from the viewpoint
of science and evolution.
The lemur stands in the same rela-

turn stand to the human race, only in
the case of the lemurs and apes the

The Humming BIRD. FIight.

The fight Of the little humming bird
is more remarkable than that Of the
eagle. We can understand the tapping
of the eagles immense wing supporting
a comparatively light body. But our
little bird has plump body. His wings
are not wide, but long, so he must
move them rapidly to sustain his
weight, and this he can do to perfec-
ton. The vibrations Of his wings are
so rapid as to make them almost invisi-
BILE. He can use them to sustain him
self in midair, with his body as notion
less as If perched on a twig. In this
way he can sip the nectar Of the deli
cate, fine stemmed flowers without
alighting for moment. He never
alights while so engaged. He moves
from flower to flower with graceful
and rapid movement, sometimes chas-
ing away bee or humming bird moth,
of which he is very jealous. Nor is he.
much more fayorably impressed with
any small birds that seem in his way.
He knows his power of flight. and he
has no fear Of any other bird.-HenrY

FLAVOR i'm FOODS.
This Quality Is as Much a Necessit
as Is Nutriment.

This Quality Is as Much a Necessity
as Is Nutriment.
Chemists tell us that cheese is one Of
the most nutritious and at the same
time one of the cheapest of foods Its
nutritive value is greater than meat,
while its cost is much less. But this
chemical aspect of the matter does not
express the real value of the cheese as
a food. Cheese is eaten not because Of
it's nutritive value as expressed by the
amount Of proteids, fats and carbohy-
cause of it's flavor.
Now, psychologists do not find that
flavor has any food value. They teach
over and over again that our foodstuffs
are proteids. fats and carbohydrates and
that as food flavor plays absolutely no
part. But at the same time they tell us
that the body would be unable to live
upon these foodstuffs were it not for
the favors. If one were compelled to
eat pure food without flavors, like the
white Of an egg, it is doubtful whether
one could for week at time consume
sufficiency Of food to supply his bod
lily needs. Flavor is as necessary as nu-
triment. 1t gives zest to the food and
thus enables US to consume it properly,
and, secondly, it stimulates the glands
to secrete, so that the foods may be
satisfactorily digested and assimilated.
The whole art of cooking, the great
development Of f1avoring products, the
high prices paid for special foods like
Holsters and oysters-these and numer-
GUS other factors connected with food
supply and production are based solely
upon this demand for flavor. Flavor is
necessity. but it is not particularly
important what the favor may be. This
is shown by the fact that different peo-
Piles have such different tastes in this
respect. The garlic of the italian and
the red pepper Of the Mexican serve
the same purpose as the vanilla which
we put in our ice cream, and all play
the part of giving a relish to the food
and stimulating the digestive organs to
proper activity.-Professor a. W. Corn
in Popular Science Monthly.

WHEN GARFIELD LAY DYING
A Pathetic incident OF His Removal
to Long Branch.

to Long Branch.
y pathetic incident is related apropos
of the day of fasting and prayer which
was appointed by all the governors of
the United States at the time President
Garfield was removed from Washing
ton to Long Branch in the hope that
the change might help him to recover
from the bullet wounds inflicted by
Guiteau
"Crete," said the president to his
brave little wife about II on that
Thursday morning as the ringing
strokes from the belfry of the Episco-
pal church almost across from the cot
tage reached his ears, what are they
ringing that bell for?"
"That?" said Mrs. Garfield, who had
been waiting for the surprise. That's
the church where we were when you
first came down. They're all going to
pray for you to get WE'LL" and, falling
on her knees, she said, "And I'm going
to pray, too, james, that it may be
soon, for know already that the other
prayer has been heard"
From where he lay Garfield could see
the carriages draw up and group after
group go in. He could even hear the
subdued refrain Of Jesus, Lover Of My
Soul" as it was borne by on it's heaven
ward way. Thrilled with emotion, a
tear trickled down the presidents face.
Then he closed his eyes and turned his
face as a sweet woman's voice arose
singing from one Of Sir Michael Costa's
oratorios. Turn thou unto me and
have mercy upon me-" sang the voice,
"for am desolate-I am desolate and
afflicted; the troubles of my heart are
enlarged oh, bring thou me out Of my
distresses-out of my distresses-my
God"
The people in the church sat almost
spellbound under the voice, for the
singer was affected deeply and made it
seem to all, what it must have been to
her, prayer in music.
