work may be taken At present the
entire construction work, the planning
and the draughting fer the Baltimore

ment of the "I'ennsy" now does all the
work for the southern system as well
as for the road that supports IT..
The blue print room at Altoona not
only turns out duplicates of plans for
every trifling alteration, but of every
car and engine as well.
And engines and cars are being built
In Altoona for the Pennsylvania and

one pattern Everything ON the lately
acquired road is being changed to meet
the standard required by the rules and
regulations of the company Of which
Mr.. Cassatt is the heal.
The "Pennsy" has gone SO far as to
take men from its own repair shops to
lead the repair and machine forces OF
the other road and do the work &c

Hiram Carper, of Canton, is greatly
interested in the disappearance of El-
mer Harrison, the Coitsville farmer,
who vanished mysteriously on the eve
of his wedding few nights ago. The
interest of MIR. Carper in the case is
due TO the fact that he is creditor Of
Mr.. Harrison's to the amount of $400.
The money is due Mr.. Carper On agri-
cultural machinery purchased from him
some months ago.
Harrison was to have been married
on the 10th of this month bnt on last
Thursday evening mysteriously disap-
peared.
Early the next morning a wagon be-

the outcome with more than ordinary
interest.
M. ID. Ratchford, state labor conf
missioner, has filed report In which
he says that women do not make more
than living expenses, in Ohio factories.
There are some that make more than
living expenses and if 1t is fact that
the average is only the living expense,
there must be some who work for less
than living wage. 1t is the employ
ment of women in workshops that has
brought down, in many instances, the
wages Of men, and has made the do
mestic problem so that it is without
solution. The statement that the wom-
en- of Ohio, who are in the factories,
are not making more than living
wages, is one that calls for the thought.

daughters about to enter upon factory

pursuits.

There is a good deal of interest
among politicians as to the attitude of
Congressman Robert w. Tayler OH the
Schley case. Several bills, the Wash
inston specials tell us, have been in
troduced in congress, calculated to
neutralize the adverse opinion render
ed by the majority of the court These
bills have been passed, by the naval
committee, to the committee on "or-
ganization, rank and pay" of which
Congressman Tayler is a member. The
news associations declare that this snb>
committee is hostile to Admiral Schley.
This will be news to the Eighteenth
district, whel'e the sentiment about that
case cannot be misunderstood. Should
the committee of which Congressman
Tayler is a member, fail to report or
should report adversely, the people Of
Ohio will probably weigh the congress-
man along with that opinion. As the

of the lower regions himself, for some
how the supertitious mind never at
tributes such gifts to a superior
being, but rather to one endowed with
all the powers Of evil. The fascina-
tion which attaches itself to these
manifestations of the hidden, myster-
ious and occult is wonderful though
not hard to explain. There are many
today who believe Payne gifted with
powers out Of the ordinary, but they
err in this particular, for while his
gifts are surely unusual they have
nothing Of the supernatural about
them, and what he does is the result
of q scientific Development Of the
highest degree. He does not confns
his entertainment entirely to tho more
serious sides Of magic, but interspsrses
it with bright, pretty tricks Of pure
slight-of-hand and the simpler tricks
Of purely mechanical character which
amuse and enliven what he does. So
he makes his appeal general, delight
ing tho children who sit rapt in ad-
miration at the wonderful disappear
ance Of rabbits and guinea pigs, at
the marvellous hats so full of all sorts
of good things to eat,- at the shiny
c~ornucopias which bring forth such
beautiful flowers, at the mysterious
little boxes from which such a variety
Of things spring 80 mystsriously. The
older people find an added interest in
his serious work, and even the serious
mind is rought ovsr the mysteries it
finds difficulty in understanding. The
secret of Payne's great success is that
he entertains at all times and furnishes
food for every class of people. The
engagement is for two nights, com
mencing Friday, Nov. 81. It should
also be remembered that this is a
benefit entertainment for the North
Dakota Children's Home society,
which receives a generous share Of
the proceeds. Professor Payne is
