PLENTY OF SUFFERING.
So She Sought Relief From Senate
Committee,

Senator Bacon of Georgia. the chairman
of the committee on woman's suffrage, mad
an experience few days ago that he will
not soon forget. Upon leaving his commit
tee room with several friends he found a
well-dressed and intelligent-looking colored
woman, with something of the air Of a
new woman Of the twentieth century.
'Is this the room Of the committee on
woman's 'sufferingT" she inquired, adj
dressing the Georgia senator.
Being assured that it was the committee
on woman's suffrage she inquired further:
"Can I see the chairman Of the COM
mittee?'
She was informed that the chairman of
the committee was before her.
'Weu,'' she said, II want to see II I can
get some help for our women and chill
dren?"
Senator Bacon, who is a typical south
erner and the embodiment of courtesy to
every one, regarded his visitor moment
could be given the women and children for
whom their spokesman pleaded. 1t was a
new idea to him that the colored women and
children Of the south wished to vote
There is a great deal Of suffering among
our women and children, and I heard that
this was the committee to come to-" said
the visitor "to secure help for them"
Senator Bacon courteously explained that
this committee related to the question Of
women's right to vote, and that suffrage"
did not mean suffering" His visitor asked
him If he knew where the suffering commit
tee room was located, and then, learning
that she was from Tennessee, he suggested
that she confer with the senator's from that

Then the trouble began.
First there was an order for board of

20. The postmaster Of Ogden, Kan, where
the accident occurred, testified that he saw
it happen and that the damage done
amounted to fully $25. The .'Hoss Wran-
gler" Private Fred Thompson, who had
the stampeded horses in charge. testified
that the accident happened, and that he
couldn't help it, as the bunch had got away
from him. The assistant horse wrangler
testified to the same thing and said he
couldn't help it. either. The board gravely
considered the evidence before it, and con-
scientiously gave. 1t as it's opinion that $25

Aerial Baggage shifter.
From Nature.


An aerial luggage transmitter has been
erected recently by the London and South
western Railway Company at it's juno
ton at Working, and is. we understand, in
the nature of an experiment, being, 1t Is
believed, the first appliance of it's kind
used by any railway company in the king
dom. In briefly describing it Engineering
states that on the up and down platforms
are erected iron towers, each thirty-two
feet six inches in height, and set in blocks
of concrete. Suspended from tower to tower
are four spans of wire cable. The topmost
cable, on which the transmitter runs to and
fro, is exceptionally strong, and is capable
of bearing a strain equal to at least twenty
tons. The second cable keeps the transmit
ter in position, and the third and fourth
cables, which are much thinner and are in
one length, are for paying OUT and re
turning" Each span is 10 feet long, and
the height of the transmitter above the rail-
way Is twenty-five feet six inches. At
tached to the transmitter is an iron cage
capable of holding half ton at one time
The whole is worked by hydraulic power,
the engine being on the down side. Above
it is small box In which are the levers
working the apparatus. The transmitter is
very rapid in it's working, taking only thirty
seconds to deposit ten hundredweight of
luggage from one platform to the other. All
the experimental trials have been, 1t is said,
most satisfactory, and the transmitter Is
now ready for use.

The man who spends half his time trying
to classify people said he never saw SO
many left-eyed passengers in one car.
What Go You mean by left-eyed pas

People who use their left eye more than
their right" was the reply. THE species
is not common. and CT course none but

detect offhand the few whom we do meet
A left-handed person advertises his pecu-
Iiarity at once: not so the ieft-eyed man.
AS a rule 1t takes an oculist to determine
which eye has been used most, but there
are certain peculiarities OF the pupil and lid
that may be taken as pretty sure signs by
the trained observer.
.Left-eyed people are made, not born.
Most of have been blessed by nature
with eyes of equal visual power, but the
attitude we strike when reading or writing
causes us to exercise one eye more than
the other and me first thing we know we
are right or left-eyed. This Is one-sided-
ness that should always be taken into con-
sideration when buying glasses. A right
eyed man with left-eyed spectacles, or vice
versa, Is at q decided disadvantage. and Il
is the opticians business 70 zee that he b

saThe exchange ticket is coming more

said trolley ear conductor yesterday.
tit is undoubtedly profitable to people
who ride in the cars a great deal. but
the other night had two young fellows
on my car who made the yellow and
blue tickets sources Of amusement as
well as profit They gambled with
them. Have you heard of that mode OF
gambling? This is the way it is done:
ssOn every exchange ticket, as you
can see, there is a number printed in

easily see that Il game something like

both tickets.
