A UNIQUE RAILWAY
tbs LESS THAN FOUR HUNDRED
FEET LONG.
CALLED ANGELS FLIGHT
An Incline Plane Road, With Two
Cars, Operated by Single Ten
Horse Power Electric Motor
Started and Stopped by Passen-
gers.

Probably the shortest paying street
railway in the world, and certainly one
where more rides can be obtained for
a dollar than anywhere else in Ameri-
ca, is the Angels Flight" in Los
Angeles, Cal.
y Formerly the pretty residence por-
ton of the city, "Olive Heights" could
only be reached either by long de-
tour or climbing great number OF
very steep steps. One of Les Angeiec S
citizens conceived the idea that a
railway up the steep incline could be
made to pay, and within a few weeks
he had his road in operation.
The road is $50 feet in length be-
tween terminal points, and rises 100
feet in this distance; it is built on the
three rail, automatic, turnout system,
The two cars, Olivet and Sinai, are at
tached to the ends of double cable,
which is wound over a drum operated
by o ten horse power electric motor at
the top of the hill. AS one car goes up,
the other descends, the two cars
counterbalancing each. other, and thus
etfecting great saving in power.
Entering the lower station, the first
thing we notice is the bill of fare. "
"One ride Sc, rides 10c.. 10 rides
Csc, 100 rides $1.O0." The cars will
hold ten people seated, which is the
limit; a number of signs announce
that no standing is allowed, as a sud
den jar might throw the passenger
out and down the steep incline An
other sign instructs the passenger to
press the button when ready to start.
ard on his doing SO the car starts
During the ascent a beautiful view is
obtained of Los Angeles. Arriving at
the top, one steps from the car into
the ticket Office, where he pays his
fare, and passes into small building
open at the sides and filled with com
Portable seats, from which the view
may be enjoyed, and where a sign in

PRIVILEGES OF THE FAIR SEX
Interesting References to Abused Hus-
bands in Chinese literature-Girls
With Unbound Feet Hard to Get

Can be Bamtooed.

THE Chinese humorous literature
ahounds with references to henpecked
husbands" said Professor Herbert AL
len Giles, of the University of Cam
bridge, in the closing lecture of his
course at Columbia.
Then he went on to tell sample
story, culled from this branch of Chi
nese literature.
Ten henpecked husbands resolved
to form a society to resist the imposi-
tons of their wives" he said. THE
ten wives heard of the plan, and while
the meeting for organization was in
progress entered in body. Nine of
the rebellicus husbands incontinently
bolted, but the tenth one retained his
place, quite unmoved by the frightful
apparition. The ten ladies, merely
smiling contemptuously on the one
man left behind, returned to their
homes, satisfied with the success of
their raid. The nine husbands there
upon returned and resolved to make
the heroic tenth the president of the
society. When they went, however, to
inform him of the honor it was found
that he had died of fright.
Women have a few privileges that
men have net" continued Professor
Giles. They are exempt from the
bamboo punishment; no woman can
be bambooed And a woman is a
source of anxiety and misgiving to
magistrate and counsel in any case in
which she may be a party, for no
Chlnaman will enter into an argument
with a woman-not from any feeling
OF chivalry at all, but from a rooted
conviction that he will get the worst of
it,
Professor Giles continued to reveal
masculine secrets by describing some.
thing which he said really took place
at dinner at which a number of high
class natives and important foreigners
were present. The host. addressing
himself to the latter, inquired:
DO you fear the inner ones?'
Upon inquiry, he explained that he
meant their wives, and added with
unconscious pathos, that many China
men stood in constant fear of theil
wives.
Now, for example, he does" sale
the host, naively, pointing at solemn

pressed everyone as filed with sense
Of his own Importance.
At this all the Europeans present
burst into uncomfortable laughter
which rather surprised the Cinnamon
who had been seeking to acquire in
formation on what they thought were
very serious matters.
Professor Giles attacked a good
many hoary traditions which have
wrapped Chinese women in a cloud OF
gloom. He declared that while in
fanticide did exist, it was no more
prevalent than in England and some
ether Christian western countries. The
presence of the CHASTITY tablets on Chi
nese river banks, announcing to the
public that Female children must not
be drowned here" he explained in the
following way: All rich Cinnamon
are expected to do something for the
elevation of the people, either in the
way of charity. education or the like.
If they do not, society looks at them
askance. Some of them have printed
and circulated great numbers of tracts.

seem reasonable to imagine that any
man or woman sane enough to run
loose in civilized community ought
to know perfectly well that a solid
gold watch, or whatever other article
it may be, perhaps a genuine diamond
ring cannot be bought for the sum of
one dollar? And yet there are re-
sponses to these ads. reaching literal
ly in the millions and the promoters
OF these lodges nearly always get
rich. Last year we routed out FELLOW
in Boston who advertised in a very
elaborate and splurgy fashion through
out the country that he had got hold
of lot of lucky stones On his travels
through India, which he was willing
to purvey by mail upon the receipt of
dollar per stone. The money that
chap got was something fabulous. The
dollars were just raining in when the
inspectors swooped down on his Office
and cleaned him out. He didn't care
then whether he was cleaned out or
not. He had got the money.
Something over a year ago the
department nailed clever woman
who was operating her little dodge
down in Florida woman of tremen-
dous shrewdness this one was, sure
enough. She advertised and sent
out circulars to the effect that she
was a natural born healer of any old
disease that was ever included in a
medical book, mental or physical, and
she set forth the fact that, if anything,
she was some better as an absent
healer than she was as contact
healer. All the person afflicted with
any sort of disease had TO do was to
hike IS note along to her, ana she
would spent five minutes at certain
hour of the day or night thinking of
the person renting the money Thus
the afflicted one would be made whole.
If | remember correctly, this little
woman pulled in something like $780,
600 with her scheme, and, if she had
really devoted five minutes of thought
each day to each of her subscribers.
the day would have had to be about
two months long The beauty of the
situation in her case was that abso-
lutely nothing could be done in the
way of punishment to her. She chung
to it when nailed that she really was
an absent healer all right-although
there was merry twinkle in her eye
as she said it-and the government
hadn't any way of proving that she
wasn't what she lcaimed to be, even
had the government been disposed to
establish any such contention
mot in recent years have any of
these mail swindlers been so bold as
that humorist who, advertising that
be would send certain way of getting
rich on receipt of dollar, sent out
little slips containing the words. Work
hard and never spend a cent but
manipulators of the mails as brazen
are constantly requiring suppression.
When one stops to reflect upon how
many years this sort of mail swindling
has been going on, and then con-
siders how many tens of millions of
newspapers containing accounts of
such swindles are constantly being
thrown off of American presses. one is
tempted to take stock in that old
aphorism of Hungry Joe's that there's
a sucker born every minute, ana they
never die. Washington Star.

They also said he had a nice watch that he had dis posed of sometime before.
 When arrested Mesa had under his arm q pair of shoes, nearly new. wrapped il a newspaper. When asked where he got them he said he had bought them at Diehl's. When that was found to be untrue he sugges ted the Hub. and when that story failed Of substantiation he said he had bought them Of a Mexican for half a dollar. It was noted that the shoes were num- Der 612 while Mesa wears an s.
