An Automatic Lady.

Can 1t be, says the London Express,
that the inhabitants of Bangor have
had their heads turned by the lavish
expenditure of the Marquis of Angle
-ay to such an extent that they "see
visions and dream dreams?"
Two Bangorites-one an elderly lady.
and the other young man-deseribe
a startling sight in the park of An
glesey Castle which they witnessed on
separate occasions.
If what they believe they saw was
not the outcome of minds disordered
by high living. then another cOnvinc-
ing proof of the ingenuity of the young
Marquis is al once afforded.
The vision" took the form of a
wooden automatic lady, who. seated
beside the Marquis on his motor car.
moved her head slowly to left and
right in the most intelligent way.
The figure was beautifully and richly
dressed, and her movements far more
animated and graceful than those as
ISOLATED with the average ingenue in
her first season.
Every motorist will hail this really
brilliant idea with enthusiasm. for the
advantages of an automa tic lady are
;nnumerable.
The man whose mind is intent upon
getting the maximum speed out of his
motor with a minimum of danger does
not want to be prattled to when he is
turning 4 sharp corner.
Nor does he wish to be compelled to
assure his companion every few min
utes that the oil will not explode or
that the tire is in no danger of COM
ing off
With an automatic lady by his side
the driver can devote all his atten-
ton to his machine and yet be happy
in the thought that a richly dressed
companion, wearing beautiful furs, is
taking an evident interest in the land
acape OF both sides of the road and
is at the same time keeping her month
closed.
If limited amount of conversation
be essential to the happiness of the
driver the difficulty could be overcome
by the insertion of a photograph I'M
der the cloak of the figure
Then by pressing a button with the
root few commonplace remarks, reel
tations, or even snatches of song could
be extracted according to taste.

MILp-cLIMArE scHooLs.


The incident at Groton has attracted
the attention of parents in all parts
of the country. The boys school there
attended by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
had to close it's doors and suspend it's
session because young Roosevelt and
several other of the pupils were strick-
en- down with pneumonia. The atten-
tion of the country was called directly
TO the matter because one of the VIC
Tins is the son of the President of the
United States. In all probability, how
ever, similar complaints among the
boys of New England boarding schools
are more or less prevalent every win
ter, especially among those boys who
go to New England from lower lati-
tudes. 1t has been stated that the i'll
ness of young Roosevelt was superin-
duced by fad of his of going without
his hat. no matter how cold the
weather; and it has been denied by no
less authority than the New York Med
ical Journal that going without hat
could of itself cause pneumonia. The
Medical Journal asserts that pneumo-
Rnia is caused by specific micro-or-
ganism, and that the boys leaving off
his hat had nothing to do with the
case. 1t says further. that bad
colds" are caused by germs and not
by cold
However that may be, it is a very
well. known fact that lung and ca
tarrhaI troubles are more prevalent in
cold New England than in the salu-
brious climate of the South. What the
connection between the frigid atmos-
phere and the diseases may be is not
for laymen to say; they can only take
conditions as they find them. and
leave the scientific discussion to the
professionals. That the cold Northeast
is plagued with pneumonia and kin
dred troubles cannot be successfully
denied.
That brings us to the point of ask
ing. Why should parents in all parts of
the United States send their sons to
New England to go to school? Why
not send them South, where the eli
mate is equable and the atmosphere
balmy practically the year around
Here they would run the minimum of
risk of cold weather diseases. and en-

Writing TO the Manufacturers Rec
ord on Southern development in the
past twenty years. Mr.. John H. Con-
verse, of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. expresses the opinion that in
no respect has that development been
more strongly indicated than in III
matter of the South's railways.
While some of the first railways in
the United States were laid in the
South. the development of the great
idea in this section as rapidly as it
was developed in the North was him
dered by causes which need not be
mentioned now. so well are they
known. And after the war for
number Of years the section was in
an impoverished condition. 1t had no
capital with which to build railroads
and establish industries. Thus it oc-
Cured that twenty years ago the North
had outstripped the South in the mat
ter of iron highways and iron horses
The Southern roads then were of light
iron rail on beds of earth. without
ballast: the locomotives were small
pied together. were equipped with hand
brakes, and schedules We're largely a
matter of mere form. A speed of TWEEN
ty to twenty-five miles an hour was
very good running, and the traveller
was pretty sure to have his bones we'll
shaken by the humping and swaying
of the coaches.
There were no through trains be-
tween North and South, for the reason
that there was a difference of gauge
between the roads of the two sections
There could be no transfers of cars be-
tween lines, so there had to be trans
fers of passengers and baggage. Prob
ably the first radical step towards the
betterment of the Southern roads came
when the change to a standard gauge
was made. Old railroad men to this
day delight to talk of the marvellous
feat that was then performed, when
hundreds of miles of track were
changed to the standard in a single
day without interfering with schedules.
Then followed the organization of
through services, and other improve
ments. until now the South is as we'll
equipped in railway service as any
other part of the country. The light
rails of iron have been superseded by
heavy rails of steel; the wood burning
locomotives have gone to the scrap
heap and in their places we have mon
ster coal burners equal in speed and
power to any in the world, and our
coaches are models of elegance and
luxury.
In no part of the country" says Mr..
Converse. has the growth of indus
tries been greater than in the South
during the latter part of the nineteenth
century" and he adds that he looks
upon the oil discoveries as an added
basis of prosperity. IF there is any
thing on earth that represents the new
South to-day" says Mr.. NJ. z. In
gals, writing on the same subject, lit
is the railways of the southeastern
country. In physical condition, in
management. in facilities for the pub
lie, they will compare favorably with

Was an American Negro.

This story is told at the Navy De-
partment. says the Washington CORE
spondence of the New York World.
When Admiral Evans was at Kiel. i'm
command of the New York, some years
ago. the German Emperor visited his
ship frequently. The Emperor was
greatly pleased with the table set
aboard the ship and asked many ques
lions about the steward, who was a
negro, in whom he took an interest be-
cause of the excellence of his dishes.
AS he was leaving the ship one day
he CHANGED to pass the steward and
thought to do him honor by extending
his hand for him to kiss. The negro
looked at the Emperor with out
stretched hand for a moment. then in
true American style grabbed it and
gave it pump-handle shake.
The Emperor readily appreciated the
joke and was pleased.

MISREPRESENTATION N CoNNECTIcrr

Connecticut is holding a consti-
tutional convention. The demand for
a revision of the constitution was made
On the ground that under the old fun
damental law a minority of the people
were in power in the state, which was
an injustice to the majority Under the
old constitution the larger cities have
two representatives each in the lower
House of the Legislature, and the
smaller communities one each. The
larger number of the towns and small
cities gives them control of legislative
matters. 1t was hoped, through the
medium of the convention, to secure
thus place the majority of the people
in control of the Legislature. But so
far from any such purpose having been
accomplished, the convention has
adopted a resolution which WILL if
ratified, actually make the control by
the minority more secure.
The resolution referred to reads:
Resolved. That we are in favor of
equal representation from each town
in our House of Representatives" 1t
is understood that the majority of sem
timent in the convention is in favor of
limiting the number of representatives
from each town or city to one. How
this will work out can be seen when it
is stated that the majority of the peo-
pie of Connecticut reside in eleven
cities and towns, while there are 1871
other towns in the state. The minority,
therefore, would have a majority vote
of l46 in the House of Representatives
New Haven with 100000 population and
Hartford With $4,000 would have no
more voice in The Legislature than the
little town of Union, which has less
than 500 population.
The reason for this proposed discrim-
nation against the majority is not far
to be sought. 1t is to be found in the
Republican policy of depriving the
Democrats from ali important voice in
the state government The mass of the
Democrats are to be found in the
cities. while the small towns are Re-
publican. If representation were based
on population, New Haven, Hartford
and the other important towns would
send Democratic representative 20 the
Legislature in such number as to Sc
riously threaten Republican domino
ton If not overthrow it. BY denying
the majority of the people the repre-
sentation to which they are entitled.
the Republicans will retain their grip
upon the legislative machinery. There
has been very little criticism of this
discrimination by newspapers of the
North. but when Virginia endeavors to
discriminate against ignorance and
viciousness in her ballot laws a flood
gate of adverse criticism is opened
upon her.

Vandalism received a hard rap at
Princeton the other day. Some of the
college boys thought it would be great
fun to smear the Trenton Battle monu-
'ment with paint. To conceive the idea
was to act upon it. The decorating
was done in the night. Next morning
the people of Trenton We're shocked
and seandalized to see the marble shaft
looking as if il had been dragged
through a slaughter house and a mud
puddle. Not content with smearing the
monument, the houses and doors of a
number of citizens were daubed with
paint. The young men must have en-
joyed the joke immensely for whole
day. Then the humor of the situation
vanished into thin air. They learned
that the grand jury had taken the mat
ter up and that indictments had been
brought against them. The police mad
secured evidence sufficient to convict.
The jokers will suffer heavy fines or
imprisonment, and possibly expulsion
from the college also.

Last summer in New Haven, Conn,
Nehemiah Candee was knocked off the
runningboard of ap open street car. and
killed. His heirs brought suit against
the railway company for damages, and
the case is now on trial. The plea of
the company is that Candee had a seat
in the car, but got up and gave it to
a woman. thus voluntarily placing him
self in the position Of danger where he
met with the accident that cost his life.
The company, therefore, holds that it
is in no wise to blame for the mans
death. Should the court decide for the
company it would discourage street car
courtesy in New Haven; of which al
ready. in all probability, there is no
superabundance.

responsible and demand from the Sui
tan the refunding of the money paid

The automobile bill pending in the
New York Legislature has been amend
ed so as to fix the maximum rate of
speed for the machines in cities at
eight miles an hour and in the country
at twenty miles an hour. Under the
bill as it reads the limit for cities does
not apply to any municipality that is
not incorporated. An effort had been
made to place all towns and villages,
whether incorporated or not upon the
same footing as the cities in the matter
of the speeding of automobiles on the
streets. 1t seems that almost every
where there is a lack of Legislation
governing automobiles. The horseless
carriages have been in prospect and in
evidence for a number of years, but the
makers of laws have neglected to make
provisions governing them.
