Aphorisms.

No man ever found a good ex- cuse for a bad deed.
 In Texas a plug hat and a dude are still curiosities.
 Don't reject the truth because you do not like the man who tells it.
 Some people are very poor hands to follow the good advise they give.
 People should keep their bills paid if they don't like to be dun ned, and their bills out of other peoples business if they don't want to be insulted.
 There is more religion in rolling up the sleeves and going to work than there is ill a dramatic pray CT beside an empty flour barrel.
 IfDarwin's theory, that man decended from the monkey, is right, we have some citizens in this county who are not much credit to their ancestors.
 All stock becomes thoroughbred after being run over by a train. There is nothing that improves the blood of stock so much as being crossed with a locomotive.
 No one has ever yet seen the picture of awoman on a postage stamp or the picture of a man on a coin. No wonder we lick the stamp and squeeze the coin.
 You cannot always judge a man by his occupation. One of the biggest liars we ever knew was employed by several religious papers to write Sundy-school stories about "good littleIWillie" and bad little Johnnie, but it takes a mighty big liar to hold a job of that kind.

The Vice of Naggip2

Clouds the happiness of the home, but a nagging woman often needs help. She may be so nervous and rundown in health that trifles annoy her. If she is melancholy, excitable, troubled with loss of appetite, headache, sleeplessness, constipation or fainting and dizzy spells, she needs Electric Bitters, the most wonderful remedy for ailing women. Thousands of sufferers from female troubles, nervous troubles, backache and weak kidneys have used it, and become healthy and happy. Try it. Only soc. All dealers in medicine guarantee satisfaction.

BIG St. R. R. COMBINE
The Manhattan Elevated May Join
With the Rapid Transit
in New = ork..
The New Inter borough Company
and It's Far-Reaching Plans
Are Outlined. i.

New York, Nov. 21.-In magnitude a
rumored proposition to combine the rapid
transit railroad, now being constructed
here, and the Manhattan elevated sys-
tenn surpasses anything of the kind in the
history of municipal transit,Ssays the Her
aid. In Its general features the Manhat-
tan elevated railway Is SO familiar as to re-
quire no detailed description. Its system,
which terminates at the Battery, and in
cludes the lines running the length of
Manhattan island in Second, Third.
Sixth and Ninth avenues, with an extern
sion of the Third avenue line into the
heart of the Bronz,- contains thirty-seven
and one-haf miles of double track road.
The company itself is the outcome of a
consolidation of independent companies
under one control and management. 1t Is
now in process of equipment with electric
ity, and this work has been nearly COM
pleted. It operates 1884 locomotives or
motors and l,122 passenger cars. It's au-
thortzed capital stock is s4S,000;00o, of
which 47,999, 500 has been issued. It's out
standing debt Is $36, $3.50, 0OO.
In addition to the lines already built,
it has franchises for additional extensions
in the Bronz of which it has never taken
advantage. t ~ . g. -.
When J. E. Mcdonald organized the In
terror Borough Rapid Transit company,
August Belmont Incorporated the COM
pany, furnishing the capital and taking
the corporate interest
/, The Inter-Borough Transit Rapid Tran
sit company was Incorporated on May of
this year. August Belmont is president
of this company. Its capital is s35, 1000, 900.
A. contract also is held by the Sub way

BY purchase of the Manhattan lines the
Subway company or its successor, the
Inter Borough company; would be able to
transfer to the elevated at many points
where the lines cross each other, thus
forming perfect net work covering the

believed to be under process of .amalga-

raids were made at. the instance of the
German consul OF this city upon advices

About 400 women were arrested. Scores
of women, many only fpart1y clad. were

Rabbi Joseph Kral2skopf of the Kene-
zeth Israel synagogue and other we'll
known Jews took part in the investigation,
the story having first been that only
Jewish girls had. been ,decoyed to this
country. 1t deveioped.. however, that not
only Jewish, but Italian, French and other
girls, and in one Instance a white girl
from South Africa, had fallen into the

were young, not more than 16 or II.
Magistrate Kochersperger took his seat
in the Central station and Sam Deitz, a
burly citizen in his shirt sleeves, the typi-
cal picture Of a dive bouncer, was the first
man placed in the dock. Three men were

The Hast girl to take the stand broke
down and told a. startling story involving

was. so. revolving in character that the
ladies Of Rabbi Krauskopf's party had to
leave the room. The girl told the magis-
trate that she had been taken to the house
by man who had introduced her to Deitz.
The latter had told her she would have to
pay So a week board and one-half she
made to Deitz.. - -.
Deitz was held in $1,000 bail for court,
and the girls who had refused to tell the
truth were each sent to the house of COR

MR.. FORD'S ESTATE
The Murdered Author Leaves $2l4,'
SOL Personality.
-, york Sam Special Serrtoa


New York. Nov. 21.-The appraiser
report on the estate Of Paul Leicester
Ford the author, who was murdered by
his brother Malcolm on May last. has
been filed in the surrogate's Office. The
gross personality Is s214,691, the larger
part of which Will go to his child, Le1sta
Ford who was born month before her
fathers death, and whose birth upset the
provisions of Fords will.
The will bequeathed his property at 100
and 1O2 Pine Apple street. Brooklyn, TO
his brother, Washington Ford. To his
sister, Mrs. Roswell Skeel, Ford left $4,000
and all the rest and residue Of the estate
was left to the widow, Mrs. Grace Kidder
Ford. This will was proved on June q,
but on the birth Of the daughter she i'm
mediately became entitled to two-thirds
share in her fathers estate, and the
share Of the sister, brother and widow had
to suffer a corresponding diminution. The
bulk of Fords property was in railroad,
bank and Standard Oil stocks. Ford
owned some real estate in this city and
New Hampshire, but the value does not
appear in the appraisal.
Malcolm Ford killed himself after MUIR
dering Paul.
