NO COURTESY IN STREET CARS
New York Paper Tells of a Somewhat
Pathetic Happsning.

fatnetlc happening
His face was very white and tired
and the deep lines in 1t showed plainly
that he was either in the clutch Of
new illness or was only just recover
ing from an old one. He had found
seat in a corner of one of the cars on
the Sixth avenue elevated. A woman
with a baby and a child five or six
years old entered. No one offered
them seat; the sick man looked at
the woman and the babies, and it was
evident he was engaged in a great
wrestling match with his sense OF
courtsey. Presently his sense Of
courtesy won. The woman scarcely
acknowledged his act. She took the
baby in her lap and the child leaned
against her knees The man hung
limp from an opposite strap. At Fiji
tieth street a passenger left the seat
next to the woman and two babies.
The sick man started for it anxiously,
but before he had reached it the wo-
man had lifted the child that had been
leaning against her knee into the seat.

child became vacant. Again the man
started for it. but he was weaker in
the knees now, and before he had
really obtained his balance the baby
was occupying the seat. An over
grown Office boy, hanging from a
neighboring strap swung himself out

voice, shouted to the sick man, That's

Old Texas Mexican Under New

Finest In the State.

Corpus Christi, Texas, July IS
After twenty years running as Il
narrow gauge railroad from Cor
pus Christi all the way to the Cily,
of Mexico, the Texas Mexican
yesterday ran its last train and last
night inangurated first class
standard gauge service
The road was started from Cor
pus Christi in 1876 by Capts'
Kennedy, King and Lott and was
only completed to San Diego.
About five years later it was built
to Laredo and Mexico by The
Mexican National company. With
the passing into oblivion of the
slow, trudging narrow gauge also
goes the name Texas Mexican. >
and the assuming of the name
National Railroad Of Mexico
The old road leaves marvellous
record behind, /. =, that during
all the twenty years of its existence

his or her life, Notwithstanding
the road RIMS through a rough,
mountainous country betwren Mon
terey and the Mexican capital.
The nrw road juSr completed

finest in the State aud the rolling
stock Is first class, except III some
instances, where the old cars have
had wider trucks put under them.

The proposition to send ont a
"rice cooking train" with several
good culinary artists to give object
lessons in the art of cooking rice,
is a good one. There seem to be
not more than one in ten cooks
who know how to prepare this ce-
real properly, and the UDpalatable,
pasty mass that is usually made of
it is almost enough to discourage
extensive rice culture. Properly
prepared, rice is both appet;zing
and wholesome, being one of the
most nutritious and easily
digested of all cereals, but there
is a whole lot of room for improve
ment in the way it is most frequent
ly served in this country of igno.
rant and careless cooks.

IT Is now said that General
Wood will be given charge of the
military government of the Panama
canal strip during the construction
of the canal, if that project should
materialize. 1t was not supposed
that the president intended to pun
iSh his old chum, Lenuie, but the
place mentioned appears to be
about the hardest soft snap on the
list, unless the governorShip of
Guam be excepted. Life on the
IsthmuS of Panama is said to be
anything but pleasant. But, then,
General Wood does know how to
fOrtify himself against trials of
that sort, and perhaps after all he
may be the best man for the place.
With a gOodly supply of old Tokay,
and the Widow Clicquot for com.
pany, the general can stand any
thing in reason.

The probable corn yield of the
present year is the subject of con-
siderable interest and speculation
The latest prediction is one by
Paul Morton, first vice president
of the Santa Fe road, who esti-
mates the total crop of the country
this year at two aud half billion
bushels-the largest ever known.
Mr.. MortOn's estimate differs very
widely from those made by most
market men of late, whJ are posi-
tive the crop will be very short.
Ii he is correct, and not merely
trying to bear the market, there
will probably be a lot of lambs
shOrn in Wall street next fall.

HYDROPHoBIA.

The following prescription taken
from the Glasgow, KY, Times and
vouched for by Judge r. j. Breck-
enridge, q prominent lawyer of
Danville, as an infallible remedy
against hydrophobia, is produced
in order that those who are suffer
ing losses to live stock through the
depredations of valves may TEST
its efficacy 1t is the same remedy
now being tried by the San Anto-
tonic dairymaD, Frank Jones, who
had vdlugble COW bitten several
days since by rabid dog The
Express furnished through him this
same prescription obtained through
another source and now that it is
vouched for by seemingly high au-
thority 1t is given to the public.
Judge Breckenridge says:
The time between the biting of
an animal by maddOg aud the
showing signs of hydrphobic Is
uot less than nine days, but may
be nine mon. hs. After the animal
has become rabld scratch of the
tooth upon person or the slobber
coming III contract with sore or.
raw place will produce hydropho-
bia just the same as if bitten by
mad dog. Hydropiobia can be
prevented and | will give villa; is
known as an infallible remedy for
man and beast If properly adminis-
tered. A dose for horse or COW
should be four times as much as
for ii person. 1t Is not too late to
give the medicine any time before
the Spasms come on.
The dose for pXSon is one aud
one half ounces n elecapanc root

Three doses are all that are needed |
aud there need be no fear, as Il
know from my own experience and |
know of number of cases where
it was entirely successful. This is
no guessWork. The persons alIud-
ed to had cen bitten by thier own
dogs, which were then tied up to
see if they re really mad, and
the remedy wa successful. a ply
sican told me tint he had known
of the use of this feuxdy for over
thirty years and never knew of 1t
to fail when properly administer

ASSESSORS NEGLIGENT.
County Board Of Equalization
Demands More Promptness
from West New York.

The members Of the County Board for
the Equalization of Taxes are indignant
at the way they have been treated by the
Assessors from the taxing districts of
North Bergen and Town of West New
York. Under chapter 1S9, laws of 1901,
it is mandatory that the County Board,
through its secretary, shall fix up 4
statement to each assessor in blank upon
which return Of all his exempt property
shall be made, classified as public school,
church, cemetery, ETC., and shall be filed
with said County Board as part of the
abstract Of ratables to be signed by each
assessor on the first Monday in Septem-
Der Oabor Day.
Joseph Kennel of North Bergen and
James J. Bowe of the Township of West
New York. are the guilty ones, and the
Board in all probability will on Monday
next take some action as seems proper to
prevent recurrence of this neglect.
