1t has been discovered that the new Jim
Crow car law of New Orleans makes the
conductor such an autocrat as he is in no
other city. Perhaps the most Objectionable
feature Of II is that which authorizes and
empowers the car conductors to pronounce
which Of the passengers are whites and
which are negroes. There is no restraint
on these irresponsible persons clothed with
such extraordinary functions. A car con-
ductor, under the law. can. upon his own
unassisted judgment, without taking any
testimony or making any inquiry, pro-
nounce that any person to whom he has
taken a dislike or a prejudice is a negro
and must sit in the compartment set apart
for negroes, under penalties for refusing
to accept his decree. In the same way he
can force a negro into the compartment for
whites.

Mr.. Watts, the superintendent Of motive
power and rolling stock on the New York
Central railroad and president of the Amer
lean Railway Master Mechanics a~ssoeia-
ton, at the last annual meeting Of that
organization spoke in terms OF the highest
praise OF a understanding device for
locomotives. The practical value of his In
dorsement cannot be disputed, as it is based
upon several months experience with the
use of this smoke consumer upon locomo-
tives under his charge. The result has been
so satisfactory that the device has been
adopted for all new equipment. and ten sets
a month have been ordered for old engines.
In a letter to the Engineering News Mr..
Watts gives some details OF the working
Of the new smoke consumer. He saws: tits
indirect advantages are a reduction Of the
work Of the fireman, a decrease In the
amount OF sparks thrown from the stack
and decreased fouling in the tubes. The
direct advantages are the consumption Of
smoke and the saving in fuel. One series
Of tests showed a saving OF 20 per cent.
Another, and perhaps a more trustworthy
test, showed a saving of IA per cent" There
Is another and a most important advantage
which Mr.. Watts does not mention. The de-
crease in the amount Of sparks thrown from
the stack proportionately diminishes the
danger OF fires, especially in grain fields and
woods, for the locomotive is a frequent in
e~endiary and a most dangerous one, as hith-
erto there has been no trustworthy way Of
preventing its sparks from setting fires in
out Of the way places.
Directly and indirectly this new device is
Of the greatest Importance to the public as
we'll as to the railroads. 1t is conceded
after satisfactory experiments that II will
consume smoke and save labor. fuel and
expense, and 1t can be applied to any loco
motive. This being the case, why do not
other roads adopt It? Why 40 not the
numerous roads entering Chicago adopt II?
The engines on moving trains and the en-
gines in switehyards as we'll as in streets
in this city are among the worst OF the
smoke nuisances. Here is a practical rail-
road man on one Of the most important
roads in this country who says his road is
using a device which consumes smoke. Then
why do not other roads use lit

If publishers promises can be counted
on, holiday book offerings this year are
to surpass everything we have had here
tofore in the way of attractive letter
press and artistic illustration. The great
strides made in the business of book
publishing in the past few years, trace
able largely to the introduction of new
mechanical devices, have o only multi
piled the output many fold, but also
brought within reach of the ordinary
pocketbook the class of publications that
formerly could be afforded by only the
very few. The question constantly sug-
gests itself, to what extent still further
improvements can be made? For the
advance already made the tremendous
expansion of the reading public is re-
sponsible, and If this continues in any
thing like the same degree we may ex-
pect rs much more progress in the book
trade in the immediate future as that
so noticeable in the last decade.

committed an organized assault on the
Fourteenth Regiment Yesterday on its
return from the anthracite coal fields
As the regiment marched past the build
ing, which has reached the height OF

of scantling, and hunks of concrete were
hurled down on the men. Last night
the officers of the Fourteenth and Eigh-
teenth Regiments held meeting, de-
nounced the act, and called on the au-
thorities TO punish the guilty. The as
sault was made regardless of the crowd
on the sidewalks. 1t was evidently pre-
meditated, for the workmen had heaped
up a pile of missiles enough to enable
them to keep up the throwing while the
regiment was passing. Fortunately no.

A HEINOUs CRIME. Mullins
and Son Mullins, who, together with
the notorious outlaw George Potter, were
indicted some months ago in Dickinson
county, Va, for criminally assaulting
Misses Cora and Sallie Wallis, have just
been convicted and given eight years in
the penitentiary. Potter, who was one
of the leaders of the Jim Wright gang OF
bandits. was killed in Russell county,
KY, two months ago while resisting ar
rest The crime for which the Mullin
brothers, who are both desperate men,
have Just been sentenced. was one OF the
most brutal in the State's history. These
men, with Potter, went to the home OF
James Wallis, a farmer, and emptied
their pistols over the head of Wallis 5
wife, frightening her almost to death.
While Wallis had gone to give an alarm
to the neighbors the three men carried
his daughters, Cora and Sallie, aged 10
and II, respectively, into the woods,
where they kept them all night The
girls were left in the woods the follow
ing day, more dead than alive, and their
assailants escaped over the line into Ken
lucky. Mobs secured the country for
several weeks, vowing they would lynch
the men ii caught Potter was after
ward killed, and The Mullins brothers
eluded arrest unnl six weeks ago, when
they were captured in Kentucky end
taken to Dickinson county. Feeling
has been very strong against the men,
and il had been repeatedly reported that
they wouldncver live to be tried in court.
