GOING, AFTER ALI.

So General Miles is going to the Philippines. after ali. The order issued to him by the acting Secretary of War reads: "sir: I have the honor to state that your application for authority to inspect that portion of the army serv- ing in the Philippines is approved by the President. You will sail about the 18th of September and in inspecting the condition of the army will give atten- tion to its instruction. discipline and to supplies of all kinds"
 It is given out that General Miles ap- plication to go to the Philippines was of comparatively recent date and was in no way connected with his applica- tion of several months ago, which ap- plication was coupled with certain sug- gestions as to terminating the war, and was refused. So all is now as right as right can be, and everybody is satis- fled, except those who wanted to see an extensive and complicated row in I Washington.

four counties along the northern coast of New Jersey, where she runs every week day of the year along the brink of sea and harbor into the great city Neither drifting snows nor summer tempests delay her, and in every farm house or fisherman's cottage that sehe runs past in the winter season they know that when the second hand of the kitchen clock comes around to a certain inclination they will see her steam through the trees. and that if they don't, in ninety-nine eases out of a hundred, it is the fault of the clock and not of locomotive No. 63o, which hauls her.
 The train is a social institution, too. and the Christmas dinner of her crew while she is lying up somewhere below Manasquan before her afternoon fight ranks with the firemen's ball as an event
 So it happens that folks who spend their lives down that way always travel by No. 2SS, when they go down to Perth to do their quarterly buying, knowing that inside her hospitable vestibules they are pretty sure to foregather with equally prosperous friends of kindred interests.
 One day last week an elderly man of this type boarded her from an ancient farm wagon at Deal. A newsboy came through at Elberon and he bought an evening paper, which he scanned rapid ly and laid aside. Another abandoned paper was lying in the aisle. Furtively he picked 1t up, went through it with equal raDidity, and cast it aside. By the time Red Bank was passed he had handled at least dozen newspa- pers in like manner, and then fat man with silk skull cap, whose privilege it is to take long ride on No. 2SS every day, and who had first formed the old farmers acquaintance a couple of years ago, reminded him that they had met before, and asked if he could help him.

ORIGIN OF TROLLEY POKER

Game That Philadelphlans are Playing
 on the Street Cars is Becoming Pop-
 ular.
 "The exchange ticket is coming more and more into popularity every day." said trolley car conductor yesterday. Tt is undoubtedly profitable to people who ride in the cars a great deal, but the other night had two young fellows on my car who made the yellow and blue tickets sources of amusement as we'll as profit. They gambled with them. Have you heard of that mode of gambling This Is the way it Is done: "On every exchange ticket, as you can see, there is a number printed in red, the number of the ticket. You can cas- fly see that game something like po- ker can be worked out with these num- bers. A pair, three of kind, straight, full house, four of kind can be fonud on the slips, as on this, for instance: Here is the number 83.634. or pair of threes.
 "These two young men on the car shuff1ed their tickets up, and then, be- i ginning at the top. compared them one by one. The man having the high num- Der won, if there was not pair. just as in poker, and the winner got both tick cts.
 When one of the boys got off, the other one told me that he traded ex- changes with all his friends in order to get good hands for the evening game, for, he said, they played it every night From the way they enjoyed it, I would call it a good game, very inter- esting on a long street car ride. And from the way people buy exchanges nowadays I should say that almost ev- cry city dweller could play it. The stores will find a ready sale for those exchange pocketbooks they are putting out and the firms that furnish the books as advertisements will have trouble supplying the demand.
 "Just at this time there is one draw back to the game. The new Philadel- phia Rapid Transit Company's ex- changes have very low numbers, and are almost always beaten by the old Union Traction company slips. When the exchanges are uniform, the game will be fair for all, and expect to see
 Trolley Poker become as popular as ping-pong. g."-Philadelphia Press.

var. together with a list of the modest claimants. With this information a hustling attorney could make a lot of money by stirring up the old sailors and their surviving heirs to demand their rewards from the government. But these facts form one of Uncle Sam's secrets, and no amount of per suasion or clever questioning can elicit the desired information.
 This is rather tantauzing. Auditor Brown seems to be pretty sure that a good many people will never get what belongs to them. But why shouldn't they? And if proper publicity would enable them to why shouldn't there be such publicity?

REAL MONEY UNCEATMFD.

The unclaimed estates' in England
 don't pan out very well, but there is
 some real money in the United States treasury that is unclaimed. About s12,-
 900 or $15,O00 will soon be added to the
 already big stock of unclaimed prize money in the treasury, unless the sail-
 ors of the American navy who took part in the Manila and Santiago fights step
 to the front and claim what is due them, said Auditor Brown of the navy to the Washington correspondent of the
 Brooklyn Eagle. And he said further: We have distributed every penny of prize and bounty money that the courts decided was due to officers of the fleets
 of Dewey and Sampson, but the enlist ed men do not seem to be so anxious to
 get their share. This Is undoubtedly
 due to the fact that they do not know that we are waiting to hand over the
 money to them. Many of the tars in , the two fights were of foreign birth and
 knew nothing of the system of dividing prize money and bounties. These fel- lows have since been transferred to other ships; some have died and others
 have gone out of the service and into
 other trades. There is no chance for the industrious attorneys to get after
 them and fill out their claims, as they do for the soldiers. So the chances are that considerable part of the money that fell to the sailors will never be claimed. should say that the unclaim- ed portion of the Spanish war awards
 amounts to between $12000 and $15, ,000.

 would give a round sum of monay to be
 told the amount of unclaimed prize money the treasury holds from the civil

ANOTHER CURE.

New cures for consumption are as thick nowadays as directions how to live to be a hundred or more. The other day a Paris physician reported that one of his patients climbed a mountain in Switzerland. was caught in a severe storm, altogether unpro- tected, lost in the snow, lived for three
 days and nights in the open and was at
 last sent back to France, since which
 time he has continued to improve and
 is now pronounced cured. Now comes the report of the case of man who, on being told by a doctor in San Fran
 cisco that his lungs were almost dis
 abled by consumption and that he had better go home to die, started out to tramp back to Toronto. For some time
 the man suffered terribly from weak ness and it seemed as though he must
 succumb to the hardships and priva- tions that he was, compelled to endure. I
 But finally he began to gain in flesh, and to recover his strength, so that he
 could tramp a long distance each day.
 He was scorched by the sun and
 pinched by frosts, and yet when he ar
 rived at Toronto he was well man,
 weighing 1S6 pounds, whereas, when he
 started out, he was supposed to be dy- ing, and was reduced to weight of S1 I pounds.
 It is quite likely that not few con-
 sumptives would find health in the way the Toronto man did, but there are few who would have the nerve to try the | remedy that cured him.

Why, the people in Missouri are crazy over him, Bryan's friends are all talk ing Johnson, and every new move of his only increases their admiration for him. have just come from three weeks tour of the East.

Analyses of the air in London tunnels in which no locomotives are used show that the percentage of carbonic acid is about twice as great as in the open air, and sometimes five or six times as great. In the former case it is about fifty per cent. above the legal maxi mum. Engineers who have been con- suited recommend that no communica- tion should be permitted between one tunneI and another and that the air put in motion by an advancing train should be allowed to flow out through openings ' provided for the purpose and that on }. the departure of train from any sta- tion trap door shall be closed behind it and fresh air allowed to flow in from the outside to fill the partial vacuum caused by the suction of the train.
