George c.. Skies of Chicago, formerly Of
Minneapolis, writes in the Chicago News
of the Merits Of the Minneapolis Gate
in discussing traction problems. He says
that the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany has done more to safeguard passen-
gers than any street railway In the coun-
try. AS a whole the system Is exce11ed
by that Of only two or three cities, but
nowhere do the cars so insure the safety
and comfort of the passengers. few
years ago the company complained OF the
burden of payments for personal injuries.
It was found that large portion of the
accidents resulting in personal injury
claims was due to persons getting on OF
off the cars while the cars were In mo-
ton. The company devised the gate. A
table is given to show for ten-yea1
period the passenger earnings and dam
age payments as follows:

In 1885, when the gates were put on,
the payments were reduced to $4,000.
Last year with the traffic more than 50
per cent greater than for 1884 the pay
ments for injuries were less than in 1894.

San Bernardino Dispatch Says Boiler

San Bernardino Dispatch Says Boiler
makers Are Still Out.
A dispatch from San Bernardino says:
Another batch Of Workn1en arrived from
the east late last night to take the
places OF the striking bOilermakers at
the Santa Fe machine shops in this city.
Three n en- were from Chicago, where
they had been employed through an
agent of the railroad company. OF the
number only four, it is claimed, were
bOilermakers and as they were union
men they refused to go to- work when
they learned of the situation here.
With one exception all of the men have
left the city and the boilermakers' de-
partment Of the shops is still inactive,
save for the little work done by help
ers.
The San Bernardino Sun says: In
the short meeting which they held in
Aliens hall in this city, it was unan-
imously agreed by the striking boiler
makers that the terms offered their
committeeman by General Manager
Wells in Los Angeles on Friday were
impossible terms and they could not see
their way clear to accept them. At
Needles a meeting was held in which
the sentiment was even stronger
against Mr. Wells proposal than it had
been at the meeting here. AS soon as
possible definite answers will be framed
and presented to Mechanical Superin-
tendent JOughins at his offices in this
city. Although nothing can be stated
positively, as it is possible that the
boilermakers may change their present
attitude in the matter, it is almost safe
to predict that the strikers reply to the
proposition made to them by Mr. Wells
will meet with thanks but likewise a
prompt refusal Of acceptance.
AT the present time the union boiler
makers are out at this place, Needles.

STRUGGLE BETW ZEN GEO. GOULD
AND MOORE BROS.
It looks as If George Gould was about
to begin a struggle against the Moore
brothers to checknate one Of their at
tempted enterprises. A survey has been
made by the Rock Island for an extern
sion from Fort Worth Tex, to Calves
ton and Beaumont The construction Of
such line would necessarily hurt Gould's
Texas lines by diverting business from
them, and Gould. In order to spoil the
Moore brothers scheme, is now arrang-
ing to extend the international and
Great Northern railroad, which Is the
Texas line of the Gould system. from
Fort Worth north to a connection with
Kansas City.
In addition to the fact that the ex-
tension Of the Rock Island to the gulf
win interfere with the International and
Great NOrthern's business south. there
is said to be another reason for GOuld's
anxiety to thwart the Moore brothers
scheme. He owns extensive coal mines

tension is built, connection viii probably

where in southern Kansas. The Kan

place the International in touch with

to be taken with regard to expansion
and improvements.
At the next meeting of the presidents
it is fully expected that the announce
ment will be made that the Rock Island
comes into the Terminal association on
a proprietary basis. This is generally
believed to be the outcome of the Wig
gins Ferry contest, the ownership of
that property passing to the Goulds and
other leading Terminal interests. The
Wabash has shown every disposition to
treat the Rock Island fairly as the sue
cessor Of the Colorado line and its rights
and privileges over the Wabash tracks,
and likewise in regard to the West End
terminal situation and the Worlds fair.
The mercury is climbing upward and
the presidents of the proprietary lines
are anxious to dispose of all the Ter
rninal questions and wipe off the slate
before the summer vacation.

FOOD OF THE CANARY ISLANDERS.

The Canary Islanders are among the
most healthy people in the world. They
live on gofo, which consists Of wheat and
corn parched or dextrinized in an iron
kettle over a fire, then ground and eaten
mixed with water. Attention was first
called to this food by an eminent physi-
clan visiting the Canary Islands. who was
cured of chronic dyspepsia by eating gofio.
A prominent Chicago physician lived on
gofio for many years, which he obtained
from the Battle Creek Sanitariun. where
it was formerly used in the treatment of
various digestive disorders. BY an i'm
portant discovery a great Improvement
was made IN the preparation. which is
now known as Toasted Wheat Flakes.

LAID 1T ALL TO THE NJ
Novel Defense Set Up in N Damage
Suit for Injuries Received in
n Slaughter House.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 2O.-Willis
Jones, a butcher, filed suit in the
common pleas court in Kansas City,
Kas., recently to o $1,000 from
the Armour Packing Co, for personal
injuries.
Last September Jones started to
butcher q lamb, which was strung up
by its heels. The dying animal kicked
the knife in the butchers hand, with
the result that the right hand was
badly cut. The attorneys for the Ar.
mour company have filed this answer
to Jones' petition:
"If the plaintiff received any in.
iuries at the time and place stated in
his petition, said injuries were caused
by the carelessness and negligence Of
the lamb, which the plaintiff and his
fellow-workmen had, without it's con-
sent, suspended by its hind legs, and
made an incision across it's throat,
and whose front legs the plaintiff was
cutting, carving and mutilating while
it was yet alive; and instead of quiet
ly submitting to such treatment and
dying a lamblike death, as it should
have done, wantonly and willfully
struggled and negligently kicked,
striking the plaintiffs hand and the
knife held therein, thereby iniicting
said injuries"
