CAR BARNS IN A HILL.
Unique Proposition to Add to
Pittsburg's Railway Facilities.

Pittsburg is likely to have ere long
the most remarkable railroad car
barns in the world. Engineers of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad have for some
time been conducting an expert inves-
tiyation into as unique proposition
as was ever made to a corporation.
says the Pittsburg Times. This propo-
sition is nothing less than the driving
of six $50 foot tunnels into the side or
tae hill that rises behind the Union
station. In these tunnels are to be
stored and cleaned the hundreds OF
cars that are daily called into use on
the Pittsburg division of the great
trunk line This suggestion was the
free offering of an eastern travelling
man who in his frequent Journeys to
and through Pittsburg became i'm
pressed with the urgent need Of great
or track facilities about the Union sta
ton. He visited the Pittsburg officials
Of the railroad, briefly outlined his
scheme and left
Each of the six tunnels is to be
about deep enough to accommodate
four standard length coaches. They
will be wide enough for two tracks
and three passageways broad enough
for the car cleaners to work with ease.
Electric light will dispel the darkness
of the huge caves. while brick ROOFS
and cement floors will keep the damp
ness out. The tunnels are to be close
together. and entrance to them Will be
gained by ladder track connecting
with one of the main yard tracks. The
tunnels will be driven into the hi
near the upper end of the trainshed
close to the very places where the cars
will be needed when tn trains are
made up 1t is believed that the entire
work can be done for considerably less
than 100000.
The storage tracks now used are be-
yond the Seventeenth street knuckle
| For many months they have been
wholly inadequate to the demands
made upon them. but there was nc
way to increase their capacity. An I'M
pOrtant part of the Union station is
underground. It was the lack of room
that impellad the construction OF sub
terranean baggage rooms and tracks.

AN ODD INDUSTRY.
Commercial Purposes of the Rose
Have Taken a Fall.

In an interesting trade report for
eign consul in eastern Roumania point,
out that the yield of altar of roses this
year is from 20 to 50 per cent less than
in 1900 He makes out lamentable
case for those who grow roses to sup
ply the famous essence Prices have
fallen to an extraordinary degree in
the foreign markets. 'Reports have
reached here" he says, "that some of
the so-called better brands have been
offered abroad at about $3.50 per kilo
two and one-half pOunds), a price
which would not cover the first cost of
purchase on this side" The main
cause for regret is that the rose fields
belong to peasant prOprietors, who are
also distillers of the essence, and the
ruin of the industry means their I'M
doing. 1t is suggested that strong
influence is telling against this trade.
The taste in perfumes in recent years
has undergone revolution. The rose
is itself more cultivated than ever, but
the commercial purposes of the queen
of flowers has fallen into the back
ground.

STARTED A BANK WITH 81.
A Winning Smile and a Suit
Case the Principal Assets.

1t is not every young man who can
establish a bank with $4,000 capital
an a dress suit case. a winning smile
and ST. Yet that is what Pleasant
Durham did in Elnora, Ind. He went
into business in April. Last week he
disappeared. Over $4,000 in deposits
are missing and now there Is a reward
of $500 offered for his arrest.
Elnora had been hungering for a
bank. Rival towns had banks and
Elnora, with one thousand inhabitants,
kept longing to equal Odon and Wash
ington in financial way. In April
Mr.. Pleasant Durham from Chicago
drifted into town with his dress suit
case, seven dollars and smile. He
hadn't been in town two hours before
he decided that he would start a bank
in Elnora. He talked with the lead
ing business men, secured promises OF
deposits, talk ed airly of his backing,
and in twenty-fOur hours rented the
finest brick building in town. He
paid nothing down.
In two days more a safe and some
second hand fixtures came down from
Chicago, and on the fourth day the
sion "Bank of Elnora" appeared over
the door. There was some trouble In
opening the safe, and Mr.. Durham
gave sealed package marked $40
600 currency" to a leading business
man to put in his safe over night.
This was whispered about and gave
the new bank big reputation.
Meanwhile Mr.. Durham had nor
spent one cent or paid one bill in the
town. The first day the bank was
opened all the patriotic people who
| had been crying for bank rushed IN
with their money. Next day Mr.
Pleasant Durham began to pay up.
Doing even better than expected
was Durham's account of the banking
business of the town, and on severa
occasions he had influential men come
in behind the railing to see the safe
! in which at such times were punches
| of bank bills tied up in bundles OF 800
/ and 81, 900, with loose bills flung abou
in an abandon of riches.
Last Monday evening Mr.. Pleasan
Durham disappeared from Elnora. The
bank did not open next day. 1t wa
opened bv the sheriff two days later
| The safe combination was found. II
the strong box were two twO-ceu
stamps and some notes that could no
! be negotiated outside of ElnOra. The
entire community was hard hit.

NEW TELEGRAPHlC WONDER.

M. Menadier, principal of the Poly

undulatory currents has found means

twelve operators during several hours
sent messages simultaneously on
single wire; and at the same time, and
without the operators being aware of
it, private kilograms and service mes

that at one time on the same wire as
many as twenty-five simultaneous Gee

dozen operators, all using the same
wire, to exchange 1900 kilograms of
twenty words each, or total of $4,000
words, in one hour. This marvellous
invention when put into practice
should prove boon to beth newspaper
proprietors and postal authorities, for
with the new system, at times of heavy
pressure, at a given point. instead of
laying additional wires. it will only
be necessary to dispatch to the ter

If Paris is prolific in producing

amusing method. DR.. Rousseau and
his wife were walking on the boule-
Yards a few days ago when a young
man snatched a handbag containing
money and jewelry which Madame was
carrying The dentist was unable to
catch the thief, but had time to dis
tinguish his features, though he never
expected to see him again. BY a Curl
Gus coincidence, however, the thief
came to the dentists day or two
later to have his teeth attended to.
DR.. Rousseau concealing his astonlsh-
ment, asked him to take seat, as 1t
would be necessary to take an impress

ately proceeded to do. When the dem

sufficiently solid he calmly explained
to the helpless thief that he was at his
