RAILROAD WORLD.

Nashville special says: J. D. Boyl- ston of Nashville has been rendered the appointment of rate quotation clerk or the entire system of the Southern rail- way and has accepted. He will assume his new duties early next week. MT. Boylston is at present division rate clerk in the freight department of the Nash ville Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: All railroads in the Central Passenger asso- citation have instructed their agents to hereafter not allow signatures on tickets to be made with fountain pens. This is done to balk the game of dishonest scalp CTS. Some cases have been discovered where specially prepared ink was used in a fountain pen in signing a ticket The signature would disappear in few hours and the ticket could be resold to another person. Instructions have been issued to have all tickets signed with the railroad pen and ink.
 The Nashville News asks: Who will pay for the freight car damaged in the recent
 
 vile and Nashville and Southern? The Southern turned it over to prevent the crossing of it's tracks, and the Louisville and Nashville drove two piles through 1t with their pile driver. It was an Illinois Central car Who will pay the damage is an interesting question.
 The Louisville and Nashville has begun the laying of rails on the south side of the Tennessee river at Knoxville This marks the end of a hard fight with the Southern railway for the right of way down the bank of the river.

RECORD OF COURTS.

A rule nisi was entered by Judge c. w. Ferguson of the City court in the matter of the petition for mandamus made by Coroner w. D. Paris to re- quire the county treasurer to pay him $23. 40 which 1t is claimed is due as an inquest fee, making the case returnable on October IS.
 The petition of the coroner is of the nature of a test case to determine wheth- CT 1t is necessary for the board of rev. enue to approve claims made by him for inquest fees.
 Yhe petitioner claims that the sworn statement of the coroner is sufficient warrant for the payment of the fees by the county treasurer, and that the law does not demand that such claims shall be approved by the board of revenue.

Like a Boys Pocket,

A most remarkable case of gastron-
omy for foreign bodies of the stomach
was described at meeting of the
Academic de Medicine. The patient,
a youth 16 years old. had entered the
St. Joseph's Hospital for Epilepsy. He
had had melaena, and a rather sharp
pain accompanied by crepitation in
the left hypochondrium. The opera
tion was performed in June, and the
following bodies were removed
through an oriflce Of two and a half
centimeters: Eight teaspoons, from
8 to Is centimeters long; three
pronged fork, letter file u centime-
tiers long, two sharp points; a needle,
6 centimeters long, a knife blade S
centimeters long, piece OF comb 8
centimeters long, and key. There
were in all twenty-five bodies, weigh
ing 230 grams. The stomach did not
seem to have been affected, and the
patient recovered completely.-Paris

and illuminates it with the lurid light
of their bloody contests.
In order to save the family from
destitution, Flavio, the last Of the
Orsini dukes of Bracciano, felt obliged
to ALLEVIATE the whole duchy. The
Chigis in 1G6l bought four of the
towns in this duchy; the Odescalchis
bought Bracciano for 1900 scudi.
During the French occupation Brac-
ciano was taken without resistance.
After century's possession it was
sold by the Odescalchis for 100000
scudi to the Marquis Giovanni TorlO-
mia in 1903, but with the right of re-
deeming it "jus redimendi." Torlonia
felt secure, it seems, that the fortunes
of the Odescalchis were at low Obj.
and that there was little chance of
their being able to redeem it within
the specified time; and he spent
money upon it decorating it and max
ing summer residence and planking
his coat of arms all over its walls and
halls.

No More "Rickshaw" Men,

Japan is finding that electric trac-
tion and the 'rickshaw" are incompat-
ible and the result is that over 1000
human horses in Tokyo have given
up the unequal struggle with the elec-
trio car and have decided to emigrate
in a body to the Hokkaido. there to
engage in the fisheries and other call
ings. 1t seems pity, for there are
few pleasanter ways of travelling on a
good road than behind a couple of stall
wart runners who do their eight miles
an hour with ease. From the nation.
al point of view the disappearance of
the "rickshaw" men may have i'm
portant consequences. In physique
they form almost a class apart and
though their calling does not conduce
to longevity they were a valuable
asset in Japans military system, as
they proved in the war with China.

Queer Trade Commodities.

Most people nowadays hear a lot
about the conversation of waste, but
looking through the catalogue of
traders OF various kinds it is astound-
ing what a number of eccentric COM
modities are utilized for trade DUR
poses. The skins of millions OF eels
are tanned and used as leather for
bootlaces; frog skins has become one
of the most beautiful and useful arti-
cles known to the binders of fancy
books and the makers of fans; walrus
whiskers provide the most elegant
toothpicks known to the modern man
OF fashion; and beetles of a certain
KIND are exported by the hundred

The women Of the east, taking their
cue from their sisters of the west, are
beginning to realize that there are
careers other than those .circunl-
scribed by the art of the milliner and

tention to matters of more serious i'm

shall appear at the next function of
their set. 1t is the age of fads and
