OPEN CARS IN WINTER.
Passengers Supplied With Blankets in
 Zero Weather.

Zero Weather.
 Putnam, Jan 24.-Every passenger on the new trolley line between Mco- sup and Central Village gets with his seat in very cold weather a new blank ct. Superintendent Cain, who is not a man to be held down by the force of circumstances apparently, has pur- chased lot of new blankets for the use of the patrons And no matter how well or how warmly dressed the patrons may be the blankets are sell dom refused.
 They are needed, for the road is running open cars. There are to be some closed cars some of these days, perhaps in "the good old summer time" the Moosup boys have just be- gun to whistle about, but they have not yet arrived. A Moosup correspond ent says the weather has been intense ly cold out in his section, but for all that the road has been as we'll patron ized as could be expected under the circumstances.
 Whenever a passenger gets off, the conductor Is expected to hike ahead to the seat and collect the blanket, pre- sumably. The passengers, huddled in their blankets, must look like a lot of Indian chiefs. Such unusual con- sideration as the providing of blankets deserves mention. Superintendent Cain deserves we'll of the country.

Washington, Dec 14-Considerable
comment was oocasiOned here by re-
ports that Secretary Root at a dinner
held Saturday night by the Cardiac
Society, an organization OF army and
navy officers who have seen active ser
vice in the Philippines, had predicted
that war would come soon between
the United States and some foreign
power. but the interest displayed in the
report and the speculation IL aroused
as 20 what the secretary had in mind
were dissipated when II became known
that the word soon" was a misquota-
ton. Secretary Root himself said that
he had not predicted that a war would
come soon, but IN his speech merely
had stated what he has given utter
ance publicly on several occasions.
namely. that when the time comes as
we know /. will come some time we do
not know when and we do not know
whence. but we do know IT. will come
some time. when you referring to both
the army and navy are called upon 10

with mutual helpfulness and comrade-
ship"
The speech Of Saturday night, 1t was
stated was merely an expression OF
confidence that in the event Of war the
army and navy would cooperate and
stand shoulder TO shoulder each in sup
port Of the other and the common coun-
try both are charged to support and

WAGES WILLPASSAWAl
Carroll D. Wright Says Profit Shar-
ing Will Takes Its Place,
PREDICTS A NEW LABOR SYSTEM

Plan to Insure Workmen Against In
capacity From Accident Illness or
Old Ase-pemand For Wage No
Longer Sufficient.
Philadelphia. Dec. 1.-THE wages
system will pass away. In its stead,
| believe. there will come system
which will be composed of the profit
sharing aud tho cooperation ideas.
The great labor question means the
struggle of humanity for a higher
standard of life. The employer must
consider his employe, as we'll as the
stockholder. as an investor
These words we're contained in an
address upon The Wage Question" "
made by Carroll d. Wright United
States commissioner Of labor. before
the Society Of Ethical Culture Of this
city.
OF scarcely less interest than his
prediction of a new labor system was
Colonel Wrights approval of a plan
to insure labor against incapacity re-
sulting from accident. illness or ad-
vancing age The German idea was
quoted. under which the employer
must pay one-fourth the cost Of a sick
and death benefit policy, the employe
one-fourth. and the government one
half England. said Colonel Wright,
''has taken ND this question, and we Of
the United States are steadily ap-
preaching t."
Continuing. Col. Wright said "Capi-
tai charges TO the consumer the depre-
citation of property and machinery.
Why should not the depreciation OF la
boris machinery, fits hands, its brains,
its body, be included in the final cost
I'VE see in every progressive com
munity that the demand of the work
man is no longer for wage sufficient
TO enable him to keep body and soul
together. Labor has been taught TO
feel that IL IS a social as well as an
economic power IN the community and
this educating process has gone on un-
til the demand of labor is for a rea-
sonable margin beyond that fixed by
the iron law Of wages.
"The wage system viii pass away. 1t
is as has been shown. unsatisfactory
in many Of IT'S applications. II de-
ponds too largely on its equities upon
the generosity and great miudedness Of
employers. THAT there are many such
who would scorn to influence the votes
or action Of their employees. and who
would be incapable Of taking petty or
great advantage Of their workmen is
happily true. That there are others,
however. who make use OF these oppOr-
tunitiss proves the weakness Of the
system and argues for a greater meas
ure Of Independence for those who la
Dor. The system that viii take the
place Of that under which mere wages
are paid probably will be composed Of
the profit sharing and cooperation
plans. The work people will then ac-
uQire the interest Of investors, the more
capable will rise to their opportunities
and the less worthy will find their
level"

II ls Known Colombian Cruisers APP

Colon. Dec. 14.-Through the exam

the United States cruiser Atlanta and

OF which vessels have returned here
Il has been clearly established that
the Colombian cruisers General Pin2on
and Cartagena appeared In the Guit
OF Darien about 80 hours after they
were reported as having left Carla
gena. No reliable evidence, however
could be obtained TO show that any Of
the troops carried by the cruisers had
been landed either on the gulf coast or
northwest thereof.
The Atlanta and the Maynower made
a thorough inspection OF the entire vi
entity. Il was learned that at one
coast point tnc Cartagena embarked a
small quantity OF naval stores, few
bullocks. some corn and 50 pieces oil
zinc roofing. but no information could
be obtained as TO the direction taken
bv the cruiser there Il has been re-
portcd that Colombian troops were
landed AT n certain point on the Pan
anna coast. but the Atlanta was pres
ent az this place at the time when. ac-
cording o the report the troops should
have been landed. and saw nothing.
The naval officers found that the at
titude Of the Indians was Indifferent
and even repcllant The traditions OF
the Indians for centuries have been
against permitting aliens TO land in
their territory. and these traditions
they still maintain They often de-
cllned 10 answer the questions OF the
interpreters. and on several occasions
their information was found to be mis-
leading.
The information obtained by the At
lanta and Maynower indicates either
that the Colombian troops have been
returned 20 Cartagena or that they
have been landed al some point on tho
coast between Cartagena and the Gulf
Of Darien and may be proceeding
thence toward Cauca.
The Atlanta sailed again toward the
Gulf OF Darien and will continue
careful patrol OF the coast
II would be impossible for the Car

died nearly eight years ago and was
buried at Arden, near here, is unmark-

a granite monument erected above his
resting place. The North Carolina divi-

When Nye passed away his devoted
widow placed a memorial window ID
Calvary Episcopal Church, nearby, but

were frustrated by the failure, soon
after Mr.. Nye's death, of banks In
which practically all the fortune left
by her husband bad been deposited,
At present a little tree is growing at
the head Of the grave. and some one
has laid upon the mound a rude piece
OF stone picked UP on the highway.
Other marks there are none. Mrs J.
NJ. Ransier. president of the Sunshine
Society, Hendersonyille. n. c., is the
active head of the memorial enter
prise. and contributions are invited
from the friends of Nye throughout
the country. They should be address

Climatic Cures.

The influence OF climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too, can do
much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion, and regu-
lar use of German Syrup. Free ex-
peetoration in the morning is made
certain by German Syrup, so is q
good nights rest andsthe absence OF
a weakening cough and facilitating
night sweat. Restless nights and the
exhaustion due TO coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con-
sumptive, can he prevented or stop

1t will be good news to the mother
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
Group Is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears,
and it will dispel all symptoms of
Group. In this way all danger and
anxiety may be avoided. This RENE
dy is used by many thousands OF
mothers and has never been known
TO fail. 1t Is, in fact, the only remedy
that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to take.
