FOR AID or WRECK VICTIMS

Mrs. Dnslln~tcn Dooth suwgcsts Taat
Traias Carry AnmSthctics.
Moved by descriptions of the suffer
ings endured by victims OF recent rail-
road wrecks. Mrs. Maude Dalilngton'
Bo0th has sent letters TO the presidents
Of leading railroads in the United
States recommending that trains be
equipped with onUsthotics, TO be used
In rendering unconscious the dying or
Injured passengers pinned underneath
The wreckaso OF cars.
This plan, Mrs. Booth says, is not the
idle suggestion of a moment but comes
from one who travels a great deal and
who las frequently seen unfortunate
men ard women imprisoned in wreck
age while MANNED or burning TO death.
She advises that every train be fitted
out with ether, chlorofofm and sumu-
lants. for use I'm emergencies, or that
a case filled with them should be In the
possession ofscvery train conductor.
"In view Of the serious accidents
which have been agitatlng the public
writes Mrs. Booth, "and the painful
details whlch have aroused so much
humane sympathy, l trust the sugges-
iion contained In this letter will re-
cciyc some consideration and, IL found
practical. may be adopted by your road
am a vc-y extensive traveller, spend
Ing many days and nights Of every
month upon the road, and therefore
any question which affects the life ol
comfort Of passengers or OF the brave
men ahead comes very closely home Il
me-"
Mrs. Booth goes on TO say that Ne
Gently and In the past many survivor
Of wrecks have had TO witness the ag
ony Of injured victims whom they coul'
not aid. If a dumb animal were seel
] I'm similar circumstances, she says, IL
life would be ended by swift blow o
Z a merciful shot.
"why not" continues Mrs. Bootl
"equip every train. or, better still, tn
conductor of each train, with a smal
case containing chloroform, ether, stin
ulants, bandages, lotions for bruiso
and antiseptlc solutions for the wasl
= ing of wounds? These could be packe
IN o very small case and would repre-
I sent no very costly outlay"

RIPPER BILL

1t has come to light that certain gem
lemen in and out of the Legisla-
bre are eager to give the city a new
charter. II is not the Board or TIude
charter. but one THAT would be very
much more beneficial to certain gentle
men Of the road IA bill IS being draft
ed for presentation TO the Legislature,
0ut it is not yet completed, owing to
the fact that its sponsors have not yet
decided just how far the graft can be
worked.
There are certain things settled, how
ever, among them being the officers to
be named in the bill. They include
about everything worth mentioning. ex-
cepting the Mayor and the work OF
slecting them Is to be taken out of the
hands of the people-the Legislature

officers TO be named include prominent
Democrats and Union Republicans, two
at least of whom are members OF the
present Legislature. They will TAKE
held of the city government the finsi
of April next, and how long they viii
continue in Office depends on the fea
lures of the bill yet TO be decided. 1
may be either four, six or ten years.
Now we are assured that all OF th'
above is correct, by both Democrat
and Republicans. and we predict tha
in due season the people of Whining

seems to be to discount the work of tn

by q Chicagonn's Efforts.
While Secretary Wilson and his de-
partment OF agriculture are trying TO
produce a featherless breed Of hens for
the southern states Miller Burvis Of
Chicago, a noted authority on hcnolOgy,
is busy producing chickens with hair
on instead of feathers for cold climates,
says the Pittsbmg Dispatch.
The experiments are conducted by
DR.. w. NJ. Black Of Bolivar, 0. The
fowls produced by Dr. Black are called
Klondikc chickens. and the doctor says
they are warmly enough thatched to
stand any amount Of cold and go right
on laying eggs.
He believes that an arctic explorer
supplied with a dozen Of his hens can
travel all over the frigid regions and
have fresh laid eggs and broilers
through all the journey. The doctors
chickens cannot fly.

very bright little ron in Bryant, upon

]. pierpont Morgan's private library
and art gallery TO be erected in the
rear OF his Madison avenue and East
Thlrty-sixth street home, IN New York,
will be the largest I'm the country. The
architects, McKim. Mead & White,
said that the plans had not been COM

1t is Mr.. Morgans purpose 70 have the
structure built with as little inconven-
fence as possible TO his neighbors and
not have it dwarf houses near by. The
cost Of the structure is TO be $350,000,

tlscr.
The plans I'm the bureau of buildings
are for a two story structure, with Il
frontage Of 1852 feet ON Thirty

TO be in the shape of L, the central
section to be 1875 feet in depth. The
two wings are to be about forty feet
each. The foundation is on bedrock
at seven feet below the ground level.
The foundations are of rock, and the
supporting walls are to be Of brick.
There is TO be Il main hall, with the
bookshelyes along the wall, and sever
al mezzanine floors that are not TO ex-
tend the length of the building or tho

Grateful Pnrisians.

A number Of Parisians who were in
the siege have decided TO erect a mon
ument to the memory Of the pigeons
that carried the dispatches which kept
up communication with the outside
world. says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. 1t will consist of pedes-
tai -surmounted by a bronze vase, on
which will be cast a group Of the birds
that proved Of such utility to the
French. The gratitude comes somewhat
late, for after the war the pigeons in
question were sold 10y auction and
commemorated in pigeon pies.

the pregnant hinges OF the knee that
thrift may follow fawning." A few
years ago one of our statesmen had
private secretary, who became noted as
an astute politician He cut an I'M
mense swath in local politics for a
time, but after awhile boss came
along with a big pocketbook, and then
the politician capitulated. He mag
ined that he could serve two masters
at once. especially as one of them
could be worked for Federal offices,
and the other could put up the cash
fas an evidence of good faith $4,000
was required to be paid spot CASH. So
the boss went on and distributed his
Doodle, and the politician titled the
garden of the public service where
there was much spoils.
Finally the politician came back to
his native heath and became the can
didate for a public office. He received
the support of one faction because OF
his professed loyalty to it, and used
the money Of the other on plausible
pretext. Consequently vox populi,
which we know is Vox Del, gave him
the coveted Office. Once in power he
began a most wonderful bareback per-
formance, riding two horses at once.
Possibly his real motive was to place in
power each Of his benefactors; possi-
bly, he had nothing in mind but stir
Ing up deviltry; anyway, he failed TO
accomplish anything, since neither Of
his benefactors was elected, and as for
deviltry, there were other experts in
that who left him without job.
At this point the boss of the pocket
oook met the politician and a converaa-
tion something like the following en-
sued:
you have been playing double long
enough. Who are you for, anyway?
You are always stirring up deviltry.
Tell me who you are for?"
why" stammered the politician,
you ought to know"
Eyes, l know" said THE boss. land
let me tell you, I'll crush you like the
rotten egg that you are. "Tl drive you
out of the State like a dog"
The politician bowed meelly and
.ook the train for home. lie sat fol
hours in a rear seat, his head dropped
his eyes unseeing and so he passed Out
into the night. But by the time the
sun came up over the roofs of the city
the next morning, he had made up-his
mind and mapped out his course. lie
would fall in with the procession and
declare that all was we'll He forced his
features into a smile that reminded one
of the grin of a cadaver, and let it D,
known that he was prepared to lick the
hand that smote him.
The moral is that when you are after
graft you must cease to think, leave
your self-respect at home and put YOU
