TENDERS ON CARS.
No Danger of Being Killed by Stree
Cars with the New improvements.

The trolley cars have been equip
ped with tenders and these work
very well. There is no danger of
being killed by the cars and they
pick up man every time. This is
done too without hurting them in
the least although sometimes the
cars have been running at good
rate.
A test of the new fender was made
this morning at 10 o'clock at Houeh
street, on Beechurst avenue. One
of the men who attached the tenders
picked up twice by the car, going at
the average rate of speed, and ex-
pericnced no inconvenience except
the loss OF his hat. The test was
thoroughly satisfactory, and was
made in the presence of directors of
the company, newspaper men ard
others.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The feature
of the session of the international
Typographical union convention was
the speech of Frederick Driscoll, COM
missioner of the Publishers associa-

said these strikes were ineXcusable and
in violation of the agreement the pub
fishers, which requires all disputes be
settled by arbitration and provides
for an arbitration board.
President Lynch, in reply, said he
would have something to say when
the matter was reported on, and that
he hoped to be able to show that the
merits Of the case were not all ON one
side. A report was made favoring the
creation of a memorial in honor Of the
late Amos Cummings to be located on
the grounds of the Printers Home at

MAY BE CALLED IN OCTOBER
Extra Session of Congress Not Unlikely To
BE Summoned Month Earlier
Than Expected

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 14.-An ex-
ira session of congress in October, in
stead of Nov. 8, is expected as a re-
suit of developments at the confer
ence of senators with the president
here. Another important development
is the announced intention of the Re-
publicans to consult Democratic sena-
tors and bankers, business men and
others before deciding on the financial
legislation to be proposed.
Although an extraordinary session Of
congress in the fall is assured it has
not been determined whether it will
be called to meet in October or in
November 1t has been supposed that
the extraordinary session would con-
vene Monday, Nov. 8, but indications
now are that it will be called at an
earlier date = perhaps several weeks

Washington, Aug. IA. Postmas-

a staement showing the status of the
rural free delivery service throughout
the country. 1t shows that during the
month of July, the first month of the
present fiscal year, almost 5000 new
routes have been established.
The appropriation made for the en-
tire service for the year was $4,000
900, or q little less than $3,0OO,0O0
more than necessary to maintain the
existing service. This is only suffi-
cient to justify the establishment of
about 5000 new routes. There are
now on file petitions for about 1900
more routes.

Characteristics of Plants.

Times at which different plants
open and shut their petals have been
investigated, and it is commonly
found that the hour varies according
to the amount of moisture in the air.
The main thing is to protect the pol
Zen from invading moisture, and since
some plants, such as the pimpernel,
promptly close their petals on the near
approach Of rain, they serve as wealth
er glasses. Some plants seem to believe

Origin of Family Name.

King Peters family name of Kara
georgevitch is said by M. Rene Tail
lander in his book, LA Scribe Kara
George ct Milosch." to have originated
as follows: For his sisters wedding
George Petrovitch (the grandfather of
King Peter) had given her some bee
hives. His mother in his absence
changed some Of them and when he
discovered this he placed one of them
on his mothers head. She called out:
'That villain George-that black vii
lain!" Hence the surname (Tserni
George, Kara-George). The mother,
who escaped with a few stings, was
it appears, fond of repeating this anec-
dote about her famous son, who drove
the Turks out of Servia.

consueIo Revives Archery.

Fashion, as represented by Consu-
elo, Duchess of Marlborough is said
TO be responsible for the awakening OF
American interest in the delights of
archery. Archery, as the American
mind has considered it up to now,
seemed a milk-and-water amusement
confined to the rural English maiden
and her curate admirer. But it seems
even Britain's Queen speeds the ar
row from the bow on occasions. and,
all the court following suit, our own
Duchess gives us delicately to under
stand that archery is the thing.
