NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Despite his
efforts to push the work along rapidly
it seems now that Mayor Low will np'
have the honor of opening the new
subway, which, by the way, is the ;Rdst
extensive individual Improvement evel
attempted in New York. There Isl q

they felt would be theirs. They have
succeeded, as the subway will not be

MISS Lulu CHASER TO APPEAR

A young and pretty woman on the

the whole evening is a rarity, but this
is what Miss Lulu Chaser is able to do
in her comic opera, dolly Warden
which is to be presented at the spo-

achieved success in the comedy veins
are long past the stage of girlhood and
many of them gain their points by

FOILED THE ROBBERS.
Peculiar Experience on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford.

Woonsocket, r.. l., Sept. H.-BecauSe the
trained eye of Engineer George w. Boss
recognized in the awkward swing of a
lantern the work of a novice, he pulled
the throttle wide open and drove his train
swiftly by a warning signal ahead and
frustrated what is believed TO be an at
tempt to hold up the boat train at Plum
mer's Ledge, a lonely spot a mile north
of Within station, on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad.
The train had reached a point within
an eighth of a mile of Plummer's Ledge,
where Engineer Boss saw a green signal
light indicating "A clear track. Suddenly
the light changed to red and the engineer
closed the throttle and set the air brakes.
As he did so a lantern was swung across
the track, but not In the easy manner ac-
CURED by experienced trainmen, and 1t
flashed across Boss mind that the man
who gave the signal was not stopping the
train for any good purpose. For a sec
ond he hesitated, balancing in his mind
the chances of wrecking his train If he
went on and the probability Of Its pas
sengers being robbed, and perhaps killed
If he brought it to a standstill.
As far as he could see an unobstructed
track lay before i'm. In a few seconds
his mind was made up and he dashed past
the danger signal. Leaning out of his cab
Engineer Boss saw a man leap from the
track, two other men standing on the lad
der holding the stationary light and tam
pering with the signal while seven other
men were lined up along the roadbed.
Immediately on reaching Providence ne
reported the matter to superintendent
Whaley who gave Deputy Sheriff Bacon
2harge of the case.

After One Is Shot.

AFTER One IS Onot.
Lynchburg, Tenn, Sept. ~2S.-Sherif Geo.
r.. Davidson, in attempting to save the
life of a negro, early this morning fired
into a mob which was assailing the Jail,

of about twenty-five people. small was
under arrest on the charge of assaulting

negro had waived examination n was
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
When the mob made the attack on the
Jail, Sheriff Davidson was alone. He
refused to give up the keys and opened
fire from u window. He wounded one
of the mob, but his identity is not
known. Two officers and several Citi-
zens rushed to the Jail but despite their
presence the mob battered down the
wooden door at the foot of the stairs
leading to the corridor. The sheriff
and posse made a stout resistance, but
were unable to prevent the mob from
breaking in the iron door at the head
of the stairs and entering the cell oC-
Cupied by the negro, about whose neck
they placed n rope. AS Soon as the men
emerged from the cell it beCaHe appar-
ent the negro could not be taken from
the Jail and hung, for fear of being fired
on. and he was shot to death.
The mob then made an effort to eS-
cape. but the sheriff and guard cap
tured three of them. They are in Jail,
and one Of them, it is said, has made a
confession duplicating thirteen men in
he affair.

case of the state Of Minnesota against

United States circuit court for this dis
trict today.
The assignment of error filed with
the petition in substance sets forth that
the court erred in every finding In the
decree which dismissed co~mplainants'
bill of complaints. 1t is claimed the
court erred in holding that the agree
ment which resulted in the formation
of the Northern Securities company
with power TO acquire a majority of
the stock of the Great Northern ard
Northern Pacific railways is lawful. and
that the Securities company vas
formed for lawful purposes; that the
court erred in holding that the Secur-
tiles company is merely an investing
~stockholder i'm stocks of the two rail-
Ways named and that 1t Is without
power to interfere in the management
or control of those roads; that the court
erred in not finding the Securities COM
pany was formed for the express pur-
pose of gaining control Of a majority of
stock of two railroads, and their man
agenent. l; Is further claimed that the
court erred in failing to decide the Sc
curities company was organized with
intent Of evading the laws of the state
which prohibit such mergers; that the
court erred in ordering that the state
was not entitled to any relief in the ac-
ton brought to dissolve the merger.
The assignment closed with a brief pc
tition asking for reversal of the judy
nent in the case.

MAY RAISE T
Railroads East and West May 5oos
Them January 1.

iIOI' Sa''oaly
Chicago, Sept. ga movement is on
foot by the railroads of the entire country
to bring about Il general advance in freight
rates, the general reason assigned being
the big increase in the wages Of all classes
of labor and in the price Of all materials
used by railroads. A similar advance was
made one year ago for the same reason,
and went into effect January l last. At
that time shippers generally protested,
and IL Is understood that the various man.
ufacturinG and industrial associations VIII
combine to prevent further advances.
The first battle between the shippers and
the railroads has been fought at Kansas
City, where the state railroad commission
has ordered the railroads to refrain from
q 80 l-3 per cent. increase in the switching
charges and from an advance in the rates
on live stock. This ruling temporarily
checked a pretty general advance in
freight rates west Of the Missouri river,
which was TO go into effect early in Sep
tembor.
The increases contemplated ranged from
q half cent TO Il cents per 100 pounds, and
one of the most important features of the
agreement among the railroads is the
abolition Of commodity rates on grocery
staples. This action, 1t Is said, Will ma
terially increase the cost of the necessi-
ties of life. The proposed advance in live
stock rates is from 1i4 to 4 cents per 100
pounds.
The Trunk Line association roads are
said to be planning for a general increase
in rates amounting TO about 10 per cent,
to become effective January l next. Rail
road officials say that with the present
prices decreases in net revenues cannot
be prevented unless freight rates are adj
vanced.

TO GIVE NORMAL FIGURE
An Exercise Training School Started
for Chicago Girls.

Chicago, Sept. 28.-Casting aside the
DEGREES of fashion, or some of them at
least, fashionable Chicago women are
seeking the normal" figure. Broad
shoulders with small hips, large hips
with narrow shoulders, and busts too
large or too small for the normal fe-
male figure are to be corrected. Bust
ness women are TO be taught how not
to get tired" for WEAKNESS is q result
Of Ignorance and unSymmetriCal figures
come about through a lack of exercise.
The cure for these unfortunate con-
ditions is to kick. If k~icking-high
kicking is the most etliCient-will not
bring about the desired result, run,
lump. box, play basketball and take the
awakening exercise. " This Is to teach
one how to keep from getting tired.
The others come under the class Of
physical development and aim at the
normal figure, not the WilloWy inquire,
or the stout figure, or the Gibson fig
ure, but the natural form of woman.
Training School Established.
The sight of so many tired looking
women. nine-tenths of whom have i'm
perfect figures, in the streets has led
TO the establishment of a school In
which the defects are to be corrected.
IT occupies quarters in Wabash ave-
nue., which are furnished with the pc
culiar appliances necessary for the sys-
TEN of instruction, and was formally
opened yesterday.
Starting in as a rival to the Chicago
Business Women's club, the chool pro-
poses to. give m not muscle, which
is sought by men, hut symmetry. In
the gymnasium are high hurdles and
low hurdles, over which they must
jump; equipments for fencing n cal
isthenicS, and lecture. rooms, where
students are TO be told why they are
given certain exercises. as well as how
TO speak and walk and act naturally.
The exercise is not all violent. A
woman who takes Il great deal or
physical exercise in her daily oCCupa-
ions will have her brain exercised,
while one who moves about very little
viii be given exercise TO the body.
WEAKNESS a Fault.
THE matter Of getting tired Is q
fault easily remedied," said Il teacher.
Have you ever noticed that many
women working with their hands will
allow their lips to move in unison with
bodies? They are working with
brains just rs hard as they are
with their hands, and this is entirely
useless"
The awakening exercise" which
of marching and running
some other things for n part, and
reading or other mental exercise, under
conditions, for the other, 1T Is
claimed, will cure fatigue.
You must jump" said one of the
instructors to n woman with small
hips. You must Jump and kick and
Then o can play basket ball
that will teach o self-reliance.
And you must not draw your corset too
The extreme straight front corset
and high-heeled shoes are frowned up

Churoh,s lower 70 Be Restored.

Los Angeles Herald: The bell tc wer
of the historic church of Our Lady of
the Angels, opposite the Plaza, is soon
to be rebuilt. The plans provide for Its
reconstruction as 1t "a in it's earliest
days. The belfry as 1t now stands is
Of wood. 1t is now dangerous to ring
the bells owing to the ruined condi-
ton of the tower. The bells were
brought to Los Angeles on the backs
Of Indians from the mother house at
San Gabriel.
The front Of the church will be -
painted in the old mission style, which
will greatly add to the architectural
beauty as we'll as the historic appear
ance of this church. A large number
of Improvements have been made dur
ing the past few months by the assist
ant pastor, the Rev. Thomas F. Fahey,
but the reconstruction Of the belfry and
other improvements contemplated by
the recently appointed pastor, the Rev.
Juan Caballeria, will greatly increase
the value OF his historical relic of the

the Harvesting Of the sun is not so very
stronge. In fact, we have had II In actual
use since the coming of man upon the
earth, My indirectly. Without the sun
there would be nothing here-no men, no
life. Coal is nothing but stored-up, bot
tied sunshine. The sunlight OF a million
years ago produced forests, which, fall
ing, were buried In the earth and
into coal, So when we put coal In the
cook stove we may truthfully say that
we are boiling the kettle with million
year-old sunshine. Similarly there would
be no waterfalls for us to chain and con-
vert into electricity, as we have chained
Niagara, If the sun did not evaporate the
water Of the sea, take it up IN clouds and
afterward empty the clouds In rain on
the mountain tops, whence the water
umblcs down again to the sea. So no
wind would blow without the sun to work

we have been using the sunlight all these
years, hardly knowing II, but not direct
