THE FIRST NIGHT TRAIN.
1t Was Run Out of Cumberland by
Henry G. Davis.


Henry Gassaway Davis found his
first advancement when he secured the
coveted position of brakeman on a
freight train Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, says Leslie's Weekly.
1t was not long before he was ad-
vanced to the more responsible posi-
ton of freight conductor, responsible
in these days, but far more so relative
ly in those. At twenty-four he was
again promoted, this time to the posi-
ton of superintendent in charge of the
running of all the trains.
He introduced an innovation which
marked a decided advance step in rail
reading. Up to that time it had not
been considered practicable to run
trains at night When nightfall came
freight trains and passenger trains
alike were "tied up" their Journeys to
be resumed only when daylight came.
Davis held that there was no good rea-
son why they should not be run by
night as well as by day and proved it.
His first night train from Cumberland
to Baltimore marked an important
epoch in railr0ading.

The italian ambassador at Washing
ton advises the immigrants from his
country to the United States not to set
tie in New York and other large cities
where there are already far too many
Of them, but rather that they should
go to the farms, especially to the farms
Of the south. He says that practically
all of these immigrants ''are agricul
turists by training and instinct" Al
their natural calling they would make
valuable citizens, but crowded into the
tenement districts of the great cities
they become unhappy and constitute a
serious social problem and even men
ace. Some benevolent society should
be organized to take charge of these
people Immediately upon landing and
urge them to go to the farms.

GRASS HIS DAILY MEAL
Eusebio Santos Says He Finds
1t Good to Live On.
THE PARKS SUPPLY HIS FOOD.
Declares the Diet Has Cured Him of
Several Ailments - He Has Eaten
Nothing Else For Months other
Foods Do Not Tempt Him-WiIl Eat
Nothing but Grass.

That a person can live on grass and
cold water and be well and hearty
seems to have been proved by Eusebio
Santos Of Brooklyn, says the New
York World. For more than six
months Santos has been living on this
diet, and he says he is steadily gaining
flesh. Santos friends say he has re-
fused all tempting dishes set before
him in that time.
Before taking to the grass and wa
ter diet Santos was a nervous wreck,
he says, and that now he is as healthy
as any one. He eats three or four
meals day, two quarts Of grass be
ing his usual allowance at each meal.
Santos is twenty-five years old. He
weighs about 140 pounds. He was
born in Laredo, Spain, and for many
years lived in Cuba. Prior to coming
to the United States, several months
ago, he was employed in Havana as
clerk. He speaks several languages.
He has been getting his supply Of
grass from Sunset park, South Brook.
Ign, and from Prospect park. He is
rather particular about the kind he
gets. He says some grass is bitter,
some salty, some sour, some peppery
and some sweet. The sweet grass, he
says, is very nourishing and leaves a
pleasant taste in the mouth, SO he pre-
fers it. Santos is fond of flowers of all
kinds, and for relish he at times adds
them to his grass diet.
Santos began eating grass about q
year and half ago, in Cuba. He was
then troubled with severe headache
and other disorders and it was impos-
sible, he says, for him to sleep. He
consulted physician, who advised
him to starve himself and at times to
chew a little grass. Santos says he
followed this advice and soon cultiyat-
ed the taste for 1t. He ate it with
sweet potatoes at first, then gave up
potatoes.
Santos gathers his food in the morn
ing. He uses no knife or scissors, but
has trick of breaking it off with his

Uncle" William Shaver aged nine
ty years, was one of the force of spe-
cial police who served at the county
fair recently held at Chatham, n. Y.
He was a conspicuous figure with his
red badge bearing the word police"
He kept careful watch for pickpock-
cts and other lawbreakers, but the
crowd was an orderly one, and the
bulk of his duties consisted in making
passageways through crowded aisles
in the buildings or preventing teams
from being driven on forbidden
ground. He worked during all four
days of the exhibition and with great
er agility than some men his juniors.

jap Picture Cards of the War.

The picture post card is a never fall
ing source of delight TO many thou
sands, though it adds another terror to
travel if the traveller have many col
lectors on his list of friends. But great
interest will be created even among
those who have not yet succumbed to
the mania by the announcement in a
japanese paper that the authorities of
the empire intend to issue pictorial
post cards las souvenirs of the war"
The intimation is added that the
cards will be first distributed among
the officers and men at the front, and
the remainder, if any, will be sold TO
the public"

One Woman Who Can Aim Straight,


In the near future marksmen in
some parts of the United States will
probably find themselves opposed on
the shooting range to one of the clev-
crest rifle shots in England, Miss Flor
ence Lewes, the young woman whose
exploits at the annual shooting COM
petition this year have attracted wide
attention all over the world. Miss
Lewes, who IL grandniece of George

long ago because she intends to emf

CONTEST FOR MANcHURIA.
Russia's Real Purpose to Maintain
White Supremacy There.

PARIS, January 22.-Information reach
ing the foreign office during the last TWEEN
ty-four hours shows a definite Improvement
in the Russo Japanese situation. The an
swer of Russia has not yet been sent, but
1t will be dispatched within the next two
days.
The question of the limitation Of Japa-
nese settlements in Manchuria has been
one of the most difficult under considera-
ton. The Russian view, as made known
here, is that the real issue is the mainte-
nance of white supremacy in northern
Asia.
The situation is compared with that OF
California during the Chinese invasion,
compelling the United States to exclude the
Chinese.
Owing to the importance attached to this
branch Of the controversy the Russian on-
Gals have taken steps to secure copy or
the British laws restricting Mongolians
from entering Australia.
1t is maintained that Russia's insistence
that reasonable limits be placed on the
esta blishment of Japanese settlements in
can and British laws in protecting the COM
merce and labor of whites from the Mon
gols.
1t appears that Russia Is chiefly appre-
hensive of the springing up of large Japa-
Eese settlements and villages along the
lines of the Russian railroads and other Gen.
tiers of Russian improvement and develop
ment, as it is held that such a japanese in
fux will practically nul1ify RusSia's privi-
legged position in Manchuria, which Japan
has been wiling to recognize.

Thirty Persons Reported Killed and
Many Injured.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, January g. 3
p.m.-Tornadoes played havoc at several
places in northern Alabama today, result
ing. as far as known, in the death Of thirty
people and injury to many more. The
storm center was at and around Mound
Vile. a small town in the northern portion
of Hale county, where heavy loss of life
and great destruction Of property are re-
ported.
Because of the fact that the wires south
of Tuscaloosa, which is sixteen miles north
Of Moundville. were FRUSTRATED, details Of
the disaster are meager. Reports received
at Tuscaloosa up to noon indicated that no
less than thirty people were killed at
Moundville and many more injured.
The storm swept all of the northern por-
lions of Hale county and destroyed many
farms. 1t is feared that fuller reports will
show an increased loss of life. The fol-
lowing names of dead at Moundville have
been aScertained:
A. III. Warren, Montgomery, Ala, travel
ing salesman for Birmingham house,
killed by the destruction of the Moundville
Hotel.
J. H. Redmond of Dayton. Tenn, gen
era1 supervisor of water tanks for the
Alabama Great Southern railway.
Night Telegraph Operator Seymour at
the Moundville station.
Robert Powers.
The body of a small boy. whose name has
not yet been learned, has also been shipped
from Moundville to Tuscaloosa with the
others named.
A negro section hand, who went from
Moundville to Tuscaloosa on hand car,
reports that the entire country around
Moundville is devastated, and that dead
bodies are to be seen all sides.
Every doctor in Tuscaloosa has gone to
the scene and relief trains from Blrming
ham were on their way to Moundville as
soon as news Of the storm reached here.
AS denoting the force OF the tornado it is
stated that an entire freight train was
blown from the track A heavy wind pre-
fell in torrents.

ed to this. saying 1t was improper to make
such demand of the witness.
The court held that the request for the
papers should be made of the United States

The cross-examination of Mr.. Chew was
very brief and unimportant. and he gave
way to Clarence II. Buckler of the finance
division, Office of the third assistant post

The manner of handling the warrants

that the warrants In payment for sup
plies ordered by the rural free delivery
bureau. after being drawn and signed
are sent to the rural free delivery bureau
for recording and mailing. This ended
