TRAGEDY OF THE QUICK LUNCH.

Who can write the life tragedies
that may be traced to the "bolting' of
Iuncheons at quick lunch counters?
asks Success. Yet it would seem that
even a quick lunch is becoming too
slow for us. Recently l saw a sign
in the windows and over the door of
a New York restaurant announcing
The Quicker Lunch" The quickest
lunch will probably soon follow. In
not take time even to go to lunch
counter They have luncheon brought
to their offices, where they talk bust
ness while they dine.
Has life become SO rapid that man
cannot take time to eat? 1t is possible
that he can allow himself only ten
minutes for luncheon; and that, even
while eating, he cannot take time to
smile or to turn off the steam, but
must keep the throttle valve Of his
thinking machine wide Open-pan-
ming, planning, thinking, thinking:
We have become mad in the matter
of dollar chasing. Not long. ago |
heard a business man say that his
partner. who had recently married.
took his wedding trip on an elevator
in a New York sky-scraper." 1t was
the only time he felt he could take to
celebrate such minor affair as his
marriage.
A man cannot be normal and cannot
reach his best While living at such
Nigh rate of speed. We Americans cam
not, under existing conditions attain
hat exquisite poise of character. that
mental balance, and that harmonious
bearing which should distinguish a
great people of a highly civilized race.

RECORD OF COURTS.

There was practically nothing going on at the court house yesterday, only one case of importance being filed. In the city court a suit was filed by R. U. Mcclure against the Southern railway for $30.000 damages. The suit was the result of the death of c. H. Mcclure, a switchman who was run over and killed in the yards of the Southern railway in this city some months ago. The complainant alleges that the accident was the result Of the carelesness and negligence of an employe of the said railroad who was running the engine.
 In the circuit court several small judg- ments were rendered as follows:
 w. G. Terry was given a judgment against the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for SS2. This suit was caused by the killing of COW.
 The Beggs Pipe and Foundry company was given a judgment against Lockwood & Go. for $54S2.

RACERS CANNOT USE WIND SHIELDS Lou DiIIon's Cleveland Record
 is DisaIIowed BALL BEARING SULKY USED Performance of Maud s. Is Discussed and Conclusion Reached That
 She Set Record Ac-
 cordlng to Rules.
BALL BEARING SULKY USED

New York, January 7.-The joint com mttee of the National Trotting associa- tion decided today to disallow Lou Dill Ions record of 2:07 to high-wheeled, ball-bearing sulky. made at Cleveland September 12 last. This decision was reached after a two hours discussion by the committee. which was composed of the presidents of the National Trotting association, the American Trotting asso- citation, and the American Trotting Regis ter association. The findings follow:
 We find that the performance of Lou Dillon at Cleveland in 2:05 to a high wheeled. ball-bearing sulky with pace maker with dirt shield infront was not a record.
 We also find that the performance of Maud S. at Cleveland in 1885 was to a high-wheeed, plain axle, according to rules; that the time. 2:0sss. was not only her best time, but the best time ever made up to that date, and was a record"
 In regard to the use of wind shields, the committees finding Is as follows:
 No record can be made with wind shield' other than the ordinary shield and pacemaker in front.
 "A performance with a pacemaker in front with dirt shield shall be recorded with a distinguishing mark, referring to note stating the facts
 Major P. P Johnston of Lexington, be- leves that various records of horses made the past season with the assistance of wind shields will be thrown out. Such horses as Major Delmar ana Prince Alert are included in this category.

WANT INcoMBusTIeLE THEATRE.
coquelins and Binet Will Make Scenery
 Secondary Matter

Paris, January 1.-The burning of the Iroquois theatre at Chicago has given an impetus to the project of the two Co., auelins and the Architect Binet for an incombustible theatre. The main feature is the complete subordination of scenery and decorations to the questions of safety. Nothing inf1ammable will be used thus making the projected theatre artistic but absolutely non-combustible.
