plished fact last week, and made so
in such phenomenal manner, will, [
believe, render interesting a partial
account Of the cause and circumstan-
ces of the beginning and building of
this line The origin of the project
must be IN the action of the city
council Five years ago this city,
the prettiest and wealthiest per capt.

from brooms to pianos, was in the
grasp Of a monopoly; the railroads
branching out in six different di-
rections all under Pennsylvania CON
troll. and trains run In such way
that it was extremely difficult to get
in or out from lack of connections
with other lines, while some sections
were actually inaccessible to Us ALL
To remedy this situation action was
taken by the people and the council.
A committee was appointed to secure
the building of more roads, either

line from Richmond to Cincinnati.
Accordingly the city engineer, Mr..

making the surveys and plans, TAX

been accomplished The machine is
made at Scranton, Pa, and weighs
fifty tons. It is the only one, and its
inventor, Mr.. Hurley, goes with it.
The work done on the c., c. & L.
demonstrated that with forty men
the machine can lay from two and
one-half to three miles of track per

speed that the train moves, or its
speed can be doubled. 1t handles

The Miami river is crossed by six
spans Of steel and many feet of
wooden trestle approach. We glide

Jim Blakely, the clown, came dash
ing out of the ring into the dressing
tent and stopped short. Nellie Cos
grove was sitting on top of tie leapins
pad, her usually merry eyes streaming
with tears. Beside her stood a man
looking exceedingly awkward ana UNI
comfortable.
Circus folk are always ~rcsentful of
the intrusion of the outside world into
their domain, and the fact that this
stranger wore 4 frock coat and an ex-
ceedingly shiny silk hat was all that
was needed to convince Jim that he
was the cause of Nellie's fearful eyes
He strobe up wrathfully, his painted
face in ludicrous contrast to the in
tense tones of his voice.
See here,' he said iercely. "this

of all for a bloomin' dude what comes
In and insults one of our girls. If you

"Pint Judy Pint"

Point judith, Rhode Island, is known
to the natives of that neighborhood as
"Pint Judy Pint" Once upon a time,
the story goes, an old sea captain of
Nantucket OF Whereabouts took his wife
with him upon 4 voyage along the
coast, and. being enveloped in a fog. he
made her lookout. After awhile the
woman piped out, "I.and!' "Whar
away" beloved her lord. "NNhy, right
over there, Just the other side Of all
those ropes she answered eXcitedly.
''Totl!er side O tiddlesticks!!' roared
the captain. Cant you tell me in
straight talk whar away?' Now it hap
pened that the captains wife was un-
acquainted with nautical terms, and
while she could do many useful things
she could no more have boxed the com
pass than she could have flown. SO the
captain shouted to her, pint. Judy,
pint!!' Then Judy 'pinted," and the
shore she had discovered and indicated
was ever afterward known as Pint
Jldy Pint.

Poison For Cholera Victims.

Some years ago l found myself in
the city of Buenos Ayres at a time
when the cholera Was raging in that
capital," said a traveller.
1T happened that dis | walked along
a public t~horonghtare ole day while
the plague WIS at its height [ saw a
man fall to the ground. and | SUI
missed that he had been stricken with
the dread disease. Before reaching
him | noticed a policeman approach
the unfortunate and administer q
drink t. him from a bottle which L
had no doubt contained Il restorative
or some kind of medicine. At the
same time the policeman blew his
whistle for an ambulance.
THE vehicle came Very quickly, and
yet before it arrived the man was
dead, and it was Il corpse that was
removed. l remarked to tile officer
that the medicine had been of no avail.
Certainly not. senor,' he answered.; it
was not medicine | gave him, but Il
deadly poison. That is the way we
have to do now to check the spread of
the cholera. Besides, the nan would
soon have died anyway.
81 never experienced Il deeper feeling
of horror in my life and looked ON the
policeman i'll the light of a murderer.
Yet he doubtless regarded What he had
done rs in the nature of a disagree
able necessity, and, politely bidding
me adios, went his w~ay."-Washington
