TRACKLESS
RAILWAY IN
PRUSSIA

A trackless railway is being erected
by the community Of MANNHEIM,
which will be the first Of its kind d,

to Langenfeld and will be about two
and a half miles Ions. with two short
branches intended for freighting DUR
poses.
The main line will serve for the
transportation of persons. baggage.
mail and freight. An extension is pos
sible at both ends. The roadway from,
Mannheim to Langenfeld is twenty
three feet wide, with a good basaItic
cover about fifteen feet in width, run
ming almost in an air line, with the
exception Of a few curves. A special
Continuance for coupling is provided tn
order to keep the cars exactly in line;
this takes the place of wheel fanges
in ordinary rail trains. The buildings
to be erected for the use Of the rail-
way are a pOwerhouse, carbarns, re-
pair shop and Offices. For the run
ming Of the railway a current Of about
$50 volts will be furnished. The power
will be conducted to and from the
cars. which are provided with electric
motors, by means Of two revolvabls
poles, placed on the tops Of the cars.
and sliding blocks enabling the train
to move sideways from ten to twelve
feet.
The wiring will consist OF two hard
copper wires, with hard rubber In
sulators, carried by iron poles about
eighteen feet above the middle OF the
road. For entering faTmyards lying
close to the road there will be used
instead of the regular wire a con-
hector and flexible cable fifty TO
seventy feet in length, by means OF
which the current will be transmitted
to the motor car. Ordinary electric
cars have but one pole and the second
pole of these railless cars serves for
conducting back the current, which Is

He Got Up.


A travelling man once put up for
the night at the leading hotel in a
small town, and before retiring left
very particular instructions to be
called in time for an early train.
Early in the morning the guest was
disturbed by lively tattoo upon the
door.
'Well?" he demanded, sleepy.
I've got an important message for
you," replied the bellboy.
The guest was up in an instant,
opened the door and received from the
boy large envelope. He tore it open
hastily and inside found a slip of pa
per on which was written in large
letters: why don't you get up?" He
got up.-Rochester Herald.

DAINTY TABLECLOTHs.

Tablecloths de luxe are now favored
for set dinners. Their centers are
composed of lace or drawn thread in
sertions and embroideries. This is
decorative alone, but to make it more
so a piece of gold or silver gauze is
frequently LAID on the table under the
lace insertion, through which the
gauze CLEANS with dainty effect.
Silver table decorations go with the
silver gauze; gold gauze is preferable
when the flower vases are of crystal or
colored glass and when the dinner
service has much gliding upon it.

SISTER INSISTS PRISONER
is REALLY NINE DEVERE.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Alice M
York of this city has reiterated her state
ment that she Is the sister of Mrs. Chad
wick, despite the latters reputation Of
relationship. She said:
My sister, Elizabeth Bigley, now Mrs.
Chadwick. was born near London, Canada
about forty-two years ago. Her girlhood
days were spent at Eastwood and Wood
stock, which was the home of our family.
She was not great reader. and as for
having read books on mesmerism and the
like, that is all nonsense.
When I was married and went to live
in Cleveland, she came to live with me-
That was in 1881.
There was nothing peculiar about her
as girl. save that she was a deep think
er. She always seemed absorbed in
thought. and would sit in silence by the
hour. She seemed in trance, and never
would pay attention to anyone. She would
come out Of these thinking spells as If
bewildered. She would never discuss her
strange actions. nor the many scrapes
into which she got.
She never. by word or act, indicated
that she was possessed of any hypnotic
power. At the time in Toledo when she
was convicted of forgery. under. the name
man named Joseph Lamb, an express
agent. who was arrested with her. The
papers were full of it at the time, and
all the talk was hypnotism. The hyp-
notism talk. I repeat, was nonsense.
''It seems to me that my sister had a
mania for Doing just such things that
have now involved her in this trouble.
She did not need money. as she had plenty
Of it. In speech she talks slowly and
lisps slightly. She is quite deaf. She was
always extravagant.
AFTER that affair in Toledo. when she
was released from prison. she came to
live with me at my home on Franklin
avenue. She was then the widow of C. L.
Hoover. who left her considerable money
Il am sorry that she has been unable
to secure bonds. and hope she will get
out of this trouble"
Mrs. York added that she would not go
East unless suhpoenaed.

New York. Dec. 9.--After day OF dis
agreements with her counsel as to wheth-
er she should waive examination and so to
ed to remain arother night in the Tombs,
but expressed the hope that she might
leave tomorrow.
Mrs. Chadwick had made up her mind
to ignore the advice of her local counsel.
Messrs Carpenter and Powers. and go to
Cleveland to stand trial. wheh late in the
afternoon she received a telegram from
her Cleveland counsel. Judge AIbaugh.
asking her not to return to Cleveland just
yet. THIS telegram caused her to remain
over night.
In regard to what would be done to-
morrow. Mr. Carpenter was noncom-
initial. He refused TO talk of the situation
at all.
Mrs. Chadwick spent the greater part
OF the time from o'clock this morning
until this afternoon in the corridor in
front Of her cell. Here she talked with
her lawyers and others who caried to see
her. including her son. Emil. and her
nurse, Freda Most of her visitors re-
manned with her as long as the prison
rules would permit
an attendant about o'clock To the
matron Mrs; Chadwick said:
i am glad l am not going to Cleveland
tonight l am tired enough to sleep well
l think. even behind these awful bars II
has been an extremely trying day, and ]
am thankful that it is over. / do not care
to go through many more such ordealS>"
In her cell Mrs. Chadwick ate a hearty
supper. She had chopped beef, sprinkled
with grated onions, coffee and oranges.
The matron said Mrs. Chadwick showed
a marked improvement over her condition
in the morning.
After eating Mrs. Chadwick lay on he,
cot and said it WAS the first peaceful mo-
ment she had had since her troubles In
New York began.
