Electric Stages Proposed.

An interesting development which has resulted from the establishment of sev- eral companies which have been oper- ating the big sightseeing automobiles, which have become known as the "Rub- berneck Wagons is the plan to start several lines of electric stages In thls city with three cent fares. The men back of the plan believe that the new vehicles will ultimately dispace the sur face trolley lines. 1t Is said that the Manhattan Transit company and one of the concerns operating the sightseeing vehicles have made a deal and the plan contemplates the eventual securing of control for all electric stage lines now in the city. The promoters of the plan claim that the automobile has reached the point where 1t Is sufficiently deyel- oped to place it on the streets of New York in a practical way and they be- leve that the trolley must give way fo 1t Just as the horse car had to give way to the cable and trolley. New York has 9s5 miles of asphalt paved streets suitable for the operation of the electric auto mobile and the mileage of asphalt streets is increasing at the rate of 200 miles a year. Experiments in the use of eec- tric automobiles as a substitute for troll leys have been satisfactory In Boston and on certain streets the trolley tracks have already been torn up and the auto mobile has taken their place. Under the new plan it Is intended to operate the automobiles within certain zones. Be- tween the Battery and Harlem river there will be three zones and within any of these zones the fare will be three cents and there will be no transfers to other zones making the cost from the Battery to Harlem river nine cents.

 The newest wrinkle in the matter is t,a creation of an Italian staff or po- 1icemen. with Detective Sergeant fetro- sim at the head This Is the result or the difficulties encountered in ferreting out the work of the alleged Mafia and Black Hand societies, which have been more az eressIye than ever during the past two years All members of the police force who are Italians are to be transferred 10 the precincts in which Italians are most numerous and 1t is expected that they will be more successful than the ponee- men of other nationalitier. The better class of Italians are more anxious than anyone else to see the 1awless element of their race held In check and they will render all the assistance in their power to the police, but the police must be in a position to render in return safe ty from the lawless element which will spare no effort to revenge itself on those who are willing to aid in the enforce ment of the law. The commissioner dif- fers from the general public in beev- ing that these acts credited to the Mafia and Black Hand are done by organized bands but holds to the opinion that the recent corners were sporadic instances. The commissioner Is also disposed to make light of the charge that the ca dets' are at work on the east side and the fred light" were once more active, but In the particular districts where com plaints have been most numerous, arr arrangements have been made for the strIctest police survillance and every pre- caution will be taken.

Despite our own inventive ingenuity in the utilization of electricity the slower moving German is already far ahead of us in making this useful 'fiuid' do his farm chores. Many German estates are run entirely by electricity and the day of the autocratic hired man is apparent ly on the wane In German farming dis tricts
 In Austria, for example there is one farm of 450 acres, with dairy produc- Ing about 1000 gallons of milk a day, on which electricity pumps the water, threshes the grain, saws the wood, grinds the flour and furnishes heat and illumi- nation. There are various electrical machines to perform the different opera tions of the farm operated by batteries charged from sub-stations in the fields among them an electrical plough cut ting a furrow that varies from a few feet to twenty or more in width according to the desires of the operator.

judge not long ago in suit instituted by an English gentleman against another English gentleman who had shot his fa- vorite cat. The defendant claimed that the trespassers on his land would be prosecuted; seeing the cat wandering sus- piclously in the neighborhood of his sign he shot the animal and considered that the sign justified him in doing so. To which the court answered that if the notice entitled the defendant to shoot cats 1t would equally well entltle him to shoot men and awarded the plaintiff a new cat
 Sleeping in a life preserver hardly ap- pears at first glance the most comforta- ble way imaginable of taking an ocean journey-the most familiar types of life preserver being either a stout girdle of cork or the permanently inflated affair that looks so much like an enormous doughout Neither of these arrange ments would seem likely to induce pleas ant dreams in the mind of whoever tried the experiment of wearing it over or un- der his modest nightly.
 To meet the demand of timid travellers who like to be prepared for all possible . emergencies, however, there has been lately invented a life preserver of which the wearer can go to bed comfortably and about eight inches wide which can be blown up by means of a small cylin- der.

The Old Bullet Riddled FLAG.

Mrs. Robert Blosc, OF Perrysville,
whose maiden name was Rebecca Mitch
ell, sister OF Ex-senator James G.. Mitch
ell, the woman who raised the money,
bought and presented the old bullet
riddled and tattered flag that was con-
spicuous In the the parade of the l05th
regiment at this place last Friday, was
also present feeling proud of the part
she took in presenting the soldier boys
Of forty-three years ago with the now
tattered flag. Rebecca Mitchell was
IL years old when she took a subscrip-
tlon paper through the Perrysville
section of the country and raised $50 90
in sums from 2j cents to So 90 to buy
the flag. The flag was first presented
TO MALTA company and afterwards TO
Company A of the l05th regiment. DIR.
Shields prepared the presentation
speech which was delivered by Rebecca
Mitchell at an open air meeting In
Perrysvile. The old flag, which was
in a number of fierce battles and rid
died by the enemies bullets, is now
highly priced. Francis Groves, OF
Prescottville, carried the flag In the
parade Thursday and keeps it. Mrs.
| Blose, now a soldiers widow, would de-
light to have the old flag In her pos.
session again, and who can gainsay the
statement that she is entitled to the old
| flag.
