The Engineering News is saying. as one that speaks with authority. what has been said in many instances by the general press on the subject of fast trains. It sees nothing to con- mend in them. even on the great trunk lines, but it points out that these roads are better fitted for the high speed than many other roads are for a low lower speed. and it emphasizes the point that what American railroads need is not faster time. but fewer ac- cldents. and that the money spent in expediting trains should be spent in making the roads safer. II says: ''The great defect of American rail roading today is not low speeds It is too frequent accidents. Most Amer ican railway trains are run at quite as high speed as the existing track. roll ing stock and signal systems justify IF money Is to he spent for improved service. let it be in making travel safer. So far as increased speed is the travelling public. as a whole. will gain much more by greater and regularity of train and close adherence to time tables than if will by spectacular fests of fast running by special trains

CURE FOR YELLOW FEVER.

During the yellow fever epidemic at
 New Orleans in 1878 German medi- 1 cal student braved the terrors of the plague to secure the advantage of eX- perience. Doctors were few and his services were gladly accepted. He had ideas, and many were his experiments. Treating Hollander at the hospital, Dr Hans decided that his patient was about to die, so he prescribed as last solace to the expiring man huge plate of sauerkraut. He watched the sick man devour the delicacy so dear to the palate of our friends across the sea. To Hans's unbuunded amaze. ment, on his next inspection he found the HOllander sitting up in bed read ing newspaper, well on the road to recovery. Jerkingoforth his note book he jotted down: R. Sauerkraut will cure Dutchman of yellow fever" Proceeding to another ward he found another plate of sauerkraut, he bade the patient eat it. and live-but speed fly the Spaniard died Reaching for his note book, Hans added to the pre- scription, but will kill Spaniard.
 One of the three doctors who were prominent in treating hundreds of vel low fever patients at Jacksonville, Fla. during that city's last visitation of the scourge. remarked afterward, when asked for his favorite prescrip- tion, Roll the patient in hot blank cts. Sweat it out of him. If that fails. take him out to the sand hills hospital and administer with the ham, mer one hard blow upon the temple. That is both effective and humane ''- Los Angeles Express.

 Bites Prove Serious.

Bites Prove Serious.
 A plague of mosquitoes is wide spread in London. A few years ago they were almost unknown, or made their appearance titfully in the neigh 1 borhood of the docks and Fleet street, coming, it was supposed. among the rolls of paper. This summer they are and in many places have given consid- erable work to the medical practition- CTS and to the hospitals. ,..
 They are extremely plentiful along the line of docks. The lower part of the Thames valley seems full of them, and a suggestion is made that those brought from abroad on ships have found congenial breeding place in the low lying marshy ground on the Essex shore At the Poplar hospital yesterday it was stated that they had many cases there every day. men. wo- men and children being alike victims. There have been for years past many patients treated at thiso hospital for mosquito bites. but this-summer they are more numerous than ever.
 The dry. hot weather has favored the insects. or made them. so to speak, strong on the wing. They are now wandering far from their breeding places. and not suburb is free from them. The west end has suffered but little from the plague, but they have made their appearance in force in the western. southern and northern suburbs. Their clear. ringing buzz, unlike that of any other insect. is heard nightly and hundreds of people are suffering seriously from their punctures.
 One doctor in Bowes Park has treat cd as many as forty cases within the week. The bites have serious effects. They are succeeded by cellulitis and the part becomes swollen and indurat- ed. in some instances accompanied with septic rash over the joints. In other instances vertigo has occurred, with an intense feeling of depression. Ladies wearing the fashionable open work blouses are very liable to he bit ten by the insects. as are children.- London Daily Mail.

 The Rev George w. Brownback, of Reading, Pa, who won notoriety few years ago by travelling about the coun- try visiting women who had answered his advertisement for wife, and was in the vicinity of Hartford few days on his tour of inspection, is again in the limelight. According to a Reading dispatch he announces that hereafter he will accept no fees for tying marriage knots and that no couple need be afraid to apply to him to be made man and wife. In order that no couple shall feel ashamed Of the fact that they have no money with which to pay the minister. Mir Brown back has decided to include all couples in his offer, and whether they be rich or poor he will not accept any fee. In telling of his action the min ister said:
 Too few persons are getting mar ried these days. One of the hindrances 1 believe, is the expense of having the knot tied. I am willing to make any loving couple happy for nothing, and in order to place everyone on an equal basis I have decided that under no circumstances will I accept mar riage fee hereafter Many persons condemn old couples for getting mar ried, but l am not one of them. My offer applies to old persons as well as young ones. and I believe that men and women are never too old to we'd"

ABOUT every so often the train
crews get careless and begin to block
the crossings. Then the police have
to give the conductors lesson and
one or two of them are taken into the
Justice court and fined. This always
has the desired effect, for the word
goes out to all the train crews on the
division to "look out for Kenosha"
and no more crossings are blocked
here again until the lesson is forgot
ten. Just at present the police are
having one of their regular tuss1es
with the trainmen, but after they
have fined one or two conductors there
will be no more complaints of blocked
crossings for while.

Water Commissioners Seek a Site for
the Erection of the New Standpipe
At the regular meeting of the water
commissioners held at the Office of the
superintendent at the city hall Tues
day night steps we're taken to secure
a lot which is to be used as site for
the proposed standpipe to be erected
in connection with TIE present
municipal water system. The board
has selected lot on Ridge street now
owned by the Northwestern Railway
company as the best site for the stand
pipe and if this property can be Sc
cured at reasonable price it will be
taken over at once. Letters have
been sent to the officials of the rail-
way company with view of purchas-
ing the property, but up to this time
no satisfactory reply has been re-
ceived.
It was the original plan of the COM
missioners to put up the standpipe
this summer but it is now probable
that the work will be left over until
next year.

CUT OFF $4,000
Finance Committee of City Council Fail
to See Chance for New School

The committee on finance of the
city council has filed report with the
city clerk touching on the recent de-
nland made upon the council by the
board of education. The report re-
commends that the sum of $31, 500 be
appropriated for the schools for the
next year and that the SIS, 900 asked
for new school building be laid over
until some future time. The members
of the committee urge that at present
the city has debt of $4,000 for the
Durkee school, a portion of which
must be liquidated this year, and if
the amount now asked by the board is
granted the levy will have to be alb
normally large in order to provide the
funds. The matter will be taken up
with the board of education, and it is
probable that the request for the funds
for the new building will be with
drawn for the present, to be presented
to the council again next year.
