Judge Lewis. the defeated candidate
for governor of Virginia on the Re.
publican ticket says that he "can give
no intelligent reason why he was de,
feated."
Judge Lewis might venture the re,
mark that Lilywhiteism is not the
mascot he supposed it was. Speaking
of his election, the Post says: The
Republicans lost probably 300 votes
because most of the Afro-Americans
disgruntled by the attitude of the
Lilly White" wing toward them, did
not go to the polls. They, practically
bolted the party. The party set the
example of boiling and we are glad
that the Afro-Americans followed the
example.

Painted Paper for Steel.

As a result of ten years experiment
ing on the durability of paints, an
eastern railroad has o introduced a
system of protecting smooth steel sur
faces in its stations with painted pa
per. OF all the paints tried, none was
found that could be relied upon to
protect a clean steel surface more than
eight months under the extremely Sc
we're conditions of the test. Under the
new system the metal is cleaned in
the ordinary way and then coated
witt a single coat of . sticky
substance. Parafined paper is next
nasted over this. and finally painted
any color desired. Holes are cut in
she paper for the rivet heads to pass
through, the heads being then COW
cred with caps of parafined paper.
The cost is but little more than that
for applying two coats of litharge in
boiled linseed oil directly to the metal,
since the work is all done at one set
ting of the scafolding, and the result
appears to be permanent while the
painting bars scale off under the con-
ditions of the test in a few MONTHS

REFRESHING TIE EAST.
Great Railroad Corporations Planting
Many Miles of Trees for
CroSs-TieS.

Through the self-interest of the great
railroad corporations the reforesting of
the eastern states has begun. The
Pennsylvania railroad this spring will
plant 1000 acres with seedlings to fur
nish timber for it's crossties. The plant
ing will continue annually al this rate
until 100 square miles are planted for
this purpose, states the New York
World.
The annual number of ties used on
the Pennsylvania lines east of Pitts
burg and Erie is $500, 600. The cost Of
these ties has so increased that the
company finds it cheaper to buy land
and raise it's own ties.
In the west several railroads have
adopted a similar policy OF raising
their own timber, and the farmers
plant catalpa, locust, cedar and chest
nut to raise their own fence posts.
If the paper companies, the furni-
ture, match. toothpick, cooperage and
other corporations requiring special
kinds of timber. awake to the sagacity
and business policy of raising their
own raw material, Z great deal will be
done in the work of practical reforesta-
ton.

BRAND NEW POKER STORY
Players Were Wealthy But They
Had to Anchor Their "Anties"
for Safety.

On a train coming into Topeka the
other day were four railroad contrac-
tors. In order to better pass away the
time, a game of poker, with a small linn
it, was agreed upon, relates the Kansas
City Star. No one in the party had
chips, so matches were used. Every
thing was a jackpot, each man anteing
a match, which represented a quarter.
Almost from the start there was a dis
agreement as to who was shy in the
pot.
"A" was sure that he had put up, and
pointed to a match in the center to
clinch the matter.
"B" insisted that he had left up when
he won the last pot.
&c" said that his money was there,
and referred tt "B," who, he said, had
seen him deposit his match in the cen
ter.
"B" remarked that he didn't know
anything about what anyone else had
done, and added: All | know is that
l am up" f
Cd" remembered distinctly that he
was the first mar in, and said that he
was willing to leave it to a stranger who
was watching the game.
There was no question that everyone
thought he "a telling the truth, and
yet time and time again there were only
three matches in the pot when there
should have been four. Finally "a
called the porter.
Bring me a piece of cotton string"
he said, about four or five feet long
The porter did as requested. The player
tied one end of the string to a match
and loOped the other around his neck.
The anchored match he threw into the
next pot that came along.
Now he said, well see whether
am shy again"
Fine, fine, fine" remarked the other
players in unison. In a few seconds
there were four matches in each pot.
each tied to a cotton Irvine.
Every time a man would win a pot a
substitute match was thrown in to lake
the place of the one that was anchored.
1T takes a little time and some ex-
ertion,H said ID" but it's worth it."
1t is estimated that the combined
wealth of the four contractors is about
81, 500, 900 dollars.

Tall Baseball Story Told So Many
Times M~Nylanders Be-
lieve It.

In the baseball annals of Texas. Bal
tlmore county, is an incident which,
whether an actual occurrence or not.
has been repeated so often that it is
invested with the force of fact. says
the Baltimore Sun.
On a hot Fourth OF July. back in the
eighties, when the catcher held his
position behind the bat without mask,
and the pitcher knew of 10 curve or
toe plate, there was a game of ball
between the Texas Sluggers and the
TimOnium Little Potatoes, But Hard to
Peel.
The SIuggers had got in some good
stick work early in the game, and the
visitors were just feeling the big Tex
ans pitcher. 1t was the fifth inning
and the Little Potatoes had two men
on bases. n on second and the other
on first, when one of their home-run
hitters, who had been asleep up until
the moment. struck the ball.
1t cleared the entire field, and would
have fallen on the railroad track, but
Just at that moment a train came along
and the ball disappeared in the smoke
stack of the engine.
The train was going at a lively speed
up grade, and the force of the puffs
elected the ball. The momentum of the
train carried it until it fell in the third
baseman's hands, and a double play
was the result.
flor much EjoEinp from the Little
Potatoes as to whether the play was
fair, the side was retired. as the double
play made three hands out.

New Westinghouse Invention Which
lessons Danger in Railway
Collisions.

Following SO closely the Harrisburg
disaster, which resulted from too
abrupt a stoppage of a freight train,
causing 1t to buckle" Mr.. Westing-
houses practical demonstration TO a
party Of the railway congress delegates
of his new friction draft gear is at
tracing general attention, says the
Washington Star. In order to show
the possibilities of the device, a train
of several cars, equipped with it, was
broken in two, and the locomotive end
was sent a long distance up the track
for a flying start back. The train
parts collided with great force, but the
new gear absorbed so much of the
shock that there was only a momen-
tary check, after which the whole train
moved on at a reducing speed. The
cars did not jump or buckle. AS nearly
as possible the collision was managed
under service conditions.
If it is possible thus to absorb the
collision blow by means of the coupling
gear, a large percentage of danger will
be removed. Many of the major Incl
dents on our railroads are caused By
what are known as minor accidents
A train is slightly disabled through
the breaking of some part, or the
jumping of a rail. Another train APP
preaching from behind runs into the
stalled cars and a costly disaster re-
suits. Or, as in the Harrisburg case,
cars are thrust out of their own line
upon that of another train, OF en- ad-
jacent track, and a major collision oc-
Iscurs.
The perfection of a gear that will re-
duce the chances Of buckling or track
jumping or coupling breaking will nee
esSarily. lessen the percentage of melt
ace to other trains. But the solution
of the railroad disaster problem docs
not lie here. 1t must be found in some
reliable automatic device that will ste
the locomotive when it enters a pre-
hibited block, one already occupied by
another train. Experience proves thst
the engineer is not an invariably safe
reliance, that the block signal system
is good only so far as it guides the man
III Tic eau. IL uS 10 lAdLICull'C, ~
reckless, the signal system is worth
less.
There was shown at the railway ap-
pliance exposition in this city a device
for the automatic stopping of a train.
1t was based upon a series of electric
contacts which worked the throttle and
the air-brake lever Of the locomotive
and SO shut off the steam and stopped
the train. 1t looked in the form of 4
working model to be a promising bid
der for the purpose of preventing rear
end collisions on dOuble-track roads,
and head-on collisions on single track
lines. But there is a wide difference
between a device that works we'll in
the model and one hat will stand the
vibration. wear and tear and weather
exposure TO which a working part of a
railroad is subjected.
Railroad owners are conservative
about adopting new appliances, espc~
cially if they are of a delicate nature,
They dislike to break into their sys~
TENS with experimental stretches OF
track schemes, and they hesitate TO
spend large sums in complete installa-
tons as long as the practical avlue Of
an appliance is yet to be perfectly DEM
CnStrated.
