opposed to the other, may be drawn.
The puzzle is presented In this wise:
Betty Singleton, discovering that her
husband, the Duke of Malmsbury,
really loves another. leaves his home
and the auditor discovers her two years
later hiding In an old lodging house.
Betty is looked after by an old man
whose sympathies she has aroused. She
is now in a weak state, and the old
man has come to think, somehow, that
she has lost her mind. When she talks
about being a duchess, the old gentle
man wrings his hands and cries: Poor
thing. she thinks now she is duchess
Betty has told her old friend that she
is Kitty Brown; but when she mad
vertently mentions the name OF Betty
Singleton. he discovers her real identity,
and without letting her know. runs to
the dukes house to inform him of his
wife's whereabouts.
Betty has that day sent for the man
ager of the little theater In the city.
and so when the old man returns with
the duke she does not recognize her
husband. but thinks him, in the dark
and gloom OF her room. to be the man
ager for whom she has been waiting.
She enacts little scenes from some of
the great plays in which she has ap
peared, and as the old man has told
the duke that his wife is out of her
head. he naturally comes to the same
conclusion. Yet. when the duke, over
come by emotion, cries out to his wife,
she at once recognizes him and falls
into his arms. Curtain.
From this condition of affairs there
seems to be no more reason to think
that Betty really was demented than
was mylord Hamlet. A late copy of the
Hartford Post. just at hand, says that
THE New Haven Palladium's critic is
of the opinion that Betty became crazy
in the last act and stayed so. He likes
her crazy" And so the vexed question
goes merrily on. The Bridgeport
Farmer critic lately entered the list and
said: I'VE are all crazy over Viola
Allen. and we are all about crazy puz-
zling out the last act. Mr.. Fitch would
confer a benefit upon the public by is
suing a correct report of what is sup
posed to occur at the dramatic finale.
Then we can all stop worrying about

The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure OF S225,OOO for the
installation OF the most modern and ell
iiclent railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. The line between Bergen,
n. j., and Middletown, a distance OF Is
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 81 miles, the signals will be put
two-thirds of a mile apart; for the rest
OF the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. 1t will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will he located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood Junction, Sufiern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
| and is the most congested part Of the Erie
| System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is q tower with signals operated by a
towerman, has been used as block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install an automatic system for further
protection, and to. accelerate the move

extended over the entire line in the future.

Equal Rights for All.
The question of securing a healthy,
self-respecting and mutually sympathetic
attitude as between employer and en-
ploye, capitalist and wage worker, is a
difficult one. All phases of the labor
problem prove difficult when approached
But the underlying principles, the root
principles, in accordance with which the
problem must be solved are entirely SIM
pie. We can get justice and right dealing
only If we put as of paramount impor-
lance the principle of treating man on
his worth as a man rather than with
reference to his social position, his occu-
patton, or the class to which he belongs.
There are selfish and brutal men in all
ranks of life. If they are capitalists
their selfishness and brutality may take
the form of hard Indifference to suffer
ing, greedy disregard of every moral re-
stralnt which interferes with the accunl-
ulation of wealth, and cold-blooded ex-
ploitation of the weak; or, if they are
iaborers. the form of laziness, of sullen
envy OF the more fortunate, and of will
ingness to perform deeds of murderous
violence Such conduct is just as repre-
nensibie In one case as in the other, and

All stomach trouble it removed by the

what you eat without the stomach's
