Railway Tickets From a Slot Machine.

An interesting application Of the slot
principle has been made in England,
where the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway has introduced an automatic
ticket machine at a point where a large
number of tickets for a neighbOring
station are sold. The machine is Of
simple construction, and when the coin
is dropped into the slot and a handle
pulled the ticket is dropped into an
open receptacle. If the machine proves
successful in operation it is proposed
to install a large number at suburban
stations, not only with the purpose
of relieving the ticket Office, especially
during rush hours, but to enable pas
sengers to purchase their tickets more
speedily without waiting in a line at
the window. 1t has been suggested
that a number of these machines could
be employed at rapid transit or sub
way stations In this country with ad-
vantage. The English company on
siders that the automatic ticket ma
chine will serve to increase suburban
traffic, and enable it to meet electric
competition on better terms.-Harper'sl
Weekly.

Hope to End Fever.

New Orleans, La.-Aside from the fe-
yer, the quarantine and detention re-
strictions continue to interfere with
business. AS harvest time is approach
ing on the plantations, appeals have
come from all sections of Louisiana
that the detention camps be kept open
so that plantation hands might be sent
to the country. Unless these laborers
are obtained the farmers will be I'M
able to get the benefit of the crops.
and for that reason the railroads are
e~ndeavoring to have detention camps
opened and operated by the Marine
Hospital Service.
Though hope that the fever would
be eradicated by the 1st of October
was some time ago abandoned, general
encouragement is felt that If the
threats of the authorities have their
effect and suppression is no longer
practiced the fight will be virtually
at an end fifteen days later than the
day set.

TUG HIT BY CANADIAN CRUISER.
Her Captain Says He Was Fishing in
United States Waters.


Erie, Pa.-The fish tug w. J. McCar-
ter, of the keystone Fish Company's
fleet, limped into port with a big hole
stove in her side by a shot from the
Canadian cruiser Vigilant. Captain
Frank Handy, of the McCarter, stated
that as he was going after his nets
about noon the Vigilant swooped down
upon him before he was aware of her
presence and fired upon him.
The shot struck the tug near the
water line, wrecking the machinery
used for pulling the nets. The Nc
Carter hastily put for shore. AL
though in a leaking condition the tug
managed to reach port in safety.
Captain Handy, of the tug boat, said
they were in American waters when
fired upon, and to make their position
more secure they started to get fur
ther away as there would be no doubt
of their being in American waters.
