THE INTERIM AT

 Sixty hours in the cab without rest or slumber is not calculated to place one in the best of humor and as En- gineer John Greene delivered the one Hundred One into the care or the nos tier and picked his way across the slippery yards through the rain, ne grumbIed audibly, cursed the day nc began railroading and damned the oin- ciais. from President down to train dis patcher.
 Traffic on the A. N. & Q. Railroad was booming, wherefore the general manager and the general freight agene alternated in prodding the division su- perintendent who. in turn. proceeded to make every moment of the train masters existence as tumultuous as possible. The trainmaster was good fellow. He disliked to impose hard ships upon his interiors, but there was no hope for it, and first in, first out, was the rule that was posted in the round-house.
 As Engineer Greene climbed slowly and weariiy up Division Street, to- wards his home, he turned disgustedly at every sound of a foot step behind him, half expecting to see the callboy hurrying to summon him back to his cab.
 Midway the hill stood brick build ing, In front 1t rose two stories, but so steep was the hills incline that at the rear it rested upon high stone wall, framing a basement. Extending from the building, an illuminated sign bore the words:

PROF. MCDONALD BURIED.
Many BeaDt Dtiful drL". Flowers Laid on tn

many beauNlfut FtOWer9 LAtn on the Grave.
 The esteem in which the late Prof. George F. Mcdonald was held in Mont gomery was demonstrated yesterday afternoon at o'clock when an unus- ually large crowd of friends gathered in Leaks undertaking parlors on Dex- ter avenuS to attend the services over the remaits of the departed citizen. No mort artistic, no more beautiful or more costly floral designs have been seen in Montgomery in recent years than those which were sent in memory of the dad citizen. The offerings were various shapes and designs and 1t required special vehicle to carry them to pakwood cemetery. Among the most beautiful designs were those sent by the Red Men, the Pythians. Camp Louax. United Confederate Vet erans, tho Cradle of the Confederacy Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. the Bijou Theatre and friends of the family in New York.
 The members of the four orders of which Professor Mcdonald was a mem Der attened the funeral in a body and followed the remains to the grave in carriages especially provided for them. These orders, the Masons. the Red Men, the PythiAns and the Confederate Vet erans, each in turn conducted services at the grave Before the caSket was taken from the parlors. Camp Lomax, United Confederate Veterans. folded a Confederate flag around the coffin. The flag was taken from the casket when it was lowered into the earth at the cemetery.
 The funeral directions, which Pro- lessor Mcdonald left, were carried out in full Each of the fraternal organi- cations had two active pail bearers while nearly every one of the gentle men, named by Professor McDonald to act as honorary pail bearers served in that capacity.

Davis was engaged in spading the soil when, of a sudden, something struck him on his head. second later, Davis uttered a cry of pain and. on being carried to the outside of the building, stream of blood was seen oozing from his skull.
 whole brick, of ordinary weight, was the missile which struck the head of Davis after 1t had fallen at least thirty feet from point where the brick masons were at work on the upper most point of the structure. Davis was dazed and he fell to the earth, but he never lost consciousness and what is more remarkable, the attending phy- sician. who was immediately called In, made a thorough examination of the wound and pronounced that the skull had not been fractured.
 Davis was taken to his home, and it is likely that he will recover in a day or two.

New York Sun--ls a locomotive ten
der car within the meaning OF the
car-coupler act? That is the Ques.
ton which the supreme court Of the
United States will have to decide in a
case argued before it on Monday. The
act provides that within certain
periods certain percentages of the To-
comopyes and cars of all railroads In
the United States which are en-
gagged in interstate commerce shall be
equipped with automatic couplers, but
nothing is said about the tenders of
the locomotives. This point was raised
by counsel for the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company in a suit brought in
Utah by w. O. Jonnson, brakeman,
who in attempting to couple locomo'
tive and dining car with a link and
pin had his hand so badly mashed that
II had to be amputated.
Johnson sued for $4,000 damages.
He was non-Suited, the trial Judge hold
ing that the locomotive tender, being
neitner a car nor locomotive, was
not required by the car-coupler act to
be equipped with an automatic coupler.
He held also that as the dining car
to which Johnson was coupling the
tender was on siding and not In
use it was not then in interstate com
merce, and that the fact that the car
was equipped with an automatic
coupler which did not couple with the
tender automatically was not material.
This Judgment was affirmed by the
Circuit Court of Appeals Johnson, at
the instance of the Interstate Com.

Economizinq Vital Force.

AS a result of careful study and
many exhaustive experiments the
writer is convinced that the average
man or woman uses up in the perform
ance of ordinary everyday acts from
three to fifteen times the amount of
vital force necessary. The vitality SO
wasted Is in many cases sufficient to
make all the difference between
weakness and strength, between sick
ness and health or between failure and
success.
The ways in which vitality is vast
ed are many and various. We need
consider but two-.incorrect posture OF
the body and excessive muscular ac-
ton. Another, and most far.reaching
factor in nervous vital waste is lack
OF control of the emotions A bent
body is strained by its own weight-so
we find that among people having sucn
bodies the mere act of holding up the
body in standing, walking and moving
about requires from four to ten times
as much vital outlay as the straight
body DR. w. R. G.. Latson in Sue

the whole body OF water is a res. for
a period of 5 or 6 hours; the foreign
matter il thrown down when the water
is in complete rest more rapidly than
when it is always in motion. The in,
stallation of the intermittent type
means larger storage OF water and
larger first cost. This is more than
compensated for by the additional
amount of water stored and by the
more thorough manner in which the
water is treated.
ION one of our large railroads that
has been equipped clear across the
state of Iowa, the results obtained
have been simply astonishing; in
stead of sending locomotive to the
shops every three months to be oven
hauled most of these locomotives
have been in use for more than a
year. The greater portion of the
boiler makers have been discharged or
put to other work.. The locomotives
are ready for service at all times
and their earning capacity correspond
ingly larger"

A CAR COUPLER CASE
IS IS i |

MERGE Commission, brought the case
TO the supreme court, The chief IN.
teycst of tae commission in the case
is that il the Judgment were allowed
to stand the effect of the carcoupler
act would be practically destroyed,
While the act makes no distinction
as 10 the style Of automatic coupler
with which the cars and engines ere
to be equipped most Of the railroads
have adopted the Janney, or NJ, c, h.,
coupler, wnich was recommended by
convention of master car builders
Of the various roads, The Southern
Pacific, however, adopted the Miller
coupler, which does not work automa
tlCally with the Nj. c. Il, coupler and,
consequently, when II becomes neces
sary to couple cars equipped With at
feront couplers, an old-tashioned link
and pin must be used.
L is asserted by the Interstate Com
mrrcC Commission that coupling odd
couplcrs VITA the link and pin is more
dangerous than where both cars have
the old link and pin coupler. and If
the roads are permitted To use coup
lerS which do not act automatically
With each other the law is practically
dead letter SO far as is effect is
concerned 1t, therefore, interviewed
in the suit for damages instituted by
Jonnson, and Solicitor-General Hoyt,
on behalf Of the commission, took part
n the arguments In the case,
An interesting feature OF the argu,
meut was the introduction of a work.
