Motorists Fined 100000.

London EXpress.l
The tribute levied upon motorists by
tie magistrates of the United Kingdom
during 1904 reached the enormous SUN
CT G21SOOO. This amount averages
very nearly 91O per head for every
car on the road that year.
Astonishing as these figures appear,
it is probable that when the total of
tais years fines can be made up Il
will reach we'll over 100000,
The increase this year Is due to the
persistent manner in which the police
in many PARTS of the country, and es'
pecialIy in the southern counties,
have pursued their campaign against
motor cars by means Of traps,
1.-THE latest form Of police trap IS an
electrical arrangement" says stenson
Cooke, secretary of the Automobile as
ISOLATION. "A piece Of rope is almost
buried across the road at the start OF
a measured furlong When the car
touches tho rope 1t starts a tImepiece
This is the most just and reliable form
CT trap, for it does not depend for Its
accuracy upon cheap stop watches and
unsldlled police as timekeeDers.
"By the system of patrols which the
Automobile association has established
many of the police traps have been
completely nullined, At Guildford
some time ago as much as G1O5 was
taken In fines from motorists in one
day. Now that our scouts are at WORK
things are 7ery different,
"On two main roads, working two
days a week, the patrols exercised the
necessary restraint on 207 motor cars.
but for the associations efforts at least
half Of these would have been fined
We estimote that We save Gl0O 4
week on each road"

OUT FOR THE SENATE.

The Grafton Sentinel announces the
candidacy Of w. E. Tomblyn, of Tay-
lor county, for the State Senate, Ii
speaks in high terms of the gentleman.
who has recently finished his work as
land commissioner for Taylor county.
1t says Of him, among other things, the
following:
"He Is an enthusiastic supporter Of
the new laws and has great faith that
they will work out for the good Of the
whole State. He believes, howeve'.
that they may be largely improved and
he thinks 1t the duty of the Republican
party to make the changes and tie
additions that will make them mo %
perfect Mr.. Tomhyn talks # the laws
II, very Intelligent yet liberal-minded
manner, and is no wise afraid to utter
his opinion upon them. During the
sessions Of the County Court Mr.. rOIl-
Glyn has gone up against some shrewd
lawyers, but he has held his own in a
truly remarkable manner. usually con-
ing out with flying colors and at no
time acknowledging defeat. AS a re-
suit Of the able manner in which he
has defended his assessments there
have been few reductions, and none
that amounted 10 great deal. Through
his reasoning also other lands assessed
by him at a low figure have been
raised by the Court, and there has been
no material change made in the total
assessment of the county from what
he at first reported, the increases be-
ing amply sufficient to meet the rcduc-
lions made. All this, 1t would seem,
creates Mr.. Tomblm avery available
man for the Senate or the Legislature.
and he will doubtless figure to some OK
tent in the coming campaign for poit
ical nomination"

THE ENGAGEMENT
or Miss Roosevelt and Congressman
Longworth Expected Soon.

New York, Dec. 13.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the Herald Says
"The engagement of the president 8
eldest daughter, Miss Alice Roose-
welt. and Representative Nicholas
Longworth, OF Cincinnati, has been
frequently reported, on the strength
merely of rumors in society circles
at the national capital, and Il has
been as frequently denied amthorita-
lively. Even Miss Roosevelt has
NOT been able to keep herself free
from journalistic query upon the
subject, much to her own and her
fanily's annoyance,
The fact is that no formal engage
ment was made known to even the
most intimate friends of the presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, and
whether there was any mutual I'M
Outstanding or anything akin TO it,,
between Miss Roosevelt and Mr..
Longworth, was, to put 1t brusquely
perhaps something that was no
body's business" except that of the
two directly concerned.
Now, however, matters stand
somewhat differently as between the
couple and society, for they have
become engaged. and the formal an
nouncement will be made by Mrs.
Roosevelt Within few days at tho
white house. The wedding day has
not as yet been actually set, but II
has been determined upon so far
that Miss Roosevelt's wedding bells
sh1ll be set a ringing very early In
the spring. possibly before the win
tea Is really over.

two occupations that cannot be en-
gagged in at the same time. according

case. II was not scandal, however,
Complaint had been received at the
department from a farmer living in
Little Hooking, Washington county,
Ohio. who declared solemnly that the
rural free delivery carrier who de-
livered mail at the farmers home en-
gagged in the traffic of polecat skins
as side line.
This was highly Objectionable to
the farm er, who declared that the
letters, from his sweetheart, and ev-
en- his daily newspapers, delivered
by the offending carrier exuded dis
agreeable odor as a result of coming
in contact with the skins.
