WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
, Bicycle Paths.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Replying to the assistant city engineer
in regard to. bicycle paths, would like to
say that as the ,bicyEles riders are the only
persons paying for tile use of the streets
they certainly have a right to expect that
at least the paths that aretpaid for should
be kept in some sort of shape.
I should like, to know whose fault 1t is
that collections for tags have not been
made. 5
It might also be a good plan for the
police to see that the Eighth ward side
walks are used less for bicycles, which
would help some toward selling tags and
settle the question who are entitled to the
use of the sidewalks.
Everyone will admit if it is left optional
with riders to pay and no noticeable use
made of what funds are voluntarily
turned it, it won't encourage the prompt
fellows to come down again.

mended as government railway expert
in the Philippines, familiar to twin city
railroad men. After graduating from
the Worcester Polytechnic in 1879, Mr..
Darling entered the service of the

In 1903 he transferred to the Rock

Philadelphia Ledger.
AS evidencing the closeness with which
James J. Hill follows even the smallest
detail of the management of the proper
ties of which he is the head, a. story was
told in Wall street today that when jour-
neying a while ago over a section of the
Great Northern while work was being
done on an extension, Mr.. Hill asked the
division superintendent how many ties
had been cut. The division superinten-
dent did not know, but he felt that it
would never do to let Mr.. Hill become
aware Of the fact He hesitated a mo-
ment and then boldly hazarded, up to
this morning the count showed 7s,ooo---
7S,42O, the exact number, believe" The
crisis was passed; but the superintendent
feared trouble was ahead. At the next
station he left the car and sent this mes
sage to the division engineer who was to
meet the train at a later stop: "If j. H.
asks how many ties have been cut tell
him rs, 42O.'' True to the suspicion Of the
superintendent Mr.. Hill later asked the
engineer how many ties had been cut.
Seventy eight thousand four hundred
and twenty" was the ready response Of
/ the engineer, evidently little to the
surprise Of Mr.. Hill.

Another Warming.

By very narrow margin Minneapo-

road crossing accident. If the escape
had not been made, a fresh stimulus
would have been added to the popular
demand for abolishing the grade cross
ings. The warning last night, how
ever, ought to be quite as valuable as
if it had been attended by loss of
life. There was imminent danger of
such an outcome and the escape was
too narrow to Justify Indifference with
regard to it. This narrow escape hap
pened on one Of the worst grade crosse.
ings in the city, and the avoidance Of
fatalities last night is no assurance
that more serious consequences may not
follow tonight. The embarrassing:
problem is one of the most important
before our city council. It demands
careful attention and that the solution
be expedited as rapidly as possible.

GOOD NEWS FOR TRAVELLERS
More Rate Cutting Between Chicago
and New York.

The Erie road has cut the rate be-
tween Chicago and New York to SIC,
frst-class, and SIS, second-class. This
cut follows the allowance Of differen-
tial to the Michigan Central. Protest
was made by the Erie and other roads
to the board Of arbitration. The Grand
Trunk announced that it would under
sell the Central So, and this is about the
action taken by the Erie. The differen-
tial rate is ST. and SIS. Serious rate
cutting may result if the Grand Trunk
and the Erie persist in their attitude.

A Resourceful Reptile.

An example of rare animal intelli.
gence was related by the French ex.
plorer G. Mingaud. This noted sci.
enlist had caught a water adder, which
lie placed in a wire cage. The snake
began at once to try to effect an es.
cape between the wire bars. but got
no farther than her head and neck.
which protruded through the inter.
stices. At last the reptile. weary Of its
futile efforts. lay down on the bottom
Of the cage. and Mingaud observed il
go into apparently useless commissions,
But the snake knew what 1t wanted
Not more than Il minute had passed
before it gave UP its breakfast of the
morning in the form Of lizard about
four inches long. A moment later the
adder was again at the bars Of the
cage and this time had no difficulty il
crawling through.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
First Move In This Direction Made IN
MedfOrd In 1901.

The first recorded public meeting in
the interest Of "woman's rights" was
held in the town Of Medford in 1901.
The gallery of the church was occupied
by the young unmarried people Of the
congregation, one side and One.hnlf the
front gallery being given to the young
men. the other side and the other half
being given 10 the young women. But
in the seating in the eventful year the
young men were given the entire front
Of the gallery as well, and tho young
women were allowed only one side Of
the gallery.
Then it was that things began to hap
pen. Treatment like this wasn't to be
tolerated, even for moment. The
blood of the future mothers of the
Revolution was fully aroused. and the
young women made such an uproar
and commotion that it speedily became
town matter, and town meeting
was called to restore to them their
rights In half Of the front gallery.
The young men Of the day were bit
terly opposed to extending any new
tended beyond Medford. Shortly after
the introduction OF pews into the
churches, by which families were sep
arated from tle remainder Of the con
gregation, the selectmen Of the town OF
Newbury gave permission to a group
Of young women to build a pew In the
gallery OF the church upon their own
side Of the house. This extension Of
privilege was resented by the young
bachelors TO such degree that they
broke q window of the church, forced
an entrance and hacked the pew il
pieces. For this act Of sacrilege thu
young men of Newbury We're fined $ll
each and sentenced to be whipped o.

to confess their folly and ask pardon
so this part of their punishment wal
omitted. So you see the woman!
