STEPPING OFF CARS.
Methods Used by Some of the Noted
Railroad Men.

Methods Used by some OF inc No'e"
Railroad Men.
Millions OF dollars are paid in dam
ages annually to fools who have never
practlced the art Of allghting from
moving car If the railroad managers
had the courage of their convictions or
the foresight of John ID. Rockefeller
they would establish schools in all
parts Of the world to educate patrons
in this important matter.
Watch, for instance, some Of the not
ed railroad men. Let us take big, Jol-
", serious, hopeful, restless President
Underwood OF the Erie. He Is strap
ping big man, as strong as President
Roosevets bull moose and came up
from cross ties No one in the entire
railroad world is his superior in hard
and practical experience Does Presi-
dent Underwood wait on the platform
until the train Is under way before he
decides to get on? Neverl No fancy
work with him. When the engineer
pulls open the throttle you can bet all
YOU own on earth and part of your sal
walton that +. d. Underwood is com
fortably ensconced in his section Of the
Pullman or in his corner of the presi-
dents private car.
Underwood Is said to be the strong
est of all railroad presidents. He Is a
Sandow without being muscle bound.
In early youth he was scrapper from
way back; could lick thrice his weight
in wildcats and looks as if he could do
it now. Tom Lee is bigger man.
Tom is six feet four inches. Did any
body ever see him run for train or
( lump off when his car was in motion!
No. He leaves those feats for fool
passengers. Did George IL. DAME J,
dean emeritus of passenger agents,
ever try TO catch n train? Never! Or
leap off before dead stop? Not on
your life! What of Charlie Lambertf
A train would have to get off the track
to pass over him, yet he is ever care
full.
Let us learn of these practical men
President Baer of the Reading system
lifts up his voice to heaven before en-
tering a train and is sure to be in bis
seat ere the bell rope is pulled. His
able and accomplished vice president
and general manager, w. G. Palmer
is a handsome, stocky man about five
feet eight inches in height and has the
shoulders of Ajax. Besler could lie on
the track and let one of his 34OOOI
pound engines run over him without
fear Of evil, but who ever saw him
jump off a moving train or try to catch
one? President Cassatt, the most In
teresting of all railroad presidents, has
not tried to jump off train in mo
ton since he ran a level in the con
struction department of the Pennsylya
mia system.-Victor Smith in New YorA

-hCtNANAONf
Many people who read from time to
time of the progress of the work Of
building the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, in New York city, probably re-
gard the undertaking as purely artistic
and look forward to the day when they
will visit II as tourists now go to see

cathedral will, however, be something
more than magnificent specimen OF
modern ecclesiastical architecture. 1t

and charitable institutions in the me
tropols.
The nucleus of this great proposed
center of social service consists OF sew
eral already famous undertakings.
There is the New York Protestant
Episcopal City Mission society, which
maintains six chapels and seVeral
houses of refuge and has representa-
tIves not only in the almshOuSe ana
the state reform school, but also in all
the city prisons and hospitals. This So
ciety is mainly responsible for the
maintenance of the Chapel OF the
Epiphany, otherwise called the pro-
cathedral. social settlement In one
of the most crowded districts in the

What Is ReIigiOnf

In "What Is Religion" by Henry S.
Pritchett, president Of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, is
found this answer to the question:
"And what is religion as the man Of
science apprehends it? Stripped of all
forms Of conventional language, laying
aside the imagery and the traditions
which cling about the very word itself,
religion presents itself to the man
trained in science as nothing other
than the divine life in the human soul,
q life which manifests itself, as all life
manifests itself, by the growth which
It brings forth, the divine flowers Of
the human observation-disclosures, love,
fearlessness, serenity, patience, sery-
ice"

A Little Diplomat.

Prince Edward, the eldest son Of the
Prince of Wales, is little diplomat.
Upon one occasion the young prince
was asked by little girl at a chill
dren's party where he lived. 1--WE live
near Whiteley's," added the child
proudly. "Ah," replied Prince Ed
ward, with interest, that's curious.
We live near GOrringes." Another
time a gentleman was telling a long
and dull anecdote to Prince Edward
and his younger brother, Prince Albert.
After a time Prince Albert began to
show unmistakable signs Of WEAKNESS
and Impotence, at which Prince Ed
ward anxiOusly nudged him, whisper
ing as he did so. "Smile, smile"

THE VALUABLE MOOSE.
1t Is the staff of Life In the Great
Northern Wilderness.

Northern Wilderness.
What the buffalo was to the plains,
the white tail deer to the southern
woods and the caribou to the barrens
the moose is to the great northern belt
of swamp and timber land of British
America.
1t is the creature that enables the ma
tives to live at all. Assisted in warm
weather by various fish, it bears prac-
tically the burden of their support. Its
delicious steaks are their staple food,
but its nose or muzzle is a delicacy. Its
hide furnishes the best clothing and
mOccasin leather or provides snow
shoes that enable the hunter to kill
more moose. Its back sinew is the sew
ing thread Of the country, its horns and
bones make tools, its hOOfs can be con-
verified into rattles, and its coarse, bris-
tly name, six inches long and white eX-
cept the tips, furnishes raw material
for embroidery. When dyed with ma
tive dyes and skillfully worked into
leather and birch bark, these bristles
are as effective as porcupine quilts and
are, indeed, often mistaken for them
by the unskilled-Ernest Thompson Sc

MUCH INTEREST
in. THE CAME

Between the P. G. S. and P.
H. S. Football Teams.
Big Crowd Expected.

More interest is being shown by the
lovers OF football in the game to-mor-
row between the p. G. S. and P. H. S.
teams than has been exhibited in any
game in Pensacola for years, and the
approaching contest is now almost the
sole topic Of conversation where any
of the students of the two schools
gather. The greatest interest has
heretofore been shown when a visit
ing team came to the city, but on
this occasion it is Just the reverse,
owing to the rivalry between the
teams of the two schools and their
followers.
Both elevens are in good condition
and prepared for the game which
will decide the championship of the
season, and if the weather is fair there
should be a big attendance at Palmet-
TO Beach when the whistle blows for
the first half of the deciding battle.
Many of the stores of the city are
to be closed throughout the day in
observance of Thanksgiving. thus af-
fording all an opportunity of seeing
the game.

THE CAYO LARGO
ARRIVES FOR
COTTON
Will Garry Cargo of About
10000 Bales from This
Port.

The British steamer Cayo Largo,
which has been due for couple of
days, reached port yesterday, coming
from Tampico, and will load a cargo
of about 10000 bales of cotton by the
Gulf Transit Company.
On BOARD the steamer are the mas
ter and two members of the crew of
wrecked American schooner, who
were sent to this port from Tampico
by the American consul there, their
vessel having been wrecked some
time since near CoatZacoalcos.
The arrival of the Cayo Largo, and
the fact that another steamer is now
due for cotton cargo, caused renewed
activity on the Louisville & Nashville
wharves yesterday afternoon, as the
company is already engaged in load
ing cargo of about $4,000 bales on
the steamer Lord Stanmore, which
only recently arrived, and there will
be a rush in handling the fieecy staple
during the next few weeks, as there
is an immense amount of cotton to be
moved from the warehouses.
The Gulf Transit Company is in
hopes that a sufficient number of bay
men will appear on the wharves to
handle the work during the rush, and
thus Obviate the necessity of sending
TO Savannah for labor

And Unless There is Change
At An Early Date All
Records Will Be
Broken.

High temperatures continue to pre-
vail in Pensacola and the long run of
warm days so late in the season is be-
coming somewhat remarkable. Unless
there is change in the near future
there will be some new records es-
tablished in weather conditions in
Pensacola, and this year has already
done much towards that end.
Yesterdays record of a maximum
temperature of Is degrees lacked only
two degrees of being the warmest
month for SO late in November in the
history of the weather bureau, and but
for for this one record would have
been the warmest on record. The
temperature during the past ten days
or two weeks, with one exception,
has been ranging from 20 to Is de-
grees each day.
Only one frost has been recorded as
forming this year, and throughout No
vember the temperatures have been
exceptionally high.
The records show that the coolest
