Take the end of a needle or the end

cut from some old magazine an outline

on the nut In the position you wish
your decoration to be. Now take Il
sharp knife and cut through this pic

lines of the picture.
AS your lines are bound to be more

some design suggestive of Indian work,

P. R. R. TIME TABLE REVISED
Time of Holly Beach and Angle
sea Trains Inserted for Con-
Venience of those BOroughs

The JOURNAL has in the past few
months been the recipient ola number
of complaints and objections 10 the
manner in which the Pennsylvania
railroad time table has been published,
asking that the time of trains leaving
Holly Beach and Anglesea might be
printed as well as the time of trains
leaving Wildwood. The prevailing
impression seems 10 have been that
the figures were left out of the table
purposely. This has not been the case,
however, as the time table is u regular
paid advertisement prepared at the
Office of the railroad company.
Thinking that the omission of the
train tables of Holly Beach and Angle
sea was undoubtedly an oversight ON
the part of the railroad company, the
JOURNAL last week communicated
with Geo. w. Boyd, general passenger
agent, calling his attention TO the
matter and asking that it might be
revised. On Tuesday of this week we
received the following reply:
JOURNAL, Wildwood, N. j.
Dear Sir: Complying with your re-
quest of the Dist instant, | inclose here
with revised time table for publication
in YOU paper. Please be kind enough
TO send me a proof of this table for file
in this office.
| think the table as now arranged
will meet the wishes of the residents of
Holly Beach and Anglesea as well as
those of Wildwood.
Very truly,
GEO. w. BOYD,
General Passenger Agent
BY referring to our advertising col
umns the revised table can be seen.
We believe this will be appreciated by
our subscribers and the many people
who have occasion to use the train
time tables.

Denver, Colo, March 2O.-Sixteen
miners and mill men have been swept

hundreds of others are held prisoners
in the mountains, unable to reach the
towns because of the deep snow and
the danger of slides. Some Of these
may have been killed ere this. The
damage to mine and mill property will

Big Pay Roll for Month.

The checks for the February pay OF
railroad men here were received from
the east yesterday afternoon and were
distributed that afternoon and today.
The pay rolls are quite large this
month, there being several new names
and some of the checks being for eX-
~ceptionally large amounts, particularly
in the trainmen's lists. The engineers,
firemen, conductors and brakemen re-
ceive hefty allowances.
The employees in all departments OF
the mill were paid through the district
foreman's Office this month, the checks
for the men employed in the operating
department going from his office to
the office of the superintendent. h
construction department at the mill
was paid by Chief Clerk Harry Lang
heldt. Next month all the mill checks
will go to Superintendent Jacobus, his
lists being complete by that time.
1t is estimated that the railroad pay
rolls, including the district foreman
rolls, the agents rolls, the tie plant
and the rolling mill, will aggregate
more than $4,000, which will be
greatly increased next month by addl
tons to the working force at the roll
ing mills.

Completes Circuit of Levels.
Mr.. NJ. S. Bright, levelman, complet-
ed a circuit of levels begun the season

it 80 permanent bench marks were
established. This work was in Ma
