On the Delaware railroad the new
rule of no passes went into effect Mon
day and many paid fares for the first
time in years. The railroad men could
tell many interesting stories, if it we're
not for hurting the feelings of those
who were compelled ~ pay fares. For
several years there has been a number
of lawyers with more or less influence,
who travelled on passes. These were
cut off and those who travelled Mon
day paid their fare. There were also
several politicians without passes but
they did not travel. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has discon-
tinued passes except to employees and
their families.

There is a movement OH foot at pres
ent to induce the Delaware Railroad
Company to place fagmen at a number
of crossings. One place that is con-
sidered very dangerous is the county
road which crosses the tracks at Bear
station. The farmers have prepared
petition and it will be presented to the
railroad company in the near future.
Speaking along this line The Middle
town Transcript says: "The sad ac-
cident Of Tuesday night or early Wed
nesday morning by which one of our
prominent young men lost his life has
directed attention to the particularly
dangerous crossing at Armstrong;
Corner. The dense thicket on the west
of the railroad and south of the public
road renders it impossible for person
driving as was Mr.. Beaston, to the east
to see train until he reaches the
track, and in large measure prevents
him from hearing. The railroad com
pany is not to blame for this condition
as the woodland is not the property o.
the company. just how to avoid such
accidents is serious question. Tt

After several weeks abatement in
which it was thought the railroad off
ces would not be moved at least this
winter, the rumor has broken out
afresh that that there is strong prob
ability that an order will be issued to
move the offices anytime between now
and the 18th. Indeed the rumor is
the talk among railroad circles and
those who will be affectea-by the order
are waiting with anxious expectancy
AS the matter has been so much talked
about there are some who don't have
much faith in the reports and are not
expecting anything until it actually
happens. In the meantime Clayton is
not worrying over it and the town is
moving in its usual progressive spirit.

COMPASS OF LITTLE USE.
Thu instrument OH Submarine Boat
Ceases to Point North
Undes Water.

Talking with a young naval onlceI'
learned something about submarine
boats that astonished me, says brooh'
lyn Eagle writer He had been down III
me of the Holland craft several tliile'
and made light of the dangers. but he
ridicued the value of such VesseIs l"'
warfare. Then he told me the strange
inexplicable fact that after the boa'
Is entirely submerged the compass
ceases to point to the north II lies
around any old way and cannot De re-
lied upon for steering. Even whep th1
water is clear and still the man at the
lookout cannot see more than ~ lee'
in front of the bow.
Rough water on the surface has int
effect of giving an opaqueness 10 thd
sea underneath-the opposite OF the'
ory. The approach of submarine eau
be detected by the masthead that stands
out of the water. The vessel rarely de-
sends more than ten or twelve tee'
below the surface The general suppo-
sition that the boat founders about ID
the mud is erroneous
But the impossibility of steering by
compass destroys the practicability OF
this weapon for actual warfare. In an
engagement the submarine would be as
likely to torpedo friend as enemy All
manner of strange currents exist under
the surface of the sea, and as they have
the boat wholly in their grasp she
might be turned entirely around in
quarter miles run. Many of the most
expert men in the navy are trying to
divise means to overcome the effect OF
submersion upon the compass.

FAMOUS BELGIAN SCULPTOR
First of His Calling to Give to Labor
the Precious Baptism
of Art.

Just year ago (April A, 19O5), there
died in Brussels, where he was born
and where he lived and labored nearly
all his days, one of the worlds great
est sculptors, writes Christian Brinton.
in "A Sculptor of the Laborer," in
Century. In his reticence and simple
ruggedness and sincerity, Constantin
Meunier recalls the master craftsmen
Of other, sturdier times. He passed
away at "a, in the fullness of effort.
for he was one of those who mature
but slowly. With the exception of a
brief sojourn in Spain, he scarcely left
his native land. II have never had
any adventures, he once said; II
have only dreamed and worked. :"
Though modern in feeling, his art Is
both Gothic and Greek, both restless
and serene. 1t Is, above everything
an art that typlfes the spirit of the
hour. All the fierce energy, the mate.
rial progress and inventive genius Of
to-day are reflected in Meuniers min.
ers and foundrymen, his puddlers ana
glassblowers. He was the first sculn.
tor who saw plastic beauty in the
workman, the hrst to give labor the
precious baptism of art.

1T WAS JUST LIKE HIM.
A Hopeful Employees Expectations
Dashed by His Close
Employer.

In a banking Office in New Orleans is
an aged bookkeeper who began his con-
nection with the business the day It
was established. AS the years went by
the proprietor, who had started with
little, but was extremely CLOSE, >
amassed an enormous fortune. The
bookkeeper piled up but small amount
of savings, relates the New Orleans
Picayune.
At last the twenty-ffth anniversary
of the firm and of the bookkeeper's
service came along He remembered it,
but thought no one else would. To his
surprise, the proprietor spoke of it at
once.
Williams he said, do you know
what day this is?"
Our tweny-fifth anniversary, sir
1T is indeed Williams. And now |
have thought fit to commemorate the
event, and | have put in this envelope
for you a small gift to express my APP
probation of your faithful service"
The bookkeeper, his hopes raised
high, took the envelope from his emf
ployer and opened it. The token" was
photograph of the employer.
Well demanded the donor, as the
other hesitated What did you want
to say about it,"
Its just like you!" murmured the
bookkeeper Its just like you,"

HATS OF THE DAY.

1t is hard for mere woman not TO
fall into temptation when she goes
10 the great Openings" with which
Willy shop, merchant and milliner lure
her in the days when everything she
has worn during the past season be-
gins to look hopelessly shabby. All
the vanities of the feminine world are
spread out before her; she finds such
lot of things just exactly her style,
just to her taste-alas not to her
purse. But just when she is beginning
to wish she had not come at all, she
lights upon what appeals and yet is
not out of all reason as to price; for
to-day the greatest variety is offered,
and if one but be patient and spend
time one can get very good warm
weather outfit without great eXpendi-
ture.
For instance, there are really good
lingerie waists to be had at reasonable
prices, and readyto-wear hats in very
good style. Yesterday as We strolled
through the aisles of a store whose
reputation is orld-wide, we saw
gowns whose cos, scared pretty high
and also the most fetching bargains
in the way of shirt-waists and pretty
hats. And stuffs on display ranged
all the way from a dotted Swiss at
$3.50 a yard to a thin white goods at
10 cents, and in the latter we realized
there were wonderful possibilities
fine tucking, bit Of cream insertion
with frills of white lace, modish pat
tern used in the cut, and a lingerie
blouse evolved equal to the one in the
glass case over yonder. For the
lingerie blouse of the season, the
shoulder seam is moderately short
sleeve moderately full and quite short
and edged with frills; the back
trimmed, not, however, so deliberately
as the front. The fluffy blouse is very
charming worn with a coreselet skirt,
the kind high at the back and cut out
in front.
1t seemed to us all the skirts on dis
play except those Of strictly utili-
tartan sort, were made coreselet
