RAISES WRATH Of BRAKEMAN
ROy l.. McCardeII Allowed To Talk. But
Pulling The Bell Rope
Causes Fright.

This following is n special despatch
To the New York Herald, January
"a, 1907.
Greenwich, Conn. saturday,
Through the medium of an encounter
with a brakeman named Dinan, Roy
l.. McCardell, n professional humor-
ist.'' who works for New York
ne spaper, afforded amusement to
passengers on train leaving the
Grand Central Station ut half-past
eleven o'clock last night, and it was
not until the little comedy had come
To am end that they realized Nectar
dell himself, after the fashion of hu-
morists. had taken il seriously.
Arriving at the train the funny
man. found every seat occupied ny
al least one person, So he jocossly
asked the conductor to open another
car, which happened, however, to be
unattached to the train. That func-
tionary did not perceive the humor
of the suggestion and answered with
an emphatic negative. Thereupon,
McCardell commanded his wife and
children to remain on the platform
and he marched through the train loud
ly expressing his opinion of railroads
i'm general and this one in particular,
raising his voice n trifle rs the laugh
ter grew louder.
Presently the train began to move
and McCardell brought his screaming
ly funny monologue to a close by
Jerking the bell rope. This, of course,
stopped the train, and a moment later
the humorist and tall brakeman
were graphing on one of the rear plat
forms. The screams of his wife and
children, who knew, perhaps, that he
WASH t always ,oking, induced McCar-
d ell to let the railroad run its trains
in its own way for the present, and
he disbemarked. After a while an
other train carried him and his fam
ily to their home in..New Rochelle.
Mr.. McCardell's father was for
mer resident of this city and he is
well l-known here.

the school.
Mr.. Harry Il. Wallis, the present
secretary and examiner of public
schools, was present and spoke highly
of the stanton school and the work that
is Icing done there. He said that il
is the desire OF himself and the
School Commissioners to keep the
colored schools open, but owing 10
the lack of funds and the great bond
ed debt under which the School Conn
miss toner's are laboring. they find il
impo ossible to do SO, and that il will
be necessary for the coiored people
10 make some sacrifices if they wish
TO continue their schools, and that
he highly commended the colorod
people for the interest when they
were manifesting in the education of
their children.

forth efforts TO raise money To con
Time the school. In his r-marks w.
IL. Bates said the future of his race de-
pended upon proper application of
their energies for the uplifting OF the
race morally, mentally and finan-
cially.
Charles A. Butler said that The col
ored people could not expect TO ac-
complish as much with eurtailed
school year as other racss could with
full school year, aud it would be
necessary for them 10 lengthen it by
subscribing what they could.
w Ill. Howard said that no Two
races could rot live harmoniousl V to-
gether, the one highly intelligent and
the other basely ignorant.
The meeting was we'll attended and

PRESBYTER|ANS ENTERTAIN.
The Birthday Social Held In The Lecture
Room Of The Church Was
a Success.

/ Success and entertainment so far as
| the Presbyterians are concerned. are
| synonymous, for the PRESBYTERIAN
brethren and sisters, although slow to
come before the public, never attem ut
TO do so unless the entertainments
means success from the start. They
do not ask patronage often, but when
they do solicit ii, a generous response
is usually forthcoming.
Last nights birthday social was no
exception to the rule, and every seat
! in the lecture room was occupied
some time before the pleasing musical
program was rendered. A birthday
social, to the ladies, sounds ominous.
to say the least, but at this especial
one no one had TO reveal his age.
You simply put into little silk bag
dropped into basket at the door, as
many pennies as the date OF his
birth.
For instance, if you happened to
have come into this vale of tears on
the second day of the month, you
only put two pennies into the bag,
but if you were so unfortunate as to
be born on the Both or 3lst. you
had to drop in thirty or thirty-one
pennies. The pile of little silk bags
in the basket at the door netted
neat little sum. The program,
was we'll arranged, and reflects credit
on the committee in charge.
The program opened with a vocal
solo by Miss Wales, who sang very
sweetly and who has highly culti-
waited and well trained voice. Mrs.
Charles f.. Myers and Miss Cora
Myers played piano duet, which they
rendered in pleasing manner. A bari
tone solo, ''Tn the Haunts of the
Witches, = was splendidly sung by Mr..
William NJ. Feldmeyer, who has
fne voice and sings with expression.
Mr.. Feldmeyer was obliged TO respond
to an encore and sang Absent.
A very pleasing feature of the even
ing was a recitation on General Lee,
recited by Miss Elizabeth Redm ond.
The child shows marked talent and
gives promise of becoming an elocu-
ZIONIST of ability. A solo by Prof.
Horace j. Fenton, attached TO the De-
partment of English and Law at the
Naval Academy, was much enjoyed.
Professor Fenton has a well-trained
voice, which he has under perfect
control. Miss Norma BrOtzman sang
very sweetly in her usual pleasing
style. Her voice is musical in all its
notes and flexible and her enuncia-
tfon is pure and distinct. Her solos
always are pleasing and much en-
ioyed.
After the program refreshments were
sold and n social evening was enjoy
ed. The entertainment was highly sue
cessful in every ssway and the proceeds
netted good sum.

Train Derailed.

The train of the Maryland Electric
Railways Company baltimore and
Annapolis Short Line) which left
Baltimore ut 5.15 yesterday afternoon
was derailed at, Joyce's Crossing, be-
tween Revells and Arnolds Stations,
about five miles from this city. Ii
is thought to have been caused by
something falling between the rail and
the large planks whicn were placed
outside and betw cen the rails at the
crossing. The cars which left the
rails were'the baggage ear and smoker,
which were closest to the locomotive,
and the passenger coach kept to the
rails. The passengers were much
frightened and the train was delayed
about one hour.

The progressive state of dis
rleses no specific grounds for a declining
confidence in the outlook. Payments
through the banks furnish the best APP
proximation of general activity, and tho
remarkable aggregate of these for May
~testifies to a volume of business in this
district greater than at any time hereto
fore. This reflex of expansion is made
more satisfactory in the fact that there
is also a better supply OF money. wi'h
4 lower discount rate.
Interest in the markets for brcadStuffs
is attended with less excitement. but
prices have changed little, and the specu-
lative element is a small factor, advices
agreeing as to an improvement in crop
conditions.
Higher temperatures brought the nee
essary stimulus to demand in d~iStributive
lines. Local sales of scasonable neces-
saries made a good advance, especially in
lightweight apparel, footwear II house
furnishings. while late reports show
country merchandise stocks undergoing
rapid reduction and buying throughout

80 the best grain in our Northwest
States is all the offspring of a single
stalk of wheat numbered 476 of the 1892

grown from 400 seeds selected from the
best then in existence. But, by setting
this plant aside, and raising from it sew
eral crops of seed, a new strain was de-
veloped, Minnesota 169,' which grows
from one to two more bushels to the
acre.
do you realize what it means to add
a single bushel to the yield per acre?
In ten years it would add $500, 600
to the wealth of the country. But at
the Minnesota experiment station selec-
ton and h%ybridizing has already pro-
duced a gain of 25 per cent in yield.
This per cent, if generally applied, would
add to the worlds supply of wheat 625,-

any farmer can do it for himself. Pa

KILL HOPELESS CONSERVATIVES
Noted Specialist So Advises National
Tubercrslosis Conventions.


DR.. S. A.. Knopff, the famous New
York tuberculosis specialist, who was dec
GRATED by Emperor William of Germany
for his work in fighting the white plague,
and who received a prize of $4,000 for
the best treatise Upon that disease, star
tied the national tuberculosis congress at
Washington by advising that hopeless suf-
ferers from tuberculosis be killed quickly
and painlessly by heavy doses of NOR
phine. He said it was his practice to do
that, and he regarded it as a sacred duty
that the end might come quickly and pain
lessly.
The committee on medication had made
a report condemning the use of morphine
and its compounds in these cases, n a
bitter debate was in progress when DR..
Knopff spoke. Doctors Flick and Lands
had approved the report, but favored
using creosote in advanced cases. Knop6
was opposed to the use of creosote, but
said he did use herbin and codein, both
of which contain morphine or cocaine.
One, of the plans Endorsed by the con
gress is to organize classes of consump
tives among workingmen and school chill
dren for home treatment instead OF in
hospitals and sanitariums. DR.. Fulton
said the secret of the success of the home
treatment was that not only the patient,
but the entire family, learned the road
to health. while the man who returns
from a sanitarium usually canno change
his family's mode of life. DR.. Lowman
urged the seclusion of consumptive school
children in special classes, which. so far
as possible, may be taught in the open
air.
