Ninety per cent of the Mexican poems
are too poor to pay their fare. They
don't think anything of walking four

at some fandango; and as the center of
the railroad track is about the best
place in the world for walking, the en-
gineer has all the trouble he can tend
to. You very seldom hear of any one
being killed or a train wrecked, for
from the Office boy up they all realize
what it will mean. So every safeguard
is used to protect a train on the road.

 Within ear-shot of the speaker were four men widely known on the race tracks, enjoying their supper last night in Packs" on Sixth avenue.

Musical Bells for London.
the London Chronlcle.

From the London Chronlcle
 London has been made a more joy ous city by the introduction of really musical notorious alarm bells. They are real Bow bells, which make music between Bow and Putney, and put to shame those hand-blown trumpets with which the drivers of the older buses make day and night hideous. If the obstructing cabby provokes a curse from the bus driver he wins blessing from the outside passenger, since he causes that soft, melodious cathedral Ike bell to chime once more.
 We are likely to miss great chance of turning noise into delight when we tolerate the hooter of the bicycle and the notorious. It is question of courtesy among people who must rub shoulders in a crowded city. The "hooter" simply hoots Get out" But the bell tinkles the pleasant announce ment: T am here. Will you kindly let me see your face?'
 One of the horrors of London is the "hooter." In bed this writer hears it from the banks of the river, the work snops of Battersea and Wandsworth. At 5 the hooters begin to shriek. But why should so many square miles of London be awakened in order that this factory or that should gather in its workers? There are other workers within hearing who go to bed at 2 and are not ready to rise at 5.
