ADIRONDACKS EASY TO GET 10,
But Here's what BefeIi Some Folks Trying
10 Get Back.

Old FORGE, N. Y, Aug. li.-About $50
excirsionists who came here to-day from
Syracuse and Utica to make trip Of the
Fulton Chain OF Lakes had the time OF
their lives tonight in getting home. Some
OF them are still here.
The train left Syracuse at S o'clock this
morning and when It pulled out OF Utica
IL was loaded to the gunwales. On the
way up the lakes the boat got stuck in
the channel and a delay Of an hour resulted.
When the party was about to board the
train here for home q report reached them
that tho locomotive OF the little railroad
that runs from Old Forge to Fulton Chain,
which had gone ahead to switch, had been
derailed and that the single track had been
completely blocked.
The excursionists piled out OF tho cars
and made a rush on the Forge House for
food and rooms The hotel was crowded,
but many succeeded in getting dinner.
They camped on lawns until it was an
nounced that a special train would take
them to Utica and Syracuse from Fulton
Chain. A rush was then made for the only
busses doing business, and they were soon
full TO the top.
Those who could not get aboard were
forced TO walk the two miles TO Fulton
Chain. They started out two abreast sing
ing songs and indulging in all sorts OF
pranks. The track was not cleared until
after midnight.

SUE TO MAKE TOWN SELL DRINK

ATLANTA. Aug. Ii-Grabfelder 4 Co..
distillers, OF Louisville. KY, have filed
suit in the United States Circuit Court pray
ing that the authorities OF the town OF
Barnesville. Pike county. be enjoined from
closing the municipal dispensary before
the State prohibition 'aw. passed by the
present Legislature. goes into effect on
January 1. 1908.
Recently the people OF Pike county voted.
l,24O to SO. 10 abolish the Barnesville dis
pensary, and under the local option law
this would operate 10 close the dispensary
In thirty days.
But Grabfelder h Co. allege that some
months ago they loaned Barnesville $40, 900
for school purposes on contract by which
the town was to buy liquor for the dis
pensary from Grabfelder a Co. and also
to repay the loan at the rate Of 81, 900 a
month. including interest. The distillers
allege that $1,000 is still unpaid and that
il the dspensary is closed in accordance
with the recent vote the town will be de-
prived OF its principal source OF revenue
and will be unable to repay the loan. For
this reason Grabfelder b Co. pray the
Federal court to force the town to continue
in the liquor business untile profit of sl4, 900
has been made. The distillers also ask that
Barnesville be forced to continue to buy
liquor from them. A hearing on the Pc
tition has been fixed for next Thursday.

CUTTING DOWN THE COAL BILLs.
U. o. Experts Gsing to Test Eastern and
Southern Fuels.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE fuel testing
plant Of the United States Geological Survey
will begin on August Is q series OF expert
ments on Eastern, and Southern ooab that
may be OF far reaching importance to the
Government and to the people in general
For two years the plant was in operation
at st. Louis and so astonishing were the
results toward preventing the waste OF
the fuel resources OF the country that Con-
gress ordered tho work continued at Nor
folk. Already the Government experts
connected with the plant have indicated
the possibility Of saving 10 per cent. OF tho
countrys coal bill each year--the sum OF
s4eo, ,OOO. .Ooo-throush increased efficiency
in burning coal Now the fuels Of the East
and South are to be tested under the steam
boiler in the gas producer and gas engines
and by briquetting. in the hope that this
saving may be further demonstrated.
The law under which the fuel testing
plant is TO be operated contemplates two
classes Of work increasing efficiency and
preventing waste In the utilization Of the
fuel resources Of the country and testing
Goals that are used by tho Government.
Perhaps the most important tests will be
those comparing the amount Of power
obtained from q certain amount OF coal
under the steam boiler and In the gas pro-
duoer. The gas enigns has demonstra ted
in former tests. it's ability TO do from two
to nearly three times as much work with a
pound Of coal as the steam engine.
Prof. Robert H. Fernald OF St. Louis,
engineer in charge Of the gas producer
tests, will continue the experiments with
the 235 horsepower gas engines which have
been installed in the plant. The compare
tive utility OF slack Goals, culm. Ignite and
even peat will be determined, for the tests
made will show just what all these poorer
fuels can do.
Prof. l.. P. Breckenridge. engineer in
charge Of the steam engineering division
Of the survey, will endeavor TO increase
the efficiency OF the steam boiler. There
will also be a series OF experiments tending
to show just what is necessary TO burn
Goals without smoke. The results will be
important not only to the Government but
to every city in the country that is fighting
the smoke evil.
A considerable portion OF the fuel testing
plant is 10 be given over to testing fuels
for the navy. and the entire briquetting
plant will be at its service.

SERMON FOR"POLIsHED PAGANS'

Not to ne Mere Dummies.
CHAUTAuouA, Aug. ii.--Many business
men and society women lack religious prin-
ciple and those who are religious must show
1t by their living 20 avoid being called
polished psgans,' Bishop John H. Vincent
said to-day in q sermon at the Chautauqua
Assembly.
Religion should never be accounted OF
les importance than business, said Bishop
Vincent.
1T 10 not necessary to be always talking
about 1t. but IL 10 not good sign when men
who owe all that is best in their lives to our
Christian civilization give no sign Of rever-
ence for Christ and regard for His Church,
but allow even Sabbath days to pass without
rel gious observance. Especially is it i'm
portant that cultivated, refined, the reslly
best society people who make any pro-
fession Of Christianity at all and who pro-
test against being accounted polished
pagans should conform to a religious pro-
gramme OF life.
@Of all the public advertising devices OF
our times perhaps the most pitiful is the
millionaire dummy, with its expreesioDless
features and corpselike pose, an utterly
deaf, dumb and dead thing, wearing the
fashionable gsrb Of the living society OF
the day, having tnab mOuern feature anu
nothing else. Protesting Christians may
he such dummies.
Religious talk may be little else but
cant Religion has no place for morbid.

Many people allow the refinements or
conflicts of life 20 blunt their moral con-
victions. Many business men and society
women have a programme for everything
but the personal spiritual life. We need a
