SHORTAGE HAS ARRIVED.

The threatened car shortage, against
which the railroads have been fight
ing for several months, has arrived
and business in all traffic centers is
more or less affected by it. 1t is said
that the New York Central lines west
Of Buffalo are now 1000 cars short of
filling the orders, and it is no exagger-
alton to say that if the New York Cen
trail lines had 10000 cars more than
now at this time available they could
use them to advantage.
In view Of the present demand for
cars in many lines Of business the
pessimistic statements Of some Of the
railway managers are greatly discount
ed by others who take more hopeful
view Of the future. There seems to
be a shortage in all lines of cars which
is unusual SO early in the season.
On account Of the freight car short
age in the Pittsburg district, instruc-
tons have been sent to division Off
Gals of the roads centering there that
the cars are not to leave the home
line except in cases where it is absO-
lutely necessary. Among the COM
plainants are vessel owners, who are
also complaining of the shortage Of
cars and the inability of railroads to
handle the business.

DEFECTS IN THE LAWS.

The attempt on the life of DR.. Henry
Buchtel, governor Of Colorado, calls
attention to several serious defects in
the laws of our country. The young
man who made the attempt to dyna-
mite Governor Buchtel can give no sat
isfactory reason for hrs action and the
general impression is that he was SIM
ply seeking notoriety. The governor
received a box containing dynamite so
contrived that an explosion would oc-
cur when an attempt was made to open
the lid of the box. The attempt was
frustrated by the care of the COVER
nor's secretary. The young man also
made an attempt to blow up a well
known gambling king in Denver by Sc
creting about fifty sticks of dynamite
near his house already to be exploded
by a fuse One of the most serious
things to the whole affair is where this
murderously inclined man obtained his
supply of dynamite. There are sup
posed to be laws governing the sale of
dynamite and yet it is we'll known they
are but laxly executed, as is shown by
the great number of successful and at
tempted dynamite outrages that occur
every year. The precautions sur
rounding the sale of dynamite should
be such as to absolutely prevent its get

sale of dynamite the only one that

striction surrounding the sale of re-
volvers and we fell that thereby a
great evil has been committed against
the country. The sale of revolvers
should be restricted. European coun-
tries do SO and as a result the number
of homicides is practically nothing
abroad compared to what they are in
this country. The average American
citizen has very little use for revolv-
er. depending more on his fists to take
care of himself. Those, however, who
do carry revolvers have TO conceal
them about their persons which action
in itself. being an infraction Of the
law, shows a more or less sneaking
and cowardly disposition that fully
bursts forth when the revolver is used,
other than in self defense, and a fell
low being lies dead. To prevent this
annual sacrifice of life should become
the duty Of the national government.
Restrict the sale of reyolvers on the
principle that an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.

PARTIES ON THE WAY.

w. w. Atterbury, general manager of
the Pennsylvania lines east. with
about 300 members of his staff of oper-
ating officials has started on the annu-
al inspection of the main line from
Pittsburg to Jersey City. They are
travelling in five special trains. The
run yesterday was scheduled from
Jersey City to Harrisburg, and that of
today will be from Harrisburg to Pitts
burg.
George L. Peck, general manager of
the Pennsylvania lines west, with 200
members of his operating staff, will be-
gin an inspection of the lines west OF
Pittsburg, Wednesday, Oct. 81. They
will travel in several special trains.
and their objective points will include
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chicago and pos
sibly Toledo. The trip will occupy
about five days.
Following the inspection will be the
announcement of the award of s5.4OO

PRACTICE is FORBIDDEN.
PARTIES ARE NOW
ON THEIR WAY ON THE PENN.
SYLVANIA LINES BOTH EAST
AND WEST.

Many of the local manufacturers and
large shippers are very much displeas-
ed with the new rule of some of the
railroad companies in the Middle West
which eliminates the practice of tack
ing advertisements upon the box cars.
The railroads, it is asserted are not op-
posed to giving their patrons all the
free advertising possible but do object
to the defacing of rolling stock and
putting the railroad employees to the
extra task of removing the placaris
and fasteners after the cars are un-
loaded. Although those who are
unacquainted with this mode of adver-
Using, may not think that it is a pay
ing proposition, local manufacturers
say that it is. Those concerns which
ship large quantities of their output
all over the United States get more re-
suits from box car advertising than
others. Invariably the eyes of people
along a railroad are fastened to fam
ing advertisements on cars as they
pass and manufacturers say results in

WOMEN AS TRAVELLERS.

Attention has been called locally to
the great number of women who now
travel on the trains unaccompanied,
and some have expressed great won
der thereat. AS matter of fact there
is nothing to wonder at as every pre-
caution has been taken to surround
such travelling women with safe
guards of the highest order. Our
trainmen and conductors are gentle
men and as such women unaccompan-
led travelling on their trains are I'M
der the protection every American
gentleman will accord his woman
kind. Furthermore special precautions
have been taken for the safety of
young women travelling alone. At the
stations in all our large cities all
trains are met by representatives of
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation and are provided with quarters
and protection during their stay in
case they have no relatives or friends
to visit.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO NEGROES.

G.. F. Richings has brought encour-
agement to the negroes of Richmond
and has given them some words Of
good advice which, if followed, can
tainments. The sum and substance
of Mr.. Richings's address was that the
negroes must rely upon themselves for
their moral and, we might say, mate
rial advancement. Now contrary 10
most all negroes want to progress and
become worth more to themselves and
the manner of Booker T. Washington
by hard work in the paths of learning
and observation. Others believe the
acme Of progression can be reached
at one bound as it witnessed by those
negroes who attempt to dress and act
like white people. The only trouble
with this latter class of negroes is that

whites. They generally take as their
models some of our loud and over
dressed no-accounts and, having such
patterns, it is no wonder they often go
astray. Primarily, however, the mis-
take this initiating class of negroes
make is in initiating at all. They
learn nothing lasting by imitation and
much that is bad. Experience has
proven to be the best teacher the white
man ever had and there is no reason
to doubt it will prove just as good for
the negro. To doubt there is flu
ture ahead of the negro is to doubt
God, for God made the negro just
the same as he did the white man.
And just as the white man has had to
struggle for everything he knows and
everything he possesses, so will the ne
gro. From the hard knocks admins
tired along the royal road of learning
and material advancement only can the
negro hope to attain to higher things
and then remain secure in that attain
ment.

PROGRESSIVE cENTERviLLE.

Our sister city, Centerville, shows 4
progressive spirit that entities it to our
sincerest congratulations. Centerville
is now busy preparing for new light
ing plant, another step in the spirit IF
advancement that has marked that city
during the past years. In line with
the public improvement spirit Center
Vile already has we'll built cement
sidewalks and cutters fronting we'll
built houses and we'll kept lawns. The
little city has, in other words, all the
outward appearances of the substan-
tial character of it's citizens. 1t might
naturally be thought that Centerville's
nearness would have proved a draw
back as far as the advancement of the
city was concerned, but the reverse has
been true. Centerville's nearness to
Richmond, together with the splendid
transportation facilities provided by
the interurban line, has proved to be a
benefit. Today many young Center
vile citizens take advantage of posi-
tions afforded In Richmond to work
here and live in Centerville. In fact
men even come to Richmond from the
farms around Centerville to work, 60
ing to and from work on the interur-
bans. This condition, as can readily
be seen. has given Centerville the ad.
vantage Of a greatly increased earning
power as a community.

The following is the item from
Hazleton, Pa, Sentinel:
''The use of profane words seems
to grow, particularly SO among the
youths of the different towns. 1t is
a vile habit that grows upon them,
but the surprising thing is they use
il more when in company with youths
of their own age, evidently having
it in mind that they cannot be manly
without resorting to profanity. There
is n strict law against profanity
that is not generally known, which
is as follows:
If any person shall wilfully,
premediatedly and despitefully
blaspheme or speak loosely and pro-
fanely of Almighty God, Christ Jesus.
the Holy Spirit, or the Scriptures of
Truth-such person on conviction
thereof shall be sentenced to pay fine
not exceeding 800, and undergo an
Imprisonment not exceeding three
months, or either at the discretion of
the Court. Act of March 81, 1860.
THAT would indicate that all vile
oaths we must hear daily are as illegal
as they are ugly"
