Thirty-f five Days From Atchison to-
California and Fare $500.
DAYS OF STAGE COACH
Some Of the Dangers and Hardships in
Travelling on the Plains.

"Atchison to California in 35
days; fare only 5000 in gold"
This was the heading of an old
handbill, yellow with age, which
a traveller laid upon the counter
in railway ticket office the other
day. 1t was an advertisement,
notes the Kansas City Star, of a
line Of stage coaches that ran
from Atchison, Kansas, to San
Francisco during the gold excite
ment of years ago.
People seldom stop to think
what their poor ancestors had to
put up with so years ago." the
man said. He was comparing
the old time table with modern
railway time table, which told of
the lllxuries one could have by
travelling on that road. No dust;
no jsrfing and all the other dis
agreeable features eliminated.
The old time table was a double
sheet of paper, torn and yellow
with age. It was issued by the
Atchison and California stage
coach line in 1857. The induce
ments it held forth were in
strange contrast with those Of
the modern railroad advertise
ment. The stage coach line adj
vertised that it had recently re-
furnished the entire road" with
absolutely new wagonettes, and
it told what kind of coaches they
were, how the springs were made
and of what strength they were:
1t even said that the coaches
were painted in the 'best man.
ner possible. The horses that
drew the coaches were described,
too, as the best.
An inducement that was held
out on the time table to prospec-
tive passengers was a stop-over
privilege. =.
Passengers who had paid
their entire fare from Atchisof
or other points to their destina-
tion," the paper said, may
register with our agents. A
stop-over privilege is then given
for any place on the road
The time of the stop-over was
unlimited. The time table pro-
vided that a passenger might re-
sumo the journey whenever there
was an empty seat in the stage
coach.
1--WE make quicker time to Cal
ifornia than any other stage,
coach line and at a cheaper rate, "
the pamphlet stated. 1t went on
to say that for 5000 a person
could ride all the way from Atchi-'
son, Kansas, to the gold fields of
California. :.
"The distance is 1918 miles, "
was stated on the time table; the
longest distance ever attempted
by a stage coach line. Atchison

! A boast was made that there
were IL telegraph stations on the
road to California and that eating
places had been established along
the road where good meals could
be had at the nominal price of

WHAT OTHERS
ARE SAYING
Papers On Outside Expect a
Boom to Follow Sale Of
the Buster Mine.

Sites Herald: The sale Of the Buster
mine at Elk City last week for close to
$500, 1000 has drawn the attention of the
entire northwest to that district, and
both mining and commercial men are
heading that way. When such men as
the Bradley aggregation become inter-
ested in the district to that extent it
indicates that there is Something there,
and it seems safe to say that the Idaho
county mining industry is facing won
derful future. Thomas F. Greenough,
the well known Coeur d. Alene mining
man, passed through town Wednesday
evening enroute to Elk City to look
over the country, and Speedy Swift and
P. E. Cohn, the popular Spokane travel
ing salesman, also went into Elk to look
up business.

sEEDLEss TOMATOES.

Since 1899 Prof. Halsted of New ter sey has been giving some attention to seedless tomatoes. At the very start the fruit was large and was called the Giant. The variety seems to be well fixed and the flavor is excellent. The fruits, however, are becoming smaller.
 In the case of another hybrid some o fthe fruits in each cluster do not attain a size larger than peas, but they go through the regular stages of rip ening and remain seedless. Prof. Hal sted has also obtained seedless fruits from several other crosses, showing that this is quite a common phenomen on in the breeding of tomatoes. In some eases the flavor has been pro- nounced more like that of a straw berry.
 Recently Prof. Sandsten of Wiscon- sin has demonstrated that the use of excessive quantities of fertilizers ex- ereise a truly remarkable effect upon tomato plants. It appears, says Coun- try Life in America, that the plants react differently to overlooking. Some are dwarfed some greatly elongated, some lie flat upon. the ground and in many flowers and fruits are very ab- normal.

they have devoted fifty volumes to slandering the French woman.
 Some claim to be psychologists, others sociologists, one is a director of consciences, another a leader of peo- pies; they are nothing but traf1ckers in filth. Their work brings wealth, but they ruin Frances reputation through out the world. And since France hon ors them. the stranger is to be ex- eused for giving faith to their testi- mony."
 M. Gohier finishes with the hope that the misunderstanding may be done away with and that foreigners will re- cognize the French woman as she really is-eheerful, bright, lively, pleasing and charming.
 All of this has but limited truth. M. Confer says that it is foreigners who molest women in the streets of Paris, but he does not prove it.
 It is true that women cannot walk unescorted without being annoyed. even in the afternoon. but the men who annoy them are certainly not al- ways foreigners. His attack on French writers contains some truth, but not all the truth, as it is hard to believe that even brilliant authors could in- jure the fame of French women throughout the world if their descrip- tions had no foundation.

MAGAZINE FOR THE BLIND.

Mrs. ziegler's Philanthropy Has Only
 One Parallel Among the World s
 Publications.
 The Ziegler Magazine for the Blind, the first publication of it's kind in this country and the second one in the world, has just come from the press. It is now being sent to tle sightless in America through the benevolence of Mrs. William Ziegler, widow of the packer of several Arctic expeditions, who has donated the funds to carry cut the enterprise. It is estimated that the cost of the magazine to Mrs. Ziegler will be $TO,0G0 a year. It is more bulky than the ordinary publica- ton, and is 12x13 inches, comprises fifty sheets and weighs almost one pound, The sheets are printed only on one side. They are very thick, since the characters cinsisting of raised dots and dashes have to be first made on a metal plate and then reproduced on the paper. The BraIle system of type is used.
 Much care has been taken by Wal ter G. Holmes, the editor in compil- ing the magazine. Many poems and stories have to be omitted because they deal with the sense of sight. All lusions to moonbeams., starlight, rain bows, clouds and beautiful scenery may not be printed, as they serve to emphasize to the readers the sense oi their affiction.
 Over 10000 copies of the first issue have been printed. Of this number 6, 900 have already been sent to blind readers among the general public. The remainder will be distributed among the students now in schools for tfle blind. The magazine contains no ad- vertising and is absolutely free.
 In addition to stories, poems and current news, the first number con. tains a map of the Panama Canal showing, by means of raised charact- CTS, the location of North and SoutF America, Cuba and the Isthmus. Some of the points on the map are marked with only dots representing the frs letter of tine name but in the margir , the name is spelled out. The numbei also contains letter from Presiden Roosevelt to Mrs. Ziegler, q letter from Helen Keller to Mrs. ziegler, and tht first installmet of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,' which will run as : serial

PAR1s1AN WOMEN DEFENDED.
French Writer Says Foreigners Molest
 Them in the Streets.


 M. Urbain Gohier appeals in the Matin to the men of all nations who visit Paris to respect the women they may meet there. He bases his appeal on a case in court in which a Magist- rate in sentencing a man for thrusting his attentions on a woman he met in the street that the accused, a stranger in Paris, had come to Paris with the preconceived idea that no woman among. all he might meet in the streets was likely to repel his advances"
 This preconceived idea M. Confer finds very widespread. Women from other countries complain they cannot walk about Paris without being mo- tested; that they are not respected as they are at home
 The fault lies with their own broth CTS and husbands, who take liberties in Paris they would not think of at home; M Confer says. In support of this contention he declares that last summer at the seaside Americans, Germans, Russians and other foreign CTS habitually passed their afternoons clad in nothing but linen trousers and jersey, making a display of their anatomy before women, girls and children. At home they behave decent ly; here they think anything will do, he remarks.
 Mir. Confer then proceeds to trace the origin of this "preconcieved idea"
 ''Why does foreigner come to Paris expecting to meet no women but those who will prove easy conquests? ?" he asks. For assuredIy it is with this expectation that he comes. The gaucho in the Pampas, the cowboy in the prairie, the prospector, the miner, the farmer in the depths of the Trans vaal, .Klondike or Australia, the busi- ness men of every Chicago, each dreams of Paris, not for the courses of the Sorbonne not for the picture galleries, but for the women whom he knows to be captivating and believes to be of easy virtue, What is his be- lief founded upon?
 First of all on the story writers, and not merely on the authors who write for export only and are unknown in France, but on authors known as great writers members of the Academy, present or fture, or men whose re- will be taken to the Pantheon because

Crack Mitt Artists Engaged for the
 Contests.
 The Eagles smoker to be held in the New Haven theater this evening will bring together as the main bout, Bun ny Ford of New Haven, and Jimmy Murray of New York, for ten rounds. The wise heads are predicting knockout for the local mitt pusher bas- ing their predictions on the showing made by Murray against Jeff O'Connell in the recent A. 0. H. bouts.
 Certain it is, Murray has the punch, and is clever, Ford is undeyoloped as far as cleverness goes, but is strong and husky and may be able to go the limit The bout should be a good one anyway.
 In the preliminary events Harry Loetz of New York, and Fred O'Brien of Boston, will clash ten rounds, the curtain raiser shows Connie Mack and Young Murphy, both of New Haven for six rounds.

DARTMOUTH BREAKS WITH WILL
 HAMS

L1AMS,
 Hanover, N. H., March 1S.-The Dart mouth athletic council to-day voted to suspend all athletic relations with Will Hams as a result of trouble at a bask- etball game on March at Williams town, which decided the New England Intercollegiate championship in favor of Williams.
 The decision of the Dartmouth ooun- ell will mean the cancellation of the two baseball games this spring and the football game next fall unless the quarrel is settled.
 The basketball game. on the Sth was hotly contested, and in the first half Lang, the Dartmouth center, was dis qualified for foullng his opponent, Wa ters. According to the Dartmouth men, Waters attacked Lang, called him sev- eral names and struck him in the face, Lang retaliating by knocking Waters down. It is said that many Williams students then rushed onto the floor, but were forced to resume their seats There was considerable ill-feeling over the result of the game, and the Dart mouth athletic council at once began an investigation. The decision to-day was in the form of formal vote as follows:
 That the attack of the student body of Williams upon the Dartmouth bas- ketball team at the recent game at Will ! liamstown, coming as q continuation of frequent friction in the mutual rela- tions, makes the condition of the rival ry sucll as to make the continuance of athletic relations between the two col- 1 leges inadvisable"
