Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently

stories were listened to with much de-
light. says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with a great deal of interest:
When & very small boy he asked his
father to let him 60 with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tel the folks what happened.
In thyse days the church was sup
ported by a tax on every property
holder. Whatever of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article In the
town warrant called for the removal
Of the sounding board from owe the
pastors head. since it acted as an ex-
tinguisher, and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
Mr.. Flagg got up and said, In his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator, l

IMPROVED TRAIN LIGHTING.
Vibration Caused by Electric Motors
In Baggage Cars to Be Overcome.

Vibration in passenger trains from
high speed electric lighting engines
was the subject of an interesting
paper presented at the meeting In
Chicago Of the Western Society Of
Engineer, by i. W, Huels, of the de.
partment of electrical engineering in
tho University Of Wisconsin. The
paper gave the results of the vibra.
ton produced by the re~ciprocating
action of high speed engines used for
generating electricity for the light.
ing Of railway cars. The tests were
made TO demonstrate the extent 10
which these unpleasant vibrations are
transmitted back into the train, BY
means of a specially designed seismo.
graph which he constructed, Mr..
Huels was able to get accurate records
Of the exact amount and character of
the vibration caused b. the electric
lighting engine in the baggage ear,
The investigation shows that 1t is

annoyance 10 passengers, especially
when the train Is not in motion. The
substitution of scan turbines for the
"reciprocating engines in the train
lighting field was shown by Mr.. Huels
TO be the best solution Of the problem.

New York.-Freight handlers OF
the West Shore and New York Cen
trail railroads held a meeting and
voted to make demands for an In
crease in wages, according to an an
nouncement made. A committee was
appointed to interview the officials
OF the TWO roads.
Ch~icago.-Four Of the striking
Kosher bakers charged with throw.
ing kerosene, carbolic acid. and other
poisons on "nonunion bread, were held
to the criminal court on the charge OF
conspiracy. They were Jacob Nossian,
Kohlman Lundy, Jacob Cohen and
Paul Notloff. The men are accused of
following wagons delivering bread In
the Ghetto and destroying the bread.
Berlin.-The number of unionists in
Germany increased from 1,466,625 in
December, 1905, to 1,S22,343 in Decem-
Der, 1906, an increase of nearly rs
per cent. in the 70 months. The Teu.
tonic countries still lead in unionism.
Great Britain has more than doubled
the number Of unionists in France.
Australia and Denmark have larger
numbers of unionists than Hungary
or Spain, both Of larger population.
City of Mexico.-Thirty strikers
were killed and we so wounded by
government troops at Orizaba In re-
storing order. The rest of the strikers
have escaped to the mountains, and
are now being hunted by the troops
and-gefaaTfhes. The value of the
property destroyed by the rioters is
conservatively estimated at $780,
900. 1t belonged to Eduardo Garcia,
a citizen of France. The strikers have
also killed two Spanish subjects, and
it is feared that this outrage will de-
yelop into an International affair.

New York.-Fourth Vice President
Wilson, of the International Associa-

with the local officers, said that there
had been more advances in wages and
fewer strikes during 1906 than In any
preceding year. Advances In wages"
said he, have been received by. u.s..
600 machinists throughout this year
without strikes which will aggregate
$4,000 900 a year in wage advances.
The advances were principally on the
part of the railroad companies, but
there has been a general tendency to
advance wages" A referendum vote
will be taken In February on the ques-
