ELECTRIC "wHIP" A.sUcCEss.
New Device Tested at Chicago and
BaIky Horses Cease TO Be
stubborn. IL

An electric whip, the invention of j.
A. Giles, of Elberon, Ca, was given a
successful test at the stock yards at
Chicago the other morning. Mr.. Giles
device consists essentially of small
battery. which is placed in the wagon
and from which wires run along the
shafts to small copper plates fixed in
the saddles of the harness. When it is
desired to spur the animals to greater
effort 1t is only necessary to touch a
button and every horse feels the shock
at the same instant
It is Mr.. Giles idea that the invention
will work perfectly on teams containing
a number of horses when it is desired
to have them all start at the same mo-
ment and he contends that it will be
found far superior to the ordinary whip,
which must be applied to each animal
separately.
The first test was made on a horse
which the stable men had been unable to
drive for year The effect of the
whip was instantaneous. the horse
being only too willing to travel. Other
tests were equally successful.

GIVE UP WEED OR SCHOOL.
Ksnosha Principal Says No Smokers
Will BE Admitted TO the
CIass-ROOma.

Kenosha (Wis.) school boys will no
longer use cigarettes. The city principal
of schools has issued an ironclad edict
that all users of cigarettes must be ex-
PEELED from the schools and not allowed
to return until they could give evidence
of reformation. The principal is backed
by the board of education and 1t is ap-
parent that the smokers will have to
give up the weed or the school.
In defending his action Principal Hant-
mill said he had discovered that almost
half the school boys in the city were
users of tobacco and that the state law
against the sale OF cigarettes was no bar
to the boys securing paper pipes The
practice is growing at an alarming rate
and the influence Of the smokers on the
other boys In the school is decidedly
bad. Requests have been treated with
scorn and for this reason the principal
took the decisive step.
Several of the boys have announced
that they will strike IL the rule is en-
forced, but the principal has no fear of
such action and all must quit smoking
or quit school.

AROUND EARTH IN FORTY DAYS
Banker of Cleveland Expects TO Ac-
sOmplish Trip In That
Time

P. NJ Spencer, president of the CIeve-
land (o) national bank, who. above
all things, takes delight in travel. has
under contemplation an attempt to go
around the world In 40 days. The
present record for a complete journey
around the world is "a days and seven
hours, but Mr.. Spencer believes that
the long journey can be accomplished
in little over a month.
The plans of Mr.. Spencer have not
been arranged as to detail, and before
the date of departure is decided upon
every effort will be made to get the
route so laid out that only the unex-
pected will prevent delays. The pro-
posed globe girdler is now in COM
munication with persons in different
parts OF the world. and the course of
the journey is being gradually put into
shape.
AS has been the case with all persons
who have tried to circle the. world in
record time. Mr.. Spencer anticipates
that the most difficult part of the whirl
will be through parts of Russia. If
he can make good connections in Rus
STA he does not see anything in the
way OF an accomplishment of the trip
in 40 days.
The particular point where II will be
necessary to have previous arrange
ments for quick connections will be at
Vladiyostock. Russia, at the eastern
terminus of the Trans-Siberian rail-
way. II is at this point chat steamer
connections are made for Yokohama,
Japan. With good luck in the matter
of connections it is roughly figured
that the trip can be made from this
city to Moscow, Russia. in eight
days; Moscow to VladisvostolI. II
days; VladivostolI to Nicho. two DAYS;
Nicho to Yokohama. half dav; Yo-
toharra 10 San Francisco. 70 DAYS. and
San Francisco to Cleveland. Az DAYS.
IF this schedule can be adhered to the
trip will be made in a little over 80
days, and all records badly broken.

PREACHER AND FIGHTER.
California Divine Teaches a Notori-
ors Bully "a sunday Lesson.


ors Bully "a sunday Lesson.
Rev. Stanley Wilson, of Ramona, Cal,
is perhaps the only clergyman in the
country who has record of preaching
a sermon and thrashing n bully all in
the same Sunday forenoon, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Mr.. Wilson is an
athletic young man, being considered
the best boxer in the mountain region
of his county, and in addition 10 rid
ing the circuit embracing the various
hamlets in the hills is editor of the
Ramona Sentinel. He preached the
other morning In the little Baptist
church that stands among the pines
of the hills back of Julian. After his
sermon Mr.. Wilson was nccosted on the
streets by Dave Putnam, bully, who
has been in many scrapcs, who demand
ed n retraction OF n certain item that
lately appeared in the Ramona Sentinel
rejecting on himself
did you write that article about
me9" asked Putnam.
81 am responsible for II, If did not
write it," replied the preacher.
well, II you are responsible for
it. take that" said Putnam, striking at
the eloquent young parson.
The blow failed to land. The par
son sailed into the miner, and they
clinched. Then the dust of the streets
arose in cloud. The miners gathered
around and cheered the preacher to the
echo Within five minutes Putnam was
knocked out ard the preacher was calm
ly busting Off his plug hat
Even before this occurred Mr.. Will
son did not lack popularity, but since
then his stock has gone up hundred
fold. Putnam has been laughed out of
the county.
