A "CORKSCREW" FLYER
Ruts and Road to Give Fast Service Over the
Chatham Division.


During the early summer the Rutland
railroad which Is now part OF the
Nsw YORK. @ ntral sys EN-, will in
augurate fast passenger train service
between Montreal and New York by
way OF the Chatham division OF the
Rutland road aud the Harlem railroad
says the Troy Times. The distance is
shorter than by way OF Troy and AL.
bany, the fare will be less and the
time considerably shorter. II is said
the average speed OF the train will be
about AZ miles an hour, including
stops. The present plan Is for the
south bound train 10 reach Bennington
about noon and to change locomotives
at that point.
This contemplated Inauguration OF q
fast through passenger service between
Montreal and New York by the way
OF bennington has been the dream OF
every management OF the old Lebanon
Springs railroad or its half dozen ali.
ases, now known as the Chatham div.
ision OF the Rutland system.
The principal drawback 10 a first
class through train service was the
poor physical condition OF the road
and the want OF funds to put II 10 good
repair. Since the New York Central,
however, secured possession OF the
Chatham division, which Is 81 miles
long, more than 20 miles OF the road
bed have been raised thirteen inches,
new ties and much new iron have been
provided and the bridges and culverts
placed Ia good repair.

FROM CIRCUS WAGON
TO TROLLEY CAF
Benjamin Wallace Enters New
Field.
HE Is WIDELY KNOWN.

South Bend. Ind, Dec. 14-From the
2littering circus wagon to the trolley
car is not such a far cry-at least Ben
jamin +. Wallace of Peru. the we'll
known owner of one OF the big tented
shows of the country. doesn't think so.
He, with Jerome Herff and Harry Mas
ters, also of Peru. are at the head of a
project to build an electric railway be
tween South Bend and Peru
These three men. who are known to
have done things, are quietly working
to force this move to the front and
from all Indications it will be an ulti-
mate success.
The proposed line is to pass through
Rochester, Argos and Plymouth and
will be operated in connection with the
Indianapolis and Peru branch of the
Union Traction company when con-
structed.
Mr.. Wallace is doubtless one of the
most widely known men in the coun-
try. His name has appeared on every
bill board and dead wall where circus
posters are pasted. The fact that he.
Herff and Masters are financially well
off and have good backing gives people
Of this and the other cities effective as
suranCe that the line will be built.

THIRTY VARS
A Slave to Coffee.

Many persons do not realize that
coffee drinking may become a power
full, enslavinng habit.
They are not all aware that coffee
contains a drug - caffeine which
ought never to be taken into the svs
tenn except for certain diseases and
then only when prescribed by the doc
tor.
The coffee habit grows on most
users and is more harmful to some
than others. But a drug that acts
upon the heart and nerves in the way
caffeine does. is not without greater
or less harm to all who drink coffee

Woman and She Then De-
Cided to Act for Them.

Pittsburg, Dec. IA woman's sym
pathetic heart coupled with her ability
to accomplish her purposes has solved
the distressing problem of the thou
sand children who have been made or
phans by the mine explosion at Mon
ongah, in which several hundred lives
went out
The woman is Mrs. Clarence W.
Watson, wife of the president of the
Fairmont Coal Company which owns
the property in which the calamity
happened. She is social leader in
Baltimore and New York, but since the
explosion she has demonstrated that
she can be notable for other things be-
sides driving fine horses for prizes in
show rings and planning cOtillOns.
Acting on Mrs. WatSOn'S sugges ton
her husband came to Pittsburg today
to make contracts for the erection Of
a $4,000 asylum for the homeless lit
tie ones at Monongah Mr.. Watson said
that it was the one practical sugges-
ton which had come to him or any of
the members of the Fairmont Com
pany. How to care for the children Of
the explosion victims has been and
will be a problem until Mrs. Watson s
home for them is built. Several hun
dred of them have already been placed
in the Roman Catholic orphanages at
Wheeling and Fairmont, but these in
stitutions cannot accommodate any
more.
The day of the explosion Mrs. Wat
son hurried to Monongah with her
husband She plunged into the work
of relief with her heart open for the
suffering and destitute. In a few hours
she was recognized as good spirit Of
the place Wherever she goes in the
stricken town she carries light with
her.
1t was the children who made spe-
cial plea to her sympathy. Their hell
lessness, their absolute dependence
overwhelmed her. After the first cOu-
pie of days she went to her husband
and demanded that he do something.
He was at loss and asked her for her
suggestions. She said that the one
thing for him and his company to do
was build All asylum for the little
ones
Bishop Donoghue, Of the Wheeling
district has been at Monongah leading
in the relief work, and Mrs. Watson
has been perhaps, his most able as
sistant

WHAT WAS, AND WAS NOT DONE BY THE LATE GRAND JURY
Is
Councils ms Breach Many

The October grand jury, Friday aft
ernoon made complete report to
Judge Henry c. Fox of the Wayne cir
cult court, in which action taken on
many of the questions which have been
brought before the people in the past
few months was explained and opin-
ions given. The report in full follows:
To the Honorable Henry c. Fox, sole
Judge of the Wayne Circuit Court:
Your grand jury for the October
term begs leave to report In this, to-
Of October, 1907, it met on that and
the following day, when it adjourned
to November 9th, meeting on that day.
adjOurning to November 18th, aud

month, in all, sixteen days.
Should Have New Jail.
buI Ing It's tOlI0lucl alum - tdSSS
have been investigated, II indictments
returned and 1872 witnesses examined.
During the term Of it's meeting the
grand jury has visited the county farm,
the county Jail and the woman's pris-
on. Taking up these institutions in
reference to the county Jail, it finds
that the present Jail is most unsanita-
ry. it's ventilation is very poor and es-
pecially so the padded cell as provided
for the insane, which has no ventila-
ton whatsoever. And it is the Opin-
ion of this grand jury that new jail
should be constructed by this county
along modern ideas and modern meth
DDS: the unfOrtunates of community
who, either for their own protection or
the protection of society must be con-
fined therein, are yet human and
Wayne county has not yet reached the
point, but that these people should be
treated as such. This Is especially SO
in reference to the insane who must
from time to time be committed there
in for the protection Of both person
and property. At present they are,
from necessity, compelled to accept the
same food and the same accommOda-
ton. besides being subjected to ill
treatment. taunts and vulgarities from
criminals who are at the same time
occupants Of the same quarters. 1t is

Hard on BeRHars.

The philanthropist. handing the beg
gar dime, said:
THE world is in a bad enough way
dear knows. but I am not one Of those
men who say that it goes back instead
of forward. Take your case for in
stance. You are practically unmolest-
ed. aren't you? A few months is the
most you ever get for begging. And
do you know what would have been
done to you in the fifteenth century :?
The first time they caught you begging
they'd have whipped you at the carts
tail. The second time they'd have slit
your right ear and bored hole in your
left ear with hot iron. Catching you
q third time. they'd have put you to
death as a felon."
Gee" said the beggar. who'd "a
thunk it?"-New York Press
