The long day wanes, the fog shuts down,
The eave-trough spouts and sputters;
The rain signs through the huddled town
And mumbles in the cutters. ;.
The emptied thoroughfares become
Long streams of eery light;
They issue from the mist and, dumb,
Flow onward out of sight.
The snarling trolley grumbles past,
Its swapping wire CLOVIS;
Again where yon pale light is cast
The hackman's horses doze.
IA vain the bargain windows wink,
The passers-by are few
The grim walls stretch away and shrink
In dull electric blue.
stranger hurries down the street,
Hat dripping, face aglow;

For oh, far over hills and dells
The cows come up the lane,
With steaming TANKS and fog-dulled bells
A-tinkle in the rain.

pleased to see her, and Myrtle saw no
reason why she could not be polite and

from horrible death a few days be-

Myrtle was surprised to find it was

shook hands and parted.

Lemoine's Diamond Formula.

Discussion still continues in Euro
pean papers concerning the case of
NJ. Lemoine, the alleged diamond
maker of Paris, whom Sir Julius Wern-
her of the De Beers Mining company
recently prosecuted on the charge of
swindling him. out of $4,000 in con-
nection with the financing Of a com
pany to exploit Lemoine's artificial dia-
mond formula. Since Lemoine's arrest
it has come out that he did not con-
fine his operations to Wernher, but
sold q half interest in his secret to one
Edgar Cohen, a London capitalist, who
has made public the formula attached
to the contract drawn at the time of
his investment. The main points of
this formula are the heating of a mix
ture of iron, thirty parts; boron, fifty
i've parts, and animal charcoal, fifteen
parts, in an electrical furnace heated
to a temperature Of 1000 degrees. A
current Of carbonic acid gas is turned
on at the same time to drive out the
oxygen. Diamond makers and chem
lists appear to be skeptical about the
genuineness of this formula.

old and languishing tunnel charter and
to whom credit is given for the fnanc-
ing and management of the great ell
terprise, had wired the president, "The
first official train of the Manhattan and
Hudson Railroad company under the
Hudson river awaits your signal and
pleasure" McAdoo then stood by the
motorman while the train made the
trip to Hoboken in ten minutes. In
Hoboken exercises were held to com
plete the transfer of the tunnel to the
operating company by the underwrit-
ing company. Later the occasion was
celebrated with a banquet at Sherry's.
The estimated cost of the system when
completed is $7O,OO0,O0O. The Erie and
Pennsylvania stations in Jersey City
will be connected by the lower pair of
tubes to the downtown terminals at
Dey street. thence connecting with the
present subway system, while the
Sixth avenue line will run to Thirty

tunnel terminal and a spur across
Eighth street connecting with the sub

Regular trains began running at mid
night. They are composed Of eight all
steel cars. with side door ENTRANCES,
and are run on three minute Roadway
during the rush hours. Actual time of
crossing under the bed Of the river is
three minutes and the distance a mile
and a quarter. At the center or state
line the tubes are ninety-five feet under
the surface of the river and sixty feet
deep in the silt or ooze Of the bottom.
The Railroad Wage Issue.
The negotiations between the officers
and employees Of the Southern railway
in respect to a reduction of wages final
~ resulted in the statement from Presi-
dent Finley that the employees had
rejected the proposed reduction and
that the management, not wishing to
act in an arbitrary way, had requested
the chairman Of the interstate COM
merce commission to mediate between
them under the provisions of the Erd-
man law.
Owing to the opposition of Judge
Pritchard to the proposed reduction in
the wages Of employees of the Sea-
board Air Line, the receivers of that
company, who were appointed by
Pritchard, have abandoned the plan.
The railroad commission Of Georgia
has ordered all common carriers which
contemplate wage reductions to notify
It, with the figures and the reasons for
such cuts, thus deferring action until
the commission is satisfied.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has asked a general conference
with seventeen southern railroads re-
garding the 10 per cent cut in wages to
be made on March 1.

important to breed good men than fast

he became governor the first thing he
did was to recommend the repeating Of
the law licensing gambling at the state
fair. which was done three years ago.
Since that time, he said, there had been
more fine horses raised in Missouri
without the gambling feature than
when horse racing was licensed. Stock
and grain gambling was also under
the ban of this era of conscience and
would have to go next. The era of
conscience demanded the same stand

TO Improve Factory Conditions.

Pierpont Morgan, and several other
wealthy society women are leading a
movement intended to be of national
scope, to improve the condition of
working women and men in large
cities. To this end they have volun-
tarily assumed the duty of factory in
spectors in New York city and vicinity,
examining closely into the hygienic
and social conditions prevailing. The
purpose so far developed is not to
remedy existing conditions by influence
ing legislation, but to work by private
influence OH the individual manufac-
turing firms in whose workshops are
found abuses or unsatisfactory condi-
lions.
