THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

Fairfax Harrison, vice president OF
the Southern Railway, said yesterday at
his Office in New York that the increased
net esrnings of the road since last March
have not been brought about by econo-
mics IT the expense of the property, in
spite of the fact that the gross earnings
have shown a large falling off. He made
the remarkable statement that for July,
wheu the total operating revenues showed
a decrease of $642, ,672 as compared with
last year, the total operating income for
the month was $1,196, 779, an Increase
of $4O5, 576 over July, 1907.
"Che remarkable showing OF control
of expenses has given rise to comment
suggesting that such results have been
secured at the expense Of the conserva-
tive unkeep of the proptry. This view
is not justified by the iscts," said Mr..
Harrison, "Not only has the roadbed
been kept up in all respects necessary
ior the safe and prompt movement OF
trairs, but 1t has been materially strength
ened in the past year"

Building Houses in ShOShOne.

After finishing c. F. Borden's five
room dwelling in the south west part of
town, B. F. Peak. the contractor, has
engaged to erect "a six room house in
the southeast part of the city for Joseph
Burbridge, and Fred Gooding is to have
a five room dwelling erected on his
ranch near town, and c. F. Borden is
planning another residence in his quar-
ter of the municipality. So it seems
quite likely that others will take hold of
the building proposition before the sum-
mer is over and round out the season
with enough dwellings to accommodate
those who wish to move here but are not
prepared to build for themselves. A
pressing demand calls for an adequate
supply.

will call bond election to be held as

board to rush the matter of erecting a
school house as rapidly as possible. 1t
IS the belief of the architects that such
a building can be erected so as to be
used for school this winter The open
ing of school may be somewhat delayed
but the friends (?) of the people who
have been obstructing the work of the
formation of the district should be held
responsible for the delay, as they no
doubt will be by those who are familiar
with the facts in the case. The self
constituted friends CD of the people
who have delayed the matter have dis
played such commendable zeal in their
effort to protect (?) the rights (?) of
the people that they should not permit
their modesty to deter them from re-
ceiving their just reward as their neigh
bors kick about the delayed school work
or perhaps their virtue in the matter
will be its own reward

IDAHO WOOL CROP.
Wool Brings a Fair Price on the
Open Market.

Joe Plaisted, travelling freight agent
for the Milwaukee road, and one of the
best informed men in this section of
the state on the wool question. reports
that Idaho should produce and ship be-
tween 16, 900, 900 and 1900, 600 pounds
of wool this season.

said he, perhaps not to exceed l, $50, 900
pounds, most of it in the west part of

with the usual range from low to high
according to the grade. Some wool
was sold at Idaho Falls, for 17is cents
pound, which tops the Idaho market.

is a great change in the markets from
year to year, so that the top-price pro-
duct of one year may not be near the
top another season. Not so very long
ago, the market called for a coarse,
long wool, which made up into the pre-
vailing fashionable cloths. This year,
long staple Merino is at the top, as
best adapted to the manufacture of the
seasons most fashionable goods.

about the average, as well as the price.

WHY TEARS RELIEVE.
Relieve Pressure On Brain Causing
 Numhness.

Paris, June 21.-In La Revue Professor Waynbaum, M. D., publishes some queer facts regarding the nature and purpose of tears, coming to the astonishing con- clusion that tears act upon the human organism Hike chIoroform, ether or alco- hol'
 When a human being gives way to sorrow says Dr. Waynbaum, ''the blood pressure in the brain decreases The tear helps in this process which benumbs the brain, for the time being, causing passive ness of the soul almost approaching in- difference.
 Tears are blood, changing color by their passage through the lachrymal glands. One can drown his sorrow in tears as one can benumb his senses by the use of alcohol or drugs. When per son cries the facial muscles contract and the appearance of the face changes, which action facilitates the white blood letting, driving the blood particles into the lach- rymal gland, from which they issue in the shape of tears.
 Children whose nervous system is particularly tender, derive great benefit from crying occasionally. The act of cry ing relieves their brain. The same may be said with respect to women."
 The professor likewise explains why laughter sometimes produces tears, but the explanation is too technical for re- production.

HYSTERIA BRINGS
 SIGHT TO BLIND
SHOCK OF ANNOUNCEMENT THAT JAMES CANTILLlON WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN RESTORES HIS POWER OF VISION.

New York, June 21.-James Cantillion of Marionette, Wis, who was totally blind, regained his sight at Bellevue hos pital today during a fit of hysteria which followed the surgeons announcement to him that his case was considered hope less and that he would probably remain blind for the remainder of his life.
 Cantillion, who is professional ball player, member of the Des Moines Qa) team and a brother of Joseph Cantillion, manager of the Washington American league team, had had to have his left eye removed as the result of an accident in Chicago several months ago. The sight of the other eye failed from sympathetic affection
 He came to Cornell University Medical college here for treatment and was pre- pairing in Bellevue for an operation. To- day the surgeons decided that an opera tion would be useless and so informed Cantillion, who thereupon became hys- terical Suddenly he cried out that he could see and tests showed that the sight of the right eye had been almost completely restored. The specialists now hope to complete the cure. The hospital surgeons say that Cantilion's loss of sight was undoubtedly due to an affecta- tion of the nervous system and that the hysterial attack he underwent is respon- sible for the restoration.

AUTOMOBILE WRECK
 CLAIMS VICTIMS
J. K. c. AROSEMlNA IS DErr AND SEVERAL OTHERS ARE INJURED. RESULT OF RECKLESS RACING NEAR HEMPSTEAD, L.

New York, June 21.-While endeavor- ing to pass another automobile with which it was racing at high speed today, a big touring car carrying five passengers, ran into a third automobile, which had drawn up alongside the road mile east of Hampstead, L. l., to avoid the racers, and killed one man, J. K. c. Arosemina of New Rochelle, N. r., and injured the occupants of both cars
 MT. Arosemina and his family were out for an afternoon spin, and observing two automobiles, each carrying a large num- Der of persons, approaching in hot race, he directed that his machine be run to the side of the road. As the two fly ing cars swept down the turnpike the driver of the rear car endeavored to take the lead. With a crash this car colided with the standing automobile, and the occupants of both cars were pitched into the roadway. MT. Arosem- ina died shortly after being taken to the Nassau hospital, where two of the in- jured were taken. Their injuries are not believed to be fatal.
 Among the occupants of the touring car were the Dugan brothers, jockeys, both of whom were injured. William J. Dugan was found at the hospital to have badly lacerated face, broken nose and a disocated jaw. Edward Dugan's in juries were slighter, consisting of cuts and bruises Eddie Dugan is considered one of the best riders In the Metropolitan circuit

HAS PATCHWORK SKIN.
Every Nation on Earth Represented in
 Chicago Woman's Make-Up.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Four thousand five hundred bits of skin grafted on her body ten years ago gave Miss Emma Gallagher those fighting qualities which enabled her to win vic- tory over the Singer Sewing Machine company Tuesday, including verdict for $5OO00 damages.
 Every nation on the earth, she declares, is represented in her physical makeup. The crazy-quilt patchwork on the sur face Of her anatomy has not diminished her aggressive nature. It enabled her to stand in competition with other agents of the company so that she doubtless aroused their jealousy She was driven out Of business and commenced the suit.
 In 1896 she was severely burned while cleaning her clothes with benzne. She was taken to St. Elizabeth's hospital, where she remained for two years. Nine teen skin-grafting operations were per formed during that time upon her. and a large number of persons volunteered each time to contribute portions of their skin that the wornans life might be saved. She says that in Hh 4oc0 pieces of skin were grafted upon her. Y
 II think this grating is what made me wir the fight against the company said Miss Gallagher yesterday. You see, it was every nation of the earth that was fighting, and not just Emma Gallagher
 The story of Miss Gallaghers life and methods of making living were told to the jury She told of her struggle to main- tain her business as a sewing machine agent at Wilson avenue under persecution. She is pleased with the result.
 "The grand jury did it for me-" she said. 1T call it a grand Jury because it is made up of grand men, I think Judge Fl. F. Dufne. my attorney Is the best man in Chicago"

TAFT IS UNITARIAN.
His Church at Washington Will Be-
 come Prominent.

Washington, June 21-Secretary Taft is a Unitarian, and he attends church with a reasonable degree of regularity. He Is often seen on Sundays at All Souls church. at Thirteenth and L street north west This is the only Unitarian church in Washington. Should MT. Taft become the next President it will, no doubt, be- come one of the attractions of the copi- tai, just as in the case of the church att tended by President Roosevelt.
 MT. Tafts parents were Unitarians, and the secretary has always subscribed to the doctrines of this church, which is characterized by 1iberality of thought and action. Mrs. Taft, however, is an Episcopalan, and is a communicant of St. Johns church, to which Mrs. Roose- valt, wife of the President, also belongs. St Johns is one of the most noted houses of worship in Washington. It is known as the "Church of the President because it's services have been attended by an unusual number of chief execu- tives One of the pews is regularly set aside for the President of the United States, regardless of the fact that the President, as is the case now, may be a communicant of some other institution.
 But while All Souls church is not so widely known as some of the other churches of Washington, it has a very distinguished congregation. Its pastor is the Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce. pow erful pulpit orator. who. is in wide de- mand as a speaker.
 Mrs. Taft's parents were Episcopalians, and the Taft children are being brought up as Episcopalians. Secretary Taft fre- quently attends the Episcopal church of St. Johns with his wife. Helen and Charles, the children of the Taft family, since the family has lived in Washing ton have been members of the Sunday school of St. Johns. Miss Helen Taft, who is expected to enter Bryn Mawr this fall. was confirmed at St. Johns two years ago. Charles has not yet been con- firmed. He is attending school out of Washington now but before he went abroad with his father on the trip around the world, he went regularlg to St. John's S Sunday school.

Why is linen cooler" than cotton? Why is linen sheet or garment so much more comfortable than any other covering? Why is linen, aside from its cost always preferred to cotton?
 That it is preferred is undisputed. But why?
 The most ancient writers tell us that the people of their time shared the present day preference for linen. The wise Apu- leius says.
 Gan any one impressed with a sense of religion wonder that man who has been made acquainted with so many myste- ries of the gods, should keep at home certain eniblems and wrap them in a linen cloth, the purest covering for divine oh jects? For wool, the excretion of the sluggish body, taken from a sheep, was deemed a profane attire even according to the early tenets of Orpheus and Pyth- dgoras. But flax, that c1eanest and best production of the field is used not only for the inner and outer clothing of the most holy priests of the Egyptians, but also for covering sacred objects"
 Plutarch tells us that the priests of Isis wore linen on account of it's purity and he remarks how absurd and incon- sistent would have been their conduct if they had carefully plucsed the hairs from their own bodies. and yet clothed themselves in wool, which is the hair of sheep. The same writer also mentions the opinion of those who thought the flax was used for clothing because the color of it's blossom resembled the eth- erial blue

Ensley June Especial )-Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, bishop of the diocese of Mobile, visited St. Anthony's church this morning, and in the pres enee of a congregation that filled the church to it's fullest capacity admin intered the sacrament of confirmation on a class of 50. At the early mass Father Doyle gave 15 children their first holy communion and also admin istered the sacrament to about 35 of the class that was to be confirmed. At 10:30 o'clock high mass (coram epis- copo) with Father Paul Kletch celebrant, was sung. Bishop Allen, in full robes of his high office, assisted by the rector, Rev. F.. e. Doyle, admin istered the sacrament of confirmation with all the solemn and stately cere- monial of the church. At the conclu- sion Bishop Allen made an address on the Holy Eucharist and instructed the children on sacrament of holy com munion. He paid a high compliment to the rector Father Doyle, on the splendid showing made and praised the choir for the excellent rendition of the mass. As an offertory Mrs. H. J. Krebs sung Gunods "Benedictus" in most pleasing manner. Bishop Allen expressed his pleasure and qualification at the growth of the church in Ensle7 and suggested further extension of the work
