ENERGY OF FLAT WHEELS.

The enormous energy developed
by a fiat spot in wheel has been
estimated by Prof Hancock of Pur-
due university. He finds that fiat
spot 213 inches long on a 33-inch
wheel, carving a load of 5000
pounds at 30 miles per hour, will
deliver a blow 10 the rail of more
than a 1,ooo-foot pounds. The same
fiat wheel supporting 55-ton inter-
urban ear running at 60 miles per
hour, would deliver a blow with an
energy Of 9.5oo-foot pounds. Such
a fiat spot would be produced by
wearing off less than o.o5-inch of
metal.

WHY PREACHERS LIVE LONG
Profession Calculated In Many Ways
to Guarantee Old Age to
Possessor.

The British statistics of mortality,
Just published, show what we all
knew. before, that more clergymen
live to old age than the members of
any other profession. What is the
reasonf asks the Independent. In
part, that they are a little older in
entering their profession than almost
any other business, which cuts out,
in the statistics, those who die before
IS. Next, they live regular life,
with no excuses; and they take a
moderate amount of exercise, while
mostly protected against exposure.
Then something may be credited to
the philosophy of religion, which
tends to an eouable frame of mind.

GOOD WORD FOR THE RAT.

Had it not been for a wire roll
used in dressing the hair, Gertrude
Brown, the 14-year-old daughter of
P. S. Brown, would undoubtedly
have lost her life when she was
thrown from her horse the other aft
Grnoon.
1t SO happened that Miss Brown
had rolled her hair higher than
usual and so the wire rat received
the brunt of the fall. The injury
was directly under the roll and was
jagged three-cornered hole. The
girl fell on the back of her head
upon loose stone in the street and
the wire roll covered with hair kept
the stone from fracturing the skull.

FEARED FATE OF COMPANION
Possible Reason Why Dog Refused to
Wear Collar That Belonged to
Dead Chum.

A New York physician told this
story recently in a little company
where pet animals were being dis
cussed: Eve had two little pets,
a Bohemian and a King Charles.
They were both right, well behaved
and atfectionate. with weakness for
the baby and candy. They were so
much members of the family that
when presents were distributed lip
and Rex were often remembered.
Once they got new collars, with
high key bell on one and bell OF
lower note on the other. The Blcn-
helm, short time ago. got mixed
up with the wheels of an automobile
and went TO dog paradise, and there
was mourning IN the nursery. y
few DAYS later the maid, before TAX
inc him out, put the collar on Rex,
but instead Of jumping for the door,
as he usually does. he howled and
skunk back into the Railways. Moth
ine could induce him to follow the
maid. and when she tried to carry
him he growled and showed his teeth,
and the cry went through the house
that Rex is mad It was discovered
that the dead dogs collar had been
put on by mistake, and when this
was removed he was himself again.
It was evident that he would not
wear his former companions bell"

within a specified time. When
the period for development had
about expired, Mrs. Adams and
her husband notified Mr.. Jones
to proceed with the aforesaid
development. To this Mr.. Jones
is said to have given no heed.
Thereupon, the lease require
ments were called to the atten-
ton of the Interior Department.
MIR. Jones was soon therefore
notified that he must begin the
development or dispose of his
lease to the property, This
notice resulted in Mr.. Jones
sinking an oil well, which is re-
ported to be gushtr to the ex-
tent of 500 barrels of oil a day.

The little train, making endless reyo-

HAS ALMANAC
PRINTED IN 1888
Interesting Pamphlet Shows
Marked Decrease in Postal
Rates Since That Period

Colonel G. NJ Loitch OF the Internal
Revenue Office, in this city, has an inter-
csting almanac which was published in
Philadelphia in 1883 The word almanac is
spelled almanack on the cover page.
The pamphlet contains much information
aside from that contained in the usual
almanac. For instance. il shows there was
a vast difference in the rates OF postage
in that period compared with the present
decade At that time letter inclosing
single sheet of paper. to be conveyed not
exceeding thirty miles, cost 6 cents post
age; over thirty miles, not exceeding
eighty miles. 10 cents; over eighty mivs
not exceeding $50 miles l2ls cents; over lyJ
miles not exceeding 400 miles. 1Sai cents.
and over 400 miles, % cents. Letters con-
taining two pieces of paper cost double
the above rates. three pieces triple and
four pieces or any package weighing an
ounce. quadruple these rates, and in that
proportion for an greater weights not OK
ceoding three pounds.
The pamphlet also contains interesting
short stories and some jokes which are not
SO good. one OF these puns follows:
"A wag observing fellow steal FISH
and put it under his Jacket which was too
short to conceal the theft. whispered to
/ the purloiner TO wear in the future a
| longer Jacket or steal a shorter fish,"

Tom, the son Of a wealthy man, was

TROLLEY co. TO

Interstate Railways Company
Apparently AvertS Re-
organization

Reorganization OF the Interstate
Railways Company. which operates a
600-mile urban and interurban electric
railway system including the Whining
otn city Railway. seems to have been
averted, at least for the present.
Last February the company default
ed on the semi-annual interest on its
$40, 776,600 collateral trust per cent.
bonds. That was a step preliminary
to a proposed reorganization which
was undertaken by Edward b. Smith
and Company, of Philadelphia, working
in conjunction with holders of a ma
jority of the bonds and stock Of the
company.
Next the American Railways Conf
pany offered to give its bonds in ex-
change for those Of the Interstate Rail-
ways Company upon certain terms.
That precipitated a rather bitter fight
with the Smith party. A large num-
ber Of bondholders accepted the Ameri-
can Railways offer. but holders of
more than s7.000,0OO bonds deposited
them under the Smith reorganization
proposition.
Yesterday the whole matter was
turned upside down by an entirely un-
expected development. The defaulted
interest is to be paid. Holstein De
Haven. president of the Real Estate
Title Insurance and Trust Company OF
Philadelphia, when asked last evening
about the matter, said:
"Our company. as trustee for the
Interstate Railways is, was officially
notified to-day by John A. Rigg. presi-

CHURCH TROUBLE
DOWN in SUSSEX
Division Of Nassau Circuit
Results in Temporary
Lockout

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Aprn 2S.-There is
trouble between the different congre-
cations OF Nassau Circuit since a di-
vision of the circuit was made az tho
recent session of the Wilmington NJ.
r. Conference IN Milford.
Nassau Circuit formerly comprised
Epworth Church Of Rehoboth Ebenezer
Church. Whites Chapel and Conley's
Church, in the vicinity Of Cooispring
and Nassau. During the session of Con-
ference q delegation from Rehoboth ask
ed that their church be severed from
the circuit and made a station. with
Rev. G. r. Ellis as as the pastor AS
the four churches on the circuit con-
tributed for pastoral services about
$500 a year. Il was found that Epworth
Church could not raise more than $3.50
after Withdrawing from the circuit.
This reduction In salary was not at
all pleasing TO Pastor Ellis, and q COM
promise was finally effected in which
Conley's Church was to be taken in
with the Rehoboth church by paying
$3.50 salary. which would thus make mp
the $500 or the amount raised by all
the churches OF the circuit.
Aht AAAhhAA Iaic'iiAN' ~ ANldAtN Al
Nassau and as soon as the division
was made, the question of a new par
saneg was raised. AS all the churches
on circuit give their proportionate
share for the maintenance of the par
sonage, the congregation of Conleys
entered "a protest against a new par
sonage.
At meeting Of the official board
Of Conley's Church a few days ago. a
resolution was passed TO the effect that
they would not stand for the division
and that the church doors would be
closed against the Rev. M. Ellis. Upon
tho arrival Of the pastor last Sunday
he found the doors closed against him.
while large assembly was waiting
outside After much persuasion on
the part OF some members the officials
opened the doors and allowed him "a
I preach. At the conclusion of the SER
mon a heated debate took place be-
tween the officials and some of the
members. Three members OF the board
Of stewards have decided not TO allow
the doors 70 be opened II within their
