of protectionists, as the following:
If the cotton and wooden schedules

corps of adopts and expert mystlfiers.
they are certainly made for them, and
true of other schedules. The few get
the protection. The many pay for it.
The Republicans have the votes in

This change of Sun tone is a sign
of the times, and not the only one.
Other papers of protective antecedents

Nine. Schumann Heink, probably the
greatest grand opera contralto, who is
the mother of eight children and the
grandmother of five, arrived from Eu-
rope, Thursday, to stay until the FAN
of 1910. spending the interim in concert
and festival singing, having retired
from grand opera. She says: Talk
about art and domestic life being an
tagonistic. Don't you think / have
mingled art and motherhood well?''
Mime. Schuman Heink is a wonderful
woman, not only in her voice but also
in her happy intermingling of "art
and motherhood" And it may be said
that thus far a successor of equal abil-
ity has not yet appeared in grand
opera.

Measures to so amend the Hepburn

so provide that a railroad owning and

law by merely organizing holding

DROP NICKEL IN SLOT
French Government Has Just intro
duced Automatic Device For
Registering Letters

Paris, Aug. S.-The French govern
ment has just introduced into use an
automatic device for registering let
tiers. The letter is dropped into a box
and a nickel piece, purchaseable for
five cents, placed into the slot. The
crank is turned, a numbered receipt
falls out and the corresponding num-
Der is stamped on the letter. The in
genious feature of the machine is the
device for preventing the use Of any
except the nickel coin
This is accomplished by means OF a
magnet which attracts only iron and
nickel the latter very feebly. The at
traction OF the nickel is neatly calcu
lated and as the coin falls. the at.
traction is Just sufficient to retard it
and make it fall into the pocket which
operates the mechanism An iron
piece. on the other hand, would be
strongly attracted, miss the pocket
and be elected All other coins also
are elected.

Automobile Drivers Quickly Learn to

Brady, Tex.-There are certain un
written rules and regulations that
must be rigidly observed by automo
bilists In the ranch region of western
Texas II they would avoid serious
trouble. The joy rider soon comes tC
grief in this part of the country. The
automobile is in general use in getting
about from place to place in the range
territory where there are few rail
roads, but the cowboys do not permit
any undue liberties to be taken in run
ming the machines. The shooting up
of automobiles by cowboys is com
mon practice. This extreme method
OF bringing an autombile to stop IL
not adopted unless the cowboy thinks
that he has not been treated with
proper consideration at the hands Of
the chauffeur.
An instance of this kind occurred
near Brady few days ago. Dick Davis
started from here on a 30-mile trip to
his ranch in Concho county. He was
driving his automobile himself and
had no passenger. He was in a hurry
to reach the ranch and did not OBJ
serve the rules of the road as laid
down in this part OF the country. He
was spinning along at high rate of
speed when he came upon a drove OF
mules which we're being driven by

causing lively stampede of the ami

ports of rife were heard and the
automobiles two rear tires collapsed.
The bullets knocked the machine
completely out of commission" Mr..
Davis said, in telling of the affair. The
