The wreck was caused, it is be-

mistaking a freight engine on a sid

and consequently they ran beyond the
station where they should have
stopped. The two passenger trains
met on a curve, both running at high
speed. Most of the killed were in a

THE NEWEST rRoLLEY CAP.

The latest trolley car has neither a
platform nor a rear or front door. The
entrance and the exit are on the side
and pay on entrance is the style of
it. It was invented by a Pittsburg
man and it is described as follows in
the Municipal Journal and Engineer:
The exit is at the side in the mid
die Of the car. The conductor stands
at the side of this exit between two
rails to protect him from crowding
A touch Of his hand to a brass lever
opens or closes the door of the exit.
None can pass out until the door is
opened by the conductor, and thus an
always apparent danger of accident is
obviated. The only entrance is at the
rear, and in the one car in use there
is no door. but it is contemplated that
a sliding door similar to that at the
entrance shall be introduced. so that
when a car is filed the conductor, by
touch Of the hand to a pneumatic
lever, may close the door and prevent
reckless persons from catching the
rails and crowding in. The passenger
on entering must go on through a pas
sage beside smoking room, such as
that in the palace cars Of steam rail-
ways. There is no chance to loiter.
The person who does not at once pass
on to the angle where the smoking
room ends to admit the full width of
the car is compelled to move on by the
next passenger to enter"
This is believed to be by far the
safest and most convenient trolley car
that has ever been invented; and finds
favor with Pittsburg people, where it
is in constant use.

A QUESTION OF SPECIAL TAXES.

With the tendency to raise salaries
and increase paying political offices
in this state, it Is not surprising that
many protests are being raised against
some Of them. The question of hav-
ing a special auto commissioner to
guard the interests Of the state IS one
Of the needless things which has the
unanimous endorsement of a legisla-
tive committee, and the New Haven
Leader declares:
Connecticut needs an auto com
missioner about as much as a cat
needs a motor Cycle"
The proposition to make the Con-
necticut autoists pay tax Of $25 for
wear and tear on the roads and to
let outside autoists go through the
state scott free is regarded as in every
view unfair, and The Leader well says
that II this theory of special taxa
ton SIS carried to its logical conclu-
sion, we should have a graded tax,
charging the farmers and lunbermen,
brick haulers and coal carriers more
than we do the carriage driver, and
the roller skater more than the roller
Of the baby carriage which is quite
correct.
The averInent that the highways
should be constructed to stand wear
and tear. and that special taxes along
these lines are unfair and uncalled
for is endorsed by the best people Of
the state.

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.

Tooth brushes may be washed in
strong solution of salt and water.
After cleaning ivory expose 1t TO the
sun. This assists in bleaching 1t.
"A great many blemishes on wall
paper may be removed with q RUBBER
on lead pencil.
Dried lemon peel sprinkled over Goals
will destroy any disagreeable door
about the house.
To soften the old paint brushes you
used last year, put them in a can of
Goa! oil When soft they can be wash
ed in warm suds.
A delicious flavor is added to the
maraschino cherries used in or as a
decoration for fruit or other salad
by stuffing them with pecan meats
chopped rather coarse.
Clean mahogany with cold drawn
linseed oil and polish with clean cloths.
Marble should be washed with am
monia and water rather than with soap
and water
White wells dipped into SKINNED
milk and pinned upon a sheet will be
as fresh and crisp as new when they
dry.
Kerosene will polish zinc, if 1t is
rubbed on with a soft cloth until clean
and then washing the zinc in boiling
water.
Salts of lemon will remove ink stains
from wooden floors. Use two table,
spoonfuls to quart Of water and use
no soap.
A rat trunk tray kept in the laundry
will prove a great convenience. The
NAPKINS, doilies lunch cloths, etc, may
be laid out on it in neat separate
piles.
