NEW ENGINES
ARE ORDERED

Philadelphia, June 11.-At time
when the heads Of some railroads
were announcing that their companies
were about to cut down expenditures
because of the attitude of the govern
ment on freight rates the Hartman
lines have gone ahead and ordered
new locomotive equipment to cost ST.

This order, which calls for the build
ing Of eighty-five passenger locomo-
tives Of the most powerful type, has
been secured by the Baldwin Locomo-
tive company Of Philadelphia. 1t is
the biggest equipment order given
since the recent disturbance in the
railroad world. Deliveries are to be
made during the three last months OF
the year.

orders given to his company had been

pect any cancellations. On the other
hand, purchasing ON gratifying scale

Attack on smelIino Salts.

Smelling salts are dangerous. This
Is the opinion of several physicians
who have investigated the subject.
They are said to be prolific cause OF
deafness and. besides, destroy the sense
of smell. "They irrltate and infiame
the olfactory nerve" said one physi-
clan the other day. "All smelling
salts are composed largely of am
monia, the fumes of which inhaled
through the nose infame one end of
the eustachian tube and finally cause
1t to close. This tube connects With
the mucous membrane at the back OF
the nose with the two auditory cham
bers leading from the eardrums. The
part closing of these tubes results in
deafness. OF course great deal de-
pends on ones constitution, but in a
person not robust the use of strong
smelling salts viii cause deafness. To
those Of normal health the only danger
lies in the too frequent use OF the
salts. Persons who suffer much from
colds or chills or have tendency to-
ward catarrh should beware Of them"

1t was in the town that modern de-
mocracy had its rise. Despite all the
efforts of the kings and barons to pre-
vent 1t, the spirit Of liberty began to
assert itself in the larger towns in the
shape Of the charters which guarantee
to the people certain commercial and
political rights-rights which, once OBJ
tanned, were never to be surrendered.
Before the middle of the eleventh cen
tury there were many Of these Char
tered" towns which possessed the
right Of electing their own magis-
trates, sheriffs and judges and regulat-
ing their own taxes. The wretched serfs
from the country were welcomed by
the townspeople and aided to larger
freedom. These free towns were first
known in Spain, from which country
they slowly spread over Europe. The
burgesses naturally offered protection
and freedom to all who would fee to
them from the feudal estates, and thus
slowly, but surely, the good work went
on until the ancient despotisms were
destroyed.-Arena.

Manager Dockstader takes particu-

appearance Of Marshall p. Wilder at
the Garrick the week of October 31st.
Few men in the country are better
known than Mr.. Wilder, certainly none
are more gifted entertainers than he.
Marshall p. Wilder is in a class all by
himself. Gifted as an entertainer and
humorist, his personal magnetism
coupled with his inimitable wit and
droll humor has made him quite as
much OF a favorite with the great men
Of the world as with the humblest citi-
zen who has had the pleasure of hear
ing him. The Garrick has offered no
announcement in a long time that will
be received with a more cordial well
come than that of Mr.. Wilder's en-
gagement here.
