THE GOOD LUCK PALM
OR TRINITY TALIsmAN.

There are many superstitions and
quaint beliefs concerning various
Towers and trees. Sir w. Jones.
hundred or more years ago writing
about India, tells Of the most beau
Ifui camalata. "a plant by which
alf desires are granted to such rs
approached it," and is alluded to
IN Moore's Lalla Rookh. Some trees
are called sanity. because OF their
supposed influence upon mankind.
Another superstition OF the olden
TIME, was that there was some sub
tie influence in a branching palm.
by which any wish expressed in its
shadow. would surely be granted.
branching palms are not common.
Out there is one growing on Ridge
wood avenue. which has three
branches. which was esteemed to
be more powerful in its influence
tnan those which had more, possibly
because it represented the Trinity.

DELAYED TRAIN
SAYS SALESMAN
Mexican Central Crew Re
fused to Proceed With
out English Orders.

There was a reason for the delay in
the arrival of the Mexican Central train
from Mexico City over the National
Lines this morning. The train from the
south was one hour and 35 minutes late
This loss of time was caused by a delay
at Silao, according to the story told by
g travelling man who was a passenger
on the delayed train.
When the Central train pulled into
Silao, which is division point, the en-
gineer and conductor. both Americans,
were handed their train orders in Span
ish. Both spoke and read Spanish flu
emily.

and engineer in duet
'GiTe us our orders in English,
mo sabe Engles," was the operators
reply, so the travelling mans story
goes.
An ultimatum was issued by the
trainmen right there on the Silao plat
form. No train orders in English, no

ton committee of the Commercial cluo

that the required amount of bonds win

New York. Oct. 2e.-The most impor-
tant financial event to-day was the fall

the premier English investment security
made in the great financial panic in 1877.

increase in the burden Of taxation in
England. and the necessity on the part
OF holders or investment securities OF
procuring a larger interest return in
view OF the higher cost OF living have
all initiated against the specific security
in question.
