The skin and care of the motorman

The skill and car of the motorman
are a very considerable factor in the
cost Of operating an electric car. One
way In which this fact is demonstrated
Is In making use OF all possible OPP
portunities to coast" on grades, and
q new recording device has been in
troduced to determine to what extent
motormen take advantage of such in
clines. The device is connected both
w1th electrical controller and with the,
air brakes and operates only when both
the controlling apparatus and the
brakes are in the off" position. The
record Is made on a paper ribbon driv-l
en- by a clock. This record makes ii
possible to judge of the relative
economy of different motormen operat-
Ing on the same line, and encourages
them to let the cars coast whenever
It Is possible to do SO without falling
behind their schedule,

Gregory, S. D., Jan. 17.-Patrick
Stevens, who was under bond of $500
for appearance on the charge of hold
ing up and robbing Walter c. Holley
on a public street of Gregory a short
time ago, has fed and the discovery
has been made that his bond is abb
solutely worthless. In some quarters
the opinion is expressed thai the flight
of Stevens is a good thing for the COM
munity, as it appears his actions had
been very careless ever since taking
up his residence here. Whether or
not the county authorities will ndeayor
to locate him is unknown. The crime
charged against him was a very bold
one. Holley had been making the
rounds of the saloons, in one Of which
Stevens was a bartender, and was care
less about showing a roll containing
S65 which he had in his possession and
with which he intended taking a homes
stead in Trip county. Stevens ap-

made him urn over the s65. When
Holley attempted to make his escape

Of this latter class were the Merry Widow hatboxes
Few knew of the real anxiety and concern experienced
in the box trade when hats suddenly increased to
alarming dimensions. Mlliners had to have boxes to
accommodate these enormous creations OF headgear.
Hatboxes had been made for years. and it was special
trade by ITSELF but they had always been of reasonable
dimensions To construct paper hatbox three or
feet in diameter and from two to three feet in
depth which will at the time be light and strong

board and renorcements in the shape of invisible
ribs inside. Many factories refused to make these ex-
traordinary hatboxes and the mlliners for time grew
frantic The few factories that offered to make them
charged much that at first the millners refused to
pay the price. There deadlock for time between
the two trades and for several months the big hat
threatened with premature death simply through the
difficulty of getting the right of box for it at
sonable price.
The upshot of it that both sides compromised.
The hatbox factories agreed to install special machinery
and equipments for making such enormous boxes the
that the big hat would not Immediately go out
of fashion The mners agreed to keep the big hat in
fashion for two at least and concession to
the trade and this promise the boxmaker reduced their
