people, relates the New York Sun.
He took them as matters Of course
about what he had expected. When
they took him up to the twenty-fifth
floor he was plainly interested in the
ships and the f|erryboats. But these
too were about what he had looked
for. Presently, however, he caught
something moving in the bed Of the
rayine at his feet, "By George"
said he, chats queer. I'd never
thought of that" What he saw was
a covered delivery wagon with the
name of the firm painted broadly on
the top. On the flat roof Of a little
building to the south was painted
the name Of a printer and the spe-
cial kind of work he did. Elsewhere
were names of ~fruiterers, dealers in
Office furniture, restaurant keepers,
all painted on the roofs of their
buildings. eyes, sir" said the new
conner, q consider those signs just

B. & O. INCREASE IN TEN YEARS.

During the past ten years the balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, says the
Wan Street Journal, has greatly IN
creased the amount and capacity of
its motive power equipment in order
10 handle with economy and expedi-
tiol the rapidly growing traffic. Since
July /. 1901, the number of locomo-
tlyes has increased from 1870, repre-
senting an active tractiye power OF
37,200.750 pounds to 2,205, having to-
ial tractive power of 73,345 ,026
pounds. This means an advance in
the average tractive power per loco
motive from 1885 to 33,263 pounds
or 1923 per cent. while the increase
in number of locomotives has resulted
in reducing the average yearly per-
Torrance per engine from SO 439 to
29.346 miles.
Notable expansion in freight traffic
during the decade has necessitated
= larger proportion of power assigned
ia that service and accordingly the
tractive power of freight engines.
which was 73 per cent of the total in
1902 has grown to SO per cent of the
aggregate tractive power. The aver
age power of this class has increased
from 81 491 pounds TO 1886 pounds,
or 1896 per cent, while the average
performance has been reduced from
1850 to 2059S miles. exclusive of
switching service. At the close of the
fiscal year 1902 the average traffic
burden per thousand pounds tractive
qower was 323, 400 ton miles, compar-
cd with 19O,O $50 ton miles for the past
year.
The quantity and capacity of freight
train equipment show about the same
advance as locomotives. Since 1902
freight cars have increased in number
from 1887 to S9.552, while the aggre-
gate capacity has advanced from .
1922 70 to SAGA 697 tons.

Sorts of Ills on Restaurants.
New York, Nov. 17-"New York is
the most vicious and immoral city In
this country, because it's people live
in the restaurants and delicatessen
shops"
This statement by Winifred Harper
Cooley, national secretary Of the AS
ISOLATED Clubs of Domestic Science,
caused a stir in the convention Of the
New York State Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs at the Hotel Aston.
Mrs Cooley took for the subject OF
her address Women and Food Adult
teration"
Health, whether private or public,
depends on food" she declared. Nor
aHty also depends on food. When we
are hungry we see things and are not
responsible mentally or morally. Ham
let undoubtedly needed square meal.
THE quantity of food each indi-
vidual eats Is surprising. We literally
shovel tons of materials into our deli
cate stomachs. In lifetime OF seventy
years a woman eats 80 oxen, 100
cows, 200 sheep. 80 pigs, 10000 oy-
sters, $4,000 eggs and four and a half
tons of bread. The quality, therefore.
ought to be looked into.
Food adulteration is as old as his
tory. Our only protection lies in being
able to read the lebels. The federal
law is very ADEQUATE

TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN
Miner Finds Chain Wrapped About

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Nov. ia dar-
Ing attempt to wreck the New York

Valley railroad at Warrior Run, near

Of mind and quick action of Evan NJ.
Evans, a miner who, waving his lit

on the heavily loaded train.
The obstruction some thirty feet of
logging chain, wrapped about the off
aide rail of the northbound track so
tightly that II took some time to re.
move it, would have thrown the train,
running at fifty miles an hour as 1t
was, over the embankment which at
that point Is steep.
1t was a luck accident that pre-
vented the wreck. Evans, walking
home, stumbled on the chain and, see
Ing with his miners lamp what 1t was.
and knowing that the express had not
passed, instantly turned and ran up
the heavy grade.
He had not gone more than 800
yards when the train swept around a
curve and, frantlcally waving his min
er's lamp. with its little pickering
light, he managed to warn the engi-
neer, and the train was stopped a
short distance from the obstruction.
Railroad detectives are working on

CARNEGIE ON PANIcs
Says Our Banking and Currency Sys-
TEN Breeds Disaster.


New York, Nov. Money panics
don't hurt the rich" said Andrew
Carnegie, when asked why he thought
the United States had "the worst
banking system in the world
'Panics hurt the working man. The
rich can manage to get through a
panic like that Of 1907 without suffer
ing; it is the people who depend upon
daily earnings for their daily bread
who feel the cruel burdens OF panics.
The rich do not suffer for lack of food,
or clothing, or shelter, because hun
dreds of thousands of American work
ers are thrown out of employment, as
they were in 1907, and as they were in
the 90's and in the 70's
II am impatient at folly, yes,
the crime, of allowing our whole
credit structure to be exposed to dis
aster, as it now is, simply because we
have neglected to follow the example
of other nations, by adding to our
banking system what other civilized
nations have. viz, means Of calling
upon the reserves of banks by allow
ing cooperative association of the
banks to issue legal tender currency
in times of stress. | believe there is
not another duty so imperatively de.
manded as the prompt creation of this
reserve power. II can only be done
by the demand of the people express
ed through legislation in congress.
Every working man and woman In
America should have the equivalent
of an insurance policy against dire
disaster from financial panics. A CO
operative banking reserve will give
this insurance.

BUYS sWEETHEART'S FARM
Girl Gets Property at Auction After
Winning Breach of Promise Suit.

WiHniHg OTSdCn OF FToHlSc 0uits
Reading, Pa, Nov. 13-Pursuant to
an order of the referee in bankruptcy,
an eleven acre farm in Hereford town
ship was sold as the estate of Eugene
F. Bauer, bankrupt, to Miss Helen
Jones, for $3.50, subject to a dover of
$82770
Quite a romance surrounds the
sale. Miss Jones, who is a pretty
Quaker girl, was awarded a verdict
of S519.63 against Mr. Bauer for
breach OF promise. At the trial the
young woman testified that Bauer had
courted her for six years. when he
asked her TO marry him. She was a
Quakeress and he Catholic, and she
agreed to join his faith. Then the love
match was shattered for some reason
and Bauer became cool in his affec-
tons. His visits grew less frequent
and finally he stopped going alto
gether
The jury believed the girls story.
Judgment was entered against Bauer
and he went into bankruptcy His
farm was placed on sale to satisfy the
Judgment and the dover.
No one knew that Miss Jones was
bidding on the place, and there was
general surprise when it. became
known that she had become the owner
of her former sweetheart's property.
The love match of Miss Jones and
her former lover started on this farm,
which Is in high stae of cultivation.
Miss Jones formerly lived in Phila-
delphia, but now resides in Upper
Milford township, Lehigh county, a
mile from the home of Bauer.
