COMPLAIN AGAINST P. S.
FARE COLLECTION DELAY.
South End Association to Take
Matter Un With Company.

Bitter criticism was made last night
of the Public Service Railway Company
for the system of collecting the second
fare between this city and Elizabeth,
at a meeting of the South End I'm
proyement Association, at 1887 Elizabeth
avenue. 1t was stated that sometimes
fifteen minutes is required for the in
spector to collect the additional fares.
and that the car, filled with passen-
gers, must stand on the tracks until
the collection has been made. A COM
m~unication will be sent to the Public
Service.
Attention was given to the much
complained of nuisance of insufficient
lighting 1t the Elizabeth avenue rail-
road crossing. The Board of Works
will be asked to remove the trees on
Elizabeth avenue near Hawthorne, as
owing to the recent change in the side
walk line. they are between the curb
and the car tracks.

In the local schools the Board of Edu-

the Normal School yesterday after
noon and Superintendent Addison B.
Poland addressed the local principals
on the topic, quoting largely from his
June report to the Board of Education.
Charles E.. Slocum, city supervisor of
writing for the past eight years, also
spoke on the subject. and gave illus
trations of standards and methods.
The amount of time to be devoted to
the subject will be left to the prin-
cipals.

Don't tell me- growled a skeptic the
other day, that you can offer bargains
in this, that and the other thing, every
day in the week, and come out whole at
the end of the year. TO read the average
department store ad. nowadays a person
might almost suppose you dry-Eoods peo-
pie were all in the game for the sheer
love OF losing money
You have probably reasoned the same
way yourself and quite naturally, too. IL
does seem strange, upon the face OF II,
that a store can sell certain lines or mer-
ohnndise at an apparent loss and still
make money. You don't know, or at least
you don't realize, how such things are
brought about.
II has been stated upon good authority
that from ten to fourteen per cent. of all
way into the hands of the consumer for
less than 1t cost to make. This Is due
to causes which naturally do not affeot
the usefulness of the article In the least.
Perhaps 1t IL a case of overproduction-
possibly the manufacturer needs the
money; at any rate tho market is over
flowing with good things all the time and
a great store like this naturally gets hold
of many rare bargains in the course of a
business year.
When you sec an article advertised at
zoe, worth 75c or 81, don't be skeptical
and put II down as a fake IL the store
thaf makes such an assertion cares for it's
reputation you will probably find the arti-
Gle exactly as the advertisement stated.
and, moreover, II you could trace 1t back
you would likely find that the store was
making It's regular profit and that the
manufacturer or wholesaler was the loser.

Suns Of the Niaht.

During the day we say that the sun
shines; during the night we should
say that the suns shine" writes a
Boston correspondent OF the New York
Times. During the day one sun
relgns over us; during the night many
suns sparkle and scintillate upon ua.
The only difference is that our sun of
day is so much nearer than our suns
OF night, but there is one sun Of night
that during our winter far outshines
the other sparkling sky gems. That
sun is Sirius, whose distance has been
estimated at 50,O00.O00.00o miles,
whose size has been conjectured to bs
as vast as that OF 1000 suns like our
own"

The AeropIane In VA.


The life OF an aviator would not be
safe if he approached within 1000
yards Of the deck OF a modern battle
ship.
This is an official deduction from
recent experiments held at the last
target practice on the southern drill
grounds OFF Cape Henry, Va, when a
team Of bluejackets from the battle
ship Mississippi fired at a box kite
They used the service rifle. If the
three-inch guns of the torpedo defense
battery are used an aeroplane would
not be able to approach within 1000
yards of q battleship. During the re-
cent practice, however it was impos-
sible to use the three-inch guns be-
cause they couldn't be inclined at an
angle of elevation high enough to per
nit firing at the kites.
The ordnance officers of the Missis
sippi are considering the necessary
modification OF the gun mount for this
kind of attack. 1t is probable that fur
ther experiments will be held later,
at which the smaller caliber guns will
be tested in firing at box kites at diff
ferent ranges.

WORKING With eoLpS
Factories In Which Dark colCFsd
Clothes Must Be Worn.

Factories In Which Dark coI0Fed
Clothes Must Be Worn.
Light suits of clothes are not favored
in factories where work is done on
gold. In fact, in many such factories
q dark suit Of clothes is absolutely re-
quired, and even a light waistcOat may
lose a man job. The reason for this
is that any stray grains Of gold that
may get on the clothing can easily be
caught on a dark suit, while they
might get away from the establish.
ment If light clothes were worn.
That such a rule was enforced
among gold workers one man learned
recently when a Bohemian gold beater
applied to him for a helping hand. The
Bohemian said that he had only re.
Gently come to this country, that he
had had a chance to obtain a good job
at his trade. but that the place had
been refused him because he turned
up with a light coat and waistcOat on,
and they were the only clothes he had.
The man whom he approached was
struck by the story and offered to help
him out if it proved true. He went to
a downtown factory with him and
found out that the man could have the
job if he presented himself within an
hour with the proper clothes on. Two
dollars enabled the man to rig himself
out in the dark coat and waistcOat to
go with his dark trousers, and, sure
enough. he got the job
"YOu may think this strange" said
the man at the factory. but it means
quite little to us. Every mans cloth
ing is carefully examined when he
leaves here at night and the gold
brushed of whenever we see any on
his clothing.
"It is impossible to hide even tiny
grains on a dark background. but take
a mixed or a light suit and we might
easily lose quite an amount of gold,
and gold isn't anything you want to
lose even in small quantities" New
York Sun.

Curious Antieipations.

Many peculiar anticipatiOns have
been cited against patent applications.
At one time a congressman took to
the patent office a lock invented by
one Of his rural constituents. The
lock was an exact copy Of a lock fig
ured in "Price on Locks" showing the
lock used On Il gate Of ancient Thehes
thousands Uf years before Christ. The
congressman after examining the illus
tratiOn. which was shown him by one
Of the officers. exclaimed that be didn't
care who that fellow from Thebes
was. he certainly stole it from his con-
stituent. On another occasion an ap-
plicatiOn for patent was filed for
flower basket whose construction cor
responded in detail with the Scrip
tural description Of the ark in which
Moses was placed in the bulrushes,
which. we are told in the second chap
ter Of Exodus, was an ark OF bull
rushes daubed with slime and pitch.
This is also probably the hrst record
ed instance OF a REINFORCED concrete
structure.-Scientific American.

REFUSED TO OBEY.

humorous brusqueness and independ-
ence which characterized early RevO-

troops that came down the Mississippi
were quartered at Fort Adams. Gen

Major Butler. Captain Green and 9th

punch one night, and the general by
some accident got his cue burned Off
Angry at the laugh which followed his
mishap. he next day issued an order
forbidding any officer to appear with
a cue Obedient to orders, all the Off
GERS but Major Butler cut OF their
cues
''The vain old prig" said the major
'I'n see him hanged before 1 cut OF
my cue to crafty him" And he bold
ly appeared without changing the style
Of his hairdressing.
The major was put under arrest, but
he declared obstinately that he would
spend the rest Of his life In prison be-
fore he would comply with such a silly
command Soon afterward he was
taken very III. and. realizing that he
was at the point Of death. he gave in
structions for his burial. which he
knew would be witnessed by the whole
command.
''Bore hole" said he. through the
bottom OF my coffin. right under my
head, and let my cue come through it,
that the old general may see that even
when dead refuse to obey his order"
And these directions were literally
carried out.

Where waItzina Is Barred.

German court regulations fOrbiC
waltzing This veto dates back to 1859
when the Empress Frederick, ther
crown princess. was tripped up by bel
partner in a waltz and fell at the feel
Of her mother-in-law. The Empress
Augusta, a despot on the score Of eti
quette, forbade the inclusion Of waltzes
thenceforth in all balls at the New
palace. So far the kaiser has resisted
the pressure brought to bear on him
to revive the waltz. Dancing at the
Berlin court always opens with polo
naise, ana the rest Of the program is
filed with quadrilles and polkas. the
sehOttishes and the mazurkas.
