REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 People have mysteries and think it is temperament.
 For a. father to tell about a new baby takes lot of drinks
 It just looks as if some people could keep a straight face telling anything but the truth.
 A good example doesn't scare the public away from him much more than the smallpox would.

Restricting High speed

"The Pennsylvania Railroad company has announced that orders have been issued restricting the maximum speed of all passenger trains under any cir cumstances at any point on the sys- tenn east and west of Pittsburg so as not to exceed 70 miles an hour" said railroad man. Tn addition, careful consideration has been given to the existing speed restrictions on curves.
 Thorough investigation of the con ditions on each division of the Penn sylvanla system developed the fact that the present schedules, with but few exceptions, will not be affected by the speed restrictions when trains are be- ing operated on time. The new in struetions will only become operative when time has been lost at terminals or on the road and will then prevent a speed of above 70 miles per hour in attempting to make up time
 "To provide means of notifying locomotive engineers of the proximity of a section of track on which a speed restriction has been placed special signal has been installed where the curvature of the track IS such that a speed of 45 miles per hour or less is required. The new instructions, as well as complete observance of these sig nals. will be strictly enforced by the company.
 As about 90 per cent of all Penn sylvania railroad trains are operated on time it is felt by the management that the public will not be incon- venienced to any appreciable degree by the restriction of the speed of trains to 70 miles per hour"

ONE YEAR
SENTENCE
FOR ROBBERY

August Santos, who was on trial
yesterday in Judge Robinson's court
on a charge of robbery in the second
degree, was in the afternoon found
guilty as charged. This morning he
was sentenced by Judge Robinson to
not more than one year in Jail,
When Santos was asked by the
judge whether or not he had any
thing to say as to why he should not
be sentenced, he began a voluble and
rambling speech. Only a part of it
was translated, but Santos seemed to
be telling the sad story of his young
life and all of his experiences, Of
which, 1t appeared, he had had many,
including two or three shipwrecks.
His eloquence apparently made
some impression upon the judge, for
the sentence imposed was a light one
in comparison with what the defend.
