Strange Car on Erie.

Thousands Of passengers going
through the Erie Railroad terminal
in Jersey City Sunday, were aston
ished by the appearance of a special
car on a side track. Along thirty
feet on each side of the car in gold
letters a foot high was the name
The Countess of Warwick"
1t is the car in which the English
woman will make a lecture tour of
the United States. 1t is provided by
the New York, Susquehanna and
Western Railroad. controlled by the
Erie, and was used by the late E. H.
Hartman in the daily trips between
Jersey City and his estate at Arden,
y. Y. 1t is said to be one of the
finest private cars in the country,
containing four bedchambers, two
bathrooms, dining room and library,
kitchen and observation parlor.
But it was the display of signs on
the car that attracted attention. Be
sides he foot high letters of he name
of the Countess, which extended half
the length of the car, one whole
window display on each side bore a
rather daring display of the arms of
the House of Warwick.
1t was said at the station that
none of the great prima donnas has
ever put their names on their cars.
Some persons thought the car be-
longed to the circus until they read
the inscription.

Boy Scouts Must Not Carry Fire
Arms

The leaders of the Boy Scouts of
America are taking active measures
90 discourage boys from carrying ri
fes and revolvers. Boy Scouts are
not supposed to carry arms. When
ever reports come to the National
Headquarters concerning any patrol
or troop of boys who are said to be
carrying rifles, an investigation is
made at once, and the scout master
or commissioner having supervision
of the boys is asked to see to it that
the boys no longer carry the arms.
The report came to headquarters re-
Gently that a troop of Boy Scouts in
Albany were carrying Springfield
rifles; that their officers were named.
captains, lieutenants, colonels and
the like. Strainghtway, James E.
West, Chief Scout Executive, wrote to
E. l.. Miller, scout commissioner for
Albany, asking him to investigate the
affair. In this letter he said:
/ am very much surprised that
any scout master should take upon
himself the responsibility of injuring
the scout movement by having his
boys use rifles when wearing the
scout uniform. AS you undoubtedly
know, this is directly contrary to all
or our regulations and has caused a
great deal of misunderstanding, and
necessarily will hurt us very much.
" Scouting" says Lieut. General
Sir Robt. Baden-Powell, lis not as
some think, in any way connected
with soldering. 1t is really the work
of Colonial frontiersmen, coupled, in
our case, with a good deal of knight
errantry. That is to say, the boys
learn backwoodsmanship, and have,
as part of their duty to do a good
turn to a fellow-creature every day.
1t is a method of developing among
boys the manliness and character
which are so much needed among our
future citizens. 1t consists, briefly,
in giving them scouting-craft n place
of loating or rowdiness, which are
now becoming so prevalent. To drive
out a bad habit it is necessary to in
culcate substitute, and scoutcraft is
the substitute we suggest. By scout
ing | mean an education in charac-
ter outside the school walls, as dis
tinct from mere book-learning learn
ed within the school,"

I'LL NOTES ID
Centrars Effort To Control o. & w
Railroad Opposed.

Albany, March 21.-The applica-
tioo of the New York Central to ac-
quire the majority stock of the New
York, Ontario and Western was TAX
en- up yesterday before the Public
Service commission. Central's law
yers argued that although testimony
showed that there is competition be-
tween the New York Central and the
Ontario & Western at Utica, Oneida
and other points. the evidence
showed that the amount of such
competitive business is so insigniti-
cant that it plays no part whatever
in consideration of the question.
J. II. Jenkins, of New York, rep
resenting shareholders holding L.
400 shares of stock, objected to the
granting of the petition, first, on the
ground that the proposal was in vio-
lation of the Sherman act; second,
that it would place the trackage
rights of the Ontario & Western un-
der the control of the New York
Central, thus causing depreciation
of Ontario & Western stock; and
third, that it would in all probable
ity result in the loss of q per cent
of the coal traffic OF the Ontario &
Western, which would be equivalent
to about one million tons year. He
argued that the only desire of the
New Haven to sell the Ontario e.
Western to the Central was so that
it might obtain control OF the Rut-
land and that it proposed to pay
nearly twice as much for the Rut-
land stock as it is now selling for
in the open market. Its desire to
secure the Rutland, he said. was to
prevent the Grand Trunk from OBJ
tanning an entrance into Providence
and Boston along exclusive territory
of the New Haven.

BOY SCOUTS
EDITED BY
ONE OF THEM
Boy Scouts Not Military.

The leaders of the Boy Scouts of
America insist that the movement is
not military. Upon this point they
have issued the following statement:
The primary object of the Boy
Scouts of America is not military,
but peace scouting and educational
character building for good citizen
ship. The military virtue of obedi-
ence, neatness, order, endurance and
erect alert bearing are, however,
scout virtues. 1t also appreciates the
fact that boyhood properly developed
and cared for will produce efficient
material for the defense of our land
III this should become necessary. Its
aim therefore is to center it's interests
on the peace scouting activities that
will fill up the recreation periods of
a boys life, and give him the train
ing which is necessary to the devel-
opment of an all-around man.
Everything that tenders to develop
boys in this manner is good Scout
craft, and the Boy Scouts of America
insist on the knowledge of camp
craft, woodcraft, chivalry, live-saving
personal hygiene and patriotism be-
ing put into the boys recreation edu-
cation in right properties.

Young Girl Makes Half a Mile in
Record Time.
sIx-Year-Old Covers Long Distance at
=. Dover In Nineteen Minutes-Cuts
Her Way Though Waves
Like an Expert.

Dover.-Visitors to Dover and prom
enaders on the harbor piers were
astonished recently to see little
mite of girl, barely more than a
baby, take the water with all the ease
and aplomb of channel swimmer,
and proceed to swim half mile
across the bay in the record time OF
10 minutes.
And the sight was in truth a re-
markable one. The diminutive swim
mer, looking the merest speck on the
sunlit waters, cut her way through the
waves with businesslike, sturdy
breast stroke that would have done
credit to a Wolff or a Holbein.
Swimming by her side with watch
full eyes was Mrs. Jack Weldman, the
channel swimmer. But the little
record-maker NEEDED no guardianship.
Instead, the little girl finished her
half mile as fresh as cricket with
out aid of any kind, and this although
the sea was anything but smooth. BY
some people it would have been con-
sidered choppy.
The plucky little girl who achieved
this novel performance Is Freda Pick.
EFT, a six-year-old pupil of Miss Jar
Wis, sister Of the English champion
swimmer.
The part of Dover bay covered by
the child is that which lies between
Tho Dy;poo re yU,1ac pior RI tho Prom.
enade pier, a distance of half mile,
which she covered in the extraordi'
nary time of 10 minutes.

prowess
