THE PENNSY ROAD
HALTS SPEED CRAZE
Engineers Are Not to Exceed
70 Miles an Hour Under
Any Circumstances.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
announced today that orders had 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 seventy miles per hour
In addition, careful consideration has
been given to the existing speed re-
Strictions on curves.
Thorough investigation of the con-
ditions on each division of the Penn
sylvania system developed the fact
that the present schedules, with but
few exceptions, will not be affected by
the speed restrictions when trains are
being operated on time. The new in
structions will only become operative
when time has been lost at terminals
or on the road, and will then prevent
a speed of above seventy miles per
hour in attempting to make up time.
To provide means of notifying en-
ginemen of the proximity of a section
of track on which speed restriction
has been placed, special signal has
been installed wher the curvature of
the track is such that a speed of forty
five miles per hour or less is required.
The new instructions, as we'll as com
plete observance of these signals, will
be strictly enforced by the company.
AS about ninety per cent of all Penn.
sylvania railroad trains are operated
on time, it is felt by the management
| that the public will not be inconveni
enced to any appreciate degree by the
restriction of the speed Of trains to
seventy miles per hour.

Why Stars Twinkle,

The twinkling of the stars is chiefly

upon the waves of light 1t is due to
currents and strata of air of different
densities intermingling and floating
past each other, through which the
light passes to the eye. 1t is seen
much more in cold than in warm
weather and nearer the horizon more
than overhead. The same effect may
be seen by looking out of a window

on the other side of a hot stove. SO

Tho Grass Widow Defined.

It is related of a Methodist bishop
that when presiding over a district
conference in North Carolina he had
an attack Of hay fever and in conse-
quence was somewhat irascible and
impatient. A young preacher who gave
a rather poor account Of his work was
given a severe reprimand by the bish-
op and asked to state the reason for
his failure.

Oriqin of the DOG.

It has been supposed that the dog,
like the jackal. descended from a spe-
cial race. Examination of the skulls
Of the canidae in the museum Of the
French Academy Of Sciences shows
that nearly all of the jackal and wolf
species differ from those of the little
wolf of India. The little wolf of In
dia is the only wild beast possessing
the salient eyebrow or crest of the dog
The little wolf has not only the dogs
eyebrow crest, but all the canine char
acteristics and none of the character
istics OF the wolf. 1t Is presumable
that the little wolf Of India was the
original ancestor of the dog The two
primitive canine races, the dog of the
boys and the dog Of the age of bronze y
were donesticated first in Asia and
were introduced into Europe from
Asia, like most of the domestic ami
mails Of Europe.-Harper's Weekly.

Tho Orioin of Fasting.

AS Is the case with all very ancient
practices, the origin Of fasting is OBJ
scure. Herbert Spencer gives us to
understand that the custom arose out
of the habit of providing refreshments
for the dead. The offerings to the dead
were often made i'll SO lavish a manner
as TO involve the survivors in tempo
rary starvation. and it is suggested by
Spencer that the fasting which was
Mt first the natural and inevitable re-
suit of the sacrifice on behalf of the
dead, may eventually have come to be
regarded as an indispensable con-
comitani Of all sacrifice and worship
and SO have survived as well estab-
lished usage long after the original
cause had ceased to operate. y New

TRESPASSING IN ENGLAND.
II No Damage Is Done intruders Need
Have No Fear

Many timid pedestrians in rural
England are frightened away from in.
viting fields by the notice ''Trespass-
ers VIII Be Prosecuted" They need
have no fear. says an English ex.
change.
AS the law stands any trespasser
who does the smallest damage-in-
jures a fence, breaks a small branch,
etc.-can be summoned before n mag
istrate and fined. But If he does no
damage the landlord must bring an
action at law and get an Injunction.
This costs a lot OF money, and unless
the trespasser is a man of means the
landlord won't bring his action ut law,
All he can do otherwise is to ask you
to get out. If you go peaceably you
can return an hour later and repeat
the visit as often as you wish. Moth.
ing can be done beyond asking you to
leave again. But if you resist then
sufficient force can be used, and il
you show fight you may be legally
knocked down. your legs tied and your
self bundled on to the road.
The landlord may, however. play
some tricks on you. He can saw II
bridge crossing a stream, SO that you
will get a ducking: he can dig a pit
for you to fall into. and he can so fix
the stile you are likely to cross that
you will break 1t, and then he can
have you up before the magistrate. II
you don't commit any damage. how
ever. you can trespass TO your hearts
content.

Mineral Microbes,

Some interesting experiments have
been made with ancient medals, vases
and so forth of lead that are gradually
disintegrating in the museum Of Gu
ny. After certain number of years
they fall into dust. The cause, it is
thought, lies in the presence of minute
quantities of saline matter with which
the objects have become impregnated
during their long burial in the soil or
under water. These microscopic i'm
purities play the part of bacteria and
microbes in living bodies. In other
words. the lead is sick" and unless
the noxious matter can be removed
will! inevitably perish. Curiously
enough. it is found that if traces Of
sal. are impaired to a fresh mass of
lead it is attacked and eventually falls
to pieces like the objects in the mu-
Scum at Cluny

and were universally excellent.
1t is to be doubted whether or not
one hundred men could be marooned
and asked to express themselves on
certain subject with half as much fe-
licity.
1t is the truth, however, that Rich
mond is, perhaps exceptional in that
its social foundations were Quaker in
origin and among this religious peo-
pie women have always been regard
ed on an exact equality with men and
have as much voice in the considera-
ton of the problems of their church
as the men.
Many women have been thus train
ed either directly or by tradition or by
"precept and example" and it has CIV
en- them a confidence in public speak
ing that influenced them in other de-
partments of social activity.
But it is the womans club that has
done the work.
1t is surprising the knowledge wom-
en- possess of the political situation in
its various aspects.
Women. as matter of fact, are the
great supporters of the papers.
1t is the women that read them.
A man skins over the headlines,

turns to the markets and settles
down to the sporting page.
But women go through it from lid
to lid, advertisements, deaths and
birth column, and all.
They are the readers of the editor
| ials.
Few men, on the average, spend
| much time on the editorial page of a
paper.
But the women do.
And this is one reason, if they are
of sufficient breadth of calibre, that
they are so we'll informed on the is
sues Of the hour in their relation to
| life as it is lived by the average cit
izen.
And this is the cause of their abil,
ity to speak germanely to subject
OF public moment without any spe-
cial preparation.
| So far as the women of Indiana are
concerned the bestowal of the fran
chise will find them in far more intel
ligent condition for it's proper opera
ton than is at present possessed by
the great body of men.
For it is the best women of the com

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
There was a time when women
were afraid of the sound of their own
voices.
When, timid and scared, they would
rise tremblingly in their places and
murmur indistinctly some unintelligi-
BILE comment or question which would
not be heard past the row in front of
them.
Nowadays you rarely get an assem-
blage of women together where the
women do not all talk and talk we'll
upon whatever point they are discuss
ing.
To what is this change largely due?
To the much derided woman's club.
There has been no other more en-
tightening agency in the modern his
tory of woman than the woman's club.
And by this is meant those organi-
cations of women originally formed
for the study of some literary topic
but which now cover thousand 9th
er phases of feminine social activity.
No doubt the largest body of influ-
entail women in this country is the
INdlloudl Ttutldl VI which .
Clubs
Nothing is more amusing than to
hear men and certain type of wom-
an denounce these aggregations of the
alleged weaker sex.
No woman's club of this character
ever worked destruction or degenera-
ton in either the home" or society
at large.
The growth of this movement in the
last quarter century has been one of
the marvels of students of the trend
of the day.
And the Heaven" that has Heaven
ed the whole lump"
For it has given women confidence
in their own judgments, an ability to
think with continuity, an opportunity
to perfect themselves in the art of
public expression and community of
! interests among themselves.
Besides, above all, it has shown
them the benefits of organization
They have learned that only in
Combination" is there strength" and
that to accomplish anything, either
for sex emolument or social good they
must get together and stay together.
They had this demonstrated to them
with such effect that they have per-
fected one of the best working ma
chimes in this country in their Fed
Grafton of Clubs.
This body of women is organized
very much after the manner of poll
| teal parties with national, state, dis
trict, county and local organizations.
| And it has given women the coun-
! try over an experience in the princi-
piles and benefits of organization and
the conduct of meetings and assem-
blys of various character that will
prove invaluable to them when they
achieve the franchise.
This has been proved in those sta.
ties where women have the vote.
That all this is the fact was dem
onstrated locally yesterday in the
first meeting of the Progressive WON
en- of the city in the home of Mrs
Foulke where about one hundred WON
en- representing various lotteries and
compilations of opinion met to dis
cuss the ACCESSIBILITY of forming them
selves into a Progressive League.
The majority expressed themselves
on the general subject of the organiza
ton of the Progressive women into
a permanent body and also upon the
propaganda of the Progressive party
it's status in this country and the
question of suffrage both here ant
abroad.
