PULLMAN CAR DETERMINATIONS

The Pullman Company has been or
dered to appear before the California
Railroad Commission November 18th,
and explain its practices, rules and
regulations" Among the things the
commission wants to find out are the
following: Why upper berths are
pulled down when not occupied, max
ing lowers stuffy and cramped; why
the conductors answer, "No lowers
left" SO often proves to have been a
mistake the next morning; why a
passenger cannot get his berth made
up when he wants it, but must await
the pleasure of the porter; how much
the company depends on passengers
tips in figuring porters' wages.
While this investigation is going
on in California the women all over
the land should rise in indignation
and demand to know why they are
Disseminated against by the Pullman
Car Company. While the men are
provided with ample smoking, dress
ing and toilet accommodations, a lit
tie dinkey concern is set apart as the
dressing room for women, not large
enough for an ordinary large woman
to turn around in. The women are
shamefully imposed upon and dis
eliminated against on nearly all the
Pullmans. The matter should be call
ed to the attention of the interstate
railway commission

There is a great deal said about the
falling off of church attendance. Per-
haps it is because the "old time re-
ligion" that in former days was
preached so vigorously, and proved
such a drawing card, seems to have
gone into "inocuous dessuetude' in
the pulpits. For instance, the New
York World says that until the Rev.
Urmy preached there in the Methodist
church last Sunday it was thought
that Morristown, n. j., the presidents
home state, was one of the incest and
most moral little towns in the coun-
try, but its inhabitants were told that
the morals of the community were
in a frightful condition; that young
men and young women educated them
selves in open looseness; that the the
alter, the dance and the dress of wo-
men were responsible for the situa-
ton; that the clothing worn by some
of the women and girls were donned
with the full knowledge that it was
suggestive, disgraceful and indecent"
People tire of this constant knocking
and extravagant illusions to the inn
modesty in the dress of our women,
whom the average citizen believes
are only immodest in the eyes of
those who are themselves abnormally
out of joint, and are always on the
search for the immodest and I'M
chaste. The average church-goer
wants to hear an occasional sermon
on the 'old time religion" Let us
have a rest on the dresses worn by
women.

STILL TOYING WITH THE AIR

Capt. NJ. A. Batson, former officer
in the United States army, is building
on Dutch island, near Savannah, big
hydro-aeroplane. He is backed by the
Batson Air Navigation Company. He
is confident when his big ship is COM
pleted that he will be able to make
the passage across the Atlantic.
If he is successful in his efforts to
cross the Atlantic he will be heralded
as the pioneer in the transatlantic
air service, which one day will be an
established enterprise, besides win
ming the distinction and honor of hav-
ing accomplished so daring a feat.
The men who have helped build the
machine are as confident as he that
the fostered plan will be successfully
carried out. He will not want for
volunteers to accompany him on his
initial flight.
When his hydro-aeroplane is ready
there will be no faltering. no hesita-
tion on the part of it's commander.
Neither does he contemplate trying
any fancy stunts in the air, which
have spelled the ruin of many ma
chimes and caused the death of more
aviators. He intends to fly, and fly
in straight lines.
If the Atlantic ocean can be cross
ed in an aeroplane, and Capt. Batson's
machine will do it, it will be done

FIFTXSEvEN SKELETONS UN-
EARTHED IN LEE COUNTY

Great stories have been told of the
race of people that resided in south
Florida, even before the Indians came.
Few facts have been brought out, but
in various sections the Mound Build
ers" have left their marks; and all
kinds of conjectures have been indulg-
ed in as to who and what they were,
but it has fallen to the lot of a Lee
county contractor to get hold of some
testimony that may yet lead to the
more perfectly getting at what these
people were, possibly divulging some
thing along the line of the many sto-
ries that have been told of the pirat-
ical days along the west coast of Flor
ida. OF course just beginning has
been made, and it may not lead to
anything, but surely an investigation
will now be made, and knowing SO lit
tie, great deal may yet be learned
of ancient doings in Lee county. Just
read this remarkable story that is to
follow:
NJ. A. Pearl, constructing engineer,
who is in charge of procuring the
shell for the McGregor boulevard,
brought to the city yesterday the sto-
ry of the finding of fifty-seven human
skeletons by his party earlier in the
week in a shell embankment at
Sword Point.
| Sword Point is really an island, OPP
posite Punta Rassa, at the mouth of
the Caloosahatchee river. About 8
O'Clock Wednesday night, while the
gang was working by freight, one of
the negroes struck into the shell bank
with his pick, and, to put it very mild
ly, was surprised when a human skull
rolled down the bank at his feet What
that negro did in the running line was
something else, and it was half an
hour before the crowd could be got
ten together and to work.
The work of excavation was contin-
ued up to noon yesterday, and by the
time they knocked off, fifty-seven
skeletons had been unearthed. Pho
tographs were taken of the mound
and bones by Mr.. Pearl, adm brought
to F. w. Hunt of Fort Myers to be
developed.
The shell bank bears all the ear
marks of being an ancient breastwork.
in the form of three sides of square,
one facing the river on the south, with
east and west wings. The bodies
were all facing the river, and were ap-
parently buried as they fell. without
any regularity. No arms, ornaments
or jewelry were found, the only thing
in the nature of impediments being
an old broken jar, clasped in the
arms of one of the skeletons.
Nothing was found to indicate what
race of people the deceased belonged
to, nor when they met their fate. 1t
was evidently prior to the Indian
wars, and the most plausible sugges-
ton is that the spot was the scene of
a fierce conflict, lost to history, in the
| days of pirates and gal1eons, and that

In the election last Tuesday II was
not entirely a victory for the "wets,"
for FIVE of the eleven saloons in the
county were closed, and at least half
the territory is "dry"-so IL was al
most dog fall" The closing Of the
saloons in Dunnellon is but little
short of a miracle. and the change
from wet" to dry" will be watched
with considerable interest, and II the
revolution in public sentiment there
produces the healthful changes that
many of the "drys" so hopefully and
confidently predicted, and the town
undergoes a steady development
along material as well as moral lines.
it will have very influential bearing
in the next wet" or dry election.
We extend our congratulations to

The man who sets himself up as
"reformer" thinks that he can only
become one by announcing his candi-
dacy for office. But to become re-
former one must needs not hold big
office. The greatest reformers of the
world were not the biggest office hold
ers.
