C0NDUCTRESSES ON BUS LINE

nation Of Possible Passengers,
Anyhow.

Conductresses are to ring up the
fares on one of the new Brooklyn bus
lines which ara to supplement our
transportation facilities-if the board
OF estimate consents.
One of the lines seeking a franchise
announces that to do the conducting
only girls need apply. They didn't say
pretty girls, but let us hope that pretty
girls are meant. II she should step on
our toes while reaching for the bell
rope, her light weight and gracious
apologies will make us happy to have
been in the way
For she must be thin wasted in or.
der to squeeze by comfortably. And
we ,shall insist that she set common
sense fashion in the matter of hatpins.
Nor can she be permitted to knot her
small change in handkerchief or to
carry her bills In the unconventional
manner favored by some women shop
pers. Moreover. the company must
insist that no stops shall be made In
front OF candy stores. 1t is bad
enough to wait while the conductor
gulps beer. No passenger should be
expected to bide the conductress' con.
sumption OF an Ice cream soda.

Powerful Searehllnhta.

The new electric searchlight projec.
tors made by the Allgemeine establish
ment of Berlin are among the most
powerful yet to be produced, and their
cRndle-power. which Is too high for
measurement, can only be reckoned in
hundreds OF millionA What is striking
Is theenew method OF regulating the
arc. The large carbons are now moved
back and forth by small electric mo.
tors and suitable gears, current being
applied to the motors by q set OF re-
lays which work according to the cur
remt taken by the arc, thus securing
an automatic adjustment OF the arc
length in the best way. The base Of
the protector contains other motors
for all the searchlight movements, And
q distant lever control 10 so designed
that turning the lever In all directions
makes the protector also follow thaae
samS directions for pointing the beam.
These searchlights will carry several
miles and still give light enough to
read by.

MIGHT NOT SAMPLE BY TASTE
Darby Willing Enough to Listen to
Praises Of His Cider, But Was Not
Giving 1t Away.

Few of the negroes in the southern
states are inclined to be thrifty and
saving, though many of them are dis
posed to industry and live in consid-
cradle comfort Some, however. have
acquired the saving habit and are not
only not wasteful, but are In the local
idiom extremely nigh"
A case in point is an old man, once
the slave of the Randolphs OF Virginia,
who has become the owner of one OF
their plantations, and is quite rich. He
converts into cash everything that is
not necessary for the maintenance of
the household and gets profit from
many things that few negroes ever
think of selling incidentally he makes
cider of all the unstable apples on
his place and sells it, and though he is
very fond OF the beverage himself, he
never drinks with any of his neigh
bors, unless they pay for the cider.
A young man of the neighborhood,
who had been away for several years,
coming back home, remembered the
famous cider and dropped in to see
Uncle Wash After some general talk
he casually observed. q suppose. Uncle
Wash, you still make that good cider,
you used to make in old times?"
"Oh, yes" replied Wash, Il still
makes my apples mostly into cider"
Then he called to Aunt Dinah, his
wife, "Dnah, fetch out a god of dat
bes' cider"
The visitor naturally expected that
he was to sample the drink But not
so. The old man took the gourd and
drained every drop Then he handed
the empty vessel to the visitor.
EFF you don bIieve dat am good
cider" he said, smacking his lips, you

srowninu's DAYS Of Poverty

Among all the relics that changed
ownership in the recent Browning sale
In London the only things that could
bear the name of jewelry were the
husbands. not the wife's-a ring or
two sleeve links, studs and such

owned a jewel; a little cheap gold
brooch, but nothing more. She did not
live TO share her husbands better
prosperity, and her own habits, as
maid and wife, were frugal. A pass
age in the letters records the misgiv-

that he was extremely poor. and she,

APPEAL FOR WORTHY
OLD NEGRO NANNY

There is in our beautiful little
City, an old ante-bellum negress,
worn with the toll of years, and
bent with age, whose life has been
full of good works. She has been
faithful and true to all whom she
has served, honest and kind.
Her loving heart ever responded
to the call from the sick, for help
and attention, and her gentleness
shown to helpless childhood. All
these faithful "old mammies" are
fast disappearing, they will soon be
known only in song and story
Shall we leave them to suffer in their
old age, to be cast off after years
of long service to our parents, to us
and even our children, three gem
erations?. Surely not.
Amy one can assist this good old
soul, Aunt Sarah Tanner" Many of
you she has faithfully served. Com
ing to help when she got the
word that one of your dear ones
was i'll, burning with fever She re-
NAMED by you, following all your in
strutions and cheerfully performing
her household duties.
Send little out of your abundance
to keep her out of the 'uoor house
which she breads so much. Even a
dime to help pay her rent. A little
wood, She needs a mattress, old set
of springs put aside for the rummage
sale, old quilt or blanket, anything
that you can spare. Her things
while she was away this past winter
and spring were taken away from her
alas the cOlored people are not al
ways true to their own These arti-
Giles can be sent to Sarah Tanner,
who lives in a room back of the

She can still work "a little and this
appeal is not known to her. ANY

that it reaches her.

Gem City" will respond to this call
