Motorists Who Are Nuisances

From Leslies.
The average motorist is usually thought
full OF the rights of other road users.
and in cities even subserves his privileges
to the vagaries and pecuiiarities of the
pedestrian, who, in many instances, is
as capricious as to intention and direc-
ton as the proverbial "hen crossing tho
road" But it must be admitted that
many a driver is not as considerate OF
the rights and comfort of the residents OF
the streets through which he passes as
should be the case if the motor car is to
continue its astounding growth in popular
ity and is to become the universal con-
veyanee-else why the necessity FOR the
''arti-cutout, and UNNECESSARY born
sounding ordinances that are being
adopted in many cities?
There is no feature of motor car driv-
ing more absurd, unnecessary or nerve
raclxing to those within earshot than
the operation of a, motor with its cut
out open. There is absolutely and un-
ouelifedly no excuse for such a prac-
tice on city streets.
Even the smallest type of motor car
needs no cutout when used on city
streets, and 1t is doubtful If, under any
conditions. the added power obtained by
the use of q muffler cutout is more than
imaginary, caused by the fact that ehe
engine SO vociferously asserts Its power.
In fact, the only legitimate excuse for
the use of a muffler is in the privacy Of
ones own garage, when from the sharp
report Of the explosions, may be OBJ
served the regularity with which all
cylinders of the motor are firing.
A fear years ago the release of the
sharp sound of the motor served as
somewhat efficient warning signal and
the cutout has therefore been retained
by many manufacturers for this pur-
pose. Because of it's abuse. however, it
has lost its effectiveness and with the
marked Increase in the range and eff
cheney of the present day electrical
and mechanical warning signals we may
even assume that the motorist who uses
his cutout for this purpose is advertis
ing the fact that he has not taken the
precauton to equip his car with an ade-
quate horn or other signaling device.

.,nown only in vague fashion, and SO
it occurred to one that, especially in
ii csc days of another blockade, the
tale that this bluff sea dog would have
to tell would be well worth chronicling
for the entertainment as well as the
edifcation of readers in tho United
States

for over a year, first in his fleet foo ted
Venus" and later. in another clyde
built fiier, he dehed all the efforts of
the keenest men in the blockade of
the north to lay him by the heels. The
yarn thereof, as he spun it, begins in
the last months of 1858, when this
sea dog was engaged as captain of the
newly built Venus" one Of the finest
double-screw steamers that had been
built on the Clyde, of 400 tons burden,
250-horse power, 1870 feet long and %
feet beam, "a fine craft in all respects,
he observed, lying in ST. Georges har-
Dor, Bermuda"
About IS vessels, Captain Goldsmid
told me- left England and New York to
run the blockade during the four years
war, of which more than 40 were either
captured destroyed by their own
crews. Most of them, however. made
several runs before they came to grief
and in SO doing paid well for them--
selves. There is no earthly doubt, he
declared, that the successful running
of the blockade prolonged the war in

this blockade he attributed wholly to
the existence of the strong forts at

said he, that the bold front SO long
shown by it's occupiers had much to
do with the fact that such an attack
was not attempted until just before
the close of the war
Most of Captain Goldsmid's runs

boast that he uttered in all our long talk
that since he himself became a comman-

it was, it seems. who took out to Italy
the first English Garibaldi volunteers. and.
when he got there the temptation to do
some fighting himself proved too strong,
so fight he did. and the two gold medals
were his reward, plus the privilege of at
tending the annual dinner of Garibaldi
veterans in London, an event which was
in the nature of great function, to his
mind, and for which he donned evening
dress, and his medals, for perhaps the
only time in the year. And then there was
the Crimea! OF his doings therein as re-
lated to me- the most vivid impression
was made by his story of how he and

In his last years, by the way, the old
captain was looked after by devoted

and pathetic career. At one time she had
been an actress of considerable promi-
nence, but result of sea bathing at
Ostend, lost her hearing completely,
which. of course. ended her usefulness on
the stage. Gradually she came down to be
an ordinary servant in furnished apart
ments, in which Captain Goldsmid spent
some years. and was told off to walt on
him. Before long she was his devoted
slave, and, when he once more set up an
establishment of his own, she went, too,

result of this high wagon freight, the
most of the wheat farms are close to the
railroads, the extra freight eating up the
profits of those far away.
The labor on the Argentine railways
is largely foreign The roads are Off
cered and managed by high-priced Of
ficials from other countries. Some of
the superintendent and general man
ayers receive from $4,000 to $4,000
per year, and all such high class brains
are well paid. Farther down the scale
the salaries are greatly reduced, and
are seldom as large as similar salaries
in the United States. There is a labor
union here of engineers and firemen
known as La Fraternidad," or the
brotherhood. 1t is somewhat similar to
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers of the United States, and 1t
has had much to do with fixing rail-
road wages. According to this brother
hood, the engineers are classified in
grades, and should be paid according
to the length of service There are now
five grades and the wages of engineers
range from $50 to 1920 per month.
Firemen get from about $40 to SIS per
month. The days are graduated by
hours and the maximum working day
under express orders is IL hours, al
though in case of accidents or extra
ordinary occasions it may be longer.

a light pair of Mower masts, without any
halyard across them, the only break in
their outline being small crows nest,
on the foremast, to be used as lookout
place The hull, which showed about eight
feet Dove water, was painted dull
gray to render her as nearly as possible
invisible in the night. The boats were
lowered square with the gunnels. Coal
was taken on board of a nature that never
smoked, the funnel being what is called

deck. In order that no noise might be
made, steam was blown off in case of
a sudden stop under water. In fact, we

a necessary precaution.'
How many voyages he made between
the Bermudas and Wilmington the old
captain could not say, but they all were
