 In Remarkable Time-Entire System Runs Like Clockwork.

New York, Nov 15-In less than four hours on Saturday the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Go unloaded at New Haven 20.232 passen- gers, asrecord performance for 8 YaIe- Princeton. football game. In 1913, the year of the previous YaIe-Prince- ton game at New taaven,f 6, 060 pas sengers were unIoaded at New Ha- cen. or 4, ,o0O less than on Saturday,
 Of the total of 20. .232 passengers transported on Saturday to New Ha- ven. 13.277 were carried in special and regular trains from New York, and 6. 955 went from Boston and other points on the New Haven railroad. It required the use of 23 special trains and 22 regular trains to transport these Ipassengers. On the special trains there were carried 13, ,262 pas sengers in a total of 244 cars, or an, average of 577 per train, and 55 per car.@ On the regular trains 6,970 pas gers were carried in g trains having a total of 150 passenger carrying cars, or an average of 317 passengers to a train and 46 passengers to car.
 Leaving New Haven after the game, 20 special and 22 regular trains car ried 19.678 passengers, most of whom wereeorl special trains leaving be- tween 5 p. m. and p. The special trains carried 13,307 passen-

The total number of passengers carr riedSto and from New Haven in com nectfoi1@with the 7Rfinceton game was 9,910, which compares with total for the previous YaIe-Princeton- game at New Haven of 32,S58. an in crease for this years travel of 7.052. Of this total, 26,569 were carried in special trains, an increase over the traffic in special trains in 1913 of 1O.- S73; while the traffic in regular trains crease of S,S21 over the figures for 1913.
 There were no mishaps of any kind to mar the record made by the com pany in the transportation of this huge extra traffic. and the entire system ran as smoothly as clock work. Of the 45. trains, regular and special 32 were on time and the others were but few late. Fourteen trains arrived in New Haven ahead of the schedule The total number of minutes late of all trains arriving in New Haven dur ing the morning of the game was 113 or an average of about # minutes per train. Considering the unusual congestion of traffic resulting from the large number of special trains this record is a remarkable one.
 All traffic from New Y York city was moved by electric current. The first train to leave New York was at 7:56 a. m. and the last train at 11:25 a. m. The first to arrive in New Haven was at 9:5S and the last was 1:04 D. rn., or in ample time to go from the sta tion to the Yale Bowl without hurry

fk ANURTGlS
 THE NEWEST DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N Y Experiments at Doctor Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that there, is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inhaIn- mation-as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sed1- nnent in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surely ~Anuric" acts The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheuma matism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so freouentIy and consistently accom- pany the disease rapidly disappear.
 Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for 50-cent package of & Anuric," manufactured by pr. Pierce, or even write Doctor Pierce for free sample If you suspect kidney or b1ad- der trouble, send him 8 sample of your water and describe symptoms. Doctor Dr. Pierce will report to you; without fee or charge.
 NOTE = French scientists affirm that w Anuric" is thirty seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid. and is 8 harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actually wish to restore their kidN eys to perfect health, bv conscientiously using one box or more in extreme cases = as yHAnur1c" :" (thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievementl is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector obtainable.

or fear of missing the kickoff. Some idea of the problem Involved in moving this enorm ous crowd stosand from New Haven, and toedos it safely and to operate the system without Ill-' terfering with regular time schedules, may be gained from the fact that the operating and traffic departments of the company have been at work for weeks perfecting the plans and devis- ing safeguards against mishaps A 2O-page pamphlet was issued as a guide for the employees of the corn-i pany; special telephones were insta1l- ed at various points in yards and ter-f
 minds to facilitate the movement of, trains; officers of the traffic, operating, lengin eering and mechanical depart ments were stationed at different points on the route to look after mat ters pertaining to their respective de- partments in case their help were needed; and other detailed arrange ments were perfected to5 make the transportation of these thousands ot passen gers as safe and efficient as i< possibly could be. :, The crowd was extremely we'll OF dered. which helped to make. the work of the company considerably easier and more pleasant. There appeared to be a. we11-founded confidence that the New Haven would get them to the game and take them back home with out crowding or delay, and this ,conf- dence had much to do with the make up of the trains which. came into ana went out of New Haven either under loaded or with sufficient passengers to fill the seats and no more.
 President Elliott has congratulated the officers and. employees through Operating Vice President A. R. Wha- ley and General Manager c. U. Bardo on the good work performed.

THE PAINTER OF DOUGLASS.

Frederic Douglass, aside from being
high calibered orator and statesman,
possessed those strong facial features
which are looked upon today as max
ing up the classic face. If possible,
there is more soul, power, penetration
and depth reflected in the face OF
Douglass than any of the worlds
celebrities. Therefore, to have paint
ed truely and happily the penetrating
eyes, the living, bristling gray-white
hair, the almost cultivated jaw, and
that glorious brozned pigment of skin
was an accomplishment that many art
lists have sought, but only one has
found the powerful expression. That
man is Robert Bell, artist and por-
trayer of human face and profile. Mr..
Bell is of Topeka, Kas., is fairly well
known in his native and adjoining
states as a successful painter of dig
nified subjects among colored people.
His paintings of Bishop Grant are Gre
ations of real art. Allen chapel owns
one of these. The Eighth Street Meth
odist church of Kansas City, Kas.,
owns another.
Mr. Bell has modestly made some
noise in winning premiums at state
fairs. A front drop landscape scene
used in a Topeka theater has won
him considerable fame. He is extra.
ordinarily swift with the pencil or
brush. By the way, Mr.. Bell has agreed
to give a free exhibition of lightning
pictures" at the League Enterprise art
parlor. In this they say he is deX-
ferrous and marvellous. Mr.. Bell will
sing and paint the "Holy City" Star
Spangled Banner" and other noted
numbers by music. This feat is great.
The Douglass painting is now on ex-
hibition at the League Enterprise.
Hundreds are viewing it with pleas
ure. Remember the lightning eXhi-
bition" will be on Friday evening at
s o'clock sharp and will be FREE!
FREE! FREE!

coLoRED MAN SCIENTIFIC.
Shows Advanced Methods in Dyeing-
o. X. Cleaners Now In 1900
Block on 18th.

BLOCK on 16tn.
o. K. cleaners have a meaning
above the ordinary. 1t practically
means that every garment placed with
the firm passes through the best scien-
tifio process known in cleaning, dye
ing and repairing. finally to come out
to the pleased customer for his unde-
niable o. X. approval. Mr.. F. S. Phil
lips, the thoughtful and progressive
sponsor of these new ideas in clothes
preservation, has proven a wizard in
using various dyes. Persons of his
cult have sought vainly for dye that
would leave a garment in the same
even texture as it was before dyeing
Some said it was impossible. Others
said it couldn't be done. Mr.. Phillips
said: "It can be done" Result:
Phillips none-shrinking compound"
What's more, Mr.. Phillips has real
U. S. patent on this invention which is
guaranteed to protect the natural fab
ric while its color is being changed.
Good! Did you say? Yes, and many
of the well known cleaners and dyers
of the city think this also, as many
of them come to Mr.. Phillips for this
non-shrinking compound.
The o. K Cleaners have the exclu-
sive merit of doing absolutely all of
their actual cleaning and dyeing right
within their own establishment. They
have always done this, but in their
new place, which affords more space,
they are installing a real, up-to-date
plant with ample machinery for car
rying on every department of service.
This means that you can place your
garments here in the morning and re-
ceive them back the same day with
renewed, rich and young finish.
Mr. Phillips has an original and eff
fective stationary of pressing ma
chimes with new and improved iron.
This iron is colossal affair but so
constructed as to be handled with
ease and dexterity even by a child.
The iron is heated both by steam and
gas and hangs over the pressing pad
on a stout rod which may be placed
in any position. The old sponge meth.
cd is eliminated by having a lever on
the iron. When touched it moistens
the garment evenly and beautifully.
AS deeply in the business as her stall
wart husband, Mrs. Phillips excells in
the handling of silks and extra fine
garments. Mr.. Phillips unhesitating
ly gives her first place in this line
Her ability to overcome spotting and
other delicate difficulties in silks is
well known.
Visitors will be asked to examine
the plant and see everything worked
out in detail. The place is now CEN
trally located right in the heart of
the business district, at 1913 East 18th
street, between the Paseo and Vine
streets. Bell phone East 2431.
