HAGERSTOWN, Md., Nov. 6, 19W.
Aooording to rumors in railroad circles,
an important change in traffic will take
place about January 1 on the Western
Maryland. These rumors are based on re
liable Information and are to the effect
that through freight trains will be run from
Harrisburg and Baltimore to Elkins. W.
Va.. If trackage accommodation can be
secured from the Baltimore and Ohio. Pas
senger trains will also be run through to El
kins. It is understood that the Western
Maryland has ordered twenty-seven vesti
bule coaches that are intended for the ser
vice. New mail cars also will be used on
this run. The run from Baltimore to this
city may be extended to Cumberland. The
recent meeting of the Western Maryland
and West Virginia people with the Balti
more and Ohio was, it is understood, to
come to some understanding in regard to
the Western Maryland using the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks from Cherry Run to Cum
berland until the connection between those
places is built.
The United Telephone Company, which
recently absorbed the Maryland Telephone
Company of Hagerstown, has awarded the
contract for 600 poles to be used In con
structing the new line from Boonsboro' to
Frederick. When this line Is completed
Hagerstown will have connection with Bal
timore over the United wires. Thirty-ive
men are now at work in the vicinity of
Sharpsburg running two copper wires which
will connect Hagerstown with Virginia and
West Virginia towns.
The Western Maryland railroad corps of
survey engineers, under Chief Engineer
Vandeventer, has moved to Baltimore.
The open season for shooting quail and
rabbits began November 1. While many
persons have observed the law and waited
for the opening to enjoy a hunt, others

Rabbits and partridges are getting very
scarce.
The Downsville and Williamsport Turn
pike Company has been incorporated. The
directors are Isaac Long. John H. Snavely,
Grafton Downs, George Downey and Chas.
D. Downs. The capital stock is $5,000, di
vided into 200 shares at $25 each. The com
pany will construct and operate a toll road
. from Williamsport to Downsville.
The question of constructing a big steel
L bridge across the Shenandoah river at Cas
I tleman's Ferry was decided in favor of the
plan which provides for the issuance of
$40,000 in bonds. The structure will be

TREES DRINK LIKE HORSES.
Plan to Irrigate an Orchard by
Capillary Attraction.
From the Denver Post.
Irrigation en the capillary attraction
principle is now being investigated by the
state board of horticulture and the govern
ment experiment station at Fort Collins
with a view to recommending it for adop
tion in this state. Fruit growers who have
experimented with the scheme declare it to
be entirely feasible and much more ef
fective than the old way of feeding mois
ture to trees by way of the roots.
Flage Carter of Park county, the first
person to try the plan in this state, wrote
Governor Orman some time ago explaining
the method of irrigating a tree by capillary
attraction. He takes a vessel, a pan ot; a
bucket, or anything that can be tied to a
tree limb and will hold water. He fills it
with water and then bends a twig about
the circumference of an ordinary lead pen
cil into the water. The liquid will be rap
idly absorbed by the twig, and in turn the
water will enter the limb and soon per
meate every part of the tree. The problem
of keeping the vessels supplied with water
is not a difficult one, for the reason that a
half gallon of water wili do as much irri
gating as many cubic inches under the
present plan, the adherents of the scheme
claim.
"Capillary attraction Is the future of or
chard Irrigation," says the originator of
fthe proposition. "I took up the matter
two years ago, but did not put It to a
tfinal test until this spring. Then I had two
trees that needed attention badly, and I
experimented with each. One young tree
fhad been rubbed 'thoroughly by a horse
t and was wilted badly. I applied my method
- of watering It, and within one week it com
pletely revived. I next treated a sick apple
tree, and now It Is all right, thanks to
capillary attraction principle."
London Crime.
From the Baltimore Herald.
Rarely does any 'Ifficial report contain
such depressing matter as that on prisons
just issued from the home office. It for
mally records that during last year the
number of people in prisons Increased by
between 17,000 and 18,000, as compared with
the previous year. In London criminality
has so largely Increased that between 3,000
and 4,000 prIsoners of both sexes have to
be transferred to provincial jails for lack
of adequate accommodation in the metrop
olis. Nor is this terrible growth of law
lessness of an abnormal character; It ap
pears. to have -acquired normality, judging
from 'the fact that the number of London
communIties inc:eased from 38.373 In 1891
to 53,591 In 1901. During the whole of this
period, and long before, our highly improv
ed and extremely costly educational ma
chinery was In full operation as a correc
tive of criminal instincts, but, so far as can
be seen,'1t appears to have rather acted as
a stimulant. One thing is quite clear, at
all events-the existing system of punish
ment does not produce that deterrent In
fluence among persons predisposed to crime
which was hoped for. It may be too mild
or too drastic; on that question we offer no
opiniob. But the matter is of such vital
consequence to the well being of this coun
Stry that some change cannot be much lon
ger delayed. Prison authorities, Including
the commissioners, naturally believe that
r the punitive methods they have elaborated
'with such long andi painful care cannot be
11 improved upon. But public opinion will be
a hard to convince that a system under which
1 the criminality largely and continuously
.expands can be of ideal excellence. -

FABLE8 OF THE CHINESE
R MORAT ThUTj'S WEICK
TRT $vvEY.
=umor Contained in Most of Them
Story of the Crows and
the Owls.
From the New York Evening Post.
There Is a pleasing humor in most Chi
nese fables which renders them highly
readable, and, in the application, serves as
a -sugar-coating to the pill. This humor
crops out is the very first fable of which
the Chinese have any record. It is to be
found in the "Histories of the Contending
States." where a certain prince uses It as
an illustration of the need of a wholesome
unity among those who, though entertain
ing internecine feuds, have cause to com
bine against a common foe. "A mussel was
basking on the bank of a river," so rays
this fable, when a big bittern came by.
Seeing it move, the fowl put its head on
one side and watched it. Then it drew nenr
and pecked at the mussel; but that wily
shellfish. clapped its jaws' together like a
trap and held the bird's beak fast. Then
said the bittern: "If you don't open today,
and if you don't. turn me loose tomorrow,
some one will find a dead mussel lying
about here." To which the mussel made
reply, "If I don't open today, and if I
don't release you tomorrow, they will see
a dead bittern holding up his toes on the
beach." At this point a fisherman came by
and seized the pair of them.
Moral of the Fables.
Most Chinese fables point a wholesome
moral, nor is it difficult to see the applica
tion of the foregoing. Another quaint little
story illustrates the similarity of the Chi
nese mind to that of more enlightened
races, for it plays the part of a satire on
the perntcions habit of borrowing trouble.
Where we talk of two old women min
gling their tears on the bank of a deep
pool in inconsolable grief at what might
have happened if little Freddy had fallen
in their and been drowned, the Chinese
have the following. A certain rich old man
of the Ch'i state gave his annual party to
commemorate his birthday, and invited all
his sons and grandsons to grace the occa
sion. In the midst of the jollifications.
however, he was observed sitting apart
with an expression of woe upon his face.
Being asked what was the matter, he re
plied, "I was only thinking what trouble I
should have in Inviting all my guests when
my two hundredth birthday came round."
The fable which is least likely to rust
for want of handling in China is one which
gives in a clear fashion the advice: Never
put faith in a renegade. In all countries
renegades should be handled with a pair of
tongs; but it seems in China there is es
pecial need for a strong fable to point the
advice, for in duping and being duped the
great pure empire has no equal.
The Crows and the Owls.
The crows and the owls, having their re
spective colonies adjoining, were so near
and dear to each other that there was no
love lost on the boundary line. They hated
each other with a hate passing that of
neighbors. By day, when the owls slept,
the crows tormented them, and by night.
when the crows slept, the owls were not
found irresponsive in the neighborly solic
itude. The slaughter among the crows was
great, and one morning. after counting the
slain, a many-wintered crow shook his
head and said that the only way to preserve
their peace was to exterminate the owls.
He then directed his friends to peck him
and pull most of his feathers out. They did
so, and it was a most badly handled look
ing crow that put his head on one side and
winked his eye and strutted off to play his
game upon the owls.
Arrived at their dwelling. he asked them
to take pity on him. as he was in a sorry
plight, and the Vermilion Bird forgave him
for ever having set up as a crow-a de
graded creature that -attacks one of his own
kind, pecks it almost to death and then
turns it out. They heard his tale and
pitied him. Very soon he was comfortably
lodged in the owls' domicile, where he lay
low till his feathers were grown again.
Then one morning, as the winter was com
ing on, he set to work and piled great heaps
of brushwood before the mouth of the owls'
dwelling, saying that he foresaw a heavy
snowstorm and wished to protect them.
When everything was complete, the wily
crow, watching his opportunity when the
owls were within, snatched a burning brand
from a peasant's fire and set the funeral
pyre in a blaze. Then, as they flew out
and were scorched, he stood with his legs
apart holding his sides with laughter at
their dying struggles. This fable, however,
although very much used by the Chinese,
was probably derived from an Indian
source.
The Fox and Tiger.
Another, which Is purely Chinese. is re
markable for its subtlety. A tiger was
making preparations to devour a fox, when
the sly one claimed some consideration from
the fact that he was superior to all other
animals of the forest. "And 'if you want
proof of the fact," he continued, "come
with me and I will show you." They then
walked together through the forest, and all
the other animals fled before them. The
tiger, seeing this, glanced at his companion,
and was struck with the lordly manner in
which he waved the other animals off.
"Verily," he said, "this is the king of
beasts;" and, being too stupid to see that
he himself was the object of terror and re
spect, he decided not to attack the fox.
Real American Music.
Frorn the New York Tribune.
Arthur Farwell of Boston, who has been
attending the Americanist congress ses
sion In this city, is an American composer
whose position in the world of music is
exceptional in that he has a whole field of
his own. Mr. Farwell first became known
for harmonizing Indian melodies and leg
ends that were obtained by Miss Alice
Fletcher from the Omaha tribe. He sets to
musIc the stories of the Indian, not tran
scribing the actual notes, but utilizing the
spirit of the melody and legend. His first
labors in this. field were offered at Cornell
University, in the musical department. Mr.
F4arwell is now at work developing these
into larger compositions, of which he has
finished three-JDawa,-" - "Ichibuzzhi,'' a
dance, and the "Doma-in of Hflrricane, the
Indian God of Wind ' The latter is from
the Inichi tribe of Central American In
dians, being a legend the theme of which
is the god Hurricane sweeping over the
Water calling forth the earth. Mr. Farwell
has just finished an adaptation of the Mawa
dani, a ceremony of the- Omahas, where the
familHes of the tribe are called by a herald
to offer gifts and" rOejoide in their happi
ness, Mr., Farwell said yesterday at the
Waldorf: "Thiere' is a big field for musical
endeavor in xpativ,e. Indian melodies, and it
is our real American music."
Creole Names.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Somne of tie -prettiest -names I have ever
kiown .are. found among the negroes who
live on plantations in Louisiana," said an
old citizen, "and- where -they get thepn and
what they mean ar questions which,.I am
not prepared to answer. They are Crtale
names, or are made up of Creole sounds,
but so far as I know they have no mcaning
whatever, even in -the 'patois spoken by a
large element of the Louisiana population.
Negrezs who' speak thle Dnglish language
in the .dialect peculiar to the black man in
the south are noted for simplicity in nam

quently the glest and most repulsive
members -imag,nable-wear the prettiest
and most poetic names known in history.

tants.
From the Naulla Jwsticia.
Mdnila has a population of some 8t0og0
people, divided as follows: Natives. 23,0Ul
Chinese, 65,000, and others, principally
Americans, 10,000. It is a quaint, old-fash
ioned city,'built upon the northeastern shore
of the bay, which is nearly round 'End
about twenty-fbur miles across. The bousm
are principally built of manufactured stone
and are one, two and three story structures.
The walls are from two to four fect thick
and built to withstand the earthquakes. and
do-that is, the less severe ones. The strcets
are tolerably straight and from thirty to
sixty feet wide, with the majority of them
about thirty-five feet.
The city is lighted very poorly with tee.
trie lights. There is a street car line, the
cars being drawn by small ponics: The
telephone system is poor. Manila has a very
good waterworks system, presented to the
municipality by a Filipino who has dtpart
ed this life. the coridition of the gift being
that the por people should always have
water free, and public hydrants are ac
cordingly well distributed about the city.
The Pasig river courses through the city;
from the northeast to the southwest. lie
low the first bridge, above the mouth of
the river, at the famous "bridge of Spain."
the river is wide and deep, and is constantly
crowded with commercial boats of ell de
scriptions. It is a sight worth a long jour
ney to see.
The churches and cathedrals are a
marked feature of Manila. Their gra::aiur,
and in many instances elegance, is a won
der and surprise to the stranger. And the
bells, the "beautiful bells." the de;otion
of the people their music foretells. Those
who do not like them think they are
something "awful." On feast days. and
tnere are many, business in -the immediate
vicinity of a church has at times to be
suspended during their ringing, and that is
many times during the day, and it is not
unusual for them to be heard at mi:lnight,
and they always mingle with the voires of
a myriad of cocks crowing all over the
city at 3 and 6 o'clock in the morning.
The people go to bed early and rise farly.
The first thing we hear in the morning is
the sweeping of the streets or the tinning
of the hydrant after the cock crowing and
the ringing of the bells has ceased. Fires
are lighted by the poorer class at an c arly
hour, by many before it is fairly light, and
the women prepare breakfast. so the men
can go about the live-long day in many in
stances doing nothing, and an easy time
they have. The women, too, for th t mat
ter. It is safe to say that there are no poor
people on earth. who are more conte t and
suffer less for the necessities of life than
the Filipino people. It is not be^ause
"ignorance is bliss" either. They simply
obtain without much exertion the comforts
of life.
The Chinese are the bone andsinew of Ma
nila and the only people here who take kind
ly to manual labor. The Americans hete are
no fonder of hard work than the th 1-i11
pino. The "walled city" contains p"oirily
two-fifths of the population of Man'i :nd
but a small portion of the whoIe-aic :nd
retail business. The courts, the government
buildings, both civil and military. mrd the
principal schools are in the "wallyd e;y."
To our liking. the climate is perfect. N.-'r
hot like it is in the United States. I , nug
the rainy seas"n there is a cleanliness :u:l a
freshness that is always invigorating. a-1
the dry season is a change, but no: so
healthy.
AS TO CURING HICCOUGHS.
Yawning Said to Be the Only Certain
and Speedy Remedy.
From the New Orlears Tin:es-Denioernt.
"Yawning is bout the best cure I know
of for the hiccoughs." said an observant
man, "and I have stumbled on the truth
quite by accident. It was proved in my,
case a sure cure, and by reflection T am
convinced that it is a perfectly logleal re
sult, a result explainable, too, on phyical
grounds.
"All kinds of remedies are resorted to by
men who suffer periodically with hicco.ghs,
like stopping the ears and drinking a glass
of water slowly and without a stop, or by
holding the breath, or counting, or think
ing intently on some subject, and in many
other ways. I have tried all of these rem
edies, and at times have been fairly suc
cessful in checking the hiccoughs. Again.
I have seen each one of these remedies f-iT.
In my own experience, so far as these rem
edies are concerned, drinking a glas of
water slowly and without breathing is th.e
most satisfactory. But it is torturing
enqugh. On the other hand, the yawn Is
not only efficacious, but it is aboiutc-ly
without any of the torturing features.
There is, as I said before, probably a good
physical reason for the yawn being a good
remedy for the hiccoughs.
"The hiccoughs is described as b ing a
modified respiratory movement. a spasmod
Ic inspiration. consisting of a contractionr
of the diaphragm, accompanied with '-osure
of the glottis, so that further entrance of
air is prevented. The impulse of the col
umn of air entering and striking upon the
closed glottis produces the sound peculiar
to the ailment. It is reasonable to assume
that anything that would relieve the c-on
tracted state of the diaphragm. and would
reopen the closed glottis, or partially open
it, so,.the air could enter in a normal way,
would completely relieve the situation. . tt
would seem that the yawn, which is nuoth
ing more than a deep, long breath, would
bring about this result. While the yawn is
supposed to be an involuntary miovement,
due to drowsiness, It is yet a fact that a
man can yawn at pleasure. This hcing
true, it is easily within a man's power to
cure the hiccoughs by resorting to the very
simple practice of yawning. Of course. I
cannot say that in all cases of hic~'ough.s
the yawn will prove a good remedy. But I
believe In all ordinary cases, where th'- an
noyance Is not aggravated, the yawn will
do the work. At any rate, my own .experl
ence has convinced me of the fact. anid, be
sides, there are the pihysical conditions to
which I have referred,"
ONE BESOURCE LEFT.
The Automobilists Can Try Airships
for a Diversion.
From the Chicago Chronicle,
Things are coming the aultomobilist's way '
these days, but they are things that he
does not yearn for,
First we had the direful intelligence that
an- aristocratic New York "chaffeur" had
been sent to lal. where he was inco-nun
ently soused into the prison bathtub. ar
rayed in a striped suit and shorn . f his
fiowing locks by the prison barber before
his attorneys could get a wrIt of super
sedeas.
Now comes the positively appalling news
that W. K. Vanderbilt, who Ignored the
summons of a Parisian magistrate as he
would have waved aside a similar iperti
nence from a Manhattan functionary, haa
been sentenced by default to two days In
jail., and will be pounced upon bv the
French constabulary if he ever sets foot in -
Paris arain.
These things warrant a revival 'if the
historic inquiry: Whither are we drifting?
If it has come to a pass where the opu
lent pronrietor of a devil wagon can no
longer go out in the afternoon and disinle
grate a few of the proletariat without dan
ger of getting into jahi.it is evident..that
the enor't of automnobillng, even though it
Is distinctly a recreation of the better
classes, will have to be abandoned in favor
of something 'else.
In such an emergency it might be sug
gested that aeromoting offers a fine field
for the exercise of those activities which
have been repressed by the judicial - deci
sions referred to. There can be no possible
objection to our aristocracy and landedI
gentry going Into the airship line.
