Xkwpobt (R. I.), June 23, 1890.— are
very many lovely spots along the sea In Europe
where people idle and bathe. Our own coast
has countless witching places for summer en
joyment. But alter one has experienced all their
delights, I think there ls an excusable longing
i.. lie heart to get hack here to noble old New
port.
lv a former time the commerce of Ibis splendid
harbor was but second ln America. _So spot

Hiid stirring renaissance lv American lale-teblug
might be haply built. In Hreutons Gove there
s a li. ill-hour's pleasant idling, when tbe cat
yawl skipper will spin you many an olden yarn;
and at Fort Adams, where au Interesting stroll
may be commenced , the real seaward outlook of
the splendid old city Is first enjoyed.
1 i inn this point a suuuy day's sauntering ls
delightful, as are the clamberings from cliff to
shore past ancient Castle Hill and Us dimly dis
tinguished revolutionary ramparts, around lo
the southernmost portion of the island, Graves
Point. From here along the entire southern

I shore for nutes, mere are point and piomouioiy,
iedyre and reef, ana cove and bay innumerable ai

behind you, and countless craft, far and near,

All along the eastern shore are grandeur,

such wealth of scene in snore and bay, Island

was In property ol Ilia Ketnbles as late as

Dnyeas, the Wakemaus, and finally by ihe
Whitings, wbose heirs now live la Hie veritable
mansion, disguised from recognition by expen
sive remodeling, lo winch ibe ancient summer
house was attached. The structure was an odd
conceit of an eccentric owuer. It was octagonal
in shape, eighteen feet In diameter, containing
but oue apartment, v. lib a door facing tbo.
Passaic ou tbe east, and Willi single windows
opening to each of tlio three oilier cardinal
points; for, says Geoffrey Crayon, it was one
of Cockloft's Idiosyncrasies "to bave all bis

which stirred ihe American literary world In the
first quarter of our century through "Salma

trived for public leastlng.
A few weeks since, while eu route by steamer
from Marseilles to Algiers, the ship's second
officer, several Algerian officials and myself
were enjoying the balmy night at a late hour on
deck, relating Instances ol Individual bravery
and noble sacrifice having come under our per
sonal observation, when the second officer gave
lis tins incident:
" On the 141b of October, 1882, I witnessed an
act of supreme heroism and sacrifice at sea. 1
was a passenger on board the steamship Cyprian
or the l_"Vland, Liverpool and Mediterranean
line, which was wrecked that dale on Merrill
Bock, on Carnarvon Bay, Wales. She struck lv
a gieat gale, sometime during the first watch,
between 8 aud 12 o'clock at ntfthi. and break
ing up last, went to pieces long before daylight.
A- we were passing Holyhead, au hour or so
before the accident, a stowaway, a pale, trem
bling, half-starved boy of perhaps 15, had been
hulled liom Ihe coal-bunkers aud set to some
menial employment. No ship's bo. I could be
manned, the storm was so frightful. The shore
lite- boat could not get to us. and one by one sev
eral on board had plunged into the sea, prefer
ling their chances ol getting ashore to ueath on
the rock- when the Cyprian Anally went to
pieces. About 3 o'clock ln the morning the
captain, wno-e name was J. A. Strachan, a half
dozen under officers and meu and the little
stowaway were huddled together on deck await
ing the final strugcle. The desperate fear aud
despair of the lad weie (rightful to behold. No
ticing ihis, Uapiaiii Slrachan removed the life-belt
from bis own nelson, and, fastening It about Ihe
boy. said quietly: 'Here, my poor lad, you've
more need of this than V Shortly alter, the
Cyprian went io pieces with a crash. I don't
kuow bow many of that last little group of us
were saved. I was rescued; the stowaway was
picked up alongshore and resuscitated, but the
dead body of that greatest and noblest hero I
ever knew or read of. Captain Strachan, was
washed ashore some days afterward. He delib
erately gave his life to save that of a helpless
stowaway."
Tins would be a pathetic tale, even were It a
romance. Hut I took the trouble in Liverpool,
receutlv. of going to the Ley laud offices, at the
font of James street, and securing proof of its
truthfulness in every particular.
When one recalls the fact that millions upon
millions of dollars in gold annually seek Europe
to in ovule for tbe necessities of our Import trade
the question oi now gold Is shipped to Europe
becomes un interesting oue. Tbe Bank of
America ls the largest single shipper of gold
from New York and Indeed from the United
Stales. Shipments are made In stout kegs, very
much like the ordinary beer-keg. Every one
contains $50,000 in coin or bar gold. The latter
Is the favorite tor these shipments since ihe
Government has permitted the Sub-Treasury
to exchange coin lor bar gold, as coin iv a
single million dollar shipment Is liable to
loss by abrasion of from eight to twenty
ounces, or from $128 to (320, while the bars
oniy lose about three-fourths of that value.
Where coin is sent double eagles are pre.etred-
Tliev are put ill stout canvas baits, each one con
taining 125 double eagles, or $5000; and 10 bans
fill each keg. About the only precaution taken
against tampering with kegs Is a treatment of
keg-ends lecliulcallv known as "led-laping. '

figures, but this has become a couutry ol large
figures aud affairs.
It is an exceedingly nimble fellow-citizen that
ever gets Hie advantage of Mr. Jay Gould. And
vet 1 have myself on two occasions seen him, lv
.1 sense, hi the mercy ot the most Ood-forraken
of human beings. One was quite recently, when
on walking from ins offlce to his home, as is tils
custom lor exercise, being for a moment without
the escort or young tieoige Gould, who had halted
in speak to a Mend, he was so Importuned,
liusileil and oil nslvely pushed to the wall by
a foul old beggarvvoniao, evidently hav
ing uo Idea who the llllle big man
Was, that 10 rid himself of the has he
plumped a pretty heavy piece of coin lulu her
rheumy and trembling hand. The oilier was the
most remarkable Dives- Lazarus scene 1 ever ex
pect to look upon, one strong, unexpected and
dramatic enough for a great si ustion in no
tion or upon the stage. It occurred In ihe sum
mer vi 1882, lv the open tinner or La Salle-street
rotunda of Ihe Grand" Pacific Botel In Chicago.
There was then In that city, tl he Is not
still living, a venerable old wreck, a most
familiar figure about the streets whom every
one knew as "Oncle Baker." Ills story briefly
was that, once a merchant of Cattaraugus, New
York, the financial iroubles of '67 had nearly
ruined him; he had transferred the remnant of
his [online in daughters, who at once became
another Regan and (Joiieilll; and the old man,
hall demented al their bast- ingratitude, shortly
became a continued tramp about the streets of
Chicago. "Uncle Baker," with bauds folded
plaintively In front of hun, with bowed head and
trembling gait, seemed never at rest. At all
hours ol the day and night yon would meet him,
rushing on and ever on, as II euulessly studying
that 'i.c problem ci filial ingratitude, He never
be.ged. lie was never known to utter an un
gentlemanly word. Liquor never passed bis
lips. A lew" of us, touched by his pathetic life
and ways, saw mat ue did uot physically sutler
when we could keep track of the poor old fellow,
though we could never secure ins consent to

merchant, compelled his engineer to give bun a
corner of the engine-room, II be came shivering
there tn bitter weather. Diake ot the (Hand
Pacific would never allow blin to be busiled by
brawny pollers. Aud altogether this sad old
gbusl ol a human had occasion to iuru his ten
der, eel. white and pileous old face up to more
than one whose beau bled fur his wound winch
could never heal. Ou the occasion leferred
lo Gould was a guest at the Grand Pacific. Be
fore 8 o'clock in tiie morning be was stirring:
had come to the ollice; purchased a morning
paper; and, evidently impatient to send some
dispatches, had stepped to the telegraph
oftice lv the upper rotunda, .'Hiding It
closed he had taken a chair beneath the
office window alongside a great Iron col
umn, which, with ins paper, quite obscured
him. About the same time, " Uncle Baker,"
afier his morning custom, tremblingly began his
daily aud uiidistinued inarch through the two
rotundas from Claik street lo La Salle. Tue em
ployes always greeted htm civilly. These salu
tations were retui tied with touching dignity. On
this moruing one of the head porters stopped the
old mau at tne loot or Ibe marble stalls, where I
also happened to be standing, and hi a spirit ot
innocent mischief told him that his "old friend.
Jay Gould, was waiting up theie behind Hi"
column, by the telegraph window, to see him."
••Thai..: you; thank you, kindly. Thank you,
also, for my old irlend, Jay Gould." responded
" I'ncle Baker." with knightly politeness and
evident deep feeling.
Halting a moment as If to accustom bis feeble
sight to Ihe dim light of the place, lie made
straight lor the column, aud another moment
had grasped the astonish, d magnate's baud.
".Mr. Gould," said the old man, tremblingly.
"you and I did a good deal ol business together
at one time. Most people despise you. They
believe you unkind, cruel, unjust, merciless."
Gould wriggled, but "Lucie Baker" would not
release him.
"It lias always been one of the few hopes ol
my life." he continued, "to be able lo myself
say that 1 remember you wnb esteem; thank
you for a few unsolicited Kindnesses; and then
to show you one human being in rags "—here
" Uncle Baker drew himself up proudly— "who
Is so Utile that with all your power you could
neiiii -r help nor barm him; and to add with the
most respectful Sincerity that, greal as you are,
be pities you and your joyless life, barreu of
one disiiiieiested It lend, with an unutterable and
Inexpressible pity from ihe bottom of bis bean.
I bee you to pardon this intrusion and to say
good morning."
Then while the amazed man of millions wiped
a inih be seemed lo think had gathered upon Ins
steel-rimmed eye-glasses— though lie looked for
the dimming of bis newspaper punt In the wrong
place— the man of rags shuttled away; the tele
graph window came down wllh a sharp click;
and the memory voices that had a moment since
given Jay Gould almost a youthful aud hopeful
(ace were diowued by the music of the instru
ment, which, upon the heels of the little play,
was merrily transmitting tbe words of this one
little man that too often make and unmake his

CURIOUS RELICS.
Implements of the -lone A-fl Found In
Arizona.
Among the guests now at the American
Exchange is George 11. Ordway of Phoenix,
Ariz. Mr. Ordway, who was a member
of Company E, California Battalion of
Volunteers, which went East at the War of
the Rebellion, has been mining in Arizona
for many years. He is of a scientific turn
of mind and fur some time past has been
engaged in excavating and exploring the
numerous mounds that abound in Maricopa
County, Ariz.
Two miles out of Phoenix he dug into a
mound which is about 300 feet in length
and -.'OO in width. lie dug down about Hi
leet and discovered houses that had proba
bly been buried for centuries. Here he
found stone axes and hammers, drinking
cups of stone, bone awls, needles and orna
ments, porous stone luattaies. In some
nouses he found teeth, charcoal, charred
corncobs, green and red paint and ochre
and many other things that had been used
by people of a primitive age.
In one mini be found a number of pieces
of slate rectangular in shape. They were
raised on the sides and embellished with
nude figures and serpentine lines.
William Acton, the scientist, who lias
carefully examined them, says that they
are exactly similar to those found among
tlie relics taken from the ruins of the
mound-builders all over the Mississippi
valleys, and undoubtedly belong to the
stone age.
Tho rooms of the houses described meas
ured about nine by ten feet. On digging
down under the floor skeletons were found,
showing that the natives buried their dead
in their houses. In some houses there were
three and four layers of these skeletons.
Each skeleton was laid in a grave with
the head to the East. Each grave was
formed of a kind of concrete, making an
air-tight coffin. At the head of each was an
"0 lea," or water jar, and in some were
drinking cups and shells carved into differ
ent shapes. There were no metal instru
ments of any description.
Mr. Ordway will exhibit his collection
this evening to the members of the Acad
■«niy of Sciences, and after a short stay here
\v_»_turn to resume his explorations.
WEAVER'S CHECKS.
He Proved That They Were Good nud
Ills Arrest Was a Mistake.
Detective Hanley returned from Sacra
mento last night with X. J. Weaver, an ad
vertising agent of New York. Weaver was
arrested on a telegram from the Chief of
Police of Sacramento on a charge of for
gery. It was claimed that he gave bogus
checks in payment for several small bills
Detective Hanley stated that Weaver
proved to everybody's satisfaction that the
checks were all right, ami that he had
money in the bank, but through an over
sight one of the checks had not been paid.
All of the rest had been paid before Weaver
closed his account and ordered his money
forwarded to Portland, Oregon, for which
place he leaves to-day,
A man named Schmidt had a check of
Weaver's torS_2 an.i telephoned the bank,
who informed him that Weaver's accounts
were closed. On the strength of this
Schmidt obtained an order for Weaver's ar
rest When matters were explained to him
he apologized.
The arrest of Weaver is considered by
the detectives a piece of Inexcusable stu
pidity. Weaver showed a score of letters
irom prominent people, all showing him to
be a man of fair and honorable dealing.
Stanley's latest book brought him J 70,000.

SUNDAY SPORTS.
A Coast Record Beaten by the
Oakland Canoe Clnb.
Connors Defeats Siaou in Two Straight Falls.
Shooting at Harb.r View— Newark
Coursing— Hand-Ball.
Canoeing is a pastime that is given an en
viable position among aquatic sports.
There is a dancing buoyancy to the grace
ful craft that wins the devotion of those
who have overcome distrust to its frailty
and none the less attractive is the romance
that is and always lias been associated
with the dip of the paddle, the delightful
motion, and the quiet gliding over beau
tiful waters or through sequestered Blades.
Novelists have introduced pleasant fan
cies into their portrayal of beautiful In
dian maidens speeding canoes over inland
waters, with dainty paddles flashing in the
sunlight, and dusky faces animated with
desire for victory.
Bcn_-_r_! of PASI-LIN'O.
The management of a canoe with a pad
dle is a science that is not easily acquired.
On the lake, when a strong breeze flings
white caps in every direction, a trick in the
turn of the paddle will cause the prow to
split the wave and permit the vessel to
skim along without laboring. But canoe
lug on a rapid river forces an experience in
steering which cannot be gained elsewhere.
To shoot the dangerous rapids, or steal up
from one eddy to another, entails a nicety
and firmness in guidance that only conies
from persistent practice.
The Chinook Indians on the northern
part of this Coast are recognized as among
the most proficient canoeists in the world.
They are reared in canoes, gain their liveli
hood from them and make very long trips
along the coast within the shelter of the
outlying Islands. Their racing contests are
extremely exciting. From fifteen to twenty
one men take their places in eacli canoe,
every man except the steerer planting one
foot on the gunwale, this attitude enabling
them to throw all their strength and skill
into the work. 01. they go, their paddles
dipping with lightning rapidity, and their
yells of defiance ringing over the water.
The finish is magnificent. Their canoes
seem to be lilted above the current as they
spring forward, as if in sympathy with the
lashed waters. The rednien bend their
lithe bodies low over the gunwales and dip
taster and faster. The winning canoe flies
past the finishing point, and a yell goes
forth again and again from the victory
crazed contestants, to be answered as Ire
queutly by the spectators.
MODERN-BUILT C__)E3.
The primitive form of the canoe, or, more
properly termed, "dugout," has undergone
so many chances with the progress of civ
ilization as to become almost unrecogniza
ble. A log, hollowed by fire and shaped
with an ax, or a framework covered with
birch bark, has been relegated to the con
venience of residents in inconvenient local
ities; but the trim little cedar-ribbed ves
sels, with wide-spread sail., that dart over
tlio water that lap the shores of modern
towns and fashionable resorts, are models
of beauty, comfort and speed.
The sixth contest for the Oakland Canoe
Club trophy was held yesterday afternoon
at the Oakland Estuary. The course was
three miles with a turn. A strong breeze
came from the bay, and enabled the Whis
per to beat the Coast record by over two
minutes. S. A. Haekett acted as starter and
M. I*. Wiggin was time-keeper.
The entries in the first class were tho
Dart, sailed by John C. Olsen, and the Mys
tic, sailed by Commodore W. XV. Blow.
The Mystic won in 32 minutes, 10 seconds,
beating the Coast record of 35 minute., aod
increasing its points to 24. The Dart fol
lowed In 32 minutes, 13 seconds, making its
total points 26.
In the second class the entries were:
Whisper, XV. G. Morrow; Bonita, A. L.
Gump, and Gypsy, A. 11. Blow. The Whis
per came in first in 1.7 mm. 45 sec, making
its total points 21; Gypsy second, in 88 min
utes, total points, 29; Bonita third, 43 min
utes, total points, 14.
BAND-BALL
A Trine Gum. for SlOO— Several Other
Interesting Contests.
A prize game of hand-ball was played in
John Condon's court, 733 Iloward street,
yesterday for $100. There was a good at
tendance of spectators, and considerable
money was.wagered on the result.
The contestants in the game were John
Condon and James O'Donnell against John
Kiordan and Thomas Cashin. Each side
won a rub nnd the third was won by Messrs.
Kiordan and Cashin. It was a close game
throughout.
After the prize game, K. Shields and D.
Kelly played llu;li Toner and John Con

resulted in a tie.
The last game of the day was between
John McDormott and James Corcoran and
Hugh Toner and George E. Ackermau.
McDermott and Corcoran won.
There were also several Interesting games

THE COUNTKY CLUB.
Wealthy Clubmen Organize for Sporting
Purpose-.
*_ number of thu members of the Pacific
Union Club have taken the preliminary
steps toward the formation of a sportman's
club, to be known as the "Country Club,"
for the purpose of enjoying fully their fav
orite pastimes. Joseph Ji. Quay, tbe 'Secre
tary and Treasurer of the new club, j states
that already the Shatter ranch in Marin
County has been leased for a term of live
years from Judge .i. McM. Shatter,
C. W. Iloward and T. J. K. Orr,
the present proprietors. The ranch
extends from Tomales Kay to Drakes Bay
and across from l'oiut Reyes to Bear Val
ley and Ferndale. Steps are to be taken at
once to properly stock the property with
Japanese pheasants, Oregon grouse. East
ern Quail and deer. The streams are also
to be well stocked with mountain and
speckled trout. A comfortable club-house is
to be built and furnished with all the latest
conveniences, four mounted and armed
keepers will be employed to warn off tres
passers and protect the preserves.
The originators of the new idea were:
Frederick It. Webster, Austin C. Tubbs, Joseph
M. Quay, Kamon li. Wilson and Clinton li.
Woroer. Ilie lirst four are now respectively
President, Vice .'resident, Secretary aud Treas
urer, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Worder are Directors.

-.minors l.i.silv Defeats Sidou In a
Wrealllng Match.
About fifty people paid 50 cents apiece
mission fee to witness the wrestling
match yesterday afternoon at Central Park
between Oscar Connors, champion of llac
cnp. England, and Baruoy Sidou, the
Dutchcrtown champion, for $73 a side.
A strong wind having carried away the
"carpet," an old meal-wagon cover, the
contestants agreed to wrestle on the bare,
dusty and rocky ground. Otis Ungerman
was elected referee and called time at 4
o'clock. Connors, who weighed 188 pounds,'
against Sidou's 150, at once proved his
great superiority , over the Culchcrtown
champion. After nearly clinking Sidou
with a strong throat lock and slinging him
around in the dust almost at will, Connors
secured '.lie first fall in 13 minutes.
Seme betting was done at even money
before the first bout, and when the men
came together again after a ten-minutes'
rest Connors' backer made liberal offers of
even money f that Connors would throw
Sidou lv ten minutes, or, as he kind! v ex
pressed himself, "break his (Sidou'*) bloom
ing neck." Connors fullr justified his
friend's opinion of his ability for he threw
Sidou easily in four minutes by the big
clock on the Odd Fellows' Building.

TRAIN AIR-BRAKES.
Description of au Ingenious
• ieee of Mechanism.
An Interesting Eubj-ct Upon the Details cf
■Which Thousands of Travelers Are
Little Informed.
" How many people who ride on railroad
trlans have a clear understanding of that
ingenious piece of mechanism known as
the air-brake
This was the subject of a discussion
among a party of gentlemen, the other
evening, at a down town hotel, who had
commenced by relating' personal experi
ences on the rail, and finally drifted to the
less exciting topic of air-brakes.
One of the gentlemen present, who from
bis occupation is obliged to travel many
thousands of miles on railroad trains in
the course of a year, was asked to explain,
for the edification of the others, the manner
of working the contrivance called an air
brake, and its application to modern rail
roading. B^S
The gentleman appealed to confessed
himself unable to furnish the desired in
formation, and expressed an opinion to the
effect that of the people who ride mi trains
equipped with air-brakes, not one In five
hundred had any definite knowledge con
cerning the utilization of air in controlling
a railroad train.
STRAIGHT AIR-BRAKE
The essential features of the so-called
"Straight Air Train Brake" are:
First— A small vertical air-compressor is
placed upon the side of a locomotive just
ahead of the engineer's cab. This air-com
pressor, actuated by steam from the loco
motive boiler, compresses air up to a pres
sure of from seventy to eighty pounds per
square inch.
Connected with this is an air-storage res
ervoir, usually placed tinder the floor or
deck-plate of the cab. A discharge-pipe
leads upward from the reservoir to a three
way cock attached to the boiler head direct
ly in front of the engineer. From this cock
a pipe extends backward under the locomo
tive tender, and under the cars coupled be
hind it, the connection with the air-pipe be
tween cars and locomotive being made with
a flexible piece of hose fastened together by
a brass coupling with rubber gaskets or
joints, so designed that under air pressure
the rubber will slightly compress against
the sides of the connection, forming an air
tight joint.
THE EXOIXEEE'S TAUT.
In operation the engineer by use of the
three-way cock connects the uir-storage
reservoir as above described with the train
pipe, permitting the compressed air to flow
backward through the train, following
through branch pipes connecting with the
main train-pipe, entering the brake-cylin
ders and forcing forward pistons fitted there
in, thus applying pressure along the piston
rods and through various forms of brake
rigging to force the brake-shoes against the
wheels. This brake is released by another
turn of the three-way cock, closing con
nection betweeu train-pipe and storage
reservoir, and opening the train-pipe to
the atmosi here, permitting the air to
escape from the brake-cyclinders through
the train-pipe, thus releasing the brakes.
An ingenious device is sometimes used iv
connection with this form of straight air
brake, to permit the release of air directly
from the brate-syclinders when the train
pipe is open to the atmosphere, but as this
does not affect the principle of the air
brake, a detailed description of tills device
would be of little interest.
IiItEAKIXO IX TWO.
It will be observed that in the case of a
train breaking iv two at any point the de
tached cars* become entirely disconnected
from the air-brako power. Prom this cause,
between the years 1875 and 1830, and while
the straight air-brake which had taken the
place of the oid Cramer device was in use,
accidents, especially to freight-trains, were
of frequent occurrence. To remedy this
defect Mr. Wustiugbouse perfected and in
troduced his automatic airbrake, which by
successive improvements has gradually
been brought to its present stato of perfec
tion. Like the straight-air, the automatic
brake requires the air-compresser nnd air
storage reservoir attached to the engine,
and in addition to this an auxiliary reser
voir for the storage of air under each and
every car in a train. Unlike the straight
air-brake, under the operation of which the
brakes are released when the long train
pipe is empty, automatic brakes are hold in
release only when this pipe is full of air uu
der pressure.
COUPLING THE ril'E.
The coupling of the train-pipo between
the cars is made, as in tho straight-air,
with two pieces of flexible hose, the sec
tions being connected by a clutch coupling
of ingenious pattern, perfectly tight when
in position, and readily separated without
breakage of attachments when cars are
pulled apart by accident or design, with
out first disconnecting the air couplings.
When the automatic brake is in opera
tion compressed air from the pump passes
backward into the storage reservoir under
the locomotive, and into each storage or
auxiliary reservoir under the cars, and is
usually held up to the pressure of Irom
sixty to eighty pounds to the inch.
engineer's brake valve.
A so-called engineer's brake valve in this
form of brake replaces the three-way cock
used in straight-air. In applying the
brake the engineer, by simply turning tho
handle of this valve, stops communication
between the air-pump, storage Breservoirs
and train-pipe, allowing the air to escape
from this pipe. The air on its way from
the pipe just mentioned to the stor
age cylinders repasses through what
would appear at the . first glance
to be a very complicated piece of mechan
ism called a triple valve, but which is
really a very simple device. This valve is
so ('.instructed that when air from the
train-pipe is reduced below the pressure in
the auxiliary reservoirs under the cars
communication is established directly be
tween the auxiliary reservoirs and brake
cylinders, causing the brakes to he applied
by advancing the brake-cylinder piston
and rod exactly as iv the case of the straight
air-brake.
A SUDDEN STOP.
When a sadden stop is required to be
made, or should any or the couplings be
tween the cars become detached from any
cause, allowing air to quickly escape from
the train-pipe, communication between it
and the brake-cylinder is automatically
made, permitting the instantaneous pas
sage of souio portion of the air directly
from train-pipe to brake-cylinder and at
the same time opening communication be
tween this cylinder and the auxiliary reser
voir.
Thus under the operation of the auto
matic brake it will be seen that if the
coupling between any of the ears is acci
dentally severed tho brakes are immedi
ately and automatically applied.
On passenger-trains each car is equipped
with a conductor's valve, which may bu
used by the conductor to control the brakes
from any car precisely in the same manner
ns they are controlled under ordinary con
ditions from the locomotive by the en
gineer. . ■ .
A TEMPERANCE LESSON.
Bow Two Old Topers Settled a Bet by
Arithmetic.
I heard an instructive conversa'ion re
cently between two old topers In a certain
chop-house in this city. A dray went by
laden with barrels filled with some kiud of
liquor. The old topers wore struck with
the size of the barrels, and one said to the
other: "Tom, those hogsheads hold more
than even you ever drank In y our life, and
that's saving a good deal."
"Yes," replied his companion, "more than
I ever drank, but not half what you've
drunk, Jim."
" What are you talking about?"
•'About just what I mean. I'll bet you a
quart of champagne, and leave it to the
proprietor that I can prove by your own
mouth that you have drunk twice as much
liquor In your life as those hogsheads could
hold."
"Done."
The proprietor was called; the bet was
stated to him, and the proof was begun.
Said Tom: "Jim how old are you?" i "Fif
ty-six." "When did you begin drinking?"
"When I was about 21." "And you have
drunk steadily ever since?" "How many
drinks do you average a day ?" This was a
delicate question. Hut after some discus
sion, Jim owned up to six drinks a day.
Tom was magnanimous. Said lie: -.."I
wont be as hard on you as that. : 1 will as
sume that you have only drunk a gill of
whisky a day for thirty-five years, which
you yourself must admit is a very light esti
mate. Now, a gill a day is about twelve
gallons a year. Thirty-five times twelve is
420 gallons. Those were 40- gallon barrels
on the dray. So you • have drunk - what
would more than fill ten of them.. There
were only five on the dray."
Jim was dumfounded at Tom's arithme
tic. . Tom chuckled and called for the bottle
of wine. Justus it was brought Jim roused
himself 'from some probably as serious
thoughts .as lie ■ had , had for a long time.
"Tom." said t lie, laying his , hand - on ;. his
friend's arm nsd speaking very, earnestly,
"for heaven's sake, don't tell my wile . of
this little calculation of yours. I believe It's
true, and if she were to hear of it it | would
drive her crazy. Don't tell your wife,
either, for she would tell mine." Tom gave
the required promise •■ and the two "old
boys" drank the wine in silence. Tom's
mathematics seemed to have a solemn effect
on them both.— N. Y. Star.
No Place for Tunnels.
A Scotchman, who had been employed
nearly all his life in the building of rail
ways in the Highlands of Scotland, came to
the United States in his last years and
settled in a new section on the plains of
the far West. Soon after, his arrival a
project came up in his new homo for the
construction of a railroad through the dis
trict and the Scotchman was applied to as
a man of experience in such matters.
"Hoot, tuon!" said he to the spokesman
of the scheme, "ye caiina build a railway
across this kentryl"
"Why not, Mr. Ferguson?" .
"Why not?" he repeated, with nn air of
settling the whole matter. "Why not?
And dinna ye see the kentry's as flat as a
flure, and you have naw place whatever to
run your toonels through?"— Ex.

FOR DYSPEPSIA,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is an effective remedy, as numerous testimo-
nials conclusively prove. "For two years
1 was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia
and liver complaint. I doctored a long
time and the medicines prescribed, in nearly
every case, only aggravated the disease.
An apothecary advised me to use Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. I did so, and was cured
at a cost of $5. Since that time it has
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become a stranger to our household. I
believe It to be tlie best medicine on earth."
—P. F. McNulty, l_ac-_man,_29 Summer st,
Lowell, Mass.
FOR DEBILITY,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is a certain cure, when the complaint origi-
nates in Impoverished blood. "I was a
great sufferer from a low condition of the
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I was unfit for work. Noth-
ing Uiat I did for the complaint helped ma
bo much as Ayer's Sarsaparilla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
I take every opportunity to recommend thia
medicine in similar cases." — C. Evick, 14 _

The J. 1 Cutter Whiskies.
SOLE AGENCY,
429 to 437 Jackson Street,
San Francisco, California.
CAUTION TOIHE PUBLIC !
Information has lately reached this agency to the effect that irresponsible
parties, hailing from the Eastern States, and to us unknown, are in this city
for the purpose of tampering with legitimate business in the above whiskies.
They represent themselves, we are informed, agents -at -large of C. P. Moor-
man, Louisville, Kentucky, owner of the Cutter trademark, and have deceived
and swindled several persons, foisting upon them, in his name, a spurious
and comparatively worthless article of whisky. "■
We, therefore, as sole agents of C. P. Moorman in California, and
throughout the Pacific Coast, deem it proper, for the protection of the public
generally, to issue this caution, and to put people on their guard against such
mendacious and dishonest interlopers.
Regular dealers with this agency have not been deceived by the false
representations made.
We also give notice that immediate steps will be taken to find out those
who perpetrate this wrong, and, in every instance, prosecution under the law
governing such cases will follow discovery.
