Street Cor System Which World Well la Denver In the West, where electric tract* Ion has reached a high stage of de velopment, trail ? cars- to take care of the rush-hour loads have become regular features. The great advantage of the trail car from the standpoint of the oper ating company Is! Its'small operating cost compared to a tripper, since the "platform cost" Is only one-half, and the power consumption for a car seating practically the same number 'of people as the motor car is less than 5-0 per' cent, additional. To tae public it means experienc ed men to handle the motor car and' regular schedules. .In Denver, where this system Is in vogue, center door way cars have been adopted, it being claimed for them that the conductor 1b always within half a car length of the dobr, .and the pasengers can get out or in in about half the Usual time, since they only have to travel half the distance required by end doors. ??>-? Want Bogus Mining Stock. "Wildcat mining stocks are not altogether UBelesB?-or; worthless, either," said a New York broker who handles cheap mining stocks the other day as he hung up the tele phone receiver. "Here's a man who just offered me 250 for enough min ing stocks to have a face'value cf ?: 0; DOG. He wasn't particular what stocks he got if they only had a paper value of $50,000. I closed the deal and shall make money1 on it, too. What did he want with such Blocks? Well, 1 haven't the Bllghtest doubt but-that he is getting ready to go Into bankruptcy court and- wants to show his creditors where his money has been dropped. We often get such requests and are usually able to nil them." How Anarchist's Work, A Russian Journal'tells the story of how the murderer of General L?n-' nitz, prefect of St. Petersburg, ob tained admission to tbe semi-official party at" Which the deed was com mitted. After the crime all the gupsta were detained and their tick ets were examined. There was one ticket the rightful owner of which was not present. If was no other than that of Premier Stolypln him self. The murder was committed under cover of the invitation-ticket of no less a personage than the Prime Minister. The Premier had not been able to go and his ticket fell into the hands of a member of the secret po lice named Nakolene. He resold it to the revolutionists for $16,000.

A writer In National Review says of Moorish civilization: "It is something so apart bo alone, this Moorish civilization; these great houses, this luxury of horses, ser vants, living and leisure, this beauty of architecture, creating bulldlngB impossible to reproduce anywhere ?dse; this literature, bigoted and re stricted as it Is, but existing utterly self-sufficient."

No. 4. 3 F?J -1 ??* -? I : I i e,tr? ? REV. JONES' PRESENTATION. J The Hon. Charles V. D. Jolme, judge lei the Court of Common Pleas of Cam den county, N. J., contributed the fol lowing story to a number which, had been told at a meeting "of the Histori cal Society, relating to the confusion of ideas which sometimes resulted from an effort of (he primitive mind to' grasp abstract ideas: - "During war times/' said the judge, "the city of Trenton, where I then ?lived, was a red-hot abolition town, and those who did nob-'fight' devoted their time at home to patriotic decla mation. - "Among the most violent of,these was an old fellow whom we called 'Major Howard.'- The colonel was less bitter against the threatened sev-< ering of the Uion than he was about the wrongs of the black man, and' the negroes for miles around looked upon the old abolitionist as their potent sa-' viour, feelingly' firmly convinced that it was through his oratorical efforts that the war had been begun'and'was maintained. <v.I " - "A 'monster mass meeting' and torchlight'' parade-'was planned in honor of their champion, who; was ap prised of the movement and'promised to review the proposed parade from the rorch of his home.' "The evening of the celebration ar rived, the brigade marched through the town and halted before the colo nel's home. The Rev. Jefferson Ob dike Jones had been coached - in his presentation speech by a' their promi nent Trenton jurist, who was a no torious wag, and he proceeded with it ?s follows: ' " 'Colonel Howard, we am overcome wld mortification at de ignominlous ness ob dis yere 'casion. Yo' well known and insidious pusillanimity 'owards de mem nans ob our race am notoriously cognizant whereber de breast of man an' incinerate by de predellcltions ob inglorious freedom. Dis am a most monotoueous occasion; we am ambigious to put ourselbs on record as prescribing our depreciation ob yo1 efforts on our behalf; we feel dat yo' am one wid us in de immortal sentiments ob life, liberty an' de pur suit ob happiness, an' we know dat, aldough yo' skin am white, at haht yo' are as black as we are.' "This was as far as he ever got. The cheers and huzzas of the specta tors drowned' the rest. The colonel executed a war dance on his veranda and finally retreated, but he never heard the last of1 the address ob pre sentation.' "?Philadelphia Times. The Ghost of a Famous Town. Virginia City is indeed a strange town?a living skeleton. In the height of its opulence it boasted a population of thirty thousand. To-day there are less than one-tenth than many, dilap idation and ruin are seen on every hand. The chief streets terrace along a great hillside. Farther up the slope are wastes of sagebrush growing in stunted clumps that'half hide the earth with their gray twigs and foli age. Down below Is a valley where the mines have dumped vast heaps of waste. The entire region is a wild upheaval of hills, and around the horizon are seen ranges of snowy-top ped mountains. The only trees are an occasional gnarled scrub pine or dwarf cedar a few. feet high. Former ly scrub pines of fair size were plenti ful on the hills; but they were practi cally all used for firewood long years ago. After they were gone some Chinamen ran a woodyard and sold pine roots. Probably one hundred and filty donkeys were engaged in toiling about the uplands and bringing In the stumps and roots of the old scrub pines. This material,, loo, was ex hausted presently, and \iow the fuel comes by train. The town streets are rough and dirty, and as I walked about I was Constantly encountering old tin cans ind putting my feet tmigled up in vlies front the baled hay. Buildings in good repair are rarities. There are 'ottering rences and ragged walls and roken ronfy and smashed glass, and ?any windows and doors are boarded ip.

Usually I he spots ?vhere had been the buildings and the machinery for working the auatirioiifd mines are now onlv marked by great dumps of waste, with possibly a few immense foundation stones und irons. Two mile* from Virginia City is tlie village of Gold Hill, which, if any thing, is deader than iis neighbor. There is the same dilapidation and wreckage, and tlie same canting walls and neglect of repairs. On the bor ders of Ihfr hamlet I met n Scotch man who nflirmed that his cabin was the oldest dwelling in the reaioir. The main part contained n single room but liiere was a lean-to at the rem and it little cave ran bad? under the bill.
