COMFORT IN AN AUTOMOBILE Electric Brougham That Abounds in Original Devices. There is no man in New York city prouder of his automobile and proba. bly none with better reason thar. Robert Graves. says the New York Evening World. The machine, an electric auto of the brougham type, constructed after his own ideas and built under his own supervision, took seven months to build, and its cost is estimated at nearly $15,ooo. The machine is constructed of alu minium plates finished to resemble mahogany, and although it carries a storage battery of sixty-eight cells, enough to run the machine at a rate of twenty miles an hour for sixty miles, it weighs only 8,oo pounds. The cells of the battery are so ar ranged that the front wheels carry the weight of twenty-eight of them, the rear wheels the remainder. The auto. mobile has a carrying capactity of six persons and is provided with four folding seats, with an aisle between them for easy access. The car can be completely closed in by windows with aluminium frames and is heated by electricity. The vehicle is provided with an ordinary hand brake and an electrical brake, which enables the driver to stop the car without a jerk within a few feet. One of the most interesting fea tures of the vehicle are the numerous little attachments which greatly in creasse the ease and comfort of the travellers. There are lamps for read ing, a chronometer, an electric cigar lighter, a stationary rack provided with reading matter, letter paper ana envelopes, a cardcase and ;! small case for postage stamps. The reed of the signal horn is protected from dust by a fine screen, and c-very part of the -delicate machinery is carefully guarded from dust and dirt by rubber curtains and screens of wire. "THE BRIDES' LIMITED.* Novelty in Trains on the Pennsylva nio Railroad. "The Brides' Limited" is the latest in railway trains, says a Philadelphia special to the New York World. It is being run daily from Philadelphia to New York by the Pennsylvania railroad. It gets its name from th1 fact that not a day since the 1st ot October has it failed to carry at least one couple on their honeymoon. The g2temen at the Broad street station were the first to nMice that No. ooo was being patronized by new ly married people. They exchanged experiences with the train crew, who promptly decided to rechristen their train. The yardmen were told of the discovery, and now the Pullman mak ing up "The Brides' Limited" are se lected by name, the cars of Cupid and Hymen being used whenever availa ble. The'n the porter was let into the se cret. He is rapidly growing rich in consequence. He says he has only to walk through the car, pick out the bride and bridegroom and begin to sweep up the rice certain tc be found on the floor near them. BAKING HER HAND. Novel and Severe Treatment For Blood Poisoning. To regain the use of her right hand Miss Lucy O'Hara is having it bak ed in 300 degrees of heat for half an hour every other day in St. Vincent's hospital, says the New York Herald. Owing to the absence of moisture in the high temperature the tissues are able to withstand the high caloric and the patient, although she winced at first under the ordeal, is able to undergo the treatment with little dis comfort. She is about to win a year's battle for the restoration of a member which twice was to have been remov ed. She has resolutely refused to conseni to an amputation and the physicians at the hospital say it will ow be a question of only a few eeks before her hand is almost if ot quite as good as it ever was. Miss O'Hara, who lives in Scran ,Pa., contracted septicaemia a r ago through pricking her hand ~le washing clothes. The hand led to twice its natural size and several operations were necessary. Surgeons believed the only means of saving her life was by removing tht hand. The poison was thrown out of the system finally and the hand was left shrunken. Miss O'Hara had practically no control over it. She was advised by her physician to go to St. Vincent's hospital, where the baking process is being success fully used for rheumatism. The hand is laid in a steam jacket and the tem perature is gradually raised. Every day the member is massaged for an hour and every week the patient is put under the influence of an anaes thetic, the fingers are drawn out and the bones and muscles subjected to a kneading process. Baby's Diagnosis. New York Press. Seated on a bench in Central park a nurse girl was gently moving to and fro a perambulator in which was a baby of about fifteen months. At the other end of the bench was a man whose prominent lower jaw was adorned with a luxuriant beard, which parted in the middle and curved gracefully outward ond upward. For several minutes the baby re garded the man and especially the whiskers with grave attention, while he looked at her with an air of lofty condescension. At length a beautiful smile overspread the little one's fea tures. Then, with her blue eyes still fixed upon the whiskers, and kicking up her tiny feet in an ecstacy of de light, she gurgled: "BoW-wow! Bow-wow!" A wave of color suffused the man's face above the whiskers, and he hitch ed uneasily in his seat. It was an awkward situation, and to relieve it the nurse girl patted the baby and said: "No, dearie, that isn't a doggie." The man remained to hear no more. A Little Japanese Patriot Letter. A librarian of Kansas City writes to The Star of that place: "Menosaku Yamamoto, one of our students brought to my desk the in closed encropt from a Japanese news paper, which he received in yester day's mail. The translation and the handwriting are his own, and he said. with evident feeling, that the letter had been an inspiration to to him. He asked that I send the letter to you as showing the intense patriotic fervor of the Japanese--. even to the children and I take pleasure' in complying with his re quest." Miss Atsuko Miyoshi, aged 11, sent a' noble heroic message to her father. Hosuke Miyoshi, a major in the Japanese army, who died, an honor to his nation, at the b'attle of Liao Yang after he received her let ter. The message is translated as fol lows: My Dear Father: I am glad to hear that you are on the battlefield. I am going to school every day, and am more diligent than before, so please don't worry about me. Every day the newspaper publishes an "extra," and whenever I receive it, I think of you and your welfare. My younger brother started in the first grade of the common school last spring, and he is now studying very dilligently. I believe that our dear country will be victorious in this war. It is said that our gallant army took Fung hwan-ching at the battle during the past few days, in which, I think, you took part, and no doubt yo~u were very courageous. Whenever our army conquers in a battle with Russia, flags are raised and lanterns are lighted and cries of "Banzai !" (hurrah) are heard in all streets in honor of the victories. When you return to me will you please tell me stories about the va rious battles, and will you bring me a head of one of the Russians as a present? Please do not worry about the things at home, but worry only about the emperor and our country. I hope you will be able to drive Russia out of power in east Asia, and put our dear country in her place. I am thinking always of you and how you are. I wvould not grieve to hear of your death, if it would be on the battlefield, but even though it be on the field of battle I would be sorry if it would not be an honorable death. If you die for our nation, die nobly. I pray morning and evening for the success of our dear country. "Banzai!" Banzai!" Your dear Astuko. This Husband Has It On Other Hus bands. Just as Mrs. John T. Wygant of Hackensack. N. .J., was preparing to go to her husband's funeral he call ed her up over the telephone and announced that inasmuch as he had not yet shuffled off this mortal coil, he objected to being buried. The man was supposed to have been killed in a railroad accident. With good reason he is congratulating himself, for the obituaries have told how "es teemed and admired" he was by his "hosts of friends" and he'haas also been able to see just how his wife looked in widow's weeds. Gallows Haunts Them. New Orleans Times-Democrat. .That scaffold in the yard of the parish prison seems to be causing other people besides Capt. Rennyson considerable annoyance. Recently a well-known attorney went to the parish prison and told Capt. Renny son that he would like him to take down the scaffold or remove it where he could not see it from his office window. The attorney has an office in the Hennen building, and it must be up very high for him to see the scaffold. The instrument of death is in the rear yard next to the patrol house of the fi-st precinct station. Yet the attorney said that he is very much annoyed with it. It is the first thing he sees when he looks out of the window to get a breath of pure, fresh air, and when clients come in to see him they can't talk for looking at the gallows. His office boy never takes his eyes off of it and cannot even hear the at torney talk to him, his mind is so concentrated on the scaffold. When the attorney goes out of his office and leaves it in charge of the boy for just an hour, he returns to find his office filled with visiting office boys who are so placed that they can not see it from their offices. The boys discuss the gallows and bet on whether or not the governor will sign his death warrant or not to such an extent that it is impossible to get any work out of the office boys in the Hennen building. For this rea son the attorneys wants Capt. Renny son to take it down or move it where it cannot be seen from his office. But Capt. Rennyson is afraid to take it down now because the lumber is green and if it has to remain down long it will get out of shape and pds sibly one would have to be built. There is not much doubt that the governor will not sign the death war rants for Charles Foley and Moses D. Lewis, for whom the scaffold is built, until the latter part of the year. Barney Oldfield, the crack auto mobilist, is fond of pictures, particu larly of etchings. He said the other day, says the Baltimore American. "The best etching I have is one of the leaning tower of Pisa. This etching hangs over my writing desk. "Looking up one morning I no ticed that the picture hung crooked. I straightened it up and resumed my work. "The next day the picture was again crooked, and the next day and the next. Finally, happening to be in the room while the maid was cleaning, I saw her deliberately take hold of the straight-hung picture and tip it on one side." "'Martha,' I said, 'that picture of the tower-look how crooked you have hun' git.' " Gala Week and King Cotton Jubilee, Charleston, S. C., Novem ber 2Ist,-26th, 1904.
