It is possible now, with breaks of a few miles, to go o New York to Boston or from New York to Phila- bs by trolley car. It may be thought that in the | eaural course of trolley development the passenger of | the immediate future will have at his service between these terminal points electric trunk lines provided with Parlor and siceping cars, But how far such anticipations Ate to be realized becomes a subject for speculation in i wie of the increasing tendency of steam roads to absorb J Y trolley roade. pf The New Haven’s policy of buying up local electric ae competing for short-haul traffic has been noted. A - Policy on the part of the New York Central has been extended to the proposed operation of a igh parallel trolley line from New York to Buffalo. ‘Waa then called to the duty owing by law-abiding | a of responsibility which belongs strictly to the, h It ts only because of the proved impotence of | W!th yur marrying, provided you are| q Is Romance Dead at —— By Nixola Greeley-Smith.

But I suppose he got tired of living around hotels and wanted some pla where he could go home and take off j his #hoes and be comfortable,” enough. Do you remember what Thackeray « wrote of that when “griasiing halr the brain doth clear?’ Then he de- clares: The reddeat ps that ever have ktesed, ‘The brightest eyes that ever have shone, | May pray end whisper and we not list, Or look away and never be missed, Ere ever & month Ia gone The grave problem of whether or not she loves you as much as you love her \s superseded by the more absorbing one of whether or not there Is going to be} « corn for dinner.

While there can be no doubt that it fs a good thing for the widower past forty to marry. & may well be ques tioned whether it is @ good thing to marry him.

That escape from Port Arthur was the only workmanlike job the Offskys have pulled off in the prev- Fe alent unpleasantness. “Possibly they are as surprised as we are, but the fact remaing that they took out a multy bunch of ships, rushed a superior line and got away with the play. In the serap off Port Arthur the Japs failed to sink a single + Russian war craft, failed to capture a single Russian sailor and did execution only with thelr machine guns, The one big shell that did any damage happened to burat as it wae passing the bridge on the Czarevitch and seat- tered the poor old Admiral all cver the landscape. “People who were worrled about the invincibility of the Jape are drawing their breath with more freedom since th'e engagement, The match between the Japs and the Russians {s beginning to take on the aspect of a ring argument between James J, Jeffries and John L, Sullivan. Old John L, might make a stagger against Jeff, but the + pace he has hit in his time would make him a mark for the fresh young bollermaker, “The advantage of the Japs appears to be due not so much to their superiority, but to the punkiness of the Czar's military system, The Russian soldier is as brave as the Jap soldier, but the Russian army organization is apparently at a stage that smells like the neighborhood of the stockyards after the settlement of a strike.” “It's funny that the Japanese don't report any damage ‘to their ships,” remarked the Cigar Store Man, 1 “Not when you come to consider that they give out all the news,” replied the Man Higher Up. “Did. you ever hear a man who got a black eye in a fight admit the real truth?” 4 Tapped a Volcano. Workmen were driving an artesian well near Pisa, in Ttaly, recently, when a huge column of gas rose up from, the boring made in the ground, followed by an eraption of warm water, sand and mud. Frightened at thie unex- pected turn of events, the men ran away. Engineers came up and were Investigating the phenomenon, when a work- man approached with a lighted match, This ignited the escaping gas and a column of fire rose very high, which lit up the neighborhood throughout the whole night.
