GENERAL DEWS
OF
The policy And aim of the present
management of tbe Lsnigh Valley, says
the Wilkes-Barre Record, U first to get
tbe rosd bed and tqatpment in the very
filnk of condition. Among tbe most
mporthnt of these improvements is
tbe doable-tracking of tbe mountain
ut-off from Avoea to Fairtiaw, a dis
tance of -sixteen miles. All of this
work is extraordinarily beary and con
sequently expensive. Another new de
parture has also been mads in the
length of the rails which are used for
this new track. Heretofore the prao
tioe has been that rails should be not
more than thirty feet long. In this
case, however, tbe length has been in
creased to forty-five feet, and it is
claimed by those who are in position to
know, that traek laid with tbe long
rails is better and citn be kept in good
condition at considerably less expense
than track laid with tbe shorter rails.
The company has also gone to another
expense for the protection of its
patrons and its business in the
introdnotlon of tbe Hsll auto
matic electrical signals which have been
placed on its line between Penn Hnven
Junction and Mauch Chunk. It is
claimed that tbese signals are the bist
tor tbe purpose that can be fonn t.
They bave also protected Rookport tun
nel in tbe same manner. In addition
to the improvements noted above,
. which are nil on Wyoming division,
they intend to rqnip all of their tele
graph stations from . Jersey City to
UniTulo with the best semnpbore signal,
which are made by tbe Union Switob
& Signal Co., whioh will be placed in
position in a tew days. Arrange
ments are also in progress for iuoreamd
track facilities at Uuftilo and Jersey
City. Their equipment of cs i hU'i
to be increased by the addition of 2,000
of tbe latest improved gondol is. Tbere
Hre also a number of other- improve
ments contemplated which have not
yet been decided upon. . Taking It all
in all tbe time is not far distant when
tbe road bed and equipment of this
road wilt be the best in tbe conn try.
Some interesting facts as to the
Pullman Pal nee car business whs
brongbt out during the recent sit
tings of tbe National Libor coin
misbion at Chicago. Gaorge M
Pullman suid be saw no rettson why
the company, although it had this year
declared a dividend of $2 800.000,
should raise tbe wages of men in a de
partment which was losing money.
The capital stock of the Pullmm corn
puny at present was $30,000,009, divi
dends were paid on this basis, and tbe
comp'inv'e snrolns was more than
the $10,000,000 generally reported.
The company had naid dividends
from tbe beginning for three years
8 per cent, each quarter, and for
awbile 9 and 8 per oent. annually.
Speaking of reductions of waves at
Pnllman, Mr. Pullman said: "For en
tire months we did not have an order
for a car. I realized that unless some
thing was done there would be suff-ir-ing
at Pullman, and after a consulta
tion with vice-Prssldent WioKes I de
termined to make a bid under the ac
tual eost of construction. We did
tbis, and I remember the first order
was for fifty-five cars. I rut in a bid
for these cars at from $300 to $100
below the cost of a car, making
up my mind to make tbis contribution
. rsther than see my men idle. I be-
lieve many other car builders iu the
country felt tbe same way. As evi
dence of tbis, the next lowest bid to
mine was only $24 bigber than mine.
On another oceaaion I bid for a lot of
250 cars at a loss of $13 on each car,
preferring to do this rather than see
tbe freight shops closed. I underbid
tbe next comnetitor only $1 a car. It
cost us about $50,000 to keep tbe men
at work as long as I did."
.
Mr. Pullman continued: "Tbe average
increase of the capital stock of tbe oar
company has been $1,000,000 a vear.
One year it increased $6,000,000. There
are about 4,200 actual stockholders.
When the company was established tbe
capital stock was $1,000,000, and tbe
other $35,000,000 represents cash actu
ally puid in. Tbe individual profits
have bee $25,000,000, There has never
been any stock watered nor any extra
dividend paid." "Can you tell tbe
amount of wages paid the men since
the formation of tbe company!''
nuked Jndge Worthington. "Ys,
$33,847,024. For materials w have
paid out in that time $73,000,000. I
cannot now tell tbe total paid out in
wages, but I will do so' later. The
profits fell off nearly $500,000 in tbe
month of August alone last year as
compared with tbe same month in
1892." "Do you not tbiak it would
have been right, Mr. Pnllman, for a
company making as mush money as
tbe Pullman company has, which Inst
year declared a dividend of $3,800,000
to bave in some measure sbared its
profits with tbeemployes at Pullman!''
"Tbe manufacturing department of
the Pullman is entirely separated from
any other department of the company.
The manufacturing department was
losing money and I see no reason why
we should, simply because the company
was prosperous, raise the wages in a
particular department which was los
ing money."
Even tbe rolling skate has caught
the prevailing fever for pneumatic
tires. Tbere has accordingly been
concocted and duly proteoted by
letters patent what is called the
pneumatic skate,' Tbis new means
of locomotion is a cross be
tween the roller skate and tbe
bicycle. , On a fair road, it Is stated, a
speed of from ten to twelve miles may
be obtained comfortably, and hills may
be mounted and descended with as little
exprtion as attends the ridng of a
cycl. The weight of a pair of these
skates is only two and three-quarters
pounds, so that they are readily port
able when not in nse, and the wbeela
are three and one-half inches in diame
ter, furnished with two-inch tines, giv
ing a total dlametor of about seven and

The Wilkes-Barre and Eastern ra ilroad
Is doing a good passenger and freight
business. This, in addition to tbe ir coal
business, which is received from the .Le
NDUSTRIES
high Valley at Jenkins, on mountain cut
off, is keeping their present force of me n
and engines busy.
Tbe Terre Haute Gazette says a system
of coal premiums Is to be adopted by tbe
Vandalia. Each engine is allowed so
much coal perc&r per mile bauled, and
all fuel saved is credited to tbe engine
men. On roads where tbis is praotioed as
high ss $0 per week is paid in premiums.
Tbe soaroity of water on the mountain
cut-off of the Lehigh Valley railroad has
seriously interfered with the movement of
their heavy freight and coal business over
the mountain. For several days there
bave been several engiues from other dl
vibiouB preased into service in order to
move the accumulation of coal.
The connection between the Lehigh
Valley railroad and Wilkes-Barre and East
ern at Jenkins has been completed and
preparations are being made to Increase
the interchange ot business betwteu tbe
two companies at that pla-e. It is rumored,
says tbe Wilkes-Burre Record, that tbe
output of Jermyn breakers, Nos. 1 and 2,
will be diverted to the Valley to be de
livered to the Wilkes-Barre and Eastern at
Jenkins. When working full the output
ot these two oollleries amounts to 120 cars
a day, which will make considerably more
work in the Coxton yard.

RESCUE OF A SAILOR BY A NAIL
IN A PIECE OF WRECKAGE.
Hi Terrible Strntgle for Life by a Mate
After the Teasel Bad Gone to Fleees
on the Bocks Boiling the Mountainous
Waves and Fighting the Undertow.
Rather less than twenty years ago there
lived in Oregon City a coturie of young
men who were distinguished for their ex
cellence in athlefte sports, in which they
took pleasure and priilo. Tho acknowl
edged leader ot this band of athletes was a
tall, well formed and splendidly developed
youth, the nobility ot whose physique had
been enhanced by every kind of manly
exercise. lie was pro-eminent in tbe arts
of swimming and boating, and was never
so happy as when in or on the water,
Upon the arrival of the time when it be
came necessary for bim to choose an occu
pation, true to his first love be elected to
follow the sen, and accordingly shipped bo
fore tbe mast on a merchant vessel. In
tbis capacity tbe next four years of his life
were passed, and at tho end of the period
he became thoroughly convinced thut a
sailor's life was no sinecure. Ho stuck to
the ship, however, and his naturul ability
procuring him promotion he rose step by
step until he became first ouicer.
The clipper ship Elisabeth sailed through
the Golden Gate, and her register bore the
name of W. C. Barclay, first mate. Omit
ting the events of tbe voyage, the ship's re
turn and her subsequent loss on the Ten
nessee rocks, the thread of the narrative
may be gathered up on tbe forward part of
the dock after tbe ship was broken in
twain. When in the bow a little group of
men surrounded the first officer, who had
removed bis boots in partial preparation
for the unknown developments of the dis
aster. Almost before he had timo to think of
the future or to appreciate the perils of tho
situation a huge wave swept all into the
wild wate of waters below nud Barclay
sank under tho billows. Upon reaching
the surface again he struck out from the
doomed vessel with all the power and skill
of bis boyhood days.
A PLDCKT FIGDT.
Throughout his terrible battle with the
waves which followed, the intrepid Bailor
continued cool and wary, and his first
thought was, as he relates his awful exper
ience, to avoid the dangerous network of
rigging in the vicinity of tho doomed ves
sel. Accordingly he swam about forty yards
to the northward, when lie seized a float
ing plank aud headed for the shore, which
could be plainly seen about 200 yards away
from the struggling seaman fighting for
his life with the angry waters. In another
moment a solid green wall of water tow
ered over him, crushed him and drove hira
down into tho dept hs, where the undertow
dragged him still further down and held
him. By sheer muscular effort he fought
his way slowly to the surface, where a
floating spar struck him sharply on the
forehead.
With a breath of air his caution re
turned, and removing his vest he held that
garment in one hand as a shield for his
face and bead. Not many seconds had
passed when another giant wave, pitiless
in its dark green robe, again drove him to
ward the bottom, and the undercurrent
seized him in a tight embrace as before.
With another struggle he emerged from
beneath tbe waves, osly to be dashed again
below.
After every ascension Mr. Barclay with
little difficulty laid bold of pieces of float
lug wood and endeavored to rid himself of
his involuntary salt draughts and to re
gain his breath. These respites were mo
mentary, and ere he could swim more than
a few yards a monster billow would send
him downward again.
So he labored on, swimming, sinking,
gasping, struggling, fighting against what
seemed to be his fate. He dare not dive
beneath the breakers for fear of striking
some floating wreckage. II is fight was not
alone with his arm, but also with his brain,
against the combined forces of sea and
storm, aud it seemed impossible for bim to
conquer in the unequal combat. As he
neared the shore his danger was Increased
instead of diminished. His enemies found
other allies In the towering rocks, and in
tbe treacherous bowlders beneath the
waves.
SAVED B7 A NAIL.
He turned about and approached the
rocks foot foremost. He was dashed against
them, and one foot was cat and bruised by
the sharp stone, and then he was carried
back, but not for, when a gigantic breaker
drove him down and he was whirled about
by a powerful whirlpool. He seemed to be
many fathoms dawn. The waters were
dark and dreadful. A feeling ot hopeless
ness came over him, and for the first time
be felt that bis hour had come. A feeling
of unutterable horror came over him. He
felt powerless to continue the struggle for
life and be abandoned himself to bis fato.
Then occurred a miracle. In some fortu
itous manner a floating timber had beon
cast into the same waters. '
In tbis timber was a nail, and as the man
and timber were whirled about the nail
caught the soft flesh in the man's arm, and
as tbe buoyant wood roso to the surface it
dragged upward the almost exhausted
mate of the Klizabeth. He waa fortunate
to (tto hold of a portion of the wrecked
ship weilged between two rocks and strug
gled to avoid being drawn nnder the wreck
age piled upon the shore. His legs had
become benumbed and seemod temporarily
paralyzed, but by an almost superhuman
effort he managed to drag himself up on
the slippery rocks.
It was slow and laborious work, and Mr.
Barclay was twenty minutes crawling bait
as many feet, but be finally reached a spot
above the waves where, half dead with
cold, exposure and exhaustion, he could
rest aud regain bis strength.- The waves
and floating timbers had torn his clothing
into shreds, and the wind was bitterly
cold. He forced himself to resume bis
painful eilorta to move forward. Horri
fied with bis fearful experience, the fur
ther he was from the angry waters the
nearer they seemed in his excited imagina
tion. At last he gained the top of tbe
bank, and tbe welcome calls of a covey of
quail, disturbed by his approach, assured
bim of his safety.
"Thank Godl" he cried, "I'm saved ot
last." San Francisco Call.

der with curled hair and let it come
out beyond tho ends abont two inches
in a round mass.
Yon will need ribbon for covering
these ends of some pretty tint that will
combine well with the shade of velvet
that yon nse. The ribbon must bo 3
inches wido and 10 inches long. Cut
two pieces of this length, sew tho ends
of each together aud gather ono side of
each piece of ribbon and slip it over the
curled hair at each end, drawing up
the gathering string to fit snugly over
the velvet cylinder and bow it with fine
stitches. Then gather the other side of
the ribbon and draw it up so that the
gathors will all meet in tire center. A
bow of ribbon with ends may be placed
hero to cover np tho stitches or a cord
and tassels made from tho worsted. An
other cord and tassels is used to hang
it by, or ribbon should be nsed for this
purpose if it is used at the sides.
The cord is made by taking several
strands of worsted, a little more than
twice as long as you will require it,
and with tho aid of another person twist
it, each twisting iu opposite direction
from the other. It should be doubled
over when it begins to kink by placing
tho two ends together and running tho
hand up and down the oord quickly.
Tho tassels can bo made from worsted,
wound over a card 8 inches long. When
it is largo enough, slip from the card
and tie with a piece of worsted to form
tho head and cut the other end to form

If stained, heat the stained spots first.
Fruit stains will, many of them, come
out if soaked in sweet milk. Other
stains come out if the spots are wet with
alcohol and washed out in clear, cold
water before allowing suds to touch
them. Stains of milk or soft eggs must

a handful of salt is added to the first
suds, which should be barely lukewarm.
The second may bo hotter. Wash
quickly through both. Fold smoothly

bag and set in cold water for 10 min
utes. Rinse first in hot, then in luke
warm water. Have your bluing water

GAUTiQN
: To
WashburnCrosby Co. wish to assure their many
patrons that they will this year hold to their usual
custom of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the
new crop is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the
market, and owing to the excessively dry weather
many millers are of the opinion that it is alreadv
cured, and in proper condition for milling. Wash
ourn-urosby uo. will take NO RISKS, and will allow
the new wheat fully three months to mature before
grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above all
other brands.
