New Lackawanna Dispatcher.
M. II. Cahlll lias been adeleil to the
forcu of dispatchers In the Lackawan
na's central ofllce In this city.
Mi'. Cahlll is from Akron, Ohio,
where he served as a dispatcher for tho
Baltimore and Ohio.
Anthracite Coal Lines.
W. II. .Truesdale, piesldcnt of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, said: "The year 1899 has
proven to lie one of the most prosper
ous for the transportation Interests of
this count: y, which they have ever en
Joyed. The preat anthracite coal llnep,
among which the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western railroad is one of the
most prominent, hnvo had an unusually
favorable year. The production of their
mines has been much larger than for
the past five or six years, and, owing to
the generally favotablo business condi
tionsand particularly tho largo de
mand for coal of all kinds the prices
on this large Item of their business
have been maintained on a basis that
yielded the companies profits, when in
former years they have sustained
losses.
"In addition to this, the general busi
ness of the compaiy has been very
large, both as respects the transporta
tion of all kinds of freight and also In
the transportation of passenge:s.
"In short, there Is no branch of the
business but what has shown substan
tial gains. While the t.uiff rates on
many commodities have been on a very
low basis, and one that cannot have
been well maintained, as u rule, on
all the principal linos throughout the
country, and the net returns have com
pared very favorably with the gross
increases.
"The year 1900 promises well for the
railway companies of this country, and
some substantial advances In rate 3
have been arranged for on many of the
leading commodities handled by them,
nnd while the cost of labor and many
of, the large items of material which
enter largely nto railroad consumption
have Increased materially. It is believed
that the proposed Increases in rates
will fully make up for the Increased ex
pensi of operation.
"The outlook for the anthracite coil
nusiness Is also most promising, and
all the companies handling that com
modity should enjoy another good year
duilng 1900." New Yo:k Mull and Express.
Is now using u new style paper for Us
tickets. Instead of the plain stock,
the paper now contains the monogram
of tho company us a water mark, and
the same style boards are used for
tho through trip tickets and for tho
local trafllc. Safety paper, however,
Is tabooed by this company, whose
tickets me still printed Upon plain pn
por. In their annual passes none of tho
rallioads havp made tiny changes, ex
cept the Lackawanna. Those on this
road for this year are much plainer
than they have been for many (years.
Instead of the large lithograph plate
that was printed ucross the top, the
new ones have the words "Lackawan
na Itullroad Company" and the "Lack
awanna Itoute" cut neatly printed
upon them. Tho condition attached to
their use are much simpler and no
longer require the signature of the per
son presenting It. The color will this
year be pure white. The 'other roads
have all changed the colors of their
passes and clerical tickets, but then
are not different to lust year's Iri anv
other respect.
Central Freight Facilities.
The facilities of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey for handling f: eights In
New York and vicinity nro second to
none. On the North river Is covered
piers Nos. 8, 12, 13, 14 and IB for goods

On the Brooklyn side Is Palmer dock
and Orand street, both with large ware
house and yards for In and outward
freights: at Hrldge street Is n package
warehouse, where articles not exceed
ing thiee tons are handled.
The company also receives and for
wards freights In any quantities from
piers Nos. 4, B, 6, 7, S, 9, 10. 11. 12, 13, 11,
16, 17. 18, 19. 33, 31, 35, 36, 37 and 38,
Brooklyn side. At Jersey City the
company hns one of the largest freight
yards In the country. For unconstgned
goods, Brooklyn delivery, Grand street
Is used and Pier 14, Liberty street, for
New Yoik proper. In addition to Its
own deliveries, the company has light
ers and tloats.
merclal wharf, called out In that
familiar style known to every traveler
along the water front. "What you
got, captain 7"
"Walt and see," came the reply and
In his Impatience he went Into the
lower deck and catted to his assistance
his crew of tlve men, held up a swindle
tall shark, which, as matter of fact,
he had captured near Drunkard Lodge,
Just about eight miles from tho Cape
lights.
The captain was called to explain
how he got the fish, but he was re
luctant to say much until the eager
observers had a better opportunity to
see his catch and then, opening up In
a very graphic way, said: "Wo wern
sailing along very quietly with notn
Ing to cause a ripple on tho smooth
surface of what had been a smooth
sea, when some one at the lookout
called out, 'A whale ahead!' and then
came a cry: 'It may be the hea sur
pent, of which wo have heard so
much.' "
As they drew nearer, a tall flopped
In the nlr and the water (tew up as If
under the Influence of n submarine
mine, and the captain seeing danger
called out every man to the ropes.
To capture the fish was the next
thing In order and there happened to
be on bourd a man who had thrown
the lasso over many a wild Western
broncho, and ho was the man who did
tho trick.
The man gathered up his rope, sur
veyed tho distunce and with a' dexter
ous fling, landed the rope right under
the tins of the sea monster. Then the
fun began, for the shark showed the
gameness of a' trout, und plunged here
and there, throwing up the water In
his trail. The men on board held to
the ropes, and ns one described It to a
reporter of the Press, "It was a tug-of-war."
At last the shark showed signs,
of weakening and then It was a dead,
pull to the boat. When the game, so
to speak, was once on boatd, accurate
measurements were made end If was
fcund thut In length tho flsn .wits 9
feet 7 Inches: the tall was 6 feet 7
Inches nnd that It had eight fins. It
was u voracious monster, for In Its Jaw
nt least six herrings remained undi
gested. Her Pleasing Fault.
"I hear that you are calling on Miss
Perkelelgh pretty regularly."
"Yes."
"Thought you used to my tho i nly
thing she could do with any s'ic:css was
sit and giggle at nothing."
"I know it. She's still that way.
Keeps so busy at It that she never has
time to play or sing r.ig-timo songe."

Instruction Imparted as to Gravity,
Air Resistance and Other Points.
From Pearson's Magazine.
He Is taught that tho bullet travels
through the nlr In n curved tin", called
the tiajectory. and that three forces
act upon it; first, the exploded charge,
tending to diive it forward In a
straight line along th-i lino of nro:
second, the force of gravity, and thiid,
the air icsls-tance. At t'00 yards, owln?
to these forces, the bullet, traveling at
the rate of 2,000 feet a second, will
have fallen about two feet. In the ex
citement of firing ut close quarters this
aim will Invariably be too high. It has
been calculated that when ths enemy
approaches within 250 yards the sol
diers will Instinctively lire as much as
two feet or three fcr.t above their
heads Now. it has been found by
experiment that the fact of flHIng bay
onets will cause the bullet to drop a,
distance of about two and n half feet
In J50 yuid3, und, thctetoie, when nbout
this distance from the enemy soldiers
uie Instiucted to fix bayonets In order
to couilteiact tha excessive elevation
of their aim.
Tho reciult learns that the mean ex
treme range of the bulljt Is S.fOO yards,
and that tho longest shot ever observed
was 3,760 yards. He Is taught the
penetrating power of, his weapon, a
subject full of Interest. To take one
or two eximples, rammed earth give
less protection than loose; bullets eas
ily find their way through Joints of
wallti, while a concentrated fire of
about If." rounds nt LOO yards will
breach a nine-Inch bilel; wull. Only
experience can teach 11 soldier how
much he must aim to the right or left
of his mark to counteract the forco of
tho wind. A side wind has more ef
fect on tho night of th-J bullet than a
wind blowing directly toward the ftrer.
The Foldler must learn the habits of
his rifle, since somo shoot higher or
lower than others. Every rllle. Ilk
every marksman, has Its own indivi
duality. COWBOY LASSOES A SHARK.

It's a lucky grocery store that ever made a cent on sugar ;
competition settled sugar for the grocer. It has made nails the
sugar of the hardware trade, and certain standard muslin the
sugar of the dry goods trade. We buy and sell and the dol
lars of profic are unseen. No single body's fault it is the
gradual outgrowth of mistaken notions. Might as well try to
amend the law of supply and demand.
Well, muslins are ever so much dearer so are ready-made
sheets and pillow cases, but in spite of the rise we shall sell at
THE OLD RRCES.
We bought these far enough back to escape the rise, and
every sheet and pillow case here is marked at a lower price
than the makers will charge us for now. If you can buy a
year's supply, lucky. At least, get some.

BIG SALE OF SHOES.
Too much stock is the cause of this shoe sale, We have over-bought ourselves;
but our buyer could uot help it, as -it would have beeu an injustice to you and to us had
he not takeu the advantage offered to him. The Warren Boot and Shoe Co., of Boston,
one of the largest wholesale shoe houses in America, are going to quit business, and as
they recognize us a great power in buying they quoted prices really less than cost oi
making shoes, not mentioning the leather in them, besides, with the advance in leather,
you will certainly be benefitted by our buying.
