NEW PENNBY UNIFORMS.
Experiments Being Made with a More
Comfortable Suit for Trainmen.
The buttoiicd-iip frock coat of the
Pennsylvania railroad passenger con
ductors appears to be doomed, much
to the delight of the conductors. That
a change is contemplated is indicated
by experiments now being made with
a new style uniform. For nearly a
week one conductor on each of the
divisions centering at liroad street
station has been wearing the new
clothes under consideration, for the
pur pise not only of securing the opin
ion of the conductors wearing tlieui,
but of the traveling public as well.
Instead of the huttoned-up frock
coat anil the regulation blue cloth
vest the proposed new uniform con
sists of a four-button cutaway coat
and white vest, together with a white
cap somewhat higher crowned than
the present cap, with a flexible black
curved shield. The new uniform
gives the conductors a very natty ap
pearance.

112 SOME ASTONISHING
, FEATS OF MEMORY
Intances Gathered From Old
Records of Greece
and Rome.
RETENTIVE GIFTS NOT
ALONE IN EDUCATED
- Entire Newspaper Repeated, Adver
tisements as Well, After a
Single Reading.
' Extraordinary memories have at
tracted the attention of men in all
. ages, and in these days a man with a
1 rotentive memory is considered to be
more or less gifted, says the London
Spare Moments.
Some good instances of remarkable
memories are to be gathered from the
records of Greece and Rome. Them
istocles, a famous Greek general, is
said to have known every citizeu in
Alliens. No doubt Otho, the Roman
Emperor, owed much of his success to
a remarkable memory. lie learned
the name of every soldier and ollicer
in his army, and this, among other
things, rendered him so popular that
he was at length acclaimed Emperor
Horlcnsius, the Roman orator, is
said to have been able, after sitting a
whole day at a public sale, to give an
account from memory of all things
sobl, with the prices and names of
the purchasers.
Coming to later times, the follow
ing anecdote affords an instance of
wonderful powers of memory. An
Englishman went to Frederick the
Great of Prussia for the express pur
pose of giving him an exhibition of
his powers of recollection. Frederick
sent for Voltaire, who was then resid
ing at the Prussian court. At, the
King's request Voltaire read a long
poem which he hail just composed.
The Englishman was present, and
was ill such a position that he could
hear every word of the poem, though
he was concealed from Voltaire's
notice. After the reading of (he
poem Frederick observed to the au
thor that the production could not be
an original one, as there was a foreign
gentleman present who could recite
every word of it. Voltaire listened in
amazement to the stranger, as he re
peated, word for word, the poem
which he bad been at so much pains
in composiug, and, giving way to a
momentary outbreak of passion, he
tore the manuscript in pieces. He
was then informed how the English
man had become acquainted with his
poem, and, his anger being appeased,
he was willing to do penance by copy
ing down tho work from the second
repetition of the stranger, who was
able togo through it as before.
There lived in the sixteenth century
at Padua, a law student who had
trained his memory to such a high
degree of perfection that he could re
cite 36,000 words after once hearing
them read.
Jedudiah Buxton, an illiterate per
son of the eighteenth centuty, used
to put his memory to a curious use.
On one occasion he mentioned the
quantity of ale he had drunk free of
cost since he was 12 years old, and
the names of the gentlemen who had
given it to him. The whole amounted
to 511G pints.
ItHTKNTIVK OIKTB.
As again showing that retentive
gifls were not found in the educated
alone, there is a notable instance of
"Blind Jamie," who lived some
tweuty years ago in Sterling. lie
was a poor, educated man, and totally
blind, yet he could actually repeat,
after a few minutes consideration,
any verse required from any part of
the liible, even the obscurest and
least important.
An instance of a wagei being won
by a feat uf memory was that of a
person who repeated an entire news
paper, advertisements as well, after a
single reading.
A power of retaining eveuls has
sometimes been manifested in a mark
ed degree. A laboring man named
McCartney, at 54 years of age, claim
ed that he coul.l recollect the events
of every day for forty years. A test
was made by a well-known publiu
man who had kept a written record
forty-five years. The man's state
ment was fully corroborated—indeed
so accurate was his recollection that
he could recall, without apparent
effort, the state of the weather on any
given day during those forty years.
Another instance of a wager being
won by a feat of recollection was that
of Mr. Kutter, who not many years
ago was a well-known tithe collector
in Norfolk. He wagered that he
could recollect every word of a ser
mon that was to he preached, and
afterward write it out verbatim. Ho
was not seen to take notes, and at tho
close of tho service retired to a room
and wrote out the sermon. On com
parison with the manuscript, which
the preacher had been asked to bring
for the purpose, it was found to vary
in one instance only, where a synon
ym had been used, but in that Mr.
Futter was proved to be correct, for
the clergyman had a distinct recollec
tion of substituting one word for the
other in his delivery.
When reporting was forbidden in
the houses of Parliament, and any
one seen to make notes was immedi
ately ejected, the speeches, neverthe
less, were published in the public
press. It was discovered that one
Woodfall used to be present iu the
gallery during the speeches, and sit
ting with his head between his hands,
actually committed the speeches to
memory. They were afterward pub
lished.
Lord Macaulay had u marvelous
facility for remembering what he
read. He once declared that if by ac
cident all the copies of Milton's
"Paradise Lost" were destroyed ho
would be able to write out the whole
of this long poem without a single
error. In fact, he once performed
the marvelous feat of repeating the
whole poem, making one omission.
Charles Dickens, afteronce walking
down a street, could remember the
names of all shopkeepers anil their
business.

Mil. EDITOR:— The long continued
drouth has had a very serious effect in
the com crop. The fodder is large
enough, but the ears did not developu.
They are short and look more like nub

stalks show no signs of ears at all. Taken
as a whole the crop will not lie more
than half a one. Every body speaks of
the oats crop as an extra trood one. It

SOUTH WILL BE SOLID
FOR JUDGE PARKER
Esopus, Aug. 30. —Senator Asbury
C. Latimer, of South Carolina, was
the only political visitor at Itusemount
yesterday. He arrived here late this
afternoon and received a hearty wel
come from Judge Parker. The Sena
tor dined with the Judge and this
evening went to Norwich, N. Y.,
where he is to make a speech to-mor
row with Elliott Danforth.
The announcement l>y David B.
Ilill, of his contemplated retirement
January 1, occasioned much interest
in Esopus to-day, but Judge Parker
refused to comment upon it. After
leaving Rosemount, Senator Latimer
said: "I came to tell Judge Parker
that the South stands ready to send a
host of orators North to help iu the
canipnigu against Roosevelt. Every
speaker in the South is prepared to
assist in this work in the North. The
South is solid, not so much against
Republicanism as against the person
ality of Roosevelt. The race ques
tion as fathered by Roosevelt, will be
the chief issue, against him. I am
highly pleased with Judge Parker and
with his views."

: ERNEST H. CROSBY
OUT FOR PARKER
Roosevelt's Successor in the
Legislature Opposes "Big-
Stick" Policy.
ECONOMIC ISSUES ARE
OVERSHADOWED, HE SAYS
"Caste Uader the Flag Abroad Means
Caste Sooner or Later at
Home."
Ernest H. Crosby, who succeeded
Theodore Roosevelt in the Assembly
from the Twenty-first District of New
York, and who wax appointed as a
Republican to a Judgeship in the In
ter-national Court at Cairo, Egypt,
has come out for Judge Parker.
Mr. Crosby is rich. He has been
prominent in reform politics since he
returned from Cairo. He was the
first President of the Reform Club.
He has lectured on the teachings of
Tolstoi, and was an ardent admirer of
Henry George. He is the author of
a satirical novel, "Capt. Jinks." He
is a graduate of the University of New
York and the Columbia Law School.
11l the Legislature he was the expon
ent of high license. He has written
much ou social and economic prob
lems.
Mr. Crosby lives at Grasnierc, ad
joining Ellcrslie, the country home of
Levi P. Morton, near Rhinebeck,
Why He's lor Parker.
In discussing his support of Judge
Parker Mr. Crosby said:
"The economic issues are absolutely
overshadowed this year by the ques
tion of imperialism and militarism.
It is impossible to devote serious at
tention to the great domestic question
of the distribution of wealth while
the public mind is distracted by the
fireworks of foreign conquest and
such pretty and expensive toys as a
new navy, and it will be permanently
impossible to settle this question in
any other than an aristocrutic and
oligarchic way, if we permit the final
establishment of a system of depend
encies across the sea inhabited by
races condemned to |K>litical inferior
ity. CasU) under the flag abroad
means caste sooner or later at home.
"Mr. Roosevelt lias deliberately
made himself the incarnation of the
spirit of militarism and imperialism.
His ilea of national greatness means
nothing but physical strength, and
for great ideas he would substitute a
big navy. Freedom, equality, justice
must all be subordinated to brute
force. The change shows itself al
ready on the surface of life in Wash
ington. Uniforms and brass buttons,
new-fangled military escorts, war
talk and army manners arc gradually
making headway there, as fast as cir
cumstances permit. It is the Kaiser
ism of the German Kaiser which
seems to have roused the emulation of
our President and his cabinet, and
Kniscrism with all that word im
plies—Prussian junkerism, lesc-ma
jeste, enormous ornaments, and all
peaceful pursuits subordinated to
military enterprise—that is the issue
at the coming election.
His Estimate of Parker.
"Judge Paiker has spoken plainly
011 this subject. He believes in
neighborly conduct between nations
as between individuals. He is oppos
ed to the slave-dependencies as well as
to domestic slavery. We may 1)C
sure that he would have protested as
President against the annihilation by
Great Britain of the only two repub
lics in Africa, and that he would
never have been guilty of the assassi
nation of the only Asiatic republic—
that of the Filipino—nor of the vivi
section of our nearest sister republic
iu South America. He would lay
aside the big stick and teach the na
tive to behave like a gentleman. In
a word he would put an end to
KaLserisin and I sincerely hope that
he will have the opportunity."

Fall—Children's Coats
Ladies' Suits. Separate Skirts.
Wooltex—Fashion Faultless—are garments of quality. The new arrivals fur
Fall are now here in all their elegance.
Is it Style You Seek ?
Is it Durability?
Is it Grace?"
Or the air of distinction so easy to notice, yet so hard to describe?
Are these the considerations which rise upmost in your mind when thoughts
of new apparel enter it ? Then you must needs be a Wooltex wearer. Xo other
make or brand of ready-to-wear onter garments possess these attributes. They all
embody from one to a dozen novel style ideas gleaned in the workshops of the great
Parisian dressmakers. The cut is as 'perfect as human skill can make it. The sew
ing, the snap, the smartness are there, too. Wooltex garments retain every bit,
every touch of artistic tailoring put into them—the fabrics, the linings and even
the hidden details have l>een tested. It's a severe test, and one without which
we'd be absolutely unable to warrant the wearing qualities of Wooltex garments.
No other make o/ women's garments is so tested—no other so guaranteed. And the
price is no higher than for other makes not so good.

WHAT DIDTHE
WOGGLEBUG SAY?
Who is the "VVogglebug ? The
Wogglebug is IT, with a big I and a
big T. He is also T. E., which be
ing translated into United States,
means Thoroughly Educated. He
has all the learning of the ages pack
ed away in the smallest noddle you
ever saw. lie looks like his pic
tures—just as wise; and he gained his
wisdom by living in a school house—
crawled through the hoiks and ab
sorbed all they had in them.
The Wogglebug comes from Oz—a
mysterious land bevoud the planets.
He is to visit the United States. lie
is accompanied by seve-al compan
ions. One is the Scarecrow, found in
afield in the land of <>/.. Though
filled with life, he is itufied with
straw and has no brain*. Another
companion is the Tin Woodman,
made of things from a tinsmith's
shop. He has no heart. Then there
is Jack l'umpkin-head, made by a
boy named Tip. lie vas made to
scare a witch. The wit h sprinkled
the powder of life on him and made
him walk and talk. Tip stole the
powder of life, sprinkled :t on a Saw
horse, and the Sawho'se cantered
away with .Tack on his 'iack. Then
all of the Ozites came across the
Gump. The Gump is two high-back
ed sofas lashed together with a stuffed
deer's head and palm leaf tans for
for wings. The Gump is the vehicle
on which the Wogglebug the Scare
crow, the Tin Woodman, Jack
Puinpkinhead and the Snwhorse have
come to the United State*.
The visitors from Oz will goto all
parts of the United States and see all
there is to be seen. The Wogglcbug,
wisest of insects, is the guide of the
party, and the questions that puzzle
the visitors he is always prepared to
answer. All the doings of the visit
ors will be chronicled in The Sunday
North American.
The Wogglebug's answers are not
told, but are left for the reader's in
sienuity. Those who solve them will
lie entitled to SSOO in cash each
month. The North American of
■Sunday, September 4, will contain
the first pictured story of the doiugs
uf the people from Oz.
Struck For Cigarettes.
Because an order was issued for
bidding them to smoke cigarctts
breaker boys at the Greenwood colli
ery went on a strike a few days ago.
They insisted that they bo allowed to
puff the paper covered weeds while
working but the outside foreman re
fused to modify his order and with
yells of derision a poitiou of the
boys ran out of the breaker and went
on strike. The breaker was kept go
ing however, all the efforts of the
little belligerents to get the balance
of the boys out being futile. When
the strikers came to the colliery to
draw their pay they were told to walk
into the clerU's office two by two.
There they were met by a stalwart
young man who threw them across
his knee and gave them a good whole
some spanking. When this punish
ment had been administered all the
boys tearfully promised to RO back to
work and be good in the future. And
so the strike ended.

Representative from West Virginia,
"is just on the wind-up of a smallpox
epidemic, and I am reminded of what
happened to a picket 01 e night when
we were in this now hriving city
during the Civil war. An intelligent
female of the African persuasion came
along just about dark, and she was
asked if she had a pass.
'No, suh,' answered the woman
as hflr eyes beamed beneath a
big yoillow handkerchiel which adorn
ed her head.
" 'Then you can't pass,' said the
guard.
" Tse got no pass, but I'ae got de
smallpox, suh,' she added.
"You may rest assured that the
woman passed without ceremony"—
