"Th rc has been an Impresalon on the part of many lhat th, ground asked for by the rail road romiiany Is too laitfc. for a depot atle; that the demand ol the company lor terminal facilities Is too great, but I do not think so. If they are only cii-king for iii feet, that will hardly In -lough to do the business. They ught lo have more ground.

A good slxed freight train would cover the utile distune. Let us tuke a irrsh hold and make a new start." .Mr. He rum an aald: "Scow Hay la Ihe place for Ihe depot. I have one Mock there and hav given one lot. Why uon't our iit-lghliors come In? We can't expect a poor man lo give much, but those who own all out of doors should come up and say: Here, tuke a few lots.' We hnve w tilled for a railroad forty years. Yhtt do u tew lots signify? There Is an old suylng that, no matter how h.'gh a chicken roosts, It haa to get down to srrnirh." J. . Welch made some pertinent rc niuk" and stated thnt he wl.hd this was a town where a city council coulu simply vote the depot and Uien maes the property to pay for It, Mr. Hrenham Van Dusen perhaps made the most eloquent address of the even ing, and a number of the audience were heard to remark that If all Aalorlnns possessed his spirit the railroad and de pot would have been built yean ago, Among other things he snld: "I am somewhat disappointed In this meeting tonight. We seem lo be no fur ther advancfd than when the meeting closed Thursday. I thought that a nun nmtc had been appointed to druii a plan or procedure, and siiKgeat some definite meana of accomplishing our ob ject. Three or four years ago we weM praying for an A. H. Hammond.

WARS Grow Irf-ss Sanguinary With Improve ment In Firearms. Exchange. At every period In th history of the Improvement In Ihe englurry of war there have been armies of phllosoph'rs and p-ace advocate to urge that the time has at last arrived when war has be come Impossible. The discovery of gunpowder. It was believed, would make such havoc amcng soldiers that they would soon be practi cally annihilated, and so war would al together become an event of the past. Hut the greatest wars of the world'a history have been rought since that dis covery. When hroerh-loadlng rifles enme Into use peace philosophers were a unit In the conclusion that it was time to hfat swerda Into plowshares nnd p?ars Into pruning hooks, but the lir.vcn-londer an old-fashioned weanon now, compared j with the Mauser rllll. the Imnroved rnpld-fliv gun used by th? Spanish troops In Cuba. According to the Intest report from the fighting that wenl on around Gardens, tho Spaniard fired at least 2.000 shots for every Insurgent reported kllld, and It Is said that this ratio of Maine- gun aliota to mortality will hold good throughout the history of the Cuban wai. Tho Gatllng and the Maxim guns that were promised to he annlhllntors have ben In use for period running through several j -nr., and still the war goes en. and soldiers live. The fact Is, wars ap pear to grow less sanguinary In propor tion a more energy is put In the war weapons. They are carried on at longar range. A TEMPTATION OVERCOME. A thirsty-looking man wandered Into a 8tate street saloon the other evening, threw 15 cents down on the counter, and said huskily: "Gimme a big glass." The decanter and a large tumbler were placed In front of him, and he bean to pour out a drink. When the tumbler waa half full he stopped nnd locked at It as If estimating the quantity as com pared with the slae of hla thirst. The result appeared to be unsatisfactory. He resumed pouring and alowly tilled the glass to within half an Inch of the top. The bartender hastily took off his coat and veit, removed his cellar an necktie, and then hesitated. "No," he finally said, putting on the garments again. "I'd like first rate to go In swimming with you, but If too blamed cold!" Chicago Tribune. TRY, TRY AGAIN. Philadelphia Post!
