Now York, Sept. 30. Tlio great car
nival week nt (one Island is a thing
of tlio past nnd tlic season of that fa-
nous plonsuro resort Is practically end
ed. Tlio cnrnlvnl was a happy thought
of tlio concessionaries of tho various
nmusomont places of Conoy Island and
was originally suggested as an attempt
to mnko up for the losses caused by
the unfavorable weather during tho past
summon It wns n rather risky under
taking, as It involved a largo outlay
of money with a possibility of losing
everything should tho weather provo
unfnvorablo or should tho plan fall to
nppoal to tho public. Probably $300,
000 were spent in tho preparations tv
tho carnival. The first day b'rought
nn enormous crowd to tho Island and
tho nttendnnco increased steadily from
night to night. Tho success of tho
carnival wns little short of phenome
nal. Thousands of visitors from tho
cities of tho state wcro there. Even n
thousand policemen would not hnvo
been nblo to control tho masses had
they displayed any tendency to bo un
ruly and boisterous. Fortunately that
wns not tho case, A hotter naturcd
find better bohaved crowd than that nt
Coney Island during tho carnival week
could not bo found nnywhero. Every
body seemed to bo Imbued with tho
cnrnlvnl spirit. Perfect etrnngcrs tick
led each other with miniaturo feather
dusters and threw confetti nt each
other, but nobody seemed to resent theso
liberties. Tho victoms rovongod them
selves by returning tho compl.Imcnt in
kind. Of courso thoro woro a few
brnwls nnd onsos of drunkenness, but
that wnH to be expected. At nil events
there wns not enough of that to mar tho
pleasuro of tho crowds.
strcot was deserted nearly all day. Tlio
poll co reserves had to bo called upon
to provent tho crowd from mobbing tho
"Barbnin Man." It is expected that
tho merchants on tho other sldo will
send out a man who will givo awny
5 bills.
By a olovor adaptation of tho wire
less tologrnphy princlplo Mojor Wil
liam It. Wetmore of Allenhurt, N. J., a
millionaire and one of tho oldest mem
bers of tho New York Yacht club, is
nblo to keep bimsolf posted on stock
quotations and ticker nows whiio rid
ing nround in tho country on his auto
mobile. IIo nnd Stntion Master Cor
net, of Allonhurst, havo invented a
transmitter nnd receiver, by which
Mnjor Wctmoro can learn of tho fluc
tuations of tho mnrkol at any time dur
ing tho day. Tho transmitter is plac
ed nt tho railroad station nnd messages
for tho major aro flashed from it as
soon as thoy aro received, Two rough
pieces of board, with copper wire strung
across them, so that tho affair looks
llko a clumsily shaped acollan harp,
form tho apparatus used by tho stntion
master to send tho quotations. In tho
nutomobllo which Mnjor Wetmore rides
is n receiver that bears a closo ro
scmblnnco to a tolophono rccolvor, whiio
tho instrument to catch tho wireless mes
nages is attached undorncnth tho auto
mobile Tho invention is said to bo
porfectly satisfactory nnd is nttrncting
considerable attention among brokers
and speculators.
Tho fnto of "Old Ironsides," ns tho
old nntlquntod frigato "Constitution'1'
hns boon called, still hangs in tho bal
nnce. About a weok ngo tho nows wns
received from Boston that tho old ship
wns filling with wntor nnd was doomod
1o speedy decay. This bit of nows sug
gested to Mr. James Matthows, n
Brooklyn morchnnt, tho ldoa to mako
nn effort of saving tho historic ship
from tho junk pile nnd, nt tho same
time, do something that would carry his
famo far beyond tho limits of Greater
New York. IIo sent a tolcgrnm to tho
secretary of tho nnvy, asking him to
consider nn offer to buy tho Constitu
tion through n fund to bo rnlsod by
Brooklyn school chlldron. It was tho
idea of Mr. Mntthews, to purchaso tho
vcnornblo warship, bring it to Brook
lyn nnd presorvo ,lt in somo Btiltnble
plneo for futuro generations, Tho mat
ter has not yot been decided, so far ns
tho nnvy department is concornod, but
it is doubtful that Mr. Matthews will
succeed lit carrying out his plan. In
the first placo the pntrlotlo societies
of Boston, which heretofore had paid
nn particular attention to tho condi
tion of tho old frigate, suddenly hnvo
become Interested In it nnd intond to
piny the dog lit the manger. But,
oven if tho people of Boston should not
raise any objection to tho romovnl of
the Constitution, thoro Is llttlo pros
pect that tho ship will ever be brought
to New York, Tho ship is in such a
bad condition that It would be impoa
slblo to tow it to this elty. It would
founder before It had been towed a
black.
Tho stntctnont thnt Charles F. Mur
phy, tho lendor of Tammany, that Tam
many Hall favored munlolpal owner
ship was really qulto superfluous. There
is nothing now in that. Evorybody
knows that Tammany Hnll is in favor
of any kind of ownorshlp, provided it
is tho ownor, Somo foolish persons
linvo nsked, why Tnmmany Ilnll has
novcr mado nn nttorapt to bring about
municipal ownership. How absurd!
Does not Tammany Ilnll own tho town!
Is thoro anything in Greater Now
York thnt Tnmmnny docs not own or
controlf From the lowest gambling
house, barrel hougo nnd don of iniquity
to tho street railway and other mo
nopolies, overything is controlled by
Tammany Hall. Why should tho Braves
oxert thomselves to bring nbout a con
dition which already exists! Tho only
dlfferonco it would mnko is that now
Tnmmnny is robbing tho reoplo indl
roctly, wlillo under municipal ownor
shlp it would do so directly. Tho flnnl
rosult would remain unchnnged.
An amusing war is being waged just
now in Brooklyn. For n long time
there bus Ihwii considerable rivalry be
tween the merchants nnd shopkeepers
oil the north nnd thoo on the south
sldo of Fulton street. For several
months the merchants on tho north sldo
have had placards, reading, "This is
the Bargain Side " displayed in their
windows. The merchant oa the south
sldo hit upon an Ingenious plan to coun
teract this elalm f their rivals. They
advertised that every morning between
0 and 10 a. m. tho "Bargain Man"
would walk up and down on tho "Bar
gain Side of Fulton Street," meaulug
in this caso tho south side. He would
carry a pocketful of sllvor dollars nud
overy quarter of an hour or half hour
he would turn around sharply and pro
sent a dollar to the first person ho
finds behind him, provided that porson
is not a boy, Tho effect of that an
nouncement was ntagloal. Thousands
of people thronged tho south sldo of
tho street, whiio the north side of the
Tho death on tho high sen of tho
fomnlo gorilla whlclt wns to bo placed
in tho menngerlo of tho Bronx Zoo,
Is a sovcro loss to New York. Had tho
animal survived tho violent attack of
sou slokness and, pcrhnps, homesickness
which cnusod its donth, Now York
would havo had the distinction of being
tho only olty in the world owning a
full grown gorilla. Theso monkoys aro
extremely raro and all provlous at
tempts to ncollmnte them in northorn
latitudes havo failed, Soveral speci
mens woro brought to Kuropo, but did
not live very nni. The femnlo corll.
1 w-hleh had been Intended for tho,
Bronx Park collection, was Insured for
$00. It will bo stuffed nnd exhibited
in that form.
Notwithstanding tho omortlon of
CommiMloHer MeAdoo to tho contrary,
the number of crimes of every kind
seewa to be on the increase in New
York Kvery day crimes against the
person and against praporty are ro-
iwrted In appalllug numbers, but only
once in n great whiio, and then only
neeiuentnlly, the perpetrators of the
orlmes are Apprehended by tho police.
It is true, tho pollco authorities aro
never at a Ums to And somo oxcuso for
their inability of discovering orlml
nuls, but the fnet romalns that tho
thieves, murderers and other orlmlnnls
are continuing their activity and that
the public safety is becoming more
seriously threatened overy week. There
is mighty llttlo oonsolatlon in tho ox-
plauation that there is a good onino for
the inefflalency of tho Metropolitan po-
iieo ucpartment,
Railroad Extension.
A railroad must bo a paying propo
sition and must reach a dcslrablo coun
try. Necessities nro sufficient popula
tion sufficient freightage. Also good
itcrminus nnd dcslrablo starting point.
Lino across stnto fcasablo. Start from
Boise, Ida., tcrminnto at Astoria; good
proposition. Wo need n line to Coos
Bny, Astoria, Tillnmook and Ynqulna
from Contrnl Oregon. Thoro is exten
sion being mado lo Coos Bay nnd one
nlrondy to Yaqulnn from tho Southern
Pacific lines in tho valley, Ono nlso
being survoyod to Tillamook. These
lines through nro all branch lines hav
ing ono idea in view, and that is to
feed tho Southern Pacific. Natural ter
minus Portland. Wo need moro than
ono nionna of shipping. Valley hns
sufllcicnt conncotiona with Portland
Wo only need to improvo Willamette
river to uso our present lines. But
thoro nro no monns of ronchlng inland
empire, nnd no means of getting goods
to market except through Portland nnd
Columbln. By extending lino across
stnto from state from Boise, Ida., we
can reach three of our best harbors,
Astorln, Tillnmook and Ynqulna.
Fcasablo and Practical Route.
Fifty-four miles Astoria to Tilln
mook city; 30 miles Tillamook to Shor-
idan; 11 miles Sheridan to Dallas; 10
miles Dallas to Indopcndcnco; 10 miles
Independence to Albnny; 45 miles Al
bany to Garrison; 80 miles Garrison to
Prlnovlllo; 110 miles Prinovlllo to
Burns; 120 miles Burns to Ontario; 40
miles Ontario to Bolso City. This
mnkos about COO mllos of road.
It would pay becnuso it would reach
tho ccntor of nil that territory which
now has no railroad connections. It
would mnko a direct connection from
tho enst to tho valley. It would open
up thrco splendid harbors on tho
const. It would mnko a cheaper outlet
and inlot for Idnho nnd stntcs in tho
surrounding territory. It would givo
onstorn Oregon connections with Port
land nnd all valley towns. It would
hnndlo big tonnngo to Wlilamotto val-
loy deposited at Astoria, Newport and
Tillnmook nnd would mnko a chenper
nnd bettor routo for Orogon products
to tho Orient.
Tho Population.
Thoro wouldi bo 140,000 pcoplo served
uy mis itno or roau. it would pass
through tho counties and bo fed from
tho following ceunties: Crook, Clnt
sop, Harney, Linn, Mnlheur, Folk, Till
amook, Yamhill, Wbollcr, Grant, Lake
and Klamath in Oregon, nnd Canyon
nnd Ada counties in Idaho,
Crook, Tillamook, narncy, Curry,
Lake, Whcclor) and Grant now hnvo
no railroads. Malheur has but 12
miles; Klamath but 18 miles.
Thrco hundrod nnd sovonty thousand
peoplo nro now served with 10S0 miles
of rond bed or 210.33 peoplo to the mile.
Tako from this 100,000, Portland's
population nnd tho percentage is re
duced to 100,3 porsons to the mile, Tho
proposed lino would sorvo 110,000 peo
plo or nbout SS0 persons to the mile.
Tho Portland trndo would feed this
lino, ns both rlvor ami tho Southern
Pacific and Oregon Short Line road
would bo neeosary advantages.

Tinj VALUE OF CHARCAOL.
Few Pcoplo Know How Useful It is in
Proserving Hoalth and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows thnt char
coal is tho safest and most efficient
disinfectant nnd purifier in nature, but
few renllzo its vnluo when taken Into
the human systom for tho samo cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that tho more
you tako of it tho bettor; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs tho
gases and Impurities always present
in tho stomnch nnd intestines nnd car
ries thorn out of tho system.
Charcoal sweetens tho bronth after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions or odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears nnd im
proves tho comploxlon, it wbitons tho
teeth and further nets ns a natural
and eminently snfo cnthnrtlc.
It absorbs tho injurious gases which
collect in tho stomach nnd bowels; it
dislnfocts the mouth nnd throat from
tho poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell obnrcoal in ono
tprm or another, but probably tho
best charcoal nnd tho most for tho
monoy is Stuart's Chnroonl Lozonges;
thoy aro composed of tho finest pow
dered willnw charcoal, nnd othor harm
less antiseptics In tablet form or rather
in tho form of large, pleasant tasting
lozongoa, tho ohareoal being mixed
with honey.
Tho daily uso of these lozenges will
toll in a much improved condition of
tho general health, better complexion,
sweotor breath and purer blood, and
tho boauty of It is, that no possible
harm oan result from their continued
use, but on the contrary, great benefit,
A Buffalo physician speaking of tho
benefits of eharcoal, saysi "I advise
Stuort's Chareoal Loienget to all
patients suffering front gas in tho
stomach and bowels, and to clear the
eemplexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; I also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the dally
use of tli em; they cost but twenfcv-
five cents a box at drug stores, and
although in some senee a patent prep
aration, yet I believe I get more ami
bettor charcoal In Stuart's Chnraaal
800,000 , Looenges than In any of the ordinary
.479.S36 ahnrcoal tablets."
