jo 500,000 to raise funds to reconstruct its
road, which is to be operated by electric

In a conversation relating to electricity,
recently, President Lewis of the Brooklyn
City Railroad Company said that the pre
vailing idea that electrio motors are dan

the mayors of sixty-four citiesawhere they

over, it is an eminently satisfactory mode
of locomotion.

The Macon Telegraph of Tuesday says
some important changes were made in the
Central railroad office yesterday. The office
of train master of the main stem division,
recently made vacant by the resignation of
Mr. Story, was filled by the appointment of
Mr. E. E. Anderson, who ha:capably filled
that position on the southwestern division
for the past two years. Mr. J. J. Cress, who
for the past year has been the chief train dis
patcher of the Southwestern, was installed
yesterday as Mr. Anderson’s successor.
The plans of;, the yards and depots of
the Macon and Birmingham railroad in
La Grange have been completed and one of
the most convenient railroad yards in the
state will be the result. There will be six
tracks along the yards for the use of that

The neat passenger depot will be SOxfiJ teet
in size, with waiting and baggage rooms.
These buildings, says the La Grange
Graphic, will be of the latest and most
costly designs, and built in the most sub
stantial manner.
Ihe Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser says ■.
The Savannah, Americus, and Montgomery

trot. A turps ot engineers under Capt.

completed the second preliminary survey
and wiil start back at once to locate the
line. A large grading foroe is now at
work between Rurtsboro and the Chatta

a..d are working toward the river. They
have already graded eight or ten miles of
the road. Another corps of engineers are
now at work at the Chattahoochee river sur
veying for the approaches and the bridge.
The project has been revived for building

TAKING OFF WEIGHT.
How the Jockeys ara Compelled to
Reduev Tnamsslvas.
Blakely Hall in Frank Leslie’s.
Little Bergen does not have much trouble
in reducing bis weigh:, as he has seldom
been above 112 pounds. He runs all the
way down to 100 pounds, and he easily re
duces himself four or five pounds, as the
occasion warrants, by going into the hot
room of the bath, curling up in the comer,
and simply lying there while the perspira
tion rolls off him. Onoe in a while he un
curls himself, goes to the plunge and rubs
his hea i with ice water, then return- to his
former p sitloa, and grays there pluckily
until he is down to his proper weight.
Tarral is another easy reducer. He usually
takes the hot room for two hours, then
swims around in the plunge for along while,
and returns for another hour in the intense
heat. If this not enough be puts ou a
sweater at the track and plods around in the
dust hour after hour, until he is fit to ride
at the weight set out for him o i the card.
Jockeys like Tarral, Bergon, and say Grace,
whose weight is about 110 pounds, are not
as much worried by the phantom of disaster
known as too muca weight as the broad
shouldered and big-boued boys. Many
jockeys of the latter build are sure, steady,
clear-nealed boys, with plenty of pluck and
strength, and the other qualifications that
go to make up a successful jockey; but they
have to undergo such extra >rdinary tortures
to keep down a weight which will uot place
a crack horse at a disadvantage in a race,
that they get nervous, irritable and lose
their skill. The difference between a per
fectly healthy and robust man and a man
who nas reduced himself by an internal and
external means until hi is so nervom and
weak that he cannot hold himself upright,
is a wide one. A strong dose of brandy
before the race begins may pull together a
few of the failing energies, but it does not
give the r:der the cool judgment and
thorough balance which comes of perfect
health. That is one reason why some of the
boys who are naturally small and thin have
a big advantage on the season's mounts
over much more clever jockeys who are
handicapped by big frames or a disposition
to grow stout. There seems to be a great
difference, too, iq the abilities which jockeys
show toward reducing themselves. An
hour in steam beat with one man will take
off a pound while it will not reduce the
weight of another threk ounces. They tell
me that Spellman was oue of tha readiest
reducers that ever went into a bath. He
was known on one occasion to take off seven
pounds in four hours. His weight ia sum
mer was usually 189 pounds, while he
usually rode at 111 pounds. It is said that
Spellman on one occasion, bavtug to ride at
a light weight at short uoUcp, reduced bis
weight in one night from Ilf bour-.ds to 104
pouuds in a little less than‘ five hours. He
was always the source oCTuore or less alarm
to the attendants of the baths, for they
could never tell exactly how he was getting
on. He would walk into the hottest corner
of the steam room, wrap a wet towel
around his head, curl up on a chair with his
head resting on his folded hhftu and his legs
cross3d, and sit like a Spinx for hours.
Once in a while one of the attendants who
knew him well would go and speak to him,
but the boy would not answer a word or
raise bis head. They were always afraid
that he had fainted from exhaustion or had
succumbed to a.i accelerated action of the
heart, but they were afraid to disturb him.
After sitting two or throe hours in this
position, he would uncurl himself, drift to
the outer room and drink a bottle of ice
oold beer. Then he would resume his former
position and ramaiu there, with the ther
mometer at 16J or 170 degrees of heat, and
the perspiration dripping off of him stead
ily. When he finally got out of the bath
and had been thoroughly well rubbed, he
was invariably light enough to ride. Spell,
man died about two years ago ou Sixth
avenue. It was at first thought that he
had been robbed and murdered, but the
coroner decided that he had fallen and hit
bis head against one of the pillars of tho
elevated railroad, causing cnnoussson of the
brain, which resulted in his death.
Girls and Money.
While so many wives are still la bondage
to a husband's purse-strings, it is, perhaps,
idle to plead for freedom for the daughters,
says the Housewife. But is not a certain
injustice iu money matters done most girls
who after 21 remain in a father's house.’ It
Is so hard for the tathers to realize that the
girls are. grown up, and that dependence,
cveu on one who loves you, has its trials.
Many a girl feels kpenly this bondage, espe
cially if, as ofteu happens, she must in ask
ing tell for what she wants the money, thus
subjecting her desires to another’s judg
ment. Indulgence and justice are very
different thingi; and in money matters a l
women of seuse prefer the latter. A fair
recognition of claims is dearer to them than
a thoughtless and spasmodic generosity,
and the trust involved is the sweetest com
pliment to their good sense..
Give her, then, some money of her very
own, not more than you spend on |her now,
pernaps not so much' at first, since one
must provide for the chance of her spend
ing foolishly and needing to be helped out
of the consequences. jV little bank account,
perhaps later a small |ace of property
given to her to manage, whose profit* shall
be her allowance —to mktry a girl that
would be the sweetest proof of a father’s
love.
When one thinks of women of 25 or who
have never had a dower of their
own unless they earned it, and that,
sometimes against a parents wish, who are
as ignorant as children of all business ways,
who all their lives will be in dependence on
some tried and trying relative because of
this ignorance—it seems at once a pity and
a shame. For there is an intellectual disci
pline in learning judicious spending. Some
one calls it a' final test of character. But
character does not come in a day, and ex
jierience often charges poor women high
rates for her lessons. For tea who can earn
there are not seven who can spend, who
have that true thrift which is not stinginess,
though it sometimes looks like it.
