' Th sppelllnjr lint of dead and the heavy
mrse unrd by railroad companle In
the wreck, of the last few years are the
real causes of the appearance of the all
steel passenger car, which haa only been
tlsfactorily developed within the lam
ear. All-steel can are by no mean new,
however. ,Tho big coal companies have
uaed them for carriers for several yearn, a
have the railroad for freight. Steel proved
lt efficiency few this service as It has In
others and the wonder Is that the all-steel
passenger car has been bo late In arriving.
Had even the combination baggage car
next to the locomotive In the wreck of tho
Tw.sitleth Century Limited been all-steel,
railroad men now say, the loss of life
would have been greatly reduced. In this
ristance a train of the most expensive and
luxurious palat e cars, built of finely grained
and supposedly fireproof . wood on steel
frames was twisted out of all resemblance
of shupc In the holocaust that followed
the derailment of the locomotive. Tot If
all those cars had been of steel and had
coino through the wreck unscathed. It Is,
perhaps, unpleasant to think of the effect
of tho terrible concussion to the passengers
Inside. Try and Imagine the shock which
would follow a l,OGO-ton trlass dying through
space at the rate of a mile a minute If
that mass left Its traveling rails and
brought up against ah abrupt obstruction.
Should the all-steel car remain Intact after
such a collision, as it Is said It would, the
passengers Inside would probably be Jolted
more severely than a battleship's crew
after the cry, ''Stand by to ram!" Perhaps
In the future passenger agents will tender
with each ticket a pneumatic rubber suit
or padded sleeping bag to lake up tha Jar
In case of collision. Who can tell?
But rahruads must make time, and the
public must ride. The day will never come,
probably, when the big transportation com
panies will cease to compete for public
favor, nor the hour arrive when the publlo
will refuse to ride on the fastest train that
travels. , ...
Haiiim Get Basf.
The casualties of the wrecks that stain
railroad history a brilliant red have really
bad more effect upon the corporations than
the people. All the public needs to take
another chance after a terrible disaster
Is a bit of encouragement, and while It
looks aft easy task, the railroads have been
forced to work to keep the people's con
fidence In the safety of their respective
traveling facilities. The block system and
the electric switches have contributed their
share; the parlor car and sleeper theirs.
Then, from airbrakes down to. fire extin
guishers, a long list of devices have come
to stay anything to help quiet alarm while
the great heavy trains are eating -up dis
tance at the rate of a mile a minute, and
often .much faster.
Fire, probably more than the shock of
collision, has been . tha danger against
which construction companies have ha,d to
contend, and the electrical devices put on
tha old wooden trains only added to .the
danger of conflagration. Something that
would not burn and something that would
not break was wanted. Some armored ob
ject built like a battleship on wheels
seemed the only 'structure to stand the '
year, and :ar" of the "new service. The
engineers turned to the same material that
the marina architects had used to build
their ships, and the all-steel cars finally
came Into existence. Weight has always
been the argument "used against the
theories advanced for the all-steel car here
tofore, and It was only In tha last year
and a half that the first really practical
model was produced. Today, outside of
Manhattan's subway, tha few all-steel pas
senger cars In service can be counted on
tha fingers of ona hand.
Fatalities la tho Mall service.
To the executive heads of tha railway
mall service who have long been united In
a demand for better safety conditions for
employes aboard fast trains, Is due not
a small part of the credit for securing the
all-steel coach. These men were supported
by tha families and friends of the em
ployes, but say they always found strong
opposition from railway lobbyists, who
have opposed various plans for steel cars
en tha ground of weight, unwleldtness and
expensive building. Heavy losses In 1902
and 1909. however, brought tha long fight
to a crisis. Figures furnished y tho rail
way mafl service for the ten years Includ
ing 1S96 and 1904 show that 103 men have
been killed, 60 seriously Injured, and tMO
slightly Injured la 'tha mall cars alone.
In 1903, It Is said, twenty-two were killed,
of whom eight were burned to death, and
In 1904 twenty-one were killed, of whom
three were burned to death.
Following tha activity of tha railway mall
service, demands that could not be over
looked were mads, upon the Postoffloe de
partment, and It was decided that In tha
specifications for cars thereafter to be built
would be Included provisions for steel plates
running tho length of the cars to reinforce
heavy wooden girders and for other means
that would make for safety. That was
bout tha situation when the agitation for
11-steel cars was started. Credit has been
given to 'tha president of tha Erie railroad
for the launching of this campaign and
also for the Investigation and expeiimental
work which followed. II wrote to the gov
ernment postal authorities expressing -tha
conviction that steel cars should be de
manded for mall service, snd offering to
make experiments In order to demonstrate
his theories. The oar was built and has
been Inspected. The postal official on the
Inspection declared his belief that th new
Cur proved ths contention In the service
that V work could be mad saf without
undus expense to tho companies- to build
and own the cars, and without the trains
being too heavy. About tb sam time mall
curs for other companies war built.
All-Steel Mall Cars. .
If to tha fcrl railroad belongs tha credit
for starting th agitation for all-steel mail
cars, to the Long Island railroad must be
tvn the credit for tha first Instalment and
reotlctU use of all-steel passenger cars rn
urfue roads. Th Interborough. company
was th first road In this country, and prob
ably In tha world, to put them Into service.
Theirs however, was an entirely nowprub
km, and tunnel eocident In Europe, par-'
Ocularly ona honlblo catastrophe In France,
practically forced the then new subway
company In Now York to add th steel cars
to Its already completed equipment. On
hundred and forty alt-steel cars have been
oid. red for th Long Island railroad, and
fifty are ready for us a soon as th elec
trification of that railroad 1 completed.
The Long Island car hv cot been built
expressly fur th mails, but for th general
passenger service, with a seating caiactty
of lUty-two persons to each car. Each car
will be fitted with two Sou-hoi -power mot
ors, and th 190 cars will cost. It Is said, as
high as tlS.one apiece. They are being re
ceived In skeleton form and fitted up with
letrti-al equipment In th Pennsylvania
shops at Springfield. N. J.
la Mar Inst the New York Central put In
n order for IV) all-eieel passenger ears, to
(M oonipsitU as sooa as possible. Tuy will
b tried first on th suburban thies, and
eventually will b placed In the regular
long-distance service. When this contract
was executed th manufacturing company
which closed It Is reported to hav made
the statement that this particular order
marked a revotetion fn car building.' Tha
steel cars In tha Interborough company's
subway came from the same Works and a
large shipment Is now being completed at
thl factory for London.
Movement Spreading.
In February three new all-steel mull cars
were delivered to the "Consolidated" road
In New Haven, and a fourth was to follow.
They are to be used In th railroad mall
service between New York and Boston
snd are the first all-steel mall car ever
used In New England. Ona of the main
features Is the closed street and, with a
diaphragm so that nobody not authorised
can come aboard. Inside the cars there Is
a mall distributing department, an assort
ing department and a storage department.
They are fitted with assorting tables and
racks for pouches. There are two large
side doors to facilitate the work of trans
ferring the mall. These four car ar
among th first steel mall cars to b
equipped with six-wheel trucks, and sr
said to hav been built In accordance with
specifications made by th postal authori
ties. In the new all-steel cars for suburban
service there aeerrts to be a hesitancy as to
the placing of the doors. The English cars
began with a stage coach, .taken off , it
running gear and set upon trucks, and th
likeness to, the old vehicle Is still retained.
Here in America, although the coach Idea
was once used and th term still holds In
rntlway parlance, the builders Ot roads
adopted th elongated box with end doors
as a standard and have rigidly adhered to
It tfp to the present time. No design, prob
ably, could have been Mt upon which com
pelled a greater waste of time In unload
ing. After some fifty years of experience
railroad men now are coming to think that
the side doors help the quirk movement of
passengers, and from th perfection at
tained, by use of them on the Illinois Cen
tral, It Is quite probable that the new su
burban all-steel cars will be provided with
them. The doors are worked by mechanism
within the car walls, and the control Is at
the end of th ear. The car Is vestibuled
and has end doors also.
The accident xone In the neighborhood of
Manhattan ha always covered a large area
on the rallrosd casualty maps, and the ex
perience has been such that tha modern
rapid transit routes now building should
have everything complete In the safety de
vices which guard the traveler publlo.

today. At the close the September option
was up HKHc. Corn shows a gain of c.
Oats are unchanged. Provisions are elJo

Sentiment In the wheat pit throughout the
greater part of the session Inclined to bull
ishness, although no decided strength was
manifested. At the opening September was
up Hc to HA Ho at 84Vi)4Hc. From the
smrt shorts ware moderate buyers, and
while commission houses told, offerings
were not of large volume. A factor that
Inspired some buying was wet weather in
the Canadian northwest. Weather In the
United States, however, was extremely fa
vorable for the new crop and tended to hold
buyers In check. Decrease In shipments
from Australia formed a bullish Influence,
exports lor the week being onlv 17.ij0 bu.,
against 4in.oj bu. the week previous ana
27X bu. the corresponding week a year
ago. Thi September option here mas con
fined within lc range the lowest point
touched shortly after the opening being at
83Hc. while the highest point was at Mc.
The market closed firm, with September at
84Hc. Primary receipts were 637. 0n0
bu., compared with 278.n.v bu. a year ago.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 72,Xi0 bu. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 17i cars, against
149 cars last week and 23 cars a year auo.
In corn the prospects for lighter receipts
started active buying by shorts and re
sulted In a strong market. Firm cables
and Improved demand for cash corn helped
to stimulate buying. The market was sup

CATTLE There was only three cars on
Sale todao', not enough to make a market.
Receipts for the week have been liberal,
about 817 -ars being received, which is an
increase ot about 44 cars over- last week
and a gain of about 613 cars as compared
to the corresponding week of a year ago,
when - the strike at tha- packing house
made receipt unusually light: i The general
ijuallty of ihe caille was gtod. 1
' Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were
good days In the beef Steer department, the
market ruling about steady for the three
days. Buyers were not overly anxious tor
supplies at any time and for the most part
trailing was slow and It was rather late
before the stuff was all picked up. The
market went off aome the fast two market
days and shows a little weaker feelinc on
the general run of cattle. Qood handy-4.
weiKiu stun is just auout steady ror tne
week, these kinds being In fair demand,
but the heavy cattle and common and
grassy kinds are off 104jl6e, with a slow,
draggy movement. Some Wyoming Texas
cattle were received that sold very satis
factorily. There was a fair supply of cows and
heifers here this week, but the market on
the common and grassy kinds broke badly.
Good, heavy, dry-lot cows and good, fat
heifers show little change, but the eommon
kljids show a decline of 56'40c. Buyers
were Indifferent on these kinds and the
trade was very slow snd dull.
Oood bulls are about- steady, but grassy
kinds are 260 lower.
Veal calves and stags show little change
and are about steady.
There was a small supply of stockers
and feeders here this week and the quality
was pofr, trashy stuff, being much In evi
dence. There Is little demand for thi iinj
of stuff and the market for the week shews
a uecnne 01 anoui lixii&a. ' , '
HOGS-There was afcout the osualSatur
da,y " II" here- Bbou J1 ,OB0 bnng on
sale. The receipts here were heavier than
st any of the other market renters. Light
receipts and encouraging reports from east
ern points gave sellers the advantage here
end prices ruled higher. On the opening
trading was slow and It was some little
time before much was done. After the flrst
round or two. however, buyers and sellers
got together and trading was active. Price
ruled generally JHc higher than yesterday's
best time, or. a nickel hlnrtier than yester
day's general market. The bulk of the
boas sold at f5.6afi5.55. with th long string
selling at 85.62. As high as (5.60 was pa"!
for a good load of 176-pound hogs, which
was the top price of the day. The stuff
moved readily and a clearance was made In
good season, the market closing strung at
the advance. Representative sales:

There as a god strong demand for sup

CIGAR PROTECTOR FOtTrACERS
Designed for A ntomoblllsts anil
Other Golagr la Open Air at
High Speed.
More luxury for the autoniohlllst, thlg i
In the form of a cigar protector, a devic
to permit smoking while traveling at high
speed; and the same device will serve also
for the yachtsman.
The cigar protector, which Is made en
tirely of gold, is cylindrical In shape and
about an Inch or an Inch and a quarter
In length, and of sufficient diameter to
take In the large end of a good-slxed cigar,'
The body Is of very flne-uieshed wlr
gauze, the outer end being closed with a
thin, rounded, solid cap. From one sld
of the open end of the cylinder. Into which
the burning end of the cigar Is Inserted,
projects, in line with the cylinder and with
iuc usar, a nine sirnigiii jengin or will,
half an inch . or so long, to th end ot
which and at right angles to It, In lln
with the cylinder's opening, Is attached a
divided ring of wire, with some spring
to - It, to close around the body of th
cigar, and so hold the protector In place.
You light th cigar and Insert th lighted
end in the wire gauxe protector, which the
spring ring, further back on the cigar,
holds In place securely. The flne-meshed
gauxe lets through sufficient air for com
bustlon, but not enough to blow the cigar.
As the clfar burns away In smoking th
ring Is shifted up on the hydy of the weed,
and thus the burning end Is kept within
th protector.
With an unprotected cigar. In tha old
way, when the smoker was moving at speed
the ashes Mew and tha spark 6k w, and
smoking was anything but a comfort; but
such smoking may now be dune wlik fileaa.
ure, for tbls novel protector Is (aid to serve
Its purpose well. Made of 14-carat gold,
and with a dull, or Roman finish It sells
at 113.50. Washington post
