CHEAP CAR FARES.
Speaking of cheap car fares, Cleve
land, O., has the world beat. That
city Is noted for the fact that It not
only sells fares lower than any other,
but also for the fact that it i)ays its
Btreot car operatives move than aay
other city in the world.
The street cars carry passengers for
a three-cent fare and furnish transfers
and transfers on transiers without ex
tra charge, bo that tlie passengers can
B'o from any part of the city to any
other part for ono faro. The ordi
nance under which it was bi'ought
about provides that the road must pay
t? per cent on its stock. 5 per cent on
its bonds and kw.p a reserve of a cer
tain amount. When the reserve gets
above a certain point, another reduc
tion Is to be *de; when it falls be
low, the fare may be raised. For
some time the fare has be^ 3 cents
with an additional cent for transfer,
and that took tho reserve above the
maximum limit. While striking off
the one cent for transfers will appar
ently bring the reserve below the min
imum, It Is believed the increase In
buBiness, toj^rether with the decrease
in per capita expense which it is
thought it will bring, will keep the re
ceipts at a figure that will hold the
reierve above the minimum.
Although Tora Jchnt?on. the people’s
frier.d, died before ihe dreams of his
lifo were fuliy his work is
bearing golden fruir. it was Johnson
who started ar ! maintained the figbt
for the throe cent ^aro and free trans
fer. He lost his fortune in the effort

(From A&heville Citizen.)
Western North Carolina is to have
a fair, such a fair as will be a credit
to western North Carolina, to Bun-
tombe county and to Asheville. At a
meeting yesterda.^' afternoon of a join^
committee I’epreseiiiins the board or
trade, the Retail iVIerchants’ associa
tion and the United Commercial Trav
elers there was no little enthusiasm
expressed concerning the matter and
stept> were taken which will insure its
success. The committees realize that
even if it has been some time in com
ing to a decision in the matter there
is/plenty of time in which to carry
out the" plans. The members of the
committee anticipate no difficulty in
getting the moral and linancial co
operation and supiiort of tho business
men of Asheville and western North
Carolina. There was presi3nt at the
meeting yesterday Jl. W. Plummer,
George S. Powell, A. Nichols, D. Har
ris, W. E. Kinley and N. Bucknei',
represtuiing the three organizations,
and Thomas J. Abbott who has hau
much eiperieuce in the coudition of
bhov.s and fairs.
Mr. Abbott gave the committee
t:omc valuable auggestions and put
oefore it for its consideration sever-
a; plan& by which the fair can be
Instiiuted. But probably the most
important matter which will go to in
sure the fair was tho proposition ol
H. W. Plu'iumfcr, who stated that he
;.’ould (ionato the use of the grounds
and the buildings at Kiversiue park
ior a westoru North Carolina fair
or I'or a Buncombe county fair. This
wiii be a great financial saving
amounting lo severa.1 thousand dol-
iins, making unncceiisary tiie collee-
lion of money lor baildiuga. it is this
isinch gives the committee cciill
dome l.'iat it can eaaiiy ruiso the
leuiainder cu tlie money required.
A campaign was mapped out for
the tinanclug of the fair. Stock is to
be issued wiiich v.iil be sold for flU
per tfhnr»i and iVur committees of
two men eaca were appointed to so
licit subaciiptions lo ine scock. ’’I'hey
are as follows: A. Nicliols and Vv. iii.
ivindley^ j. u. Stiwekather and C. 'A.
Uaird, i). iiarris and .J. \v\ Neei>,
ii. L. Hay and ,J. A. Nichols. These
committees are to go to work at
ones ana v.-iil report at the nuxt
.mooting, June s.
These ill charge of the promotion
cf iht» iuir are not going to be
saiisiied wit-i a i;;ii' that \Nill “jiist
do," they are ueuL on making it one
that the ]>eople will be proud ot;
oiui tuat v/ili form the nucleus of a
legu'ar iustituiion that will grow
in tiseiulnesb and lm{)ortaiice. A
glrnce at tho names of those who
have the matter in charge will show
that they are men who generallj' do
what (hey .;et out to do but tiieir
work caa be made (asier if tlie bus
iness men, and people as a whole,
will show' a spirit of lielpfulnesf;,
not sitii])ly hnnncial, but the aid of
though.' ard eiuonragement. V/lth
the buvdfMi of providing the buildings
taken off of them to a great extent,
the matter is gre.^tiy simplified but
there is a gr^at deal of vvork to do
yet; the committees will do their
part and with tho right help and en
couragemenc from the peoplp, all of
whom should be interested, they are
sure cf 6access.

Raising the Maine,
By Associated Press.
Havana, Cuba, .Tune 7.—The work of
pumping water from the cofferdam
which was built around the wreck of
the batilesliip Maine was resumed yes
terday. At 9 o’clock the water 'had
been lowered three feet, two inches.
At that time the top and sides of the
wreck's after deckrwere beginning to
come Into view and the sighting hood
of the aft-turret on the port side was
just awash.
The greater part of the after deck
is now clearly visibly, show'ing the
confused masses of wreckage with ma
rine growths. The forward part of the
sliip, upon which the greatest force of
the ex))losion was exerted is still sub
merged.
It is the intention of the army engi
neers to proceed slowly with the pump
ing until 5 o’clock this afternoon, when
the level of the water will have reced
ed to a total depth of five feet ami
then suspend all operations until the
arrival of the board of American army
officers, which Is expected tomorrow.

tales of other years.
They reported having passed early
ye&terday morning a formidable look
ing creature which was going at a
high speed in pursuit of a school
of oung whales. The monster, they
said, had wings, although it appear
ed to be an aquatic anin^, and rose
frequently 10 feet or rriore from the
water. Whales and pursuer faded
from sight within a few minutes.
