Robert Dale Owen died at his Summer
home on Lake George. last Sunday, at the
age Of IS. He was a native of Glasgow.
Scotland. His father was one of the earliest
of the British cotton manufacturers, and
became rich. His son was sent TO school IN
Switzerland, and his education there tended
to strengthen the liberal and philanthropic
bent of mind which he had acquired a.
home. lie came TO the United States IN
1923. and soon after purchased large tract
of land in Indiana, and established there
community on the socialist model, which he
called New Harmony. This attempt proved
a failure, but it did not destroy Mr.. Owen 8
faith in the practicability of such enter
priSes, though he never tried to establish
another. lie occupied himself afterward
with literary work and with various philan-
thropic schemes, and when the Republican
PARTY was formed took an active part in
politics. He was for time Minister of the
United States ct the court of Naples. Dur
ing the latter years Of his life he was much
interested in spiritualism, and wrote con
siderably on. that subject. His ready ac-
csptance OF the Katy King imposture, and
his frank acknowledgment atterward that
he had been deceived. are the latest events
in his life that attracted public notice.

closed a. soon as the plates now on hand

prison discipline, visitors now being excluded

Poor Railroad Manual for Is77-7S, Just
issued from the press The number Of
miles of railroad opened during the year
1876 was > s56, against l ,9l9 for 1873 and
1911 for 1874, the excess being almost en-
tirely due to the activity in Southern Pacific
lines ami in narrOw-guage lines in Ohio,
Texas and Colorado. as no new lines of
much magnitude were undertaken. The
gross earnings Of various roads, 50 far as
results have been reported. have amounted
to Si97, 257 ,959. falling IF Of over S4,-
100000 from the year previous, though the
net earnings increased nearly a million,

the last ten years, though the increase in
population in that time has been only %
per cent. The gross earnings in the New
England States last year were S45 go, 1893,
