Jusr THE THrxe.-FILLs TINE BILL TO
Don, AND As THINGS GET Hor PoLrrIcALLy.
EvKRyBopY WILL WAsr Ir.-1he special
edition of the B. & o. Red Book. devoted to
the history of the Republican party and its
auteeedents, is an almost Indispensable
publication TO those at all interested in the
development of the campaign of the year.
Great care is manifested in the compilation
of data. and while everything is stated in
the most concise manner. the information
is SO clear and explicit As to be readily COM
pretended. The chapter devoted to the or
igin of the party and its national outcome
from the dismemberment Of prior parties is
of exceeding interest, as are also the points
showing party policy as expressed through
Congressional action. The condensed pro-
ceedings of the National Conventions ofthe
various parties, from the earliest period of
the country's history to the present, is OF no
ordinary value, and it is thing never be-
fore attempted in such form of publication.
Indeed, it would be difficult to tell ofall the
important information gathered together
and shown so intelligently In the little
book
Those who desire SO invaluable q text
book for handy reference, as matters grow
interesting, will not delay long in inclosing
two-cent stamp to C. X. Loid, Baltimore,
this being the only requisite to secure a
copy. In addition to the data having direct
bearing upon the one party, there is a vast
amount of information given as regards both
parties, and with the Red Book at hand no
one need be at loss for an authority to
settle almost any question in political his
tory which may come up. In common
| with all the b. g. o. publications, ii is a
model of perfect typography. the makeup
+, and type used generally being very far
above the average of political textbooks

A TRAMP OF 62,OOo MILEs-Every person
about Greensburg is familiar with the aged
but hale and vigorous figure Of Terry Nc
Cabe. the faithful night watchman of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The di-
vision of the road under his efficient care
extends from the tunnel east of Radebaugh's
station to point east of what is commonly
called McCauslin's cut, a distance of two
and one half miles. Over this route Watch
man NcCabe makes four trips nightly, and
carefully examines the tracks and their
belongings. that no accidents to passing
trains may occur. His patient, steady and
lonesome nightly tramp along the road
aggregates ten miles. His trips are made
every night in the week, making total of
20 miles weekly, or 3,640 miles year. As
watchman McCabe has been in continuous,
active service for period of fully seventeen
years, it will be seen that he has tranped
along the tracks on his division beat an ag-
gregate distance of 81 $50 miles. IL the in
cidental walking, including his going ard
returning from his nightly task, were COM
puted, it would be safe to say that during
his seventeen years of service he has trudg-
ed 10000 miles. His walks are made every
night in the year, regardless of rain or wind,
tropical warmth or the bitterest winter cold
and storm. How well and faithfully he
has discharged his plodding and grayely
responsible task, is attested by absence of
casualties on the division under his charge,
where blame would attach to him, in the
past seventeen years.
A clear idea can be formed of the great
walk of Watchman McCabe, when it is con-
sidered that the distance he has covered
would be more than twice around the world.
But few reductions need be made for nights
off or time lost, as he has suffered little or
no sickness during that period. In num-
ber of instances mentioned during the gen
eral period, the faithful watchman has
been on duty 3G5 consecutive nights during
the course of a year. on different occasions.
whileno neglecting his own duties, he has
been of much service to property holders OF
the borough in his nightly perambulations,
by discovering and promptly reporting in
cplent fires, in the quiet watches when
nearly all other eyes were closed in slum-
Der. From the elevated dumps, on the east
and west side of the town, an excellent OBJ
servation of the borough is to be had, equal
to the walls of the ancient cities on which
the watchmen tramped in their nightly
wills
