ELI COOPER, LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER
He Was the First to Draw Rein on the
Iron Horse in America.
Especial correspondence


Bosror Oct. S.-Many locomotives in
these days travel sixty miles en- hour, while
a few travel at the rate of seventy miles A
speed of eighty miles an hour is said to have
been occasionally attained. To the people Of
this generation, who think nothing of travel
ing over country at such tremendous
speed that they can't count the towns as they
pass them, pulled along by magnificent, well
proportional, powerful locomotives, one of
the numbering, i'll shapen, ugly masses of
iron used as locomotives fifty years ago
would seem very ridiculous
There Is such one in the National museum
at Washington 1t is actually funny.
The boiler is low down near the ground,
and bullying out all over with iron warts.
The evolution of the locomotive is q fine
study-a study growing more and more in
popularity nowadays, when nearly everybody
knows something about the iron horse.
The first locomotive imported into America
was bought in Manchester, England, of the
Stephenson company, by Kirk Boot, for the
Boston and Lowell Railroad corporation 1t
arrived in America in 1884, and for conve-
nience Of transportation had been stripped as
far as possible. When it reached Boston
it was placed on several boats of the
Mddlesex Canal company and drawn
to Lowell With the locomotive came a
planer and tools for building locomotives, and
as soon as patterns could be prepared new 10

three or four days before the Stephenson
made its trip. The Stephenson weighed
eight tons, and had four wheels with outside
connections. The boiler had lis tubes,
which were small and intended for burning
coal; but In using wood they became clogeed.
and in order to clear them out the locomo-
tive was stopped ind tie fireman cleaned
them with a long rod The coach which
was used In tie trip WIS small affair, with
seats at the side. Tho first trip was made
from Lowell in June, 1855. and the distance.
twenty-six miles, to Boston, made in seventy
ssvcn minutes John Barrett was the first
conductor, and Eli Cooper, whose portrait Is
given herewith, the engineer. After running
four years, THE Stephenson was put in the
machine shop and made ever by Eli Cooper
and others.
Mr.. Cooper Is now living in Woburn,
Mass, ut the age Of s. BE was born in
Stockport England, Dec. lo, 1864, aud came
to this country with bis parents In 1906. In
1874 be went to Lowell, where he learned the
machine trade, and worked for the Locks
and Canals company, the Lowell machine
shop and the Boston and Lowell Railroad

The building is to be thirteen stories high.
Tho thirteenth story will be % feet from
floor to ceiling, its windows looking out
above tho highest structures Of the city on
all sides, and its slate and iron roof pierced
with several skylights. This story will be
occupied, as was the top floor of the former
building, by the composing room Of Tho
Times, and the 100 or moro printers and
proof readers employed there have reason to
expect that, in the new structure, theirs will
be the finest workroom of its kind in the
world.

which is quite frequently performed in New

were completely torn away, disclosing to
view temporary walls Of wood, covered with
tarred paper and tin. and the numerous
floors were braced and held in position by
heavy scaffoldings under each, which were
gradually taken away as the new walls made
them unnecessary. When these walls were
finished the new floors were put in, starting
from the top and going downwards, thus

With an orderly care,
And she daintily dips 1t under;
Not q drop, not dint,
Not speckle Of lint,
For her cleaning it is a wonder.
See the tinkling glass.
In sparkling mass,
And the shining silver round it;
For, you know, there's way,
To turn work Into play,
And the thrifty lass has found it.
So the plates and the knives,
Lead hilarious lives,
And the cups and saucers rollic;
Even kettles and pans,
In her generous plans,
Take the scraping for frolic.

ume he C1ouis) hoped he would be able to
meet Valerie again; but IL must not be UNI
I'll he could think without pain that she
was Max Beauregard's wife-and that
could not be yet, for years to come. But
Max smiled little to himself when he read
this; Louis would get over his trouble soon
or than the young man supposed now.
"Well," Aston Lawford said, when he
heard the announcement Of Valerie's en-
gagement, ''the girl has got all she played
for. Iwish her joyr'
at is my opinion" observed his sister,
shat Max Beauregard loved her all along;
and very likely she was fond of him, only
she wouldn't have married him while he
was comparatively poor!'
"Just as well, then, she refused me. /
don't want a wife who would fiirt with an
other fellow!''
OF course society" had various opinions:
many declared that Beauregard was lin
fatuated," to strike his colors at last TO a
girl who had so openly Tilted another man
for him; the men did not at all wonder at
this ''infatuatiOn;" others said there was
more in it than appeared, and hit the truth,
or very near it: uteverybody talked about
the approaching marriage, and discussed
it with as much interest as If it vitality con-
cerned their own happiness.

St. Peters Eaton Square was brilliant with
glittering uniforms, on which the sun Of

! never thought of adniring eyes as he passed
down the nav, with his bride; nor did Va

miratiOn that greeted her, though she bore
herself calmly: she saw nothing but a mist
of color, knew nothing but that she was

And when they were alone together in
the carriage, and he took her hands in his
and drew her toward him, she trembled,
and flushed and paiel in breath.

the slight fOrm to his heart, and kissing
the soft lips, my Fairy Queen now, my
worshipped wife"
