grizzled gray beard that had once been

Last OF the Barons."

Richard Neville, Earl Of Warwick, and
known in history as the king maker, may be
regarded as tho hero Of the famous ~Wars Of
the Roses He Was the eldest son of Rich
ard Neville, who had obtained through his
marriage with the heiress Of the Montacutes
the earldom OF Salisbury, and stood high in
court favor 10 the early part Of the reign of
Henry VI. His eldest son Richard married
the heiress Of Beauchamps, Earl Of Warwick,
inherited his estates, and was created Earl Of
Warwick in l449 Joining the party of the
Duke Of York he rendered great service to
the cause Of that prince, gaining almost en-
tirely by his individual efforts the signal VIC
tory Of St Adams in 1856, and subsequently
defeating the LancastTisns at Northampton
in 1850, and at Towton IN 1851, capturing
King Henry VI and securing the throne for
Edward ". Warwick then became a great
favorite with the sovereign and the most
powerful nobleman In the realm.
About nine years later, however, he quar-
relied with Edward, made an alliance with
bis old enemies, the Lancastrians, proclaimed
Henry VI and drove Edward out of England
The latter prince, however, returned to Eng
land In 1471, and on April IA gained the de-
cisive victory of Barnet, in which the Earl
Of Warwick was slain. One of his daughters
was married to the Duke Of Clarence and

Where Cars Are Run with Sails.

Twas looking at some models in the Ma.
tional museum of curious cars used in the
early days Of railroading In this country,
when Mr.. Watkins, the curator, pointed out
one particular one that had mast and sails.
Experiments with such cars were made on
the Baltimore and Ohio and on the South
Carolina road
1t was then serious question whether the
motive power on railroads would be sail,
horse or steam. The steam locomotive was
still looked upon as an experiment. Sail cars
are used today on O guano railroad on the
island Of Maiden, in the South Pacific They
are, in fact, used nearer home than that, for
railroad men at Barnegat Beach, when the
wind is favorable, frequently ride over the
road on construction cars-sloop rugged.
THE wind has good deal to do with rail
reading even today" Mr.. Watkins said
''If you go to the Bureau of Intelligence, at
the Broad street station, Philadelphia, and
ask whether some train, say from New York,
is likely to be on time, you may be informed
that it is likely to be four or five minutes
late, because there is strong wind from the
west Winds make considerable difference in
the running time Of trains. "-Philadelphia
