Tobacco and Civilization.
Prof, Smaller in Scribner.

The development of the American
colonies, their rapid growth in the cen
tury preceding the American revolution,
depended in a large measure on botan-
ical accident, Viz, on the introduction
of tobacco into the commerce of the
world. No contribution from early dis
covered lands has ever been so well
coined as this so-called noxious weed.
No new faith has ever travelled SO fast
and far among men as the habit of
smoking. In scarce century from the
first introduction of the plant in Europe
its use had spread to nearly half the
people of the Old World. The eastern
coast of America from the Hudson
southwark TO South Carolina, is peculiar

The paper was the pioneer in its line

some, thoughtful man, with iron gray
hair, comes down TO this building and
manages the paper. He does not try to
be funny. He knew when he had
enough. That is James NJ. Bailey, who
made his mark upon the current litera-
ture of his time and then quietly re-
sumed the business of publishing an
evening paper with no features to it, just
as though he had always done so. Mr..
Bailey is an unwilling victim of the
baseball scourge, for he is one of the To-
cal board, think, or something of that
kind, and owns stock in a club, while he
doesn't really know how many strikes
a side has before it is out, and still thinks
that you have got to raise blood blister

the ''gool" in order to get him. Mr..
Bailey claims yet that player who is

Large locomotives Being Built for
the Rock island 4 Pe0rla---A New
Chair Car
At the general shops of the r. l. & P.
road in Peoria which. by the way. might
be in Rock Island-Msster Mechanic Jo-
seph Elder is at present engaged in
building some of the heaviest engines
ever put on western road. The Journal
says:
Ten years ago q thirty ton engine was
considered quite monster and cars with
a capacity of 10000 pounds we're large
enough for any use. But since they have
commenced to put elevators on wheels to
drag about the country it has also be-
come necessary to provide a pulling
power that will copnterbalsnce that in
creased tonnage. The moguls, consols,
''hOg" engines and the like have come in
to use. and they drag twenty five or thirty
immense cars as easily as a child drsgs
his play cart. A fifty>ton engine is
lust now being built at the Rock
Island shops, and Mr. Elder says
it will have greater pulling pow
er than the consolidated engines
on the roads leading east of here.
The road bed of the Rock Island enables
it to place as much weight on it as NAV
be found necessary. As soon as this To-
connective is completed it is the intention
to build one still larger, and plans are
being made for that purpose now.
The same rule is followed in car build.
ino NnfhInt o. lesa than RI foot cars on
and as fast as the small ones are disabled
they are turned into coal cars or gravel
flats and new ones take their places. built
on a much more extensive plan.
By the Fourth of July handsome
chair car will also be turned out of the
shops. This is for use between Peoria
aud Rock Island and will be IS free as
air. The decorative work is Of very
superior order, man having been i'm
ported to do it.

His recent trip around the world brings

agreeable and successful confinement in
the Boston Bastile, during which he sue
ceeded in attracting good deal of at
tention in one way and another. He had
tried on being liberated to purchase a
suit of convict stripes, which he might
wear upon debutting; but Boston does
not keen an assortment of this kind of

pointed. He therefore had to buy suit
of broad stripe seersucker, and with a

He wrote verse of poetry for me with
red, blue and green pencils. 1t is not
good poetry, but it is bright and cheer
full to look at. Mr.. Train is never so
bright and clipper as when he is occu-
