Globo-D Democrat, with its usual partisan want
Of candOr. goes so far az 20 say that this law
was passed against the protests OF Democratic
statesmen and newspapers" and claims al

Goodbye, Brother Blair.
from the New York Sum-

The removal from the Senate of the
picturesque and prolific Blair of New
Hampshire will certainly result in
material modification of the calendar
of business. For twelve years past the
industrious Senator has been the chief
fountain head of three or four classes of
bills, and has poured them forth with
out stint. His pet hobbies have been
education in the South, the protection
of labor, woman suffrage, and temper
ance, and without him it is hard to see
how these in, erests can hold their own
in the Senate as they have in the past.
The country has..now probably seen
the last of the gigantic educational
scheme in support Of which Senator
Blair has delivered so many sixty-page
speeches and consumed 80 many
months of legislative time. The num-
ber of labor and temperance bills that
will now go by the board is legion, and
as for woman suffrage, the champions
of that cause are bereaved indeed, are
in tears. Taking into consideration
also the remarkable abilities Of Mr..
Blair as an original, but unconscious
humorist, the withdrawal Of the Sena-
tor from active political life must be
regarded as public loss.

adopt it. II is smart" journalism and
likely to be profitable for awhile until
the good people who like that kind of
thing tire of it or the newspaper is
suspected of discriminating against

neglects to notice the next tooth

1t is the legitimate, natural evolution
of the society news"-of the pander-
ing to the small vanities and the taste
for notoriety and advertising and per-
sonal gossip and wherewith a great
proportion of our human race is
afflicted.
When people who have many friends
or kin go or come, knowledge of their
movements has an actual value for
many other people. Occasionally there
is public or semi-public entertain
ment which is proper subject for
pleasant description. But from the
"society news" with the heart burn
ings and petty jealousies, the wretched
little spites, the vacuos, Idle curiosity it
feeds, and the vulgar, unsocial and de-
basing tendencies which it cultivates
and develops to rank growth, may the
Lord deliver US.

in uniform, selected and trained for
this service, and intended to assist
ladies and children in their toilets and
in other ways, as they may be needed.
The observation car is, however, the
chief attraction Of the train. It con-
tains in front some sleeping berths, but
the rear and larger portion is fitted mp
like handsome parlor. k has win
dows slightly bowed, odd things for
railroad car. These give better view
of the country. The rear is almost all
of glass, to afford the best opportunity
for seeing. The platform outside is ex-
tended for open air observation. The
car is finished in mahogany and silk
embossed plush. contains elegant move
able easy chairs, sofas, and table, and
soft Wilton carpets and under foot.
There are two fine mahogany secre-
taries for writing, and all writing i'm
plements are at hand. There are por-
there's of silk plush embossed. There
is library of fiction, travel, and ad-
venture, and the leading newspapers
will be furnished. There is a buffet,
which will be in charge Of an artist in
the mixing line, and will furnish cigars
and liquors of all kinds. This room
is the lounging room for the whole
train, and whether the passengers de-
sire to read, see the country, talk or
lounge, he will find an inviting place
on some of the soft, rich cushions of
this palatial car.
Surrounded by such luxury, and
looking out upon the romantic pictures
which will be presented at every mile
of his journey, it may be well sur
missed that a trip which may hitherto
have been looked forward to as ne
cessary evil will become an occasion
where one will "rock the tedious time
in adelightful dream" from which the
arrival at his destinations will seem
like a rude and unpleasant awaken
ing.
With these trains, the trip of $50
miles between Washington and At
lanta! will be made in nineteen hours,
five hours less than the present time.
Such trains will be the first to be put
on any Southern line for all the year,
The trains will never be filed beyond
their capacity, and the additional
charge on them will be small. The cars
to be used are named as follows: Obser-
vation cars, Chevalier, Consort, Courtier;
dining and baggage cars, Acileus, De-
mitrius; regular sleepers, Senator,
Southron, Diplomatic. All will be
lighted by the Pintsch gas system and
heated by the New York safety sys-
tenn of steam heating. Every section
will have Its own lights. Electric
bells are also supplied everywhere.
The cars were built especially for this
company. The value of the vestibule
arrangement in increasing the buffers
and thus rendering travel more safe oa
such trains has been frequently DEM
onstrated.

while the bitten finger began to swell,

On Sunday Brown died. Coroner
Dukes was summoned, and al Inquest
was held here to-day over the dead
body. Doctors Able & Able, who con-
Quoted the post mortem examination,
say that Browns death was caused by
the bite, aud that the bite Of a ''blue

proves fatal.

BORING TUNNELS BY TIE SPARK:
Electricity to be Applied to Making Holes
in the Andes.

The new railway which is to connect
the Argentine Republic with Chill
will necessitate the boring of eight tun-
nels through the Andes Mountains ofa
total length of nearly ten miles. These
tunnels, in whose construction water
power and electricity are to be largely
used in a novel form, have already
been commenced at twenty points.
Since August last a cataract of the
Juncalillo river, which has fall of
nearly 600 feet, has been made use otto
supply the power in carrying out
the boring operations in the tun-
nels of Portillo, La Calavera and
La Cdmbre. The Portillo tunnel takes
a serpentine course through the mas
sive rock, and its upper side, $50 feet
above the entrance. The water Of the
Juncalillo cataract is conveyed through
steel pipes half a metre in diameter for
the distance Of about mile to the jun
cal Station.
The boring machines employed in
these three tunnels require force of
1000 horse power to drive, and this Is
obtained by converting the water pow
er into electricity. The water, which
is carried through the steel pipes, is
made to set in motion ten turbines,
each Of 80 horse power, which are con-
nected with the electrical machines.
The electricity thus produced is con-
Quoted through strong insulated cop
per cables to and Calavera. From
Juncalillo air-pressure machines are
also supplied in the serpentine
tunnel leading up to Portillo.
From Calavera four so horse power
dynamo machines generate the cleo
tricity for the Cumbre tunnel, where
six borers, all working at the same
time, are driven by eight air pressure
engines. On the Argentine side Of the
mountains another cataract, near Ma
varro, has been similarly used for driv-
ing four turbines, each of S0-horse
power. Owing to the distance Of the
western smaller portion of the Cum
bre tunnel, water power cannot there
be employed, and the borings are being
carried out by hand. Wherever water
and electricity can be used the boring
operations are performed, it is estimat-
ed fully four times as rapidly as they
would be by hand.

The Sockless Statesman.
T From the New York Sun. I

Jerome Socrates Simpson, the SOCK
less statesman from Medicine Lodge,
Kansas, is not product of American
soil, but was born in Vroomield,
hamlet five miles below Sarnia, Ont.
On the st. Clair River was his birth
place, and many traditions of his youth
full exploits are now coming to light.
One of these says that on one occasion,
when be and his stalwart brothers were
not expected at a party, they descended
upon the assembled guests, cleaned out
the young men, and danced with the
girls until morning. Along the river
jeremiah is still known as Capt. Simp-
son, for he sailed a schooner until he

SENATORIAL ENDURANCE.
Speaking for Twelve Hours Without Be-
trayinG Fatigue.
From the New York Sun.

lH1ou tuS NS" IO(h tSuu
WASHINGTON Jan. 19-The won
! derful power Of endurance dis
played by Senator Faulkner of West
Virginia, in speaking steadily for
twelve hours all through Friday night
and Saturday morning, and then stick
ing to his post and taking part in the
subsequent proceedings of Saturday
afternoon without betraying the slight
est fatigue, is the theme of much adj.
miring comment here, but it is no sur
prise to those who have hx,--e6
remarked the physical prowess. of the
West Virginians in Congress. They
are indeed a sturdy set of men, al
though not especially in appearance.
This same Senator Faulkner in the last
campaign used to travel all night over
rough country roads and then make
stump speeches all day, for weeks in
succession, sometimes not sleeping half
an hour for two or three days at time.
He is not large man, and no ona
would pick him out as one fit for that
sort of work. Congressman Wilson is
another indefatigable West Virginian.
Though frail in appearance and said to
be threatened with consumption, or
something of that sort, he can rival
Faulkner for hard work on stumping
tour, and his canvasses among the
mountains and wild country districts
in the interior of his State are said to
be marvels of endurance. Senator
Kenna is another good example of West
Virginian iron in the blood. He espends
much of his vacation time in hunting
and roughing it in the wilderness. Dur
ing the three weeks just previous to s
the beginning of the present session he
was on steady tramp through the
woods and mountain gorges of the
Allegheny divide and killed twenty
nine deer, besides no end of smaller
game. These three men can probably
outlast any other three men in Con-
gress, thanks not to superior physique,
but to their lifelong habits of outdoor
life.

REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS.
Venerable Won enWhose Husbands Fought
in the War.
[ From a Washington Letter.

FROM a Washington Letter.
The last Revolt tionary soldier died
years ago. But the revolutionary
widows are still with US. Twenty ven
cradle women whose husbands ''ft" for
American independence are carried
upon the pension rolls. 1t is amazing
how the widows Of soldiers hold on.
At the present time Uncle Sam is dis
bursting S33S,S47 year 10 the old SOL
diers of the war of 1872. But the wild
ows Of the old soldiers Of the war of
1872 are drawing in pensions the snug
sum Of 81 1858, ,239 annually.
When we get down to the Mexican
war We find the survivors little the
best of it. They draw 81, 728,027 a year.
The Mexican war widows get $685., ,054.
But the widows are creeping up on
the survivors. 1t will be only few
years until the Mexican war widows
will be drawing more pension money
than the survivors. That is the way
the pension laws work out. At the
pension office this is we'll understood.
1t is explained in few words. The old
pensioners marry young wives and
leave them their blessings and pen-
sions.
The pensioners of the civil war will
reach their maximum in numbers
eight Or ten years from nowi if there are
no more pension laws enacted. But the
widows list will keep on growing for
quarter of a century.
Fifty years from now there will not
be a Grand Army man living. Seventy
five years from now grateful Repub-
lie will still be reimbursing widows for
what their husbands suffered at Get
tysburg and Chickamauga. Women
are yet to be born who will become
widows Of old soldiers and draw pen
sions for their husbands services in the
war of 1S6l-5.
There are to-day over one hundred
thousand widows on the pension rolls.
The pensioners number 100000. These
figures will be reversed in twenty
years. Ninety-eigbt thousand widows
widows draw So month. Last year
the civil war pensioners drew ST., ST.
6l9. The civil war widows drew $19,-
GJ6,-S57, more thar one-fourth of the
magnificent total.
