the gauntlet of the critics, who say
that his scheme for helping the poor OF
Darkest England is taken bodily from
the plan of Count Rumford, tried q
hundred years ago in Bavaria. This is
a mistake. Count Rumford was one of
the most eminent men that America
has produced, and, according to Prof.
Tyndall, his discoveries about heat
along with their practical application
place him in the front rank of his con.
temporaries. But his relief of the
poor was altogether coercive system,
unconnected with moral or religious
agencies, and succeeded only in driving
beggars from Bavaria into the adjoin-
ing countries.

Topeka Capital: A new compound
passenger engine has just been placed
in service on the Santa Fe between To-

marvel of mechanical ingenuity, being
combination of the features of the

engine. The advantages obtained are
increased power, and decrease of fuel
consumed. This is. the first OF the kind

number of the engine is 44O.

Union Pacific, transferring all east
bound freight picked up by the Grand
Island road on the western end OF tine
line, to the Missouri Pacific road at
Hiawatha, Kan, thus sending it east
via Atchison. The transfer from one
road to the other at Hiawatha is easily
made, as the roads have joint yards
there. Railroad men say that it will be
only short time until SAID Grand
Island passenger trains will be run
through to Kansas City over the MIS-
souri, Pacific from Hiawatba, leaving st.
Joseph with but local train from that
city. AS the headquarters Of the new
Kansas division are now at Kansas
City, the trains will be run through to
that city as matter Of convenience.
