The First Electrical Mill rramroad

The Thomson-H Houston company has
completed and put into operation the
first electric mill tramroad in Chicago,
at the works of the Northwestern Terra
Gotta company. The line is 1,7O0 feet
long, including the loop. The overhead
conductor consists Of two No. 2 B. g. s.
gauge copper wires. AS the power is
supplied from an incandescent lighting
plant it was deemed advisable not to use
one wire and rail for return current, so
double trolley system was installed.
The line has six curves Of less than forty
feet radius.
A loaded train can start from the
works and unload in the storage yard
and continue to the clay sheds for a re-
turn load for the works. The track is
three feet gauge, has 3O-pound T rail
on pine ties, spaced two feet between
centers. The greatest grade is A per
cent. The motor car is equipped with
two 3-horsepower railroad motors, hung
on the axles. The motor has hauled ten
tons on level track.-New York Tele-

No Straw Hats to BE Had.

A gentleman desiring to buy straw
hat for his son stepped into a large hat
store down town the other day and as
certained, much to his surprise, that
straw hats were actually scarce in the
market. He asked for a 6% hat, and
was informed that the firms supply of
that particular size of hats was COM
pletely exhausted. He sought another
hat store and received similar informa-
ton, and few hours later visit to a
large up town store met with the same
result. The gentleman's curiosity was
aroused and he asked several questions.
He learned that the demand for straw
hats has been unprecedentedly large
this season, and that the supply of GER
tain grades and sizes is almost exhausted.
The size of 81 is always in active de-
mand, and the supply has fallen short
this year.
"The stocks of straw hats are dwind-
ling rapidly in every quarter, explained
a well known hat dealer, "and we cannot
replenish this year, for the reason that
the factories have made up all Of Their
straw and shut down. Next season they
will probably increase their output, and
the craze for straw hats may give way
to something else. That is the way
things run in trade generally" The
scarcity of straw hats has caused SHARP
advance in the prices Of certain grades
of straws.-New York Times.

When Money Was Plenty.

There is class of men, particularly
in the western country, who get into the
habit of stretching the truth of incidents
which occurred in their pioneer days un-
til they become to believe them as facts.
One of the most scientific of these is Jim
Hawthorne, whose home now is near
White Pine, Gunnison county. Here is
one of Jim's stories: ''Me AMI my pard-
ner," he observed, ''made more money
in them days than we knew what to do
with. For instance, when we had that
big government contract for wood we
was rollin in money. Money was COM
moner than chipmunks, and it wasn't
much good to us neither, cause we didn't
have no stores to spend it at. That con-
tract was for $4,000 cords Of wood. We
got $175 cord, and we made money
very easy" "What was the government
doing with so much wood?" "Well,
don't know. Some of it was used by
the Indians. The government just had
it left around handy for clambakes. y
"Clambakes?" "Why, cert; clambakes
were very common in them days OF TN
Platte" "Did you deliver the full con-
tract?" "No. We kind of let up after
we had delivered 40, 900 cords. We didn't
want to bust the government. I just
tell this to show you how plenty money
was in them days."-Colorado Sun.

Tho Newsbox.s kindness.

The words Of Shakespeare, Zone
touch of nature makes the whole world
kim" were never more forcibly illus
trated than in the case of the paralyzed
newsboy who sits in wheel chair on
the corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty
third street. He first made. his appear
ance there about two years ago, and his
wan, pinched face plainly indicated
that he had long been an invalid.
The newsboys all sympathize with
him. They help him fold and arrange
his papers. On warm days they take
turns tanning him, carry his little fold
ing table and assist him in various
ways.
One day during the late hot spell a
ragged urchin with bundle of papers
under his arm, barefooted and dirt be-
grimed and carrying a tin pail in his
hand, walked up to the cashiers window
in store not far from where the cripple
sits. Rapping on the window he at
tracted the attention of the casEicr, and
as he stood on his tiptoes he handed in
his pail, while smile as bewitching as
any society belle is capable of encircled
his dirty face, displaying set of teeth
pearly white and as beautiful as nature
could form them. His large, lustrous,
sparkling black eyes caught those of the
cashier, and he said, "Say, mister, der
lame bloke what sells papers in de wagon
on der corner wants drink of ice water. y
AS the man who handles the cash
passed out the pail of water the juvenile
remarked, "T'anks, mister; you know
der kids awful lame and can't walk"
The New York newsboy is rough
slangy, harum scarum, devil-may-cart
and often mischievous individual, but
generally his heart is in the right place

Keene's Pipes.

A good deal has been written in vari-
GUS quarters with regard to the little
Elizabethan pipes in which the late
Charles Keene took such great delight.
1 cannot help thinking that the persist
ent smoking of these pipes must have
done no little injury to his health. The
pipes were SO short, they became so
charged with nicotine and he SO persist
emily smoked them at every opportunity
that l cannot help thinking he must
have absorbed large amount of poison
into his system.
No one, unless he had smoked one of
Keene's pipes, could have the least idea
of its strength. remember trying one
at his studio one evening, and though a
pretty tough tobbaconalian shall never
forget how my head was affected and
all the pains endured in consequence.
I had all the symptoms of suffering
from the effects of powerful narcotic
poison. London Graphic.

LET THE GRASS GROW.

Let the grass grow over your graves of sorrow
and sin and care;
Let the grass grow over your saddened shame
and your misery Of despair;
Let the grass grow over your long nursed woe
and the fear of that awful doubt;
Let the grass grow over the sin and the hate
that brought the trouble about.
Let the flowers grow over your grave Of folly
and crime and fears;
Let the flowers cover the CHASTITY past with its
beauty of better years;
Let the flowers cover the awful plan OF venge-
ance and thought Of wrong;
Let the flowers grow, let vengeance stay where
vengeance doth rightly belong.
Let darkness cover your grave, let the soft
years murmur by;
Let repentance break their loneliness with the
sad and bitter cry;
Let affection Irvine, and the virtues bloom
and cover the naked sod;
Let the grass grow over the grave, my child
and leave it alone with Godl

The jap swallowed the Snake.

A wonderful story reaches us from
Japan of a snake swallower who has
outdone all forerunners in the art. One
called Saito Tora-no-suke was one day
breaking up some land, when he came
upon snake three feet long. SEEKING
it in his hands he called out to his COM
panions that if they would give him four
dollars he would swallow the snake.
Although dollars are scarce in Japan it
is stated that the money was at once
subscribed, the onlookers not believing
that the bet would be won.
But, true to lis word, Saito put the
head of the creature into his mouth and
swallowed the whole three feet of snake
without difficulty. The punishment of
his temerity was swift and fell. While
his companions were gazing at him,
speeches. with horror and establishment,
he was seen to change color and fall to
the ground in great pain, and he died in
few minutes.-St. James Budget.

THAT MUD DEPOSIT
Where the River Was Stopped by the
Granite Dam.

Where the River Was Stopped by the
Granite Dam.
There was a world of foolish and
silly talk on the streets yesterday
caused by a local in yesterdays
STATESMAN to the effect that the late
numerous red rises in the river had
left a considerable deposit of mud
above the dam. That was certainly
to have been expected with a freshet
coming down on the work at it's pres
ent height, and means nothing
at all. When body of water
full of dirt, held in
suspension strikes a still body,
whether of water or solid, then de-
post follows as a matter of course.
With the dam at it's present. height,
no lake of any proportions has 6een
created and the first resistance Hood
meets is the dam and of course the
deposit is left just above it. But when
the dam is sixty feet high and the
lake thirty miles long, then flood
will meet resistance from a still body
of water thirty miles long and at the
head of this lake and for few miles
this SIDE the deposit will be found.
Over the whole bottom of the lake
a slight deposit may form as the years
roll on, but it will take centuries for
that main deposit at the head of the
lake to reach the dam. All scare talk
to the contrary is the veriest nonsense
and bosh, and is animated by the
enemies, not the friends, of the DAM

An Apparent Impossibility.

The phrase "squaring the circle" is an
other way of saying attempting an i'm
possibility" The allusion is to the
mathematical question whether circle
can be made which contains exactly the
same area as square, and the difficulty
is to find the precise ratio between the
diameter and the circumference of a
circle. Popularity - is 3.1459, etc., but
the numbers would go on to infnity.
This problem has given rise to an amount

Two Austinites File Applications Under

Within few days past Messrs. N.
J. Macarthur and John T. Smith have
filed with County Surveyor John
Wallace an application for survey
of the land lying on the north bank
of the Colorado river along the city
front and the sand beach reserves.
The tract on (which they desire to To-
cate under the scrap act is estimated
to contain about $50 acres, some
of which is very valuable property.
On looking over Surveyor Wallace's
books it was ascertained by the re-
porter that two similar applications
have been filed, the first on June ~,
1890, by o. G. Mensebach and which
was Withdrawn on July %, 1890. Two
days after on July 80, Mr.. F. g. Nor
ris filed his applications, but as the
survey was not made within the speci-
fed time, ninety days, the claim ran
out and was forfeited. What success
