the place Of a steam engine ON a rail-
road for pulling either passenger or baggage
cars The Baltimore Tunnel line is really
the first inroad the electric locomotive has
made upon main lines, and this was brought
about because 1t was found almost imp0sSi-
BILE to yentiate the tunnel on occOunt of the
smoke generated by the steam locomotives.
The electric tramWay5 In use throughout
the country demonstrate pretty we'll the
advantages and possibilities of electricity as
motive power. Almost without exception
they are operated by current supplied TO
the cars from central station through an
overhead line. From the very nature of
the system then the principal causes of
disaster on steam roads could be avoided
Collisions would be impossible except
on long down grades, because the road
can be so arranged that the part Of the
line Immediately preceding and follow
ing train would not be supplied with cur
rent. Explosions of boilers, fires started
from sparks from a locomotive and the
breaking OF bridges or derailment caused
by the hammering Of the reciprocatng parts
OF the locomotive could not happen in an
electric engine. because it has no boilers. no
fires and no reeiprocating parts. In addition
al electric locomotive IS cheapeT TO construct
and does not require expensive skilled oper-
ators to manage 1t. These advantages
and the questions OF comfort, speed
ana ease in travelling, appeal more strongly
outlay of money required Of railroad corpOr-
atiOns in changing the entire system and
method OF locOmOtiOn of their rolling stock.
In the recent rapid long distance runs
from New \ YOrk to Chicago it was demon
stIated and acknowledged by engineers that
50 miles an hour was the limit of speed of
the modern style of steam locomotive.
Cars could be run over the Toadbed at
greater rate without danger, but the limit
Of steam propulsion was reached.
Electric engines have been run on expert
mental tracks up TO 60 miles an hour, but
no practical application of electric motive
force has gone much above the ordinary
rate OF the electric tramwRy, which is gen.
orally the low limit OF 10 miles an hour
No one doubts the ability of the moving
parts OF an electric engine TO run faster
than those OF steam locomotive,
even though il is yet improved by prac-
teal application. For these reasons rail-
road magnates are turning their attention
20 the different electric systems Of locomo-
tiOD and adopting them in a slow and eau
tious way. That they believe in them is
evidenced by the action oil the Baltimore
Belt line.

A SLUGGISH STREAM.
1t Gets FOUL and Poisonous Unless 1t Is
Kept Constantly Flowing.

At this season OF the year people feel more or less
weak run down, wearied and depressed. 1t has
been commonly supposed that 1t is due to impuri-
ties Of the blood, and that only by purifying the
blood good health be secured. Is this true
Let us see. The blood gets impure because it is
sluggish. How does a stream get impure. with
green scum and poisons the top? Simply be-
cause it DOESN'T A running stream is not i'm
pure, but stagnant or sluggish stream always is.
If. therefore, you would keep your blood pure keep
1t moving, keep it throbblng. The moment IL be-
gins be sluggish, 1t will begin to be impure ana
you win feel the effects in tired weak feelings
depressed emotions, and thousand and one trou-
bles, which always follow. The proper way to
keep the blood stirring by the OF pure stim-
uIaBt in moderation Stimulate it gently, and t
will keep in constant healthy motion, and good
health viii follow There is but one way In which this
be done and that is by the of the pures and
best stimulaat you can fnd preferably whisky. and
there Is hut one abaoiutely pure medicinal whisky
known to the world. ana that is Duffy's Pure Malt
Scientists admit this. the doctors ali confirm it. 1t
is more generally used to-day than any other
whisky which the world has ever seen. and 1t is
popular only through its merit. Do not let any
grocer druggist deceive you by saying they have
something "just good" "something they can
recommend" etc When any dealer says this he has
interested motive, which usually is to sell you
something cheap and inferior on which he
make more money. DO not be so deceived.

CONVINCING EVIDENCE.
1t Is Given by Dog in a New York
Police Court.


New York Sun, May /.
A large and handsome shepherd dog was
towed into Jefferson Market Court at the
end of stout rope by Policeman Lee of the
West Thirty-seventh street station yester-
day morning. The dogs ears dropped dole
fully and his whole aspect was that OF one
who had found lite not worth living until
he caught sight of thick-set man sitting on
the witness-stand. There was joyful
bark. quick jump and the dog and man
were considerably mixed up for a few
moments, while Policeman Lee examined
his hands 10 see how much skin had been
taken off by the rope as 1t slid through
them, 1t needed no witness to convince
the court that the dog and the thick-set man
belonged to each other.
The man was Henry Il. GeIsman, a
butcher at 5G0 Eighth avenue. He told
Justice Divyer that on Tuesday last he had
lost his dog. About o'clock yesterday
morning he saw Edward Curry, a plumber
living at 434 West Thirty-eighth street.
walking up Eighth avenue leading the lost
dog by an inch rope. Geisman demanded
the dog, but didn't git him, and fight took
place, in which the dog distinguished him
self by tearing away that part OF Curry's
clothing contiguous TO his pistol pocket and
swallowing the same, Policeman Lee took
Curry and the dog to the station-hOuse. In

A SPRING SNAKE STORY.
An Old Soldiers Encounter with
Double Headed Reptile.

New York Sun.
i've seen good many d-looking snakes
and other reptiles in my time" said 5. c.
Rose of Galena, H., 'but the moccasin
snake that Captain He'll of our place killed
last summer made the shivers run a little
colder up and down my spine than anything
ever did before, although it was dead when
i saw It, Captain He'll and some friends
were fishing two or three miles below
Galena. He had just landed a big
black bass and was preparing to make
another cast when, less than a rod below
him he saw, as lie supposed, two big moe
casns stretched out in the sun, lying close
together. Tney lay in front Of decayed
stump in the hollow of which they evil
IDENTIFY had their home. The snakes were
so large and their proximity so singular,
that the captain stepped cautiously forward
TO get q closer view OF them. When within
three feet OF them the snakes raised their
heads at the same time. From each mouth
dashed q fiery tongue, and a loud hiss issued
from both. To bis utter amaZement the
captain discovered that only one snake was
there and that twas most hideous thing
with two heads Captain He'll stepped
back, and the serpent darted rapidly after
him.
1.-The captain is an old soldier and he had
faced many dangers during the war, but he
quailed before this frightful thing. The
snake rushed fercely forward. and but for
the fact that CAPTAIN He'll had his revolver
and is an unerring shot, he would surely
have fallen a victim to the venomOus rep
tile, so horribly equipped. Drawing his
weapon he fired twice in rapid succession.
Each shot was effective and the double
headed monster fell writhing at Captain
Heils feet, both bullets having passed
through its body. The body, exclusive of
the two heads and neeks, was FIVE feet two
inches long and the circumference of the
thickest part of the body was nine and
half inches. The necks were independent
of each other and forked like letter Y
from the body. Each was four inches long,
the triangular heads being two inches wide
at the base and nearly two inches long.
