post customers for the shop. There are
signs that not only are the rum dens OF
theIcity, but also that the country trade
is supplied at the city's health empo-
rum.
Here is the record for the last four
days.
On Saturday. SOD men, women and
children resorted to the agency; on Mon
day their number was Ass; on Tuesday
311; and yesterday 376. In all this is
total of 1896 customers in four days. At
this rate, the Ingraham administration
could pass the whole population of Port
land through the institution in three
months.
The sales at the Agency are noticeably
large just at election time, when the
'boys' are to be enthused for the bene-
fit of the local Democratic machine.
Thus, for the month of March just
past, the total of the sales was $7543. In
August, before the September election,
they were also large.
1t should also be borne in mind that
MI. Ingraham came into power in 1892,
on the cry that the Republicans were
making rum shop of the agency. Hav-

Five years ago on hoard ship our three boys

WashingtOn's Cabin.

There are few buildings that attract
the admirers of Washington that have
more Of interest in them than a decaying
cabin which stands alone in an old pas
ture field IA half mile from Berryville, in
the beautiful Shenandoah valley of Vir-
gilia.
The old cabin was the home of Wash
ington when he was a surveyor. He
came here direct from the maternal roof
to begin the arduous and at the time
dangerous work Of surveying the lands
of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
all the northern part of Virginia under
the kings patent, The work was ardu-
ous because of the physical aspect Of the
country, then dense wilderness, and
dangerous because of the character of
the inhabitants, who were principally
Indians or scarcely less wild trappers or
squatters upon his lordship's domain.
Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because of his belief in the
youths ability to cope with these ele-
ments early in 174s, just after the com.
pletion of his sixteenth year, his only
companion being George William Fair
fax, nephew Of old Lord Thomas.

ing or found it already IN place history
does not state, but well authenticated

keeper had shown us everything and ev-

dining room, the tiny sleeping apart

pencil with scenes from the "Prodigal

tendant called to me:
"Look yonder."
There was little girl, the daughter OF
an official of the prison, surrounded by
three men in stripes. How they kissed
her innocent face and almost worshiped
her as she stood among them with the
sunlight playing around her slender
form!
"Strange thing, sir, but these fellows
do so love children!" said the keeper.
IF we only let them play where the
prisoners can see them, they will watch
them by the hour and spend days in
making little toys for them. Ay," CON

That the speed of passenger trains in
this country is destined to rapidly in
crease in the near future seems certain.
Thereis is nothing in railroading that rem
ders such large and quick returns to the
management as catering to the wants
and desires Of the travelling public.
Nothing SO fully exemplities this as the
immense change that has taken place in
the past five years in the equipment Of
through express trains from the seaboard
to the west and southwest.
The luxury and comfort that can to-
day be obtained on one of the many
limited trains passing over any of the
great trunk lines is in strong contrast
to what was furnished five or six years
ago, and it would seem that there was
not much room for further improvement
in that direction. What the public are
now seeking, and what will certainly be
furnished, is fast time; and that this is
appreciated by railroad managers is well
evidenced by the large sums that are
now being spent to perfect the roadways
of the more important lines. -Scribner's

The czar Of Russia shows undoubted
sagacity in adopting the best physical
means to hold together his vast empire.
He has pushed the transcaspian military
railway southeastward until il has al
most reached the frontiers of British In
dia and China, the two powers most
likely to dispute with him the acquisition
Of further dominion in Central Asia.
Having thus assured the safety of the
Russian position in the southeast, he has
undertaken more stupendous work in
beginning the construction Of an un-
broken line Of railway to connect Eu-
ropean Russia with port on the Pacific
ocean. The whole length Of the Asiatic
or main Siberian line is 4,S00 miles.
The estimated COSTS 5000, 100000. The
work, which is now progressing from
both ends toward the center, is to be
completed in about 10 years. There will
then be a stretch Of railway, all located
upon Russian territory, about 5000 miles
in length, holding European Russia and
Asiatic Russia firmly together with {
continuous band Of steel. Until the pro
posed railway running north and soutl
to connect the two Americas shall hay,
been built there will be nothing on eartl
to rival this great stretch Of eastern anS
western railway across the Russian EN-
