The Jellyby Tribe.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
a woman of many engagements
boasts that she spends one hour
every day with her children, and
that this is all she can possibly
find time for. What is one hour
out of a whole day? There are
many families all through the city
where children rise in the morning,
eat their breakfasts and go Off to
school without one word from the
mother, who is sleeping in a well
guarded attempt to make up for
the late hours the night BEFORE
There are servants to see that the
children are we'll fed and warmly
attired, but such children can
never have the sweet memories of
home that those who have depart
ed for school with a goOd-by kiss
and a word of interest in the days
lessons will have.
"Don't bother me-" That is the
too frequent reprimapd of the
mother who has committee meet
lngS, charity organizations, inter-
views and other matters foreign to
home comfort on hand. A student
of social tendencies, who has no
darlings Of her own and who, per-
haps, on this account appreciates
their worth all the more, tells of a
little incident which affected her
deeply. She was at the house Of a
friend who was exceedingly preOc-
cupied with some social scheme.
Her little son, full of pride in
some drawing he had made,
ran up to his mother to show it,
only to be repulsed with "DOn't
bother me-" He went to Auntie,
who took him up and talked with
delight of his sketch. AS he went
away, he was heard to mutter:
"Auntie, she likes it; mamma, she
don't care" AS the auntie said, q"
always pity a child whose mother
doesn't care"

Rapid Growth of the Railroads.

In review of the last census, of
the progress of the decade just
ended, r.. II. EdmOnds says, in the
Engineering Magazine: Railroad
construction progressed rapidly
during the decade. 1t is difficult
to realize that whereas we now
have 10000 miles in operation we
had only 5000 miles in 1850. At
the end Of 1890 we had 1863, 1CO
miles-a gain of 1900 during the
decade,Or about SOper cent. Thirty
leading roads, which operated 81,
800 miles of track in 1880 and haul
ed 96,OOO,OOO tons of freight, in 1890
operated 76,4OO miles and hauled
262, 100000 tons. The number of
passengers carried by thpS" roads
increased from 5S,OOO,OOO to 1884,
100000. The number of lOCOmO-
tiVos on all the roads in the United
States increased from 1900 in
1850 to %, POO in 1880, and the num-
Der of pasSengcr-frcight- and bag
gage-CarS from 100000 to I,O92,OOO.
The capital invested in railroads
as represented by bonds and capt.
tai stock was a little less than
-, 1000 in 1880, and a little
less than SlO,OOO,OOO in 1890.

Our Recklessness of Life.

Railway never would have been
permitted to exist in England,
writes Mr.. William VI. AcwOrth in
the Engineering Magazine, had
they been as reckless Of human
life and as careless Of the incOn-
VenienCe they inflicted on indiVi-
duals, as American RAILWAYS have
been and to great extent still are.
An Englishman can only stare
with establishment, when he sees
for the first time trains running
through crowded streets Of cities
such as New York and Chicago. 81
have a vivid recollection" he saws.
"Of watching long trains of freight
cars running down the Tenth ave
nue., in New York, to the New
York Ccntral's depot, in one Of the
busiest parts of the city. As |
looked, | remembered that our
most powerful company, the Lon
don and Northwestern, tried in
vain for three years to obtain per-
mission to move one truck at a
time by horse power, across a mar
row street in a very quiet part OF
London, in order to connect togeth.
er two different parts of the com.
pans own property"

Wonderful Progress in Electricity.

Wonderful Progress in Electricity.
In reviewing the marvellous pro-
greSS Of industry in the United
States during the last decade,R II.
EdmOndS says in the Engineering
Magazine: In the decade under
review new industry of vast mag
nitude was created. Twelve years
ago electricity as applied to street
cars, for power purposes Of all
kinds, for house and street illumi-
nation was new thing. In fact
electric street railroads have only
been in successful operation about
half of that time. The electrical age
was practically just commencing
and the aggregate capital invested
outside of telegraphy, was small.
Now almost every town of any
size has its electric railroad, streets
everywhere are being lighted by
electricity. and electricity furnish
power for factories, to run eleva-
tors and for many other purposes ;
still we have scarcely seen the be-
ginning of electrical development.
Already, however, the capital in
vested in all branches of this in
dustry, and nearly all invested
since 1880, is estimated at SSO,OOO,-

Would the Pan-American Road Payf

1t is the opinion of Charles p.
Geatman, a railroad engineer in the
Republic of Colombia, expressed in
the Engineering Magazine, that the
proposed Pan-American railway
could never be made to pay. To
give an idea of the probable cost
Of a railroad through this country,
he says we can take the Panama
railroad as a fair example. Its AZ
miles of road cost SS,OO0,0 OO,-Or
$4,000 per mile. At the same rate
this 300 miles of road would cost
SOB, 100000. The question naturally
arise: GLOW does the Panama
railroad pay such high divi-
dendS?" and the answer is, sim
ply by charging enormous rates.
y tirSt-class passenger who crosses
the Isthmus pays $25 in United
States gold for his ride of II miles,
The building of that road made but
little difference in the amount of
freight carried in vessels around
Cape Horn. Today its main traffic
is in its passenger, mail, and eX-
press service, and the carrying of
the highest class of freight. This
road was built by American capt.
tai and under American manage
ment, and the records of South
American roads show that we can
build roads there for less than half
what the English spend on them

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.


No object in our streets de.
tracts so much from the appear.
,ance of things as the forest of un.
calmly poles erected to carry cleo.
{ trio wires. No granting privileges
and franchises for the erection OF
! these notes no attention has been
given to this nuisance.
The poles were considered a me-
entity and no matter how narrow
the streets or how scanty the side
walks no heed has been given to
the convenience or safety Of the
public.
Overhead wires have become an
intOlerable nuisance in all large
cities. In some cities they have
been ordered under ground; in
others the companies have been
taxed for each pole an annual
rental.
The Western Union Telegraph
company has fought this tax levied
by the cities of st. Louis and Phila-
delphia. In the st. Louis case the
supreme court of the United States
has recently decided in favor of the
city, and awarded a judgment
amounting to $4,000 for rental of
poles. The decision is far reaching
as to the perfect control of the city
over its streets.
The time has arrived in our city
when this subject should command
the attention of our city council.
There is no sense in our city giving
away valuable privileges that in
convenience the public, if not en-
danger life and property. Every
electric wire pole should be taxed
for the benefit of the city.

THE RoAsT-pucK CASE.
Justice Bartholomew Decides Against

Justice Bartholomew Decides Against
Mrs. Kavanaugh.
The case of Cobb VS.. Kavanaugh.
which has been popularly designated the
"roast-duck" case, was finally deter
mined by Justice Bartholomew yester-
day morning.
Mr.. Cobb, liveiyman, and his wife
took rooms and board at the Livingston
on Hill street, conducted by Mrs. Kava-
naugh. They left in the middle OF the
month not satisfied with the place.
The landlady asked them the rent for
the full month, and they offered to pay
up to the time they left. $45, which was
refused.
When they attempted to go away Mrs.
Kavanaugh seized their personal effects,
and they were replevined. 1t was to de-
termine the rights of the parties that
Justice Bartholomew listened to the evil
dence of some IL witnesses, and learned
more about roast duck and the profess
sion of running boarding house than
he had ever known before.
After turning the matter over for q
day or two the court, with much COM
mon sense, concluded that Mrs. Kava-
naugh had been too previous in her &C.
tions. He gave Judgment for Mr.. Cobb
for the possession of his goods and chat
tells or their value, 500, for $12 dam
ages and costs. The costs in the'caee
amounted to $45.
