Doctor Teele Dead.

DR.. w. w. Teele, the city veterinary
surgeon, and one of the first appointeeS Of
the PaSchal administration. died last
evening, at his late residence on Wood
bury avenue, of consumption. He was
one of the most popular members ofs his
profession in this city, and one of the most
indefatigable. Although a sufferer for
years from an incurable maady, he fought
it as long as he could, and was on his feet
and attending to his duties until a very
short time prior to his death. He will be
buried this evening.

NOT A PROFITABLE OUTLOOK
The Proposed Pan-American Rail
way Would be a Useless En-
terprise.

In considering this enterprise
from practical standpoint the
first problem is not "Can it be
built" but "Will it pay?" writes
Charles p. Neatman, South
American railroad engineer. in the
Engineering Magazine. An in
spectiOn Of the map of North and
South America will make it ap-
pear doubtful that it will ever paw
as a through freight and passenger
route, for at its best it will COM
pete 1000 miles with a route which
has been built since the creation.
and has not had one cent spent on
it for repairs. Over it a ton of
freight from South America comes
today at the rate of less than a
half-cent per mile, or about half
the average railroad rate. These
may be called monopoly prices, for
for competition thus far has been
out of the question.
AS the only part of the United
States which would be as near to
South America by rails as by a
sea route is the Rocky-mOuntain
region, and as that is in no urgent
need of rail connection with the
tropics, we may say that as a
means of saving distance, the Pam
American railroad would be a fail
ure. AS cheaper line for traffic
it would hardly be a success. In
saving time it might compete in
the West, for the carriage of pas
sengers, mail and express.
| AtpreSent the trade of the United
| States with South America is made
at the economical rate of ten miles
| per hour, but if necessary the
speed could be increased to that Of
| the transatlantic steamers, 225
miles per hour, and at least 1900
miles of the railway would do we'll
to average that rate of speed with
its fastest trains. The most south
erly point with which we have a
rail connection is Jojutla, 1873 miles
south of the City of Mexico. From
this point to Carthagena, via the
IsthmuS, the distance is 1900 miles
through sparsely settled country
At least 300 miles of the line, al
the ISthmus, would be through a
country which is entirely unsettled
except where the Panama railroad
crosses it, and where in one or two
places on the coast, there are few
fishermen's huts. In the mountain
ranges in the interior are some
tribes of savage Indians, but ne
civilized beings. The GOrdiar
knot of the Pan American
railroad problem lies in thai
crooked lSthmuS of Panama and
the country Immediately south o
it. At present it is certain that il
the road were built through the
entire extent of the proposed line
no company or syndicate on earth
would maintain it for the traffic
which might pass over it. That
tropical country is too sparsely
settled, the people have too little
need for eXertiOn, and the govern
ments are too unstable to justify
the risk of capital in any sucl
venture.

feet of the wise mar cried out;

"If she has fallen into the public well, the

"But we have investigated, and she is not
there"
'Then If she has lost herself on the des-
ert, she may find and bring home to you an
estray camel"
1--WE have searched the desert far and
wide, but no trace of her can be found"
"Ah, well. She may have gone down to
the seashore to be alone with her thoughts.
If so, she will bring home salt and shells,
and you will be the richer"
