The Careless American PeopIe.

The delays in delivering the electoral
returns of the states to the vice presi-
dent, and the shabby and imperfect con-
dition in which some of them make their
appearance, only illustrate how careless
the American people are about the con-
duct of their elections. The nation works
itself into a perspiration during a cam
paign, and the two parties are ready
apparently 70 shed each others blood.
But just as soon as the voting is done
with all excitement evaporates, and it is
hardly possible to center public attention
even on the most glazing frauds.
If some of. the efforts spent in cam
paigns were used in securing an honest
return of the vote, elections would re-
fleet more accurately the will of the
people. There does not appear to be
enough care to see ever that the forms
for electing a president are rightly OBJ
served. Verify the American people trust
a good deal to their common sense

Dress SIX irtS,

1t is generally conceded that the
crinoline craze has reach lei its height
and will soon die a n atural death. Its
influence is felt in the increased full
ness OF gowns; but here, too, the alb
surdity Of exaggerated types has quickly
brought about a reaction, their incon-
venience and discomfort for everyday
gowns being Immediately recognized
The latest Im%portations show skirts of
moderate width, with a graceful fare
at the bottom, where they measure not
more than four and a half. oftener but
four yards. A few have slight fullness
all around the waist, but most are
smoothly, though not tightly, fitted
across the front and over the hips. In
the back the f1llness is variously ar
ranged, guaged in fine plaits turning
towards the back, or in box-plaits.
They have an interlining Of crinoline,
muslin or of alpaca, from ten to eigh-
teen inches deep, or it the trimminf
reaches the knees, the interlinmg is
carried to the same depth. From "Re

The United States CapitoI.


The United States capitol at Wash
ington is one Of the most majestic build
ings in the world. 1t was first begun in
1898, when the north wing was founded.
This was finished in 1900. and the south
wing was begun in 1911. The building
was burned by the British in 1914, and
rebuilding did not begin until 1917. In
1851 the new extensions began, the house
of Representatives first occupying its pres
ent hall in 1857. the senate its present
quarters in 1859. The dome was CON
structed between 1855 and 1865. The
cost of the building has exceeded $780,
100000. The dome is BOT feet high and
1856 in diameter, contains 1000 tons Of
iron, arranged to move during atmos-
pheric changes like the unfolding Of q
lily.
The rotunda beneath is SO feet in diam
eter and 1870 feet high. The extreme

The St. Gothard Tunnel Dcthroned.

The great st. Gothard tunnel, which
was begun Oct. 1, 1872, and finished in
1880. is o. miles in length and cost $780, 40
per foot throughout. At present it is the
Titan Of all the worlds tunnels. "These
cannot last forever" however, and by
the end Of 1895 st. Gothard will be de
throned. the great Simplon tunnel. now
in curse of construction. coming in with
the title of Largest and longest tunnel
in the world" This new claimant fo1
Titanic honors is being built to supersede
the famous route of the Simplon," 8
road over the mountains which was con
structed by the first Napoleon.
The Simplon tunnel will be almost one
fourth longer than the now celebrated
st. Gothard, its total length from open
ing to opening being according to expert
calculations, 124 miles. In short, it is
almost exactly three miles longer than
St. Gothard. The old route Of the
Simplon," which will be practically
abandoned when the tunnel is com.
pleted, is about 50 miles in length. All
present it takes IL long hours toeross
the Simplon route. When the tunnel is
finished. less than a half hour will be
consumed in making the trip.-St. Louis

An Electric Road For brussels.

A scheme is well advanced for provid-
ing Brussels with an underground cleo
trio railway similar to the South London
line. The railway will have no fixed
terminus. but will be arranged similar
to the Inner Circle line, having II sta
tons at the most important points Of
the city. No locomotives will be en-
ployed, but each train will consist of
only n first and second class composite
boyle carriage, to carry 40 passengers,
with q compartment in front in which
the electric traction gear will be ar
ranged. It is proposed to run II such
cars in each direction and to work the
traffic by the automatic electric block
system, as adopted on the Liverpool
Electric railway. The lifts at each sta
ton will be operated by electric power.

CheaDer to Build a New Road,

The Pennsylvania railroad proposes to
shorten the distance between this city
and New York by constructing d cutoff
IS miles in length from New Brunswick
to a point on the outskirts of Jersey City.
The line was laid out three or four years
ago, and charters were procured cover
ing the route, and last week a license
was taken out for the construction of a
bridge over the Passaic river. The route
is almost a direct line and will avoid the
cities Of Railway. Elizabeth and Newark.
It will be used exclusively by express
trains, IN improved local service being
established for the convenience of trav-
elers to and from the cities mentioned.
The advantage of the new line consists
not so much in the shortening of the dis
lance, but in the fact that through travel
will not be interfered with by local
trains or municipal restrictions as to the
rate of speed in city limits. An enormous
number of local passenger trains are run
between Jersey City and Railway, and a
great many run through to New Bruins.
wick. Although the road is 4-tracked
all the distance the facilities are not ade-

to put in two more tracks it has been
decided to build an entirely new road for

it will be possible to reduce the running
time half an hour.-Philadelphia In
