America Ahead,

Our Yankee locomotive builders
have gained a signal victory in the
Argentine Republic. The department
of engineers of Buenos Ayres, in an
official report, affirms the superiority
of American over English locomotives
and railway cars in point of general
efficiency and convenience. Not only
are American engines and cars less ex-
pensive at the outset, but their dur
ability makes it possible to maintain
them at less cost than European roll,
ing stock. This seems to be the uni.
versal experience of foreigners who
have had the opportunity to make
comparisons, We sent one hundred
and ninety-three locomotives to Brazil
in the past two years, eighty-six tc
Cuba, thirty-four to Mexico and TWEEN,
ty-three to Chilli. Three more have
just been sent to Belgium, two to Swe
den and six to Japan. The new rail
way from Jaffa to Jerusalem is
equipped with American motive power

NOW FOR THE NEW YORK
The New Cruiser OFF for Her
Government Trial.
cHEERED AS SHE LEAVES CRAMPS

Great Things Are Expected of the Big
Addition to Our Navy-Expected to
Make Over the Required FL Knots
Where the Trial is to Take Place.
PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-All was hustle
and activity in the Cramps shipyarls this
morning when shortly after II o'clock the
new cruiser New York left her dock, and
guided by two tugs proceeded on her way
down the river to the proving grounds.
AS the lines We're Gu st loose the workmen,
who were all assembled, sent up a rousing
cheer for the great ship, in which not only
those who saw her grow day by day but
also the whole country is so greatly inter
ested.
The cruiser is ready for the trial trip
which is to determine her capabilities as
war ship and her right to be classed as the
fastest cruiser of the United States navy.
She will doubtless prove herself triumph
of American ship building and credit to
the great name of the Cramps, for the New
York'3 lines were made for speed and
strength, her twin screws were fashioned
to make her a second Campania in speed,
and engines, parts of which are as deli
cately adjusted as a watch movement,
OAAO
speed
A private trial has already proved the
New York's fieetness and seagoing quail
ties to the satisfaction of her builders, and
the trial which will now take place is
solely for the benefit of the Government,
which is ably represented aboard by a
number of expert naval officers who con-
stitute board of Government inspection.
1t depends upon the boards findings
whether or not the New York will become
| an addition to the proud fleet of white
war ships.
| Two weeks provisions have been placed
aboard, and if foggy or bad weather is en-
countered the trial trip will be drawn ou
to the limit. The coal bunkers have beel
| filled with we'll screened fuel.
The vessel Is manned by detail of 81
] marines, from the Navy Yard. Her com
| plement of firemen will be a mixture O
landsmen and seamen, as it was found al
| the last moment that sufficient number
of capable men could not be obtained.
The course over which the trial will be
made has been staked ont. The first rang'
will be the line formed by a beacon on TIN
Dry Salvages, near Cape Ann, and
beacon on Andrews Point, established
by trangulation from known points in tn
vicinity. The course is a quadrangula
one of 100 miles. Over this the New Yorl
will steam thrice. The object of tn
square course is to provide against tn
cruiser being favored by tides or currents
TWAS originally intended to have TIL
trial on Long Island sound, but the nav;
experts profited by the experience of til

doned and the deeper water off the coa'

COOPERATIVE stores have been on
trial in Great Britain for many years;
at first with large measure of success,
but recently, owning to moro intelli-
gent competition on the part of nom
cooperative establishments they are
not rs successful as formerly, and are
gradually going out of existence. Lo-
cal traders are able tosell better goods
at lower prices, and, of course, the for
mer customers of the cooperatives are
not willing to patronize the coopera-
tive stores, to which they have been
obliged TO contribute for tho privilege
of ndfnlEHion.

DELAWARE has curious collection of
old surnames. There is family of
Colts in Kent county. The Peppers
and Mustards have long lived neigh
bors in Sussex, and there are Peaches
in Newcastle county, inauspiciously
settled north of the peach belt. One
man named his three sons for the sew
cral counties of the state, and Della
ware is an occasional Christian name.
A girl whose name was Leonora Mis-
souri, Cannon provoked from q stranger

TIE southern negro, under the influ-
ence of freedom and no longer in fear
of the ''paterollers," is an inveterate
night wandercr and is to be met on the
big road, as he calls the public high
way, at all hours of the night. The
''song and oar of Adria's gondolier,' ~
celebrated by Byron, can hardly sur
pass in sweetness the charm of a
negro chorus heard mile or more
away at midnight as the singers trudge
along the moonlit highway. 1t is al
ways a chorus, for the superstition Of
| the negro makes him seek companion
in his night wanderings.

DURING the last few years Prof. Bar
nard, of the Lick observatory, has been
engaged in photographing the Milky
way. When the plates are finished,
which will not be for three years, it is
expected that the facts revealed by
them will revolutionize the old con-
ceptions of this remarkable phenome-
non. The text books declare that the
Milky way probably contains twenty
million suns, but Prof Barnard esti-
mates that the camera will record the
presence of ut least five hundred mil,
lion, with the certainty that there
must be a still larger number which
are not visible.

Canadian visitor, whose opinion is

one-half of the people of Canada would
move to the United States if they could
dispose of their property at a reason

THE trial of Lizzie Borden for the
murder Of. her father and stepmother
will create as much interest as the Har-
ris and Buchanan cases. The prisoner
has been in Jail nearly year awaiting
arraignment. 1t will be strange if her
long imprisonment, together with the
circumstantial character of the evidence
against her, has not prejudiced the pub
lie in her favor. The crime with which
she is charged is one of unusual horror.
The interests of justice are not sub
served in such cases by delays that only
tend to weaken the recollection of the
enormity of the offense. On the other
hand it is a gross wrong to the accused,
where guilt is not positive, to let a
proper custody of the person take the
form of actual punishment.
