Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-03-01

There were 1886 locomotives en-
gagged in hauling passengers and
freight over the railways of this coun-
try last year, s,S4S in hauling pas
senger trains alone. To transport the
passenger traffic of the country 2s,s75
cars were in operation, while for the
conveyance of freight nearly million
cars were required. A striking COM
prehension of these facts is had in con-
sidering that the locomotives, placed
end to end, would make train 357
miles long, while the freight cars,
marshaled on a single track, would
make a train 7,O2S miles long-that is,
they would make single train of cars
reaching across the continent and
back, and back again as far west as

most eminent Chicago pulpit orators.
Mr.. Gunsaulus was born in Chester,
Morrow county, o., on New Years
day of 1856. He received his education
in the Ohio Wesleyan university, Della
ware, o., and was graduated in 1875.
He began preaching in Chillicothe, o.,
and has been successfully and success
fully pastor of churches in that place;
in Columbus, o.; Newtonville, Mass.
Baltimore, and finally of Plymouth
church in Chicago, where for seven
years he has filled the pulpit. A man
of books as well as of sermons, in 1881
he printed "The TRANSPORTATION of
Christi" in 1891 monk and Knight"
appeared from his pen to form part
of the library of many cultured
Christian; and only last year "Phidias
and Other Poems appeared to keep
his prose works delightful company.
December /, 1892, he was elected presi-
dent of Armour institute, and it is
hard to tell which in time to come
shall be the greater-his fame as
preacher, as author or as educator.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

LUCKY " BALDWIN.

usual coed luck, however, he got the
best of them and soon built up for
tune estimated at $40, 900, 900. The
hotel which Baldwin built in San Fran
cisco in the latter part of the 7os gave
him additional fame, for it was the
finest west of the Mississippi and at
once became very popular. 1t was
called the Baldwin and included thea
ter, the whole, including furniture,
costing upward of S3,000,00
Baldwin put "Tom" Mcguire, a vet
eran California manager, in charge of
the theater, but in this venture his
customary good luck seemed TO fail
him, and he lost great sums in keeping
it up. He put up petroleum gas works
for the exclusive use of the hotel and
theater, and they blew up, killing one
or two and injuring others. He rebuilt
them, although it took him months to
get the necessary permit from the au-
thorities, and they We're erected in the
face of protests of the entire popula-
ton.
In the San Gabriel valley, about
twenty miles from Los Angeles, Bald
win has an estate of $4,000 acres. The
land is wonderfully rich, and in all is
valued at SlO,OOO,OOO. 1t is here that
he bred, raised and trained the horses
that carried his name and colors to
fame. The horses, some of which are
valued at from S25 900 to $4,000 each,
live in plain wood box stalls Is feet
square. Near the stables is an excel
lent mile race track. The king of the
Baldwin stables is the Emperor of Nor
folk, that cleared his owner SO, 900 in
one year
In person Baldwin is small and
spare and is extremely nervous. He
has wrin<led face and usually wears
a full beard. He always dresses in
severe black and looks as little like
what his reputation pictures him as
could well be imagined. He has had
three wives, and when the third one
appeared with him at Saratoga several
years ago she created quite a sensa-
tion. She was only four feet six inches
in height, but was well formed and
pretty.
Nineteen years old at the time, she
looked more like girl of IL and
dressed like one. Baldwin was then
more than 60 years old and a grand
father. He is now 20.

Retirement from the Turf OF "Lucky"
Baldwin, the Famous Bonanza
Ktng-How He Acquired His
Unique SobrIquet.

| One of the most picturesque figures
ever seen on the American turf disap-
peared from sporting circles when L.
]. (''Luclty") Baldwin retired recently.
For years the maltese cross of scarlet
on the black jacket has been familiar
on race courses, and wherever the rum
ming horse has been known the name
of Lucky" Baldwin has been familiar.
Mr.. Baldwin spent his boyhood on his
fathers farm in Indiana, and then
drifted westward. After twenty-five
years of trial at various pursuits he
finally landed in the bonanza district
of Nevada, where he earned his sobri-

miner, delving in the depths of the
Comstock for his daily bread, when,

kept on sinking his shaft until, says
the New York Morning journal, he
woke up one morning with millions in
sight Then the miners called him
Lucky Baldwin. His career there
after was remarkable, for he seemed

vinced that unblushing audacity alone
could conceive and carry into execu-

The ruling powers of Utah up to date
have been the representatives of the
United States government and the
presidency of the Mormon church. For
three decades these opposing powers
have held separate sway, waging war
upon each other until in the common
cause of statehood they have united.
Persons and objects long associated
with the territorial regime will soon
pass away before the new order of
things.
The building used for the executive
mansion for six years is remarkable for

received the salary of $4,000 year.
