DANGEROUS RAILROADING
Freight Trains on the New England
Road Are Now Double-Enders.

Freight Trains on the New England
Road Are Now Double-Enders.
The New England road has recently
adopted a plan for doubling up its freight
trains. which is considered by the Hart
ford Courant dangerous way of running
them. Two freight trains are coupled to-
gether, but instead of having both engines
at the head, one is attached to the rear
and pushes for ali it is worth, while the
head engine pulls with the same energy.
In going up a long grade the liability Of
the train breaking in two is not very great,
but once over the top of the grade with
the head engine pulling down the hill the
danger of slack is greatly increased. Then
the train breaks in two and pile-up is
liable to follow. On the west end of the
New England road the grades are many,
up and down, and with a big mogul at
each end of long train the danger of a
smash-up is increased.
Another matter for serious consideration
is the lack of efficient means for signaling
from one end of long train to the other.
If the head engineer, for any reason,
needs to whistle down brakes, the tail
engineer is likely to continue with steam
on for some distance. This is especially
the case in going around short curves.
The head engineer may want to stop the
train at once, while the tail-ender will
keep pushing till he brings up in a heap.

PRECIosA, LA REGALONCITA AND GRACIosA.
Kan" La Regaloncita plays Cupid with
wonderful success, and the two younger
children make poses that are very perfect
pictures indeed.
La Regaloncita, who now is only eight
years of age, gave evidence of her ability
when scarcely more than An infant. Since
then she has been trained and developed by
her talented mother, Mrs. A. G. Ever,
alone. The child's whole heart is in her
work. These three tots are children of
genius. In reply to question, What do
you mean to do when you grow up?" Re
galoncita replied, 'Be an actress and play
always sad parts" The comic seems to
have little place in her nature. It is all in
tensity, and even now she is full of force.
Dancing their mother considers only a
thing of the time and will not be continued
when the children are grown. She wisely
claims that the exercise is natural to chill
dren, but becomes a strain to maturer
years.
Every morning the children sleep till 10,
then have breakfast and their lessons, for
even wee Preciosa knows her letters in
Spanish and in English and is learning to
read. Regaloncita writes a wonderful
hand and is quite an accomplished little
woman apart from her theatrical success.
After lessons they are free to play till s,
when they all take a two hours nap and
are bright and fresh for the evenings work.
Mrs. Ever accompanies them wherever
they go and is herself their caretaker.
At home they are simple, merry children,
like any other healthy little girls, and If
their play is oftener theater than house it
is only because we each of us reproduce
the thing we know. They are very devoted
sisters, and together with the wee brother
of make as happy group as any one
would wish to know.
They have wonderful powers Of imita-
ton, which are Of course in part result Of
the training, and making brownies" is a
favorite diversion.
The first triumph that Regaloncita made
was in the scene from king John" when
Prince Arthur begs that his eyes be spared,
and the fact is in itself proof of the child's
wonderful dramatic instinct. At the time
she spoke little English and learned the
lines only from her mother word by word.
The meaning was translated for her into
Spanish, but the beautiful words them
selves only conveyed q sense of sound.
The children are granddaughters of the
late Rev. DR.. Ever. Their mother married
a cousin of the same name, but having a
South American mother, and 1t is from
their paternai grandmother that they In
herit their Spanish beauty.

CONDENSED SPORTING CHAT.

Now that the Corbett incident has blown
over in baseball circles some one suggests
that Manager Ward of New York hire Pro
fessor Holtum, the cannon ball catcher, to
handle Amos Rusie,s 1894 curves.
DIR. Jay Seaver, medical director of the
Yale gymnasium. has decided by careful
measurements that rowing enlarges the
heads of the college oarsmen. Any man
who has ever had anything to do with the
members of a champion crew will expert
ence no surprise when he hears of DR.. Sea-
ver's statement.
The wife of Petty, the champion pistol
shot of America, is also clever shot. One
day not long ago, when she was not feeling
very well, she defeated her husband in a
shotgun contest, killing 20 out of 20 clay
pigeons.
A Buffalo horseman has named three of
his colts as follows: Little Pumpkins, Some
Pumpkins and Lord Pumpkin. He ought
to name a fourth one Cheese to go with
them.
The easy defeat of Joe Goddard by Harry
Laing of New Zealand recently is another
line on Ed Smiths chances against Corbett,
1t proves that Goddards defeat by Smith
did not necessarily place the Denverite
among the world bcaters.

Direct Legislation.

Resolved, That we demand di-
rect legislation in state and nation,
by which on petition of a certain
percentage of the voters, measures
must be submitted to the people
for adoption or rejection; thus re-
storing the principles of democracy
through a government by the peo-
pie, instead Of by monopolies and
trusts, and preventing the defeat or
delay of reform legislation by cor
rupt or cowardly legislators"
The above paragraph will proba-
bly, form part of the next Demo-
cratic state platform, and represents
in brief the basic principle of a true
democratic government. It COM
mends itself in that it does away
with cowardly subterfuges of leg
islators and subserviences to the
monopolistic powers. II leaves no
open way to thwart the peoples
will. A senate of obstructionists
could not then defy the plainly ex-
pressed need Of the popular masses,
for to them they would owe alleg-
lance, and not to the money-mas-
tiers. Political commissions would
be unknown, and the party Of all

Cost of the Coal Strike.

II is estimated that the number
of men engaged in the recent coal
strike was considerably over 100,-
600; that during the time they
were laid off from work they lost in
wages about s12,OOO,OOO, and that
the total loss, to the miners them
selves, to the several states involv-
ed, owing to military expenditures;
to the railroad companies and others
in the destruction of property, to
the purchasers of coal at advanced
prices, and to mine-owners, not all
of whom were heavy losers, will not
fall short of $20,0O0,0OO. The
strike was the greatest in magnitude
of area and the costliest in dollars
and cents on record in this country

How it is Done.

As an illustration of the man.
ner employed by Senators at Wash.
ington in 'killing" time on the tar.
if bill, the following, from the St
Louis Republic, is a fair sample.
This speech" of Mr.. Quay, here re-
ferred to, made 100 solid columns
of the Congressional Record:
The Senate completed the wooden
schedule Of the tariff bill Saturday.
It was slow and tiresome work
The Republicans filibustered as
usual, and the time-killing process
called debate" was played for all
it was worth. There were several
roll calls during the day, but the
Democrats had a good substantial
majority each time. PETER, Kyle
and Allen acted with the Demo-
Gratis as a general rule, and the ma
jorities ranged from 8 to 8. Quay
delivered another section of his
speech-the tenth section, by the
way, of this remarkable serial-and
Dolph, as usual, contributed his
quota of dizziness. to the days pro-
ceedings.
The readers of The Republic who
have been following the proceed
ings of the Senate for some time
might be interested to know how
the Senate looked at o'clock last af-
ternoon. At that time Mr.. Quay
was "debating"-that is to say, he
was reading typewriter and printed
matter from papers that were piled
up on his desk. There were nine
people in the public galleries; there
were seven Senators ON the floor,
exclusive of Quay. The venerable
Morrill, Of Vermont sat few seats
away from Quay, quietly reading q
newspaper. PETER sat some dis
lance behind the Pennsylvania
statesman, writing letters. Teller
sat in his seat near the center aisle,
writing letters. On the Democratic
side Pasco Of Florida sat near the
center door, writing letters.
A few feet away on the same
