DEFECTS IN RUNNING GEAR.
Faults Pointed Out and Prophecy OF Bet
ter Things to Come

Faults Pointed Out and Prophecy of Bet
ter Things To Come.
The running gear of cars as now
constructed is only adapted for use
on straight tracks But, there
must be curves on roads, the trucks are
simply forced around them. 1t is said
that ii requires one-third more motive
power to carry train around an ordi-
nary curve than on straight track.
This is due To the strain TO which the
wheels are subjected In making a
curve the outside track is longer than
the inside one. Now, with a wheel on
each track and fastened immovably 10
an axle both wheels must make the.
same mum Der of revolutions In round
ing the curve how Is the inside wheel,
which has much shorter distance o.
travel, To male an equal number -
revolutions with the outside wheel? Il
is done in this way: The inside wheel
slips upon the inner or shorter rail
while the outside one covers the longer
distance. At the same time the. incli-
nation of the track required in making
curves throws most of the loaH uDon
the wheel that Is Slipping, causing 4
great strain upon both wheel and axle
II has been computed that this strain
is equal To double that of the rolling
pressure on a straight track. To NEE;
this the axle il made much thicker he-
tween the wheels than at the jnurna =,
where all the weight of the ear and
load is carried. Though it has been
long coming, | think the day viii
finally come when these defects in ear
trucks will be overcome. burgh

In -In,.ntI- Other Amec .ln lntrs.

a Rash Youth VINO Tried to Talk Poetry
to Jowett-Other Anecdotes
.Iowett's realism made him impatient
of all sham or shoddy, and very much
inclined To listrust all gush and all APP
parent unreality. 1t was comm on
story in old BaIliol days that an under
graduate who had attended the mas
ter's lectures on Natural Religion"
thought it the right thing to pose as
an unbeliever, and said: The fact *,
master. | cannot find evidence of Il God
anywhere"
You must find one by midnight or
YOU will go down tomorrow" WAS the
sharp answer that brought the young
man TO his senses, and discovered a dl-
vinitv that shaped his ends where 1T
was least expected, in the clear com
mon sense that would stand no tritling
or Ievity in serious things.
/ remember his saying to a young
man who had been talking rather gush-
inglv of his love for the poets: DO you
ever write poetry. Mr.. NJ. - Yes,
well, do something in that way" was
the answer. Meier mind, said the
master, ''how much you write as long
as Won burn it all" 1t was good ild-
vice, and il was said with such kindly
smile that il was felt for good.
ON another occasion an undergradu-
ate gushcd considerably about the glory
of the bright spring day. The shower
OF blossoms, the song of birds, the music
of bees-what a gift fro m Heaven il all
is! 1t makes us all poets. Does it not
make you feel poetical, master?" said
the rash youth. No" said Jowett,
testily-'I think not Take some more
tea"
Jowetts reality could not stand con
ceit bit more than he could get away
with idleness. Instead of saying, as
Harry Smith would say: My dear sir,
you are very young man and belong
To very old college" Jowett would
say straight out: You are very con
ceited young man; do not be SO fool

MISS CHICAGO'S BREEZY WAY

And it was even so. Every place of
amusement connected with the hotel
had been closed. Miss Chicago turned
the key which unlocked all the doors
and during the rest of my stay at the
hotel we had the gayest sort of a
time. Everybody was happier be

"Indestructible Strength"

The paragraphs subioined are from the
ST. Louis Republic. and have In them the
ring of the genuine metal. That paper
finds In the results of the elections just
held ian impressive demonstration Of
indestructible strength" We can con-
cede that this rs such an impression as
might we'll be made when We look at the
thousands and tens Of thousands of voters
who cast their ballots for the Democratic
party last Tuesday and then look at the
list of other thousands and tens of thou
sands OF voters who stayed away from the
ballot-box. We quote the Republic:
Democracy is strong enough AT any
time To assert VIGOROUSLY Its inherited
right to control the government 1t found
I'd. Yesterday It was at its lowest ebb.
Ii cannot again be as near TO weakness
and exhaustion. Yet 1t lost nothing that

demonstration of indestructible strength
has been made. that the future Is more
our own than 1t was In 1892.

York will settle its own quarrels and
wash its own linen. 1t is the West that
naturally belongs 10 us and that we must
have. The motto for the next great cam

We commend this striking language

Richmond and Virginia cannot afford to

II we do our duty to ourselves we can't
be excelled; but unless we are watchfui
Of our interests. we shall surely find that
we appear to as much disadvantage at
Atlanta as we did at Chicago.
Atlanta has her exposition In 1895; Bal
timore has hers In 1896. Why shouldn't
Richmond have one In 1900? Why. indeed!
we already have excellent Exposition
Grounds, and with $4,000 or 100000 we
could add to our buildings so as to make
them very imposing. We could count on
an appropriation from Congress Tor
government exhibit. No doubt Congress
would do as well for Richmond as 1t has
done for Atlanta.
Yes, why shouldn't there be an inter-
state exposition here; an exposition to
which all of the States OF this Union
should be invited? Richmond has hitherto
been known chiefly as an historical city.
and little attention has been paid to the
fact that we have been making rapid
strides In population. in industries. and in
wealth
One reason why we do not have our
proper rank amongst the cities of this
country is that many other cities. In antic-
ipation Of the census Of 1890. extended their
limits. while we did not; but this is a
thing we ought to do by 1900. Then we
might make the exposition signalize that
event and advertise our greatness to the
world.
Richmond and Manchester. and their
suburbs. II now united. would have nearly
no 600 population. and by the year 1900
we should doubtless. be up to the $4,000
mark.
So, while we are thinking about our
tobacco exhibit at Atlanta. let us give
some thought to the propriety OF Rich
mond's launching forth in the EXPOSE
ton business. Can't we rise equal to the
occasion If not. why not? Haven't we
the population and the wealth. the energy
and the intelligence to succeed In such an
enterprise? The Dispatch thinks SO.

THE JUSTICES BUSY DAY.

On for Stealing.


The docket I'm the Police Court yester-
day morning was one Of the most trying
the Justice has had to contend with
for the past two years. 1t was largely
composed OF felony charges.
j. Il. Tillar, the insurance agent ar
rested on the charge OF forging the name
OF ID. j.. Buckley to a receipt for $3S,
will be given a preliminary hearing on
the 18th. He was bailed In the sum or

with the larceny of $50 from the person
of Robert Wilkinson. Edward was sent
to the grand jury of the Hastings Court.
He was also sent to Jail for twelve
months as a suspicious character.

little white boys, Were up for teloniously
breaking into freight-car No. 2624 OF the

lot of wheat. The evidence against the
lads was not convicting, and on account
Of their extreme youth they were al

Charles Meekns (colored). charged with
breaking into the trunk of Alice Massie
and stealing a diamond ring and sll IN
money, was discharged. The trunk had
been left In the room, and the latter
was never locked.
The cases of Elijah Stevens and Robert
Holmes (colored), charged with feloniously
breaking into the storehouse Of NJ. r..

continued until the nth instant.
H. S. Winston was fined $40 for

The Income.Tax.

employment. low wages. Coxeylsm, and
Debsism have had their effect on the peo-
pie.

But here Is q Philadelphia paper which
finds In the income-tax a taxing OF the
industry Of the country which the people
have determined not TO submit to.
The income-tax OF reconstruction days
was abolished In sort OF underhand
way. but we doubt whether even the Re-
puolcans OF the next Congress will con-
sider 1t good policy to abolish the present
tncome-tax Iuless there shall be q sur
plus Of revenue.
The same paper says that the Demo-
Gratis have attempted to cripple the in
dus'ries and the development OF the
Northern States OF the Union by means
OF the admission Of foreign goods free OF
duty.
Ana so II goes. When we read Of the

1t would certainly look a good deal more

her health and high spirits instead OF
growing old and careworn from the

their tired. aching nerves, and pale.
