Market Reported Eadiy Overlooked
Number of Books Produced Last Year.
During 1894 the number of books pub
lished in this country, as given by the
Baltimore American, was 1857. or. in
Guiding new editions of old books. 4, Asa.
This was a comfortable falling off from
1893. when the new books numbered
4.2sl, or, including new editions. ,l3t.
The decrease was evidently owing to
the hard times, for when depression
comes one Of the frst manifestations of
economy is in cutting off the purchase
of books. It was also true that the
printing of books had been very largely
overdone. OF every fifty published. IL
is safe to say that not more than one is
worth reading. The figures for Amer
lea are large, but they are larger in
England. while France remains the
great publishing center of the world.
The old question as 20 where the
pins go is almost repeated in the books
and papers and periodicals. For some
time recently the cheap publishers
have been turning ont volumes by the
million. and it is possible TO purchase
any of the classics for three or five
cents. In nothing is competition more
keen than in the selling of books We
find the prices of the most reputable
publishers cut down more than one
half. while the prices OF books OF IN
ferior construction have reached sum

rapher and typewriter. To aid her In
performing the duties Of her Office with
satisfaction she has devoted her spare
time to studying law, paying particulars
attention to the constitution and stat
utes of Wyoming.
Early in July Cos. Richards and his
wife attended the interstate drill of the
national guard in st. Louis, and DUR
ing their absence Alice not only man.
aged all the business of tt governors
office. but was at the head of tha
household affairs at home, where
there are three younger children.
While the secretary of state is, dur
ing the absence of the governor, ''act-
ing governor, that official, a very gall
liant gentleman, did not assume any Of
the duties of his position. except such
as required his official signature, and
so far as the performance of the duties
of the position were concerned, Miss
Alice was the acting governor"
On one occasion notorious criminal
who had murderously assaulted
Cheyenne policeman, and who was ap-
pretended in Kentucky, was wanted
here for trial. Miss Richards signed
requisition papers requesting the gov
ernor of Kentucky to deliver the man
Into the custody of officers from Wyo-
ming, which. in due course of time. was
done. Every evening she te,egraphed
her father, giving him briefly an idea
of just how the affairs of the Office
stood and how the children were at
home.
The fact that Miss Richards performs
these duties causes no particular COM
ment here, and the matter was scarcely
thought of until notice in outside
papers wrought it forcibly to the atten-
ton of Wyoming people. The institu-
ton of woman suffrage, which has
been in practical operation in Wyoming
for the past twenty-five years. gives
very many clever women of the state
an opportunity to assume political
duties and perform them satisfactorily,
and the opinion prevails here that there
is no position in the state beyond the
ability of Wyoming women to fill.

trical Systems for Suburban and
Tunnel Wofk-Generztiou Of
the Necessary Current

The electrical system adopted by tho
Baltimore & Ohio railroad company 70
haul trains through the city of Balti-
more is the first and only one of tho
kind yet placed in operation. II has
been tested with freight trains Of TWEEN
ty-six loaded cars and two steam-power
locomotives, which were pulled up an
eight per cent. grade at the rate Of fifteen
miles per hour, the steam locomotives
not being used. From Camden station
to North avenue in Baltimore, one and
three-hfths miles, the electric locomo-
tive hauled fifteen hundred tons of dead
weight in FIVE and one-th;cd minutes,
actual running time. As it is designed
to operate an ordinary passenger train
weighing five hundred tons at thirty
five miles per hour, this and other tests
demonstrate its success beyond ques-
ton.
The electrical way. saws Leslie's
Weekly, is about two miles in length,
consisting of open cut and tunnel work,
the largest tunnel being 1889 feet long,
and extending under the heart Of the
city. The current is carried along an
inverted trough or channel of metal
placed at an angle over the center of
the track. and supported by series Of
transverse supports or bridges" from
which chains of iron rods are suspended.
which are the immediate support of the
channel in the open cuts. In the tun-
mel work the channel, which is a sub
stitute for the trolle~ wire, is suspended
by insulated supports from the roof
The current Is supplied to this chan
mel by three copper-feeding cables.

receives the current through brass
shoe sliding along the channel, and Is
connected with it by a jointed metsllio
frame, which is railed or lowered auto
matically. adjusting itself to any posi-
ton. This is the substitute for the
trolley bar in common use. The electric
locomotives, of which three will be in
service, weigh ninety-s,x tons each
about thirty more than the larger No
gul freight engines. They have eight
driving-wheels, each sixty-two inches
in diameter, and two trucks To each
truck are attached two motors, each

able to take current of nine hundred
electrical amperes and Of three hun
dred and sixty horsepower, making a
total OF one thousand four hundred
and forty horsepower to the locorno-
tive. They are the largest railway
motors ever built. The locomotive Ia
provided with sir-bralse, bell and
whistle, and is operated by parallel
controller quite similar to q street-car.
The current is generated in a power
station containing Ave engines, each

Thousand steam horsepower il needed.
The reason for adopting electricity
was to avoid smoke and gas in the tun'
mel work. and TO insure greater speed
than could be obtained from an ordi-
nary locomotive In pulling trains up
the necessarily heavy grades and sharp
curves of the railway. The road, which
is seven and one-fifth miles long, was
built to give the company an all-ran
route from Washington TO New York,
and avoid ferrying Of trains across the
Patapsco river, heretofore n cause Of
delay and annoyance. The cost Of
construction was seven million dollars,
the tunnel work costing two hundred
and twenty-five dollars per foot.

GIRL IS GOVERNOR
Miss Richards Rules Wyoming In
Her Fathers Absence.
She II Chief Executive by Proxy and BY
Courtesy of the Secretary Of State. Be

mime Fooh-Bah.

The private secretary Of Gov. ". A.
Richards, of Wyoming, is his nineteen
year-old daughter, Miss Eleanor Alice
Richards, better known in this COM
munity as Alice Richards, writes the
CHEYENNE correspondent of the New
York Herald. Miss Alice not only per-
forms the duties of an amanuensis
while her father. the governor, is here,
attending TO all the correspondence
of the governors Office, but during the
absence of the governor from the cap
stal or from the state she is, to all prac-
teal purposes, his representative, and
fulfills in a very creditable manner the
duties of his Office.
Alice was born at Oakland, Cal, Just
nineteen years ago. AS she has never
been east of the Missouri river she may
be considered typical western girl.
She lived with her parents at Oakland
until she was five years old. and then
removed with them to Colorado Springs,
Col. At the age of ten she went with
her parents to live on a bigcattle ranch
on the banks of the Big Horn river in
northern Wyoming. Here for four
years she was instructed by her par.
ents, there being no schools in the
country. Here, too, she formed the
habits of independence and self-reli'
ance which life on the frontier gives to
western girls She learned to ride half.
broken cow-ponies and sometimes went
on the "round-ups' with her father.
She also learned how to keep house in
the practical, comnOn-sense way OF
earlier times.
Mr.. Richards, Alice's father, was ap.
pointed surveyor general of Wyoming
in 1889, and came to Cheyenne to live.
Alice went to school in the Cheyenne
public schools. for several years and
then attended Mills college, near Oak.
land, Cal, where she graduated last
year. Her father, upon his election as
governor of Wyoming, gave her posi-
ton in his Office last January as his
private secretary. She was taken on
trial, and the trial resulted favorably,
and she is pretty certain to hold the
position throughout her fathers term
of office. which does not expire until
1899. Miss Alice is an expert stenog.
