KANSAS RAILROADS.
Auditor Cole Makes a Statement as to the
Value of Four Main Lines.

----~-N
TOPEKA, Kan, May SO.-Auditor OF
State Cole has prepared a statement OF
railroad property showing the COM
parative values of the four main line
properties across the state from the
Missouri river to the Colorado line,
including main track, side tracks, tele-
graph, rolling stock, materials, sup
plies, moneys, credits, buildings and
Pullman cars, as follows:
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, 4sG. 40
miles main track; total value, Sc, 49,
46O.9 average per mile, So, 642.s0
Union Pacific, 445.13 miles main
track; total value, 81, TIA, 4Os 60; aver
age per mile, SO, 591.Os.
Missouri Pacific, 1890 miles main
track; total value, So, 153, POI; average
per mile, S6.s594O.
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, 454. sc
miles main track; total value, 2,94S,-
s74.9 90; average per mile, Sc, 4S6.
The low average of the Rock Island
is explained by the company's method
of distributing its rolling stock over
the main line and branches equally.
1t has total mileage of 1,117.6s in the
state, making the assessment per mile
of the main line much lower than
other roads of the same relative value.

Number of the Larger Cities.

Number of the Larger Cities.
New YORK, June A cool easterly
breeze sprung up shortly after o'clock
yesterday afternoon and it is hoped put
an end to the hot weather. For five
days the thermometer has ranged from
20 to % above zero and sweltering
humanity has longed in vain for a
breath of fresh air. Ambulance bells
have rung and surgeons have been
kept busy attending persons in all
parts of the city who have been over
heated. 1t is safe to say that at least
twenty-five people have died during
the past five days as a result of the
heated term and that over 100 have
been Frustrated and taken to the diff
ferent hospitals of the city. A good
many of those taken to the different
public institutions will not recover.
The death list yesterday is one of the
largest on record. Thus far ten peo-
pie have been carried off the streets
dead and eleven more are in a precari-
Gus condition.
SEVEN DEATHS AT PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA June 4.-Seven deaths
was yesterdays addition to the heated
term fatalities. There were nearly
fifty prostrations, about one-third of
which number was made up of police
men and tiremen, who held their an
nual parade yesterday, marching under
the broiling sun for several hours.
The fatal cases were principally in
fants and old people. The maximum
temperature was 96 degrees at p. m.
EIGHTEEN PEOPLE OVERCOME.

on Orders from the Pope.
ST. LOUIS, June A cable message
was received here to-day announcing
that Archbishop Kenrick, who has
long been in bad health, had been re-
tired by the pope and Coadjutor John
]. Kahn has been appointed in his stead.
The effect of the action is to effectu-
ally retire Archbishop Kenrick from
all rights, titles and privileges obtain
ing to the archbishopric of st. Louis.
Supplementary instructions are ex-
pected from the propaganda to provide
fitting annuity out of the resources
of the archdiocese.
The compulsory retirement of the
venerable metropolitan will come as a
rude shock to the Catholics of his arch
diocese. His attitude at the vatican
council, which declared the dogmas of
papal infallibility and immaculate con-
ception. gained for him worldwide
reputation, involved him in contro-
versies with the greatest theologians
within and without his church and be-
got for him the amending opposition of
the authorities at Rome.

Minister Much Satisfaction.

Boys with Boxing Gloves Cause n Worthy
Minister Much Satisfaction.
He might have been planning a ser
mon for Sunday. but somehow it did
not look like it There was too much
of an appearance of personal enjoy
ment about him to lead to the belief
that he was arranging a discourse as
to the straight and narrow path.
II was down on South Clark street,
and ne was standing in front of store
window. The proprietors, In seeking
a novelty to catch the eye of passers-
by. had secured the services of two d.
minutive colored lads. These had
been clothed in tights, trunks and
sweaters, and armed with enormous
boxing gloves-Eioves so big and soft
that they could easily have passed for
hotel pillows. Just inside one of the
plate glass windows of the store a
platform had been built and sur
rounded with ropes to resemble prize
ring. A big sign on the wall bore the
inscription: This Ring is Padded"
In this the two colored lads remained
all day. Most of the time they sat in
diagonally opposite corners and glared
at one another. Occasionally, prompted
by their employer, they would meet in
the middle of the ring and indulge in a
boxing bout. There was no one to call
time" and the boys would box away
until tired.
1t was during one of these periods Of
boxing that the crowd had collected in
front of the window. 1t was a heter-
Ogeneous one; there were newsboys
and business men, messengers and
clerks, with sprinkling of the unem-
ployed. To cap the climax, there was
the preacher. There could be no doubt
about his profession. His carefully
trimmed gray side-whiskers, his sleek
and prosperous air told his profession
even if his clothing had not. But his
long black coat with its upright collar
and his white tie were there to bear
additional evidence.
The boys were busy pounding away
at one another when he came by. The
crowd attracted his attention and he
glanced at the window. Just then one
of the boys hit the other good blow
on the neck. The preacher saw it and
an odd smile played about his mouth.
He stepped up closer to the window,
and the crowd glancing at him uncOn-
sciOusly made way for him. In mo-
ment he was in the front rank of spec
tators and was watching the boys with
great interest. A successful blow
caused him to look with satisfaction at
the boy who delivered it, while good
duck seemed to afford him equal
pleasure.
Gradually the crowd drifted away
and the preacher was left standing
alone, but he was oblivious to all but
the boys. Finally the lads stopped for
sheer lack of breath. Then the preacher
turned from the window to continue
his way. There were half a dozen peo-
pie looking at him, some with an
amused and others with merely Curl
Gus expression. The preacher glanced
at them, flushed a little and then
walked gently and peacefully on his
Tribune.
