when the Pennsylvania proposed to build
twelve passenger locomotives with eighty
men driving wheels many of the Oldest
master mechanics expressed doubt as to
It's being practical, and especially on the
mountain divisions but to the surprise of
even the Pennsylvania mechanical depart
ment, these engines have done well on the
most mountainous division between AL
toona and Pittsburg. An official of the
pennsylvania said: 1T seems to have been
pretty well demonstrated by practical work
on the Pittsburg division of the Pennsvl-
Vania Railroad that the high wheel on ex-
press engines is a great advantage. Most
OF the Glass l. engines now hauling the fast
heaVy trains on this end of the road have
elghty-lnch driving wheels, and the way
they get over the hills and around the
curves is proof enough that such big wheels
are perfectly safe and that under the ire
mendous weight of the Glass l. machine
they are capable of hauling the heaviest
trains up the steep grades, providing that
not many stops are to be made Loco
motives with efghty-inch drivers are now
hauling Trains TO- 25 q, 20, g and G. and
a rev days ago one of them hauled No. 20
with twelve heavy cars all the way to AL
toona unasslsted and made up few min
utes or lost time. The tiremen say that on
fast runs. with few stops to be made the
big wheel is a good thing, as it makes the
engine easier to fire, there being less con-
sumption of steam in proportion to the
speed as compared with the sixty-eight-
inch wheels on the ordinary Glass z and
Glass O engines

A Singular Incident,

Boston Herald One of the division su-
perintendents of the Vermont Central re-
ceived repeated complaints that a a certain
crossing the prescribed signals from the To-
connective were omitted. The engineers were
reproved and warned, although they all
protested that they had never neglected
their duty. Finally, since of course the
matter might prove a serious one at any
time for the railroad, the superintendent de-
termined to get his own evidence and pri-
Vately stationing himself in a suitable DO

With Respect to Foot Ball.

Sorosis, the great woman's club Of
New York, was regaled this week by
an address from fair member, Mrs.
Shaw, in which Sc eulogized foot ball
amid the gasps of fond mammas and
the applause of other new women who
listened. She declared it to be rough.
but not brutal or dangerous, and the
best all-around exercise ever devised
for boy, She believed it to be a COM
plete school for self-control and pro-
ductive of excellent results. One of its
advantages which she particularly en-
phasized was that no boy can eat
sweets and pastry, smoke cigarettes.
drink tea, coffee or alcoholic beverages
and play foot ball, and she also assert
ed that organization, subordination,
authority and the spiritual lessons Oh
courage and manliness are thus learned.
She quoted statistics to show that the
interest in athletics had raised the
standard of morality and temperance
fifty per cent. in twenty-five years.
Although Mrs. Shaw is a teacher of
boys, as she states, it is evident that
she has none of her very own; has
never gone through a season of remon-
STRANGE against permitting her darling
to be halfback has not yielded through
sheer inability to further continue the
thought Of foot ball grave, where in
imagination or reality she has seen
him MANNED and unconscious after a
serimmage, with intelligence, or life,
or former activity forever crushed.
She has not awakened in sudden terror
for many nights thereafter as the hor-
rible scene recurs TO her overwrought
brain, and in fact Mrs. Shaw has evil
IDENTIFY seen nothing but the thrilling
panorama where the brave, splendid
young fellows in the beauty and grace
of their youth and energy have en-
gagged in rough and tumble skirmish,
resulting in no harm as far as outward
appearances might be judged.
Mrs. Shaw and other new women
who applaud her views might arrange
a compromise which as suited 10 all
sides has points in its favor. They
like athletics. They enjoy the spec
taefe Of rough sport. Why should they
not train their own muscles TO such a
degree that humping, banging, hair
pulling, knocking down and dragging
out necessary to the physical, moral
and spiritual welfare of a boy, from
childhood to the age of twenty-five
years, could be afforded him by his
mother or Some near feminine relative
