rs THE LOCOMOTIVE DOOMED !?

There is lament because of the idea
is soon to disappear from the railroads.
But if the Railroad Gazette correctly
understands the situation, and it GER
tainly has good opportunities for do
ing it, all the talk that is going on
about the immediate substitution of
electricity for steam on the railroads of
the world, and the consequent relega-
ton of all locomotives to the scrap heap
is so premature as to be little better
than wild nonsense. For at least five
years, says the Gazette, people who
know very little about either steam or
electricity have been prophesying the
dethronement of the former by the lat
ter as the motive power for the trans
portation Of freight and passengers,
and all they have at present to show
in the way of fulfilIment are 104 miles
of electric railroad in one place, 1913
miles in another, and miles in a third.

cleared of its money and utterly wreck
ed by two boolkeepers who never in
the course of business had any oppor-
tunity to handle any of the banks
money, but who were aided by confed-
crates on the outside. The method
was disclosed in the trial of Louis Gal
lot, one of the confederates. He made

bank, and so became known to the
banks officials as a depositor. His ac-
count was kept by one of the guilty

would ask the bookkeeper if Gallots
account was good for the amount
claimed. The account was falsely de-
clared to be good The money was
then paid, but it was not charged to
Gallot's account. There was no evil
dence on the ledgers of the bank that
such money had been paid out, and it

vaults. By such operations the bank

the thefts, although carried on for
years, We're not discovered until a local

deposits led to mastering of resources
and counting of the banks cash. Dur

IN .dRLE NICK MIN.

Turkey isn't yet out of Greece and
she doesn't seem to be out of skill in
diplomacy, She has been able to so far
hold her own with the powers and the
powers haven't done her any harm.
The Greek minister at Rome cannot
understand how Europe has forgotten
so easily Turkish methods and habits
"If Turkey is able to put her finger to
her nose and defy Europe in the matter
of reforms without being one bit the
worse for her contumacy and impu
dence, do you suppose she will now
clear out of Thessaly unless a strong
foot kicks her out? The powers so far
have done nothing, and / do not believe
they will do more In the future. The
so-called perfect accord between the
powers does not exist. If it had exist
ed, there would have been no war"
And the usually well informed London
correspondent of the New York Sun
says: If the situation has altered dur
ing the past week, it has not been for
the better. Turkish diplomacy has been
for the moment as conspicuously sue
cessful in Constantinople as the Turk
ish arms were in Thessaly. The Am
bassadors have been beaten all along
the line because they used threat
which they knew they were not In a
position promptly to carry out, and
they knew that the Sultan knew it,

FASHION NOTES.
An Unwise Ruling.

All of a sudden corsets are being
laced high, and the waist is not only
made small, but the taper Of the figure
is carried as high as possible. This is
in rebellion against the recent mandate
that the waist shall be as small as a
finger ring, and that the bust shall
spread promptly above and the hips
promptly below, each so generously
that it shall be a mystery how In the
world you ever got the ring on. This
did very well for one or two women out
of ten, but the others refused to be a
squeezed, inflated and jolly uncomfort-
able sacrifice. Women who can stand
it with a fair degree Of comfort still
stick to it, but it isn't pretty even for

them Carried to the extreme, to which
they would push it. the result would be
something like what is shown In this
picture, where the waist measure is al
together too small for health, grace
and comfort. Such q bodice as this
was worthy of more grace Of line and
1t is to be hoped that copiers will give
to it more ample dimensions. 1t was
made of blue and white foulard and
fastened beneath the side ruffie of

With narrow blue velvet ribbon. The
belt was of the same trimming, rib
bon trimmed the sleeves at the wrists,

Hip pieces to match the bloused front
of the bodice are set below the belt on
lawn gowns with very dainty effect, es-
pecially when the bloused front is all
fluff with rows of lace insertion and
dainty ribbon. These needlework eff
fects are much in vogue 1t can be

SO much Importance is attached to
the new steel bridge over Niagara river
at the Falls that its opening, about
August 1, is to be made the occasion for
a gala celebration, to continue for three
days. In several particulars it is a re-
markable bridge Engineers pronounce
it the best specimen of bridge building
in the world, and transportation men
say it will be one of the most travelled
highways on the globe, as much of the
immense volume of traffic between the
East and the West will pass over it.
The bridge was built practically on the
site of the old bridge, and the latter
was not removed until construction of
the new bridge had progressed SO far as
to permit of the passage of trains The
section for vehicles and pedestrians is
now nearly finished, and the old bridge
removed piece by piece, is now ready
to be carted away.

One immediate effect Of the new
Pennsylvania law levying tax of three
cents a day per head on all alien la
borers In that State has been an enor-
NOUS increase in the number of appli-
cants for naturalization. Although the
law has been in operation less than a
fortnight, more than 1900 foreigners
have applied for their first papers, and
it Is believed that the number will ag-
gregate 5000 before the act has been in
force for month. 1t appears that
most Of these aliens have come into the
State with the expectation of becoming
citizens sooner or later, and it has
needed only the threat of a discrimin-
ating tax to persuade them to declare
their Intentions.

Tariff Prospect. Are Helping.

The progress made by the Senate with
the tariff bill has given some impetus
to general business. and has created u
more hopeful feeling in all departments
of trade. The matter is not entirely SEN
timental or Mt all partisan. The doubt
and instability which have plainly sur
rounded every commercial avenue and
which always exist while tariff uncer-
tainty lasts will in all probability soon
be removed. For the first time since
1887 the business of the country will be
in a free and untrammeled position and
the favorable effect on credit and individ-
ual action canot be too highly estimated
The manufacturer and the distributor
will be able to see clearly into the future
and the money lender and the money bor-
rover will be able TO act Understandings
The prospect has already caused some
activity in the iron and steel trades. and
has given definite assurance In other di-
rections. The great majority of the
American people hope for and have con-
fdence in substantial results. The gen
eral situation is ripe for the change.
Money is abundant at low rates. Price
is on level which practically guaran-
tees judicious operations.
