ENGINE IS HooDooED.
An Old Conductor Tells of the Evil OF
No 1913.

Chicago, May 4.-On the way to New
York, out of Chicago yesterday, the
conductor came into the smoking room
of the Pullman and counted up the
train.
Then he sat back and answered
some questions asked him by a com
mercia1 traveller about a head-On col
HS1On that had occurred that morning,
in which two engines were badly stove
up and several cars telescoped. No
lives We're lost, for both engineers had
time to reverse and jump, and they
landed safely before the trains struck,
but lob was in the ditch, the conductor
said, and he thought it would be a
good idea to let her lie there.
That engine is certainly hoo-dOoed,' .
he remarked. ''She has beeen in
eleven collisions and is only two years
old Every time she leaves the round
house she kills somebody or runs into
something, and she has run over several
persons on the track. She can't go
through gang of track hands with
out hitting somebody. She KILLED her
fireman before she was out of the shop
two hours. 1 have heard, but 1 don't
remember, how many people have died
from her, but it's a good many.
No lob, this same locomotive" con
tinued the conductor. drew the train
in which so many lives were lost at the
Meadow disaster last summer near At
lantic City She has cost the company
forty times her value in damages, and
it would be economy to send her to the
junk yard II there was no other reason.
Nobody but a reckless, worthless en-
gineer will climb her cab any more. The
best of them have come to grief with
her. She is a regular JuggernaUt. Bill
Kinds, who is one of the most careful
and lucky men on the road, said he
would take her out one day, but I'll
be darned if he didn't run over a
switchman before he got to the depot.
He never killed a man before, although
he had been running for fifteen years,
and this, one, lucky enough, didn't die,
but Bill was so ratified that he climbed
out of the cab and said he would throw
up his job before he would take her

A cooking school formula Tor the
preparation of beef tea that is nutri-
tious advises: Take beef which has
been freed from all visible fat, and chop
it not too fine, add a pint of cold water,
and stir with a wooden spoon until it is
pulpy. Then let it stand in the icebox
for two hours. Put it into a porcelain
lined or enameled iron kettle; add a
little salt or bay-leaf or a Glove or a
stick of celery. When the kettle is on
the fire it should be stirred constant
Iy until it has reached the steaming-
point. 1t must never boil. The white
of an egg is used to clarity it, and it is
strained through double cheese-cloth.

FOR MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
Two Mammoth Engines Turned Out
of the Santa Fe Shops.

The two mammoth consolidated en-
gines which have been in the course of
construction at the Santa Fe shops in
this city for the past four months were
turned out of the paint shops yester-
day and one went on a trial trip to
Argentine. AS soon as thoroughly test
ed the engines will be sent to Ration,
New Mexico, for service on the noun
tain division of the Santa Fe.
The engines were built especially for
mountain service, and are two of the
largest locomotives ever constructed in
the west They are of the consolidated
type, adapted for mountain climbing,
and were built after original plans pre-
pared by superintendent of Machinery
John Player and other members of the
Santa F'e mechanical department. Their
construction was in a sense an expert
ment, as if they prove satisfactory in
heavy mountain service, a number of
similar engines will be built.
With the exception of the engine now
pulling the plug" these are the first
engines to be built at the Santa F'e
shops in this city since the Player en-
gines were built several years ago.
