Employment to Fifteen Hun
dred Men.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Sept. A.
The Santa he Railway Company has in
creased tie working force in its shops at
this place by the addition of 100. men,
making the force now regularly employ
ed here little over GOO. Enlargements
and additions in the way of new build
ings and machinery are going on all the
time, and the superintendent of construc-
ton states tat he has orders to rush the
work Of expansion as rapidly as possible
until the plant has capacity for working
1900 men. The company determined some
months ago to concentrate all its build
ing and repair work at Topeka and AL
buquerque, making the shops at these
two places of equal capacity. and both
time the force here has been increased
from $50 to over 600, and new men are be-

BAYARD'S CONDITION
Is VERY CRITICAL
Former ambassador to England Suf-
fering From Debility, Aggra-
waited by Extreme Heat.

DEDHAM, Mass. Sept. 4.-The condition
of Thomas F. Bayard, former Embas-
sador to England. who is at Karlstein,
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Warren,
was critical to-day. So pronounced has
been the change in ,.le past two or three
days that it was thought the patient could
not survive many days.
Mr.. Bayard came to Karlstein, the
summer home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. F.
Warren. about three weeks ago. His
health was not good, and during the first
two weeks 1t did not improve. A week ago
a change came which appeared to be a
gradual breaking up of the system COM
bined with kidney trouble. At first 1t was
not thought likely that his case would
prove serious, although 1t was admitted
by those in attendance that the end of a
great career was not far Off The extreme
heat of the past few days has had a de-
pressing effect upon the patient, and on
Friday anxiety was keenly felt. A con-
sultation of physicians was held. Late on
Friday a favorable turn was noteu, but
yesterday the change was for the worse.
To-day he was semi-conscious, with a
fair pulse.

envy from those that have not been so
fortunate.
The most exciting thing that occur,

our train on the Burlington, and the

Kansas City to Randolph, Mo-, Be.

close together you can shake hands
with passengers on the other train.
The tive trains ran side by side with
the passengers on the Wabash shak-
ing hands with the soldiers on the
Burlington for several miles. There
was much excitement. Nuw and then
the Wabash would gain little on lie,
then we would 60 past them with the
widest excitement on each train. A
continuous yell was kept up.
The yells drowned the noise Of the
trains so that no one could realize how
fast we were going. 1t is useless u

are expected to be the reliable .regi.
ment OF the corps, as we are from the

hard campaigning. With the New

troops, we have decidedly the advan-
tage In climate and endurance.
Many OF the northern soldiers suffer
from the extreme heat and are not
able to endure the hardships OF camp
life.
This old battlefield is a glorious
camp g,Ounl. Plenty of wood, walter
and shade. No liquor on the ground
and considerable distance to town. so
there is NJ trouble keeping the boys
sober and at camp. The boys will
feel much better and look much bet

and guns, which we expect to receive
within the next day or so. We think
