The railway system in the United
States employs $4,000 locomotives, 26,-
600 passenger cars and 5000 mail and
baggage cars. These figures seem

An ingenious Illinois scientist has
announced discovery that bids fair
to make great inroads in the poultry
business and at the same time add lus-
ter to the already brilliant halo that
surrounds the COW. He is about to
perfect a process whereby eggs may
be made out of milk, and already there
is marked depression in gallhaceous
circles. 1t is currently reported that
the savant is not content to rest on
his laurels, but is already in hot pur-
suit OF an idea to make duck eggs out
of the milk of the sea cow.

Growth of OntlaWry.

The recent attack on railway train
in Texas, by gang of six armed men,
is one among other signs that Amer
lea, like many an older country, is
capable of producing its own banditti.
In several of our cities-as a few days
ago in London-companies of reckless
youths have given to quiet citizens
much alarm, and have caused the po-
lice deal of hard, rough work. Birds
of this feather easily discover each
other; and there is doubtless ten
dency in the criminal class to com
radeship and cooperative enterprise
Various causes are at work to pro
duce outlawry and hoodlumism, and
not alone among the degraded poor
Not neglected children only, but the
miseducated and ill-diseiplined, con
tribute recruits to the army of evil
1t is thought that the tolerated law
lessness of few college students il
emulated by lads who never enter col
lege halls; that corrupt journalism
and rotten literature work like poi
son on thoughtless minds; that the
lax administration of the laws; thu
msanthropy which broods on socia
wrongs; and perhaps more than al
else, the widespread disrespect fol
honest, thorough work; the aversion
to it; and the lack of training neces
sary to success in any form of in
dustry, are creating class which live
by preying upon society. Bandits ar
not all men of violence. Many of then
know that craft is less dangerous, be
cause less offensive, than brutal rob
berry. Yet all combinations for plum
der, whether in defiance of law, b,
evasion of it, or even by the abuse o
it, are of the same bad quality. The.
alike expose property and person t.
outrage and depreciation. Civilize'
society, acting in self-defense, Will
dealing sternly with the evil whicl
shows itself above ground, must ais
dig up the poisonous root.

The queen regent of Holland. in a
proclamation issued upon the occa-
sion of the end of the regency, ex-
pressed the wish: May our country
become great in everything in which
a small nation can be great" Great
ness in the greatest things is entirely
within the reach of the least important
nation. Righteousness. honor. cour.
age, sympathy, all the things that ex.
alt people. are not necessarily asso.
ciated with extent of territory or ag.
gregates of population.

rlvening UP the Sexes.

When laws are enacted to even up
the rights or the privileges of the
sexes. the purpose generally is TO give
the women something in the way of
legal privileges from which they have
long been barred by the selfish law
making men. An exception, perhaps,
the only one, is in a new law in Mary
land, which is to take effect on Jan
uary l next. This law gives the hus-
band the same marital rights III his
wife's property as the wife has under
existing law in her husbands prop
erty. Each will have dover rights
The change gives to the husband more
of property rights than he enjoyed
under the now obsolete commcnlaw
right of Courtesy" The latter was a
contingency upon the birth of child,
says the New York Post, and gave the
husband life interest in all the land
ed property of his wife. The husbands
new rights fasten on the wife's prop
erty the moment she brings it into
matrimony or acquires it thereafter
by inheritance, gift, or purchase, UNI
less steps have been taken to keep him
out of it. Should he not waive them
or by joining her in deed of her prop
erty convey it to purchaser, his
claim to each piece or parcel to the
| extent of one-third continues until
after her death, when he becomes q
life tenant of his one-third. The new
right will attach even though the par
ties are separated, but not absolute
| ly divorced. In brief, the statute aims
to give both husband and wife. widow
and widower, respectively, the same
or an equal share in each others prop
erty under like conditions at death
and equal rights in property in all re
spects.

One of the odd ways of making
money at Chickamauga has been by
tattooing the soldiers. The tattooing
artist reached the camp of the First
Missouri. and in two days carried away
about S17o from the regiment. He
charged from 25 to so cents for a set
of initials inclosed with fancy scroll.
Both officers and mer patronized him
literally, and some of the spread

signs are quite artistic.

A correspondent at Santiago says II
is easy to understand the natives by
their motions in conversation. They
have a gesture for everything, and
with practice you can read them like
a book" 1t has been remarked of the
Latin languages that they must lack
the breadth and variety of English be-
cause they are spoken with constant
gesticulation. But temperament may
have something to do with it.

Extensive improvements are to be
made by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
way company west Of the Ohio river
on the same scale as those that have
been made east. Grades will be re-
duced, bridges reconstructed and
heavier rails laid. This it is estimated
will result in an increase of so per
cent. in train loading at some points.
An 1s-foot grade between Chicago and
Baltimore is in contemplation by the
company, to be completed within the
next two years. The policy of rehab-
ilitation adopted by the receivers OF
the road two years ago will be con-
tinued by the new company after re-
organization.

UThe election of house hostile to
the administration would be ma

nation. The approaching struggle will
result in the election of republican

1t was Sunday dinner at hotel

marked: when you all gets ready

A FOOTBALL TEAM
 FOR THE OLYMPlCS

The outlook for the football season few weeks back was very discouraging. It then seemed as if there would be but two first-class elevens in the field, those wearing the blue and gold of the Univer- sity of California and the cardinal of Stanford. But now comes the intlmauon of the Olympic Club to form team. Without one of the athletic clubs repre- sented on the gridiron there would be but one football game of any consequence, the intercollegiate match on Thanksgiv- ing day.
 Two years ago when the Olympic Club withdrew from the Pacific Athletic As sociation of the Amateur Athletic Union 1t divorced itself from all possible com petition with the big universities on &C., count of stringent prohibitions issued by that body against all competition with clubs or organizations outside the pale of their Jurisdiction. The Olympic Club has now seen the errors of it's ways and will make an attempt to re-enter the Pacific Athletic Association.
 Pete Smith, the great organizer of. ath- letic elevens. is back from Anaconda, and 1t is very likely that the task of formation will again fall to him. Smith has just re- turned from Montana, where he put in a season of play and work. The Reliance Club will not put a team in the field if the Olympic does-that is the agreement that has been reached between them. This is due to the paucity of football material in and about this city. Butte and Anaconda have depleted the local ranks to such an extent that the search for sufficient material to fill out sim gle strong eleven will be fraught with labor. The last graduating classes of the universities will furnish few play CTS and there are still some of the old men left.
 Anaconda has taken six of our best local football talent. McHugh, Arlett, Oliver, Thierkauf, Wilbur and Edmondson are playing under Anaconda's banners. Butte has Benson and Mahoney, one of Reli- ance's players.
 The University of California will begin its fall semester in two weeks, and the preparatory work of the season will be- gin at once. Cochran will be there to coach the blue and gold men, Stanford's season will begin at least weeks later. Cross will be their instructor.
