Emily Vanderbilt Sloane, most beau
tiful granddaughter Of the old ferry
man who established a notable family
and a colossal fortune. is rich enough
to marry the man of her choice, n she
will do so. Her engagement to John H.
Hammond, a poor young New York
lawyer, has just been announced, and
the wedding will take place early in
the new rear. Miss Sloane's fortune Is
put at So, 900. 900. Her mother was En-
lily Vanderbilt before her marriage with
William Douglas Sloane, the multi-mil-
lionaire carpet manufacturer. The
young woman who will become Mrs.
Hammond has therefore the birthright
of millions from both branches of her
p~arentage. For generations 1t has been
the rule among the Vanderbilts to mar
ry into vastly rich families. Miss En-
lily Sloane Is the first to defy the I'M
written law. Though a Vanderbilt n
heiress to millions, she Is not a typical
member of the 400. She cares but little
for society and would readily give UP

ARMY STRAPS AND STRIPES.
Insignia Marking the Rank of Men In
the Service.

Shoulder straps and stripes are the
generic terms to denote a distinct
mark of superiority in the scale OF
military service. In an ordinary life
of democratic equality we a little re-
alize how much differences i'm every
respect a slight grade of superiority
means In the military service. The
exactitude with which this distinction
Is observed is exemplified in the mi
nuteness OF regulations regarding a
uniform. A button at least. a stitch
In the coat. a rim on the hat. some de-
tail in every piece of wearing apparel
must be different lest the dire calamity
happen and a first lieutenant be mis-
taken for a second or a colonel be ad-
dressed as lieutenant colonel.
Shoulder straps mark the dividing
line between the officers and men, the

a democrat but who opposes the
democratic Platforms silver declara-
ton. We have a man answering that
description in senator Smith. Of New
Jersey. A fortune made in the m tnu-
facture of patent and enameled leather
was one OF the agencies that carried
James Smith. Jr.. into the federal sem
ate. He has not been a shining light
there-he has counted one with the
goldbugs while ranking as a democrat.
He is serving his first term-his only
term. He is one of the defeated, as the
result of last weeks election.
In an interview Senator Smith says:
THE democratic defeat was largely due
to an apprehension on the part of the
large manufacturers and business men
that. should W. be successful. the
United States congress and senate
would favor the free coinage of silver.
II was this fear which influenced those
with large business interests to vote
against us and with the republicans"

truth which so seriously interferes with
what the Inter Mountain is trying to
make itself believe. But Smith has

A Bold Confidence Game.

The boldest confidence game that
has been perpetrsted in Parsons for
many years is said to have been played
on one of Psrsons's jewellers. It seems
that gentleman representing himself
to be an engineer called on one of the
jewellers and asked to be shown some
watches. After carefully examining
the watches the gentleman remarked
to the dealer tn at he would take the
watches to the M. X. & T. watch in
oector and test them, As the gentle
man had in the course Of his converse
ton mentioned being friend of q
number of Katy engineers, all of whom
were known to the dealer as reliable
men, 10 objection was made to the al
legged engineer taking the watches and
having them tested. The fellow left
the store and no trace of him has been
found and the jeweler is out two fifty
dollar gold watches.-Psrsons Sue.

The Largest Locomotive.

A leviathan on wheels has just bee
introduced on the system operated u
connection with the various works of
the Carnegie Steel company, says the
New York Tribune. The locomotive
Is the largest and heaviest in the
world, powerful enough, IL it were put
to that test, 10 haul more than the en-
tire cargo of great freight steamer.
II was built by the Pit,sburg Locomo-
tive WORKS on an order from the Union
Railroad Company, of Pittsburg.
IL is not only larger and heavier as
whole than any locomotive previously
built, but excee de- all Others in many
of its essential details. The weight on
the drivers ID 2OS,U00 pounds. The
motives have 1000 pounds
on two separate driving
wheel bases, and the tank locomotives
of the ST.. Clair tunnel have l95, 600
pounds GA ten driving wheels. The
twel ve-Sneel locomotives of the Great
Northern railroad have total weight
of 2l2, so pounds, OF which only l72, 600
pounds are on The driving wheels. The
cylinders of the new locomotive are
% by 81 inches, as compared with
81 by "a inches for the Great
Northern, aud its boiler heating sur
face is 1872 square feet, as compared
with 3 230 on the Great Northern. 1t
not only has grS alter weight on it's driv-
ers but exceeds also in cylinder power
and in the steam-producing capacity of
its boiler the most powerful locomo-
hves ever constructed.
An indication of the power of the To-
connective is furpisned by the charact-
ter OF the work demanded for 1t. About
four miles of the line upon which IL is
operated has a grade of 20 feet u mile,
and on C2e stretch of about two thous-
and feet, up across the line OF
the Pennsy ivania Railroad reach
ing to to the FOOT of q seventy
foot hill, has grade of "a per
cent. The traios OF many cars are
loaded down with iron, coke and mill
and furnace products, ard aggregate
many tons to q car. The locomotive is
now in daily use, and Is said to be
highly satisfactory. not only in the
work accom- plished, but in the economy
of fuel and water required.
