DOESN'T KNOW THE TINE.
Ex-Mayor Hogan VIII Not Own a Watch
or Clock.

or Clock.
Dennis ]. Hogan. ex-mayor OF Geneva,
former trustee of the Elgin hospital for
the insane and the heavies member of
the democratic state central commit
tee. came to town one day last week to
hear the news of the campaign.
"When'd you get In. Denny?" said
Candidate Tom Gahan. when Mr.. Ho-
gan visited his headquarters.
Don't know" said Denis.
What time are o going out?" In
quired Candidate George Kersten, as
Mr.. Hogan was finishing a call on him.
Don't know" said Denis.
Mr.. Hogan is one OF the few men on
earth with whom time and tide cut no
ice. He Is able to lead II and prefers
life In the country. He has a fine home
at Geneva, not far from the Northwest
ern station. II is a splendid old house
OF % large rooms. but In not a single
one OF them can be found a clock or
timepiece performing the duties for
which II was intended. Mr.. Hogan new
err carries a watch. Neither does Mrs.
Hogan nor his children nor his serv-
ants.
This is Mr.. Hogan's one eccentricity.
He counts time by heart throbs." or.
rather, by his i~nclinations. IL he Is nun

ule time. II he is sleepy he goes to bed.

cares TO come to the city. he just waits
until he hears the rumble of a train
in the west IN he stroIls over to the
depot.
Just one clock ever licked out a dis
turbance in that great house since Mr..
Hogan has occupied II. and the hands
OF that have been pointed at 3 o'clock
ever since Dennis first discovered II two
years ago. He had gone home from the
city on the last train one night and he
was just locking his eyes In slumber
when a strange sound disturbed the
quiet house.
''Cookoo, cookoo!" said the noise.
Mr.. Hogan aid awake the best part
of the next hour trying TO figure out
what kin of a serenade that was and
was Just seeking slumber a second time
when the sound fell in his ears again
"a double dose OF IL:
.'Cookoo! cookoo! cookoo! cookoo!"
Mr.. Hogan slid from under the blank
cts as quietly as the sea lion comes to
the surface of Its pond in Lincoln park
and began Investigations. He spent
nearly an hour burning matches and
hunting for the source of the disturb
ance. He was in the diningroom. about
to give up. when there again came:
'Cookoo! cookoo! cookoo! cookoo!
cookoo, cookooi"
Denis quickly struck a hight and there
in an obscure corner. behind a side
board. he espied a quantity carved
cuckoo clock which some visitor had on
the preceding day presented TO Mrs.
Hogan. II vas striking 3 o'clock. II
has never struck since. II was not
banished-simply silenced forevermore.
And the songs OF the cuckoo at 1. .
and 8 o'clock on that morning repre-
sent the only occasions during the last
20 years in which Mr.. Hogan actually
knew the exact time OF day.

Gaylord down to Galena, n from Ga

section called the attention of the con-
tractors to this condition of things. and
the contractors called the attention of
the city authorities TO IL. The street
and alley committee was called togeth-
er yesterday afternoon Ind e. out
there along with the mayor and the
city engineer to look the matter over

street. IL certainly would not be con-
ven1ent to vehicles OF pedestrians to
ave a sudden fall of six feet where
gaylord street crosses Galena. This
plan was about decided on when the
street railroad company interposed an
objection. The company has its tracks
on Gaylord street. and IL Gaylord street
is lowered to grade. the tracks would
have to be lowered also. This would
not prove very expensive. and some
of the aldermen were In favor OF re-
quiring the street railroad company TO
do this. when the company claimed
hat the grade would be made so much
sleeper that II would simply be re-
quired to move fts tracks OF Gaylord
street altogether. At present the COM
pany's track runs along East Park
street to Gaylord. down Gaylord to Ca
lena and then east on Galena- The
company has acquired lots at the corr
ner Of Park and Gaylord streets and
Gaylord n Galena streets. over which
its tracks run in order to lessen the
grade. With the street lowered six
feet the tracks would have to be taken
up altogether m loved TO some other
street.
The committee. after considering the
matter thoroughly. decided to recon-
mend hat the grading be stopped at
a point a few feet west of Gaylord
street. The grading will be tapered
down to Gaylord street and the street
will be trimmed off a little between
Gaylord and Warren streets, but that
block will not be graded. Winters.
Parsons & Boomer agreed 10 abandon

such to be the case. however.

thing O. K, as Willie finished oiling,
when the sound of whistle in the dis
lance announced the coming of the spe-
cial; and in what seemed a very short
time the special was in, the engine cut
off and in on the side track, and 372
backed up and coupled on.
After trying the air brakes, reading
over the orders and comparing watches
with the conductor, and receiving a
high ball." Turner gave the bellrope
jerk, threw forward the lever. pulled
open the throttle, gave the sand lever a
shake or two and they were off.
Nothing unusual occurred for the
first few hours. Turner sat or half re-
clined leaning from the window; the
fireman stood in the gangway or ex-
changed an occasional word with Willie
between fires, as he sat on the seat OPP
posite from his father, his eyes first
resting on the rapidly moving scenery,
then in and around the engine, as if to
make sure that everything was as it
should be-
When a bridge was reached a stop
was made. The inspectors alighted
with their instruments, and, after the
necessary amount of tapping, measur-
ing, recording and the like had been
gone through with, they boarded the
train, and away they went till the next
bridge was reached.
1t was just four o'clock when they
left Whitehall, with but one more stop
to make before they reached the turn
ing point.
Everything was in good running or
der. The 372 was more than doing her
work. She steamed as though it
were a delight to her; she picked up
her train right at the start, and she had
also demonstrated her ability 10 run;
so, as they neared Apple Creek Hollow,
where the last stop was to be made,
Turner decided to ''let her out" little,
just to see how she could run. This
hollow, as many others do, took it's
name from the creek that ran through
the bottom, and it was six miles over
all; that is, it was three-mile drop to
the lowest point, then three-mile raise
back to the level, and as there were sew
eral sharp curves before the bottom was
reached, it was possible to get what
railroad men generally call "a wicked
ride"
As they were to stop at the bottom,
the fireman put in light fire and turned
on the injector. Willie leaned from the
window in joyous expectancy, for the

stood up, pulled his cap down little
tighter, took a firmer grip on the throt-

Faster and faster they went. The
fences appeared to be one continuous
line of rails; the telegraph poles fairly
flashed by, and the engine rocked until

AMERICAN VS.. FOREIGN ENGINES
English Journals Refusal to Believe
in American Records of Speed.

The Engineer of London does not, we
are sure, intend to pose as a humorous
journal; but, nevertheless, it is some
times quite amusing, particularly when
trying to demonstrate to its own salts
faction, and to make its readers be-
lieve, that things regularly done here in
America are, as a matter of fact, i'm
possible, don't you know"
In its issue of September 10 is pub
lished the official record of the fast
run between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City. n. j., for the month of July last.
this record showing the time, from start
to stop, to average As minutes for the
45R miles-the figures varying slightly
on different days. The table was fur
nished by the Baldwin locomotive
works, and showed the performance
Of the train in detail for every day of
the month, while accompanying it was
profile of the road, showing the grades
traversed.
One would imagine such information
from such sorce to be entitled to ac-
ceptance in a respectful manner, and, in
fact, for the time being, the figures were
allowed to go unchallenged and in its
issue of October % the Engineer even
published letter from E. H. Clark,
of Leeds. testifying that he made the
trip on the locomotive of the train on
a day when the distance was covered
in 47minutes. In its issue of November
10, however, the paper returns TO the
subject in leading editorial, and, re-
ferring to the official record before pub
lished, it says: Beyond all question,
that official record is quite fallacous.
1t is not true either in substance or in
fact. 1t is a record of mechanical i'm
possibilities. Nevertheless, we think
we have actually got the scientific truth
in Clement Stretton's letter, which will
be found in another page"
Reference to Mr.. Stretton's letter,
shows that it relates to a run made in
1893, when the time made was 5j14 min
utes. There is not a scntilla of evil
dence against the record of 1897, but
because of the slower time in 1898, the
record for the last season lis not true
either in substance or in fact"
Now the question is: Does the En-
gineer really believe that because a GER
tain rate of speed was not attained il
1893, therefore it cannot be in 1897, and
that anyone who claims it can be is
mendacious, or does it deliberately in
tend to resort to mere pettifogging
methods to deceive its readers? We
must confess that we see no other al
tentative.
Nevertheless, the Engineer is forced
to admit from Mr.. Stretton's figures of
the run as made four years ago that
American locomotives do make faster
time than English ones.-American Ma

SKELETON REGIMENTS.
Twice as Many POstmasters as Enlist-
ed Soldiers in the United States.

ed Soldiers in the United States.
The United States army is not a very.
large, powerful or imposing organiza-
ton in comparison with any of the arm
les maintained by the leading powers
OF Europe. 1t is curious fact that
there are in the service of this govern
ment more than twice as many post
masters, for example, as there are en-
listed soldiers. In other words, the
United States has not an army large
enough to permit of a policy of plac-
ing one soldier at every post office in the
United States in time of some sudden
emergency, and even if the strength Of
the army were doubled its force would
still be insufficient for such a pur-
pose.
This condition of affairs is not pleas
ing to military men generally, and
army officers have many times Consid
cred the advisability of the adoption of
some system by which the strength of
the army in some sudden emergency
could be increased. The prize essay of
the military service institution for this
year, for example, deals with the ques-
ton of establishing a system which in
time of need would be utilized IN rails
ing volunteer army for almost imme-
date service. The essay is at Last in
teresting, although naturally it is
written from the point of view of an
army officer.
According to this essay, the best sys-
tenn to provide for any sudden emer-
gency of war would be one which had
been mapped out in advance, and for
the proper working of which some
preparation had previously been made.
The essay proposes in effect that the
regiments of the volunteer army shall
be raised on a system which allows one
regiment to each congressional district,
and one also to each territory. eXclu-
sive of Alaska. Such a system would
call for a force of about 435,0O0 men,
or 361 regiments, each regiment hav-
ing 1900 men.
OF these 361 regiments the greater
part would naturally be infantry. 1t
is proposed, for example, that
225 regiments of infantry, 81
of heavy artillery, 80 of light
artillery and of cavalry would repre-
sent fair apportionment. The officers
of these regiments would be commits
stoned under federal law, the colonel of
each regiment being a regular, with a
rank not above that of major of the
active list of the army, and his service
requirements being restricted to not
more than one month in each year. By
some such system as this, it is claimed
that, when war should break out, at
least the officers of the different regi-
ments would be men of some expert
ence in military affairs. The PROPOSE
ton is somewhat original, but il is not
likely to be adopted in this country so
long as the present system of the ma
tional guard is in eXistence.-Boston
Advertiser.
