DR.. Hurty's Visit to the Public Schools

DR.. John n. Hurry, secretary OF
the state board of health, has taken
up the question of sanitary inspec-
tion of school houses throughout
the state. He has in the past two
years visited 30 schools in differ
en-. counties of the state. There are
in the state 9,754 school houses and
the number visited is but two per
cent. of the whole, but this number
has shown woeful lack of atten-
ton in many points. The follow

Pullman in Mexico.

E. q. Martyr, superin tendent OF the
Pullman Palace Car company, with
headquarters at ST. Louis, is at present
in the City of Mexico, looking after the
interests of the company in the repub-
lie. The Pullman company claim that
the money paid them for their service
in Mexico does not pay their operating
expenses and that if it were not for
the subsidy paid them by the railroads
they would come out actual
loosers. The rate for Pullman
service now is 50, Mexican
silver, per berth. On the other hand
the salaries of conductors, porters and
other expenses are in gold. At the
present rate Of exchange the price of q
Pullman berth for night in Mexico
is considerably less than half what it
ia in the United States. It is stated
that the contract b etween the Pu]lm IN
company and at least one of the rail
road companies will expire within a
very short time, and that when it is
renewed it will either have q much
larger subsidy for the Pullman people
or the rates will be advanced.-San

The Outlook Bright.

The Rock Island, 80 the report goee,
has secured control of the Pecos Valley
road, and will build to q connection at
Amarillo. Mr.. Hagermsn. of the Pecos
Valley, has discharged ali the obliga-
tions of his road to the Santa Fe.-Pan-
handle News.
We have the news from reliable and
first-class authority that company
has been organized and the money fur
nished sby eastern capitalists to build
the railroad from Roswell to Salado,
60 miles, to meet the Ell PasO &.NOrth-
eastern there. This insures the con-
struction of the Chicago and Rock Is
land from Liberal, Kas., to Amarillo, a
distance of 40 miles, this year.
The ontract has been let to grade
and build the Ell Paso and Northeast
ern railroad from its present terminus
to Salado, N. NJ, distance of 80 miles.
This will only leave 60 miles to be fill
ed in from Roswe to SalsdO to give q
direct line, via the Pecos Valley rail-
road, from Chicago to Ell
Paso. over the Santa Fee to
Amarillo and from this place to Ros-
we'll. The filling in of the gap will
doubtless take pl ace this summer, as it

OFF FOR MEXICO.
New Special Train of the American
Tourist Association.

The new special train of the Ameri-
can Tourist AS -ociatiOu arrived at Un'
ion Station last nighs from Chicago
over the Illinois Central road, and was
placed on the Iron Mountain tracks
near TIE Pacific Coast Limited OF the
Missouri Pacific. Colonel Reau Camp
bell, with his secretary, Miss Jenkins,
will personally conduct the party OF
tourists through old Mexico, says the
St. Louis Republic.
The train consisted of 10 cars. eight
OF which were dining, compartment
and open Pullman sleepers, They
were all of the latest design, and
among the finest ever turned out from
the Pullman shops. At the rear OF
the train was the pride of Colonel
Campbell's heart, the wide open tour
list observation car, the Chlltlitl1,
which has been just equipped with q
patent sliding roof adjustable for all
kinds of weather. Mr.. 81. @. Town
send, general passenger agent OF the
Missouri Pacific; Harry Burkley and
B. Allison, advertising agent, were on
hand to look after patrons of the road.
Colonel Campbell, who has recently
published a very handsome guide to
Mexico, says that the most interesting
point to be visited is Militia, 30 miles
from Oaxaca, which is 300 miles south
of the City of Mexico. Militia is q town
of ruins, so old that no accurate his
tory can be obtained of it. On Febru-
airy 10 and IA valentine party will be
given in he hall of Monoliths, to which
200 guests have been invited.

COMPRESSED AIR.
Device That Enables n Locomotive

Device That Enables Locomotive
to Easily Generate 1t.
A Pittsburg mechanic is working on
a double barreled engine-that is, ed
engine with two boilers, each one about
35 inches in diameter and 10 feet in
length, not including the frebox. His
object is to utilize the force of Rravita
ton going down hill to pump air into
the cylinder or receiver, W hich is really
what one of the boilers will be. He says
that it will be possible to generate a
pressure of 500 pounds to the square
inch in the receiver by the force Of a
pump working on a cam attached to the
axles, and that this extra machinery
will not hamper or complicate the en-
CINE in the least. When the next hill is
encountered, the air pressure can be
turned into the cylinders by means of a
special nozzle or throttle, and while the
air is being used to keep the train NOV
ing the steam pressure can be raised to
the highest pitch, so as to be used in
case of long, ascending grade when
the air pressure gets low"
He expects to demonstrate the utility
and economy of his auxiliary air pres.
sure locomotive to the complete satisfac-
ton of all railway managers. Another
advantage which he claims is that while
the engine is standing the steam now
allowed to go to waste out of the safety
valve can be utilized in a special pump
to force air into the receiver for use on
level tracks or adverse grades.-Pitts-

TRENTON, n. j., Nov. 1.-The fiscal
year of the State ended yesterday, and it
has piles of money. The report of State
Comptroller Hancock shows that there is
the comfortable balance of 81. 253, 153.42 in

only on the basis of probabilities. suggest
ed by the facts of the situation as they
have developed, a successful defence of
Ladysmith does not seem to be a reason
able expectation. This view is revision of
an opinion formed on misunderstanding
of the natural defensive possibilities Of
the Ladysmith position. 1t was assumed
that a place selected for the heart Of the
British resistance to the Boer invasion
would be one not difficult of fortihcation,
and would be supplied with long range ar
tillery. What information has come to
hand since the opening of the war is
of character to dispel all such ideas.
The next consideration. and it is one
which is agitating England. is the ability
or otherwise. of Sir George White to effect
a retreat. Telegraphic communication with
the front is cut OF. This would indicate
that Joubert has succeeded in getting in
the British rear. The movement of the
Free State forces in that direction from
Dewdrop, southwest of Ladysmith. noted
yesterday, was in progress at latest ad-
vices and may have been accomplished.
BY short detour, by way of Onderbroek,
the enemy could probably strike the ,ail-
way at or near Colenso without encounter
ing resistance. Assuming that the gate has
not been shut upon the garrison, opinions
differ as to the feasibility of retreat.
One English critic thinks that Sir George
White might retire to Colenso.. taking TO-
sition behind the Tugelo River, and offer
effective opposition to the enemy's advance
toward Pietermartzburg but at Colenso he
would be open to attack in flank since
the river is fordable both to the east and
west, and the south bank is not regarded
as furnishing defensible positions.
A movement of retreat would involve
abandonment of supplies, the heavier ar
tillery, wounded, and prisoners, and in
view Of the present disposition Of the
enemy's forces. could not be effected with
out continued harassment on fianks and
rear. 1t is even probable that now it
would be only feasible after an encounter
with and the defeat of strong Bosr or
Free State force in the way. There is no
room for doubt that the possibility OF an
evacuation has been carefully considered
and provided for in General Jouberts pan
OF investment IL is even not improbable
that the Transvaal commander has been
playing to promote such a result with the
idea that it would afford him his most IA
vorable opportunity to give his gal ant an
tagonist the coup de grace.
