The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1899-01-05

The year 1898 has been an
eventful one, equal to if not more
so than that of 81. It was a year
of grand achievements in states
manship and diplomacy. The pa
triotism of this whole nation was
displayed in a more enthusiastic
manner than was ever anticipated.
Our neighbors, the Cubans, were
sorely oppressed by their mother
coun try to such an extent that our
country's symp athy was aroused
to the highest pitch, and the in
humanity could no longer be tol-
Grated. While the peoples hu-
name fever was rising they were
startled by tho blowing up of the
Maine and the destruction of this
magnificent ship and hundreds of
our noble men was a crime of hor-
rible atrocity and made the whole
world shudder. This was Span
ish crime, perhaps not at the in
stigation Of the government, but
by one of their subjects. This
aroused the indignation of the
people and it was difficulty that
our noble president could retain
them. War was finally declared
and call for volunteers was ans
wered from ocean to ocean by our
men who we're SO eager to answer
their country's call that it was diff
fcult to select them. Victories
on land and sea were achieved
that excited the wonder and ad-
miratioD of the whole world.
Peace has now been secured and
America stands at the head of the
civilized world, commanding the
respect Of every power in exis-
tence. z Al

The beef had been roasted, not boiled. 1t
was cut the proper siz for the can from
great roasts and had traces of the crisp

was good beef, and made IA reputation
that others sought to gin market in
its name for a cheaper article Of boiled
meat, and that cheaper article was what
was sent to our SOLDIERS as roast beef con-
tanning all the elements OF fresh roast
beef.

cross the lena Bridge. The question of
Disagreement must be debated with
that of utility; u d utility stands small
chance In Paris when the beauty OF the
city Is involved. This is why trolley cars
have no hope of succeeding. The Metro
politan Underground met with the great
est opposition until it was understood
that even the preliminary work should
not make too much dirt. If the Paris
ians can be persuaded that an elevated
railIoad-for it amounts to that-can be
run across the fbeautiful bridge at the
1rocadero without making itself cause
for esthetio qualms, the thing VIII be
aone. With these two separate lines Of
moving sidewalks, the proper circulation
OF the crowds within the grounds Will
be secured.
In each case the moving sidewalks viii
be triple. The first strip will be station
airy; the second will be always moving at
the rate of three miles an hour, and the
third will be always moving at the rate
of almost six miles an hour.
The original device Of the French engi.
neer Hensrd, which made each platform
but series of connected ears, has been
replaced by this Chicago idea the only
possible oue for such long distances.
Zach rolling platform Is furnished with
a continuous rail. and instead of being
dragged along, as cars would BE-, 1t Is
pushed onward by liked rollors. Inc
force which Is electrical. is thus applied
at regular intervals throughout the length
of the line. Otherwise the Platforms new
er could be made to move.
The same American device provides for
the vary Ing speeds of the two platforms
OF Grated by the same motive power. Lbs
fastsr moving platform is pushed onward
by the larger rollers. The rollers mova
together, actioned by the same motive
power. Only each roller, according To
its size, gives faster or II slower motion
to tie platform above 1t,
In this way, say the Parisians, there Is
no reason why there should not be ele
waited moving sidewalks for the rapid
transit OF the streets. You would first
step onto the platform that moves three
miles an hour. Then You would step
onto that moving six miles an nour.
Then you woald step onto another NOV
ing nine miles an hour. And SO on to
the speed of an express train.

q A statement is attributed to Senator
Depew that President Garfield once ad-
vlsed him "to stop telling jokes from that
day, for l have studied the American
public carefully, and 1t will not place con-
fdence in the man who say humorous
things" And yet the American people
did place confidence in man who sai .
so many and such good humorous things
that history and literature have been full
of them for quarter of century. Per-
haps if the American people had under
stood this side of Lincoln's character at
first, they might have been distrustful
of him. But confidence was never more
safely placed than in the man who "ney-
sr snapped horses In crossing bridge.

A LESSON IN CANNING.

That must have been an exceedingly
instructive session which the army court

recently The court learned for one thing
that canned roast beef" was only q
trade name for an entirely different arti-
Gle, and that, il the army thought it was
buying roast beef, it had an erroneous
IMPRESSION, for it was really buying
hciled soup neat instead. 1t is said that
there IS no such thing as true canned
roast bees. " Perhaps that is true, but
it was not always true. Possibly the
boiled "canners. as the lean crit
tiers" ut the packing house are called,
have driven the good canned roast beef
ont of she market, but a few years ago 1t
