RAILROAD BUILDING,

The Railway Age" says there is
every indication that not less than
5000 miles of new railway will be
built in the United States in 1899,
representing an investment of about
$l50,000,00O. At the present time
over 1000 miles are either under con-
tract or actually under construction.
Among the States showing over 100
miles OF line under contract or con-
struction are the following: Akan-
sas 215 miles, Indian and Oklahoma
Territories 204, North Carolina 1872,
Florida 153, Louisiana IA, Georgia
LAG, West Virginia 140, Alabama 100,
Texas 108 Virginia 100. Eight Cen
trail and Northwestern States show
nearly 1000 miles under contract or
construction.
Statistics of the new railroads built
in 1898 show . total OF 3O82.6 miles
OF track laid on 236 lines in 46 States
and Territories.

OUR DEBT RECORD.

In these days OF heavy national
expenditure, and when, in one form
or another, the national debt is ad-
vancing, it is worth while to look
back over our debt record. The be-
ginning of our national debt was in
1870, in the funding of the Cont
mental Congress debts and the as
sumption Of those incurred by the
States in the War for Independence.
It was, in round numbers, $75, 00O,-
600. In 1902 the debt had grown to
$86,00O,000 A year later it fell to
$77, 100000, and was raised by the
purchase Of Louisiana to $50, DOC, GOO
in 1904. A period of decrease then
set in, and year after year the debt
shrank steadily, till it was but $45,-
100000. The War of 1912 swelled
the debt enormously, and in 1916 it
amounted to s127,o 100000. As relat.
ed to the resources of the country,
this was great sum, but by 1885 it
had been paid to the last cent, save
$37, 900, of which evidence had been
lost or physically destroyed, and
which has never been called for to
this hour. The panic Of 1887 created
s10,000,000 OF new debt, after which
it went on rising and falling, never
reaching $70,Ooo,000, never SO little
as $4,000, 900, till 1861, when it was
900, 100000. The Civil War raised
it to the enormous total of $2,845,.
600, 900. OF this war debt about one
half has been paid. It is, of course,
too early to know what the Spanish
War and its consequences has added
to the debt roll.

this manager has spared neither pains

son Howards great play is more or less
familiar to the patrons of the theater,
number Of years. The scenes which the
play predicts are some of the most STIR
ring in American history, for they tell
the story of the great conflict of 81 and
'65, beginning with the bombardment OF
Fort Sumter and ending with the return
ing of the troops. At the end Of the
third act the acme of stage realism IS
reached. The battle of Cedar Creek,
with Sheridan at Winchester twenty
miles away, is refought upon the stage
with all of the accessories, the carnage
and the grim horrors attendant upon the
battle ITSELF. In Chicago the vast audi
ences which crowded McVicker's thea
ter during the run of the revival in that
city were carried off their feet by this
scene. Cavalry in squadrons, infantry
in companies and batteries of artillery
go to make up such an ensemble as is
seldom seen behind the footlights. Over
200 people are made use Of, and the scene
is more thrilling in its reality When
the fourth act begins, war is over. The

of the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. T. Rod
ney King. AS their welded life had been
one continuous honeymoon the date had
slipped their memory, but not that OF

ley engineered a surprise party for them.
They were gotten away from their cosy
home on St.. Anthony avenue on some
pretext and when they returned mum
Der of their friends were in possession.
They were greatly surprised, but accepted
the situation gracefully. The surprising
party came fully prepared to serve what
they facetiously termed a. Clutch lunch, !"
which proved to be one Of the finest ever
set on a: like occasion, which was hugely
enjoyed by all present. The evening was
spent in dancing and other social amuse-
ments and proved to be one of the most
delightful social functions Of the season.
