NINETY NEW LOCOMOTIVES.

Cornelius Vanderbilt's Views on the
 Centraps Partial Use of His Inven- tion.
 | New York, Nov. 21.-Ninety new To- New York Central and Hudson River
 railroad out of the proceeds from the
 recent increase of s1500O,O0O in the Gen. tral,s stock. Five of these new engines are to be built after the design recently
 invented by Cornelius Vanderbilt and
 tested by him on the Mohawk division of the road for nearly three months. The new feature of young Vanderblts engine is a cylindrical, corrugated fire box, which, besides being easier to at tach and cheaper to repair gives more heating surface and steams easier than the old elliptical type of fire-box.
 ''The engine has proved so satsfac- tory" said MT. Vanderbilt to-day, that five have been ordered by the company to be put into the regular service. Of course, 1t is impossible to say whether it will ultimately be more successful than the old type, and the only way to find out definitely is to wait until it wears out, keeping continuous record of the expenses for repairs operation and fuel Then if 1t is found to have been less expensive on the whole than an old-style engine of similar power it will naturally supplant the old type.
 After a few months little expense bills begin to run against an engine, though it does not usually require an overhaulng at the shops until it has been run q year. So far as VIC have been able to judge from tests, the new engine is more economical in the mat ter of fuel than the old style and there have been practically no repairs requir- cd. These considerations have led the officers to order five more of the new kind, two of which are to be built at the Baldwin shops and three at Sche- in the company's shops"

scraps of food thrown overheard by the

grabbed 1t by the neck. After a short fight
the rat succeeded in killing the bird. When

Washington people going to Colonial
Beach should not fail to visit the Salt Air
Home, better known as the Bell Home"
and so called in honor of Prof. Melville
Bell, who is well and highly known in
this city, and whose benefactions to the
home are so much appreciated. This inst-
tuition is the outgrowth OF desire Of Ms.
w. G. Davenport, wife of the Rev. w. q.
Davenport, rector OF Emmanuel +.
Church, Anacostia, to give a summer out
ing to poor children. This noble and Chris
tian-hearted woman, with amiable quail
ties of heart and mind, determined of pur-
pose, with abundant grit, practical in her
methods, unaided, started her charitable
work in 1894, and since has kept at it, I'M
daunted by the drawbacks confronting her.
The home is pleasantly situated in the
southwestern part of the settlement. 1t
can be singled out in day time by "old
glory flying at the tall flag pole, or at
night by the lantern which takes its place.
From the dome of the large frame structure
can be had quite pleasant view of the sur
rounding country. The big porch running
around the building gives coziness to the
place, and the happy little ones find its
shady hooks agreeable. The spacious
grounds give the children play ground
that would cause envy in the hearts Of
others not so fortunate.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, August l.
The democratic county convention was call
ed to order here at noon today. Five dele
gates from each of the fifteen districts We're
in attendance. Politicians are here from
all parts of the county, many of them hav-
ing arrived yesterday. The wire pullers
were on hand early and canvassing for the
candidates was rather lively. While there
will be no contests for some of the minor
county offices, some spirited fights will be
Waged for the more important ones.
1t is believed that the convention will
not end its labors this afternoon. There are
more candidates in the field than there
have been for many. years past, and the re-
suit of the voting on some of the candi-
dates will not be known until the votes are
actually counted Saturdays primaries in
the county surprised some of the old poll
ticians, who have had things pretty much
their own way for long time past. In
this district where it has been the custom
to meet and select the delegates suggested
by certain leaders. there was departure
from the rule The slate was presented, as
usual. but it did not go through Other
people in the meeting took part and the
delegates were selected only after one of
the most spirited contests in the history of
county politics. Men who are anxious to
serve the county in the different offices are
more numerous than are the delegates.
There are many republicans in town today
watching the actions of the democrats. Two
sets of delegates will present themselves as
entitled to admission from this district, and
the action of the convention in seating one
set and throwing out the other may have a
serious effect on the campaign that will
follow the nominations.

To listen to Mrs. Davenport's story of the
origin of the home would make many
man offer her his nickel intended for
cigar, or woman her coin which she had
in mind to lay out for a small personal
want. This charity, which means home
for the poor or the frieudless child, sick or
WELL whether Jew or Gentle, appeals to
all. and days outing at the home would
give stronger argument in its behalf than
all the personal appeals
There is a chance here for the establish
ment of memorials The small sum of $50
would fit up room. Many family break
ing up housekeeping could readily give to
the home articles of furniture or of house
hold that would go far to the comfort
of the inmates. A few hundred dollars
would fit up a cheap gymnasium and play
room for the boys and girls, so much need
ed now, as the family of young ones has
grown rapidly in numbers. A chance is
also afforded any one so benevolently in
clined to build house for boys. There is
need for such building There being so
many applicants for admission to the home
and so many cases where children. are
found to be homeless, that the time for
some to show spirit of sympathy for
these wards of the city's charity has come,
and the generous people of Washington
only wait to be told the tale of the wants
of a noble Christian work when the re-
Spouse will come freely and fully to the
cal
