RAILROADS UNDER WAY.
Estimate That 5000 Miles VIII he
Added This Year to the Ameri-
can Mileage.

According to the Railway Age, the
present year is likely TO see a great
revival of railroad building 1t esti-
mates that 5000 miles will be added
TO .he mileage of the United States,
which would be a greater record than
that of any year since 1890.
According TO the Railway Age, the
building of 5000 miles of railroad means
the investment of about $3.50, ,000,O 900 and
the permanent employment of 25,00e
men. Tables show that there are 500
new lines projected or under construc-
ton, with a total length of 40,563 miles.
OF these lines less than $500 miles of
railroad is in the New England or Mid
die states. In the southwestern states
there are 10 new roads under way with
a length of 1921 miles. The South At
lantic, Gulf and Mississippi Valley
states have an equal mileage of new
roads in prospect, the central northern
and northwestern states have nearly
5000 miles projected, and more than
1000 miles of railroads are to be built
in the Pacific states.
The 5000 miles of new track to be
built this year consists largely of ex-
tensions and links for the large western
systems. With these additions the rail
roads in operation in the United States
will be in the neighborhood of 192, 900
miles long, of total value of about $12,-
500,000,000, and employing a million
men in their operation.

If the American girl was as restricted
in her choice of a husband as the girl
of mountainous Switzerland she would
quickly emigrate from the land of lib

governing in some convenient section
of the globe.
Swiss maidens have wide and deep
courtship license. but in many Of the
cantons they are allowed but narrow
choice of bridegrooms, it being a rigor-
ously enforced, if unwritten, law that
they must marry youth of their own
neighborhood. In many villages every
marriageable youth belongs to a So
ciety whose sole object is TO prevent
any and every youth from outside from
coming accounting the maidens of the
society's village.
The society has password, frequent
ly changed-almost never divulged. a
lover of the Village, if challenged, gives
the password and it is an "open sesame"
through the on-guard ranks of the pro-
tective society.
He may climb and WOO uninterrupted,
undisturbed. But the lover from afar
must fight his way past the challenging
sentinels or use the shrewdest and most
successful stealth.

having escaped mortal injuries in an
attack which w. X. Vanderbilt Jr. IS new
$1,000 st. Bernard dog, Leo, made upon

Bellevue.
Young Mr.. Vanderbilt bought the
dog and ordered that it be sent. to the
Waldorf-Astoria. Leo is one year old,
of enormous size, with coat of beauti-
full deep tan, with black and white
markings. At the hotel the dog was
chained in the basement storeroom and
Traynor was told to look after it, An
hour after the dog had been fed Tray

Traynor says, the dog sprang at him,

Extension Of the systems nm Oppor-
tunity for Americans to Furnish
Necessary Supplies.

Victor Nelson, United States consul
at Bergen, reports TO the state depart
ment that the Norwegian government
has projected a large extension of its
railroad system, proposing TO expend
over $3,000,000 per annum for four
years in that direction. The consul
says that large amount of railroad
supplies will be required and he is will
ing to do anything in his power to aid
American manufacturers to secure con-
tracts. The spinning industry recently
established in Japan is not turning out
successfully, according to report to
the state department from United
States Consul Convey, at Yokohama.

SHE MADE THEM LAUGH.
And After That Everybody in the
Car Forgot to BE Cross and

1t was a crowded trolley car, filed
with moist, rain-soaked, tired men and
women, says the New York Mail and

standing passengers water dripped on
the feet of the monopolists in the seats.

THE PLATFORM WOMAN.

afford TO listen to these parasites of

woman's influence is steadily on the
wane. She was never power. She was
never even picturesque. Her worst in

women who for the time she deluded.
But even with them she was soon re-

An Old Conjurer's Trick THAT In Now
Put tn Good Use In the Ma
chine shop.

To bold down TO lecture platform q
tro-magnet underneath. out of sight,
and thus appear to multiply its weight
many times over at will-to make ii
impossible even to lift the object in
question, providing the magnet be pow
erful enough-is an old conjurer's trick
which has served on many occasions to
mystify the public, says Cassier's Maga-
zine.
Its principle, however, has been ap-
piled to several more useful purposes,
and one of these, of recent date. is en-
bodied in a magnetic chuck for mis-
cellaneous work, for surface grinding,
principally, but adapted also for the
planer or the lathe.
The magnetic effect in this chuck is
produced by an electro current circulat-
ing in a coil in the interior of the de-
vice. and, as this coil is wound, pref
erably, for 10 volts. the needed cur
rent can be taken from any regular
electric lighting main in or about a
shop. The convenience of the device,
especially for small work. is obvious.
A magnetic holder for an electric
incandescent lamp is another electric
shop convenience. The holder is sim
ply a lamp socket containing small
electric magnet. which will make the
whole contrivance stick to any piece of
iron or steel with which it may be
brought in contact.
The coil through which the magnet
is energized is within the base of the
holder. and the lamp current supply
ing the energy passes through it on its
way to the lamp.

CHINESE ARROGANCE.
The MOngOlians nt Home Relieve All
Foreigners to BE "a Sort OF
Savages.

1t is not realized in England how
proud, indeed, arrogant, the Chinese
are, says St. James Gazette. The idea
that any other race is equal to their
own is one that cannot find place in
their brains. They believe all foreign
ers to be a sort of savages.
y They look at European men and wom-
en- mixing together and believe that
these savages have no morals, but live
in a rough sort of promiscuity. They
look at our dress, our men with short
coats and neither garments showing
their two-legged forms, our women
actually clearly indicating their waists
and much of the outline of their figure,
and they believe we are without de-
cency. They do not see us observing
their ceremonial and they believe we
are without manners.
A recent minister, accredited to Ger
many, was talking to Sir Robert Hart
before leaving Peking, and on the lat
ter's regretting his lonely condition
without his wife, said to him: "Ah, but,
of course, you have a number two" Sir
Robert proceeded to explain that such
a course was impossible 10 him, as
it would make his wife very angry and
indeed arouse the sovereign displeas-
ure of his queen. The Chinese diploma
tist patted him good-humoredly on the
shoulder, saying: Let us hope by
longer intercourse with us you may be-
come more civilized

SCHOOL FOR DUMMY LOVERS.
The Remarkable Discovery by Ber-
lin journal Regarding ways
of Americans.

The Chronik der Zeit, Of Berlin, has
made most remarkable discovery con-
cerning the ways Of Americans. We
are accused of harboring a school for
turning out dummy lovers"
There is q new occupation for young
men of pleasant appearance and man
ners and educated for the purpose in
the land of the dollar" says the Berlin
journal The daughters of American
milionaires, being of eccentric and Of
ten of a romantic turn of mind, in many
instances show tendency to favor the
suit of some college bred but impecuni-
Gus young man.
This, of course, gives any amount of
worry TO papa, who, if he does not sue
ceed in turning his daughters mind by
sensible and financial views expressed,
resorts to the novel scheme of taking
her for tour on the continent for the
sake of her health And it is here
where the services of the dummy are
enlisted.
"A bright and handsome young man
is selected from the school that prepares
them, and he accompanies the family
party in the capacity of travelling COM
panion. He plays the part of the man
of the world and in his society the
young woman soon forgets her poor
Jack or Jim.
"Just as soon as the foxy parent sees
that the cure works the young man re-
ceives his pay, and is suddenly asked TO
disappear, and then the rightful choice
of papa appears on the scene. This
may be a nobleman or wealthy finan-
cier, or any one in whom the old gem
tleman has perfect confidence that his
reputation will not be injured finan-
cially."

NOT UNREASONABLE.
Porto Ricals Want Only What
United Safes Can Grant.
Take Pride I'm Their New Nationality
-EnrnestIy Desire Civil Govern
ment-PrOminent CitiEens Of
Island iH This Country.

Senor Munoz Rivera, prominent
Porto Rican, who has just arrived in
New York from the island, talked free
ly concerning financial and CONNER
cial conditions on the island, where
he owns and directs several newspa-
pers. He said:
81 come to the United States as one
of the leaders of the greater. and more
influential party of the island-the liO~
eral party. Besides, / stand for tie
agriculturists, who represent a large
amount of capital and labor.
"The financial condition of Porto
Rico," he said, sis both difficult and
painful at present. After the war, to-
bacco, which is one of Porto Rico's chief
productions, lost its market, which was
in Cuba and Spain, so that the whole
crop is stored and production has been
stopped throughout the regions which
were devoted TO raising the rich leaf,
the misery growing out of these con-
ditions causing conflicts which it is
necessary to avoid.
Regarding the production of sugar,
the same may be said. The owners of
sugar estates can scarcely make their
expenses, although labor is cheap and
abundant in the island.
'Sugar pays in the United States a
duty of $1.6S a hundred pounds, and,
although congress alone can reduce or
annul this duty, agriculturists in Porto
Rico would be glad if President Nc
Kinley should reduce this duty % per
cent, according to the right given him
by the federal constitution"
With regard to the political situation
of the island, Senor Rivera was reticent.
He will submit his views to President
Mckinley before making any public
statement He says, however, that the
earnest wish of the Porto Ricans is to
have a civil government.
Senior Rivera says that the Porto
Ricans believe in Americans, and trust
in their love of liberty and democracy.
The Porto Ricans, he said, have accept
ed with pride and pleasure their new
nationality, and will never ask for any
thing inconsistent with the interests of
the United States.

A handsome and stylishly clad young
woman boarded Broadway car at For
ty-second street on Saturday. She was
followed by young man. The lady
flounced hanghtily to seat. The
young man calmly seated himself be-
side her, and after a few moments
turned to her and smiled blandly. She
merely turned away, says the New York
Times.
After a pause of several minutes, dur
ing which everyone in the car watched
closely, he turned again with a smile,
and this time spoke few words in a
low voice. She colored and turned
haughtily away from him. AT this. "a
rather elderly man, who sat opposite,
and who had been taking it all in and
fidgeting considerably, felt called upon
to interfere. Addressing the conductor,
he said:

obliged to go about the city alone, and
