vessel afoat. He has been from the
beginning a towering figure in the ne
gotiations for the Alton road He has
just begun buying railroads in Ohio.
He has aroused the railroad world of
America and the financial worlds Of
America and Europe, for he has done
all this in less than six years, and
his ambition is to push his lines north,
east and west He is less than 40
years of age, the keenest OF financiers,
the boldest of projectors. He has rails
ed over S60,000,000 in the face OF pam
les and every opposition imaginable,
and spent it in his own enterprises,
and he is said to be by no means rich.
He was called a dreamer up to a year
or two ago; today he is admitted to be
a towering figure, whose plans aim at
the diversion of the products of the
West toward new outlets to Europe,
and the wrestling of vast traffic from
railroad lines which regard it as theirs
by right. This is Arthur E. Stillwell,
president of the Kansas City, Plttsburg
and Gulf railroad, and about fifty Of It's
allied enterprises.
How has man designated as i'm

Railroad people, while freely admit
ting he is factor that must be reckon

let it so at that. Some of St!llwelps

offer that talked for themselves. Still

BRISTLES WITH EVENTS.
An Explorer and Politician-His Services
to Science and Geography-Gallant
Conduct During the War With Spain
On Gen. WheeIcr's StaE.

William Astor Chanler, the newly
elected member of congress from the
Fourteenth district of New York, is
one of the most interesting men whom
the recent elections have brought con-
spicuously before the people of the
country. Although Mr.. Chanler Is
only 81 years of age he is already we'll
known as an explorer, as a soldier
and as politician. His father was
the late ]. w. Chanler, three times
elected to congress by the votes of
the citizens of New York. John Jacob
Astor was his great-great-grandfather,
and he therefore belongs to one of the
most aristocratic and socially impor-
tant families in America.
Young Chanler graduated from Har-
ward in 1887, receiving from the uni
versity the honorary degree Of A. M.

nearly all butter. he best butter that can be pro-
duced is as good Butterine. II isn't better. 1t

moment 1t comes from the churn. IL doesn't stay
so. Butter and Butterine remain on parity only
for few moments. The butter begins to deterio

Why do you not buy Butterine!
It's because you are preJudiced: You have Ibeen

hnown TO white men. For a long time
no news of the daring adventurers
reached the outside world, and when
rumors did come to the ears of the
traders along the coast they only con-
firmed the fears of Mr.. Chanler's
friends. 1t was reported In London
that the expedition had stranded at
Daitcho. The Geographical Society OF
London confirmed the report. Grave
fears were entertained shat Mr.. Chan
Ter would never reach the coast. But
in February of the following year, aft
er sustaining many hardships and be-
ing deserted by many Of his followers,
the explorer succeeded in reaching the
coast.
The expedition was not without re-
suits. Much valuable information was
added to the sum of knowledge Of the
interior of Africa. Mr.. Chanler had
discovered and mapped a region. hith-
erto unknown, equal in area to that of
Portugal. Mr.. Chanler was made
fellow of the Royal Geographical So
ciety of England and a member of the
Imperial and Royal Institute of Vienna.
as a recognition of his services to
science and geography. Returning to
America he wrote an exceedingly in
teresting account of his adventures
in a book, which he entitled
Through Jungle and Desert"
This was no small achievement for a
young man just out of college. but Mr..
Chanler did not rest on his laurels.

A Beauty of the Arctic.

There Is a beautiful bird called the
rosy gull, very few specimens of which
exist in any museum, and whose entire
life is spent in the immediate neigh
borhood of the eternal ice that sur
rounds the north pole. A paper de-
scribing these curious birds was read
at the recent meeting Of the American
Association in Boston by Mr.. John
Murdoch. They follow the advance of
the ice towards the south as winter
comes on, keeping near the loose edge
of the floating pack ice, and then re-
treat with it toward the north when
the summer sun begins to rise high
upon the Arctic circle. The bird is
small and of a deep rose color. whereas
all other Gulls are white.

Fifty-one Bridges forB. & O. r.. r..

One of the largest bridge contracts
that has been awarded in many years
has been let by the Receivers of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In Or
der to place the lines west of the Ohio
river in proper shape to handle the
heavy freight equipment that is being
used east of the river, the Receivers
found it necessary to rebuild 81 b!i1ges
between Benwood, w. ", and Chica-
go. That the structures might be rap
idly pushed to completion it was de-
cided to divide the work among three
companies. The Youngstown Bridge
Company, of Youngstown, will erect 81
bridges on the Central Ohio division
between the Ohio river and Newark,
Ohio; The Pencoyd Bridge Works was
awarded the II bridges on the Lake
Erie division. Newark to Sandusky,
and the Edge Moor Bridge Company,
of Wilmington, Del. will erect the 9
bridges needed on the Chicago division.
The total cost of these bridges is in
the neighborhood of 100000. and it is
expected that all W.T.; he in place by
September. Nearly six thousand tons
of steel will be needed for the struc-
lures.

Sick Room Hints,

All women, and particularly mothers,
should be familiar with some simple
remedies in case of sudden illness or
accidents. Frequently physician is
not to be had when he is most needed,
and a trained nurse is luxury which
cannot be afforded. The man or wom-
an who is cool-headed and equal to
any emergency is most useful and will
oftentimes save life before physician
can be secured.
In case of hemorrhages from the
lungs get the patient into sitting
posture, or at least bolster him up
with three or four pillows. Give small
bits of chopped ice frequently, and if
it does not nauseate, salt an water can
be used.
''Two great essentials in the treat
ment of hemorrhages, said q we'll
known physician lately, ''are perfect
quiet and the best of nourishment.
Nothing is easier digested or more
is made from the round of beetsteak.
Remove every particle of fat and cut
the beef into small pieces. Have a
spider, very hot, and lay two or three
of the small pieces i'll it, turning as
soon as it is scared over, place this in
o meat press, which can be had at any
drugstore for $1.50, and press out
every particle of juice, heat some
meat and repeat this until you have
two and half or three ounces of juice,
season sparingly with salt and warm
by placing it in an earthen bowl, set
in pan OF boiling water. Stir with a
teaspoon to prevent its coagulating,
when pleasantly warm, pour into
colored glass tumbler and let the pa
tient drink at once, 1t is not in the
least unpleasant to take, and pany
relish it very much. This should be
given several times day One nurse
prepares it midway between breakfast
and dinner, dinner anG supper, and
just before the patient goes to sleep at
night.
Next to beef juice comes milk and
cream. A patient who can drink free
ly of it is nourished better than one
who takes much larger amount of
other food. Eggs either soft or
boiled or scrambled, cream toast,
creamed or baked potatoes, baked ap-
Piles and plenty of canned and fresh
fruit will afford simple but nourish-
ing diet. No hot drinks should ever
be given a patient suffering with
hemorrhages, neither should stimu-
lants be given.

RISE OF A FINANCIER.

A new man has come out of the West
into the railroad world, a star of the
first magnitude, increasing in bril-
liancy every day. Ten years ago he
was life insurance solicitor in Chi
cago, and a poor one at that. Seven
years ago all he knew of railroad
was that it consisted of two tracks
on which trains ran. Today he han
dies scores of millions of American
and European money and controls and
operates over 1900 miles of trunk line
railroad, created by himself. and is
adding to 1t every day. He has linked
Kansas City with the Gulf of Mexico
by railroad as near an air line as 1t
can be, has turned north and reached
Omaha on his way to Manitoba, east
ward and reached Quincy en- route to
Chicago. He has built towns, founded
new industries. reclaimed tens of
thousands of acres of land to agricul-
ture, opened mines, established lines OF
steamers, and is digging ship canal

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.


If you want a pretty room without
expense to yourself, try the expert.
ment of decorating your walls with
the pictures cut from the newspapers.
Every day there are interesting scenes
from foreign lands, wonderful ships
and beautiful ladies. Cut them out
carefully and mount on squares of
rough gray paper. Without framing
these, tack them upon the walls in
irregular designs until nearly the
whole of the wall is covered. You will
be amazed to see how pretty and at
tractive your room is. A young lady
who decorated her room at a summer
resort in this way was delighted with
the results. Her only complaint was
that her friends looked at the pictures,
instead of visiting with her.-Phila-
