RAILROAD MAPS OF AMERICA.
One Department where the Supremacy
of the United states Is Marked.

One Department Whore the Supremacy
of the United states Is Marked.
One marked effect Of the progress
of American arms, the extension 0f
American supremacy in other lands
and the expansion Of the foreign mar
ket for American goods has been
more general demand for maps or for
aign countries. Heretofore map max
ing for general and not for technical
)r typographical requirements has
been a feature Of the publishing busi-
uess Of the United States and in
cheap, accurate, portable, uptO-date
ana comprehensive railroad maps che
United States has long been at the
head of all countries.
The process of railroad map making
is not so simple as might at first ap-
pear. The map maker takes a fiat cop
per plate and smokes the face by con
tact with the fame from gas burner.
! Then he covers it with a composition
of wax ard gum. 10 make the cOmpO-
ston even over its surface the plate
is heated and it is then ready to re-
celve Il transfer of the draughtsman's
work ON tracing paper. The back Of
the paper is covered lightly with chalk
and this chalked surface is laid upon
the wax composition which covers the
/ copper plate Then the eIgraver with
n steel pencil goes over the lines Of
drawing. AS the steel point moves
over the paper the drawing is copied
on the composition.
The engraver then goes over the
| chalk lines, cutting out the wax COM
| position. and the next feature Of the
work the marking upon it Of the
names Of the cities and stations and
the typographical symbols used in map
making, such as a circle for the coun-
ty seat a circle with n Maltese cross
In the centre for the State capital, and
an asterisll for steamboat connections.
These typographical marks are made
with ordinary type, which fit into
| hand stamp
The name of each place, in what
eyeY form Of type is desired, is
stamped upon the soft surface Of the
composition layer and when there has
been completed by this process a copy
Of the drawing, a copper electrotype
Of it is made from which the map is
printed.
There are fully 800 railroad compa-
MES in the United States requiring
maps of their line or system, as the
case may be, for distribution. Some
Of these maps are for advertisements;
some are circulated for the conve-
nience Of travellers and contain on one
side time tables; some are framed at
/ railroad stations; others are sent to.
| hotels others are in demand by drum
mers, shippers and freight agents, and
| still others are sent abroad.
Compared with the clumsy, eXpen-
sive, often misleading and always un-
satisfactory railroad maps Of other
countries. and especially those pub
/ lished on the continent Of Europe, the
supremacy Of the American maps il

No State has so many newspapers

rural postoffices make a better show
Jag than those Of the Red River Val

pauperism, it is almost another case

sus Of 1890 shows that there were
ninety prisoners in her jails, none

Twenty-One Years Ago the Prince I'm
perial Was Slain by Zulus. q
It is q years ago that General Bull
Ter, then a colonel commanding
detachment Of the Frontier Light
Horse, saw one day, as he was stroll
ing leisurely near his camp in Zulu
land, four men galloping wildly to-
ward him. The foremost horseman
was Lieutenant Carey, the three 9th
ers his escort, They brought the
news that prince imperial OF France
had been killed by the Zulus. Butler
sent the cavalry brigade at daylight
the next morning to recover the body.
When they came to the place where
Carey and his men had been sur
prised by the natives they found the
horribly mutilated body Of a uead
trooper. and a few yards further on
the body of the prince, He had the
marks Of many spear thrusts in mis-
body, but was not mutilated in any
way. Round his neck was a thin gold
chain, and slung upon 1t was minia-
ture of his mother, ex-Empress Eu-
genie, and a tiny gold reliquary con-
tanning a fragment Of the true cross.
The relic was given by Pope Leo III
to Charlemagne on the day when he
crowned the great Fcankish lord en-
peror of the west Since then dynasty
after dynasty Of French monarchs
had worn that scrap Of gold and wood
as a talisman. And as 2 talisman the
HGlus regarded it, and they stayed
their savage hands above tue poor
slain lad Utica Globe.

Opening of Season.

American plays by American au-
thors should ever be interesting events
in "a community where Americanism
is a dominant characteristic. In pre-
senting ''The Flaming trrow.n by
Lincoln j. Carter, the American au-
thor, at the Concordia Opera house
next Sunday, theatre goers will have a
chance to see an art creation worthy
of the sort. The characters are deft-
ly and strongly chosen. White Eagle.
the young Rapahoe, is as good type
of civilized Indian as the stage has
seen this generation. His father,
Black Eagle, represents that scion of
the brave and fearless but not the less
belIv5d Indian whose astuteness and
faith u.ness were recognized and re-
warded by the United States govern
pent. Colonel Fremont represents
the fine old type Of active soldier, his
daughter Mary a womanly maiden
whose bravery and love for truthful
ness are characteristic of American
women. Such are few of the prom
inent characters the author has happi-
ly chosen as representative, together
with a rascally Mexican, a treachel :
Gus lieutenant of cavalry, fun loving
negro and witty Irishman. A tribe
Of Six Nations Indians from their wild
ard picturesque homes in native cos
tunes and war head dress, adds
genuineness and attractiveness to one
OF the prettiest word paintings ever
on any stage.
