business Of the city has grown enor-

meet the requirements as they arose
The population OF the city of Philadel-
phia at the time of the beginning OF
the construction of the city hall, the
original commission TO supervise which
was provided for by an act of the Har-
risburg legislature in August, 1870,
was $4,000. At which time the various
public departments which are now pro-
yided for in the city hall occupied fifty
two offices, whereas the present mum
Der Of offices occupied is 143, showing
the growth of municipal business in the
meanwhile, the present population OF
Philadelphia, 100000, being nearly
double what it was when the con-
struction of the city hall was first I'M
dertaken. Last years appropriation
for the city hall was $1,000,00O and
other work upon it will require. it is
estimated, 100000 additional. Jan. !,
1899, this was the comparison between
the Albany capitol and the Philadelphia

The Albany public building. it will be
observed, is somewhat ahead in the
amount expended, but OUTLAWS upon j.
have practically ceased, whereas the
Philadelphia city hall is not yet COM
pleted and probably before the begin

the sum expended by New York for its
state capitol. Unlike the Albany struc-

BABY RAN THE LOCOMOTIVE.
Three Year-Old's Trip Alone on an
Engine Running Wild.

Il can run an engine like papa"
said little 3-year-old Fred Evans as he
was lifted down from the locomotive
of the st. Johns motor line yesterday il;
Albina. He had mounted the engine at
St Johns, pulled open the throttle aud
remained on the seat alone on a mad
ride of seven miles The young engi-
neer Is. son of W. b. Evans, of St
Johns, an engineer on the motor line
He had often been on the engine, and
his father had explained to him how
the lever Is pulled and the wheels
started moving
The engine lies over an hour at ST
Johns, just by the water tank, and
during this time, while Mr. Evans was
at home at lunch, little Fred walked
down to the engine mounted the seat
and opened the throttle wide The ma.
chine was full of coal and water, and
was ready for the road Several peo-
pie saw the boy start, but no one was
near enough to catch the engine The
news was at once told to Mr.. Evans
and he reached the track just in time
to see the locomotive, with his boy on
board, disappear around a curve The
father was wild with grief and fear
and the boys mother was almost pros
trated The news spread like wild
fire, and the whole town turned out,
Excitement was intense, women and
children cried and men offered sugges.
lions. Master Mechanic Michael F.
Brady was at that end of the line and
at once began to telephone to stations
along the line. Portsmouth and PENN
sular were notified, and men at these
points tried to board the engine as il
dashed by, but it's speed was too great.
Mr.. Brady also notified the office at Al
blna, and party of men ran out the
line northward to meet the wind en-
CINE. In coming up the long grade
toward Albina, the steam had died
down little, but the register still
showed 80 pounds, John Woods,
motorman on the City and Suburban
Railway, was the first man to meet the
engine. He caught the hand rail and
swung up, and in doing so he was
dragged sixty or seventy-fye feet He
at once turned off the steam, and the
engine slowed down and stopped. 1t
was then young Fred made the remark
concerning his ability as an engine
driver
The boy was not scared at all, but
seemed rather proud of his feat When
the engine first dashed out of St.
Johns he was frightened, and as he
came through Portsmouth like q shot
out OF gun he was yelling Justify for
mamma" After coming several
miles, however, he again became brave
and held his position on the seat with
like a veteran.
The engine was stopped in front OF
the home of DR.. Davis, on Commercial
street and was quickly run back to St,
John by Mr. Woods, with the boy Fred
still on board. Mr. Woods said his sue
cess in boarding the engine was sur
prise to him, as we'll as to every one
else, as its speed was still consider
able. The engine had made the run
from st. John to Albina in less than
half an hour.
In the meantime the news of the res
cue had been sent by telephone to the
frightened parents, and for the re-
mainder OF the day there was great
joy in all St. Johns, Morning Oregon

A GREAT PENSION STATE.
Indiana Leads in the Amount of Money
Received per Capita

Indiana takes the lead as pension
state. The annual statement of the
pension department has just been is
sued. In round numbers the states
drawing the highest pensions are Ohio,
with $15,000000; Pennsylvania, S12-
100000; New York, $4,000 900; Indi-
ana, $10,000,000, and Illinois. SO ,000, 900.
Indiana has $4,000 pensioners, who
draw an average pension of fraction
over Sl60 per annum. In the list Indi-
ana has 225 veterans of the civil war
who are drawing the limit OF ST. a
month, and seventy veterans Of the
civil war and one of the Mexican war
who were drawing S. a month. dn
number of pensioners and number of
high pensioners in the average for all
in the state, Indiana leads any other
state in the union by broad margin
Indiana, with a population 10000 less
than that of Massachusetts, by the cen
slls OF 1890, receives in pensions $l0,-
$4,000 annually, while Massachusetts
gets but $5,420,000 Similar compari-
sons will show that Indiana is the
greatest pension state in the union ac-
cording to her population.
Commissioner Evans has analysed
the pension apportionment BY congress
sional districts, and that makes a very
fair basis of comparison. On this basis
Indiana shows clear lead, while Kan
sas comes in good second The Indi-
ana pensions run $500 600 per district
Kansas $775,000. Among the states at
the front are Missouri with s44S,000
New Jersey with $4,000 and New
York with $352,000 per district. Mas
sachusetts averages SAT- 900 per dis
trict. The average pensions in the i've
leading states are $3.50 in Ohio sips in
Pennsylvania, s142 in New York $3.50
in Indiana and STAG in Illinois. Though
there Is a difference of s14 average be-
tween Indiana and Illinois, there are
over 5000 more pensioners in that
state. The difference in average. how
ever, gives Indiana pensioners $50 600
more per annum. Though Ohio ranks
first as pension state, still, like Iii
nois, on basis of population and pen
sioners. il ranks below Indiana.
Indiana WAS one of the states putting
the greatest number of men into the
field. Among the states of the union il
stood fifth, with New York, Pennsyl-
yania Ohio and Missouri following

TWO EXPENSIVE BUILDINGS.
Rivalry in Cost Between Albany and
Philadelphia.

New Works elaborate capitol in
Albany is built on land the first pur-
chase for which was made in 1863 at an
expense OF $51 900 Other land was ac-
CURED as needed between 1863 and
1865, when the first appropriation for
construction was made, and in 1870 ad-
ditional land to the value of nearly
100000 was purchased, and thereafter
the work of construction went on. Jan.
!. 1879, eight years after the laying of
the corner stone, the present capitol
was occupied, but work in it has been
continued since as the eNIgencies Of the
legislature and the public Offices re-
CURED.
According to Comptroller Roberts
report made to the last legislature, the
total cost OF the state capitol up TO Jan.
!, 1899. was S24.244, 102, and of this sum
$543. l79 was for the purchase Of land
and the balance for construction, labor,
supplies and interior finishings and
decorations. The Albany capitol is

entailed an enormous expenditure OF
public money.
Buildings constructed through lesis-
lation AMI subject to labor regulations
which are onerous to the state often
are unduly expensive, but it is not an
exceptional building in this regard,
Albany has rival in the city OF Phil
adelphia, the city hall Of which has
cost nearly a much as the Albany cap

cost considerably more. The official
architect recently submitted to the pub

Why in 4 loved ones face

But the desert Is not selfish
