gone To answer for duty done here:
We see them slowly marching year
by year,
A lessening band, to that lone
camping ground,
Where their companions, in the days
that tried
Mems souls. have grounded arms
forever.
Ease has seldom been their portion;
bronzed by sun,
And bit by winters cold, they
bear the scars.
And blows Of envious time rs va

AS once they bore the buffetings of
war.
For them a nations Golfers have not
bIed,
To salve their wounds with gold;
but when worn out
With fatal victories, they left the
field
Where valor long had stove in
vain with might,
Like that great son of Rome, whose
conquering arm
Did ne iisdain to guide the plow,

heir swords. and asking aid OF noae

fiiied;-
The land their truitless valor could

Torn by LIES storms, and chilled
by numbing frosts
OF thankless years, they falter not.

not two or three, RejoieeS'
but 40, points at once. 1t will worm it's
way underground as whale dives at
sea. After burrowing along half a
mile, it will bob its head up to breathe.
In other words, true tunneling will al
ternate with open cuts, from which dirt
can be conveniently removed and brick
and cement sent down. After the dig
ging is done, the cuts will be filled up.
The dirt must nearly all be removed
several miles. The contractor must
own or control thousands of acres of
dumping ground. In another great
contract he has on hand, he is making
enough land by his dumping operations
to build homes upon for 10000 people.
Men who own low land at the waters
edge anywhere near New York will
dicker with him to get dirt.
As to methods: There's nothing new
in rock blasting. Dirt excavation will
be done altogether by power shovels-
steam nayvies or American devils.
Trucking will be done by steam loco
motives, hauling full freight trains of
dirt over well-laid railroad tracks. At
his 5,0OO,O 900 Jerome Park contract, Me-
Donald runs freight trains of 40 cars,
all loaded with dirt, for four miles at
20 miles an hour over his own railroad
to the dumping ground. The speed is
nm important element OF economy. On
ell surface work full-size locomotives
will be used. In the tunnels, wire con-
veyers will sometimes be found more
available, and construction tracks will
be narrow gauge.
Quicksand will probably be fought
by the freezing method. First you wet
it, If 1t happens to be dry. Then you
freeze 1t solid by the ammonia process,
or something akin TO it. Then you
quarry it out like rock. and before it
has time to melt the solid masonry of
the tunnel is built under It.
Another difficulty will be met In New
York's buried rivers-for considerable
streams are now entirely hidden under
the streets and blocks OF the city. They
bother builders a good deal. A tun-
mel maker must provide drainage for
them. or they will tear down his work.
Altogether. the undertaking will be
worth watching.

This Is the situation: Anna Gould's
share of her fathers estate was ubout
$15,0OO,oOO, varying somewhat with the
market price of stocks; but Cnstellane
did not have the handling OF all that
money. He got about one million as
dowry--as payment for title that
isn't worth-well, that isn't worth
much, II any, more than that OF the So
called Prince Cantacuzene, who mar
ried Julia Grant. The rest of the $751;
100000 was kept in the Gould lockers,
to be administered for Countess Annals
benefit by the family council, as is Gus
tomary in rich families. The income

but the Goulds object TO letting them
spend the principal.
The Castellanes have already spent
about three millions OF it, which they
have succeeded in inducing the family
council to advance. They have put $2,-
100000 into palace on the Champs
Elysees-literally palace, modelled up
on one of the Trianons. This pile Of
stone Is lying unfinished, because the
| funds gave out. The French press has
announced, too, that Count Boni has
accumulated about 100000 in gam
bling and stock market debts.

A Standard Among News
papers,.

papers.
Rejecting in its widening circulation
and increased advertising patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
of the new year The Pittsburg Times
more than ever impresses upon its
readers the excellence of its high
standard and the success of its efforts
to make model paper for the indi-
vidual and for the family. The Times
is newspaper, sparing no pains nor
expense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that its current page of his
tory may be complete, and in Its longer
range overlooking nothing that occurs
at home. 1t Is clean, dignified and re-
liable, certain that no lack of these
features can be made up in offensive
sensatlonalism. It can be taken into
the family circle with confidence that
its columns are filled with wholesome
instruction and entertainment. Wher-
ever known The Times is recognized
as the best type of a concise, crisp and
complete newspaper. and among news
paper men it is the publication with
which comparisons OF excellence are
made. While The Times is Republican
IN politics, it realizes that others have
right to be ON earth, and that poll
tics are not everything. When one
cent day will buy morning paper 1t
is foolish to be without one. The
Times is three dollars year or six
cents week, and worth the money.

securities few months ago brought
Whitney and his street car associates
Brady, Widener and others to their
senses. They surrendered upon the
Standard Oil terms. The fall in mar

That looks like enough, doesn't it.?
Well, it isn't all. Mr.. Whitney was q

the work. He is responsible for every
thing. II he digs mostly in soft earth,
his profits will be correspondingly
large; II he comes 10 battling quick
sands, they will swallow money with
startling rapidly. Miles of rock boring

the average man seem vast. He runs
for four years the risk of variations in
the labor market and in the price for
materials. A corner in brick or cement
might easily cost him a million.

proachable, modest, yet outspoken. He
is not a politician, though with poll
ticians he will have to deal. He is fairly
tall, rather lean, well set up. He has
piercing eye. He needs it to see
through 21 miles OF subterranean New
York. The task he has set himself is
the biggest thing of its kind ever un-
dertaken in an American city, except
the Chicago canal; and no one con-
tractor took the responsibility for that
entire Job.
1t is estimated that McDonald's profit
