A Grcof EnferprfseI

James P. Mcdonald, New York
contractor, is the man selected to be
at the head of the great engineering
enterprise of building railroad across
the Andees from Guyaquil to Quito,
Mr. McDonald's experience In rail-
road building has been wide and va
lried. Many thousand ties have been
laid and many hundred miles Of steel
rails fastened under his supervision.
Born in New York, he prepared for col
Ilege in the south, and finally took his
degree from the University of Ten
nessee. The road from Guyaquil to
Quito, which he is now engineering, Is
to be but 800 miles long but the dif-
1culties in the way make the task one
requiring unusual perseverance and
knowledge, and involving enormous
Expense. Fully $25.OOO,O00 will be re-
,quired to carry this great project to
conclusion. Stone work and masonry
that 1t is necessary to use to great
iextent are largely responsible for this
heavy outlay. At many points along
the route the road bed will reach an
elevation of 1900 to $4,000 feet above
the sea level. Though there are at
present but 1900 men pushing the
work forward, this number will soon
be sweled by 5000 native Jamaicans,
with whom Mr. Mcdonald is now con-
tracing. Sixty-fve hundred half-clad
natives dh.gently plying AK. hammer.

located in Group XIII, Glass 70. at the
Paris international Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
ing-Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction. efficiency and
for remarkable Development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action OF
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago.
where Singer machines received 54
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should it be possible that any OF
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, We would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found in all cities and most
towns in the United States"

ton of her marriage with Edward
Passo, a ranchman at San Angelo, Tex.
They met for the first time in San
Angelo a year ago and the rich and
lonely ranchman fell in love with Miss
Mulkey. He showered her with pres
ents and attentions. She returned to
Metropolis and Passo followed with
frequent visits. One day they made
a secret visit to Paudcah, KY, and
were married.
In short time the bride awakened
to the fact that she had made a great
mistake. But she said nothing at the
time, and her husband went back to
his ranch and built splendid house
for his bride.
Letters passed secretly between the

In Colorado, Wyoming and Utah
there seems to be prevailing indif-
ference as to the election and Its is
sues. The novelty has worn off, and
it is estimated that not more than half
of the qualified women voters will go
to the polIs this year. Two things.
however, the admission of women to
the suffrage is given credit for &C.
complishing. The first is quiet and
order at and about the voting booths.
and the second is a higher standard
of personal decency among the candi-
dates of all parties. Political bosses
claim that the women voters are actu-
ated by sentiment rather than by rea-
son. and that therefore they make 1t
hard to predict the outcome of an elec-
