The blades of these Sabers are made
from magnetic iron ores. The steel Is

OF them to the end OF an iron rod which

10 all Persons having Farming, Tim

ter Powers for Sale.

The Nashville, Chattanooga 4 st.
Louis Railway proposes to use its best
efforts to induce q good class of immi-
grants to settle in territory contiguous
toits lines, and to engage the attention
of capitalists seeking Manufacturing
Sites or Mining Property. 1t therefore
solicits the support, the cooperation
and the assistance of the people of every
county through which its line pass.
The management earnestly requests
that all parties who have farms for sale
or lease, those who have timbered lands
water powers or mineral lands for sale,

giving the prices and terms of sale. The
prices must correspond with the prices
asked of local buyers The manage
ment does not propose to aid in selling
land to immigrants atexorbitant prices.
Large tracts suitable for colonization,
at low prices, are especially wanted.

The opening of government
lands in Oklahoma has been a
fruitful source of lumber orders
for the southwestern states. Firms
in Beaumont, Texas, alone have
furnished probably more than 200
car loads of lumber from the ter
ritory, while orders from Texas
are numerous, calling for a large
amount of planer stock, flooring,
ceiling, siding etc. This demand
is the greatest in many years and
is caused, apparently, by the ex-
tensive building operations in the
cities and villages of Texas. IA.

In Georgia there is no use in
trying to evade the fact that the
raising of funds for the payment
of pensions and supporting the
public schools is a problem worthy
of thoughtful consideration. Al
though she has borrowed 100000,
the state is still in debt to the
school teachers, and they are not
paid monthly, as the legislature
provided. Nor has the new class
of pensions been paid. How to
raise funds to meet these large
and growing obligations, without
increasing the burden of taxation,
which already rests heavily upon
the masses, is as yet an unsolved
problem.-Columbus Ledger.

AMERICAN
ENGINES.

The latest attack on the work Of Amer
lean locomotive and bridgebuilders made
| by Sir Alfred Hickman, member Of the
| Bri ish House OF Commons, Is at racting
! considerable attention from men interest
| ed in those industries. Especially is it Of
interest as IL is directed principally against
two Of Philadelphia's largest industsie,-
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the
Pencoyd Iron Works, the latter being
now part of the Anne. lean Bridge Com
pany.
Sir Alfrel's attack was made in reply
to letter written by Lord George Ham
ilton. Secretary of State for India, in re-
sponse to a criticism on American loco.
motives and bridges, made in the House
OF Commons by Sir Alfred. In his reply
Lord Hamilton strongly commended
American methods so far as they related
to the articles in question aud strongly
pointed out the shortcomings OF British
manufacturers. Officials of both the
Baldwin and Pencoyd works decline to
comment on Sir AIfred's attack but d
gentleman thoroughly familiar with the
situation yesterday expressed his views On
the criticism as follows:
British manufacturers are being be-
rated ON all sides by the press and Others
for the decadencs iu the manufacturing
interests OF that country that is 80 appar
ent. Sir Alfred Hickman, who is or was
president of tho British Iron Trade Asso
citation, feels aggrieved at'these n,imer
Gus criticisms OF his homo people, and
what more natural ihan that he should
defend himself and he large manufact-
uring Interests which no represents as
attorney for the British manufacturers.
and what he says you would naturally
expect him to say, even though his state
lnants are not tue"
Concerning the charge that the con
sumption of coal by tho American en-
gines in India Ia 35.5 per cent more for
each train mile and 23 8 per. cent more
per vehicle for each milo tnan Bri tish-
built locomotives. tho gentleman said;
"These figures are not corroborated, and
by figures furnished by an American en-
glneer IN India, in whom have explicit
confidence, the comparison in coal con
sumption is decidedly in favor OF the
American locomotive.
Lord Hamilton himself says there are
roads in India that want American Gu
gnes and if what SIR Alfred Hickman
says OF them is correct, is it at all reason
able to suppose that railroad otllclaisin
that or any other country, who have
been able to judge OF the merits of tho
two locomotives by actual experience,
should prefer an Americ8n engine to one
manufactured in their own country.
Patriotism alone, II no other sentiment
should deter him from going abroad for a
locomotive inferior TO one manufactured
his OWn country.

the winner.
The conditions Of the race We're as
follows:
The Derby stakes Of G,000 sovpr-
eigns, by subscription of so sovereigns
each for 3-year-olds. the nominator Of
the winner to receive 500 soverelgns,
the owner of the second horse 300 SOW
ereigns and the owner of the third 200
sovercigns out of the stakes about one
mile and half.
There were 279 subscribers.
Thousands Saw the Race.
Although it was clear that the war
in South Africa still keeps many habl-
tues away, the contest was witnessed
by much greater crowds than for some
years past. The weather was all that
could be wished for this, the peoples
picnic. The vehicles first rolled in by
twos and threes and then by dozens
and scores until the white road leading
to the downs smoked with the dust Of
the vast, heterogeneous cavalcade and
the air was filled with weird medley
from tin trumpets, barrel organs and
cornets.
The trains brought thousands of peo-
pie from all directions, and later came
the coaches and carriages, dropping
their aristocratic occupants at the en-
frances of the grand stand and jockey
club inclosure until these were filed.
Such a display Of fashion and bright
colors had not been seen in England
since the outbreak Of the war. Many
old and well known patrons Of the turf
were seen, though such favorites as
King Edward and Lord Rosebcry were
necessarily absent. Khaki was even
more conspicuous than last year, when
the popular victory of the then Prince
of Wales Diamond jubilee was coin
cident with Lord Roberts entry into
Johannesburg.
Although the Derby was won by an
American. the winning horse was Eng.
