PLAN FOR GREAT TUNNEL.
Would Do Away With the Famous Horse
Shoe Curve, at Altoona.

W. H. Brown, chief engineer of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has
recommended the construction of
tunnel on the main line west of Altoo-
ma to point west of Cresson. The
contemplated straight line under the
mountain is seven miles. Almost
twice the distance will be saved and
steep grades east and west, will be
avoided.
The hardest climb on the mountain
division of the road is west of the
curve and east of Cresson. Between
these points is the summit, the lofti-
est point on the Alleghanies. While
some of the most picturesque portions
of the road will be sacrificed, the gain
in mileage aud grade will more than
compensate that loss. The PROPOSE
ton of the chief engineer is said to
have received favorable consideration
by the company's officers.

Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram,
Lord Bishop of London, contributes an
interesting paper to the November
number of the Cosmopolitan on "The
overcrowding of great cities and the
remedy for it." Apropos of the dis
cussion of the invasion of England by
Americans, Edmund Gosse furnishes
in the same number an essay scoring
Englishmen for their narrowness Of
intellect. Incidentally he has hit al
American intellectual life in the twen-

Spreads Like Wildfire.

When things are "the best" they
become "the best selling" Abraham
Hare, leading druggist of Belleville,
O., writes: electric Bitters are the
best selling bitters have handled in
20 years." You know why? Most
diseases begin in disorders of stomach,
liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and
nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the
stomach, regulates liver, kidneys and
bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens
the nerves, hence cures multitudes oi
maladies. 1t builds up the entire sys-
tenn. Puts new life and vigor into any
weak, sickly, rundown man or woman

DEMAND FOR TRANSPORTATION
Great Rlilway Companies and Nav gatiOn
Lines are Placing Large Orders.

The very heavy orders placed by the
great railway companies for new loco
motives, cars and rails indicate con-
fident assurance of the future demand
upon transportation facilities. What
is true of land carriage is equally true
of sea carriage. The shipyards are
just as busy in turning out ships as
the mills and manufactures are in fill
ing orders for railway equipment.
When it is remembered that the men
who are engaged in managing the
transportation interests of this coun-
try are business men of the widest
training and experience, the heavy in
vestments of capital they are putting
into rails and ships must be accepted
as the best proof of their confidence ii
the continued prosperity of the coun
try. They may be over confident and
may be obliged to take in sail later on
but there are at present no premonl
tions of disaster. President McKin
ley, in speaking of the unexample'
prosperity of the country in his las
and famous address at Buffalo did no
exaggerate when he said that the fig
ures were almost appalling.
