HOW RAILROADS WERE BORN.
First Ideas in This Country Received
from Tramways OF Eu-
rome.

Railways made of massive stone
blocks laid parallel and smoothed on
the surface for the use Of wheels are
almost as old as wheeled vehicles them
selves. From that ancient origin were
evolved the steel tracks of to-day. A
careful search would probably reveal
the remains of stone tramways in vari-
GUS lands, beginning with the crude
ones of ancient Egypt and continuing
in an improving line down to those Of
modern enterprise. ! have examined
ways Of the early kind in Italian cities.
and the native engineers said that
they have been used from time immem-
mortal. In various parts of Germany
they were used in connection with the
coal mines, and from them the idea
and the name, "tram," were carried te
| England in the seventeenth century.
The wretched roads of England, due to
the moist climate, made the tramways
a great convenience to the owners oi
coal mines, says Angus Sinclair, in Sue
cess.
Soon the scientific societies got tc
discussing the details of tramway
construction, and by that means the
people of America learned that The
prevailing want of roads might be rem
edied by the construction of cheal
tramways. Early in the last centur.
they were introduced in the coal mine
of Pennsylvania, and the parties VIII,

stones from Quincy quarries to It'd

Potash soap FOR Eye Glasses.

Constant wearers Of eyeglasses,
spectacles, etc., are much annoyed by
the dimming of the glasses upon en-
tering a warm room from cooler
place. 1t will greatly interest them
to know that this evil can be obvi-
ated by rubbing the glasses with soft
soap. All that is necessary is to rub
every morning or before going out a
little so-called green soap (washing
soap, potash soap) over the whole sur
face of the glass, polishing it until 1t
Is bright again. The preparations,
"Gasoln" and "Oculustra," offered for
the same purpose at high prices, are
nothing else than pure potash soap.

There was no stupidity about our
bright Dot, and she understood all the

DEATH OF ALFRED c. GANDEY.

Alfred c. Gandey died quite sud
denly at his home, ON Cottage Hill, i'll
this city, last Sunday morning. IL
had been in poor health for three
four years, diabetes having developed,
and he had lived practically on milk
diet for two years past. Recently he
had slight attack of paralysis, and a
second ON Sunday morning was the
immediate cause of his death.
Mr.. Gandey was by trade smachinist,
but for several years had conducted
hardware and plumbing establishment.
He had also been manager of the Lam
bertville Gas Works for several years.
About five years ago he was elected
n member of the board of freeholders
of this county from the First Ward,
and he served so efficiently that the
majority of the board, although opposed
to him in politics, made him chairman
of the most important committee of
that body-the finance committee. He
showed his excellent business ability
and answering honesty in this posi-
ton, and when he retired from office
nearly two years ago, it was with the
regret of the best men of both political
parties
Afterward Mr.. Gandey was talked of
for sheriff. but he declined the nomina
ton. Last fall, he was put upon the
Republican ticket for state senator,
but was defeated by majority less
than normal.
Mr.. Gandey was II thoroughly up
right and conscientious man. To
stranger he appeared rather brusque
in manner, but those who knew him
well, knew him to be genial, generous
and kind hearted
He leaves widow and one daughter
and a large number of warm friends.
His funeral will take place from his
late residence to morrow Thursday
afternoon ut . 80 o'clock. The Masonic
funeral services will be given by Am
we'll Lodge, of this city, of which he
has long been member. He was also
member and treasurer of wilson
