Five Chief Magistrates.

Previous to the accession Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, says the Buffalo Com
mercial, New York had furnished
four presidents Of republic, and he
IS therefore the fifth in the line cred
tied to this state. Only two Of these,
however, were directly elected to the
office, and the other three, including
Mr.. Roosevelt, succeeded from the
vice presidency on the death Of the
president, IN accordance with the CON
stitutional provision. The New York
presidents elected as such were Mar
tin Van Buen, IN 1896, and Grover
Cleveland, IN 1884, and again ID 1892.
The New York vice presidents who
attained the chief magistracy were
MilIard Fillmore, on the death Of
Zachary Taylor, in 1850; Chester a.
Arthur, on fhedeath Of james A. Gar
field, IN 1881, and Theodore Roose-

RAILROAD FUEL
Wood Was First Used, Then Coal
Now II Is Oil.

The railroads of the United States
spent for fuel for their locomotives
last year $4,000, 900, Or about ten
per cent. of the whole cost Of railroad
operating N the country. In addi-
ton to The coal purchased for the use
Eof. locomotives, there is the expense
sof its transportation, for several OF
the railroads are 50 far removed from
coal supplies that they are compelled
to carry coal for long distances, says
the New York Sun.
One of the most important rail-
roads of the country IN respect to the
territory it serves (the Southern Pa
eific) has not on its route a coal field,
from New Orleans to San Francisco,
and has had to import its coal from
Alabama, New Mexico and Colorado.
This has beenone of its heaviestitems
Of expense, but since the utilization
of oil as railroad fuel it is sono long
er. Oil in great abundance has been
used recently as fuel by all the rail
roads running through Texas, and on
some southwestern divisions of the
trunk lines Of thatsection it is being
used almost exclusively for passenger
locomotives.
Originally, American railroads used
wood only as fuel. At present coal,
soft or anthracite, is most generally
used, the average train requiring
about two tons Of anthracite for each
loo miles run and about a ton and a
half Of soft coal for the same run.
Soft coal, more available for the rail-
roads Of the west and south, costs about
SO per cent. per ton less than anthra-
cite, butsoil as fuel has been found to
be very much cheaper than either,
and as j. comes into more general use
is superseding coal as coal superseded
wood
