Three Great Railway Systems.

AHIeo UTcaC halfway systems.
Three great railroad schemes will
probably be realized in the Goth CEN
fury. From Cairo to the Cape is build
ing, from St. Petersburg toVladivostock
is being rapidly pushed to completion,
and third great road, from New York
to Buenos Ayres is already projected.
OF this last system, 4,500 miles are al
ready in operation and 4,300 would be
required to complete it. The total
mileage of the three systems: when
completed would be- $4,000 miles of
which 5000 are now in use.
One thing can be said definitely in
regard to the coming century: it will
produce for health or appetite nothing

A PARK.

Correspondent Advocates Splendid
Improvement for Princeton
Princeton needs a park. And Prince
ton may have such a park as would be
at once the delight Of all inhabitants
and the envy Of her sister towns.
The writer has Ia mind pretty
-liaa.-le towuin the southern part,of Min
.nesota. lying in Il valley partly: encir-
cled by verdure-clad hills, its chief at
traction a beautiful, shady little park
near the center of the village, on the
main business street. Here the farm
ers, in for days shopping may enjoy
rest and shade during the noon hour
and here the towns-people, vending
their various ways, may take off their
hats and enjoy Gods breezes and the
*inging of His birds. There is pretty,
well-built baud.stand and thus the
music, supported by the business peo-
Pile, instead of being far-removed from
them as is too often this case, is
brought within pleasant, listening dis
tances of those who have least time to
enjoy it and who, perhaps, crave it
most.
The presence Of this little spot of
greensward gives an air of respect
ability to the town, it shows that the
"almighty dollar'is not so important
factor but that few feet Of ground
can be spared for Mother Nature.
Princeton has the possibility of one
Of these "breathing Places on her
main street and with the great, added
attraction of river close at hand.
Surely, none will ask where-all minds
must at once revert to the vacant lots
just across from the opera house.
Think Of the possibilities! Beautiful
shade-trees, rustic seats, flower beds, a
band-stand, pretty little boats on the
river-sometime, a foot-bridge thrown
across to connect with more park, as
extensive as we choose to make it, so
that two minutes walk would trans
port one from the dust and heat of the
city to the widest. country haunts.
Our ''old elm" would be within it's en-
vironments and thus historical associa-
lions would lend another attraction to
the convenience, comfort and beauty
of the spot. H.:
The former owner of these lots, Mr..
Samuel Ross, was one of the founders
of our town and prime mover in all
that pertaining to it's early welfare
it wo Gld be nice little act of courtesy
to bestow his name upon our park.
7 Surely, this is not entirely s'vision-
ary.' Those who have experienced
the Delights afforded by these green
spaces which are coming to be the
adjuncts Of every thriving town, will
see the utility of the plan. These im=
provements mean much-they mean
the attracting to our. community Of the
very best class Of citizens and the
building up of the churches, schools
and most desirable business; Interests
will follow. =:

The existence of almost exhaustless
beds of peat in various parts of Mime

natural coal, attaches great local in

ton papers of method of producing
artificial coal by chemical comhlna-
ton of peat, petroleum, bituminous
pitch and 1.-TWO other minerals impor-
tant when chemically considered but
insignificant when commercially con-
sidered.' Peat is, of course, the main
Ingredient. The inventor is DR.. c.. M.
Randall, a practicing physician in
Lowell. He calls his product "synthet-
ical coal.' He does not claim that it
is better than anthracite, but declares
that it can be used far more economic
ally in localities where peat exists and
which are far from coal mines. It is
described as being practically free
from sulphur, free from silicon and
other useless and deleterious elements.
Its residual ash is light and feathery,
absolutely free from glass and clinkers.
It burns without black smoke, and the
gases of combustion are as harmless
as smoke of wood. 1t can be manu-
featured in localities remote from tide
water with economy. It cannot be
made economically on a small scale.

Minnesota: Crop Conditions for the Week
Ending May 20.
There were local showers earlv in
the week in Hubbard, Becker, CLAY.
Norman and Polk counties, and in the
extreme southeast. Those showers ex-
tended over small areas, and they were
generally light except in western Nor
man county, where they were locally
very heavy. Early in the week the
temperatures were low, being near the
freezing point on the morning OF the
18th in some exposed places. The low
temperatures of the 18th, 18th, 18th
and 18th do not seem to- have caused

barley, fax and millet are being sown
as the land is being prepared for them.
South of the Red River valley the
planting OF corn and potatoes has been
going on during the week, and in many
places it is finished; early planted corn
and potatoes are up. Flax seeding is
going on, and new breaking is being
used largely for this crop. Winter rye
is heading, but it is said to be thin.
Wheat, oats and barley are growing
splend idly, with good stands, the re-
cent cool weather having been very
favorable for stooling. - The surface
soil is dry, and though there is suffi-
cient moisture for the present at a
depth, rain is much needed especially
for the late sown grains, grass and
pastures: the need being greatest in
southeastern counties. P Pastures are
yielding abundantly and grass prom
ises good hay crop. Chinch bugs are
appearing in large numbers in the
southeast, and some pieces of barley
and rye infested by them have been
plowed under to be sown to other crops.

TWENTY-SIX MEN MAY
BE TRIED FOR MURDER

Leavenworth, Kansas, Nov. Isl.
B. Waldrupe, a guard at the Fort
Leavenworth Penitentiary, who was shot
during the mutiny at that institute on
November Z, died today of his wounds.
Twenty-six men now are liable to
charge of murder.
Waldrupe was born in Greenback,
Tenn, in 1876. He served in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish War in the United
States Volunteer Signal Corps, later be-
coming a guard at the prison. During
the mutiny Waldrupe was stationed in
tower stockade. In a fight that en-
sued he was shot in the hip. He fell
to the floor but raised himself and fired
into the crowd. killing Quinn Fort, one
of the ringleaders.
A moment later Waldrupe, while in
the act of firing again, was struck be-
tween the eyes with a pistol bullet.
Then several convicts entered the tow
er to secure weapons Waldrupe, al
though mortally wounded, dubbed the
first man down with his rifle and then
fell exhausted. He was later rescued
by other guards.

He has mapped out his world of con-
temporary life into six categories
Scenes of private life; scenes Of pro-
vlncial life; scenes Of Partisan life;
scenes of military life; scenes of politi-
cal life; scenes Of country life.
'Go into each one Of these social
spheres and see the life in them as
Balzac depicts it.
That's the way Balzac wanted to be
read and that's the way to read him,
think. Do not follow any strict
chronological order to be sure the
same characters reappear, in the fore
ground in one book, in the background
in another, but all the scenes are near
ly contemporaneous and you will not
be disturbed by chronology. He hasn't
written sequels in the sense that
"Vingt Ans Apres' is a sequel to LES
Trois Mousquetaires," for the reason
that he has been preoccupled with
scenes rather than with events. How
ever. l will indicate briefly what l
think would be a more natural order Of
taking up the works under each cate
CORY. OF the first-scenes of private
life-read anyway "Pere Goriot' and
If you have time lie Colonel Chabert"
(pathos rare in Balzac,) La Femme
de Trente Ans "Beatrix," Modesto
Mignon."
"Of scenes of provincial life read first
Eugene Grandet," considered his
masterpiece by English critics; lie
Cure de Tours "Ursule Mirouet."
OF scenes of Partisan life read Cesar
Birotteau," La Cousine Bette" lie
Cousin Pons."
"Of the fourth category C'vie mill
taire'D Les Chouans" is the best, but
it is hardly worth while for you to
read it.
"Of scenes of political life "Une Tene-
breuse Affaire" naturally precedes lie
Deputy d'Arcis,' which is the best.
'fOf the sixth category Country life)
read lie Medecin de Campagne" ("The
Country Doctor"), an old soldier
rough account of the Napoleonic wars
(excellent); after that, lie Cure du
Village" Les Paysans"
"Besides the "Comedie Humane"
with it's six categories, there are "Etudes
Philosophiques, p" La Peau de Chagrin"
C'The Wild ASS skinD, "L'Auberge
| Rouge short and thrilling; Louis
phita." mystic la Recherche de
Labsolu." Also the "Etudes analy-
tiques''-"La physiologie du Marriage"
(amusing paradoxes), "Petites Miseres
de la Vie Conjugale. Unless you in
tend to get into this last state perhaps
these two will not interest you. Of
course his theatrical works are quite
apart
Delve into each of the six cate
gories of the "Comedie Humane" ex-
cept perhaps La vie militaire," and
sample life in the various environ
ments that Balzac offers. Don't be
bothered by chronology any more than
you would be if you were being shown
a lot of stereopticon views of various
sights In a grand city
TITS scenes rather than events that
Balzac gives-scenes and characters.
There is his real strength and there
his realism is most apparent. In his
events he is as fantastic, as improba-
I'ble, as unreal as the most romantic Of
writer's. I think you will be struck by
| that. He admitted that he imagined
events while he rendered characters
and places faithfully from observation
and memory"

TRAINMEN ATTACKED
BY GANG OF TRAMPS

Spooner, Wis, Nov 16.-Conductor
H. C. Schultze and his train crew of a
freight train of the Chicago st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha Railway were
attacked at Superior Junction last
night by gang of tramps.
Schultze received probably fatal
knife wounds, Brakeman Ferguson was
stabbed in the arm and is in a critical
condition from the loss OF blood. The
FIVE other members Of the crew all re-
ceived knife wounds. Two of the
tramps were injured and were arrested.
The tramps boarded the freight at the
station and demanded that they be
allowed TO ride. The conductor ordered
them off the train and instructed his
crew to see that none Of the men stole
rides.
The train was started and, upon the
refusal Of the tramps to get off. a
general fight ensued.
No trace Of the tramps who got away
have been found.

Until he came to Washington last
week, Senator Proctor had spent some
time on the st. Johns river fishing for
salmon, says the Washington Star. Sen
ator Proctor had no unusual experience
with salmon or other fish, but he did
have a peculiar experience with a big
buck moose. The senator and his party
were on their way in canoes down the
st. Johns river, their destination being
the railroad station, where they were to
take trains. Between the two good
sized towns of Andover and Perth,
n. H., said Senator Proctor, 1--WE were
informed by Indians on the river bank
that big buck moose was in the river
several miles below. and that the ., ople
from both of the towns and all the sur
rounding country were on the banks
watching the animal. If is nee dless to
say that those caLOes made fast time 70
where the moose was. When we got
there, we found the moose swimming
wildly around, afraid to ate mpt land
ing on either bank because of the people.
As it is against the law to Kill moose.
we concluded to drive the animal TO
shore and let him get back to the haunts
from which he had strayed. We drove
him to shore in front of our canoes
several times, but each time he would
become frightened and Jump back. into
the water. One time the animal came
near getting into suction Of logs, where
he would have been crushed We sue
ceeded at last IN getting the moose ashore
where he had clear field for a run. He
made great run, TOO. Tie people Of
Andoyer and Perth were so interes ted
that all the schools turned out to let the
children see what was golug on. TIE
moose had evidently ,traytd out of his
accustomed run and found himselt in a
bad dilemma
