people are at the end of their wits, and

people are at the end Of their WITS and
poverty seems the only available en-
ployment. On the contrary, when
Philadelphia lost the raw product
business which New York captured by
the building Of the Erie ditch, her peo-
pie settled themselves to the making Of
locomotives and steamships. SO, when
Toledo lost the grain Of the West she
went into manufacturing agricultural
implements. When the Far West put
its short lines into Chicago, Duluth
ana Memphis ana deprived the ONO
States of their advantages in the South,
the hauling of grain and pigs and cat
tie was given up for the making Of
cloths and tools.
Indeed, one of the vital aspects Of
the law that is taking away from New
Yorw the lines of trade to retain which
Its merchants are contending, probably
in vain, Is that it implies the building
up of the country into groups Of Sec
tional Specialties. AS the years of ex-
pertinent and of temporary leadership
pass, the several principal localities dis
cover the items of trade in which their
resuorces or their facilities for man
ipulation are the greatest, and adhere
to these tenaciously and successfully.
Some manufacture locomotives, and
others, like Kalamazoo, in Michigan, do
nothing so famously as the growing of
celery. Some, like South Bend, in In
diana, make wagons, and others, like
Philadelphia, build war vessels, Some,
like Bellingham Bay, in the State Of
Washington, can salmon, and others,
like Fresno, in California, dry raisins."

BEGINS DAILY TOLL
WITH RELIGIOUS SERVICE.

L. II. Creager, who operates stave
and heading factory in Washington,
Ind, employed the Rev. Mr.. Gorby, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church, to de-
liver tifteen-minute sermons to the fac
tory hands every morning. The idea
proved such success and had such u
wonderful influence upon the workmen
that Mr.. Creager placed the choir of the
First Baptist Church upon the pay roll.
The choir now assists the Rev. Mr..
Gorby in the daily religious services at
the factory. Before the fifty workmen
about the place begin the days, toll
they assemble in the factory for short
religious service. This novel idea orig
mated with l.. III. Creager. The Rev.
Mr.. Gorby, who is local Presbyterian
minister, says that the plan has been a
big success, and he expects to see it
spread to other factories and to other
cities. Mr.. Gorby's name appears on

there is a contest one great record or
more is completely smashed.
Beating an English Record.

Beating an English Record.
One of the greatest, if not the great
est, runs ever made in the world was
accomplished on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad between
Chicago and Buffalo on Oct. "a, 1895.
1t seems that one cause of this race
against time was a desire to eclipse an
English record made on the twenty
second of the preceding August be-
tween London and Aberdeen. The dis
tance between these two towns is $40
miles, and q train Oh the London and
Northwestern made the trip at an aver
age speed of 63.93 miles per hour. The
English public was quite jubilant over
the fact that this trip broke all previ-
GUS records and that the worlds record
was once more held in England. But
the very next month a train on the New
York Central road ran from New York
to East Buffalo, a distance of a little
over 43G miles, at an average speed Of
64.26 miles per hour. OF course, this
beat the English record, but it seems
that there was objection to it from
across the water on the ground the trip
was not long enough to be classed as a
long g-distance run, which should be at
least 800 miles in length. So the rec
ord for a run of 500 miles and over was
still in England. There are few
stretches of railroad 500 miles in length
In this country which are perfectly
adapted for remarkable runs. There
are hills to mount or curves to cut
around which interfere more or less
with efforts to break records. One of
the stretches Of road having no such
impediments is on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern line between Chi
cago and Buffalo. The officers of the
road concluded that they would try to
beat the long-distance record over this
bit of track.
Over Ninety Miles an Hour.
Arrangements for the speed test We're
quietly made. for in view of the possi-
bility Of a failure the officials did not
care for any premature advertisement.

GREATRAH RECORDS MADE.
Fast Runs on the Steel Highway, Here and
Abroad, but America Is i'm the Lead.

"a the train pulled away from the
starting point, which was at Tooth
street, Chicago, and plunged into the
darkness on what was to be a remark
able and record-breaking trip. 1t
goes without saying that the fewest
possible number of stops and the few
est possible changes of engines We're
arranged for. The train stopped about
five times, at four of which engines
We're changed. In less than eight hours
the train shot into Buffalo with the
English record hanging in tatters on
the cowcatcher of the engine. The dis
tance of 510.1 miles had been covered
at an average speed of 65.07 miles per
hour. During one burst of speed the
train flew over the tracks at the rate Of
92.3 miles per hour. Although great
records for single miles had been pre-
viously made, 1t is said, that never
before did a train reach a speed of
eighty miles an hour and maintain it
for half an hour, eighty-five miles an
hour and hold 1t for ten minutes or
ninety miles an hour and hold it for
three or four consecutive miles. Ev-
cry one who was in Chicago or most
anywhere else in the country two years
ago will well remember the great races
which took place for several days be
tween the Burlington and Chicago and
Northwestern roads over their routes
between Chicago and Omaha. The dis
tance between the two cities is 500
miles in round numbers. The North
western route is 4S9.9 miles long, while
the Burlington Is 5OO.2 miles. The

LIGHT ON THE COLONIES.
Graphic Description of the Philippines
and Their Environment

Graphic Description of the Philippines
and Their Environment
Speaking of new light on the Philip
pines, here's some, geographical, COM
mercial and general, that Is certainly
expressed in new way if it does not
actually convey real and valuable infor-
nation. 1t gives the impressions of a
private in the Seventeenth infantry.
He writes: "The Philippines are a
bunch of trouble gathered on the west
ern horizon of civilization. They are
bounded on the north by rocks and de-
struction, on the south by cannibals
and earthquakes, on the east by ty-
phoons and on the west by hoodooism
and smuggling. The soil Is very fer
tile and large crops Of insurgents and
treachery are produced. The inhabi-
tants' chief occupation is building
trenches and making bolos. Their
houses are made chiefly of bamboo and
landscape. Manila Is one capital city.
1t Is situated on Manila bay, large
land-locked body of water full of
sharks and Spanish submarine boats
Tor Wnlcn Dewey Is responsible. Cav
lite, the next city Of Importance, is not
ed for being no good as naval station,
for large number of saloons and
Chi,.amen. The principal export Of the
island are rice, hemp and war bulletins.
The imports are American soldiers, arms
and ammunition. Communication has
been established between the numer-
Gus islands by substituting the mos.
quito for the carrier pigeon, the mos
quito being larger and better. The eli
mate Is pleasant and healthful for mos
| quitoes, bugs snakes, tarantulas,
reaches, scorpions, centipedes and alli-
gators"
In closing. the young man expresses
a longing for home.

CONSERVATION of the natives there has
always existed the greatest popular in
terest in fast runs. Time and again
records have been made only to be
smashed until it would be difficult to
pick out run and make the uncondi-
tional statement that it was the great
est run ever made by a railroad train.
A disagreement sometimes arises even
as to what is railroad train, for some
great examples of speed are to credit
locomotives to which were attached
single coaches, and some authorities do
cline to admit that such combinations
are trains. Americans and Englishmen
have always been and probably always
will be the leaders of the world in all
matters pertaining to railways and the
speed of trains. Between the two CO m
tries there has always existed more or
less rivalry over the speed accomplish
ments Of their respective locomotives,
and the rivalry will likely continue as
long as it is possible to make improve
ments Of any character. Perhaps Amer
leans as whole give the subject great

seem to be interested in all things Of

Northwestern train was due to leave
Chicago at 10 o'clock at night and to
arrive in Omaha the next morning at
S:15. The Burlington left at $50 in
the morning and arrived in the Nebras-
ka city at 1855 the next morning. Thus
the two trains ran practically the same
rate of speed.
Very Close Composition.
The Burlington train had little over
ten miles more than the Northwestern
to run, and she used ten minutes more
than the latter to make Omaha, so IT
would be splitting hairs to say which
road operated the fastest train. In the
contests which took place the trains of
both roads did such remarkable work
that the government mail contract. for
which they were contending, was divid-
ed between the two lines. 1t is said
that no trains on earth ever made such
remarkable runs daily and kept up
the pace as these trains. These runs
of about fifty miles an hour are made
without making any allowance what
ever for stoppages, slow down and
delays of any kind. This means that
the trains necessarily attain a speed in
some parts of the routes of eighty or
ninety, or perhaps even hundred
miles an hour. Some have made the
claim that the trains occasionally
reached a speed Of 12O miles per hour.
Less than three years ago another
great run was made which attrac cted
much attention, especially in Chicago
and the West. The Rock Island road
had concluded to increase its service
between Chicago and Denver by the
addition of four new trains. Two of
these trains were sent out to Denver
and two were kept in Chicago, so that
the new service could be properly in
augurated in both cities at the same
time. 1t was decided by the officials
that one Of the trains going should at.
tempt to break the record time to Den
yer. This was magnificently equip
ped train, with a full complement of
sleepers, dining car, buffet smoker, etc.

FOR BETTER TENEMENT HOUSES.

Commission and the Real Estate Board Of Brokers,
for the purpose OF learning the views of real estate

conference a meeting of the Real Estate Board of

that a commercially profitable tenement house
