Bishop of Chester and was translated
from that set to that OF Oxford in 1889.
He was the author of many historical
volumes, the best known of which is,

MEXICAN RAILROAD NEWS
More Lines Building Than Ever
BefOre-One Projected from
Brownsville to Mexico
City

The special correspondence Of
the New York Evening Post from
Chihuahua, Mexico. dated June 5,
contains information OF "a number
of important railroads which are
already building, or projected for
the neat future. in Mexico. .niI
eating unusual activity in railroad
developement in the republic.
Among ether lines, the correspond
ent writes of the project for build
ing a road down the Mexican coast
from this poiut, concerning which
the following appears:
Another independent line Is the
one to be built from Brownsville
Texas, down the coast, aud to the
City of Mexico ~ Brownsville
the line will connect with the pro
posed road from that city to San
Antonio, and will be the shortest
route to the city of Mexico by more
than 200 miles. William Aston
Chanler is backing this scheme
The constant recurrence of ru-
mors concerning this project show
that it is seriously considered, and
with such backing, there seems
every probability that there IS
something IN it.

The British government is no doubt fully aware of the effort it will take to carry out Kitchener's recent proclama- ton. 1t instructed him to issue it as forerunner of declaration that, ill the event of the Boers being conquer ed, the Transyaal and the Orange Free State will have to pay every penny of the cost of the war. In the meantime, the prospect of conquering the Boers is no brighter than it was in October, 1899. when Butler, of Tugela fame. thought he could finish. up the job in short order and be back at the Derby races of 1900. How gloomy is the out look, from an English point of view. is shown by cable dispatch to the New York Sun from its London spe- cial correspondent. Referring to kitch- ener's proclamation the correspondent says: It has no bearing on the mili- tary dead beat to which the troops have been reduced There are sixty one mobile columns chasing the Boers, securing here and there few burgh- CTS who have held their own ill their respective and familiar areas through out the South Africa winter. There will be good grass on the veldt by the beginning of October, when it may be expected that the Boers will resume the offensive.'' From this it will be seen that England's piratical enterprise in South Africa is far from being crown ed with success. When the Boers re sume the offensive in October, Kitch- ener, if still ill command. will be kept too busy writing Il regret to state dispatches to have any time to devote to editing threatening proclamations.

Speaking of the Glasgow exposition a writer in the New England Magazine says that the marine section of the ex- hibition is most comprehensive in it's display A magnificent collection of models, in themselves works of art, is arranged in the Grand avenue and the Machinery hall contains q very large and instructive representation of all kinds of marine engineering. The ma rine engineer Of to-day deals with large magnitudes and the problem of strength is always present Consider,
 for example, the anchor gear and brake arrangement needed to control the modern 20. .0OO-ton liner during the pro- cess of anchoring Steel links of three and three-eighths inches thickness
 now appear as the clements of great cables supplied to such vessels as the
 Oceanic and the Celtic Within late years there has been phenomenal de velopment in size. But the other day the New York and Paris held front place with displacement of 10000 tons. Now, at least fifty ships boast equal or greater tonnage. Twin-screw propulsion. as the models at Glasgow show, has become the rule. Another modification which the models point to is the increased height in chimneys now adopted in conjunction with the system of heated-air draft One Is tempted to inquire into the many changes which have been effected and to consider all the causes which have contributed to the reduction in coal consumption. for that of course is the vital question. Higher steam pres sures, multiple expansion, higher pis- ton speeds. heated draft, and super heating have all share in the result.

 Jeffersonville. a little Indiana city on the Ohio opposite Louisville, does q great business i'll marriages.

 The special election in Connecticut to determine whether a constitutional convention shall be held is now less than seven weeks off. A writer in the New Haven Register thinks that, ill regard to this referendum, "a strange inactivity, amounting almost to abso- lute indifference. seems painfully pre- valent among the great mass of citi- zens." This is unfortunate, if true. One thing may be depended upon, which is that the voters of the towns and cities will have to go to the polls, if they de sire the convention to be held Spring field Republican.

My dear girl, if you were an elder ", fat man with a bald head and a somewhat irritable temper, you would do just as Edward is doing.

 ..Yes, but George, he'd be braced up all the time by the thought of the mightiness of the symbol he was bear ing. He'd feel himself every inch a king"
 "He'd feel his inches growing short CT every additional moment that he kept the thing on my dear. A pound of rubies isn't bit lighter than a pound of nails. And it wouldn't be at all pleasant when they lifted the thing off his head to find his neck driven down a couple of inches into his royal chest. and his royal backbone per manently curved.
