| In the current issue of Cashiers Mag
azine John H Converse. president Of
the Baldwin Locomotive works, traces
In an entertaining and instructive way
the growth of the American locomotive.
which from a beginning in 1899 that
looked like a small hoisttng e0gine on
wheels, weighing about a ton and ca
pabie of a speed OF about five miles an
hour, has advanced until today 1t is Il
wonder of mechanism, weighing 80 or
100 tons and making a speed of go or
30 miles an hour. Mr.. Converse fol-
lows it's development in size, weight
cost and speed and demonstrates that
phenomenal improvement has been
made in all of these. But the browning
achievement Of American locomotive
building, he believes. lies in our inva-
sion of the foreign markets. 1t is that,
he thinks, which shows best how Amer
lea has distanced the world.
The foreign trade in locomotives has
been a growth of the last 40 years. At
first confined to Cuba and South Amer
lea, 1t has extended in the last go years
to the eastern hemisphere as well. In
the last ten years in particular Ameri-
can locomotives have been sent to ev-
cry country in the world where rail-
roads are In operation. And within the
last three years American locomotives
have been supplied to railways in
Great Britain. France and southern
Germany, the three countries which
were formerly our competitors for the
South American trade.
Mr.. Converse sees three reasons why
the American locomotive has been in
troduced into Europe. The first is that
American makers can guarantee earlier
delivery than European works; the sec
ond is that the American locomotives
are preferred for their type, size and
detail; the third is that American loco
motives are cheaper being constructed
at a smaller cost per unit Of weight, al
though the wages paid for labor In
America are higher than those paid in
Europe. These three facts are account
ed for by the characteristics of Ameri-
can manufac turers and workmen and
the extended use of machinery here.
1t is significant fact that in all the
years since America began building To-
comotives there has been but one i'm
ported into this country. That was or
dered by the Pennsylvania Railroad
company a pattern of a new type
and workmanship. Thousands shipped
abroad every year, but only one brought
here! Could the story Of the develop
ment OF the American locomotive be
told more tersely and eloquently?

4 OUEER DOURT.

Suppose that three years from now the Republican politicians and office holders, with Mark Hanna at their head, rise up and call upon the Hon. William Mckinley to be their candi- date again. Will it be incumbent upon him on account of the announcement which he has now made to refuse their call? We do not think so. He is sim ply not a seeker for a renomination and that is all there is to 1t. It is good politics" for him to make the announcement at this time, and in such matters he makes no mistakes.
 So says the Hartford Times. Presi- dent Mckinley said: q will say now, once for all expressing long settled conviction, that l not only am not and will not be a candidate for third term, but would not accept a nomination for it if it were rendered me-" Would not accept nomination for it if it were rendered me" appears to be sufficiently definite to warrant people in calling the third-te incident closed as far as President Mckinley is concerned. How could he say more or say it more strongly?

cate exhibits and those most difficult
 to maintain in captivity
 l This year a dovecote and pigeon house was erected on the farm, and it
 is stocked with some 150 doves and pigeons It will accommodate five times that number, and is expected to | be fully stocked by natural increase within a short time. A TOW of six chicken houses, covering a space 60 | feet long by 15 feet wide, was next
 erected. Each house is backed by yard 100 feet deep. The houses were the gift of the Schieffelin estate, which also presented 40 or more pheasants and the houses they inhabited and a number of rare and valuable plants The houses were carefully transported from Tarrytown and re-erected in the
 park with equal care Considerable
 headway has been made in stocking
 the chicken houses, the collection in-
 cluding a considerable flock of ban
 tam fowl. The bantam hens will have
 to work for their board, while most of
 the neighbors will not be called upon
 to do much more than scratch gravel and wait for their food to be brought to them The bantam hens are to be used to hatch out pheasnts' eggs, be- ing more faithful incubators and ca pable also, by reason of their greater spread of wings, to cover more eggs at a sitting. Thus the visitor to the park may ere long see the primmest of mod estey attired little feather-mothers proudly shielding the gaudlestplum- aged brood that ever delighted moth erly hen.
 Adjoining the chicken houses are in- | closures for rabbits and guinea pigs. | The small-stocked departed is expected | to add largely to the menu of the zoo- logical department, and the chicken branch to furnished eggs by the hun dreds besides some 300 young chicks during the season--New York Times.

the bodies, were fed to the sharks Af-
 ter the two last survivors were sighted and a small boat from British steam ship had been sent out to rescue them,
 the crew of the small boat had to use the oars to fight the sharks, and they were not driven away until after the cannibals had been removed from the raft. Finding that the prey which they had so much desired had been lifted from their reach, the schol of sharks made a mad dash for the raft, over turned it. and hunted for more blood. The sharks on that occasion could easily have eaten the live sailors, but they were content to follow patiently and pick up the dead as they fell into the sea.-From the Charleston (S.

SOME REAL REFORNg.

What can be done is indicated by
 some facts that have recently been set forth by Mrs. Ballington Booth, who has been particularly interested in help ing ex-prisoners get new start. In
 the five years since the movement was
 begun permanent organizations have
 been established within twelve States
 prisons and two homes have been open
 ed. one in New York and the other in
 Chicago, at which ex-prisoners may
 stay until permanent employment is se-
 cured. Between 1,600 and 1,700 men
 have passed through those homes, and
 of that number Mrs. Booth Is in touch
 with 75 per cent. and knows that they
 are leading honest, respectable lives.
 Of the remaining 25 per cent, only per cent, to her knowledge, have gone back
 to prison, the other 20 per cent. not
 having been heard from. By those who have had experience in work of this sort" she says, "this is recognized as a good record, especially as we make no distinction between the different classes of prisoners. We don't say we will help only first-term men; we help any who show any desire to be helped" One of the most encouraging features of the work reported is the decrease of prejudice in many quarters against the of ex-prisoners. One in- stance is given of a man who had as a personal favor to Mrs. Booth employed l one of her boys, and who has gradually | the number in his employ un- til noW it is thirty-tive
 Those who have much experience with ! criminals" discover that many of them | are not very different from those who | haven't been caught and branded, and | t is entirely reasonable to believe that | with little help some of them can be- | ,ome good citizens.

-------------------------------- ---------- 4 SIGN OF THE TIM ES,

That is a very interesting and i'm portant move which has been made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. For many years past the annual order of this company for steel rails has been principal element in fixing the price of the product of the steel mills of the country. It has been the custom of the company to distribute it's patronage among the principal steel concerns of Pennsylvania, giving a portion to the Carnegie works, portion to the Cam bria company at Johnstown, and the rest to the Pennsylvania Steel com pany Now the great railroad com- pany has bought out the Pennsylvania Steel company, and hereafter will make its own rails.
 This move will cheer those who have could be prevented from becoming des- potic monopolies. What the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company has done oth- CTS can do and will do. It may ult- mately be found that all the trusts must be reasonable if they want to live, and some of them may not be able to live even If they are reasonable.

Ih the Charity Hospital.

Willie Is funny, and brown. and sweet; Ills wool would klnk If they'd let 1t grow; He wears q plaster cast on his feet, Rows on rows of white little beds, White little faces, rows on rows; White little pillows for little heads; And that is the world which Willie knows. Willie plays on his cot all day.
 Passing rich with bit of string, And laughs when anyone comes his way, Into the world where he is king, Narrow realm for king to rule Scanty treasure he hoards and spends! A flower marble, n broken spool But then, you see, it all depends. Nobody cuddles him up again,
 And tucks him close at night with kiss; Nurses are busy, of course; and then. Who but q mother could ever do this? Nobody folds his brown little hands, And teaches him Now l lay me" there; But some one listens and understands, When Willie stumbes, saying his prayer. Out in the world men work and fight, And some are wounded and some must
 fall;
 And the right goes wrong, and the wrong
 comes right,
 But it never bothers Willie al all; Woolly, and funny, and brown, and sweet, Living his own little life apart, With a plaster cast on his poor little feet, And Gods own sunshine sure in his heart

| PRA ACTICAL TEMP FRANCE WORK. l The temperance people who have been l pained by the way the canteen has | found friends and favor will be pleased | by the action of big life insurance
 company in New York, which has planned to write policies for total ab-
 stainers" upon different basis from that offered to users of alcoholic stimu- lants. After an extended study of mor- tality statistics for several years, sup
 plemented by the testimony of medical
 science, the company has finally con-
 cluded that the claim that total absti-
 hence conduces to longevity no longer
 admits of doubt, and it proposes to give
 total abstainers the benefit of lower
 rates for life insurance The cost of
 life insurance, as is well known, is de-
 termined upon the basis of 'the chances of life" at all ages as disclosed by carefully compiled mortality statis- tics If it Is fact that the chances of life" are affected by indulgence in alcoholic stimulants, the man who in- dulges is a less desirable risk" than the total abstainer. It ought to follow, therefore, that the man who habitually drinks alcoholic liquor should pay more for life insurance than the man of the same age who abstains.
 Such temperance work as is being | done by some railroad companies anl | this insurance company is both prac- tical and powerful. The reasons why | a. man shouldn't drink are becoming more and more pressing

In the North American Jeremiah w.
 Jenks, Professor of Political Science in
 Cornell university, discusses the uues-
 tion, "How Trusts Affect Prices" and
 whole matter then, is this So far as
 the combinations exert a monopolistic
 power over prices, and sometimes they
 have this power to a limited degree, the result is in all probability usually, but not always, directly injurious to soce- ty. They may in no way affect prices immediately, but be retained by the capitalist or divided between him and the working man; or they may-and this is probably the best social result be distributed through the community immediately in the form of lower prices. So far as experience goes, it seems to show that, so far the chief benefit has been retained by the capi- talist, the laborers have secured small part, the great mass of the con SumerS Tn some instances none of the benefits, in others part. The general tendency, however, through the benefi- cent influence of competition, either actual or potential, seems to be in the direction of giving to the consumers a larger part of this fund in the future, although both the combinations and the wage earners are likely to retain some benefits.
