In Yankee Doodle Gandcr' the artist

they come to study American history
why old Put and Mull Pitcher and
other characters are SO familiar to
them But Won G.. knows.
This year two new books by Won G..

which have just been approved by the
state board of railroad commissioners.
involve, besides vast outlay OF mon
ey, a gigantic engineering work, some
features OF which are unique.
The railroad plans first TO tunnel the
Hudson river from the Jersey shore,
thence under New York city. where
vast underground stations will be
built. Crossing the city underground.
the road will continue under the East
river to Long Island City, where the
surface will be reached and stations
for the Brooklyn section of the greater
city are to be erected.
y part of the Pennsylvania PROPOSE
tion is the construction of a surface
railroad in Greater New York. A COM
pany has been organized and named
which is TO build railroad from the
main land at Port Morris. in the bor-
ough of the Bronx, bridging Hell Gate.
and upon the Brooklyn side by surface
road extending to East New York.
This road is to be ten miles long, and il
is to be owned Jointly by the New
lt~ Icon
porations. II is the connecting link be-
tween the leading New England rail
road and the Pennsylvania for at that
point in the borough of Brooklyn
where this little railroad terminates
there is connection with the Long Is
land railway system ard with the ter
minal of the tunnel system which the
Pennsylvania proposes TO construct
from Brooklyn to Jersey city.
Charles NJ. Jacobs. the engineer who
will have charge of the work, says that
the engineering plan surpasses in mag
nitude anything of the kind ever at
tempted in this country or any other.
The original features of the plan con
sist not so much in tunnclng the Hud-
son rs in bridging it not over, but un-
der. its bed. In other words, the steel
tubes which will form the tunnel will
be built on solid columns of masonry
resting on the bedrock fifty or more
feet below the top of the mud and silt
which form the bed of the river.
All engineers speak of this plan as
magnificent in its audacity and yet as

apparently perfectly practicable. The
wonder is that it had not occurred to
engineers before.
They maintain that if it was possible
to carry structural steel and masonry
through the silt of the banks of the
East river to primeVal granite. so that
n substantial foundation for the new
suspension bridge could be obtained.
there seems to be no reason why
Mr.. Jacobs cannot erect solid columns
of masonry and steel upon the rock
that is fifty feet below the silt which
is the bed of the Hudson, and upon
these pillars construct the framework
upon which will securely rest the mas
sive steel tubing through which the
trains of the Pennsylvania will be
hauled by electricity.
The tunnel under the East river will
consist of four tubes, which are to be
laid. not upon Il bridge foundation, but
upon the solid rock. There experiment
has already been made. y gigantic
tube Of that kind has been placed upon
the East river rock bed furnishing
communication between Manhattan
and Brooklyn boroughs, although nor
for passenger traffic.
The wonders of electricity are to be
eXemplied not only in the operation
of this system, but also in the con
struction of it, BY means of it and its
first cousin. compressed air, it is cX
pected that this gigantic plant can be-
constructed within three years. The

must be completed by the spring of
1904.
Already the Pennsylvania corpora
lion has expended about $S.000000 in
The purchase of real estate in New
York and Brooklyn, and before the
tunnel is in working order it will have
spent, at low estimate, fully S50,000,-

A. J. Cassatt, who has been president
of the Pennsylvania corporation since
1899, is anxious to complete the vast
undertaking with all possible speed.
Mr.. Cassatt has been with the road
since 1861, when he entered its service
as a rodsman. He is wealthy and lives

sights in the season when the wild

ever one may look over the water.
Wild fowl of every kind, from the
great wild swan to the tiny buttcrball
duck. from herons 10 the most diminu-
tive Of the sufpe family, pitch into
those glorious water hunting grounds.
Bears are still found in many states
and furnish much sport to those who
like this kind Of excitement They are
plentiful in the woods of some Of the
southern Appalachian mountains and
the forests and canebrakcs of Alabama.
Mississippi. Georgia and Arkansas. The
bear is hunted nmauy ways. Some men
like to follow him day after day. sleep
ing Oh his trail at night, until the en-
durance of the wild beast is conquered
by the endurance of the man. Others
hunt him with dogs that drive him to
stand at bay. Some of these sportsmen
carry their regard for the ethics of the
chase so far that they bear no rifles
or shotguns, but follow the bear sim
ply with a revolver. so that when he
finally makes his stand the hunter must
go in boldly and make a distinctly per-
sonal matter of it.
Thousands of head of big game have
already fallen before the rifles of our
sportsmen, and many more will sue
cumb before the season ends in all
states. The number of small game
and birds that have been and will be
bagged is innumerable but hardly more
so, perhaps, than the stories with which
hunters of fur and feather will regale
their friends around the winter fire.

1T IXISTING conditions chal-

SSaeJ thoughtful men. These
conditions are confined to no par

out the length and breadth of our
country. Notwithstanding our
boasted prosperity and the indi-

mains that to the mass of the peo-

moment. 1t were worse than idle
TO close our eycs to the discomfort,
the feeling of unrest so general in
this land. 1t is the part of wisdom
to ascertain the cause and, if pos
sible, to apply the remedy.
The trust is the crying evil of
today. By combinations of capi-
tai unknown to our earlier days,
against public policy, and in many
instances in direct violation of
state laws, the small dealer has
been driven from the field. He
cannot compete with the trust.
His occupation is gone. The field
being clear, competition destroy

trusts fix prices to the consumer
at their own pleasure. Is it pos
sible that the people are inditfer-

tually destroys competition, "the

it usurps the functions of govern
ment. By intelligent machination,
exclusively to its own gain, the
trust has greatly increased to the
consumer the cost of articles of
daily necessity. The shadow of
the trust has fallen upon every
hearthstone in this land, and the
end is not yet.
