SALISBURY ILL
Ex-British Premier is Said to be
DYING.

London, Sept. 20-Lord Salisbury's ILL
ness is not trivial at his age, although
medical attendance seeks to minimize
it and prevent anxiety. He looked old
and worn when he left London and his
friends have been commenting for twelve
months upon the rapidity with which he
was ageing. Members of his family per-
sisted in declaring that official RESPONSE
bility kept him up, and that he would
feel the lack of stimulants after his re-
tirement. Lord Lansdown has been 80
successful in the foreign Office, both in
the management of diplomatic affairs
and in conducting functions of state,
that Salisbury is no longer missed there,
but the government has lost prestige
since the change of the prime ministers.

MOVING GREAT TREES.
Handled With Greatest Care and spe-
ciaI Appliances.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
No side of life of New York-and New
York means not merely its center of city
blocks, but the broad lands surrounding
them as WELLS more interesting than
the splendid way men of wealth and
fs shlon have thrown themselves into
making country places. One year bare
/ illside. a field, a ragged short front;
then rumors of it's purchase from the
farmers who have owned it for genera
tions go about; suddenly sale is record
ed at the county seat and the next year
transformation has been wrought.
Where but a few months before there
was undeveloped country now summer
home stands, all but complete.
Before all else 1t is the moving of the
great trees, thirty, forty and fifty feet
high, that is making possible this spec
tacular weaving of Long Islands north
shore into a succession of beautiful ccun-
try places Nor has 1t been the develop
ment of the north shore alone. The hills
on the Islands backbone to the north OF
Hampstead Heath and the Meadowbrook
plain have shared this upbuilding in no
less a degree. Together they have
brought into being a new country, per-
haps thirty miles in length ana four in
breadth.
The man who would have country
place today and need take no thought
of the dollars to be invested, does not
set out trees nor hedges to grow. His
expert, retained as one would retain an
attorney, studies the land, studies the
house that Is to be built, that probably
has hardly its foundation walls laid as
yet and makes his plans. AS he drives
over the countryside he sees a great tree
here and there that will fit into the pic
ture he has in mind. Prestol that tree
is bought; perhaps fine old hedge near
It, as II tree and hedge were but pieces
Of old colonial furniture. In the tree ex-
pert's mind they are indeed little more
than that. Allowed to go his own way,
unhampered, unrestricted, without being
held down by questions of expense, prac-
tically no task of this kind Is impossible.
Any tree, however wide spreading and
deep rooted. can be moved any distance
and can continue it's growth in its new
place as well as in its old.
certain tree may require especially
delicate handling, fifty men at work upon
it. patent appliance galore to handle it,
skilled science so that not spur of the
smallest root may be injured a dozen
horses to drag it and a truck made for
that purpose. But it is quite as possible
to move such a monster and have 1t

were the smallest sapling.

TO ABOLISH LOCOMOTIVE.
New Train to Be Tried Composed of
SeIf-PropeIIed Cars.

Form the European Editor of the New
York Herald.
An innovation in the world of auto
mobilism has just been brought to
light in Paris. This has reference to
an automobile for railway use, manu-
featured by the well-known Gardner
Sapollet steam automobile establish
ment and denominated "autonomo-
bile"
On June Is next, at ten minutes to
9 a. m. there will start from the Lyons
Station, in Paris, train composed of
three autonomobile carriages-that is
to say, carriages that are both autono-
nous and motor cars-which will en-
ter the Dion Station at noon. There
the 153 travellers carried by the au-
tonomobile wagons will be entertained
at dejeuner.
The 315 kilometres between Paris
and Dion will thus have been cov-
cred in three hours and ten minutes,
or at normal speed of 100 kilometres
per hour; and the same speed may be
maintained between Dijon and Lyons,
Lyons and Marseilles, Marseilles and
Nice, and Calais and Paris uninter-
ruptedly, so that the distance between
Calais and Nice can be covered in
fourteen hours.
First of all, as its name indicates,
the automobile supercedes the locomo-
tive-that Is, dispenses in every train,
long or short, slow or fast, with a
weight of ITO tons. 1t saves the con-
siderable cost of locomotives. 1t abol.
ishes steam, smoke, noise, vibration,
the jolt incident to stopping and
starting, and the necessity of stopping
to take up water. 1t also abolishes all
the men in charge of locomotive ex-
cept the engine driver.
TIL new carriage is IL metres long
that is to say, the length of the
present corridor carriage. On these
IL metres a space of 26 metres in
front is occupied by the traction ap-
paratus while the remaining 14.4 me-
tres will comfortably accommodate
forty passengers and the 1900 kilo-
grammes of luggage allowed them, be-
sids lavatory and a handy little bar,
where passengers during the journey
may always find refreshments.
The cost of the automobile is the
same as that of the first-class CORR
dor carriage, Wnlle the weight, IN
Guiding the traction apparatus, is also
the same.
Thus the abolition of the locomo-
tive is an accomplished fact, and the
rails which now have to bear the
weight of the locomotive and tender
as we'll as of the carriages are re-
lieved therefrom 1t will easily be
understood that M. Noblemaire, the
manager of the P. L. M. company, the
greatest authority the continent pos
sesses ON railway traction, after listen
ing to M. M. Gardner and Serpollet,
exclaimed: at is an absolute revolu.
ton, and on the day when your au-
tomobiles are ready, l shall be ready
also to place at their disposal the
rails of the P. L. M. for their first
trip"

HIS SKIN BULLET PROOF.
James Wilson, coIored, Hit Over the
Heart, But the Ball Rebounds.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The very tough, armor-plate skin of
James Wilson, alias Jack DeBeers, col
ored, probably saved that individuals life
last night. Wilson was shot directly over
the heart by another negro, who stood
right alongside of him on Mash Market
space, but the bullet rebounded from his
chest as If 1t had struck a coat of mail.
James Mitchell, alias Railroad BILL" "a
years old, of st. Louis, a negro sailor, is
locked up at the Central police station
charged with shooting at Wilson.
The ARRAY occurred about 10:15 o'clock
in the saloon and dance hall of one

where Wilson performs on the piano for
the tripping of the light fantastic" Ac-
cording to Wilson'S own story he was
sitting at the piano and talking to An
ME Cain, colored. better known as
French Annie Railroad Bill" a
North Carolina negro. who was in the
hall objected to Wilson's attention to
Annie, and a dispute arose.
The quarrel terminated. so Wilson says.
by Bill drawing a revolver and shooting
him in the chest. Wilson turned to run,
whereupon Bill either shot or struck him
on the back of the head with the butt
of the weapon. At any rate, the rear

the fugitive darted into an alley on South
Frederick street and escaped. Later
Mitchell was arrested in front of the
Odeon theatre by Patrolmen Batter and

searched by Turnkey Kane 32-caliber

was found on him. Lieutenant Scott says
that Mitchell admitted shooting Wilson.
Wilson was taken to the City hospital

WEALTH AND GENIUS.

Among the toilers on this earth 1t is
hard to find one that does not in some
measure add to what is popularity called
wealth. No work is too insignificant, no.
energy wasted. The most obscure adds
his mite the most conspicuous captain Of
industry his. One depends on the other.
AS in a wall where no brick can be
removed without impairing its strength
so in the great free masonry of our COM
mon existence no laborer is too insignifi-
cant to drop his labor without leaving
a vacancy
On one hand we find the captain OF
industry striving to perfect combinations
on the checker board of commerce which
will yield to him a fortune by a brill
liant coup; on the other we find the
nameless student in medicine and surg
cry striving to master the mysterious
machinery which moves the human being
and perhaps, crown him with honor.
In the strange ways that regulate the
sphere upon which we live the line of
one crossed the line of the other. The
merchant and the scientist met. 1t came
to pass that the little daughter of MIR.
Armour, the captain of industry, Grip
pied from birth, could not IN spite OF
her fathers millions, run as other chill
dren did; and it also came to pass that
DR.. Lorenz who had been medical
student once, had learned method of
curing children afflicted as this child
was. He came across the sea. His genius
enabled to work a cure.
And then it was demonstrated that
what Mr.. Armour had believed was an
unusual condition was alarmingly fire.
quent. Thousands of children needed
treatment. Millionaires are plentiful, mea
of wealth are plentiful but there is but
one DR.. Lorenz.
Out of a thankful heart came the de-
sire of the millionaire to erect hospital
dedicated to DIR. Lorenz and made free
for the cure of crippled children. Here
wealth promotes the good that genius
discovered, and thousands will have
cause to rejoice that while one has been
able to amass wealth. the other has been
able to enrich the world by the immen-
sity of his discovery.
But are these things accidental? In
this great world it does often seem that
the great invisible first came regardless
the conditions existing in the human
family.
