RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD.


The announcement by the Railway
Age that a larger addition has been
made to the railway mileage of the
United States in 1901 than in any pre-
ceding year since 1890 lends special in
by the treasury bureau Of statistics re-
garding the railways of the United
States and the world.
According to these figures the steam
railways of the United States now ag-
gregate practically 200, 900 miles. and
those Of the entire world nearly 500 900
miles. This does not include railways
operated by electricity, of which the
mileage exclusive of street and suburb.
an roads, is now considerable and rap
idly increasing, so that 1t may safely
be said that the railway mileage OF the
United States exclusive OF those for
street and suburban service, is fully
100000 miles.
For the entire world the London
Daily Mail year book for 1902 esti,
mates the total miles open for traffic
at S4S, 34s. of which 220.657 miles are
in North America, les 500 in Europe,
35, $50 in Asia, 2S,364 in south Ameri.
ca. 1850 in Africa and 5,2S2 miles In
Australasia. Thus the United States
have two-ifths OF the railway mileage
of the world and a larger mileage than
any other single country.
Comparing the mileage OF other
countries with that of the United
States, the United States stands first
with 1S9,37S miles; German empire,
81. 1874; Russia, 1854; France. &c, 613
India, 25.035. Austria-Hhngary 90

Canada, 1857; British Australasia,

$40; Mexico, 1908; Brazil, s,7ls, and

A Little Child over at Las Vegas ls
Badly Injured.

Badly Injured.
An unfortunate accident, whereby a
child was fatally injured, occurred on
the railway track in this city yesterday
evening, say the Las Vegas Record.
AS the second section OF No. 2 pas.
senger train came in from the south,
when near the tie picking works, a
child wandered on the track n short
distance ahead of the engine. The en-
glneer gave warning signals and made
every effort to stop the train before
reaching the child, but 1t was in vain.
The unfortunate child, instead of run
ming from danger, started to meet the
engine, and was hurled from the track
in a bruised condition. Engineer
Wolfe and the fireman picked up the
little one as soon as their train stop
ped and placed 1t In the arms of the
mother, who had been Fastening to the
rescue. She was not in time, how.
ever, and endured the agony Of seeing
the child badly crushed without the
power to save II.
The child, who is about three years
old, had one OF the hips and sides
crushed in and the little ones face was
badly injured. The child still lived and
it was pitiful to see the weeping moth
er lament the fate of her beloved little
one.
The child is a son OF Mr.. and Mrs
F%1orencio Chacon and he still lives. al

UNCLE SANS RAILROAD

The United States is operating a
railroad Of its own and does n make
a cent out of 1t from one years end to
the other, according to the Express
Gazette. Only q few miles from New
York, on the Sandy Hook peninsula,
is a six mile steam railroad, with Fort
Hancock as one terminal and Highland
beach as the other. This road, while
limited on its rolling stock to one
locomotive, M combination baggage
and passenger car and several freight
cars, Is In touch with the whole coun-
try. as 1t C meets at Highland beach
with the Central railroad at New Jer-
sey. Large operations in the line Of
ordinance tests are secretly conducted
at aSndy Hook proving grounds by the
ordnance department at Sandy Hook,
and 1t Is the transportation Of this ord
nance, together with ammunition and
supplies, that furnishes the bulk of
business Of this railroad. The passen-
ger traffic is small. as 1t is limited to
those having passes issued by the
military authorities OF the United
States. Aside from the inscription,
Sandy Hook Proving Grounds" which
appears on the cars and locomotive,
there Is nothing about the train to sug-
gest the ownership Of the road. Never

century, to become n of the stars in

that New Mexico has for the sarcastic

fight each other. is the fact that they

drivers alone there Is a weight of $780,
900 pounds, or lis IONS. The type Is
the decapod, with ten drivers. and the
Santa Fe officials will have to CON

THE POLITE COMEDY.
Such Is the Name Of TOO Rich to
Marry"

Such Is the Name Of TOO Rich to
Marry"
The title of the polite comedy, TOO
Rich to Marry" is derived from the
i(tct that the hero of the story is in
love with a young Dunkard girl. The
sect of Dunkards are averse to great
wealth, and as the young man is to
inherit n great fortune, he does not
find favor in the eyes of the DunEard
mother.
He is bright and handsome and in
every way a desirable match for the
girl, except-a strange exception in
these days-that he is too Iich. This
objection. on the part of the Dunkard
mother. develops a series of compiled
tions, exquisitely amusing in the com
edy, which shows how a young man
of brains can marry the girl he loves.
In spite OF the fact that he is a mil.
~lionaire.
The comedy Is interesting and in
.structive as showing the development
of American manners and customs. The
author has seized the spirit of the pres
ent time in the development of an ex.
cruciatingly funny plot from exclusive
ly American characters and scenes.
In so doing he produced a work that
will live and take rank with the best
efforts OF the worlds greatest writer's.
The picture comedy will be seer
