AMERICAN TO CONSTRUCT
TROLLEY LINE IN ENGLAND

New York, July 2.-Thomas Nevins
of East Orange will sail on Saturday
to take up the work of constructing LAT
miles of trolley between Liverpool and
Manchester, and embracing side lines
touching many populous towns. The
work will entail an expenditure of $20.-
100000, all of which will be furnished
by American financiers.
Mr. Nevins, who. with his father, is
prominent among the pioneer traction
contractors of the east, said:
1.-The English do not seem to have
awakened to the possibilities in electric
roads. We look upon England as con-
tanning our principal interests nova
days, because the field there is so large
ly undeveloped. We have done a great
deal of work in this country, but it is
pretty well supplied now. and the field
operations are spondingly restrict
ed. In England it is practically unlim-

The Pau-No-Bills Man.

This is an age of wonders, and not
the least of its products is the charac-
ter that knows how to sail along Sc
renely through life doing everybody
and enjoying the est of whatever is
going. Sometimes we hear it said of
such a character. why, he goes to
church." etc. OF course, he dOes-and
do you, gentle reader, think for mo-
ment that he doesn't beat the church,
too? No man is a rogue outside the
church and just inside it. No, not at
AL Is it not strange that there are
laws against almost all kinds of rogues
and criminals, but none that fits this
character? He is apparently happy all
the time, dresses well, feeds well and
aims at good society. and even enter
tains sometimes, but never pays the
bill. Our only satisfaction after having
to do with him is to thank God that
things are not quite as bad as they
might have been, and, of course, we
have our experience, which is some
thing that people at times consider
valuable
Neither is this a rare character to
meet. You can find him, yes, and her
too, almost any day if you are disposed
to be good natured at your business

RODEY MADE a MISTAKE.
Says Three-ifths of New Mexico's
Population Speak English.

Washington, July 2.-Delegate Rodey
of New Mexico stated today that the
report of his testimony of June Is be-
fore the senate committee on territories
relating to the omnibus statehood bill,
contained an error, in that it made him
say that interpreters were necessary in
conducting most of the public business.
as a majority of the people in New
Mexico were unable to speak the Eng
lish language.
Mr.. Rodey says that three ffths of
the population of the territory are Eng
disappearing people from the states,
and their families; that a good one
half of the remaining two-fifths speak
English well, and that but few coun-
ties in the territory use interpreters at
all, and then only because of a portion
of the population speaking Spanish
alone. He stated that the language OF
the territory is Overwhelmingly English
and is growing more so every year.

against him by Richard r. Neill, secre-

that Charles Herdliska, formerly secre-
tary of the legation at Vienna, had been
nominated as his successor. The charges
made by Mr.. sNeill included padding the
expense accounts.
Senator Frye, of whom Consul Dickey
is constituent. interested himself in the
case, and DR.. Hill, then acting secretary
of state, instituted quiet investi-
CATION, assisted by Chief Clerk Michael,

his successor at Callao allowing Mr..
Dickey to regain his old position, Mr..
