GLASG0W'S STREET CARS
The Scotch City Making Money Fast
on Its Own Traction -: Z
80 Business. =.

! Glasgow, Aug. 29.-Glasgow, foremost Of
British cities in municipal enterprise, has
just given London, slowest Of all British
cities, a lesson in municipal management
of city owned street railways that is in
valuable. -, - -. 49,. :. ... X .- ..
Glasgow owns and operates all it's street
car lines and it does it with a profit that
would make any traction company in the
United States enyious.
In the last few years the horse car lines
have been gradually displaced and have
now disappeared from the streets AL
though working expenses during the tran
sition, period are not perhaps so low as
they will be, yet they remained practical
;ly the same as the previous year, although
the revenue Increased from s2,400,000 to
$3,070,000. 49, -,
After $25O,00o has been set aside for de-
tpreciation the profit for the twelve months
ending in May last was $1,450,0 sum
sufficient to pay a dividend of Is per
cent on the whole capital borrowed, and
to carry S250,0OO to, the reserve fund. What
Glasgow did after paying it's interest and
sinking fund charges and presented S62,
500 to the general city fund, was to carry
$500, 900 to Its reserve fund.

OF THE LOG
Low Water in a Wet Season Ac-
centuates Necessity Of Use
of Railroads. ~.- ~
This Means the Continued Promi.
nence of Minneapolis as a
Great Lumber Center.

The problem of logging by rail and by
river, as it affects the future of Mime
apolis as a lumber center, Is discussed at
length in an editorial in the Mississippi
Valley Lumberman Of to-day. This says
In part: -
"It is rarely the case that the headWa-
ters Of the Mississippi and ST. Croix rivers
are treated to more liberal supply Of
rain than they have been this year, and
yet, in the middle of August both Of those
streams are SO low as to greatly interfere
with the driving and rafting of logs This
condition of affairs is more disastrous to
the mill men of the middle river than it
is for the manufacturers at Saltwater,
Minneapolis and points above them on the
two streams, for it is probably entirely
impractical to give consideration to get
ting supplies by rail- The distance to the
mills below Winona and La Crosse, if not
to them as WE'LL is, too great to make it
profitable to haul logs by rail.
with the Minneapolis and Saltwater
mills the situation is different. Already
it has proven that logs can be brought to
these two points by the railroads and
sawed at a profit. The increasing un-
certainty Of getting logs by water will
result in an Increase of rail logging in
years to come: The shipping facilities of
the two are such that they will be in the
business of manufacturing lumber as long
as any lumber is sawed IN the state, and
when the water supply for driving the
logs proves totally Inadequate, If it ever
does, they will get all their log supplies
by rail. 1t Is quite certain that both the
Mississippi and the st: Croix will con-
tinue to bring a large percentage of the
logs as long as logging continues, but
| it is a source of satisfaction to the mil
men to know, if the necessity arises, they
can get their logs and make lumber at 9
| profit. ~. :, ,3s +.
1.-The cost Of hauling a given number Of
logs by rail will never be as low as the
cost of driving the same number to the
mills. The loss in hauling logs by raj
can be reduced to very low figure, while
a certain and large percentage of loss by
| sinking is always sure when the logs arr
driven. The other point in favor of raj
logging is that the logs. can be delivered
more quickly and this does away with the
necessity of having; q large amount o
money tied up in logs for a large portion
of the year Rail logging admits Of work
! ing in the. woods the year round. &:

This patent Of nobility had been offered
to him in return for large sections of land
donated by Senor de Quesada to the city
Of that name; but, like his grandson, the
elder man had little love for Spain and
he haughtily refused any honor at her
hand. 20 I
On his mothers side Quesada is the
grandson Of former Captain Genoa, at
Porto Rico. His father, who was a ply
sician of much note, brought him to this
city at the age of g years, and here the
young man grew up, never quite an Amer
ican. but with his eyes always turned
his country, -'s', y -
During his college life young Quesada
took most active interest : in every
phase of it, study being last on the list,
although he never stood very far from
the head of his class. He was a most
enthusiastic chess player, and was presi-
dent of the college chess club for three
years. Upon his graduation in 1888 he
entered the Columbia School of Mines, but
abandoned this shortly for the law school
where he received the degree of bachelor
of laws in 1891.
He spent some months In law office on
William street, but the dryness of the
profession did not appeal to him, and ne
suddenly entered the service of the Ar
gentine Confederation, becoming one of
that country's delegation to the Pan
American congress in Washington His
uncle, Senor Saenz Pana, at that time the
minister of foreign affairs, visited this
country, and Quesada served him as Sec
retary. Upon the adjournment of the
congressg Quesadaa ,journeyed with him
through Englard, France and Spain. sail

tina: Then Quesadas returned with the
official title OF. consul from that country
to Philadelphia. ase. =. ,,,::a5>-s@. @er
Allied Himself With Marti. \ =
In the meantime, he had been in close
communication with Jose Marti, the head
and front of the Cuban revolutionary
movement. To Quesada's romantic mind
Marti was leader worthy Of any sacri-
fee, and acting upony~the advice he re-
signed his consulship to devote all his en-
ergy to the cause Of Cuba 10 f.
It was at about this time that the love

lutionary ideas He had met and promptly
fallen head over heels in love with 1a5Miss

>One autumn afternoon, eighteen years
ago, youth, scarcely out of knickerbock-
ers walked slowly through the main cor
ridor of the College of the City Of New
York. He was small and slender thin and
of a complexion that plainly betokened
his birth under a southern sun. @,As he
passed a group Of upper class men they
watched him closely, for it was within
their province to; determine whether or
not: he was to be admitted to one Of the
college secret societies. F.:
There was little about him at that time
to attract attention, save the wonderfully
deep, dark eyes that sparkled like Goals
OF Are under the heavy eyebrows IT was
those eyes that turned the scale in his
favor, for one Of the group said quietly:
"That chap has more. life and ambition

Gonzalo de Quesada became member OF
the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. To-day
that organization is justly proud that she
holds on her membership roll the name OF
the first minister from the republic OF
Cuba to the United States.
The action of that day held more OF
moment than any participant ever
dreamed of. In the years to come Ques-
ada, representative Of the Cubans fighting,
almost without hope, for the deliverance
from the yoke of Spain, stood in Wash
ington, yainly striving for the recogni-
tion of his people. Officially, the United
States government did not dare to take
cognizance Of his present affidavit. But,
chiefly because Quesada wore upon his
vest the shield of his fraternity, one all
important door, was open to him. This
was at the home of John Hay, whose in
fluence with the Mckinley administration
was well night all powerful liW 10 ! !
John Hay is himself a member Of the
same order, and his Introduction to the
young Cuban was due to that mutual as
sonality, his intelligence, vivacity, genu-
ineness of feeling and, above all, his
overwhelming devotion to the cause of his
country, speedily won Mr.. Hays regard,
and when the latter became secretary OF
state Quesada was often a welcplne, al
though not official, visitor at his home
and office. -. ,,.
College Moulded n Patriot. J.
The college days of Senior Quesada had
most marked effect upon his after life.
1t while he was a student that he
learned to curb his fiery enthusiasm and
to exercise a more diplomatic control OF
his feelings. In the early days Quesada
was blooded, even beyond the point
OF the average man of Cuban blood. He
was ready at any time to sacrifice any

his country, he did it with a whole heart

closest friends. -. ,@: In
Born in Havana in 1861 but a few
months after the revolution of that: year
had broken forth, Quesada, with some
justice, may be said to have been brought
up in an atmosphere of revolution. O1

for some famous hair restorer? Moth
ing of the sort. None of these things
has happened. 1t has been brought
about neither by wise management nor
heredity This is the way il happened.
The head upon which this luxuriant
hair grows is of long diameter from
before backwards, but Of short d.
ameter from side to side. That is TO
say. a long. thin head. with rather
hollow temples This makes it possi-
bic for him to buy hat that fits tight
" to his head. His head being so long.
he is Obliged 10 buy a ~, which is al
ways too wide for his thin head. He
has probab bly, never worn hat in his
life that fit tightly over the temples.
Well, what has all this to do with
luXuriant hair? IT has much TO do with
it. The temporal arteries that supply
the scalp with blood run up the side
of the temples. The average person
wears a hat that fits tightly over the
temples. This construction of the ar
teries and veins that supply the cir
culat ton of the blood and the pressure
of the hat upon these blood vessels
cut of in part the circulation of the
blood to the scalp. This makes the
hair unhealthy and inclined TO drop
out. Bald headedness comes on pre-
maturely. But in case of the long
headed person we are describing. no
hat could be found that would fit tight
ly across the temples.
