Norfolk and Western Has Let Big
Contracts.

Roanoke, Va, Aug 13.-The Norfolk
and Western Railway Company has
Just given contracts for construction
of new lines, double-tracking and 9TH
er work, which will necessitate the ex-
penditure of several millions of DOL
lars.
Among the most important work is
the new line on Big Sandy river, West
Virginia, which is being pushed since
the coal miners strike has subsidized.
This road will be about eighty miles
long and shortens the distance between
Wayne and Kenova about twenty-five
miles.
The contract to complete the Cripple
creek extension from Ivanhoe, Va, to
Speedwell, Va, distance of twelve
miles, has been let and work will COM
nence at once. This line will open up
large mineral deposits that are owned
by the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke
Company in that section.
Contracts are out for $4,000 tons of
steel rails to be used during the next

Washington, Aug. 13.-In congress
sional circles the death of Senator
James Mcmillan of Michigan is deeply
and sincerely mourned. Although Sen
ator Mcmillan never figured conspicu-
ously in the debates, he was unques-
tionably one of the most influential
and generally esteemed members Of
that body. Democrats and Republi-
cans alike honored and respected him
and some of his warmest personal
friends in the Senate are to be found
in the ranks of the minority. Sena-
tor Bacon of Georgia and Senator Mar
tin of Virginia were among his most
intimate personal friends, and it seems
particularly appropriate that these
two senators should be named by SEN
ator Frye, presiding officer of the up
per house, as members of the senato-
rial committee to attend the funeral at
Detroit.
There Is already considerable specu-
lation in Michigan and also in Wash
ington as to who will succeed Senator
Mcmillan. 1t is suggested that the
dead senator's eldest son may be
chosen for senatorial honors. Repre-
sentative William Alden Smith, who
figured so conspicuously in the beet
sugar fight, is also mentioned as a pos

and he has many warm supporters in
Michigan to-day. His political oppon-
ents, however, declare that he has no
political following in the state at this
time. and besides, his health is so i'm
paired that he could not endure the
hardships of such strenuous cam
paign as will be required of the sue
cessor to Senator Mcmillan.

Grabbed Locket From the Neck of
Little Girl.
From the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.
Russell Sage's greed for gold got him
into trouble yesterday.
It might be said that he made a
monkey of himself IL nature had not
already done that.
Uncle RUSSELL is the richest and
meanest monkey in the Zoo. He Is
rated at eighteen cents-all new. shiny
cents-and you would have to chloro-
form him to get one Of them If you
were dying for 1t.
It Is said that his cupidity began to
manifest Itself as soon as he was old
enough to see. 1t took the form Of an
overweening passion for everything
that gIitters. His preference is, Of
course, for coin, but when he can't
get that he will take any kind Of col
lateral that has a shine to 1t.
One day somebody held a hand-nir-
ror in front Of the cage. AS 1t caught
the light Russell Sage's eye fell upon
it. Approaching 1t stealthily. he sud-
denly shot out his fist and captured
the mirror He was sorely vexed
when he found It TO be something that
was not negotiable, and he flung 1t in
to his corner. But a little while aft
erwards, when he was counting his
coins, he caught his reflection In the
mirror. Then ne found that with its
aid he could double his fortune, and
now he spends all his spare time maxi
ing those eighteen cents look Ike
thirty-six.
Russell Sage Is not worried about
losing any Of his assets. There are
other monkeys housed with him, but
he il not afraid Of them. On the con-
trary. they give him wide berth.
Once-a long time ago--a concerted at
tack was made upon him with the pur-
pose Of robbing him. When II was
over there were many damaged mon
keys in the cage and Uncle RUSSELL
was not one Of them Since then he
has not been molested. He can whip
any and al Of them.
IL was different yesterday A little
gfri stood before the cage feeding the
monkeys with peanuts. Presently
Russell Sage came along. Nov, al
though ile will take anything he can
get foF nothing. Il Is q notorious fact
