People who are compelled to ride in
cold street cars in winter weather will
be interested in an incident which took
place in Germantown, Pa. the other
day. 1t appears that the trolley COM
pany does not heat it's cars in that
place, and the citizens decided upon a
novel method of procedure. A COM
mittee was appointed to put the plan
into execution. Accordingly fifteen
men, each bearing an oil heating stove,
boarded car and rode all about town.
to the intense amusement of hundreds
Of passengers who got on and off the
cars. After making a complete round
Of the line the men with the oil stoves
went to hotel, where reception was
held. It is said these trips will be kept
up until the company agrees to heat it's
cars. But that may be long time, as
it usually takes something warmer
than an oil heater to thaw out street
car company.

The rural free postal delivery system
promises to give congress some trou-
bic, particularly in regard to the
amount of compensation which shall
be given the rural carriers. When the
service was started, compensation was
placed at $500 a year, and it was ex-
pected that sufficient number Of car
riers would be glad to obtain the posi-
tons at that figure. The trouble is that
on some routes the pay is sufficient,
while on others it is entirely made
quate, and several proposals have been
made as to the exact sum that would
best cover all locations. The postmas-
ter general has increased the compen-
sation from $500 to $500 and then from
$500 to $500 year, but even the latter
figure was not satisfactory, and he has
asked to be relieved Of the responsible
'1ty of fixing the salary, turning the
question over to congress. It is pointed
out that in private life wages differ in
diferent localities, but with the post
Office one fixed rate is given for all ru-
raj carriers, and the new figure will
probably be based on an estimate suf-
acient to obtain employees in the most
expensive parts of the country. The
trouble with adopting a varying scale
In accordance with varying wages paid
in different localities is that each con-
gresham would insist that the rural
carriers Of his state be treated as liber-
ally as those of any other.

Some Rather ELOQUENT Figures.

There are times when it may fairly
be said that figures are eloquent
instance, the figures set forth in a tab
ular statement just given out by the
treasury bureau Of statistics in Wash
fngton, which shows in compact form
the material progress of the United
States in the century from 1900 to 1900.
The area of the republic, excluding
Alaska and the island possessions, in
creased from s27, s44 to 3, O25, 800 square
miles, the population from 5,3OS, 4S3 to
76,303,3S7 and the population per
square mile from GAL to 1922.
There were 9O3 postoffces in the
country at the beginning of the centu-
~ and 76,6SS at the end. Receipts
from the service grew from $3.50, SO4 to
$1O2, 354,579. In 1910 there were $50
newspapers in the country, and in 1900
there were 20,9O6. Railroads first show
up in 1880, with twenty-three miles.
When the century ended, the mileage
was 194,321. We have statistics Of
cotton production from the beginning,
when it was 155, $50 bales, growing to
1885, 16. But statistics of pig iron start
with 1920, when the production was
10000 tons; in 1900 it was 49,
789,242. The first record of gold is
$2,463 in 1870 It reached $5O,OOO,OOO
in 1850 and over $79,OOO,OOO in 1900.
Figures for wheat and corn do not
come until 1870, when they were 1885,
8S4,7O bushels for the former and
1904, 255, 900 for the latter. In the last
year of the century they stood at 522,-
225,5O5 for wheat and 2,1O5. 1O2, SIG for
corn. American vessels engaged in for
eign trade only increased from 669, 921
tons to S26,694, while those engaged in
domestic trade grew from 3O1,919 to
4,33S, 145. Commerce on the great
lakes starts in 1920 with $500 tons
and shows l,565,5S7 in 1900.
These are only sample figures, but
they are sufficient to indicate how
marvellous has been our national
growth and development in a century,
which as nations count their ages is not
such long time

According to the Chicago Tribune,
there were lis legal executions during
the past year and 135 lynchings, a de-
crease of one execution and an in
crease of twenty lynchings over the
previous year. These figures show that
in one respect there has been no ad-
vancement, but rather retrogression.
But possibly this very circumstance,
by bringing the facts home to the ma
ton, will lead to the abolition of this
form of lawlessness by stringent &C.
ton.

Our Engines Of War.

The launching of the new battleship
Missouri the other day is a reminder
that we have several other powerful
ironclads in process Of construction.
Three classes of vessels are represent
ed among our more recent battleships
viz, the Alabama class, the Maine
class and the Virginia class and they
respectively represent the evolution in
shipbuilding which has occurred dur
ing the past decade.
| In the Alabama class there are five
vessels, as follows: The Kearsarge, the
Kentucky, the Illinois, the Alabama
and the Wisconsin, all Of which are
row in commission and are doing &C.
| tive service.
In the Maine class there are three
vessels, as follows: The Missouri, to be
completed March Is, 1903; the Maine,
to be completed Oct. 1, 1902, and the
Ohio, to be completed May s, 1908. The
vessels belonging to the Maine class
are much larger than those belonging
to the Alabama class, but they are
greatly inferior to those belonging to
| the Virginia class.
In the Virginia class there will be,
according to provisions already made,
five immense ironclads, as follows: The
Georgia, the Nebraska, the Rhode Is
land, the New Jersey and the Virginia.
The first three were authorized March
3, 1899. and the last two June Z, 1900.
| The vessels Of the Alabama class
have a displacement Of 1925 tons,
those of the Maine class will have a
displacement of 1880 TONS and those
| Of the Virginia class will have dis
placement of 1913 tons. But the YES
| sells of all three classes will be much
larger than either the Oregon or the
| Iowa.
| Whether the fighting craft which
congress shall authorize will be larger
than those for which provision has al
ready been made remains to be seen,
but certainly there has been an ex-
traordinary development in the build
ing of battleships during the last dec
ade. In worlds navies as we'll as mer-
chant marine these are the days of big
ships

The Sex Of . State IN Law.

With a sort Of poetic or rhetorical
license we have been wont to refer to
states. cities and other geographical di.
visions as being of the feminine gen
der, but it is not recalled that any
court of competent jurisdiction" has
ever given legal sanction to such q
designation. We may now perhaps
lave authoritative utterance upon that
point from the supreme court of the
United States, which ought to be COM
petent to decide almost anything.
There is now before that high court
document in which a commonwealth
is designated in legal parlance as a
person in the feminine gender. This is
the case of 'the state of Minnesota.

Minnesota attorney general the state
Is referred to as the 'oratrix," which,
according to Webster, means "a wo-
man plaintiff or complainant in equity
pleadings.'
It Is the feminine form of 'orator,"
which is an ancient English law term,
meaning I'm equity proceedings one
who prays for relief, a petitioner; q
plaintiff or complainant in a bill in
chancery," though we believe it is not
now generally employed in legal docu-
ments in this country and is rarely
seen in the reports of legal proceed
ings. Its earliest usage is found in an
old English lawbook, "Paston's Let.
ter" where this reference appears:
mickey besechyth your hyghness,
your poore and trew contynuall serv-
ant and oratour, John Paston." A
century or two later it is found in
''Bradford's Letters in this form:
"Your continual orator, John Careless,
the most improbable servant of the
Lord"
But all this may be objected to as ir.
relevant and fmmaterial. If, however
the federal court Of highest jurisdic
ton in returning its decision upon the
equity pleadings in question refers to
the commonwealth as an "oratrix,' ~
we shall have ample legal as we'll as
poetic warrant for calling Minnesota q
fair and buxom female. And if Mime.
sofa is feminine in law then so must be
regarded her sister states.
