UNDER ONE HEAD.
Chain Of Electric Lines Are TO be
Combined in the Eastern States.

Reading, Pa, Dec. 11.-An official
of the Interstate Railways Co., a
charter for which was granted in
Camden, y. j., several days ago, said
yesterday that the deal to take in the
United Power and Transportation
Co. had been consummated, but that
it would take fully two weeks before
all the details are completed by the
attorneys and the organization per-
fected. He added that the men at the
head of the concern are among the
leading financiers of the country.
w. w. Light, of Reading, treasurer
Of the Interstate Railway Co., has
sent out a call for % per cent. of the
capital stock, and the money is now
coming in. The United Power and
transportation Co. controls over $50
miles of railways in eastern Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey and all these,
it is said, will be embraced in the
new corporation, in addition to many
others. Associated in the new com
pany are Reading, Philadelphia and
New York capitalists. Pennsylvania
railroad interests, it is said, are
largely represented, as well as many
of those interested in the great
transportation companies of Greater
New York.
The lawyers are still at work on
the plans and the details may not be
ready for some time. The plans of
the Interstate are still imperfect. as
far as information for the public is
concerned, but in general way it
can be stated that it will operate a
great chain of city and electric SUI
burban lines and plants in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Delaware and New
York. Philadelphia will be connect
ed by direct line with all leading
cities within radius of from 50 to
rs miles.

TRAIN DEMOLISHED.
Firenan and Engineer OF n Santa Fe
Passenger Train Meet Death,

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 9.-The east
bound California limited passenger
train on the Santa Fe was wrecked
at Rothville, SO, yeterday, causing
the death of Engineer Samuel Wise,
of Argentine, Kan, and his fireman,
Alexander IIaviland of Topeka, and
did great damage to the engine and
coaches. John Mexican, of New York,
who received slight bruises, was the
only passenger injured. Three col
ored walters were injured, but not
fatally. Congressman Loud, of Cali
fornia, and Rabbi Hirsch, of Chicago,
were among the passengers and
helped to care for the injured.
The wreck was caused by the de-
railment of the coaches on an open
switch, which the engine had passed
safely. the engine going at a high
rate of speed. The train was almost
demolished. Twenty-tlree of the
passengers were brought to this city
on an accommodation train and most
of them resumed their journey.

THE ARMY CANTEEN.
AntI-SaIOOn League VIII Fight Amy
Attempt 10 Isc-EStabIish II.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE most inn
portant action yesterday of the Ma
tional Anti-Saloon league now hold
ing its annual session here was the
adoption of an address to the public
on the army cantecn question, in
which the charge is made that high
army officials have persistently pur-
sued Il course extremely unfavorable
to the anti-canteen law of congress,
and pledging the association to do its
utmost to defeat any attempt to re-
peal the law until it has had a full
and fair trial. The address says:
what is popularity known as the
anti-canteen law has been in force
less than two years, Immediately fol
lowing many years trial of the can
teen law and after a large number of
soldiers had contracted the drink
habit-accordng to lne omcial re-
port. just published. of the inspector
general of the division of the Phil
ippines in II companies investigated
between 10 and 80 per cent. of the
men drink to excess habitually.
Congress at its last session ap-
propriated 100000 to- build, equip
and maintain suitable buildings at
army posts for the recreation and So
ciability of the men, and also in
creased the ratons of the men five
cents per day, thereby enabling them
to secure comforts without depending
on the profits of an army saloon. Be
cause of the shortness of time, these
appropriations have not as yet, eX-
cept in very limited degree, been
utilized by the army.
High army officials have most per
sistcntly pursued a course extremely
unfricndly to this law and pursued it
in a way that has thrown the whole
influence of the war department, with
the soldiers. on the side of distrust
Of and dissatisfaction with the law
and have persistently published mis-
leading reports as to the effects Of
the law.
Notwithstanding the shortncss of
the time the law has been in force,
the frightful decentralization of the
army through the drink habit under
the cantcen law. the utter unfriend-
Iiness to the anti-canteen law of the
war department aHj the pon-test of
the substitutions possible through the
wise use of the above appropriations
by bycongrcss-notwithstanding all this
the official reports of court-martials
show that the trials per 1000 men

three years of the canteen liquor sell

An Immortal Play Greeted With
Large Houses Every Night.

One cannot help but wonder why it is
that Uncle Toms Cabin" al &ays proves
a drawing card. and yet there is nothing
very wonderful about it when once the
plot and presentation of this realistic
drama is taken into consideration. We
have read "uncle Toms Calin' as
many as twenty times, and always with
absorbing interest; and so, too, we have
seen it presented on the stage forty
times. and it seems as ii We enjoyed the
last better than any previous rendition.
There are some plays like "Uncle Toms
Cabin and "Trip Van Wrinkle" that will
never wear out. There is that about the
plot OF "Uncle Toms Cabin" combina-
tion of d anna, comedy, with humor and
pathos, all blended so naturally and real
that the audience lives through
it all, become part of the players on the
stage, and have their sympathies aroused
to degree that makes them feel as if
they were witnessing real drama OF
everyday life.-Ingersoll. AS presented
by the Warren & Day New York Com
pany rare treat is expected. In Cor
Wallis for one performance only. The

PUBLIC EXPECTATION.

Considerable discussion con.
corning candidates for U. S.
senator to succeed Senator Simon
is being indulged in. Members
of the legislature may discover,
between this and the meeting oi
that body that the people of the
state expect three things: That
there is no legislative hold-up,
nor neglect of needed legislation
because a senator is to be chosen;
that the man chosen shall be a
republican in accord with repub-
lican politics; that the best quail
ifed man available shall be Sc
lected.
The mass of our people care
little within these lines who may
be chosen, and the members OF
the legislature should look we'll
to it that mere personal parti.
sanship does not warp their judg-
ment nor cloud their vision.
