A YANKEE ALADDIN
 IN OLD ENGLAND
Continued from Page Eleven.)

combination in the United States, at it's head. In addition to these, there are many smaller electrical companies which are entirely British, hut the bulk of the electrical machinery used here in the fu- ture will be made in the works originated by the Americans. The people here want American machinery, and even the en- glneers of municipalities frequently stip- ulate in their contracts that their engines, cars and dynamos shal be of American make.
 They Deal in Millions.
 Of all the electrical works. however. the British Westinghouse Company has by far the greatest. It has put more money into it's bushes and is doing everything on the largest scale. It's capital is S10,- coo, GOO and it is already paying per cent dividends on its preferred stock. I get this from statement made by Mir. George Westinghouse at a meeting of the share holders in London not long ago. In his speech he referred first to the wonderful prosperity of the Pittsburg works, which had paid per cent. dividends right along on a capital of $20, 900 900 and at the same time accumulated a surplus. He said that the British company during the past year had made enough to give the preferred stockholders per cent. and in addition a surplus of $90,000. This had been done although all the orders had to be exe- cuted in America. and now that the works in Great Britain were in operation the profits should be much larger.
 In this speech MT. Westinghouse spoke of the gas engines which were being made in the United States and which will be also turned out here in Manchester. He believes that gas rather than steam is to be the future motive power and Is making simple gas engines at Pittsburg which will furnish as high as 2,5oo horse power.
 I am told that the works here are al- ready loaded with contracts, among which are some of the largest contracts ever issued. One is tho transformation of the Mersey tunnel railway at Liverpool from steam to electricity. and others are the power houses and equipment of the enormous railroad system of underground London. The Metropolitan roads. which are headed by Mir. Yerkes. will have six ty-nine miles of double lines and the Dis trict Railway. which runs outside these, will have thirteen miles of double line, the cars of both companies running to a certain extent over the tracks of the other.

big as they really are. the passengers gasp for the seventy-fifth time and all join in one unanimous decision. What really remarkable road the Short Line
 W. s. Stratton, the carpenter who be- came a millionaire when he found gold at Cripple Creek. is the principal owner of the Short Line. In fact, 6tratton owns Creek and Colorado Springs. He owns the street railways, most of the paying gold mines and has a dip into many Of the other paying investments in the new country" stratton is generally the companies have found" him so often that he has given strict instructions to his house servants to say that he is not lat home" in the event that the caller looks like busted" comedian or comedi- enne. But he has established this rule simply because he doesn't like the idea of being worked" He still dispenses charity in a lavish way and recently he gave to the city of Colorado Springs a public park, getting In return the honor of having the breathing spot named for him. People in Denver, who have heard of the charitable instincts of the owner of the Short Line, are trying to induce him to buy the Brown Palace Hotel. He holds mortgage on it. Children's homes and Rescue societies can always depend upon him. Not long ago he gave a min ing exchange" building to the brokers in Colorado Springs.
 But Stratton. whatever he may do in the future, will never accomplish so re- markable a thing as he did in building the Cripple Creek Short Line, the longest short line in the world. The Short Line Is a wonder, more wonderful than Fixes Peak, the Garden of the Gods or the Col orado burro.
 People travel over Colorado and marvel at the railroad building, but when they reach the Short Line and get back to the Springs they're ready to go home. Some one might tell them that there are more remarkable things in Colorado-and a Misourian might ask to be shown-but the average man win let wonderful enough alone-hell just take a chance and save his money. s.

I figured out about when they ought to arrive, and went down to the postofflce to inquire for them.
 " No letters here for you.' said the postmaster, who was also a Justice of the Peace.
 They ought to have been here yes terday.' I said.
 " Couldn't have got here yesterday. as old Brown, who carries the mail. was drunk, and didn't go over to Iosco after it.
 And how about today?'
 Well, he's sober enough today. but his old woman has cut her foot
 But there will be a mail tomorrow I queried.
 'Skassly, sir. We don't have no mail on Thursdays
 Then how about next day?'
 Friday is sort of off day with the Iosco postmaster and he generally goes fishing. If he don't he sends the boy over. l never count on it, however, You seem to have a slipshod way of running postal affairs out in this country, said, as l turned away.

Some Old Church Laws.

In connection with the anniversary of the Bethel Primitive Methodist Chapel, Burnley, England. a souvenir handbook containing copies of old records has been issued. A minute passed in 1884 reads: That we do not allow young men and young women of our society to court with each other on Sunday: neither do we all low our single men and women to walk in the street together arm in arm at any time; neither do we allow them to stand at street corners chatting together" By another resolution the chapel authorities forbade girl choristers wearing bows in their bonnets.

A New Jim Blutisoe.

New York is praising today the courage of new Jim Bludsoe. the pilot whom secretary Hay immortalized in his Pike County Ballads Fred Kraus. Of the Puritan River line. is the new Bludsoe who put the nose of his burning steamer on the banks of the river and stuck to his post until every mothers soul was saved. Kraus was in the pilot house when the steamboat got afre near the engine room. and a dozen passengers. bound from New York to New Brunswick. was in his keeping. besides a crew of twenty-three. He stayed in the pilot house, his hands on the wheel, till every life dependent on his courage and con- science was safe.

Reduced Convention Rates :.

We learn with interest and great pleas ure of the success of Mrs. J. PmcRney Smith of New Orleans, Chairman of the Transportation Committee for the Con- vention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. which will meet in New Orleans, November 12-15. She sends out the welcome news that a rate of one fare for the round trip has been secured for at least a part of the territory, and will most probably be given generally. The lowest rate that has heretofore been con- ceded the U. D. c. was one and one- third ticket rate for the round trip, al- though great efforts have been made by the Transportation Committee of this body and their warm friends and sup porters each year, to procure the one cent per mile rate, the same given other large organizations and which would triple the attendance of the U. D. c. Certainly there Is no organization more worthy to merit this concession than this splendid assemblage of Confederate women and the causes for which they are banded. In advance we send our thanks and con- gratuqations to Mrs. J. Pinckney Smith for the success that has crowned her untiring efforts.
 We know we'll the big, warm Southern heart of Mrs. Smith, and feel that this is merely an advance guard of the warm Southern hospitality we are to re- ceive from Mrs. Smith and the charming women of her various committees, in the Crescent City"

U. D. c. Headquarters at New Or
 leans.


 in reference to the article in the Veteran for June concerning the Unfortunate Date" tor the U. D. c. Convention in November. I should like to state in re- ply that, while it is unfortunate that there should be two other conventions in New Orleans at that time. 1t is safe to say that the city can take care of them all. The Grunewald Hotel, one of the very best in the city, has been secured as headquarters for the United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, and the most fa- vorabie terms have been made with the management for the entertainment of delegates. Confederate Veteran.
 Jefferson Davis Arch Accepted.
 The following account of the June meet ing of the Board of Directors of the Jefferson Davis Monument Association. by Mrs. N. V. Randolph. Chairman of the Central Committee appeared in the July Confederate Veteran and will be of interest to our readers.
 ''The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Jefferson Davis Monument Asso- citation was held in Richmond, June 3-6. Of the twenty-five members, twenty-one were present. A more representative body of women never met. The first two meetings were held at the Confederate &kluScuUi, anu tuGN OlncI5 HI tu6 0SIdtC Chamber, where the models were on ex- hibition. These women representing the Southern States were present to do the will of the Convention held in Whining ton, which Convention had unanimously selected the styae of memorial and site of same. From many Of the newspaper accounts you would have thought it was very decided meeting, while in fact of the nineteen present, only two of them were for changing the style. Mrs. W. J. Behan of New Orleans. who although not favoring an arch had accepted the will of the Convention by appointing an artist to enter competition. The other, Miss Mary Amelia Smith of Virginia, who on seeing the models. and hearing the beautiful explanation by Mrs. Augustine Smith of Charleston, said she was per fectly satisfied. Although much outside pressure was brouEht to bear, the Dough- ters were determined to stand by their word and by the artists who without prize or reward, save to the fortunate one whose model was accepted. had given their time and talents. Mrs. Davis hav- ing expressed through the columns of The Pioayune of New Orleans. her opinion that this memorial was to be used ito beautify a noisy shopping street in the city of Richmond" to which she would never consent' nor 10 the form or an arch, Mrs. Smythe of Charleston. and Mrs. Edwin G. Weed of Florida, were sent on to New York to explain why this form was chosen. because we wished to pace to our chieftain memorial differ ent from any other in the South. and al- though memorial, it might suggest the triumphs of a principle and therefore in no aspect of the question was there any thing Inappropriate.
