The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is about to undertake the
most important improvement project
of all the vast work that has been in
a~ugurated since the reorganization of
the company. When ii is recalled
that in the last six years the company
has spent over SO. 00o. 600 in lettering
the physical AID equipment status
of the property it would seem that
such a statement is a sweeping one Ii
is. however. by no an exagger
alton of the project now about to be
started. This is nothing less than the
building of a new railroad some 200
miles l9ng that will shorten the dis
lance between Baltimore and Pittsburg
bv at least 80 miles and. in connection
with eut-offs to be built west Of Pitts
burgswill bring Chicago so miles nearer
Baltimore 50 far as travel by the Bal
timore and Ohio is concerned.
A most significant feature of this
new line is that it will utilize the
old South Penn route, which became
an object OF great popular interest
when originally planned as a lirk N
a line which would bring the Nfni,se-
bilt railroads to Baltimore, the
tern MARYLAND being the means q
cess to that city. At the time the
management of the Western MARYLAND
undertook to prepare the roadbed Of
tina property for the enlarged traffic
which was to come to 1t from this
promised connection.
The Pennsylvania Railroad. how
ever. was quick to head off this pro-
ject by an invasion of Vanderbilt ter
ritorv. and the two gigantic railroad
interests finally adjusted their differ
ences, with the result that the Nan-
derbilts abandoned their scheme to
add Baltimore to the list of important
terminals of their properties. Millions
of dollaes had beensspesat Dor the Old
South Penn projected in the acquir-
ing of rights Of way, the DELAYING OF
tunnels and heavy grading work III
the rough country through which il
would have passed.
While railroad men look upon the
step which the Baltimore and Ohio is
about to take as the logical advance
OF the broad improvement policy of
the management, there is no doubt
that the active progress of the Gould
plans in connection with the eastward
extension Of the Wabash and the
known intention of building a line
from Pittsburg to meet the Western
MARYLAND has accelerated the starting
of this big piece of work. If the South
Penn project was not utilized there
was nothing to prevent the Goulds
condemning a right of wav along the
same route.
The railroad now to be built may be
termed the middle section of the pro-
jectsof which it is the torerunner
From Bedford tine Traffic on this mid
die section VIII temporarily reach the
Baltimore and Ohio at Hvndman. via
the Pennsylvania railroad, until the
whole line is finished. Following the
construction of the middle section will
be an extension across the country &c
GratztowIr, on the Pittsburg and Con-
nellsyille railroad. not far from Pitts
burg. The southern end will come al
the same time, if not III advance OF
this line, and will extend + rom Bed

AdmiraIs of the Teeth.

There are dentists in the navy now
and they are rated as yeomen. They
feel the need of more rank and pay and
the National Dental Association has
interested itself in helping them to get
it. The House Committee on Naval At
fairs heard a number of leading den
lists discourse on the subject on Dec,
Is, and they were doubtless able to
make out good case for their cause.
The navy dentists will probably not
demand to be put in the line of promo
ton to be admirals, for their training
does not qualify them for such a place
If they reach some such footing as that
of the surgeons and chaplains that win
doubtless satisfy them, and their pre-
tentions to that much of advancement
are not unreasonable. Their profess
sion is coming up. In the matter of
ability to collect pecuniary rewards for
the exercise of their skill the leading
dentists in large cities are not much
behind the surgeons. No single thing
tends more to help mans social
standing than the ability to draw high
pay for respectable work. This the
modern dentist can do. Moreover, his
education is more careful and his pro-
fessional training more protracted and
complete than 1t used to be- Only last
week DIR. Lorenz was quoted as re-
minding some newspaper men that
surgery, like dentistry, Is almost al
together technique" The dentist Is
coming up in the world as the doctor
did before him-coming. up indeed SO
fast that he will probably resent as i'm
pertinent any suggestion that he has
not yet altogether arrived. In time the
navy dentist is likely to get what he
wants, and to be in a position to con-
dole with the navy chaplain upon the
inadequacy of his pay and uniform

WITH MUSICIANS AND
MUSICAL PEOPLE.

The news of the death of Mr.. w. f.
Blois, for many years one of the most
prominent singers in this city, came
with deep sorrow to his many friends.
Mr.. Blois was born in Savannah,
where he spent his early years, and
he began to sing when a very young
man. Between the years 1855 and 1890
he lived in New York city where he
took prominent position as a church
singer. During that time he held the
position of basso In Grace Church.
Upon his return to Savannah In 1890
he took a church choir position. and
from that date up to the time OF his
departure for New Orleans eighteen
months ago he has sung variously in
the choirs of the Synagogue, Christ.
Independent Presbyterian, and St
Johns churches, singing in the latter
the greater part of the time. Imme-
diately upon arriving in New Orleans
he was offered a choir position. but
his health, already becoming impair
ed, prevented him from accepting it.
Aside from being one OF the organ
izers of the Savannah Music club IN
1896 and one of it's most active work.
ers and supporters, Mr. Blois has al
ways been prominent identified with
musical entertainments given here for
charitable purposes, and has never
been known to refuse to give his serv-
ices for such affairs. There has prob
ably been no singer in this city who
has sung as frequently for charity as
did Mr.. Blois. and there have been
few eleemosinary institutions in Sa-
vannah that have not been beneficial

sugar, one cup of sweet milk, one tea
spoonful of vanilla extract. Break or
scrape the chocolate into tiny bits, and
put all the ingredients together into a
porcelain-lined kettle or agate kettle.
Stand over the fire, stir occasionally,
and let boil rapidly until it hardens
upon being dropped into cold water.
Remove from the fire and stir until 1t
begins to grain. Pour Immediately into
buttered pans and when firm and not
hard mark off into squares. If it is
desired to make it sugar, beat hard for
a fen minutes just before pouring into
the pans. A variation of this receipt
can be made by using rich, thick cream
in place of milk, emitting the butter.
Chocolate Creams-The usual meth
cd of making creams at home is 10
prepare an uncooked cream for the
centers, but what is known to confec-
TONERS as fondant is far richer and
more palatable. To prepare 1t some
care must be exercised, but If the di-
rections are carefully followed, there
should be no question as to the result.
AS the fondant can be made the foun-
dation of candies of several sorts, 1t is

boiling point. add two pinches of bak-
ing soda and stir once; then allow 1t
to boil until it forms a soft gum when
dropped in cold water. Take from the
fire and allow it to become cool, then
stir to a cream. Cover with damp
linen cloth and stand on ice until the
following day. In the morning put
half a pound of unsweetened choco-
late in a perfectly clean tin basin and
stand over the kettle to melt. Form
the fondant into balls and stand on
creased paper Thrust the point of
fork tightly into one at a time, dip
