people from the Western Reserve. Sew
eral counties in Kew York state held
enthusiastic and well attended old
home week celebrations last year, ana
it is proposed to inaugurate the Gus
tom in the province of Ontario.
Ex-Governor Rollins of New Hamp-
shire. father of the idea, has recently
received requests for old home litera-
ture from the Irish members of parlia-
ment. 1t has taken less than hVe years
for the old home week idea to cross the
Atlantic.
The old home week reunions have q
business as well as sentimental slde
1t has been the experience OF those
states that have held the reunions that
a great many people have been induced
to return and take up old homesteads
or to buy farms in the towns where
they were born and make their sum-
mcr homes there, and in NUMBER OF
cases people have permanently re-
turned to pass their declining years III
the place of their birth.
While the IOWDS anu ClticS nav -
ceived great practical Dement'S from
old home week, it is the opinion or
those who have been close observers
that greater benefit has come III the
renewed courage it has given the peo-
pie of the towns, the general uplift, the
SPUR that it has given them to improve
their condition in order that they may
each wear greet their returning sons
and daughters with new zest and snow
them the improvements made III their
towns during the year.
The tendency is now to have some
thing TO point to as accomplished our
ing the year pasta new piece OF ROAD
built. a new building erected, ne"
school established, debating society,"
a Iyceum or something else in the way
of progress. In some of the towns OIL
old home day they have taken occasion
to erect tablets of bronze or stone 10
their famous dead or those VINO were
horn in the place and have gone away
and made their names famous.
Thus the old home week idea' Whlcn
originated in sentiment has developer
practical features that commend IL as
business proposition. The idea Is grow
ing in popularity and seems des'lneu "
become widespread.

Paris and was born at Cannes. In this
she is unlike her famous brother. the
Duke of orleans, who considers him
self heir to the throne of France, and
her better known sisters. the queen of
Portugal. the Duchess d'Aosta and the
Duchess of Guise, all of whom were
born on the banks of the Thames In the
years when the Count of Paris was an
exile from France.
The Princess Louise is now in her
twenty-first year and is therefore sew
eral years older than the Spanish king.
This is of small consequence. however,
in view of her other qualifications.
OF late years the Countess of Paris,
mother of Princess Louise, has made
her home at Nillamanrique, near Sc
vile. and Princess Louise, now her
only unmarried daughter, and the Duke
de Montpensier, her nineteen-year-old
son, live with her. Should the project.
ed marriage with King Alfonso be
consummated the old countess will
have the satisfaction of having mar
ried her four daughters to representa-
tives of European royal houses.

WRECK OF MAINE AS 1T NOW APPEARS.
be only long enough to reach the mud
bottom. Great pumps will force the
water through them, driving away the
soft deposit. AS the water digs into the
mud the tubes will be extended by the
addition of other sections.
These tubes incline ut an angle Of
forty-five degrees, and there will be
1S4 of them on each side of the ship.
Their location must be so nicely calcu-
lated that when they are forced
through the mud they will join at right
angles beneath the keel Of the sunken
vessel. When the tubes from opposite
sides meet, the pumps on only one side
will be kept working. A wooden sphere
slightly smaller than the bore Of the
tubes will then be forced under the
vessel through the connected tubes. 10
this wooden sphere will be fastened
cord. This cord will be used to draw a
rope and the rope to draw through a
cable. When this is repeated 1S4 times
and the cables are strung under the
ship from stem to stern, both ends Of
the cables will be fastened to the hy-
draulic jacks.
The raising of the ship then becomes
a simple task, according to Mr.. Rich
ardson. The jacks will draw the ca
bles taut and thus gradually raise the
wreck above the surface of the water.
Once above the water the vessel will
be buoyed by alright casks sufficient
in number to support it. 1t can then
be towed to a dockyard in this country
and repaired.
1t was with the idea Of raising the
Maine that the inventor set about to
find a method to that end, but now
that he believes he has solved the prob
lem he intends to raise all the Spanish
war wrecks along the Cuban coast.
Many expert engineers and wreckage
men to whom the scheme has been
submitted believe it is practicable. All
that is how necessary is Uncle Sans
permission to begin work.
The entire expense of the work will
be borne by the inventor, who hopes
to be reimbursed by the exhibition and
sale of the ships So confident Is Mr..
Richardson in the success of his plan
that he fully expects to have one or
more of the ships up next summer. So
the i'll fated Maine after her years Of
repose in Cuban mud may once more
gladden. the hearts Of the patriotic,
fully restored to her original strength
and usefulness.

Elimiastins the Grade Crossing.

Eltminstins the Grade Crossing.
The work Of dispensing with the
deadly grade crossing progresses all
too slowly In svsry part OF the country,
aud IT will probably be bng time be
fore this source Of public danger Is
wholly eliminated even In the thickly
populated sections.
In 1897 the New York legislature
passed q law providing an annual ap-
preparation Of 100000 TO pay the
states share OF removing existing
grade crossings. This share was TO be
One-Quarter OF the expense Of remov-
Ing an existing crossing. the municipal
ity to pay one-Quarter and the railroad
one-half.
Under this act s4OO,0 600 could be ex-
pended annually. The work, however,
has gone on at the rate OF only $4,000
per annum until 1902. and then no ap-
preparation was made by the state.
This practically stopped the removal
Of these dangerous grade crossings,
which, as rule. are not allowed in Eu-
rope. According to the Railroad Ga
zette. only about sixty-five of the $500
grade crossings in New York have been
abolished since 1897, at which rate II
would take 1872 years to get rid of those
now in existence In the state.
Pennsylvania Ia doing somewhat bet
ter than the Empire State In getting
rid OF the grade crossings, but this is
In part at least due TO the fact that
some Of the railroads are working in
this direction for self protection.
Massachusetts, makes a very much
better showing than either New York
or Pennsylvania. The Bay State pro-
v!des for an expenditure of $500 900 an
nually for this purpose. The railroads
have to pay IS per cent of the cost. the
state 25 per cent and the municipality
about 10 per cent Decision in the mat
ter rests With the railroad commission.
Millions have been spent in Massachu-
setts In getting rid of grade crossings,
and a. q result the percentage of this
class Of accidents has been greatly re-
duced.
The grade crossings cause many ac-
cidents. impede traffic and hinder the
improvement Of adjacent property, and
1t should he the policy of the railroads
as we'll as the public to eliminate them
as speedily as possible.

TO RAISE THE MAINE
HOW ENGINEER RICHARDSON MAY
FLOAT BATTLesHIP.

Ingenious Plan Devised TO Lift ships
From Oceans Bed-sunken Spanish
Cruisers May Also he Raised and
Restored.
Unless the plans Of the engineers are
all awry the wreck Of the battleship
Maine, which has lain In the mud at
the bottom Of Havana harbor since
Feb. Is. 1898, will be raised from its
ignoble bed and once more breast the
curling wave.
The plans. which are now complete,
are the result of constant study since
the Spanish war by Mr.. George Rich
ardson OF Chicago, an engineer OF ex-
perience. The scheme itself is simple,
although ii involves a great deal of Ia
Dor and will require three months to be
put into execution. But before any.
thing further can be done IL will be
necessary 10 secure the consent Of the
government
At the next session of congress the
United States will be asked to release
Its ownership in the sunken vessel and
also to turn over TO Mr.. Richardson the
Spanish ships that lie beneath the wa
tiers of the southern coast of Cuba. II
congress will grant the privilege, work
will be at once begun by Mr.. Richard
son on one of the sunken Spanish ships,
as he thinks they can most easily be
raised. Ii is his intention. however, to
raise all the ships If his plan will work
at all.
In beginning the work several rows
of piles will be sunk parallel to each
side of the wreck. These piles will rest
on the hardpan and will project sew
eral feet above the water. Upon the
piles will be built platforms capable OF
sustaining great weight. and upon the
platforms will be set hydraulic jacks.
The ingenious part of the scheme.
however. is not in this part OF the pro-
posed work. but in the method Of plac.
ing the cables beneath the wrecks. The
principal part of the device for running
the cables under the sunken ships con-
sists merely of hollow steel tubes ten
inches or more in diameter. These
tubes. each section of which Is about
six feet long, will serve as a spout
through which jet of water is TO be
forced. In the beginning the tubes will

CLERKS UNION.
Membership Increased to Nearly One
Hundred.

Hundred.
The Retail Clerks union held a regu-
lar meeting last night at which twenty
seven anne were added to the mem
bership, now making the total enroll
ment of the clerks organization nearly
100 members.
The charter of the clerks union will
be kept open for two weeks longer as
there are quite a number of clerks
to enroll, who have not had an oppor.
tunity to do so.
b. Frank Fillmore was elected as
treasurer to fill the position made va
cant by the resignation OF Hugh G.
Trotter, who was granted an honorary
withdrawal card, on account Of becom.
ing an employer, the by laws providing
that no proprietor can hold active
membership.
Five delegates to the Central Labor
Union were elected, who will present
their credentials at the next meeting,
one week from Monday night.
Nearly every one of the larger es-
adjustments in the city are represent
ed in the union. and all the smaller
ones where clerks are employed. All
will be in line in a very short time, as
the forming of unions seems to have
become epidemic in our city. 1t is a
sure sign of progress and a guarantee
of the intelligence of the working peo.
pie of the city.

BROWNS IN TOWN."
He was Here for the Ell Paso Times
and Collected In Advance.

w. o. Brown, who worked up the
Albuquerque side of the recent special
edition of the Ell Paso Times, has
proved himself to be a fakir of the
worst kind; or rather a fakir smart
enough to squeeze money out of ad-
vertisers in advance for write-ups, and
as a later consequence he has skipped
out. Brown had no authority to col
lect in advance, but he did, and the
gentleman from the Times, now in the
city, finds it a hard proposition to col
lect any money at all, for Browns in
Town" has been here in advance.
Brown was a nice fellow in Ell Paso,
he was the honest bookkeeper at the
Times office, and on account of his
good record at home, Brown was sent
out of town to do business elsewhere.
Juan Hart now realizes that Brown,
the honest Browns in Town" at home
was not the proper person to send
away, and that the Times will be the
loser. His present whereabouts is un-
known.
