BIG FOUR IMPROVEMENTS
REDUCING GRADES, ELIMINATING
CURVES, LAYING DOUBLE TRACK.
The Baltimore & Ohio Will Expend
$20O,OOO,OOO i'm improvements
General and Personal Notes.

G. z. Schaff general manager of the Big
Four. j. Q. Van Wrinkle. general superln
tendent. and George Kittredge. chief en-
gineer. yesterday spent the day in going
over the portion of the st. Louis division
between Lena and Terre Haute for the
purpose of deciding on laying a second
track for twenty-three miles between these
two points. When this is completed, Us
miles out Of 263 of the ST. Louis division
will be double-tracked. While these i'm
provements are being pushed. work on the
Cincinnati division Is progressing rapidly,
and by Oct. the cutoff between Green's
burg and Smiths crossing will be COM
pleted, considerably cutting down the grade
and eliminating ten curves. Further down
the work of the new cutoff is progressing
rapidly, and large force of men, steam
shovels and gravel trains are in service.
This work will not be completed for some
time as Ii is much more extensive than
was the Greensburg cutoff. 1t Is under
stood to be the intention Of President In
gals to double track the entire ST Louis
division and a portion of the old Bee-line
division, and when the Indiana Midland.
now controlled by the Big Four. is COM
pleted. 1t also will be utilized by the Big
Four in handling it's immense traffic; the
old Midland line will be used largely for
coal movement 1t is evident that these
improvements have been undertaken none
too soon, visit to the city freight de-
pots and bulk tracks at indianapolis gives
evidence that more track Is needed to
handle the freight. The city freight depots
are now, as are those of all other roads,
used to their utmost capacity. and there
Is some delay in unloading freight on ac-
count of the crowded conditions.

New York Press.
What probably is the queerest of places
for hiding money has just been revealed by
the death in Paris of Louis Kerki, a sup
posed pauper, who for years had received
relief from the authorities. The other even
ing he was found dead in his room, with
stuffed monkey clasped fondly in his arms.
The gendarme who was summoned no
tced that there was slit in the monkeys
skin, and out of curiosity he thrust a pencil
into the aperture. This led to the discovery
that the monkey was filled with papers. The
gendarme drew out letter which stated
that the writer in fear of the burglars, had
placed his savings in the monkey and he
then tore open the animals body. 1t was
found to contain 81 600 i'm bank notes and Sc
curities to the value of s., 900.

The b. & O. Begin. improvements.

The Baltimore & Ohio proposes, before
contemplated improvements are completed,
to expend fully s2O00O0.OOO. Nine classical
tion yards, to hold $4,000 cars, will be con-
structed. to avoid congestion at that num-
Der OF division points. These figures are
based on official statements. Twenty-Five
million dollars is now being expended in
building seventy-five miles of entirely new
line from Haselton, near Youngstown, TO
Warwick, o. From Chicago Junction east
ward almost to Sullivan, a distance of
about twenty-five miles, a second track is
being laid. comparatively an air line, and
IL is proposed to build new line from
Pittsburg to Elwood City. The double
tracking of the Connellsville division is now
in progress, and in connection with the
Pennsylvania Company in Washington the
next year about sl6,0O0,000 will be spent. In
point of new equipment for the passenger
and freight service the system is second
TO none in quantity and quality. but 1t is
not yet content, and will build thousands
more freight cars and hundreds of en-
gines.

Pacer's Stride Twenty-one Feet

ne HOrSenan.
 In his attempt at tho New York State Fair to beat the worlds record by Star Pointer five years ago, Dan Patch's stride al the half-mile post was just twehty-one feet, this, too. in the teeth of a strong wind. Two hundred and fifty-one of such strides were necessary to win out, strides that carried him forty-four feet each sec- ond of time. But for the wind he would have held them to the end, sure, and would have won the worlds record. How steady and strong he was growing at the halt-mile post was evidenced by the fact that, standing on the track and looking either way as far as the eye could see his footprints a line drawn from end to end would with but the slightest varia- ton. have passed through the center of each.
 Lord Derbys stride under the same conditions was nineteen feet three inch es Going the mile in 2:06
 The strides of these horses were meas ured and found to be as reported. The stride is the distance of grSAind covered between the off hind footprint, for in stance, and the next of hind footprint. Dan Patchs stride did not vary for many rods. Some horses going at high speed slip six or seven inches on the track. but 1t is not so with Patch. He almost lifts his feet from the ground where he lands them, and he does not leave them on the gfound long at a time, either.
 It may he interesting to know these facts, and if you would appreciate the wonderful length of a horses stride at high speed measure off tWenty-one feet and look 1t over.

A RAD HARIT

Some of the Chicago people are rebell ing-or trying to rebei-against the prac- tlce of tipping walters at hotels and res- taurants but whether they will abolish the custom is another matter. What de- fence is there for this custom? Why should a man pay two fees for a meal or lodging? In other words, if he pays the keeper of a hotel or restaurant full price for what he gets is 1t right for him to pay the waiter also? It looks as if there could be no argument on such a proposition, yet We have frequently seen the statement made that people who go into certain hotels and eating houses and refuse to tip the walters find 1t almost impossible to get any attention after their first refusal to be bled.
 We think there can be no controversy over the general principle that those who keep houses for the accommodation of the public and charge for the service should employ sufficient help and pay for it themselves. What would be thought of a railroad company If its employees refused to serve the public unless each passenger or consignee paid bonus to the employees? And what would be thought of a first-class mercantile estab- lishment If each customer had to tip the clerks in order to get waited on?
 Yet where is the difference? If a man goes into a hotel or restaurant he ex- poets to pay his bill at the counter, but if he has already paid the waiter does he get any deduction from his bill? Not in this world, at least. Yet where the tipping habit is general a waiter can make it so unpleasant for visitor, es- pecially if the latter has lady or ladies with him, that the imposition is submlt- ted to in self-defence. It Is outrageous, but the only remedy is for everybody to refuse to be gouged and that is impossi- ble, for no such general determination can be enforced. The tipping will go on and people must submit.

IS TT A JOKEP

The Selma Times appears to think The Advertiser is in the wrong because it re- fuses to favorably consider Carter liar rison's Presidential aspirations. and says:
 Give us a nominee like Harrison. Hearst or Parker and the Democracy will march to victory, if Roosevelt Is nominated by the Republicans.
 The Advertiser has no objections to of fer to Judge Parker, but to name him in the same breath with the other two strikes us as fine bit of sarcasm, though The Times is apparently in earnest. As far as Hearst is concerned we hardly think anybody can look seriously on him as a suitable man for the Democrats to nominate. If he has anything except his money to recommend him We have not been able to see 1t, and to prefer him to Olney, Whitney, Parker or even to Hill or German looks like joke.
 But what element of strength does liar rison possess, under tAe conditions which are bound to prevail in 1904? The Times has not kept up with recent events if it has failed to see that Harrison. If nomi- mated, would be the Bryan candidate. It has been announced, and not denied. so far as we have noticed. that MT. Bryan will assist Mayor Harrison in his candi- dacy for reelection, and that he will do so because the two are In accord on policies which the National Democracy will never en- dorse and upon which 1t will be impos- sibe to elect a President If we are go- ing to hark back to 1900 or 1896 we will do much better to take Bryan and have done with it. As well take up Tom John son as Harrison, and Hearst Is less avail able than either. The party can find a real Democrat If 1t will, and no other kind will stand any show of success.
