Continued from Ninth Page.

and seven feet long. Every modern
convenience is to be provided for the
passengers, even electric hair curriers'
for women and electric cigar lighters
for men. Each compartment will be
ventilated separately. and windows
will be raised and lowered by pressing
a button.
When the nights ride is over the
framework of the compartments will
be rolled into the walls and into the
floor, the beds will be folded into
chairs, and the car will be transformed
into a vestibuled coach within half an
hour
The combination sleeping and dining
cars will have a ten foot apartment
added between the berths and the rear
dressing room. Temporary tables will
be placed between chairs. 1t is claim
ed for the sleepers that the sleeping
cOnveniences will be superior to those
used in the ordinary Pullman. The
cost of riding will be far less than the
rates charged in the others. During q
nights run from Boston to New York
it Will be possible to obtain an entire
compartment for 81. Single berths
will cost 81, but two travellers Occu-
plying the same compartment can get
it for 81.
Owing to the fact that there will be
no cinders and dust will be Obviated,
the car windows of the sleeper may be
left open all night. Over the Boston
and New York electric line the cars
will be run at about half the speed at
tanned by the steam roads.
Each car will be fifty TO sixty-five
feet long and will cost 21,OOO. 1t will
be about two-thirds as heavy as the
regulation Pullman sleeper. The power
under these sleepers will be four mo-
tors, one to each axle. generating 600
horse power and capable of an ordi-
nary rate of sixty miles an hour.
This new development of the trolley
is only a natural step in the wonderful
progress of electric transportation, and,
In fact, has been foreshadowed by eX-
periments in both this country and
abroad. Few persons realize that it
is only sixteen years since the first
"broomstick" car was given trial.

Bresnahan.. Batting Advice.

In an article recently written on the
science of batting, Roger Bresnahan,
the New York Nationals heavy hitting
center fielder, gives some advice which
should be valuable to amateur players.
He says:
'The man who stands close to the
plate while at bat and bears in mind
that every pitcher, no matter who he is
or what his reputation may be, must
put the ball over the rubber, can, with
practice, become good and, 1 may
say, a dangerous hitter even if he has
not got the natural ability OF some of
the great batters of the past and pres
ent. One very bad fault many young
players have is the habit Of pulling
away from the plate, as II is called,
when ball looks as though it might
possibly hit the batter. How many
times have you seen a man step back
from curved ball which a second aft
er "cut the plate" and was called a
strike, much to his discontinue? The
remedy for this, 1 think, is a simple
one, which can be mastered by any
young man possessing the necessary
confidence. 1t is simply to step for
ward and meet the ball before it cross
es the plate. In this way the ball is al
ways in front of the batter, and he is,
so to speak, on top Of it before it
breaks"

One of the most remarkable in
stances Of the power of personal popu-
larity is furnished by Manager Dono-
van of the st. Louis Nationals. With
a weak club and holding seventh po-
sition in the league, the same place the
American club holds, he draws more
people than the Americans, and there
is less abuse directed toward him.
1t cost the Nationals $1,000 this sea-
son to retain Donovan, but 1t was a
good investment. 1t is said that the IN
popularity of the St Louis Browns is
due to the players ugly disposition to-
ward the fans. When they win at
home and the fans give them praise
they return insulting remarks, but
when the Browns lose the rooters hand
out sarcastic remarks in large chunks.

WASHINGTON LETTER
rspecial Correspondence.l


William A. King. chief statistician
for vital statistics for the census office,
gives some interesting and pertinent in
formation on the much discussed sub
ject of race suicide" According to the
figures in his possession there is little
to support the theory that the United
States is threatened with race eXtermi-
nation. Turning to the records. he pro-
duced figures showing that in the year
1900, when the census enumerators
were at work. there were 2,049, l32
children born in the United States and
the total number of deaths reported
during the same period was 1,039,O94.
In other words, there were 1,O10,O3S
more births than deaths.
Does that look much like race sui
cide?' " inquired Mr.. King. You must
bear in mind also that these figures do
not represent the exact number OF
births and deaths in that year, for the
reason that our data were incomplete
because there is no uniform and rigid
law requiring the registration of births
and deaths. Birth statistics are the
most incomplete and unsatisfactory of
any we have to deal with, while death
statistics more nearly represent the ac-
tuaI number of persons who died. The
number Of unrecorded births is, there
fore, undoubtedly larger than the num-
Der of unregistered deaths, giving still
stronger proof that we are not dying

Mount Vernon Mansion CrumbIing.
In an effort to preserve from further
decay the tomb and mansion of George
Washington at Mount Vernon force
of men under the direction of Superin-
tendent II. II. Dodge is treating the
limestone of which the tomb is built
with a vulcanizing process which 1t is
supposed will make it waterproof and
imperishable. Similar treatment will
be given the stone foundation of the
mansion.
Some time ago Superintendent Dodge
noted that the stones of the old tomb.
the one built by General Washington,
in which his body and that of his wife
rested until 1881. were in such a condi-
ton of decay that with penknife or
even with n finger nail one could easily
scrape away large surfaces of the
stones. They had decayed owing to
damp climatic conditions. Further in
vestigation disclosed that the sandstone
foundations of the historic mansion In
which General Washington lived were
undergoing a like process of disintegra-
ton and that with small effort they
could be made to crumble. 1t is evil
dent that If the process now being
used on the stones is not success the

t1on sargent will in all probability
adopt new policy in the near future
to prevent immigrants afflicted with
the two dreaded contagious diseases Of
trachoma and favus from gaining ad-
mission into the United States. The
plan he IS now considering is the ap-
pointment of medical officers connected
with the public health and marine hos
pitaI service TO be stationed at all for
eign ports of embarkation to make q
medical examination of emiGrants who
intend coming 10 this country. Mr..

CRANE TALKED OF
Name of Superintendent w. !. Crane
Among Those Mentioned As Pos.
sibIe Successor to President Beard
shear, of Iowa State College.

At a meeting of the trustees OF the
Iowa State College, of Ames, held IN
that city Thursday, among the names
brought UP by the special committee
the field for successor to the late
President Beardshear that Superin-
tendent w. l. Crane was mentioned. No
action was taken at that meeting as the
committee was given more time to In
yestigate the matter. This morning
|C. l.. Gabrielson, trustee from the
Fourth district, and w. r. Moninger,
from the Fifth district, were in confer
ence with Superintendent Crane re-
garding the matter. Whether or not
the offer will be extended to Mr.. Crane
will not be known until some later
date.
When seen Mr.. Crane said that he
was in no wise a candidate for the
position, and was not aware that his
name had been mentioned. He said
he wanted to remain in Marshalltown,
at the head OF the schools here, even
tho 1t might be at sacrifice to him.
in order that he might carry out the
objects he had in view when he chose
this city, above number of others. in
which to build up the school sys-
tenn.
The fact that Mr.. Cranes name was
mentioned as a possible candidate for
the presidency of the state institution
is indeed complimentary to him and to
Marshalltown, and shows that his abii-
lily as an educator is recognized by the
trustees of the college.
