pure speculation, consisting of
trades made by persons who do not
expect to receive or deliver bushel
of actual grain, explains Will Payne
in "The Chicago Board Of Trade"
in Century. This speculative trad
ing is not only the most prominent,
but is the most useful, of The boards
functions. Without it there could
not possibly be the broad market
which makes wheat a liquid asset
everywhere in the United States.
The speculative business means sim

which in your opinion Isl likely to-
advance in value, pay for it, 60 to-
the savings bank, mortgage the lot
and borrow onsi the major part Of
the purchase price, leaving invested
of yqlr own capital only enough
margin to secure the lender against
loss through fuct alton In value. 81

said to one Of his fellow travellers:
Have you read Lambs tales ~
No, but I have black sheep

''This anecdote struck me as pret-

For long time I was unsuccessful,

found the story from which the
Lamb one was derived.
Tt'was a story o. Q traveller on o

Treat i n,aa as ifsshe were q gen
tleman and he will rarely disap-
point you. In illustration of this
truth Mr. Crosse, author Of Ground
About the Carpathians, I, tells
good story of robber chief in Hun
gary. Years ago the Carpathian.
mountains were infested with or.
gained bands of robbers, and nei-
ther life nor property was safe. At
this time a lady Of great wealth, the
Countess a., who lived not far from
the main highway between Buda-
pest and Vienna, received q polite
note one morning Informing her
that twelve gentlemen would dine
with her at midnight. She under
stood what it meant. Il
TWAS impossible to summon help,
and well she knew that every ap-
proach to the castle would he guard
ed to prevent communication. In
this dilemma she made ready FOR her
unlimited guests.
at midnight up robe an armed
band, twelve p1en in oil. Immed;-
ately the gate bf the outer court and
the entrance door were thrown wide,
as if for the most honored and well
come guests. The countess stood at
the entrance to receive them, richly
dressed. She bade. the chief and his
men O gracious welcome, gave orders
that their horses be cared for and
then, taking the arm Of her guest,
led the way to the dining. hall. Here
q goodly feast was spread, and oil
the gold and silver plate of the cas-
tie was lavishly displayed.
The leader of the robber band
started back in surprise; but, recov-
ering his self possession, he seated
himself beside his charming hostess,
who engaged him in merry talk Of
the cay world at Vienna, with which
they were both familiar. At length
when the feast was nearly ended the
chief took out his watch and said:
Countess, the happiest moments
OF my life have always been the
shortest. I have another engage
ment this night. Bad as I am, none
ever appealed to my homer in vain.
You have received me as a gentle
man, and I shall take my departure
as one. AS for you, my men" !" he
said, looking sternly round with
hand on his pistol, 81 charge you to
take nothing from this house. He
who disobays me dies that instant" !"
The chief then asked for pen and
paper and wrote some words upon a
sheet, which he handed to his host
ess. This, madame, will serve to
protect you in future. You. have
but to show it, and it will save you
from my molestation or loss.n
The name Of the robber chief was
afterward known. He was an im-
poyerished cadet of one Of the no.
blest families in Hungary. His fate
was sad enough. He was captured
a few months after the incident
which has been related here and
ended his life at the hands Of the
common hangIlan. & 81 :. 3

ELECTRIC RAIL WAYDEVEL OPMEN7

ELECTRIC RAIL WA YDEVELO PMENT.
\ recent article, which appeared i'll
McClure's Magazine, gives some idea
of the wonderful development Of the
electric railway in the past dozen
years. Few of us seem to realize that
the steam railroads have actually
suffered severe competition for the
control of the local passenger traffic.
In seven years, the average annual
loss in the number of passengers
carried on the former has been twelve
millions. That there has been a
great increase in travel is Obvious
and the loss therefore must be at
tributed to electric lines. This gain,
of course, has been made in short
haul passengers. The impressive
features of the recent electric railway
Developments have been the con-
struction of long or interurban lines
and the use of cars no less comfort
able than are those Of the steam rail
roads. The trolley line has many
recommendations and some disad-
vantages. The latter are principally
the lower speed rate and the use of
lighter cars with the consequent dis
comfort in long rides. From many
centres of population there are now
electric lines on which steam railway
speed is practically maintained Will
the rate for carrying passengers is
much lower. After a thorough re-
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1903-03-13

view OF the situation the writer holds
out the hope Of greatly reduced fares
OIL the steam railroads, lower freights
and more comfortable travelling on
electric lines.
Many of the new lines are as we'll
ballasted as the standard railways
and the same advanced system OF
controlling the train service is MAIN
tanned with the exception that the
dispatcher uses the telephone instead
Of the telegraph. In some places,
the cars make the average speed OF
fifty miles per hour and a speed of
seventy-fve per hour is an assured
fact in the near future. In Massa-
chusetts last year, four times as many
passengers were carried by trolley
cars as by the steam roads. This in
cludes city traffic, but as this was
we'll developed seven years ago, the
trolley passenger business has
doubled in that time, while that OF
the steam roads has decreased, it is
apparent that the trolley lines have
gained suburban traffic at the eX-
pense the steam lines. Everywhere
the rate of fare on the electric lines is
from one-half to one-ffth that of the
steam roads.
After reviewing the advantages of
the electric over the steam railroads
for all business, the writer concludes
that the former will crush the steam
railroads. However, he intimates
that the long and bitter opposition
may soon cease and that the steam
roads may soon turn to using cleo
tricity. This is a sensible idea and
it stands to reason that the CONVEX
sion of a road which uses steam as a
motive power to that of electricity
would be but the work of very
short while. In fact they would have
the distinct advantage Orwell belfast
ed tracks and all that would beneces-
sary to supply would be the motors
| and the current
In any event, the public is bound
to become the gamer and the rates
both for freight and passengers
would be much lower. The COM
fort of travelling will also be in
creased as there would be no trouble
some smoke or cinders. Aseach year
passes by the people see more and
more the wonderful things that can
be accomplished by the intelligent
use Of electricity.

SENATOR GoRMAN SWORN IN.

SENATOR GORMAN SWORN IN.
On Thursday of last week Arthur
P. German was sworn i'll as United
States Senator from Maryland. He
was accompanied to the clerk S desk
by his colleague, Senator McComas.
Many of the papers heralGed thefact
of Mr.. Germans rc-entry into public
life, but there never has been Il time
since his retirement, four years ago,
when his party has not at frequent
intervals consulted him on many I'M
portant State matters. He has been
made chairman OF the Democratic
steering committee which is COM
posed of nine United States Senators.
His temperance i'll the United
States Senate is 4 cause for congratrt-
lation to the people of this country.
Both Democrats and Republicans
have realized the wisdom offollowing
his advice and on several occasions
his able management has saved this
country from disaster. 1t is crafty
ing to see the change of sentiment
respecting this eminent statesman,
which has taken place in the last
four years. 1t was sad fact that
at one time he was not properly ap-
preciated by some Of his own peo-
pie. Owing to petty internal politi-
cal dissensions, he was frequently
ranked with the ordinary po.it:cian,
with no higher ambition than the
control of patronage. 1t is truethat
Mr.. German has remembered his
friends and whenever the opportunity
offered, did not hesitate to secure
them appointments, but those who
thought that his political strength
lay in the well organized machine"
it was said he had created for his
own selfish ambition, found a mis-
take, when under a stress Of condi-
tions which were almost unsur-
mountable, he was reelected to his
old position without so much as con-
trolling a single appointment.
In the coming national campaign,
Mr.. German will figure in a promi-
nent position. Whether or not he
will be the nominee of his party for
President no one can foretell. Ger
tainly his wisdom and Judgment will
have weight and as he belongs to
the conservative class his advice will
doubtless besought. The Republican
party has about run its race and
with proper management there can
be no question about the election of
a Democratic President in 1904,
should the party keep a cool head
and not be carried off with any pass
ing fancies. The principles ofThomas
Jefferson, which have been Frequently
twisted and turned about to suit
local situations, will in their original
simplicity always prevail, and so
long as the Democratic party steers
close to his teachings it will stand
an excellent opportunity for winning.
Several times we have left our tradi-
tions and fell down to worship
strange gods. In each case a sting
ing defeat was Our rebuke and as
time passes by we are forced once
more to return to our old moorlngs.
Sweet is defeat" when it teaches a
wholesome lesson, so let our cxper-
fences of the past be turned to
profitable account as a guidance i'll
the future.
