Boston Globe.
one of the most novel railroads I'm all
Maine is the wireless electric road" on the
Portland road constructed and operated by
Leon knight. aged fourteen. and Lee Burn
ham, aged twelve, both students In the
public schools OF Saco.
This road is 100 feet in length. and the
rails as well as the ties are made of wood.
The line is situated on a hill. and in the
suburbs near the homes of the young rail-
road magnates. both of whom labored long
and diligently TO get the road In operation.
The youngsters furnish the power 10 run
the cars up the incline at present. but are
trying to devise some method TO pull them
up the grade. Once at the top OF the hill
young Knight jumps into the cab and Burn
ham mans the brake on the car and down
the incline hey go at a fast clip.
Just before the end of the line Is reached
the cars are brought TO a standstil by the
brakeman. The road is in full view OF the
Saco division OF the Portland street raii-
way, and passengers who have seen the
train sliding down the hill wondered who
built the line and equipment. Many people
from Saco and Biddeford. who have heard
about the wireless trolley line. have visited
the place and seen the boys as they made
frequent trips over the road.
There Is no regular schedule that the
cars are run on. The boys push the cars
up the hill till they get tired. then the road
is closed down until the next day.
Oftentimes passengers are carried In the
open car. There Is considerable talk OF
extending the line another spring. With
the exception OF the wheels the boys built
everything on the road. That they dis
PLAYED wonderful ingenuity Is acknowl-
edged by all who have seen the equipment.
All summer the diminutive railroad men,
who, by the way, visit the car barn OF the
Biddeford and Saco electric railway fire.
Quently TO get new ideas, have been at
work persecting cars and roadbed. Even
the handles or the brakes the boys turned
out by hand. and they did a remarkably
good job.
Young knight. who is a student at
Thornton Academy. is studying electrical
engineering with a western correspondence
school. He has shown great adaptibility
for that work for one so young and cleo
trio road employees predict for hira a bright
future.
Young Burnham is a student at the
Locke Grammar School. His forte seems
TO be building. and he has done much Of
the work of constructing the line.

Once n Republican, He Is Not at ~

gton Letter in Chicago Post.

Washington Letter in Chicago Post.
There is something positively pathetic
about the manner Of Henry NJ. Teller, OF
Colorado, when he makes a speech In the
Senate upon a subject on which party lines
are drawn sharply.
1t is seven years since Teller, with tears
in his eyes, walked out OF the Republican
camp at St. Louis. senator Teller has harl
work TO this day to remember that he Is
no longer a Republican. He stands among
his Democratic colleagues on the fioorf OF
the upper house of Congress. and whatever
his words may be, his voice has in Ii some-
thing of longing and more than occasionally
a ring of apology.
To-day Senator CuIlom, of Illinois, chairs'

relations, will report to his colleagues that
the committee favors the House bill on
Cuban reciprocity, and favors il in the man.

chamber. The bill went TO Senator Cui-
lom's committee, instead of to the finance

more than forty minutes. In that speech
at least q dozen times he referred TO the
fact that he was not always thus" Once

for an hour and conviction grows that this
man, who hasn't a hypocritical hair in his
head, simply has cajoled himself into the
belief that he is a Democrat. A searching
of his heart would disclose a secret whose
presence in the inner hambe he himself
does not suspect.

imposed on every bill of lading issued by

what were only copies Of bills of lading
and not duplicates. The Revenue Depart
ment ruled, however. that they were dupli-
Gates. The railroads all settled and paid
up, but did so under protest. The Lake

COLON, Nov. 29.-The next event of polit-
zeal Importance to the new republic of
Panama will be the ratification of the canal
treaty and its return to Washington. which
is looked forward TO with much interest as
conclusively settling Panama's status. The
ratification of the treaty appears to be con-
sidered by the government as the final step.
so far as Panama is concerned, absolutely
binding the new republic to the protection
of the United States. After this has been
effected it is thought on the isthmus there
will remain nothing for Panama to do ex-
cept to proceed under the security of the
protection of the friendship of the United
States with the development of her inter-
national affairs. The possibility Of a war
with, or armed trouble from Colombia, is
not taken into serious consideration any
where on the isthmus and never is heard
discussed officially or otherwise.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 29.-Within a
few weeks the Lafayette ~Strawboard Com
pany's immense plant here will begin oper-
atoms, giving employment to 125 men at
the outset. The plant is not surpassed in
equipment or capacity by any single straw
board mill in the United States. Some Of
the boilers will be started this week. and
il will not be long before the machinery is
set in motion. Thirty tons of finished
strawboard will be turned out every day
of the year. The men who have built the
factory have expended a large sum of
money to make It the most complete in the
country. Much more capital was put into
the building than was originally intended.
The company issued 100 bonds of $1,000
each and secured the issue by a mortgage
on the plant. The bonds can be used from
time to time with financial institutions and
can be withdrawn at the pleasure of the
boxboard company, which gives TO the COM
pany an Independence which is very de-
sirable. Thomas Bauer, president and gen.
eral superintendent, has had general charge
of the construction. The plant consists
of seven large buildings and thousands of
tons of straw have been collected with
which TO begin operations.
