SOUTHERN PROGRESS
DEVELOPMENT OF INTERURBAN
 ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Some Figures on the Output of Cotton and Its Consumption by the
 Textile Mills of the World.
I:3 Commerce St.

Baltimore. April A.-(Special.) .)-Signih- cant Of develoDments in the South and of changing conditions there is the fact that more than 1000 miles of interurban cleo tric railways have been recently pro- 5ected and some are already in an ad- vanced stage of construction.
 One of the most notable of these roads, says The Manufacturers Record this week. in summary of such undertak- ings, is that which is to connect Balti- more and Annapolis with Washington. This will have total trackage of fifty or sixty miles. The main line Is new or nearly all new construction, though the branch to Annapolis will be a present steam railroad to be converted to electric operation. Another road for which sur veys have been made is to connect Bal timore and Bel Air, Md, a distance of about twenty-two miles, and this is ex- pected to become link in the long talked or trolley line between Baltimore and Philadelphia. An inteurban railway is to be constructed between Anderson and Greenville, s. C., connecting in a route of about thirty miles Belton. Williamson, extension to Paris Mountain, five miles from Greenyille. The extension of the Augusta and Aiken Electric Railway for fifty miles from Aiken to Columbia Is now under survey.
 The Tennessee Interurban Electric RaIl- way Company, a consolidation of two other companies. proposes to build line eixty-five or seventy miles long running InIOuBH NdSHNlIe anu COILeCllUB SOluIll- bia and Gallatin. This road is to be equipped with both passenger and freight cars and with electric locomotives.
 The Ohio Valley Traction Company has been formed in Kentucky to build line from Cincinnati to Louisville; in Louis lana the New Orleans and Southwestern Railroad is to run from Hahnville to Montague, about seventy-seven miles; in Texas the Beaumont, Port Neches and Port Arthur Electric Railway is under construction for a distance of twenty five miles: close to it is the Beaumont and Sour Lake Electric Railway, nineteen miles long, for which contract has been awarded, while the Missouri Electric Railway Company proposes to build a line about 150 miles long, ultimately con- meeting St. Louis and Kansas City. Around Atlanta, Ga, several electric rail- ways have been projected, three of them to build between Atlanta and Marietta and another to build about forty miles of line connecting Atlanta, Roswell Al pharetta and Cumming.
 These are some of The more important railway projects of the South. There are

Wynne came into office as First As Fistant Postmaster General he saw that much of his prerogative had been shorn by the Rural Free Delivery King. He was surprised to find that notwithstand- ing the regulation of the Department as- signed supervision of free delivery affairs to the First Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral. that he, MT Wynne, in that respect was nothing doing"
 Wynne Wanted Work.
 Naturally Department head does not relish being a mere fgurehead. MT. Wynne looked closer and closer at the phenomenon of his own abnormally at tenuated "otium cum dignitate" and dis covered that MT. Machen was at once one of the most envied and powerful men in the government. He loomed an uneuual- led object of congressional attention. Rep resentatives from all around seemed to go to Machen and come away smiling Indeed, there seemed to flourish between Machen and the congressman an entente cordiale of remarkable sweetness. Con- gr essmen went to Machen and came away happy in the idea that this clever fellow had enabled them to make a showing of industry to their constituents. Thus it
 
 ercise few functions on his own account When Beavers went out 1t was gossipped that Machen would go the same way but not he. The Rural Free Delivery Chief stood his ground wearing the front of courage, truth and gullenessness. Really there has been no serious charge against him that anybody knows; his offending appears mainly to consist of supers ervice- able exercise of authority. Whether his assumptions will cause his downfall off, cially remains to be seen. It is likely anyhow that nothing will happen in his case until the President returns to Wash ington.
 The Tyner sensation Is. fresh in the minds of readers of The Advertiser:
 Treasures for Thrips.
 Another indus of rottenness Is freely said to have been stirred up in the dead letter office. At stated periods dead let ters are auctioned. It Is said that certain clerks who have the handling of the let ters of the office got to be experts in de- tecting letters with valuable contents and they formed a clique with outside con- federates with whom they were often en- abled to buy treasures for thrips, as 1t were.
 Postmaster General Payne admits that new charges involving the manner of pur- chasing supplies for the Department have been filed. but says today that these mat ters are in the hands of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow. MT. Payne is very much worried that every time he has a visit from a statesman some fool newspaper man starts a story that some body is trying to suppress information.

"she Painted, of Course"

A Montgomery publication of Tuesday, April 26 1870 printed the following anus ing story of a belle of Paris:
 At one of the recent concerts at the Tuilleries one of the most beautiful wo- men of Paris attracted much attention by the Empress conversing with her for sometime. and on her returning to her seat all eyes were turned upon her. The lady. accustomed to this homage thought 1t was. as usual, paid to her charms. But suddenly she discovered that one of her beautiful eyebrows, made of felt, had dropped in her lap, and that this 1t was that attracted so much attention. She tainted, of course: and no doubt will take better care in future of her flxings."

BIG GAME OF THE YEAR
TOMORROW AFTERNOON
Yale and Harvard Will Meet at Cambridge for
the Twenty.seyenth Annual Football
Contest

BOSTON, Mass. Nov. 2O.-Tomor
row is one of the important days of
the football year. For the twenty-sey
enth time Yale and Harvard will meet
upon the gridiron, The game will be
played upon the athletic field at Cam
bridge and from present indications the
attendance will surpass the $4,000
mark.
On paper, Yale has decidedly the
best of it. The Harvard team, how
ever, appears confident of victory and
this confidence is shared by a host of
astute followers of the game. From
the little that can be heard from New
Haven 1t seems that Yale will almost
risk the game on the success or failure
of set of complicated startegic plays
that has been arranged. If the Har-
ward men can solve the formations be-
fore 1t is too late, they may make up
for their deficiencies in FORM for when
1t comes to straight football it is gen.
orally conceded that the Cambridge
eleven knows fully as much if not
more than Yale.

Use to be one of the most hotly con-
tested games of the season. More in
terest is attached to the game to he
played tomorrow at Athletic park, ow-
ing to the fact that the Colfax boys
are coming here, singing with the de-
feat of the recent game played at Col
fax with our high school boys. 1t is
known that they have been practicing
daily at COlfax, and claim that they
rub. The high school boys here have
been not a bit less active in their
practice for the coming game and rea-
lizing that it will be hard fought
battle, are using every spare moment
to strengthen their lines.
The ColfaX team have not sent their
lineup over as yet. which is evidence
that they are waiting until the last
moment, so that their men may be
placed in the most advantageous posi-
tons.
The Lewiston lineup will be taken
from among the following players:
Vernon, Edmiston, Anderson, Neil
Pierstorff, McMinnimy, Kerns, Lund-
strom, Chapman, Small, Bursell, B.

to the game is placed at twenty five

MOSCOW, Nov. 20.-When the foot
ball game between Idaho and Montana
was over Wednesday afternoon Idaho
had scored 2S points to Montana's O..
In the first half Idaho made %, four
touchdowns and three goals. One
touchdown was made the second half.
In the second half Idaho substituted
three second team men in order to give
them practice. This accounts for the
low score made in that half. The game
was not very interesting as 1t was too
one sided. Montana was entirely out
of her class although she was heavier
than Idaho. Montana was able to
make her yardage once and only once,
that occurred in the second half. She
came near scoring on a f1uke once.
Idaho fumbled the ball and Harmer
the right end got it. He ran forty
yards before being pulled down by Rog-
ers. That was the only time she ever
caught sight of the goal.
Montana kicked off and the first play
Idaho fumbled losing the ball. Mon
tana also fumbled and Idaho obtained
it, She sent backs, ends and tackles
through and around the line. Then
sent Charles Smith over in ten minutes.
Goal was kicked. Idaho kicked off and

iumbia, who promised to do so much
early In the fall, have been placed on
back seat, and Princeton, which was
considered to have only a fairly good
middleweight team, surprised Yale and
now stands a good chance of winning
the championship. Princeton has sur
prised the football world several times
before. The Tigers have way of turn
ing out players who do things in
game they could not do in practice.
One famous instance is the drop-kick
made in 1899 by Arthur Poe, who had
never kicked drop before. There were
eleven seconds to play with the score

HOW THEY PLAYED
THE MOSCOW GAME
An Interesting Review of the Big Football Con-
test of Last Wednesday Between
Moscow and Montana

Montana fumbled the catch. Idaho
sent Captain Smith over the line In
three and one-half more minutes. Idaho
kicked off again. Montana tried a fake
using the forward pass but was caught
in the act Idaho took the ball and by
using fakes and straight runs and
bucks put Tilley over the line in four
and one-half minutes. Goal was kicked.
Idaho kicked off and Montana tried the
delayed pass and lost the ball. Idaho
tore down the field two to ten yards at
a clip and Smith had another touch
down in six and one-half minutes.
Montana kicked off and Idaho was
going down the field when time was
called.
In the second half Idaho substituted
Fogle for Larson, r. c.; Lawrence for
Middleton, @. B., and Kerns for Thomas
L. G. Fumbling was rank in this half.
The ball changed hands several times
but Idaho finally set Smith over in
sixteen and one-half minutes. Rogers
failed to kick goal. From now on
neither goal was In danger as the
fumbling was so fast that the team
did not move far. The game ended
with the ball in Montana's possession
in the center of the field. Final score:
2S to 0.

10 to against Princeton, when Poe
made the famous drop and won the
game by II to 10. A place-kick, an
other noted Princeton play won the
game on Saturday. Yale had expected
a hard game, but every Princeton
player must have played the game of
his life TO win.

that game has lost it's zest now, though
the $4,000 seats that surround Soldiers
