I'm relation TO the excavating ma

thought. L do not think that any very
important progress has been made as to
the kind of machinery TO be used. In
my mind the only capital advantage
gained is in the substitution of electric
power for steam generation. Most OF the
excavating machinery now at Panama
is kept in good condition and can be
easily transformed in order to substI-

In reference TO the stability Of the
ground through which the excavations
are to be made I have been wrongly
quoted as saying that the tropical heat
on the isthmus added to the stability of
the soil. l wish to say that the great
factors or instability are, first. the ex-

A PROBABLE CAR SHORTAGE.

The movement of the large crops
this season in connection with the
demand for cars to transport mercIian-
disc, will probably result in another
car shortage. The saving clause in
the situation is that while the move.
ment of merchandise calls for many
cars. it is as rule toward the west,
whereas the crop movements is in the
opposite direction.
Notwithstanding the large orders
that have been filled for the railroads
by carworks the companies have not
yet succeeded in securing as great an
equipment as they need. This is due
to the large volume of business which
has been developed. 1t reveals the
oountry's growth in population and
trade and is the best kind of evidence
that prosperity continues.
The crop in the winter wheat belt
west of the Mississippi is very large,
altough it is probable that there will
be some disappointment in the yield
compared with the appearance of crops
while growing 1t is estimated that
in Kansas, however, the average yield
per acre will be somewhat higher than
it was last year The roads running
through the winter wheat belt will
be the first to feel the pressure for cars,
because the winter wheat crop will
be the first sent to market. Denver

KILLED BY GREED.

According to the convention of pos
tai clerks of Colorado, Kansas. Miss
ouri and New Mexico, recently held in
Kansas City, old and rotten mail cars
are responsible for the death of halt
the railway mail olreKs killed each
year
In support of this statement COM
parison was made of two accidents. in
one of which the mail car was crushed
like an eggshell and two clerks killed,
while in the other the new steel mail
car received much rougher usage but
remained whole and the three clerks
in it received only slight injuries
There is nothing more thoroughly
demonstrated in modern railway prac-
tice than the advantage of superior
construction in securing the lives of
railway travellers. The fact that mail
clerks are government employees
should not relieve the companies from
the responsibility of providing them
with all possible safeguards in an oc-
cupation that is dangerous enough
under the most favorable oircum-
stances.
Public opionion will be very strong
iy with the mail clerks in thier
efforts to secure the sending of the old
cars to the scrap pile. and as the at
tention of the travelling public is
called to the matter it will refuse to
believe that the roads that persist in
endangering the lives of mail clerks
are to be trusted to provide adequate
protection for the general passengers.

A FAMOUS SALVATIONIST.
influence of Mrs. fuckers Plead
ingS on a Young Ruffian.

When she was a child the late Mrs.
Emma othTucker, wife of the COM
mander of the Salvation Army in the
United States, was inspired with an
intense hatred Of cruelty.
One day when she was thirteen she
was out for the usual walk with the
governess in her fathers family, Eng
land, when a donkey cart drove past,
and the sensitive girl noticed the boy
belaboring the donkey with stick.
She called out to him to desist, but he
only laughed and hit the harder, says
the Chicago Tribune.
Snatching herself away from the
governess, Emma ran after the cart,
and after a long chase at length over
took it and caught the reins. The boy
leaped down and tried to pull the don
key away, but he had met his match.
Snatching the stick from his hand, she
showered blows upon his head and
shoulders, saying:
''There, now! How do you like it?'
The boy could have overpowered her
easily, but her tears and pleadings
proved more powerful than her blows.
He surrendered Internationally, and,
kneeIing at her request beside the don
key ia the dusty road, he prayed for
giveness for his cruel act AS they
arose the conquered rufian apologized
for having taken her so far out of her
way, and seated beside him Emma
road in triumph back to her home.
Some remarkable stories have been
told from time to time concerning Mrs.
Booth fuckers kindness and generos-
lty and her ceaseless endeavors to re-
Iieve distress wherever she found it.
1t is related that even when a mere
child she seemed to feel deep respon-
sibility for the condition Of other chill
dren less fortunate than herself and
sought to aid them in her youthful
way.
