tire population in years Of fine yield, is
not much greater than the earnings of
the great fleets of steamers flying the
British flag. But the earnings Of the
steamers are only part, and very
small part, of the aggregate wealth
created. Look at Britain's export
trade in manufactures! 1t is wonder
ful; but 1t has been made so simply be-
cause her customers have known that
she could deliver the products. 1t is
not an idle thing to say that the manu-
featured exports of the United States
would increase one-third had this coun-
try the same facility for delivering
them that Great Britain has. What
would 1t mean to, increase our manu-
featured exports thus? 1t would mean
huge dividends in the pockets of every
person in the United States. No one

1t was a good thought to create the
Merchant Marine Commission. 1t has
done much to bring this important sub
ject to the attention of the whole
people. 1t has got them thinking and
talking. One has only to look over the
diverse interests that have appeared
before the commission to realize that.
Men in all walks of life have testified,
and it is not the ship builders and ship
owners by any means that have given
the most invaluable testimony. The
commission is now in the Pacific coast,
where it will be for the next two weeks.
1t will have framed its report by the
time congress convenes. Meanwhile
the mass of data obtained will be put
in readable form for public digestion.

COLORADO SCHOOLS.
Well Supported and Good Wages Paid
TO teachers.

Washington. Nov. 1.-The state OF
Colorado expends more. per capita. for
the maintenance of It's public schools
three, namely, $500 per capita per an
mum.
This fact is brought out by the an.
nual report Of the commissioner OF
education. just made public, which
gives school statistics for the year
19O2-3, the latest that have been CON-
piled. This report shows that during
the year named Colorado expended for
Its public schools the aggregate sum OF
$3.100.S55. OF this amount Sl.SS3, ,163
went for salaries OF teachers, $400, ,62G
was expended for sizes and new build
inGs and the balance was miscelane
ously expended
Out Of an estimated population OF
$4,000. Colorado had 131.200 pupils en-
rolled in her public schools. and re-
ported an average daily attendance of
1896. The corps of teachers mum
bered 4.019.
Colorado pays better salaries for
school teachers than almost any other
state in the West. the average monthly
salary of male teachers being $G9.G3
and of females s53O4. These figures
are way above the general average for
the United States.
The report shows the value of pub
lie school property in Colorado to bo
T,S6S. lis. In support of It's public
schools Colorado raises S941 ,230 from
state taxes. 81, ,533, 296 from local taxes.
and $619,030 from other sources.

Governor Eatcn's Funeral.

Denver. Nov. IA Greeley dispatch
last night says: The funeral of ex-
Governor benjamin Harrison Eaton
was held from the family residence,
S12 Twelfth street, at 9 O'Clock this
afternoon. Flags were displayed at
half mast throughout the day and all
banks, public offices and many stores
closed from 2 to 2:30 this afternoon.
The town of Eaton was draped in
mourning and all business was sus-
pended there throughout the day in
honor of the man who founded the
town.
The funeral was the largest ever
held in Greeley. Fully 500 people as
sembled in the house and the process
sion to the cemetery was two miles
long. DR.. B. T. Vincent of the Meth
odist Church of Golden conducted the
services. assisted by Rev. F. M. Shell
don Of the Congregational Church and
Rev. Davis of the Methodist Church OF
Greeley. DIR. Vincent paid a high trib-

ELECTRIC MOTOR
MAY sUpPLANT STEAM ENGINE

Painting, Putting, screechine Steam Lc.
comotive Is Doomed.-Eiectric Mo-
tor Is Not Only Cleaner and Less
Noisy, But Actually Cheaper.
Although it has been one OF the
greatest factors in the development OF
this country, the steam locomotive is
doomed. That painting. pulling
screeching monster. belching clouds of
smoke and showering cinders, must
give way to the electric motor, with
out noise or dirt. for the transportation
of both freight and passenger trains.
Years ago 1t was demonstrated that
for passenger traffic on short lines In
densely populated districts. electricity
was in every way superior to steam as
motive power.
While reluctantly admitting that
fact. managers OF steam railways de-
clared that for long distance passen-
ger trains and freight trains. electric
power would be inadequate, excessive
In cost, and therefore impractlcable.
1t was claimed that until electricity
could be generated without the use of
steam 1t would be more economical
and efficient to use steam direct in en-
gines.
Actual tests made recently have
demonstrated that the cost of trans
portation is greater by the steam en-
gine than by the electric engine. A
steam train Of five cars and standard
engine weighs $40 tons, and will ac
commodate 16s passengers. It uses at
full speed ], 400 horse power. The elec-
tric motor and four trailer cars weigh
2s0 tons, seat 1s0 passengers and use
! 1000 horse power. The electric train
weighs less, uses less horse power. car
ries more passengers and goea faster.
1 Some half dozen railways in this
country have followed the lead Of the
! New York Central and arranged to
use electric power on portions OF their
lines now being operated at loss with
steam power Practical tests made on
the LAckawanna and Wyoming Valley
roads, owned by the Westinghouse
company, show an economy of thirty
per cent. as compared with the steam
system.
Steam railway managers everywhere
are exceedingly interested in results
being secured on the Ballston exten-
sion of the Schenectady railway,
where cars are run with alternating
current equipment just perfected. Tho
motors used can be run either from a
1000 volt alternating current stepped
down in the car to 400 volts, or from
6O0-volt direct current. The electric
railway motors in general use are op-
Grated. as is well known, by direct
current with trolley voltage Of about
600 volts.
1t is claimed that the new motor,
which can use direct or alternating
currents of widely varying voltage has
cleared the way for the adoption OF
electric power for light or heavy trains
freight or passenger. on lines of any
length.

Change,

Change.
Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. lis Coates
street, Moberly, Mo-. is today picture OF
robust health, and yet five years ago, she
barely escaped death from progressive
emaciation. To a reporter she told the
following story:
In 1896 began to have distressing
attacks of indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. 1t
became finally 80 delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. My inability
to take food reduced my weight oninety-
eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
kept me in bed most of the time. was
really starving to death and besides was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me no good, and prescribed exercise
which I was too weak to attempt.
"One day when I was so faint and
chilled that could do nothing but crouch
down on the floor by the fire, my father
brought me box of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. 1 found on trial
that they would stay on my stomach un-
like everything else. really felt better
after three doses and 1 kept OH using
them. Food began to taste welland to
stay down. The pain and the burning
in the pit of my stomach lessened and ut
Inst went AWAY altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
165 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that was wasting to
death before, were astonished at the
change. resumed my houscwork and
have hardly had occasion to call n doctor
since. I have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to several friends, and
I say to the pale, thin ones particularly,
If you want to get strong and well take
DR.. Williams'P Pink Pills for Pale People"
These pills cure stomach trouble by
their tonic action, building up tho di-
gestive organs and enabling them to do
the work that nature intended them to
do. They are sold by all dealers, or will
be sent postpaid OIL receipt of price, fifty
cents box or six boxes for two dollars

ELECTRIC LINES.
Rapidly coming Into use near large
Eastern Cities.


Electricity is proving to be of i'm
mense benefit to suburban dwellers and
caiFoads are electrifying their lines for
this travel. l am not surprised that
the Colorado & Southern proposes to
electrify part of It's system" said Geo.
3. Beard, an electrician of New York.
at the Brown Palace hotel yesterday,
says the Denver Republican.
THE Erie will electrify Its lines in
New Jersey for about sixty miles OF
track. and 1t will connect with the new
tunnel under the Hudson river between
Jersey City and Manhattan. This means
that the Erie will be enabled to handle
double the number of passengers It
now does and also that these thousands
Of people daily can be handled much
easier and more rapidly than by steam.
Several other important eastern roads
are to electrify their lines out OF the
big cities, and l believe that IN few
years there will be no steam used for
suburban travel.
Indianapolis and Cleveland have
demonstrated what can be done by cleo
tric lines, and the constant improve
.ments being made insures the future
Of electric lines for passenger travel.
do not think that electricity will ever
play a very important part in freight
traffic. In handling freight large
number of loaded cars makes the profit.
and therefore steam Is necessary, and
doubt IL electricity ever cuts much fig
ure on long distances, such as line
from Denver to the Missouri river or
the Missouri river to Chicago. for the
reason that two or three trains are op-
Grated, and these carry many passen-
gers, whereas many cars are out Of the
question for electricity.
However. there is an electric line
from Indianapolis to Chicago, and 1t is
possible that these electric trains for
long distances will become paying. But
for short distances, for suburban travel
where there are crowds to handle, and
handle rapidly. the trolley is far ahead
of the steam trains"

ARROWS FLIGHT
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL A,RsHlP.
Scars and Maneuvers Over Heads OF
Thousands Of Cheering Spectators
at the Worlds Fair Grounds.


st. Louis. Nov. AFTER circling in
every direction at a height Of 1000
feet above the Cascades, in sight of
thousands of cheering spectators on
the Worlds Fair grounds, A. Roy Kna-
benshue of Toledo, in command of the
airship California Arrow, yesterday re-
turned to the place from which he had
started over the same course he had
come, covering the three miles and a
half of the roundtrip under his own
power and demonstrating the claims
of the inventor, Capt. Thomas s. Bald
win of San Francisco that the Cali.
fornia Arrow Is not only dirigible, but
that 1t can make headway against .
moderate breeze.
Knabenshue started from the areo
nautic concoruse at 3:37 p. m. and re-
turned after his remarkable flight at
4:O5 p. m. On the rtturn trip the air
ship sailed slowly over the exact spot
from which it had risen twenty-eight
minutes previously and glided about
100 feet further west, where it settled
gracefully to the ground.
The descent of the Arrow was the
signal for demonstration the equal
of which has not been seen since the
wheels of the Worlds Fair started last
April, In response to the pressure OF a
key by President Roosevelt.
Dozens of eager hands were out
stretched to grasp the frame OF the
airship and the flying machine. with
Its daring navigator was carried
around the concourse upon the should
ers of shouting men. Hats were
thrown into the air, and when Kna-
benshue called for three cheers for his
home town they were given with a will
and another round followed for kna-
benshue and Baldwin
Capt. Baldwin was extremely opti.
mistic regarding the future of his air
ship. He said:
Now l will not be contented until |
have had trial for that $25,000 prize.

quired distance within the time limit" :"

Tercio Mine Disaster.

Eonver. Nov. IA Trinidad dispatch
last night says: While no bodies were
recovered at Tercio to-day, twenty-one
coffins were sent to the mine to be
ready when the bodies are reached.
The Rocky Mountain Coal C Iron
Company claims that nineteen men
are dead, while Coroner Sipe says that
forty-nine or more perished. Coroner
Sipe bases his estimate of forty-nine
dead on the results Of poll OF Tercio

unaccounted for.
The cause Of the explosion will not
be definitely known until the mine is
