our ana see III IL were nOG possible
to make three miles minute.
1t was a pace that made the
government mail officials grin, but
it was no pace for sedate burghers
and business men.
At Rio the pace suddenly fell off.
Engineer Sullivan looked at his
watch.
ION time" he said briefly. The
Fast Mail covered the remaining
few miles at handy clip, stopped
for a minute at a crossing and
swung into Portage, SO, l miles
from Milwaukee, on time to a
second.
Ninety three miles in trife
more than 100 minutes actual run
ming time!
Keeling off the miles at a speed
of practically mile a minute, En-
gineer Sullivan passed the yard
limits at Sparta on time, only to
find the signals out against him,
and Train No. 2, which had the
right Of way because it was south
bound train, losing time and late.
The heavy mail train pulled into
clear on siding and twelve min
utes lapsed before the bright, white
headlight of the southbound pas
senger showed around curve.
Twelve minutes lost was a handi-
cap, but it did not mean much after
the other things that had happened.
The big Az locomotive, with driv-
ing wheels seven feet in diameter,
swung out on the main line again,
and after a few strokes. of her
pistons, sent the speed rate climb
ing.
Lightweight miles an hour was
interesting, but not sensational,
after having made 90 miles an hour.
The heavy train pulled into North
La Crosse on time-26 miles in 23z
minutes.
The regular passenger trains of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway make speed records some
times. Their schedules are moder-
ate, yet their engine drivers are in
constant danger of minor delays
and small losses of time, every
minute of which means faster
actual running schedule and more
speed in order to cover the remain
ing mileage on time. To handle a
big train requires several qualities
most men value-absolute self
confidence and self-reliance on the
part of the engine driver, conserva-
tive nerve and daring, resourceful-
ness and lightning quickness of
judglne nj. which must not be near
ly right, but absolutely unerring.
On big locomotive of the Mil
waukee's Pioneer Limited few
nights since, Engineer Sullivan and
Fireman Hultane covered the great
err part Of the run from Lake City
to La Crosse at speed averag ing
for actual running time between
IS and So miles an hour. On an
other night, with Engineer Patrick
Doyle and Fireman John Young
quist, many minor delays and the
handicap of 'slow ORDERS" on one
long section of track, were over
come by added speed, and the Pho
neer Limited, an unusually heavy
train on that night, pulled into La
Crosse on time.
Men like Sullivan, Weaver, Doyle,
Smith-who is no longer a work
ing engineer-Homer Williams
and the ilk come but seldom to
public notice, yet their nerve and
resourcefulness nightly guard the
lives of hundreds, and their COM
plete mastery of their profession
enables men to cover long distances
without loss of time and without
disagreeabie incident-Special Her

THE GREAT DEAD OF THE YEAR.
Few Annual Lists Show More Eminent Names Than the Necrology of 1903.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The retrospect of every year shows mournful list of eminent dead, but the necrology of 1903 in nearly every depart ment of the worlds work is exceptional. All have suffered heavily, music, the arts and literature perhaps, the most.
 The world of politics and statesman ship has lost Senor Sagasta, one of the ablest and most eloquent of the Spanish premiers, whose services to his country virtually ended with the accession of the present king, Alfonso XIII; Abram s. Hewitt and Andrew S. Green, who, in one sense, might be termed the premiers Of New York city; Henry l.. Dawes, the veteran Massachusetts senator. and Lord Salisbury, the British premier successor to Gladstone Royalty has suffered little loss. By the cruel tragedy in Servia, it's king and queen, Alexander and Draga, were killed and with them, the premier, the minister of the interior, and an ex. minister of war, but there have been no other deaths in high royal circles.
 The military world has lost General William Tarr Smith familiarly known as Badly" and Major General Alexander Mcdowell McCook, the last of that gallant family known as the lighting McCooks." The Church of England has lost one Of It's most eminent representatives and scholars, the Rev. r. w. Farrar, dean of Westminster. and the Roman Catholic church its highest representative, Pope Leo XIII, whose death was not only deeply mourned by his own church. but was followed by expressions of respect and sympathy from all other denomlna- tions.
 The arts and literature have greatly
