With the approaching return of spring
we have pleasure in welcoming George

Last week number of Empire people
were over at Trier to attend the post
poned auction sale of John Burgel. We
have not heard anything definite as to
the prices at which the stock and machi-
merry sold, as no one from this neigbbor-
hood appears to have Bought anything.
Some of the young mon of Empire are
hard at work on their muscle, which is
likely to serve the double purpose of
fitting them for seeding or the ring in
prize fight. We have light wei tights, all
in good trim and as the sports say, fit as
fiddle to tackle drill or an opponent,
as the case may be.

being the warmest affair that they have

But this is now all thing of the past
and attention is being given entirely to
preparations for the springs work on
the farm. Railroad promoters will find
that Empire farmers now turn deaf
ear to their talk, satisfied that the road
is going to be built, and will run its road
where and how it please, despite of any
thing they might have to say in the
matter.

Although from his antecedents and
early training the bishop might rea-
sonably be expected to favor the so
called '1ow" element, he has carefully
refrained from making any marked dis
tinction. He has maintained digni-
fled Indifference in regard to the
growth of ritualism in the diocese and
is apparently quite as cleverly uncon-
scious of the advanced Biblical inter
probation that prevails in certain quar-
ters. AS an amusing instance of his
ability to sIrmount an ecclesiastical
difficulty which might in less compe-
tent hands have made no end of trou-
BILE may be cited his diplomatic man
agenent of the recent dedication of the
new Monastery of the Holy Cross at
West Park, on the Hudson. 1t was alb

senting the diocesan to be present. 1t
would hardly do for the diocesan or his
coadjutor. the Right Rev. DR.. Greer, to
officiate at such an extremely rituals
tic proceeding. Bishop Potter was
equal to the emergency. 1t was within
the scope of his episcopal authority to
invite the bishop of another diocese to
represent him at the function. He ex-
ercised his privilege and invited the
bishop of Pittsburg, DR.. Whitehead.

upon the Russians who We're descend

heights which had been held shortly
before by their own mon. Almost to a
man the Russians died at their posts

Japanese losses were heavy. one COM

Storm During the Battle.

down into the valley and quickly took

severe thunder storm came. with a

one was unable to tell where the ar

Long Island City, a distance of four
and one-ffth miles. The famous tunnel
under the Hudson, begun in 1874, is
practically completed. 1t is one and
three fourths miles in length. BY July,
1905, it will be fully equipped with
electric trains like those on the under
ground railway. Work has been begun
on the tunnel under the Hudson river
to connect Manhattan Island with the
Jersey City termini of the Pennsylvania
and Erie railway systems. It's metro
politan terminus will be at the subway
station at Dey street and Broadway.
1t will also be equipped with electric
trains and is expected to be running
within three years. Both of these tun-
nels are to have twin tubes. one for
each track. In few months the new
terminal facilities of the New York
Central railroad will be ready for use.
Direct connection with all stations
within a hundred miles of the Grand
Central will be made by electric trains.
AS a beginning the subway manage
ment has ready 500 cars, most of them
steel. They represent the most modern
features of car building, being incom-
bustible and as indestructible as the
mechanical knowledge Of the present
day can make them. In taking the I'M
derground from any of the subterra-
mean stations one will descend from
the street through kiosk by a broad
marble staircase. Passing neat brass
barred ticket Office, a roomy semicir-
cular platform is reached. If the pas
senger is a New Yorker he will be
agreeably surprised at the unusual spa
ciousness of the platform. He will also
note the tasteful manner in which the
station walls are covered with glazed
brick and that they are not disfigured
with advertisements as are the stations
of European underground roads. There
has been much complaint about the bad
ventilation of the "tuppenny tubes" in
London. That serious fault has been
guarded against by system of electric
fans which keep the air pure.

On May rs of the following year he
was ordained. deacon by his father in
st. Luke's church in Philadelphia. A
year later DR.. Bowman. assistant bish-
CD of Pennsylvania, ordained him
priest in Trinity church, Pittsburg.
The young minister's first charge was
Christ church, Greensburg, Pa. In
few months he received a call to st.
Johns church, Troy, N. Y. After he
had been in charge of that parish for
three years he was called to the rec

year later he was elected president of

parish he accepted call to Trinity
church, Boston, that stepping stone to
SO much ecclesiastical preferment. Two
years aftarward he was called to Grace
church, New York where he served
with marked distinction for fifteen
years. In 1877 he was elected bishop
of Iowa, but declined the honor. A

Later the aged bishop resigned.
Bishop Potter's administration of the
affairs of the leading diocese in the
country has been markedly successful.
Under his prudent and businesslike
oversight it has expanded wonderfully.
He has always shown an admirable ca

of ecclesiastical controversy and has
been especially clever in avoiding the
constantly increasing differences be-
tween high and low churchmen.

distance of seven miles, or seventeen
and half miles of single track. This
is the Manhattan division which the
contractor is about to turn over to the
operating company. The great Brook
lyn feeder is being pushed rapidly to-
ward completion. 1t leaves the main
line in Manhattan at the foot of White
hall street, near Battery park, and,
plunging beneath the East river, enters
Brooklyn at the foot of Joralemon
street, running with two and three
track systems to Atlantic avenue, a
distance of two and three-tenths miles.
Figures are inadequate to express the
magnitude of this greatest of subter-
ranean passageways. 1t is only by
comparison that it's unique dimensions
may be appreciated. Compared with it
the famous catacombs of ancient Rome
are rabbit burrows. When the Simplon
tunnel under the Alps uniting Italy and
Switzerland was constructed it was ac-
counted the most wonderful triumph Of
engineering, but if there could be added
to it the ST. Gothard tunnel, the Mont
Gents tunnel and the Lake Fucino tun-
mel, thus uniting the four longest tun
nes on the eastern hemisphere, the
combination would only about equal
the length of the new subway. The
length of the seven other great tunnels
and subways in America are as fol-
lows: Baltimore and Ohio tunnel, seven
miles; Hoosac tunnel, four and three
fourths miles; Boston subway, two and
one-half miles; Cascade tunnel, two
and one-half miles; Boulder tunnel, two
miles; Ivanhoe tunnel two miles; Sar-
MIA tunnel, one mile. The total, it will
be observed, is twenty-one and three
fourths miles, a mile short of the total
length of the Manhattan and Brooklyn
divisions of the subway.
Yet it is only the beginning of the
underground system of transit in New
York. Three other mammoth projects
are being carried forward. One of them
is the tunnel of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, which is to extend from Weehaw-

forward the field guns, and mountain
artillery, therefore, was used.
"A battery was planted upon a ridge
which had been captured earlier in the
morning, and opened fire on the Rus

promptly replied Meanwhile the Jap
anese infantry advanced, in an arch
shaped formation, massing at every

reached the foot of the mountain,
where the angle slope afforded protec-

Japanese Advance Steadily.
"From a Hill opposite / saw a steady

Japanese tore off their coats in order
to move more freely, and thus present.

The Japanese gunners apparently
act range. Soon, however, the squirt
ing smoke and flame showed where the
respective batteries of the two combat
ants worked ruin
There was ceaseless crackle from
the front, and the blue haze above the
rife pits revealed the presence of the
infantry. The day grew warmer and
the white clad soldiers sharply silhou-
cited against the flowers and green
tints of the landscape, became more
numerous and more conspicuous.
Mountain Guns in Operation.
Then two Japanese mountain guns
with great daring advanced on the
right below the Russian front, conceal
ing themselves in the corn. Rapidly
dropping shell and shrapnel right into
the midst of the Russian trenches, they
caused the Russian fire momentarily
to WAIVER. Then it was renewed more
vigorously than ever, but it was the
beginning of the end.
Some Japanese, after creeping a.
round and wrigglihg thru the corn

There was bloody fight.
