VaIue of Freight Line That Carries
 the Transcontinenta1 Mail.

VaIue of Freight Line That Carries
 the TranscOntinenta1 Mall.
 It is claimed that the underground railroad of the city of Chicago will in a great measure relieve the congested condition of the streets of that city, not so much by the diversion of traffic below the surface as by the removal of the great number of teams hereto fore required to handle the freight traffic of the great western metropolis, says the Scientific American.
 The first instance of this kind was recently accomplished in an expert mental manner by the Transportation of the mails by this subsurface line in- stead of by horses, conveying the bags across the city from one depot to am other. The entire transcontinental mail had to be transported in this manner, and much delay resulted incident to the exchange from the trains to the wagons and back again, independent of that which frequently happened to the wagons in the course of their trips through the thrOnged streets of the busy city. Connection had been estab- lished between the stations of the Lake Shore and Milwaukee Central and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, and upon the completion offthe work the mails were transferred di- rectIy to the tunnel cars and after be- ing sealed were sent on their way.
 The operation is largely automatic, and as the way is clear no time is lost in transit. The company undertaking the contract agrees to cut the present time of handling the mail between the points named in half, but at the same time the officials are confident of their ability to do very much better than this. If the scheme proves sue cessful other connections will be made and the mail to and from the main postof1ce handled in this manner.
 This innovation besides cutting down the time of mail transportation will be the means of saving much money now spent by the government in the main tenance of wagons and horses. It will also place at the disposal of the Chi cago postmaster. considerable room about the postodice structure which is now given up to the purposes of wag- on stand This is an item of some inn portance in this case, as there is scarcity of room, and the space thus gained can be put to good use.

 vuoa ana NunTana. Every one of. them went strongly Republican, to be sure, yet it does appear that the Demo cratic candidate was a trifie more sue cessful in keeping up the party strength to the standard of 1900 than he was in the country at large. To use the comparison suggested above, the Republican plurality for the whole country was made up of 28 per cent Republican gainss and 72 per cent Democratic losses. Tn the fourteen se- lected states the plurality was ob- tained by 31 per cent Republican gains, 69 per cent Democratic losses. The group of states to which Parker's can- didacy was expected to make the strongest appeal, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, appear in the list of states in which Roosevelt's gains over Mckinley were greater numerical ly than Parkers losses from the Bryan vote. Tn only three of the states of the solid south did the bitter lanimosi- ties against President Roosevelt result in cutting down his vote while inereas- ing that of Parker.

DAVIS. ON TIE JAPANESE.

NOvelAat Says He 1mtemsely Admiren
 Them and Hates Them as Strongly.
 Richard Harding Davis, the war cor respondent, who recently returned to Philadelphia from Japan, had adven- lures which included five weeks ad- vance into Manchuria, followed by Philadelphia Press Previous to that there had been four months of mark ing time in Tokyo.
 Tn speaking of the Japanese war MT. Davis said:-
 "About the tea houses? They were all very we'll as novelty. But after the first two weeks they became tire some. The gelsha girls in them are no more than eleven or twelve years old. They can't talk English, and we could not talk Japanese. Imagine lot of newspaper men being able to get entertainment outTof such pIaces! We would have been much happier even in Sioux City.
 'sWe sailed to within six miles of Port Arthur. Then we were told to look"
 When asked about his war adven- lures Mir. Davis replied: "The less said the better. The six months spent in the east regard as six months of my life wasted. was a failure. There Is not any use in denying that. But there will be plenty of other chances to redeem myself.
 ''The American people seemed to have been hypnotized by the Japanese. All can say is that intensely ad- mire them and intensely dislike them. If said anything more you wouldn't believe me.
 we came up somewhere near the main army, and that was the nearest we ever arrived at the front. We re- mained four miles back of the fighting for four days. Then we, became dis gusted.
 1T wrote a story about 1t and then locked it up. Some time when feel less bitter I'll bring it out, rewrite it and treat it as joke. Some war cor respondents may like to sit on hill four miles away and watch smoke rings and write stories about the bat qIes! GI dOfist.''as 7 oo sl@ee ,4t43 ss-

A Univers1ty Funa.

President Hadley of Yale university recently established a fund of $1,OOO, being the money received by him for giving the Dodge lectures at Yale last year, less certain expenses. This fund is to be held by the treasurer of Yale under the condition that it may be drawn upon for university uses at the discretion of the president. says the New York Tribune.

Poker with a stammerlng Ma,

"Did you ever play poker with stammering man?" asked citizen whose eyes and shaking hands gave signs of a threatened attack of nervous prostration. ''No? We'll, I did last night, but I'll never do so any more. Just imagine, if you can, mans feel ings when he has put big, fat bluff and sees that stuttering friend on the other side of the table pick up his cards and hear him say, 'W-W-w-elI, g-g-g-uess I'll guess I'll p-p-pass,s I tell you, the strain on mans nerves while he. is waiting for the verdict is awful .''- Indianapolis Journal.
