CAR AND LOCOMOTIVE BUILDING.
Over 10000 Cars Built in 1903-Over
5000 Engines.

The Railroad Gazette gives the fol
lowing statistics of car and locomotive
building during the last year:
Official returns from practically all
the car building plants in the country
show that 154, 808 cars have been built
during the year 1903. OF this total
figure approximately 152,S01 are
freight cars and 2007 passenger
coaches; 3,195 for domestic and 1913
for export. Last year the total mum.
Der of cars built was 164.547.
During the year 5152 locomotives
were built at the various works in
the country as against 1910 last year.
The number includes 80 electric loco
motives. The increase over 1902 is
the largest of any one year, and posi-.
bly, is due to the fact that the loco
motive works of the country had such
a volume Of orders placed during 1902
that they were unable to make imme-
date deliveries, and many Of the or
ders were held over till 1903. At an
average cost of the locomotives of
$4,000, the total amount spent by
the railroads for motive power would
be approximately $62,000,00O. This
figure does not include the locomo-
tives which were built yearly by the
railroad companies at their own shops.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Five hundred
children, youthful sons and daughters

representatives, army and navy Off
GERS members of the diplomatic corps,
assistant secretaries of departments

reception began at o'clock, Mrs.
Roosevelt being assisted by ladies of
the cabinet circle and Mrs. Loeb, Mrs.
Cowles and Miss Hagner.
The White House had been decor
ated beautifully for this Christmas
party. Great palms and Christmas
green adorned the reception hall and
parlors, the green being enlivened
here and there with splashes of the
flaming red Of poinsetta blossoms and
American Beauty roses. The scene
was rendered brilliant by hundreds
of electric lights.
The children were formed in line
on the. terrace. Thence they marched
up the main staircase and across the
reception hall to the entrance of the
green room, where they were received
by their hostess quite as if they were
grownups. Each child was introduced
to Mrs. Roosevelt by Major Charles
McCawley Of the marine corps, and
by her was given a cordial greeting.
Each was then presented with a pro-
gram and souvenir of the party in
the form Of a badge of silver bearing
Mrs. Roosevelt's compliments and good
wishes of the season. The little guests
were conducted through the green
room to the east room by officers of
the army, navy and marine corps in
full uniform, and there seated.

ident Roosevelt entered the room, TAX
ing an inconspicuous seat near the
green room entrance. He entered thor.
oughly into the spirit of the occasion,
and enjoyed every minute of the enter

ever, was wholly that of Mrs. Roose-
welt, and she worked out all of the
details. Scores Of the children were
afforded an opportunity to greet the
president and to wish him a Happy
New Year."
After the refreshments had been
served the young people returned to
the east room. There the older among
them danced to the music of the
Marine band, while the younger ones
played games in the parlor.
The attention shown the children by
Mrs. Roosevelt and her assistants and
by the numerous attendants were so
delicate and graceful that the Joy of
not a single one was married, and all
left the White House praising their
and considerate hostess.
