GENERAL ELECTRIC ENGINEERS SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF AL
 TERNATiNG CURRENTS.
Completed After Fourteen Years of study-Wiii RevoIutionize the Pas senser Traffic-TroIIey Can Be Used With Either Currents.

Schenectady, Aug. 24.-The Gener- al Electric company today demonstrate ed to a party of engineers and press representatives from New York that 1t has devised a practical alternating. current motor. A trolley car equipped with one of the new motors made its first commercial run with the visitors over the line of the Schenectady Rail- road company between Ballston and return. E
 The invention Is the result of four teen years of study and experiment by the engineers of the General Electric company. who predict that it will rev lution ize passenger traffic and eventu- ally put the steam locomotive out of business. The motor car can be used either with an alternating O. direct current
 The visitors were brought from New York oI a special car as the guests of Mr E. H. Mullen. cf the General Flee tric company, and Editor J. K. Le Baron. of the FeurTrack News The test Of the new motor was conducted by Chief Engineer W. B. Potter. of the railway department of the General Electric company. IL was the first in stance. he said. where an alterating- current read had established a regular passenger service anywhere in the world
 Alternating-curre systems, it is known. can be built and operated much more economically than direct current lines. The great saving is in copper wire, the. direct current re- quiring a much larger feed wire than the alternating Another saving is in what are known as" rotary sub-sta- tions." which are required al short in te-vals in direct-current systems to convert the alternating current into direct current.
 IL has been the great cost of equip ing existing steam roads for a direct current electric service that rendered the change imp-acticable in the past. M-. Mullen predicted yesterday that with the perfection of the alternating current motor the New York Central

Women Pensioners
 Get Long End US. Pay

Washington. Aug. 24.-Women draw the biggest slice of pension money from Uncle Sans strong box Twenty four of them might be named who. to- gether. get as much as the total re- oeived by $50 veterans of the S a month class Two. Mrs. Garfield and Mrs McKinley-and well they are en- titled to the allowance from a grate- ful nation-receive S5,0O0 each; one Mrs. Phillip H. Sheridan, has only to sign her name for $2,500 per annum, and three others have a regular in- come from the same source. These three are Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. George B. Mcclellan (mother of the present mayor of New York;, and Mrs. Blaif widow of the famous Gen. Blair.
 Eighteen widows of Generals and Admirais draw s1,200 a year in per. sion money; six get s90>> per annum and 200 surviving relicts of distin- guished army and navy offers receive $500. It will thus be seen that the government pays annually 10 230 wid- ows a total of s165 ,500-an amount as SAtd1 9S NEtthtd OIl ttlC cdLuC length of time to 2.29S veterans at s6 per month. This is not meant to imply that the widows get a cent more than they should have. but merely to call attention to the fact that the old soldiers do not absorb all of the cash that is paid out of the much abused pension appropriation.
 The widows today occupy the most conspicuous place on the pension rolls. The ranks of the veterans are steadily thinning at the rate of 95,. 900 year. but not so with the wid- oWs, wh@ are continually becoming more numerous. Before very long they will exceed the old soldiers numeri- oally on the Civil War List. and it has been reckoned by the Pension Bureau that in 1886 about 1000 widows of men who fought in the Civil War will be alive and pulling a small, but regular income out of the treasury. Many girl babies are still to be born who are destined to widows of the Civil War.
