In 1892 the average weight of a passen-
ger locomotive, with tender, was about
seventy-five tons. The latest type OF To-
comotive with tender, designed for the
same service weighs more than 142 tons.
Only ten years ago the famous No. 999
OF the New York Central, exhibited at
the Chicago Worlds Fair, was looked
uPon as a marvel in size and speed; yet
it weighed only 103 tons, as against the
100 tons Of the present passenger en-
CINE. In the same year the average
weight of a freight locomotive was eighty
five tons. The latest type Of compound
freight engine weighs 181 II tons and
will haul more than 1900 tons Of freight.
It's tender will hold twelve tons OF coal,
as against the five or six of the old
type.

NEW WHITE HOUSE RULES
Regulations Adopted to Handle the
Crowd at the Presidents New
Years Reception.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec 20
AS the result of conference OF the
army, navy and marine corps officers
detailed to duty at White House So
cial functions, new method has
been devised of handling the great
crowd at the Presidents New Year
reception There was bad conges-
ton last year in the long. tunnei-Iike
eastern wing of the White House,
through which the callers were oblis-
ed both TO enter and depart
Under the new plan callers VIII en-
ter the White House at the north
door. Within the vestibule they will
turn to the right, passing through a
small ante room and go straight to
the Red Room, instead of going
through the State dining room, as
heretofore. In the Red Room callers
will turn TO the left and enter the
Blue Room, where the President and
the receiving line VIII be stationed.
Opposite the receiving line will stand
uniforms. Colonel Cromwell, u s.
a, will make the fntroductions to
the President, and Major McCawIey,
U. S. NJ. c., will announce the names.
Callers will then proceed into the
East Room, out Of the north door OF
that room down stairs to the east
wing and out to the street This
makes a single line moving always
ahead and never doubling on itself
IN narrow place.
