PEAT As LOCOMOTIVE FUEL
Successful Tests in New England
 Great Etoras If If in Maine

Successful Tests in New England-- Great Stores of It in Maine.
 Peat is abundantly stored in our Maine bogs. Androscoggin county has enough peat to supply all Maine with fuel for a generation. Yet we fail to encourage intelligent efforts to develop our own resources in fuel. A number of experiments, which will be of inter- est to many Maine men, have recently been made by the Boston and Maine Railroad In the use of peat fuel. So far the tests have given entire satisfaction and now the company is preparing to- give the new locomotive fuel a mora extended trial than any heretofore un- dertaken.
 The company had its attention called to the value of peat as a steaning agency some weeks ago, and upon re- presentation that 1t was equal to bitu- minous coal was induced to test it's qualities. These were enninently satisfy ling and a carload of the material has teen delivered for further experiment. The source of supply is in the town of Lewington, Mass, and 1t is said that this single deposit would furnish enough fuel for all the railroads enter ling Boston for a period of 250 years.
 The treatment consists in cutting out the peat in large cubes and then sub< ljecting them to heavy pressure, which exudes all the moisture and makes the mass as compact as anthracite. In the pressing the cakes on an eliptfcal shape, with an inch hole running through them, which admits of freq burning. Tn reporting on the first ex lperiments the officials of the road say that they found that this fuel made an Exceptionally hot fire, was free from smoke, and that it could be purchased for less than coal. From an economical
 standpoint however. the coal showed to. better advantage owing to slower con-
 sumption, but the two asfyasat
 named for the peat fully offset that its
 favor of coal.
 l The further tests which the companv proposes making will be watched with
 interest, as a solution of the present smoke nuisance may be found in the general use for steaming purposes of
 the peal fuel. Lewiston Evening Jour- lnal.

CHICAGO.

It may be two or three years before the Ferguson monument fund be- comes available, but the announcement of the bequest has set people thinking, and thus it has already begun it's work.
 MT, Ferguson's directions are explicit, and yet capable of liberal interpreta- ton. His money is left to erect and maintain t'statuary and monuments cominerating worthy men and women of America or important events of American history" It is fortunate, in- deed, that the far sighted donor did not say "representing" instead of "con1- rnemorating." A man may be fifty and beautifully commemorated by means of an ideal group or g. fountain, an object of beauty in itself. It must be conced- ed, however, that the modern costume for men is not an object of beauty, particularly in bronze and marble
 Imagine our Lake Front Park invaded by an army of portrait! Whats de- pressing display we could easily make there with rows of gentlemen in Prince Alberts," like clothing dunl- mics! Some of us could get along nicely with never an addition to the citys exhibit of full length figures of men of our time. St. Gaudens has given us in his Lincoln perhaps the finest portrait statue in all America, but it takes a St. Gaudens to handle such subject. AS a rule, one pair of bronze trousers is not very much more interesting than another pair. In too many cases the encouragement of sculpture means nothing but an in definite multiplication of these ex- amples of modern tailoring, planted at regular intervals in public places be- fore unwilling eyes. Is it any wonder that most people think that they do not care for statuary ?-The World To- Day.

Wright has engaged Claire Grenviile, Fthe famous comedienne for the very funny character of the beauty special ist, who guarantees to make the old young and the ugly beautiful, and Miss Greenville's success in the part is said to be duplication of her previous hits in other musical comedies.

 enjoyed by all, The first part present ed scene og gorgeous elegance. The stage settings and embellishments was
 of high order, which, when contrast Ted with the costumes of the minstrels, gave a strikingly beautiful effect. As
 the company numbers among its mem bers some of the bright lights of min strelsy the various vocal numbers, fun ny sayings and doings of the end men
 were well received. Some splendid new vocal material
 was also noticeable and the singing
 was very fine. In the olio, the Alvin brothers, com. edy acrobats, and McDevitt and Kelly,
 shoe and buck dancers, were much en- 1oyed. Henry Hoff, on his supported ladders, gave truly remarkable exhi- hilton of balancing. He ascendedd and
 descended 12-foot ladder wholly tn- supported, and dexterously maintained his equilibrium. Much local interest centered in the Banta brothers, New

 on the programme. They show the ef- fleets of consistent training since leav- l. ing New Haven and their work was
 very fine. They were assisted by Van Dill; also musical genius, Myar Fred
