NOTES OF THE RAILWAYS
Pennsylvania Is Experimenting
With New Concrete Bed.

Appoints Inspector of Tracks ana
Roadway to Watch For Defects.
Leipsic's Giant Railroad Station.
Hospital Car on Southern Pacific
For Convenience of Passengers.
An experiment is being made with
a new roadbed on the Philadelphia di-
vision of the Pennsylvania railroad
and should it prove efficient after
fair trial may be applied to the entire
system, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A force OF 500 men has been put to
work laying concrete to serve as
foundation for the ballast upon which
the ties and rails are to rest. This
form of roadbed has been tried by va
rious roads and in each instance has
proved unsuccessful.
The chief virtue Of the concrete Is to
prevent washouts and destruction OF
tracks by storms, to which the cause
of many wrecks can be traced. Only
five miles of this road will be laid I'M
til it has been thoroughly tested. Penn
sylvania engineers say that the reason
that concrete has been unsuccessful IN
the past is that the cement has been
laid under improper conditions or has
been subjected to treatment that de-
tracted from its value.
Concrete roadbeds will be much more
expensive, but it is believed that the
additional economy in ties, which will
not rot so quickly, will partly offset
this.
With view to minimizing the dan
ger of disaster, the management Of the
Santa Fe has created the position Of
inspector of tracks and roadway, says
the Chicago Record-Herald. T. S. CAT
ferty. formerly roadmaster of the com
pany. with Jurisdiction over the line
between Topeka and the Missouri riY-
err has been appointed to the new
place Mr.. Cafferty will have jurisdlc-
ton over the property comprised III Ile
eastern grand division of the road
from Chicago to Newton and to Pur-
cell, 1. T.
The position is a much broader one
than that Of roadmaster and will in
sure a more rigid supervision over the
physical condition of the road. 1t is
the opinion of the management that an
inspector will be able to discover de-
fects in construction and material
which otherwise would go undiscover-
ed until a fast moving train found it
and went into the ditch. The recent
wreck of the California Limited train,
in which so many were killed and
wounded, is said to have been. caused
by the spreading of the rails, which
presumably was brought about by
faulty construction or materials. The
new inspector viii have under his con-
troll a large and efficient track walking

UNIVERSITY NOTES.

On Tuesday last, Mr.. John p. Mea-
kin addressed the students of the Uni
versity of Utah during chapel hour
Mr.. Meakin's talk was both instructive
and entertaining. For nearly an hour
his auditors listened as he gave them
most encouraging advice interspersed
with many beautiful verses of his own
composition that were illustrative of
the instructive points he desired to
bring before their minds. He said:
"True happiness consists in making
others happy. The broad, full, kind,
pure life is the basis of true success
success that makes man enjoy nature,
the beauties of the mountains and the
valleys, of the meadows and the sing
ing of the birds; that makes man hap
py and full of life, ready and able to
diffuse cheerfulness and kindness
through the world, while one is gain
ing the greatest in life for himself.
He warned the students against the
popular notion that wealth Is always
an indication of success. Material
possessions" said Mr.. Meakin, "are
merely surface indications that may or
not prove that ones life has been sue
cessful but success is found always
in the life that makes for cheerfulness,
kindness, purity and happiness
" -
Last Friday evening Daniel Alex
ander and Dale Parke, the university
debating team selected to meet the
Idaho team, met the Idaho debaters
and were defeated. 1t will be remem-
bered that the university of Utah won
the contest last year.

pletion so that in a day or so it will

A WONDE
THE AGES GREATEST INVENTION
HARDLY SEEMS POSSIBLE.

1t Is conceded on every point that
the nineteenth century brought out
more inventions of worlds interest
than any age previous to that time.
1t is impossible to conceive OF any
one thing that has caused more investi-
cation on the part of the public than
has the wonderful Victor Talking Ma
chine.
To think of machine reproducing
the songs of Melba, Caruso, Sembrich
or any of the worlds artists, or Sousa's
band Does it not seem marvellous?
II Is, however, a fact.
Nine. Melba on hearing the reproduc-
ton of song that she had sung re-
marked that 1t Is now possible for her
to hear her own voice perfectly-some-
thing she had never been able to do
before.
1t is quite impossible for you to con-
ceive of the pleasure and satisfaction
of one of these instruments without
hearing them.
We have just received the largest
stock of machines and records that
ever came to this Western country
and we earnestly invite you to come
and attend our recitals every day.

SPORTING GOSSIP.

If the newly organized Pastime club
continues as it has begun it will receive
merited support. While the principal
event at the opening was a disappoint-
ment because Danforth hung the In
dian sign on Hamp before the first
round was half over, at the same time
there were none of those EXPLANATIONS
of fake" that have marked several
exhibitions of the manly art in this
city. Hamp showed as much pluck and
gameness as any man who ever
stepped into ring and 1t was lamenta-
BILE that he went down and out so soon
The two men had scarcely got together
before Danforth landed wallop on
lamps jaw that sent him to the can
vass. He took the count in dazed
sort of way and got up to get wallop
in the stomach and another to the head
that sent him down again. He took
the count and came back for more.
This time he got it for fair and his Sec
onds threw up the sponge. Danforth's
friends now want to match him against
Spider Welch.
The preliminaries were good and the
men deserved the applause bestowed.
All in ALL it was good exhibition, and
Truth feels to say that the next event
the club puts up should be well pat
ronized. The crowd was orderly and
well behaved and the evening passed
off very pleasantly, for which the man
agement is entitled to credit
1t is understood that the club does
not intend to encourage that class of
pugilists known as meal ticket fight
ers" for all of which let us be truly
thankful. Only men for whom matches
have been arranged will be tolerated
and there will be no use of any of the
rough sort coming here.

Truth goes to press too early for the
McCarthy-Mellod fight at Butte, but
from the dope given out before the mill
Jerry's friends are confident of his
winning, although the other crowd has
some money on the match that says
mccarthy will not be in it. Jerry has
been improving of late, since he cut
out that low crouch and let's go from
the standing position.
