An INCREASE
IN TRAFFIC
ON THE ROCK ISLAND MAKES ADDI-
TIONAL EQUIPMENT NECESSARY.
WILL BE DELIVERED
DURING MARCH.
.SIXTY-FIVE NEW LOCOMOTIVES,
New Passenger Coaches and Over 1000
Freight Cars.

1t has been announced that to
provide for the increased volume Of
trafhcon the Rock Island lines. a
large amount Of newequipment will
be delivered, during the month Of
March, on orders placed several
months ago. 1t is indicative of
the industrial and commercial pros
perity of Rock Island States that,
even before the receipt of the new
equipment. it has been found nee
essary to place another ia-ge order
for delivery in the early summer.
The rolling stock which will be
placed in service this month in
cludes twenty new pattern passen
ger cars from the Pullman shops,
which embodys many comfort-con-
tributing devices that they make
a distinct advance in day passenger
equipment. This new departure
will come as surprise to the wes-
tern travelling public. Ten Of the
cars will be seventy-foot chair cars,
furnished with sixty-four twin re-
clining chairs, seating as many peo-
pie. The interior finishis Mexican
mahogany; decorationisolive green
with plain green linesand the chairs
are upholstered in green. The cars
are equipped for lighting both by
Pintsch gas and electricity and are
fitted with electric fans, for venti-
lation and cooling.
The other ten cars are seventy
foot vestibuled coaches, with seat
ing capacity for eighty. The seats
are upholstered in maroon plush;
otherwise the decorations are the
same as in the chair cars. All the
cars have very large double plate
glass windows and are equipped
with Pullman standard six-wheel
trucks.
One rev feature that will be in
troduced in these cars will be an
improved draft gear with I25ooo
pounds spring capacity. This is
about six times the spring capaci-
ty Of an ordinary passenger coach.
On heavy trains, pulled by giant To-
comotives, this increased capacity
Of the draft gear prevents disagree
able jars in starting and stopping Of
trains.
An order is also in for over q, 900
freight car Of various kinds, in
Guiding
1900 refrigerator cars
1900 box cars
500 furniture cars
ATS coal flats
$50 special design dump cars
$50 convertible coal and ballast cars

The Rock Island will also re-
ceive, during March, 65 new loco
motives of various kinds, including
twenty Pacific type passenger. ten
Atlantic type passenger, fifteen
freight and twenty switch engines.
An additional order for fifty loco
motives will be placed in the near
future, for delivery in the summer.
OF the new motive power to be
delivered this month, six of the
passenger engines are to be equip

HOMELESS MEN IN CHICAGO.
Relief and Aid Society Tells Story O
City's Miserable.

Relief and Aid Society Tells Story of
City's Miserable.
Fifty thousand widows and fifty
thousand children who are half-or-
phans exist in Chicago, according to
the forty seventh annual report Of the
Chicago Relief and Aid Society.
Twenty five thousand homeless men
as a permanent factor Of Chicago's
population is another item estimated
in the report. There are 5000 desert
ed women also, who are the mothers
Of $4,000 children. Eight thousands
persons in the city are suffering from
tuberculosis.
OF the $4,000 half-orphans between
and IA years Of age the report says:
such children are pressed into SER
vice at an early age and many Of them
have been poorly nourished on account
OF the desperate struggle the mother
has had to keep her family together.
They begin their work with poor equip
ment physically. Our aid is often in
voked where we find delicate young
girls going to their work poorly shod,
scantily clothed and underfed. This
Is also the case with school children.
We also often find a boy or girl of
school age kept at home to care for
the younger children. It is usually
against the real wishes Of the parent,
but the father or mother must work. -
OF the $4,000 homeless men the re-
port declares: "They come and go,
but this average number is always
with us. Many Of them make no Sc
rious effort to improve their condition.
There are others who are honest seek
ers for work, who, having lost cour-
age and health, need and appreciate q
friendly hand"
The tuberculosis figures Of the re.
port are significant. Three thousand
and five hundred deaths were record
ed last year. Only 415 beds are avail
able for tuberculosis patients in Chi
cago. Two-thirds of the 5000 tuber
culosis sufferers in the city, or 1888.
are among the poor. The report says
concerning them: Exposure. under
nutrition and hard work lower the
physical tone and render the body sus-
ceptible to Infection. With less than
$50 free beds available and $3.50 pa
tents, 1t is evident that whatever
treatment these people have must be
in their own homes. When the bread
winner is afflicted the burden is espe-
cially heavy. Fresh air, good shoes,
comfortable clothing and plenty Of
wholesome, nourishing food are need
ed. The family is often cramped for
room and one or more persons sleep
with the consumptve." - Chicago

FAR FROM THE FIRING LINE.
Place Of the Comm anding General In
q Great Battle Today.

Place of the Commanding General in
Great Battle Today.
To-day circumstances place a COM
mander completely out Of sight Of his
army. He is usually located at least
ten or fifteen miles from the firing line
and in many instances is even farther
away. He sits in a room, where .radi-
ate telephone and telegraph lines to
the remotest portion of the field, plac-
ing him in instantaneous communion
ton with his principal subordinates.
The famous painting Of Napoleon at
Austerlitz represents, in the popular
eye, commanding general directing
great battle. But it belongs to the
warfare of the past. The artist who
aspires to depict the direction of
modern battle must show a man seated
at table on which is spread a huge
map dotted with little flags indicating
the location Of the opposing forces,
with an ordinary desk telephone at his
elbow. In an adjoining room is
switchboard, where sit alert operators
ready to connect the commander with
any Of the field headquarters. From
this room also comes the steady click
ing Of a score of telegraph instru-
ments, busily receiving and sending
messages.
But for he military uniforms Of the
messengers and the going and coming
Of staff officers, the man at the table
might be stock operator directing,
through his brokers, deal in steel or
railroad securities. Even the stenog-
rapher at his elbow is not lacking, but
sits quietly taking messages under die
tation, to be transmitted presently by
telegraph. Other officers copy these
messages and file them away, after
putting them under a tme-recording
stamp, to show the hour they were
sent, 50 that afterward delinQuencies
may be located and responsibilities
fixed.
Thus, apart from the excitement and
horrors Of the battlefield, a general sits
at desk and calmly directs the battle.
He hears that this attack has been re-
pulsed and that re-enforcements are
needed here, that ammunition Is run
ming low there, that this division has
been cut to pieces, that those troops
have been two days without food, and
so on, along his forty miles Of front,
and takes his measures accordingly.
This picture is not fanciful. With due
allowance for the fallibility Of all hui
man devices when subjected to the
strain Of abnormal conditions, it is
substantially correct

Railroad Rate Legislation.

Testiyfing before the Senate Commit.
tee at Washington. Interstate Com
MERGE Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give TO
that Commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develope their own bust
ness. l have never advocated any law,
and l am not now in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any commits
sion or any ocurt. While it may be
necessary to do that some time. while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time. while it IS done in some
countries, am opposed to it. ****
The railway rate is property. 1t is all
the property that the railway has got.
The rest Of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company Of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of rail-
road; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
or four Der cent. When you put in a
rate that is inherently unreasonable,
you have deprived that compan of its
rights, of its property, and the circuit
court of the United States has jurisdic-
ton under the fourteenth amendment
to restrain that. ****I have looked at
these cases a great many times, and 1
can only come to the conclusion that
a railroad company is entitled to
charge fair and reasonable rate, and
If. any order of the commission, If any
statute Of a state legislation takes
away that rate, the fourteenth amend
ment protects the railway company"

THE LITTLE ONES ARE HIS

a little hand that softly stole
Into my own that day,
when l needed the touch that loved so
much
To strengthen me on the way.
Softer it seemed than the softest down
On the breast of the gentlest dove;
But it's timid press and its faint caress
Were strong in the strength of love!
1t seemed to say in a strange. sweet way,
II love you and understand"
And Gained my fears as my hot heart
tears
Fell over that little hand.
Perhaps there are tenderer, sweeter
things
Somewhere In the sun-bright land;
But | thank the Lord for his blessings
And the clasp of little hand.

RAID IN TENDERLOjN =,
Philadelphia Police in One Night Make
1000 Arrests.

Philadelphia, July 3.-By one of
the most gigantic police raids in the
history of any municipality the new
administration of PHILADELPHIA, en-
phasizing its hold on the city govern
ment, has swept clear of questionable
resorts a territory of 20 square miles,
including the tenderloin and fine resi-
of scandal that will wreck scores Of
homes.
Everything from massage houses to
opium joints and "speakeasies" was
closed
The station houses could not begin
to hold the prisoners, and from mid
night last night until 9 o'clock this
morning five magistrates labored to
dispose of the cases. Hardly a man
on the police force slept all night and
every patrol wagon in the city was in
constant requisition.
One hundred and fifty houses were
entered and 1000 prisoners, men and
women, taken. The approximate
amount of fines imposed upon the men
found in the places is $4,000
The approximate amount of bail i'm
posed upon the proprietors and in
mates totals 100000.
Three hundred quarts of champagne
were confiscated, also 100 cases of
cigars, and gambling devices of all
kinds.
The number of police employed in
the raid is 400. The raid was made
on evidence secured by the Law and
Order society.

In her eyes.
Tomorrow dawned bright as any

and furry Of the wedding was over
and the last guest had departed, Emily
called to the much disguised sister as
she was leaving, and said: "Oh, Caro-
