Japan won by forcing the fight. It
struck the first blow, and followed it
up so quickly and so savagely that
Russia was defeated on land and sea
before it knew it. It was short
war, all things considered, beginning
III February year ago, and yet in
casualties it left over six hundred
thousand victims on the field Of bat.
tie, and cost both contestants together
more than one billion dollars. Beyond
question, this frightful loss of life and
property fastened the conclusion OF
peace; for behind President Roosevelt
stood the powerful influence Of all the
great bankers of the world.

little county that was left when the
borough of Queens was chiseled out of
the county of that name There was
no use for new county except to fur
nish jobs for new set of officials
There are only three townships in the
county, which is a mere belt run across
Long Island from sound to sea, and
hemming in the city on the east. 1t is
a combination of suburb and summer
resort, and it is spoiled by the incur
sions of the rich. The fact that the
road race last year brought $4,000
into the county and will this year bring
more outweighs in the minds OF the
hotel keepers, who are the political
power, any consideration of danger or
of misuse of the highway.
Besides, the auto people did a
shrewd trick in laying out their new
racecourse. Last years course ran
across the railroad track three times
at grade and passed through two large
villages, where the machines had to
slow up. Besides, there were the
babies. This year, the course is laid
farther north in rougher and hitler
country, with no large villages on the
way. There will be no Controls The
chauffeurs will make the course around
and around at topmost speed. They
will take the four bad short turns 1T
such speed as they think their ma
chimes will stand AS to that, they have
been practicing the turns day after day.
to see just what they can do. Still,
any man is likely to lose his head
when he is periling his nfe in a race
that means uncounted thousands to his
employer and something for himself.
1t will be wonder if some machines
do not fly off the course at the corners
and pillow into the crowds which will
gather there in the hope-er-in the
expectation of bloodshed. Last year
the races cost the lives of two men and
serious. injury to another. Young
Croker, who took part in it, was killed
later on the beach track in Florida. No
spectator was injured seriously.

railroad train. The president himself
holds card Of membership III the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and while he has not had any practi-
cal experiences. in shoveling coal on a
big steamer, under the tutelage of
Frank Sergeant, the chief of the emf
grafton bureau, he could no doubt, in:
an emergency, keep up a good fire and
make the requisite steam. >ss@.,-
On the righthand side of the locomo-
tive cab ON which the president could
engage to fire under the rules of the
order, Third Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Edwin q. Madden could take his
seat, and with his hand on the thrct-
tie, drive am engine with the best en-
gineers of the country. Mr.. Madden
served his apprenticeship and ran a
locomotive for number of years be-
fore he went into the public service
and he has not forgotten his trade.
At the capital is another employe,
Dave Moore, in charge of the docu-
ment room of the house, who is an all
round railroader and while he sat in
an engine cab for many years, he
would be able to don a conductors uni
form and run the train according to
railroad rules. Representative "Thad"
Mahon, of Pennsylvania, was in his
time an expert baggage 'smasher" and
he could hold up his end on provis-
ional government train. Consul Gen.
eral Wynne, now in London, and for
merly postmaster general, is an expert
telegrapher and in a pinch he might
act as train dispatcher, while the nec-
essary brakemen ana fasmen could
easily be obtained from men of expert
ence in those positions who are now
drawing salaries from Uncle Sam.
The president has great liking for
railroad men and he never comes in
from one of his trips that he does not
go to the engine and shake hands with
the engineer and fireman. It was
through Frank Sergeant that Mr..
Roosevelt was made an honorary mem
Der of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen.

5000 of these warrants were signed in

of individual Indians in the west for
insignificant sums.
The treasurer of the United States
has also to sign all these warrants and
it is big task Treasurer Treat who
came into Office on July 1 has learned
to attach his name to these valuable

for a number of different fountain pens

each specimen finally settled on the

buttermilk is thrown. away in this
country every year. He has learned
recently from medical experts thai
buttermilk is very valuable in the
treatment of diseases of the kidneys
such as Bright's disease and diabetes
and he says if some one would invent
a plan by which it could be condensed
and preserved for medicinal purposes
the inventor would render humanity
an Invaluable service.

earthwOrks that were thrown up in
defense of the capital during the civil
war
A drive around the line of old forti-
fications forms one of the-most impress
sive features of the city. They extend
in continuous circle of forts and
earthworks, 81 miles in circumference,
from Alexandria on the Virginia side
of the Potomac to Fort Greble nearly
opposite that. city on the Maryland
banks. The necessity for these FORTH.
cations was seen early in the war. Tho
first erected were on the Virginia side,
running from Alexandria up to Airing
ton Heights and the Potomac. Then
they were extended on around the city
as the confederate forces at various
times threatened the capture of the ma
tional capital. They were effective in
repulsing the dashes made by Early.
Mosby and others. In the country
round about, in both Maryland and
Virginia, stories are still told of Mos
by, that daring Virginia cavalryman,
and his dashes toward the capital
There is no doubt but that at many
times during the war Mosby's men
were often in sight of the dome of the
capitol. It might be mentioned that
Col. Mosby is now a trusted and useful

full square. To the northeast a ire
mendous excavation, square in ex-
tent, shows where the foundations for
the new senate office building are soon
to be laid. To the north of this the
whole face of the city has been changed
and the magnificent Union railroad sta
ton is beginning to take shape and all
idea can now be formed of the extent
and beauty Of this structure. The engi-
neers of the district estimate that with
in two years this splendid white gran
lite building will be completed and the
finest terminal depot in the world will
add it's beauty to the national capital.
This new building will be within
few feet as long as the capitol itself
The fine white granite that is being
used in the exterior walls will harmon
ize with the government buildings and
already the surrounding squares have
been filled in until the first story of
the new station appears practically on
a level with the capitol Right under
Capitol hill, between the national libra
ry and the capitol building, runs a rail-
road tunnel that will connect all south
ern roads with the new station. This
tunnel just touches the basement of
the new house Office building and
switches will be laid from it into the
very cellar of these Offices, so that
supplies, COAL paper, books and other
material can be unloaded right in the
building ITSELF
There has been more advancement in
public buildings in Washington in the
last ten years than the capital city had
seen for generation. Within the next
FIVE years still greater change will
be shown. 1t is possible that the next
congress will authorize the erection of
temple of justice.

Andrew carnesie's Gifts.

Mr.. Horace White, in dedicating the
new library building of Beloit College,
gave some interesting statistics re-
garding the benefactions of Mr.. An.
drew Carnegie in this line:
MIR. Carnegie has, up to the present
time, given or pledged himself to give,
1920 library buildings to the English
speaking people. OF these 799 are in
the United States" said Mr.. White.
THE aggregate cost of these build
ing is $39,325,2 ,240, of which s29, 1904, $50,
or practically three-fourths of the
whole. has been expended in this coun-
try, about s6,000,000 in England, about
$2,000,000 in Scotland, and s1,4E5, 500
in Canaia. The proportion of the total
population which Mr.. Carnegie has
supplied with library facilities is, for
the aggregate Of the English-speaking
race, little more than eighteen per
cent, and that is the percentage for
the United States, for England and
for Canada, taken separately"
