IT ACTS LIKE ALKALI
Cold Weather Effects Boilers
Like Desert Water

The late cold snap had little effect on
passenger service of the roads running
out or st. Paul, but some of the lines had
trouble In maintaining schedule with
freight trains. Several of the latter ssdied"
IN inappropriate places and had to be
rescued from the nearest division points.
Minneapolis officer of the Minneapolis

aHects locomotives even when there is no
snow lying on the tracks to impede their
progress. He said:

The engineer fills his boiler with the

the engineer finds that his cylinders are

The election was one of the most stormy
events in the recent history of the Ameri-

20 hold his position in spite of the opposi-
ton against him, and fought hard bat
tie to retain the presidency. O'Brien was
Grillo'S most formidable opponent from
the start, having four of the five neces-

4ames of these clubs were not given out,
but late tonight the friends of O'Brien

much credit for the manner in which he
intercepted the ball and passed tito his

basket. The preliminary game between

The CAPITAL.

1t is not generally known, says the
Philadelphia Record, but it is fact OF
history nevertheless that Bristol town
ship, lying on the east side Of German
town, had a very narrow escape from
being selected as the site Of the capital
Of the United States. 1t was a very
small matter that turned the choice to-
ward Maryland and Virginia. SO posi-
tive were some members Of congress
that the capital was going to be located
near Germantown that they purchased
real estate there, not, Of course, as a
matter Of speculation, but simply to be
near at. hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place.
