The Great Rsilway Congress at wash
inEton.


Tomorrow the International Railway
Congress will assemble at Washington
for it's first meeting in this country, and
will continue for ten days. Foreign
delegates to this convention have been
arriving for a week past, and their whole
number will be several hundred, includ-
ing the leading European experts in
railway management and operation.
Incidental to this congress there will
be at Washington the largest and most
complete exhibition ever made OF rail-
road appliances, by American manu-
facturers. This practical demonstra-
ton Of American invention and develop
ment in the field Of railway transporta-
ton will be the feature Of the congress
which will be Of most interest and prob
ably OF most value to the foreign dele
gates, for American methods may be
said TO now furnish the most important
Of the lessons taught in the history Of
railroading, more especially as concerns
economy in operation. Our railroad
engineers and operators, however, can
also learn much from European expert
ence and practise.
The last Of these international railway
congresses was held at Paris Ave years
ago, and since that time the advances
made in the whole business Of trans
portation have been in many respects
the most important since the beginning
OF the era of railroads, for example in
the use of electricity as a motive power.
These improvements and developments
will afford themes for discussion in the
many papers which will be read before
the congress by distinguished foreign
and native experts. The path along
which and the methods by which future
progress will be made will engage their
attention and receive from them treat
ment which is sure TO command the pub
lie interest.
The railway mileage in this country is
about half the total in the world. 1t ex-
ceeds the total in Europe by about one
quarter, yet our facilities for railroad
transportation ays still so far inadequate
TO the demands on them that the progress
Of business is retarded seriously. Rail-
roads generally are congested with
traffic. More tracks. locomotives and
cars are required, and it is impossible
promptly TO provide the further facili-
ties needed to keep up with the growing
traffic. At the rate Of that increase in
the last seven years the tonnage seven
wears hence will be nearly doubled.
The provision Of facilities adequate for
the transportation Of this traffic is, for
this country, the most serious problem
for discussion and settlement.
The International congress which
meets at Washington tomorrow will
therefore deal with questions Of profound
importance to us more especially, and
they will be questions which will pot only
tax the expert intelleots which discuss
them, but in their mere statement will af-
ford stimulation for the imagination Of the
statesman. They are among the greatest
problems now before the world.

The methods Of theatrical managers are
often spectacular and dazzling, but at
times they become lugubrious and puzzling.
When a young woman who cannot by any
stretch Of language or imagination be called
a singer announces that because an or
chestra Of honorable union musicians can
not follow her in her deviations from the
path Of vocal rectitude she will no longer
'sinR" to such accompaniment, and the
manager kneels before her and spends most
Of a night in implorlng her TO reconsider
her refusal, instead Of inviting her COR
daily 10 pass down and out into the broad
highway in front Of his theateT, his course
becomes inexplicable to unpreiudiced OBJ
servers.
Stars in these days do not a'ways rise to
the topmost rank in the theatrical profession
by reason Of their unquestioned superiority
Managers select their own stellar material,
very nebulous indeed In many cases, and
cause Il 10 shine with magnitude in the
theatrical armament. Those who have to
give up their good money TO witness the
performances Of some Of these great stage
percentages are glad when the managers
become enraged and try TO drive them
violently down steep places into the sea-
but they are neither surprised nor panied
when they decline TO be driven, but turn
and bite the hand that first fed them.

was as follows: Enrolment ia,
Average attendance 90, percent of
attendance 87H
Last spring every child who had
bank deposit received a check for
his money. He was asked to keep
this and return it at the opening of
the. school year. More than thirty
children did so and the aggregate
amount of their checks was Ss5.2 ~
Ten children were tardy on the
day when the show parade took
place. This raises the number OF
cases 'of tardiness, but still it is
smaller than for the same month
last year.
The school will have a spelling
contest on Friday, November 10th.
The winner will receive $3.50 in
cash. The contest is open to all
pupils in the school, 1t is the in
tention to challenge the township
at later date. At this contest a
valuable prize will be offered. Now
let everyone study his spelling book.
There was not a case of tardiness
in the high school and only two
pupils were absent. The enrolment
in this room for the first month was
IS. There are now three more.
The room is in much better shape
in every way than it was last year.
