An important railroad story comes
from New Jersey, according to which
the PENNSYLVANIA proposes to build
trolley freight line from New York 20
Pittsburg. If such a line should be
constructed it would be an unexpected
application of electric motive power
to long distance run. We have been
told many times that the era of long
distance passenger trolley traffic on
steam roads is still far away, yet here
is plan to haul freight by trolley
several hundred miles over line own

Killed by Mob.
After shooting indiscriminately at
a crowd composed of whites and
backs, at Abbeville, Ga, Monday,
Haywood Moore, colored, was chased
out into the country, about a mile
from town, and. killed, his body be-
ing riddled with bullets.
The trouble arose over a quarrel be-
tween two negroes, Steve Mccoy and
a tailor named Burch. 1t seems that
Mccoy had ordered suit made by
Burch and paid him for it. Burch'
however, did not make the suit and a
quarrel followed, in which Mccoy
slapped Durch. Thereupon Moore, g
friend of the tailor's, who was stand
ing near, got a winchester and be-
gan shooting at the crowd.
A mob quickly formed and chased
Moore, with the result stated. Many
OF Abbeville's most prominent citl-
zens were in the mob.

maaterlinck.s view of Shakespeare.

Some interesting comments on Shakes
peare's art made by Maurice Maeter'

of "King Lear" in Paris, are contained
in Harper's Weekly. 1T is safe to oe-
clare" writes Maeterlinck, latter sur
yeying the literatures of every period
and of every country, that the Tragedy
of the old King constitutes the mslht-
lest, the vastest, the most stirring the
most intense dramatic poem that has
ever been written. Were we to be
asked from the height of another planet
which is the synthetic play represen-
tativo and archetypal Of the human
stage. the play in which the ideal OF
the loftiest scenic poetry is most fully
realized, it seems to me certain that'
after due deliberation, all the poets
Of our earth-the best judges IN THIS

THE WONDERFUL ToADs.
Real Explanation of Why They az
Found Alive Underground.

Found Alive Underground.
Have you ever seen toad Dury nlln-
self? Often, in moving a box OF
flower pot which has stood in a dark
and sheltered corner of the garden'
YOU will discover a toad underneath.
But he is not at all easy to see. HIS
fiat, rough back is perfectly level with
the surface on which the box rested,
for the toad is so loose and bulgy ID
figure that he can accommodate him
self like putty to the fat bottom OF tne
box under which he has hidden.
It is this habit of the toad, to be
discovered by the merest accident IN
the midst of soil which has apparently
formed around him, since there is no
visible aperture by which he entered,
that gives rise to the belief that toads
can live for unlimited ages under
ground.
When. too, miners and others
worthy men, who are evidently trying
to tell you the unvarnished truth
aver that they have. with their own
eyes, seen solid block of coal split
omen and a live toad fall out of an
hermetically sealed prison in the CEN
tire, the narrative seems to be more
than a startling confirmation Of your
own wondering belief.
The fact is, Of course. that the crea'
ture has buried himself where you
found him; and so quietly and unob-
trusively is the operation performed
that, even if you happen to be looking
in that direction, no movements catch
the eve. The toad simply sinks into
the soft ground backward, his long,
handlike feet showing the earth up
ward. around and over himself. mus
it smoothly closes over him, and,
though a mere film of soil covers him,
there is no sign whatever on the sur
face of his presence. He fills exactly
the same space as before, only frac'
ton of an inch lower.
Consequently, our friend, the toad'
sets out upon his little journeys with
so little circumspection that 1t is the
rule rather than the exception, when
YOU look down a deep we'll, to see luck
less toads straddling on the top OF the
water far below, hopeless prisoners for
life.
Arrived below, he follows natures
rule, and finds some crevice into which
he can bury himself backward, cover
ing himself with the loose debris when
his entry displaces, only coming out
at intervals to search for food. Then
some day there is blow of pick or
shovel above his hiding place; and. as
blocks fall aside, there, in cavity e2-
actly fitting his body, with no trace OF
any hole by which lie could have en-
tered an astonished toad stares at an
equally astonished miner.
A very simple geological Calculation
then fixes the approximate number OF
millions of years or so that that toad
must have remained in the centre OF
what has gradually become a block OF
coal-AnSwerS.

HOME PRICES TOO HIGH.
Canal Commission is Driven to For
eign Markets to Procure Materials
Needed for Building Waterway.

The executive committee of the
isthmian canal commission, in ses-
sion at Washington Monday, decided
to purchase in the markets of the
world the material and ships neces-
sary for the building of the Panama
canal.
This important decision was reach
ed with some reluctance, because it
was appreciated by Secretary Taft
and the executive committee that
there would be surely great outcry
from the two great interests in this
country, the producers of material and
ship owners, If the purchases were
not limited to the American prod
ucts. But it was decided that the
money consideration was so great tina;
it could rot be ignored, for it was
held that in some cases fully so per
cent more would be charged for mate
rial needed in canal construction than
the same goods could be procured
for in Europe.
Chief Engineer Wallace, for in
stance, showed that two ships, in ad-
dition to those running between New
York and Colon, and owned by the
Panama Railroad company, were abb
solutely necessary to carry the food
supplies and material needed for the
work. No American ships could be
bought at any reasonable price, and,
when it came to building such ships,
it was found, according to Secretary
Taft's statement, that while he could
buy two 6,OOO-ton ships in Europe for
s750,OOO, it would cost $1,400,OOO to
build such ships here.
AS to material needed for cana!
construction, the committee decided
that by reserving to itself the right
to purchase in the worlds markets,
it would at least oblige American
manufacturers to give them the ben
eft of their foreign prices If they
wish to sell goods to the commission.
Secretary Taft explained that he
felt obliged to indorse this decision
because having given congress every
opportunity to give contrary dlrec-
tion he felt that the very terms OF
the canal act provided that it should
be constructed at the lowest possible
cost. And in this connection he call
ed attention to the following recon-
mendation, contained in the first re-
port of the isthmian canal commits
sion:
can important question of policy Ia
yet to be determined. If the 18TH
mian canal commission is not bounu
by any restriction Of congress as to
where they shall purchase machinery,
material and supplies, then it wouls
seem to be their duty to construct
the canal as cheaply as possible and
so to buy what they need where they
can get it cheapest. This, however,
is certain to produce, every time that
a large contract is awarded to a for
eign manufacturer or dealer, an out
cry on the part of the American un-
successful competitor. If congress ap-
proves the policy of favoring Amer
lean manufacturers and dealers, even
if it increases the cost Of construction
of the canal, then it seems to be only
Just that it should declare this policy
by law and lay down a rule which
the commission can easily follow"
