turn to Ecuador, where he will build
for the government Of that republic
a new railroad, which will run from
Ambato. where the trade from the in

to obtain an outlet for the valuable
products of the large rubber and lum-
Der district on the upper Amazon riv-
err The road will cost about $4,000,
900 and American engineers and Amer
lean material will be used almost ex-
clusively.

THE OLD PORTAGE ROAD.
Built by Pennsylvania With Material
Brought From England.

For some time prior to 1900 travel
across Pennsylvania had been i'll ca

poles or along the shores of rivers by
horse and foot and by intervening
portages on Indian trails, connecting
points on the different rivers. The
Philadelphia-Pit tsburg national pike
was built upon such a substantial basis
that wherever undisturbed one still
solid masonry almost intact after more
than a century has passed. The com
pletion Of the Old Portage railroad by
the state of Pennsylvania in 1884 put

highest point was about 200 feet
above sea level, being only 200 feet
lower than the neghboring hill, which
is the highest point of the Allegheny

consisted of ten planes, five Of which

they could be taken in sections and

Pious Parrots.

Parrots are such close observers and
keen mimics that it would be surpris-
ing if birds in the households OF clergy
men and ministers did not repeat spe-
cial phrases at proper times. Indeed,
It would be as well not to hold family
worship with speaking parrot in the

INAUGURATION BALLS.
The First Was Madison's, Saturda y
Evening, March 4, 1909.

Evening, March 4, 1909.
Four hundred guests, as all the con-
temporaneous accounts agree, gathered
at the first inauguration ball, which
took place on the evening Of Saturday
March 4, 1909, at Mr.. Longs hotel, on
Capitol hill, in celebration of the ac
cession to the presidency of James
Madison Each of the three presidents
who had preceded him in Office had
been permitted to close the day of his
Inauguration by gong early to bed.
General Washington and John Adams
had been inaugurated at temporary
capitols, and Thomas Jefferson would
have rebelled against a ceremony
plainly modelled upon the customs Of
royalty, but when MadiSon's inaugu-
ration came the new federal city had
been a visible fact for nine years and
was determined to assert right to
enjoy itself Even in doing so it fol
lowed habit always hitherto associ-
ated with the celebration Of the coro-
nation Of kings.
Royal customs were really the only
ones the people knew, for every Amer
lean in Washington over thirty-two
years Of age had been born the subject
Of a king, and the new order of things
had not given birth to new ideas OF
how to manifest rejoicing. Moreover,
If the method chosen seems to some to
have been an Imitation Of monarchical
customs, they should reflect in extern
uation that it is an instinct Of man
coequal with his feeling the sensation
Of pleasure to show his joy by dancing
So an official ball closed the day of
Madison's Inauguration and has closed
the Inauguration day of every presi-
dent who has succeeded him.-Gail-
lard Hunt in Century.

The uncle Toms Cabin" company,
which exhibited under canvas in
the city park Tuesday evening, drew a
very large crowd. About all the child
rem in the town that could rustic the re-
quired admission fee Of % cents were
present. The show was by no means a
good one, but was, perhaps, as good as
the majority of tine Tom troupes on the
road. The price of admission was cheap
and We'd il this respect with the CON-
pany which had the nerve to ask the
local press to do its advertising for moth
ing-practically nothing-as all they
wanted to give in exchange was few
tickets. This didn't work worth cent
in this town as the newspapers can't ex-
ist here to any degree of satisfaction on
light air and mountain scenery, and the
coin of the realm had to be forth coming
before any agreement as to advertising
would be entered into. In way Of com
plimentary notice it can be said with
truthfuness than the company carried
a first class band for its size and the
music the twelve musicians discoursed
was highly enjoyed by those who heard
the afternoon and evening concerts.
