ELECTRIC
Look Like Ordinary Express Cars
and Are Cf Superior Speed
AMI Power.

Some idea of what the locomotive OF
the future will be may be gained from
the type lately completed for the use
or the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad by the Westinghouse
company. The first of Is locomotives
ordered by that company, reports the
Boston Transcript, that within an
quarter of a century a steam
locomotive in New York will be q
sight to cause people to collect in
crowds. The new electric locomotive
looks like an ordinary express car,
with a double trolley connection on
the roof of the cal. 1t weighs only
~ tons, but it's builders claim that 1t
car pull a train of $50 tons between
New York and Boston at an average
speed OF 70 miles an hour. A freight
train that a bring goods from New
York to Boston in three hours will
get plenty of business even though the
freight rates may be raised. And yet
this type of locomotive is only the
first Of what is sure to be a long line
or locomotives, of increased speed and
power, and the differences between
this and the electric locomotive of the
future may be as great as hat be-
tween S~tephenson's Rocket" and the
2O0-ton locomotive of the Pennsyl.
vania to-day.

Pensions to Railroad EMPLOYEES.

In the six years that the pension
system of the Pennsylvania railroad
has been in operation there has been
authorized to be paid in pension allow
ance to the retired employees of the
company the sum Of So, 1904, OS7. SO,
made up each year as follows: 1905,
$500, 900; 1904, $3.50, 900; 1908, $780,
374.32; 1902, s~32S,4O3.1O; 1901, $780,
5000, and 1900, s~244,O19.97. During
the six years no less than 1900 en-
ployes have been retired and pen
stoned. 1t is a singular fact that when
the railroad company projected it's
pension system strong opposition was
made by many of those who were to
be its beneficiaries. They are not crit
lcising 1t now.-Newark Advertiser.

FAMOUS RAILROAD DOG.
Travels on the Bangor and Aroostook
Line and Is Popular and
Privileged.

Elbridge Barrows, Of Great Works
Me-, who has a barber shop in Old
Town, is the owner of Bob" the
travelling dog. Bob is known all along
the line of the Bangor & Aroostook
railway and is petted and made much
Of by the railroad men.
Bob scorns the society Of other
CANNES, takes no interest in the ordi-
nary sports and pastimes Of dogland
and has devoted his life to a studying
of ~railroading.
At first Bob's trips were confined to
the short stretch between Great Works
and Old Town in company with his
master, but he soon began to essay
longer Journeys by himself. At what
ever station the fancy seizes him he
alights from the train and prepares
to stay a part of the day and perhaps
warm corner to sleep and enough to
eat, for the hospitality of all railroad
employees is extended to him.
Bob cannot read, Of course, and it
IS unlikely that he can tell what time
it is by looking at a clock. Anyway
no one has ever seen him scanning
either time table or timepiece. Never
theless, Bob always knows, no matter
whether he be in Boston, Old Town,
Caribou, Bangor or other station, just
when the train will start and what
route it will take. With the last
warning signal of the conductor Bob
leaps aboard the train.
Bob's favorite position when the
car is not crowded is the window side
Of a seat, with his paws resting on the
little table in front. He is invariably
a model passenger, never growls be-
cause the train is behind time, doesn't
ask the conductor for all kinds of
unnecessary information and treats
the brakemen and train boys with
n~everfailing courtesy.

RAILROAD STATION GARDEN
Suggestions on Landscape Treatment
Of Grounds and APP
proaches.

In a lecture delivered last summer
at Chautauqua, Lester G. Griffith hint
ed in a very prctical manner the ap-
plication Of landscape gardening prin-
ciples to railroad property. He point"
ed out that the station, including both
buildings and grounds, is a focal point
through which the travelling public
radiates. To introduce and direct the
passengers to the town, Is the con
trolling principle in station grounds
design. Natural existing features may
often be made a most attractive part
Of the station parks. A stream, pond
or piece of woodland may be SO united
with the rest of the grounds as to be
an intricate part and that with a most
pleasing effect.
The materials applicable to railroad
planting need to be hardy on account
of the dusty and smoky conditions
which they must endure. The short
lived flower patch is a poor and ex-
pensive apology for the vastly superb
or and less expensive perennial plant
ing. Moreover, with US throughout
the year. Heavy masses of a single
species of plants are more effective
than the mixing Of individuals of sew
eral species. These single specie
masses are to be SO placed that they
easily blend and together make a har-
monious whole. Charming seasonal
effects may likewise be produced.
Aside from having station grounds
and the right of way we'll arranged
and properly kept for the good OF the
passengers of the road, they should be
so treated because of the educational
influence eXerted upon the commune
ties reached by the road. The spirit
Of regard for beauty and order will
be felt farther than the borders Of the
line. Every passenger will carry with
him an impression that will sooner or
later materialize in some form of do
nestle or civic improvement. The
railroad thus creates an object lesson
for promoting good taste in outdoor
art and for civic improvement. The
railroad not only betters its own con-
dition but at the same time becomes a
public benefactor.

Latest in Railways.

Hochstauffen, near Bad R~eichenhall,
In Germany, will 500 have one Of the
most peculiar railways in the world.
1t will run up a steep m~ountain-side,
and will be operated by a balloon.
The mountain is SO steep that no
ordinary way of locomotion would do.
so it has been planned to hitch a bal.
loon to the car that makes the up trip.
and have it practically lift the a to
the top of the hill. But the car will
be held to the earth by clamps that
will retain the wheels close to the
rails, and the upward tendency Of the
balloon will furnish the power. The
big bag of gas will be 81 feet in diam
eter, and will have a lifting capacity
about 1 1000 pounds.

Linen Parasols Go with Palmer Shirt
Waist Suits and Lingerie
Styles Harmonize.

The most fascinating hats and para.
and made to go together, yet in reali.
ty happening upon that effect in nine
cases out of ten.
Lingerie styles are responsible for
much OF 1.-THE whole wide range OF
lingerie ideas echoed and reechoed in
the parasols; in fainter, though no
less exquisite, tone in hats. Some one
has glibly prophesied the passing OF
the fluffy parasol, claiming that In
stead will be carried the palmer types.
Yet lingerie dresses grow more pop
ular all the while, and ruffles are
piled upon %ruffles, seemingly without
end. That prophecy is bound to be
wrong, for, so long as the summer
girl holds court dressed in the sheer
est, softest of gowns, which pillows
and froths about her, just so long will
she, in spite Of fashions dictums,
twirl, in lieu of a scepter, the ARREST,
most useless, but wonderfully pictur-
esque and becoming parasol.
Those palmer styles will be car
ried more than the fluffy ones without
a doubt-just as shirt-waist suits and
the many attractive models Of linen
suits are more in evidence in sun
times than those billowy, beruff1ed,
b%eribbOned things. But each will
have it's place and each will be car
ried--you might almost say worn
with the sort of gown it best suits.
And hats of linen and Of linen
and lace will go with them.
For the p~lainest shirt-waist suits
the prettiest linen parasol is made,
plain except for a rather large motif
embroidered in each panel, or per-
haps in only one, with the initials
c%unningly interviewer, SO as not to
be too c~Onspicuously plain to any
one--more in the nature Of those
clever seals which look like an old
eastern charm, but which are real
ly the three initials made into a
cabalistic sign.
Eyelet work holds it's own in the
parasol world, and insertions of lace
are even NOR popular than ever,
both cluny and Irish lace used in
prOfusion.-Chicago Record.

DR.. e Must Pay.

In the case of DR.. NJ. F. Rogers VS..
the State, appealed from Union county,
the supreme court upheld the finding Of
the lower court. This is the case in
which the appellant, DR.. Rogers, APP
peared at the bar of the court in his
W cause and gave his reasons for re-
fusing to tell the grand jury how the
package of $4,000 came into his hands
for delivery to the express company.
The court says: No individual feelingc r
sentimental considerations can iusti
anyone, no matter how lofty his pun
pose, as shown in this case, from defy
ing and ignoring the mandate of the
statute. Therefore, with feelings of re-
greet, the lower courts decision in the

COULDN'T MAKE THE STOP
Station Agents Wise Suggestion to
an Engineer of Limited
Experience.

A. J. Cassatt, the president Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, said at his
New Years reception, anent an mex.
p~erienced workman:
THAT reminds me of a western LAD.
He got a place on a railroad, became
a brakeman, then a fireman, and one
day, in an emergency, he undertook
to run a locomotive.
He ran the locomotive we'll enough,
but he could not stop with the neces'
sary precision, for this needs practice.
With one station in particular he
had trouble. He ran some 80 yards
beyond this station, and then, putting
back, he ran as far the other way.
He was preparing for a third attempt,
when the station agent put his head
out of the window and shouted:
"'Stay where you are, Jim. Wen
shift the station for you"

Buried Under a Brush Heap.
Mrs. Matte Mcintosh, who is under

mob near OkolOna and left for dead.
She finally recovered and walked back
to town. Mcintosh left his home one
night and never returned home. Sub
sequently rains washed out his headless
body from a shallow grave not far from
his home. Mrs. Mcintosh was arrested
Tor the murder, and was released on q

case holding that the actual murder
was the work of some one else.
tncensed at the action of the Justices
a mob took her from her home at night.
The members demanded that she reveal
the names of her co~nfederates. Fail
Ing to secure this confession they
swung her up. She was let down and
again asked for the names. She did
not give the required information and
again was strung up.
When the woman was lowered the
second time she was unconscious. An
examination convinced the mob that
she was dead. She was then taken to
the woods, buried under some brush
and leaves, and the mob dispersed.
Mrs. Mcintosh finally recovered con-
seriousness and made her way to town,

Oh he note If you sell ii, and the maker
falls to pay. Take, for instance, Sarah
Slater borrows of you (Anna Gordon)

mand. You wish to transfer this note
TO Elizabeth Barton, so you write on
the back Pay to the order of Elizabeth
Barton" and sign your NAME, Anna
Gordon. When this note becomes due,
Sarah Slater does not pay it. Thus you
are legally responsible for the amount.
The only way in which you can avoid
this is, when signing, to write with
out recourse over your name on the
back.
Kindly explain what Is meant by
'~discounting' a Bust
ness Woman.
IT you hold a mans note and wish
to realize money on it without waiting
for 1t to mature, you can sell it to q
broker or bank. Of course, you must
expect to lose something on the note,
or, In other words, to pay for the &C.
commodation. The rates of discount
vary according to the security offered
and the character of the loan. The
interest laws Of some states limit the
rate to be charged, but many people
take advantage of the situation to ask
a large discount.
"Will you kindly explain as simply
as possible what is meant by the in.
dorser of a note?' "A Dressmaker.
The indorser of a note is any person
who writes her name on the back and
thereby guarantees its payment. Nat
urally, Endorsements are not readily
obtained, for it is not easy to borrow
the credit of another person and peo-
pie are rightly reluctant to make them
responsible for the debts of 9TH
ers. Second and third indorsers, if
there be such, become liable in their
turn. 1t is bad policy to indorse a
note and many business men refuse to
SO. Others say that they never do
it without expecting in the end they
will have to pay the face value.

Some banks will lend money on GER
