SINGIE-PHASE ELECTRIC ROAD
Between Annapolis, Baltimore And
The National Capitol.

Sinels-phasc electric traction has
| come 10 stay. The latest evidence 81
| this IS shown ia tie announcement
| that a singlephase electric road is
about TO be built connecting Annapo-
| lis. Baltimore and Washington u. q.
Some three years ago a company was
formed to carry out this project, bat
after the contract had been 1T for the
equipment the plans wefe abandoned.
Owing to the failure of the first single
phase project. most careful engi-
neerine study was made OF the c0ndi-
tions. and the final solution of the
problem, and the construction Of the
road By an entirely new company,
are proof of the merit "a the present
single phase system.
The contract for the entire electrical
equipment Of the Tejuyenaied road
has been let to the General Electric
Company. The total length of the
new road is about sixty ,mlies, double
tracked throughout. nhe main line
will connect Baltimore and Washing
ton, and there Will he j branch line
from a point ON the main line near
Odentof, extending 10 annapolis. A
very complete rollingstoeh equipment
will be provided for both express
and local service between the cities
mentioned. Nineteen express cars
will be operated each capable OF max
ing sixty miles an honf on lssel
track, and two heavy construction
cars will be equipped, each powerful
enough 20 haul atrain of FIVE ordinary
passenger coaches at fotty-fiNe miles
an hour.
-Four of the new type General Elee-
tric singlephase railway motors Will
be installed to drive each Of these
cars. These motors win each have a
capacity of l25 horsepower, and as in
the ease Of the New Haven equipme mt,
they can be operated not only on the
single phase electric trolley of the
main line, but also on the direet-cur-
rent trolley sections within the city
limits OF Annapolis, Baltimore and
Washington. Two motors. OF this
same size will be used on the local
service cars. All the cars viii be
equipped with the multiple-nnit sys-
tenn OF control, by means OF which
the cars can be operated single or IN
trains, on direct current or altefnat-
ing current, by one motorman.
Express cars will be run every
fifteen minutes between Baltimore and
Washington, the total time being
ssventy-two minutes. Power for the
new road Will be purchased from the
Potomac Electric Company at Wash-
ington, ID. c., and will be delivered
by that company to suitable substa-
tions located along the line, which
will supply single-phase current TO
the trolley at potential of b,oOO
volts. AS this is one Of the largest
installations Of exclusively single.
phase railway equipment, the con-
struction and operation of this road
will be watched with great interest in
railway and engineering circles

AN EXCELLENT COMPANY.
Mildred And Rouclere Give Pleas
ing Performance.

A return engagement of Mtidred
and Ronclere is always welcomed
here. where their art is well known.
They we've, therefore. greeted az the
Colonial Theatre Saturday night with
a large and appreciativo audience.
bsfore whom they gave their marvel
Gus and fascinating performance.
Although they deal with the occult,
their magical science Is such aeon
bination OF the subtle and mystical
that ii is anything but grnes me,
ana affords an evening OF delightful
surprises The sleight Of hand work
done by Rouclere is as clever as IL
is unique. and excsls anything ever
seen hers before. lie not only works
on the stage but in the audience and
picks money frem the heads, arms
aud hands of the surprised specta-
tors as easily as if the legal tender
really grew there. He smashed up
gentlemen's derby hats, tore them in
shreds and then returned them intact.
His box trick in the aisle in the
audience was exceedingly clever. He
is a conjurer, wizard and an illu-
sionary entertainer all wrapped into
one, and taken as whole the illn-
sionary entertainment was in its en-
tirety fantastical comedy. All the
vaudeville features We're good and far
above the average. There was nothing
gruesome or uncany about the perform
anee, but il was light and breezy and
fascinating. As n mind reader who Is
silent. Mildred is very good. She
goes into the audience, picks ont indi-
yiduals and writes answers 10 ques-
tions, but does not speak a word. Her
work, while exceedingly clever. is
not in the same class with shadow +
and comparisons are invidious.
The entire performance was highly
pleasing. acceptable and entertaining
ana Mildred and Rouclere viii always
find a hearty welcome from an Annap-
oils audience.
After four nights performance Of
a similar nature by Professor Bald
wins Company, the large audience
that greeted Mildred and Rouclere was
a compliment to their skill as necro-
mancers and legerdomain artists and
is marvellous even for Annapolis,
which is known TO be a critical theatre
town.
