HIGH COURT FOR sPooNER?
Senator May Be Offered Supreme
Bench Place.

Washington, Aug. 29.-There has
been revived discussion here Of the
probability that Senator Spooner will
be offered the place on the United
States supreme bench declined, ac-
cording to current rumor, by Secre-
tary Taft. Mr.. Spooner has twice de-
clined offers of a place in the cabinet
once as attorney general and once as
secretary of the interior. The Wis
consin senator has been the admins
tration lawyer in the senate. His
qualifications for the bench are ad-

Spooner likes the work of the senate.
He is aggressive and the supreme
bench would not suit his tastes, say
his senatorial colleagues.

MIA railroad, the Pullman company Is
now building the first all-steel sleeper
ever constructed. So-called steel
coaches have been built for the New
York subway but they have been only
partly of steel. The first all-steel car
to be built is said to be No. 1851.
The new car weighs 103,550 pounds,
against $4,000 for the standard wood
en- coach, but it is found that the add
ed weight greatly reduces the V1Dra-

passengers. No inconsiderable part or

cars are to be lighted by electricity

the New York tunnel. The electric
wires in the new cars are insulated
in heavy metal conduits, thus adding
to the safety.
The new car is noncollapsible. It's
hidden frame is like a catilever bridge
suspended on the trucks as piers.
This safety against telescoping is
secured by the use of enormous steel

The car of the future must be as safe

This statement was authorized by a

The future passenger equipment is

THANKSGIVING HYMN.

Lord Of the years! To Thee we bring
The tribute of our praise,
For happy memories of the past
And hopes for coming days.
Fair bend the sunny autumn skies;
And nature, freed from toll,
With smiling eyes and generous hands
Pours out her wine and oil.
She paints her autumn sunset clouds
With tints of gold and rose;
And lends the year her brightest flowers
To crown its peaceful close.
On busy mart and harvest-feld
There rests a Sabbath calm,
AS in Thy temple-courts we lift
Our glad Thanksgiving psalm.
To Thee, 0 Lord orr harvest hymn
With glowing hearts we raise;
With grateful memories of the past
And hope for future days!
