There are ut tho present time eight
plants in the United States equipped
for building steel cars and cars with
steel underframes. These plants turned
out nearly $4,000 cars in 1905, or about
40 per cent OF the entire output, and Of
these n, 600 cars more than 60 per &C mt
were built entirely OF steel, Assuming
the steel bodies alone to weigh ton tone
each, this wonId indicate the cOnsump-
ton OF 10000 tons Of plates and
structural shapes. Tho Cars built with
steel undorframes would increase this
total to more thnn G0c,000 tons. The
shortage in iinished steel products has
helped to delay delivery Of cars Of this
construction.
1t is only seven years ago that the
first all-stccl cara were built. Tho total
number OF these cars in service now
is close 90 10000 or about IL per cent Of

the flesh had all decayed from the face
except in few places.
Those who have seen the ghastly relic

that the body was thrown into the cave

The writer of a theatrical COM
ment usually follows the dictates of
the arrangements of the playhouse
as to which member of the troupe
shall have the more prominent
mention, but last evening a report
er of The Press who attended the
performance at the Washington
failed to ask Mr.. Cordray which
particular feature he considered the
star, and, owing to the unusual ex-
cellence of the entire bill, has been
unable to decide for himself. The
Gillett sisters do an original turn
that keeps the audience in a con-
tinual laugh. The musical number
of Luce and Luce is very clever.
Mr.. Luce is an artist as an imitator.
Dawson and Whitfield have one Of
the best talking acts ever present
ed, and If there is a dull minute
with them it must be after they
leave the stage. They are jolly
good fellows.
The trio of Gilroy, Haynes and
Montgomery sing very we'll togeth-
err in a little skit entitled "The
Good Ship Nancy Lee" Their
choruses are excellent, but as indi-
viduals their voices are not quite
the best. When the Haviland trio
was upon the stage there were mo-
ments that the writer thought the
act little long-drawn, yet the
feats are so daring and so grace
fully executed that each seems bet
ter than the preceding one. Walter
Wilson sings well with the illustrat-
ed songs.
