LONG TRIP ON LAUNCH.
Journey of Five Congressman From
Chicago to New Orleans.

Journey of Five Congressman From
Chicago to New Orleans.
Five Illinois congressman recently
sailed from the Columbia Yacht club at
Chicago for New Orleans, says the
Chicago Post The party left on Con-
gresham William Lorimer's gasoline
launch, equipped for months trip, in
the interest of the ship canal from Chi
cagO to the gulf. Speeches will be
made in all the towns visited along the
route, beginning with Joliet and ending
at New Orleans, from which point the
party will go to Washington. Notes
will be taken along the route to be used
In urging the shop canal project before
congress this winter. Besides Mr.. Lor-
inner there are in the party Congress
man Martin B. Madden, Joseph Graft,
Ell. T.. Rainey and Howard Snapp.
The launch, known as the Demisol at
the Columbia club, iatn command Of
William Lorimer, Jr., the eighteen-year-
old son Of the congressman. Leonard
Lorimer, younger son, is engineer and
charts available Of the Chicago river,
old Illinois canal and the other waters
between them and their destination.
That the partv will not have smooth
sailing all the way Is expected by all
the crew The first 'snag," as it were,
was struck before the boat got under
way. 1t was discovered that there was
nothing to eat aboard, and Mr.. Madden
said there was no public house in LIE"
mont where Wayfarers could obtain
food Then Mr.. Madden as commissary
of subsistence ordered that the vessel
put in at the Madison street bridge,
where a store Of ham sandwiches was
secured. These rations were expected
to hold out until Joliet was sighted.
Captain Lorimer had some difficulty
in slowing his party, but finally the lit
tie boat was ready to start. Congress
men Graft and Rainey, each of consid-
cradle adipose tissue, fitted snugly in
the stern, anu the remainder Of the pas
sengers and crew slowed themselves
forward, resting on suit cases, pack
ages and gasoline tanks.
1--WE will be in New Orleans in less
than month"; said Mr.. Madden. ''The
boat goes ten miles an hour, and if we
sail ten hours day that will be hun
hundred miles a day"
The Demisol is only twenty-six feet
long, and after the machinery has been
taken care of there was less than fifty
square feet of deckroom left. How
ever all hands expect TO spend every
night ashore in the towns visited. The
boat will be sold in New Orleans.

Iron River has much to look for
ward 60 in the way of business
activity in the year 1906. Never
has there been stronger feeling of
confidence in the future of the town

reason, or rather many reasons, to
justify the confidence.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
IS getting itself in position so that in
times Of drought it will always have
enough water on hand to meet all its
wants, says the Philadelphia Press
The dry weather of last year showed
that the old system of depending on
nearby streams and towns for water
for the locomotives will no longer
serve. AT one time nearly one-half of
5he motive power was laid up on ac-
count Of the corrosiOn of the boilers
by impure water. This happened at a
time when the business was the heavi-
est. 1t means loss of large sums of
money and was in measure RESPONSE

President Cassatt realized that more

become very low. The outlay for this

have been carried on upon common
locomotive of an old type.
The device is placed just in front of
the tender box, with which it connects
by means Of long feed pipe leading to
the furnace The cOntrivance consists
of a long corkscrew arrangement which
carries the pulveriZed coal from the bin
ITO the feed pipe into which the coal
falls and is waited by means of fan
through the pipe into the fire. The ma
chine takes up comparatively little
space and is easy to operate. 1t is run
by a small engine at present, but later
Bert Seabolt, the inventor, expects to
dispense with the engine, procuring his
steam from the locomotive itself.
If the device proves successful in the
anal tests saving of 80 per cent In
fuel alone will be achieved.

The Raleigh Times, referring to the
order for enforcement of the ordinance
of Wilmington requiring all gates
along the streets to be made to swing
inward, says that in Raleigh they have
both kinds-some swinging outward
and some inward-but an ordinance
requires all new gates to be of the
latter kind, while the old landmarks
are left unmolested. II says, speak
ing of the latter, those who use the
streets much ge! familiar with tn al
location and remember to avoid them.
even III the dark" Wilmington, you
see is looking out for 'tthe stranger

the two cities.

years and although convinced that the
habit was the cause of her increasing
nervousness, she was loath to give it
up.
Il became SO nervous she says,

just a Word for Mother.

Nobody earns his or her livelihood
more h~onorably or more directly than
the wife and mother of a family who
does her duty, She is her husbands
business partner in a phase of his life
which is at least as vital to his inter-
ests as the outside one by which he
makes his money under the eye of the
world. If the couple are partners in
a poor and struggling concern, the
wife contributes as much to the gen.
eral success by the work of her hands
as the mar does by his; if the yare are
more fortunate. and prosperous. the
woman's busy brain contriving and
ruling in the household is earning by
earnest, eager. expert and honorable
exertion as good a livelihood as the
husband is able to provide her with.
The law holds good in the realms of
wealth and luxury. The woman who
creates and maintains eminent social
position for her family is likely to be
her husbands most important ally, and
her share of all the benefits that they
enjoy in common is not a mere gratu-
ity. it does not come to her husbands
bounty: it is her compensation for the
services she does in advancing the in
terest of the alliance.-New York Sun.
