The Deepwater Railroad.

The mystery OF the Deepwater rail
road, building through the two Vim
ginias, is no longer such The rumor
that this mysterious railroad was The
property of Heary II Rogers has
been verified The building Of This
great steel highway has attracted
little outside attention despite It's I'M
portance For instance, II Is not

building of the Deepwater & Tide
water Railroad which is being con-
s,ructed between the New River and
Pocahontas coal fields to Norfolk,

every month in this construction.

railroad thirty years, backed by the

backed by Henry H. Rogers. expects
to accomplish the fea; in three years
time.
1t is expected that the line will be
completed by December !. 1907. at n
cost Of s2O.OOO,OOO. or $4,000 per
mile, and the most remarkable thing
about the whole enterprise is the
fact that to date not a bond or GER

The building Of this railroad is
probably the most remarkable engin-
eerlng feat In railroad construction
since the building Of the tTHns-con-
tinental road across the Sierra Ne
vada Modntaihs. II is the first great
new trunk line constructed IN the
United States for many years. 1t is

That FARMING Special.

President Fellows of the University
Of Maine takes exceptions to the term
better farming special which many
newspapers have used in referring to
the train which the Orono institution is
to send over the lines of; the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad later in the spring
The term "better farming special was
applied by the promoters of the scheme
of the train through the rural sections
of Massachusetts. New Hampshire and
Vermont over the lines of the Boston
& Maine. but President Fellows points
out that the expression. however ii
might apply to the Boston & Maine
train, is not officially used in conncc-
ton with the one to be sent into
ArOostook. The purpose Of this train
Is educational, to he sure. and to serve
the people SO far as possible, but those
i'm charge of it in no sense wish to in
innate that they are superior or that
they will give the people of AroOstook
better farming methods than, they now
have. They do hope, however, that
the presence of the train, with its
numerous exhibits, its illustrations OF
latest and most improved farming
methods will be useful To the up-to-date
and prosperous farmers along the line
and the people of the state in general
no doubt be greatly appreciated by the
farmers of Aroostook.

Ministers and Actors in Jail.

A short time ago the Journal received
an inquiry from the Cleveland Leader
az 10 the number, if any. Of clergymen
and actors in the Maine State prison.
From such information as we had at
hand, We promptly replied that neither
the pulpit nor the stage is represented
in the state institution at the present
time. At the time, the object of the in
uuir, was mystery, but the mystery
ia solved now in a dispatch sent out
from Cleveland. A poll was made, 1t
appears of the state prisons in the
country as TO the matter of actors and
clergyinen in order to determine
whether Henry T.. DiXey would be
compelled to pay the $1,000 which he has
promised 10 give for charity, if IT were
proven that there We're more actors
than clergymen in prison.
Mr.. Dix-y was moved to make his
novel offer by Indignation at the action
Of the PitiSburG Y. NJ. G. A., in declin-
ing to receive an actor into its member
ship merely on the ground that he was
an actor The incident gave Mr. DiXey
an opportunity To defend warmly hi,
own Profession. and eulogize the help
ful influence of the stage and the good
lives led by vast majoritN"f stag
penp,c He declared that while there
are probably many more actors than
cl.-rgymen in the country. there are
more clcrgymen than actors in our
prisons. ana offered to give $1,000 to
case 70 settle the matter a canvass
was made by the Cleveland Leader
with the result that the various state
pcnitcrtiaries are now reported to hold
Al clcrgymen and 10 actors and one
actress. The returns from Florida are
not included as that state vaguely re-
ports that many colored preachers"
are in prison there. Texas heads the
list with nine clergymen and six actors

A Hospital Incident.

All honOr to those surgeons and
nurses of the Trull hospital in Bidde-
ford VITO carried through successfully
q critical operation while the building
was burning over their heads and
while umbrellas had to be held to pro-
tect the patient upon the operating
table from the water pouring through
from the floor above. Probably they
dill not think they We're doing anything
esnecially heroic and doubtless it would
have been done by physicians and
nurses in any other similar institution.
but the incident is worthy of dwelling
upon for a moment as showing the
nurses are in the main composed of.
and as timely illustration of their
spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion to
duty under all circumstances. The
operation once undertaken had to be
completed or the woman's life would
d. forfeited. ana so. with great care
and tenderness, the unconscious wo-
man was removed from the operating
room on the top floor when the fire
broke out there, and taken to ward
room on the lower floor where the
operation was continued
The building was burning over their
heads. 4 score of other patients Were
being removed to places of safety out
side: the fire companies of two cities
were working desperately to save the
every hand; people We're hurrying here
and there i'm an effort to save what
could be saved. and there was smoke
and water, noise and confusion all
around them, but those two steel
nerved surgeons and the attending
nurses coully continued their operation,
nesiectingi no detail which should be
done to make it a success and save the
lifciof the patient. Frequently. We
are told. lrot water was called for by
the operating surgeons. and the nurses
had to go to the kitchen for it and had
to wade above their ankles in the ice
cold water which was coming down
from the floors above. They were
drenched to the skin, their own per-
sonal effects in their rooms upstairs
We're being destroyed by fire. but not
one of them left their post of duty and
probably not one had any thought of
doing so. All honor, we say. to such
girls as these. They may not get a
