taking into consideration the high i'm

The steel frame work is encased in

In fact, the perfection of the steel

hotel must keep up with the standard

How the center of New York's hotel

the fact that within radius of l 900
feet of the Knickerbocker there are
sixteen theatres and twenty-one clubs.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer. has
this TO say of Charley Crapewin and
his company who will appear here
soon at the Gennett Theatre:
Musical comedians are all the
rage and many of the best as we'll
as some of the worst in the business
have appeared in Cleveland during
the past season. There seems the
same fault with all of them from a
critical standpoint and that was that
they were all built along the same
lines and when one had seen one of
them he feels that he has seen all.
Not so. There is a musical comedy
at the Lycoln Theatre this week. THE
Awakening of Mr.. Pipp," that is in a
class of itself. 1t is clever and we'll
produced and even If the company
were poor which it is not, and the
play badly constructed, the comedy
would be decided novelty. for 1t is
like no other ever seen in this city"

RAIL ROAD FINDS ECONOMY
in BEAUTIFYING ROADBED
Improvements That Make Lines Safer and More
Comes Back in Reduced Cost of Maintenance

the western slope of the mountain,
and the other about fifty miles east
of Pittsburg, at Hillside.
The Pennsylvania requires a ditch,
ten and a half feet wide, on each side
of a four-track road, and the bottom
of the ditch must be three and half
feet below the level of the top of the
tie. That means that there must be
"a decided slope from the lowest part
of the roadbed TO the ditch, SO that
water rickIing through the ballast
will flow off rapidly.
Oil to Keep Down Dust and Weeds.
The ditch itself is of ordinary soil,
but the company has tried an expert
ment, in some places, of sprinkling
it with oil to keep down both weeds
and dust Whatever method is adopt
ed, the important object is to keep
the ditch clean and unobstructed. 1t
has been found that the grass banks
fill the bill admirably. When it rains
the water pours down over them with
out bringing anything with it, and
follows the ditch to the nearest out
let.
The cost of the improvement of ev-
en- the fifteen miles has been enor-
nous. Seventy-three thousand cubic
yards of new ballast were used in that
short distance. This ballast was not
to make the track more steady-the
supply already there was sufficient
for that-but to make the drainage
perfect. The cost of sodding with
blue grass was even greater item.
1t was calculated by the engineers
that so per cent. of the entire cost
was for cutting down and sodding the
slopes.
The money will all come back,
though, in saving of maintenance eX-
penses. At present worE-trains, crowd
ed with laborers, have to be on the
move all the time, for clearing bitches
and putting in new ballast where it
is necessary. In addition to the great
cost of labor, the interference with
traffic is a most important consider
alton in this constant Overhaullng.
The work-trains have to use the main
running tracks and invariably get in
the way of and retard both passenger
and freight trains.

IRISHMEN UNITE TO MAKE
THE EXHIBITION A SUCCESS
Promoters Avoid Contention and With Ample Funds Are
Making Rapid Progress.

Dublin, Nov 17.-Great enthusiasm
has been aroused in Ireland by the
support which is being given to the
International Exhibition of 1907. Not
only are Irishmen of all classes united
to make it a success, but foreign
countries are also sending exhibits
to help in celebrating the great in
dustrial revival which the exposition
represents. Speaking of the progress
of the undertaking. Mr. James Shanks,
the Chief Executive Officer, says:
THE exhibition is supported by
manufacturers. merchants and traders
all over the country. 1t has a sound
financial basis, with a guarantee fund
of 100000, signed by nearly 1000 sub
scribers, and on that security the
Bank of Ireland has agreed to advance
funds amply sufficient for the purpos-
es of the exhibition. No previous ex-
hibition in Ireland has had so much
money behind it, and nothing of equal
extent was ever projected in this
country. Nearly IS per cent of the
guarantee fund has been subscribed
in Ireland, over so per cent OF the
entire space area available has been
applied for by Irish manufacturers and
merchants. and several of the exhibit
ton buildings are already practically
completed.
When SO many prominent Irish
manufacturers and merchants of all
creeds and politics have shown their
willingness to undertake this arduous
public service, and when they have
acted throughout on the mandate i'm
posed upon them by the great meeting
at which the exhibition was launched.

Mother Mary Feresa and the Cross Of
the Legion of Honor. 5ss
\ Some years ago in city In France
all the soldiers were drawn up on the
plaza. A woman In the habit Of char.
ity was called out in front Of the gov
ernor general, and this is what he said:
Mother Mary Teresa, when you
were twenty years Of age you received
q wound from cannon ball while as
sisting one Of the wounded on the
field at Balaklava. In 1859 the shell
from mitrailleuse laid you PROSTATE
In the front ranks on the battlefield of
Magenta. Since then you have been in
Syria, in China and in Mexico, and If
you were not wounded 1t was not be-
cause you have not exposed yourself.
I'm 1870 you were taken up in Refs
choffen covered with many saber
wounds. Such deeds Of heroism you
crowned few weeks ago with one Of
the most heroic actions which history
records. A grenade fell~upon the am
bulance which was under your charge.
You took up the grenade in your arms;
you smiled upon the wounded who
looked at you with feelings Of dismay;
you carried it distance Of eighty me-
tiers. On laying it down you noticed
that it was going to burst. You threw
yourself on the ground; it burst. You
were seen covered with blood, but
when persons came to your assistance
you rose up smiling, as Is your wont.
You were scarcely recovered from your
wound when you returned to the hos
pital whence I have now summoned
you"
Then the general made her kneel
down and, drawing his sword, touched
her lightly with it three times on the
shoulder and pinned the cross of the
Legion of Honor on her habit, saying:
II put upon you the cross Of the
brave in the name Of the French people
and army. No one has gained it by
more deeds of heroism nor by life so
completely spent in self abnegation for
the benefit Of your brothers and the
service Of your country. Soldiers, pre-.

The troops saluted, the drums and
'bugles rang out, the air was filed with
loud acclamations, and all was jubila.
