Electricity suBpIant. steam.

hAectElclNy supplantA steam.
The opening Of the new electric road on
the Rochester division of the Erie railroad
recently marked another achievement OF
American ingenuity in electrical railway
service. For the first time reports the
New York Times, a steam railway is using
single-phase alternating motor for NOV
ing trains, with power from Niagara falls,
seventy miles away.
The new system has been installed on
the main line OF the Erie between Rochester
and Avon. and on a branch running from
Avon to Mt Morris. It covers thirty-four
miles Of single track and is intended for
passenger service only.
Until the trolley cars were put into oper-
alton the equipment was largely in the
nature OF an experiment The preliminary
test justified the confidence of the engi-
neers. and this promise has been borne out
BY the operation of the road since It was
opened to the public several weeks ago.
Indeed the departure is considered so sue
cessful that plans are under way to extend
the trolley system to other divisions of the
Erie lines
The system has been developed in the
last three years by the Westinghouse in
taresta It's novelty IL found in the use
Of the alternating current instead OF the
direct current that has been generally en-
ployed by steam railroads. This change
has been made possible by the single-phase
motor. It Is an adaptation OF the older
contrivance used on street cars.
Although the single-phase motor is not
unlike the direct current motor in its opera
tion, there Is an important difference In
the use of the alternating current 1t Is
unnecessary to supply a direct current on
any part Of the electric line Therefore
there Is no need for the rotary converter
substations. which have heretofore been
installed at intervals along the electric
lines
The substation at Avon Is nineteen miles
from Rochester and fifteen miles from
Mt Morris. or about midway between the
terminals Of the new road. The power is
drawn from the lines of the Niagara Lock-
port g. Ontario Power company running to
the new station of the Ontario Power COM
pany at Niagara falls
In the substation building are three TO
kilowatt transformers Of the oil-insulated,
water-cooled type, which transform the
eo,0OO-vOlt three-phase current from Mag
ara to an 1l.000-volt single-phase current
This is fed directly to the trolley wires Of
the Erie railroad. The overhead construc-
ton IL Of the so-called "catenary" type,
the trolley wire being suspended from a
messenger cable at intervals OF ten feet
the whole being supported on poles with
brackets. The support given by the mes
senger cable is a precaution required by
the high electric tension, the relative large
power supplied to the cars. the high speed
at which they are run and the necessity
for absolute certainty of contact The
transformers on the cars receive the power
at LOO volts and lower ii to a point be-
tween 10 and 800 volts. the average being
80 volts.

other actual service of the soldier as per
haps any other living American. BY the
army he is generally regarded as one Of
the most accomplished and scholarly SOL
diers in the world. He will not retire under
the age limit until 1909. 1t is recalled that
when "Tecumseh" Sherman held the highest
rank in the army, as is now the case with
General Macarthur, he refused to live in
Washington because he did not like the
system of the War department and made
his residence in st. Louis.

ParRen's Entrance Into Politics.

Justice Mccarthy says that as a youth
Charles Stewart Parnell had not the slight
est scrap Of interest in politics. Without a
drop Of Irish blood in his veins, he was re-
ceiving the orthodox tuition OF an English
youth In England. While he was at Cam
bridge the Fenian movement broke out in
Ireland. His mother was then in his an
cestral home at Avondsle, in the county Of
Wicklow. She was supposed to have some
sympathy with the movement and to have
sheltered Fenians IN the house. Avondale

The Corean way

Prince Youngchin of Corea is now old
enough to be married and must soon take
to himself a wife. He does not have any
thing to say about who he shall wed, for
a commission of six elders chooses the girl
for him. She is sent to the palace and told
to marry him and that is all either of them
have TO say about the matter. 1t is not so
different from the way European royalty
is mated, either.

Mourning for a BriEand.

Corsicans are mourning the death Of the
brigand chief Bellacoscia, Of whom they
are almost as proud as OF Napoleon. His
real name was Antonio Boneln. In conse-
quence Of a vendetta he and his brother,
Jacob, were compelled sixty years ago to
seek safety in the mountains. For forty
eight years they terrorized the country,
going from province to province, and all
efforts Of the government TO capture them
were unavailing. In 1892, aged and broken
down. Bellacoscia voluntarily delivered him
self into the hands Of justice. SO great was
the national admiration OF his bold ex-
ploits that the court Of Ajaccio acquitted
him. but the police expelled him and he

endure his exile more than a few months
and secretly returned to end his days in the

Great Grandson of John Hancock.
A member Of the engineering force Of the
new city water works at Greeley, Colo,
is the great grandson Of the famous John
Hancock, who played such an important
part in the early history Of this country,
was the first signer of the Declaration of
Independence and the first governor of
Massachusetts The head of the fourth
generation is also named John Hancock
and bears a striking resemblance TO the
portraits of his illustrious ancestor. His
father was Ozro Hancock, a Massachusetts
manufacturer, and his grandfather, Heze-
kiah Hancock, fought in the revolutionary
war.
This John Hancock was born in Boston,
is a graduate of the Institute Of Technology
and he and his young son are the last Of
this branch of the family. Many relics, in
Guiding letters written when governor Of
Massachusetts to his wife, were in his
possession until recently, when they were
turned over to the state house collection In
Boston. John Hancock Of Greeley is IS
years old.
MARK H'Wutm'G Acquaintance
We had recently arrived in Berlin and
had begun housekeeping in a furnished
apartment, relates Mark Twain in his
Autobiography One morning at breakfast
a vast card arrived-an invitation. To be
precise it was a command from the en-
peror of Germany to come to dinner. Dur
ing several months l had encountered
socially, on the continent, men bearing
lofty titles; and all this while Jean was
becoming more and more impressed and
awed, and subdued by these imposing
events, for she had not been abroad be-
fore, and they were new to her-wonders
out of dreamland turned into realities
The imperial card was passed from hand
to hand. around the table, and examined
with interest; when II reached Jean she
exhibited excitement and emotion, but for
a time was quite speechless then she
said:

EckIes and the Bible.

James H. Bckles, who died suddenly Of
heart disease at his home In Chicago few
days ago, was one of the most devoutly
religious men OF large affairs in the coun-
try. He scrupulously avoided ostentatious
display of his genuine piety, reports the
Washington Herald. and only his most in
innate friends knew of his deep re-
ligious convictions. Among them was
Grover Cleveland, who while governor Of
New York, discearned this trait in Mr..
Eckles' character when the latter was a
student of the Albany law school. Mr..
Eckles was not psalm singer or leader
of prayer meetings, etc. Seldom was his
name publicly conneeted with church mat
tiers Of religious movements, but It Is re-
called by persons in Washington who knew
him we'll when he lived here as comptroller
Of the currency in the last Cleveland ad-
ministration, that he gave more literally of
his income to the cause of religion than any
man of their acquaintance. 1t was his
custom to read one or more chapters of the
Bible every night before retiring, 1t made
no difference how late the hour and on his
outing trips he invariably carried, tucked
away in his baggage, a copy Of the sacred
book. 1t is related that while always the
jolliest member OF every outing party, Mr..
Eckles never failed to read the Bible in
camp under a sputtering light every night
as long as the trip lasted. He and Mr..
Cleveland. the latter the son of a minister,
used to have long discussions of the Bible
whenever Mr.. Eckles called at the White
House at night for a private chat with the
president.

should never be discouraged, even in the
face of apparently insurmountable diff

If John B. Bundren, like some men that
we can nearly all point out, had become
disheartened in the early days Of his
courtship and given up Miss Rose-if he
had as other lovers have left her with a
look of cold disdain in his face; II he had
written her letter telling her that she
could never be even a sister to him-the
chances are that the courtship would never
have terminated as happily as It has.

USELESS street car wheels Is
M the newest thing promised the
car-suTering world. through the
fncorpors ton at Detroit Of the
49, Noiseless Wheel company, with
q capitalization Of 100000. The fact that
the average street car in passing through
a street makes enough noise to arouse the
dead has made their presence one OF the
banes Of city life. To overcome the jar
and hammering Of the monster cars Of
modern times as their wheels strike the
slightest joint or lmpediment to their pro-
gress over the rails has been one OF the
dreams Of engineers and the people at
large
An inventor brought out the scheme Of
making a car wheel in two parts. one
is to be the center or hub Of iron, and the
other a steel rim. to be bolted to the hub.
His noise killer is placed between the two
parts and consists Of merely a layer Of
felt or cardboard or some deadening in
huence that receives the jar and noise be-
fore it reaches the axle OF the car.
Experiments have been made with this
invention, and it is claimed that it's ef-
hciency is astonishing traction men. on
suburban lines, where most of the tests
have been made, the Improvement has been

The wheel Possesses economies also in
that fiat wheel can be cured with less
expense by merely placing a new tie on

short order. Other features Of the wheel
are attractive also to traction men.
The possibility OF the growth Of steel
street cars is making the new wheel more
desirable because II Is likely that the steel
car would be subject to greater vibratory
weakness than the wooden car. and by the
use of the nolseless wheel all OF that
difficulty can be overcome. The matter

Franklin Pierce way back in the hfties
Mr. Webster, says the Washington Herald,
had studied law under the great New
Hampshire democrat, and when General
Pierce was called to the presidency he
brought the young lawyer along to Wash
inston as his private secretary. Stuyvesant
Fishs father, Hamilton Fish, afterward
Grants secretary OF state, was then
senator from New York, and a few years
after. when Mr.. Webster had opened a law
ONCE in New York, where he has ever
since resided, he married Hamilton Fish's
eldest daughter. Curiously enough, he was
the mentor for both his brother-in-law
stuyvesant Fish, and E. H. Hartman, and
was directly instrumental in making them
members Of the board of directors of the
Illinois Central railroad, from the presi-
dency OF which Mr.. Hartman recently
ousted Mr. Fish. Although still a stanch
democrat of the old school, Mr.. Webster
has taken no active part in politics for
many years. He is descended directly from
the stock that produced the great Daniel.
