alike that one result of the November
balloting has been to eliminate Hearst

seems now in a way to be more OF

The fusion that his Independence

by Tammany. but the Independence
League judicial ticket polled 100000

against the Republican and Democratic

There is to be a steady increase in
the use of gasoline engines for COM

In the West gasoline tractor engines
are coming into rapid use in the desert
region, where they show much superior
ity to horses and mules. Many of the
great mining centers are now reached
by lines of gasoline cars, and the
freight is hauled by tractor engines
drawing a train of wagons. Inventors
and manufacturers find this field very
attractive and profitable one, and are
developing it much faster than that Of
fered by the cities.
Rather unaccountably, the merchants
are not using either steam or gasoline
for their freight or delivery wagons to
the extent that is done in Europe. The
English are developing a great use for
steam and gasoline traction engines and
freight carriers, which they call lor-
ries, a good name that we should
adopt. 1t would seem that the depart

say that the frost has done very little
damage in this country. While some
of the late sown wheat. oats and barley
Were nipped, it has not hurt, as the
price of 1t (the frosted) is more than
the farmers received last year for No.

mense crop of Nos. 1. 2 and 3 grade
wheat, which will give them nearly dou-
BILE the money they got for their crop
last year and fully as great a yield.

TAXIsIETER CARS.
The Hor-e Cab In American Cities to BE
Supplnnted by Gasoline Cabs.

On tho 1st of last month there was
introduced into New York the taxi
meter cab. which has proved such a
success in Paris and London within
the last two or three years. These cabs
are destined to take the place Of the
ordinary vehicles which ply the street
for hire. They are made of steel, but
upholstered in the best way to resem-
BILE the ordinary cabs or landaufets. and
are superior to them in the comfort,
convenience apd other features of their
construction. They are driven by gaso-
line engines of from 10 to 16-horse-
power. The greatest feature about
them Is that they will carry passengers
much cheaper than ordinary horse
cabs. The tariff established for the New
York cabs fsr 80 cents for the first half
mile or fraction. and each quarter of a
mile. thereafter four cents; for each
four minutes Of waiting, 10 cents for a
single passenger. For three. four or
five paSsengers 80 cents Is the charge
for the, first. one-third of mile. with
six cents for zach sixth of a mile there
after aid 10 cents for each four min
utes ofiwaitfng. The taximeter. which
gives the nafue to the BIS, Is register
ing instrument which keeps tab on the
work dbrie by the vehicle. AS soon as
the passenger enters the cab the driver
turns down a"small metal flag bearing
the word vacant" and the journey is
registered by IN ordinary cyclometer on
the shaft, while dials register the time.
These figures are visible to the passen-
ger as we'll as the driver, and inform
him as to what his trip is costing him.
They also make the report to the oper-
ating company, which pays the driver
regular wages. When the passenger
leaves the vehicle he pays the amount
which the figures on the indicator make
,,f 70 I>o fn floa 10 rif
which Is conspicuously posted inside
the cab. So far the enterprise has
proved a great success and the first
lot of 30 landaulets is to be increased

the rate Of Is per month.

ment stores and other large retailers

to the substitution of gasoline, steam or
electric power for the numbers of de-
livery wagons which they employ to
send goods to their customers. They

ly than the lighter and more convenient

Our Army has number of horseless

cal supplies, and maintained an average

which is four and three-fourths miles
above the greatest hight ever before

the hight of nine miles the temperature

favor 1t is found that the increased
cost and trouble of maintenance which
was feared have not been realized, and.
on the other hand, there are many ad-
vantages in the way Of diminished vi
bration and steadier application Of
power. The six-cylinder engines have
proved this is decidedly superior to the
four-cylindcr engines for hill climbing
and other emergencies. The more
popular forms have three and four
speed gears with the third speed for
ordinary running and the fourth for
sprints. A filled tire with a compost
