PROMINENT PLACE.

In engineering the electro magnet is taking a very prominent place. This device dispenses with hooks, slings, and other lifting appar- atus. By throwing switch controlling the current the magnet is energized and thereby attaches itself to the bars, castings, scrap or pig iron which it is desired to lift. The magnet poles are shaped according to the nature of the material to be raised. For heavy rails they'are oblong and are slung from the crane hook by short chain Castings weighing over two tons are success fully handled by electro-magnets. An other use to which the electro-magnet is put is in breaking old castings so that they may be melted and utilized To accomplish this the magnet is made to lift and drop a steel ball weighing from one to six tons.

THE WEST AND THE EAST.
A Kansas Newspaber Tells How Con-
 ditions Have Changed.

tA EAuISdS NtWSpdpCr 1tiAS -IiOW OOu@
 ditions Have Changed.
 , It is true, that eastern money--for the consideration of bonus in bonds or government lands-fnanced many western railroadsH ' It is also true that western grit, and muscle, and brain, and untold hardships and suffering are largely responsible for western prosperity Eastern capital would not have accomplished much had net western people given their lives to developing this western country! And now that prosperity has come the West believes the hardships it's people endured are entitled to due rewards just as much as is eastern capital. Moreover, eastern capital that was wisely invested in the West has been getting pretty good returnss and the recent railroad reports do not show any falling off in dividends, notwith- standing the fear expressed by such persons as the financial writer of the New York Sun. Passenger earnings are keeping up well, even under two cent fare, Whether there will be any falling off because of reductions in the freight rates has not yet been proved.
 It is undoubtedly true that things will be balanced in time. Some east ern railroad magnates are asserting that no more railroads can be built if the people of the West are going to insist on such strictt regulation. They say 1t. destroys confidence" But the railroads will be built in due time just the same. The West cannot ex- pect eastern people to build its rail- roads unles the East can make more money by so doing than in other lines of investment. If the East can get better returns by investing it's capital elsewhere, the West has no right to ask it to build railroads out here. The West will want to build it's own rail roads not many years hence. It has been only three or four years since western municipal bonds were sent East for buyers. Now they are all gobbled up right here In the same way, railway stocks and bonds will l oVOlA nV t~hVl by WSoLCllL Sbllleiis AnS time will come when It will be a priv ilege to build railroads through these rich western regions.
 In fact, A. E. Stillwell is right now building great railway system with western money. He won't have any Wall street money in 1t. When the Orient railroad is completed from Kansas City to the western coast oi Mexico it wild have been financed chiefly by the people of the middle West and those along it's line. And Wall street, by the way, vii not bt able to gamble with it.
 Financial and commercial condi' tions in this nation are changing more than most people-and particularly those of the East-realize.-T -Topeks State-Journal.

Van Biere, the widow of an enormously wealthy brewer. The girls are at a 1 convent school in Liege and manage to | meet and flirt with their lovers. One of these meetings is interrupted by the appearance of Frau Van Biere on the scene, and she promptly proceeds to put ah end to their lovemaking, saying her nieces shall never marry paupers. Max, who has discovered bottle, said to contain lifegiving elixir, says his discovery will make him famous and all of them rich. Frau Van Biere scoffs at this and says when he can give life to the statue in the city square she will believe him. She and her nieces re- enter the convent. Max prepares to put the elixir to the test and Ariella, a cousin ofNMephisto appears. She prom ises to aid him to give life to the statue and disappears. Frau Van Blee and her nieces re-enter on their way to Bruges. Max publicly ieo'a. es he will give life to the statue. The widow says if he succeeds, bring the living statue to Bruges before noon the next day, and he and his friends shall marry her nieees, She says this because she has fallen in love with the sraue.
 Max is left alone with thu statue and Ariella again appears. She says that the statue shall live, ba. that, as it was modelled in snow, it wiA become as cold as the artis winter. Wherever Lit tie Snowdrop goes he win c5ngeal the atmosphere and snow will fall He will regard Max as his papa and never leave him until Max grallias his first wish.

AusrR1As PRESSING PRoB1EMs
Dual Monarchy Sorely Beset Whethel
 Emperor Dies or Lives.

Whether the life of Francis Joseph is to be prolonged or not, the whole question of the relations of the com ponent parts of the Dual Monarchy to each other will shortly have to be re- considered. In dealing with the Aus trian problem as whole, an answer must first be found to the question whether 1t would not be advisable to abolish entirely the Parliament in
 Vienna. By the advocates of home rule for the Czechs the foundations of the Parliament are declared to be artificial
 and it is said to be now thoroughly dis
 credited. They argue that 1t might with advantages be superseded by an im- perial council, comparatively small in numbers, composed of delegates select cd by the local Parliaments This, it is
 held, would strengthen the unity of the empire if at the same time the various countries in Cis-Leithania were grant ed more extensive autonomy than they at present enjoy. Those who hold to a policy of effective decentralization maintain that local liberties, unknown in any other European country, might be safely granted in Austria. It Is urged, with some obvious plausibility, that if the relations between the dom inions of the House of Hapsburg were so altered as to content the Slav pop ulation the result would be that Aus trla would become one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, country on the continent of Europe. Those who hold this view insist that she would then command the sympa-
 thies of great portions of the Slav race beyond her borders, and that the vari- ety of her social conditions would en- able her statesmen to approach the
 economic problems which in the next 30 years will press for solution all
 over Europe, with an independence and
 detachment of mind not likely to be found in other countries. Be this as 1t
 may, 1t is evident that some very mo-
 mentous issues depend on the policy
 which is to guide the statesmanship
 of Vienna, whether Francis Joseph be
 spared to act the part of reconciler | which he has so successfully filled, or
 whether his work is to devolve on a
 less capable successor Journal of l Commerce. -

 State Director Esmelton has made elaborate preparations for the staging of the play and a most elaborate pro- duction will be the result. Superb costumes, absolutely historically cor rect, have been secured for the pro- duction, and it will be one of the best staged plays ever seen in this oity at popular prices.

TWO WAYs TO CHANGE.

How Connecticut May Solve Problem With 8 Rhode Island Counterpart.
 The problem how to procure a re- form in our system of representation while the small towns control legisla- tion, even although great majority of the voters of the State desire q return to representation according to population, is taken up again by the Bridgeport Farmer, which put the case about this way; Admitting that if the question of giving fair representa- tion in the legislature was proposed it would be adopted by an overwhelm- ing vote, an dassuming that any pro- posai for such reform would con soldate the rural towns against it, what can be done? It's answer is:
 This, which some day will be done. Dropping temporarily all political questions that now divide them the disfranchised Republicans and Demo- crats of our manufacturing centers will unite for the recovery of their rights now denied. Upon that supreme

 Under the conditions named this may be the only answer, but 1t is at least possible that the increasing consciousness of the deplorahle in justice of the present system may be- fore long compel change of attitude in the small towns themselves. Ev- cry selfish interest in these towns will oppose the change but good citizen- ship will be for 1t. and if sufficiently aroused can have it's way and compel a constitutional amendment in the orr dinary course. If that is possible it is the better way, but those who feel this certainly regard that solution with hope rather than expectancy. Yet 1t is worth waiting for if ever there shall be reasonable assurance of success. And as a stimulus to thought of the present situation we add by way of reminder the familiar fact that majority of the people of Connecti- cut now elect twenty-five representa- lives while the minority elect 2SS

GOOD Rur RELATED.

It looks as if at last the responsibili- ty for those damning cocktails had been finally removed from MT. Fair banks shoulders. The persons who have been conducting the unloading process might have saved themselves several dieappointments and much needless trouble by little foresight. If they had stopped to consider the very obvious fact that in the present state of the public mind, with the South literally running dry and new prohibition voters springing up on ev- cry hand, no politician can afford to father such 8 debauching meal, they would have immediately turned to oth- CT walks for scapegoat as they now have. An of1lcious unmarried lady, a friend of Mrs. Fairbanks, has been found willing to assume all responsi- bility. she slipped in surreptitiously, as woenn will, so the story goes, to have a last look at the table, and saw nothing to drink and no preparations in the shpe of glasses. Knowing that the e-President kept nothing but buttermilk in his cellar, she was great ly exercised to find no provision for those guests who might not care for the latter beverage. So she immediate ly dispatched an automobile for com plete set of cocktails. MT. Fairbanks was as much surprised and far more mortified than anybody else when he marched into the diningroom to find himself surrounded by the faint but penetrating aroma of A Manhattans, {" and saw one of these delectable things standing brazenly in front of each plate. His natural chivalry prevented him from at once telling the truth, continue the unloaders, and it has now leaked out purely by accident, This is a very good explanation, but much be- Ilated.-New York Globe

O'NEIL AT TIE HYPERION.
TO OPEN WITH "VIRGINIUS"
'The Girls of Holland" Next Week-"The Three of Us"
 Again Twice To- day.

Lovers of the higher drama are keenly interested this season in the great revival of James Sheridan Knowles dramatic masterpiece "Vir- ginius" by James O'Neill. Practically the play has of late years sunk into oblivion and has never had notaple or worthy interpretation since the days of Messrs. Forrest, Macready and Mccullough. There has been an oc- casional feeble attempt at "VirginiusD but the same has met with miser- able failure.
 "Virginius' can be quoted in the same category as Shakespeare" and as famous tragedian once said that unless the classic drama is properly staged an dacted by true masters of histrionic, art, Shakespeare spelled ruin"
 All these embellishments added to the thespian's art have been put for ward to the pinnacle of perfection that will aid James O'Neills production of "Virginius" in being a notable and memorable performance of Sheridan Knowles famous classic, and MT. O'Neill feels assured and believes that there are many, many admirers of dramatic art who will grasp the op- portunity of upholding its true tradi- tions, thereby rewarding his venture in remunerative as we'll as an appre- ciative manner
 The present production was first given September 16 at the Lyric thea ter, New York, and continued for five weeks to enormous houses. The press as a unit were eloquent m their praise of MT. ONeill, his company and the entire production

A FINE EXAMPLE.

Edmund Clarence Stedman, who re- gently celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday, is fine example of the grad uate from journalism into the realms of higher literature. He began news paper work as editor of the Norwich (Conn.) Tribune, and left, there to join the staff of the New York Tribune. He served during the war as correspend-i ent for the World, and at It's close en- tered the field of business. His first book, Poems, Lyrics and Idyllic, was published in 1860.
