Hin Asks Cash Assistance.


James ]. Hill held a conference here
with officers of the Chase National

BIG INCREASE IN DEATHS.
More Road Passengers and Employees
Are Killed in 1905 Than in
Previous Year.

Springfield, Ill.-During 1905 there
was a great increase in casualties to
passengers carried by the railroads
Of Illinois, according to the annual re-
port of the state board of railroad
and warehouse commissioners.
During 1905 &c passengers were
killed on Illinois railroads, an in
crease of Al over 1904, while 297 EN-.
ployes were killed. Seven hundred
and seven passengers were injured, az
compared with 245 in 1904, and 3,27o
employees were injured. The total
mileage Of steam railroads in the
state is 1855 miles, not including
AIS miles Of Industrial tracks. In
crease in main lines during 1905 is
107 miles.
A rule adopted by the commission
some time ago to prevent interurban
tracks from crossing steam roads at
grade is given in the report, and the
board says that many applications for
grade crossings have been refused.
The board advocates a block system
on all railroads. The number Of per-
sons employed on Illinois railroads in
1905 was 115,447, an increase of 9,617
over 1904.
The commission appeals for closing
frogs for the protection Of trainmen.
The total mileage of electric roads,
both surface and elevated, is 1852
miles, an increase during the year Of
176 miles, and these roads carried
162,549,535 passengers.

BEFORE RAILROAD DAYS.
The First Train Is Not So Old al
Youngsters Sometimes
Think.

Did you 60 to the st. Louis fair? II
you did, and you failed to see the rail-
road exhibit you missed wonderfully
interesting part of 1.-The show" You
missed seeing what may be called the
evolution or development of that won
derful invention, the railroad engine.
writes J. L. Harbour in ST. Nicholas.
The trouble is that the boys and girls
of to-day are so accustomed to the
railroad that they think little of all
that it represents. Some Of them may
be like little girl l happen to know
who once said:
why, papa, didn't we always have
railroads?"
Just ask your. grandparents about
that. 1 have an idea that some of
them will tell you that they were mon
and women long before they ever saw
railroad engine. A man but As years
old told me the other day that he
walked ten miles with some other
boys when he was ten years old to see
railroad train.
1t has not been so very many years
since the most intelligent men and
women laughed and even jeered at the
mere idea Of people riding at the rate
of Is or 20 miles an hour. When
George Stephenson first began to talk
about inventing an engine to be run
On lines of wooden or iron track, the
people looked upon him as a dreamer.
visionary who might not be quite
fright in his head"
But this George Stephenson, of Wy
lam, near Newcastle, in England, was
not to be put down by sneers nor jeers,
and he had the audacity to declare
that he could invent an engine that
would run at the terrific rate Of Is
miles an hour, whereupon one of the
most noted periodicals Of the day said
that he ought to be put in strait
jacket"
Stephenson went to work and built
a queer looking little railroad engine
called the Rocket" In 1929, and that
was the beginning of one Of the most
useful and wonderful things in the
world-the modern railway system.

MILLIONAIRE TOILER
NEW JERSEY SILK WEAVER
FALLS HEIR TO $1,ooo,o 900.
Working at Eight Dollars Per Week
as Foreman in Plant When Joy-
full News Arrives from Ire
land-Plans Celebration,

New York.-The happiest silk weav-
er that ever wove silk is Robert
Hughes, of Garfield, N. j., who has re-
ceived word that he has fallen heir to
S1,0O0,00O.
Hughes is 4S years old and has never
known anything but the hardest kind
of toll. He came to America from Ire
land when he was boy, and as he
grew up he learned the silk weaver's
trade. Day after day he toiled, with
but few pleasures and no prospect. so
far as he could see, of ever bettering
his condition.
Like all men of his trade, he was
peculiarly the slave of his business.
for when work fell slack he dared not
take employment at rough-and-ready
jobs; for hard work never fails to
make ones fingers stiff ano rough, and
it is absolutely necessary for silk
weavers to keep their fingers soft.
By virtue of intelligence and indus
try Hughes was promoted to be- a
foreman. His pay was So week. He
managed to keep his head above water
and bought little house. Day after
day he went to the mill and there
toiied all day long, spinning fineries
for the adornment of the rica. Seem
ingly this was to be his fate until the
end of the last chapter.
But he received formidable look
ing letter written in clerklY hand on
legal paper. The writer's, firm of
solicitors of Belfast, Ireland, begged
to inform Robert Hughes, Esquire, of
the town of Garfield, state OF New Jer
sey," that he was one of the three
heirs of John Hughes, Esquire, leav-
ing fortune Of 100000 equivalent to
100000
Mr.. Hughes directed in his will that
his estate be divided equally among
the children of his deceased brothers,
two of whom are living in Ireland, the
third being Robert Hughes, of Garfield
The silk weaver was dazed. His
wife, modest little woman, was dazed,
too. They had both heard Of bunko-
letter writers, and they feared there
might be some trick. So Robert took
the letter to City Attorney A. D. Sulli-
van. of Passaic, who said that the let
ter seemed genuine and he would take
care Of Roberts interests.
Robert finished his daily stint of
weaving, went home and ate joysome
supper with his wife, and then went
out to make festal evening for many
worthy friends. that they might re-
joice with him.
Don't think I'm excited, now" he
said, flor I am not I am only happy
to hear the good news. Do you blame
me?
II tell you never expected such a
thing as this. was only a boy when
l left Ireland. We heard very little
from the relatives at home, though
father always said Uncle John was rich.
| never saw Uncle John nor heard
from him until the letter came telling
me Pm rich man. Phew! No more
hard work, glory to God! I've worked
hard all my life and l intend to take
It easy now.
And will go to Ireland to live?
l will not. The United States was
good enough to give me a living and
its going to be god enough for me to
spend my money in"

The --LATEST Man,

1.-THE LATEST man I ever saw" said
a travelling man to group of fellow
drummers at Chestnut street cafe,
recently, was not tramp nor a cop,
but a station agent in little one
horse village in Idaho.
after I had finished what little
business I could do In the town,
went down to the railroad station to
buy a ticket for my next stop. The
lazy stationmaster sat on a broken
down Office chair. his feet on the desk
and a pipe in his mouth, unlit. When
I asked for the ticket he slowly
reached up to the rack. drew it out,
handed 1t to me and took my money
without bestowing a glance upon me
or moving from his chair.
""That's the LATEST thing 1 ever
saw 1 said to him. If you can do
anything lazier than that, I'll give you
this dollar Without the slightest
curiosity or even interest the loafer
drawled: Put it in my pocket and
I did."-Philadelphia Record.

JUST AS EASY AND MUCH MORE FUN.

There all sorts of ways of having fun and enjoy
ing oneself but they most all belong of two kinds the
kind where you have fun by making other people
feel bad, and the kind where you have fun in making
others feel happy.
We all know the first kind of fun Some gets off
"a good joke" on another plays trick says
thing bright either false that makes the people laugh
at him or hurt him in other way College students
sometimes of their members duck him in the
river do something else hurt him. and enjoy it very
much. Other people let cattle into their neghbos fields
let their chickens scratch up their neghbos gardens
plague others way another by practical Jokes"
and for time, it great fun. Babies pull their mothers
hair hit them with stick and then laugh with delight
So this natural way have fun by giving others
pain But do people have the most fun this way?
Some of know of people who have their fun in the
other way. They say nice things about others and
cheer them up when they meet them. They surprise
them with little pleasures of sort another
And whenever they have done something which makes
one else happier it makes them feel better It's great
fun making other people haPpyl Some of these people
have tried both ways of having fun the way that hurts
Others and the way that helps others and they say the
last way is just as easy as the first and much
more fun. Have you ever tried how much fun you
could get out of life by just being kindp

SAN DOMINICAN TREATY
Has Been Submitted to a COMMITTEES
For Examination.

San Domingo. Republic Of Santo
Domingo. April S.-The new treaty
between the United States and Santo
Domingo. intended to replace the
Dominican treaty, which has been
pending before the United States
senate for two years, has been re
ferred TO a committee for examination
and report.
The new treaty differs from the
original treaty in its simplicity, par
ticularly IN the matter of substituting
bonds TO be delivered to the inter
national creditors Of Santo Domingo
instead of requiring them TO await the
payment OF small installments of their
money from the Dominican customs
receipts. The total bond issue is
considerably less than s20,000,000, a
reduction OF about one-half from the
original claims. The bonds will run
for fifty years, but It is provided that
at the expiration Of ten years they
may be redeemed at 102k.
