cassatt Kept His Horses.

A. J. Cassatt. president of the Penn
sylvania railroad. always liked a good
horse When he was vice president
and director Of the line he owned a
small string of racers, which he enter
ed as representatives of the Willow
brook" stable. At that time Mr.. Rob
erts was president, and as there was
a strong quaker influence in the board
Mr.. Cassatt was gently reminded that
he should resign from WillowbrooB
or from the road. He did both at once
and ere long it became evident that
he was taking up with the Reading
railroad. The Pennsylvania people
hastily requested him to resume rela
lions with them. Mr.. Cassatt placidly
assented, but thereafter his horses
were entered under his own name.

largely removed as far as the tech
meal limitations are concerned; but,
Notwithstanding the most recent de-
velopments, the electric roads still
are favored as a means of Transports
ton far more for short distance than
for long distance travel. And even for
short distance travel. the electric
service will appeal chiefly to certain
classes of patronage only. Many pas
sengers are always found who prefer
to travel by the steam trains. With
regard to the merchandise traffic, the
sphere Of the electric road has been
still more limited, and the amount of
freight carried by them, except in a
few isolated instances, has been iRsig-
nifcant Likewise with regard to 10
calities, the competition of interurban
roads has been specialized rather than
general, for the roads are at present
confined principally TO a comparative

older power in almost all important
particulars, but until that time comes
the competition of electric roads with
steam railways will be confined prin-
cipally to competition in special fea-
lures of transportation and to certain
localities, where particular conditions
bring the two systems into conflict.
This restriction of the competition
to special features and localities has
been and is the keynote of the situa-
ton with regard to any contest for
business between the electric and the
steam roads. The electric railway
equipment of the earlier days involved
certain technical limitations which
made the system unsuited for any but
comparatively short distance trans
portation. These features are now

ed by a glare along the rails behind

exhaust of the engine the flare from
her furnace lit up the sky. My engine
bounded forward under wide opeT

those in the rear sleepers was on.
''Notwithstandin' the weight of tht
train behind me, which should give
me a little advantage over the lgh
engine comm down the hill. we didnf
seem to be able to shake her off. An
each time I trusted myself to glance
back at her she seemed to be crawlin
up on us little.
IF could keep a few yards O

down the mountain n started up the
Razorback on the other side, coulC

electric railways have accomplished q
remarkable growth in the last decade
and they are firmly established to
day as a part of the transportation
system of this country. The new mo-
tive power has become a competitor
of steam, but not to the extent Of driv.
ing the latter from the field, as is oo.
casionally said. SO far as the eco
nomio aspects Of the competition are
concerned, the time seems not yet to
have come when the electric motor
can successfully supplant the steam
locomotive in all those forms of serv.
ice which have been developed and
standardized by the latter. From the
beginning certain fields of usefulness
have been particularly favorable to
the electric motive power. These
fields of adaptability, however. are
continually broadening, so that per
haps in a few years the electric mo-
tor may be a successful rival to the

Washington, Feb 28.-After listen
ing TO an argument by Patterson OF
Colorado in favor Of government own
ership of railroads the senate agreed
to the conference report on the river

for the Mississippi between Cairo and

peace foundation to which President
Roosevelt devoted the Nobel prize, was
passed, as was the expatriatiOn bill,
and fifty others OF no particular pub

Conference reports were agreed to
by the house on the river and harbor
bill, and the senate amendment to the
army bill was concurred in providing
for the retirement of certain brigadier
generals who served in the civil war
with the rank Of major general. The

HOWARD NEsBIT TO TESTIFY
Indications That Brother and Sister
Will Be in Contradiction.

Will Be in Contradiction.
DR.. Bingaman told of visiting Thaw
in the Tombs during August last,
when the prisoner seemed much de-
pressed and suffered from the delusion
that a conspiracy had been formed
against him, complaining that be was
not allowed to put paper over the graf
ing in his cell door because they"
wanted the cold air to blow in and
give him pneumonia, so he would die
and his case never come to trial.
By recalling Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw to the stand for q few questions
which he had omitted on his long
cross-examination Jerome indicated
that he would call Howard Nesbit, her
brother, to contradict her in a matter
OF credibility. He asked Mrs. Thaw
if she had not told her brother that
Thaw had treated her cruelty while
abroad because she refused to tell lies
about Stanford White and say he had
drugged and mistreated her. He also
wanted to know if the brother had not
| bought her a pistol with which she
might defend herself against Thaw.
The defendants wife denied absolute
" that there was any truth in any of
these statements, and said she had
never owned or carried 4 pistol in her
life.
Delmas announced that the defense
would conclude its case this week.
This, however, was upon the assump-
ton that the district attorney would
/ conclude his cross-examinations of DIR.
Evans and Wagner yesterday.
| Jerome did not even finish with
John I. Deemar, the physician
/ to Mrs. William Thaw's family.
4 will follow DR.. Evans. and then will

viii take the stand. according to pres
ent plans. The defense may, there
fore, conclude by Monday or Tuesday
Of next week. If Jerome moves for
a lunacy commission it is expected he
VIZ do SO during the taking OF the
rebuttal testimony next week.
It was expected that Dr.. Evans and
jerome would have a lively duel dur
ing the cross-examination Of the wit
ness. but there were only one or two
clashes in which the honors appeared
to be about evenly divided. The ex-
animation dragged at times and Jer-
ONE seldom raised his voice above the
low placid tone he so frequently as
sumes.
There were one or two occasions,
however. when the retorts were not
affectionate. Once Jerome asked:
AT what time did Thaw suffer from
insane melancholia e You tried TO get
me- to say it was melancholia," replied
Dr.. Evans. "but I said It was in a
melancholic state of mind" Jerome
utterly failed to pin the doctor down
to a positive statement that he could
later, with other experts, impeach.
While the doctor was giving 4
learned disqusition on different forms
of lunacy-"You are here with the
permission Of your directors l sup
pose?" broke in Jerome suddenly
Yes, one is here in this room, the
chairman of the medical committee
You have the permission in writ
ing?" "Why, ~ well, in the first place
I don't think it's any of your business.
