Locomotive Peculiarities.

London IfI-BlIS.
 It is perfectly well known to ex- perienced practical engineers that if a dozen different locomotive engines were made at the same time, of the same power for the same purpose, of like materials, in the same factory, each of these locomotive engines would come out with its own peculiar whtms and ways, only ascertainable by experience. .,N
 One engine will take a great meal of coal and water at once: another will not hear of such a thing, but will in sist on being coaxed by spadefuls and buck etfuls One is disposed to start of when required at the top of his speed: another must have a little time to warm to his work and get well into it.
 These peculiarities are so accurately mastered by skillful drivers that only particular men can persuade particular engines to do their best. It would seem as if some of these excellent monsters" declared, on being brought o,,t of the shed: "If it's Smith who is to drive me, 1, won't go; if it's my frfend Stokes, I am agreeable to any thing"
 All locomotive engines are low spirited in damp and foggy weather. They have a great satisfaction in their work when the air Is crisp and frosty. At such a time they are very cheerful and brisk but they strongly object 10 haze and Scotch mists. These are points of character on which they are all united. It is in their peculiarities and varieties of character that they are most remarkable.

p.nama Canal to Cost Half Billion.

Portland (Me.) Daily Eastern ArBus.
 The utility and importance of the Panama Canal enterprise are not to be gauged from the business standpoint alone. As a smerely business enter prise, the probability is that 1t will not only involve an outlay far in excess of the Government estimates. but that It's operation will show a large yearly loss. In an address before the Yale Political Science Club on The Pan, anna Canal as a Business Venture" George L. Fox of New Haven presents as the conclusion Of his investigations of the subject the belief that the structure will cost at least half a billion dollars. and perhaps in excess of that figure. He believes the annual Income from tolls. on the dollar ton basis which has been commonly sug- gested. may fall as low as $4O0,o00. while the annual cost of maintenance will be between two and three mil lions Its beneficial effects in lowering freight rates, he arGues. will accrue to the advantage of foreigners, and not greatly to our own people. In hort, he argues with Samuel Hill of Seattle-xa son-in-law of James J. Hill that tAe building of the Panama Ca nal is hhe monumental folly of the age" and chiefly because it will cost @a extraVaRantlY-

er's wife, who was Evelyn Nesbit,
artist model and chorus girl, began
the recital of her life story to the
jury 1t was only by way OF repe-
tition OF the story she told Thaw at
the time she had refused to marry
him that Mr.. Delmas of Thaw's
counsel was able to get her testi-
mony in evidence, so as to indicate
that it had bearing on Thaw men,
tai condition. AS the testimony de-
veloped, however, it became rather
direct recital of the events of her en-
tire lie.
The story began with the dinner
in the Cafe Martin on the night OF
the shooting. From there it jumped
back to her marriage in Pittsburg in
1905, and from that to the time in
Paris when Thaw first asked her to
marry him. This brought out the
reason for her refusal, and then the
story OF how Stanford White had
brought about her downfall.
NEW YORK. February Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, the Wife of the man charged with
the m,Irder of Stanford White took the
witness stand today in defense OF her hus-
band and told the story of her relations
with Stanford White, the famous architect,
who was killed by Harry Thaw.
The story was a simple narrative told in
a girhsh way and in its midst the young
woman broke down and cried and could
proceed only with difficulty.
Her husband sat brave-faced for a while:
then he. too. burst into tears and buried
his face in a handkerchief. He sat thus for
some time. When he again looked up his
eyes were red from weeping.
The girl told the story to the twelve men
in the jury box. she declared, just as she
had related the incident to Harry Thaw one
night in Paris late in 1903 when he had
asked her TO become his wife, and she had

show, and it was while there she met White.
Mrs. Thaw was on the stand two hours,
and her direct examination had not been
concluded when the luncheon adjournment
was taken. AS she walked from the witness
chair along the passageway back of the
jury box she felt along the wall with the
finger tips of her left hand, as if about
to faint. From scarlet her face had paled
to the whiteness of a sheet. Except when
she broke down when going into the details
of her experience with Stanford White the
girl spoke in a clear, soft voice. On the
witness stand she appeared for the first
time in court unveiled, and her beauty was
remarked on all sides. 1t Is Of girish
type, a mass of black hair framing face
of daintily nodded features. She was ac-
compa MED to court today by Mrs. George
Carnegie, the defendants sister, and May

Accounting for Ammunition.

Accounting for Ammunition.
Former Corporal Albert H., Roland OF
Company d was called to the stand. He
was questioned at length by Senator For
aker concerning the care that is taken to
account for all ammunition. He testified
to the strictness of rules concerning the
use of ammunition and said he knew of no
place in Brownsville In which ammunition
could be purchased. In reply to questions
in various forms he said he did not do any
of the shooting, knew nothing about who
did it and had no knowledge IN any man
ner of who the guilty men were.
He said he was employed by the commit
tee CT one hundred in New York to collect
money to defend colcred men and d d not
know whether this committee was the
same as the Constitutional League. He did
not know in exactly what cases they were
to be defended. When he asked for money
he presented a letter signed by the officers
of the committee. but did not have that
letter with him.
Corporal Roland said he had been in the
army ten years and seven months.
he heard Capt. Lyon say when the men
got back from patrollnG the town that
all the men are here. He had heard
officers make announcement that all the
men were present on other occasions, al
though he did not know that it was GUS
tomary for officer to do SO when the
men were called out. Wien the roll was
called i'll the morning he heard Capt.
Lyon say that ali men We're present or
accounted for.
Describing the inspection of the guns
by capt. Lyon on the mornlng of Inc 18th,
he said four or five men whose guns ap-
peared in worst condition were told to
step out of line, and later the captain
gave an additional inspection to such
guns 1t was only those guns that had
the rod with piece of cloth run through
the barrel in order to see IL they were
perfectly clean. He said he heard Capt.
Lyon repeat to Maj Penrose that all of
his men had their ammunition
By Senator Warner: You heard him
say that?"
YES, sir: say All the men have their

Before the witness was allowed to go
Senator Blackburn said he wanted the
witness to submit the letter he had from
the committee of 100 authorizing him to
collect funds for defense He said he
could get the letter, which he had left in
New York.
The witness testified that when the
roll call was made in the morning the
men were standing along the stone wall,
and that the sergeant had come out with

Mrs. 'Thaw's beauty was generally COM

effect. Her long, dark lashes and heavy
eyebrows were noticeable now for the first

SCHOOL TEACHERS, FIGHT.

An interesting fight is being made
by the women school teachers of New
York to have the city place them on
the same salary footing as the male
teachers. Their claims having been
rejected by the board of education,
the teachers have carried their fight
10 the legislature and are using all
possible influence TO secure favorable
action on their bill which now Is pend
ing.
The marlborough Association of
Women Teachers, with 1000 members.
is making the fight for the bill, and
advances the claim of "equal pay for
equal work, The board of education
is fighting the proposition bitterly on
the ground that It's enactment would
cost the city fully s6,0OO.oOO year
over present figures. The members
of the board also declared that the
work of the women teachers, in most
cases, could not be classed as equal
to the work of the men because mon
engaging in the profession of teaching
take up the work for life, whereas
the women In most cases take it UP
merely to cover period of time un-
till they become married and leave
their occupation.
The expenditure of the city for the
general school fund of educational
budget already amounts to more than
St8.OO0,0OO year, and it is figured
that 1t would reach the total of $780,
100000 If the salaries of the 10000
women teachers were placed on the
SAME basis as the salaries of the O.
600 men teachers.

and unless the bill is changed the
work on the Massachusetts will have
to be suspended on July /. 1t may
not be too late to get Congress to
authorize the work on the Massachu-
sets. but there Is an equal amount of
work necessary on the other vessels,
which need general overhauling and
underwriting, such as was accomplish.
ed on the Indiana ut New York q short
time ago.
1t will be out of the question to an
ticipate work when Congress is in
session for the succeeding fiscal year.
OF course. this may be done in some
cases, but under the most favorable
conditions 1t is bound to limit the
work Mt the navy yards to
minor repair jobs. Anything ex-
tensive will have TO be held up
until formal recommendation is
made to Congress and approval oh
tanned from that quarter for doins
the work. The engineer in chief and
the chief constructor resisted the pro.
vision and made repeated recommen-
dations against 1t, not only in the

tees, but in the form of written pro-
tests, which went through the Secre
tary of the Navy with the Endorsement
of the department. Careful explana-
tons were made to show the effect Of
the limitation, and, despite this. the
