San Clemente during the summer and
caught a 6O-pound yellowtail on nine
ounce tackle. That was a wonderful
fish and a really notable performance.
1t is looked upon, however, by the an
glers of the magic isle as of less credit
than Mr.. Warren's 45-pound on six
ounce rod with a siX-stran dime.

The engine Is then steamed up ana
taken for a long run on the main line.
If during this test there are no capers
cut. the engine is sent out for its first
trip with about 500 tons to draw. Ii
it runs all right the weight is grad
ually increased to $50 tons. The ton
mage depends greatly upon the size Of
the engine. The average engine of to-
day will draw about $50 tons on n
mountainous road and from 1000 to
1900 tons over a level haul The test
speed is from one to twenty miles an
hour.
Heating is one OF the principal dis
eases of an engine, and it is this fea-
ture the engineer looks to more than
anything else. The mechanical sense
of the engineer is so developed that he
can detect the least defect about his

surprising, but when we are taken up

temple and told that this OverpOwering
city beneath us is no older than many
OF the people in the streets we have
no answer. The truth is too wonder
full to believe
And this is not yet the whole truth.
In seventy years these Spartans at the
foot OF Lake Michigan have built their
city not once, but twice. First they
built It on a swamp-a vast waste OF
slush and sink holes Nature had for
gotten to put a crust on the earth at
this spot, so the ChicagOans made one
ten feet thick. For a generation the
city grew. Then came the great fire.
and $4,000 buildings went down. There
was no ChicagO-nothing but an ash
heap. The Spartans were dismayed,
but only for a moment. They dashed
the tears and cinders ont OF their eyes
and began to build a second city be-
fore the ruins had ceased to burn
No failure is final-that Is the Chi

compelled It to run south into the Mis-

the lake trespassed on Lincoln park,
they drove it back with a marvellous
sea wall of masonry and marble. Moth
ing that either man or nature can do
apparently can check the growth OF
this city that has spread back from
the lake like a prairie fire until now its
great bulk covers nearly 200 square
miles Of Illinois.
Chicago stands as probably the fourth
city in the world in population. She
has doubled her people in fifteen years.
But she is the first city in the world
in many things-in enterprise, in
growth. IN energy and in her indOmita-
bic optimism and self confidence. No
where else is there such human volt

harness of commerce or pulls as much

Though the explosion tore of his right

caused frightful bodily injuries. he

the sight of one eye may be restored.
Seven men, arrested after the bomb
explosion, were arraigned in court OF

The foreigners we're held in $4,000 bail
each for further examination, while
the American was held without bail.
They are charged with taking part in
a riot.
A meeting of the unemployed, with.

Having cleared the park OF all but
few apparently harmless men who &C.

themselves with keeping the paraders

shouts of derisiOn and oaths directed
at the police filled the air and then. as
though by Encouragement, the strains

Captain Reilly's squad. which had
been stationed at the east side OF the
square. started at a double-quick pace,
two abreast. across the park.
As they neared the fountain that
marks the center of the recreation
grounds a slightly built man darted
out from the shadow cast by the Me

ran towards the officers. whose backs
were now turned to their pursuer.
A large man kept at the others
heels. Within twenty PAGES of the NOV

smaller raised a hand, in which was
clasped a smoking bomb.
Even as he drew back his arm to
throw the weapon it exploded. The

NEW LOCOMOTIVES.
Testing Their Capers and Breaking
Them In For Work.

Testing Their Capers and Breaking
Them In For Work.
Few PERSONS outside the realm Of the
operating department of a railroad
know anything of the ofttimes vexa-
tious peculiarities and not infrequently
seemingly intelligent capers of loco.
motive when being broke" to its mis-.
sion in the world. Each new engine
must undergo a set training or test
before it is put into actual service. and
each locomotive which has gone
through the shops for repairs is given
a certain working out before it is re-
turned to its erstwhile duties.
Some locomotive manufacturing com.
panies complete their engines ready
for actual service before sending them
out; others ship them to the destica-
tion in a partial "knOckdown" stare,
and they are completed in the shops
OF the road to which they are deliv-
cred.
When a new engine is taken into a
shop it is turned over to mechanic
whose duty it is to fit it up and make
all connections and adjustments Of the
interior mechanism. This completed.
the engine is turned over to a fireman,
who steams it up and blows 1t off In
order to remove any grease that might
have accumulated in the boiler or any
such foreign substance as might cause
a boiler to foam" while in service.
The engine is then turned over to an
engineer. whose duty it is to break"
it in. The engine Is steamed up again,
and if it will run is taken for a little
tryOut about the yard.
The science of locomotive building
has been developed to such fine point
that there is little danger now Of an
engine "bucking" on its first trial. The
main feature in the test is to see that
there is no heating in the journals or
rod brasses. If there is no heating, the
engine is run about the yards for
about half a day, and the steam is
again blown from the boiler.

Unemployed Attack Italians.

Altoona, Pa, MARCH 31.-When some
forty Italian laborefs started to work
on a street paving contract between
200 and 300 Americans and negroes
who had expected to be hired attacked
the foreigners and precipitated a free
fight. The police were called out and
the incipient riot quelled. The con-
tractors made terms by promising to
employ Americans when additional

tors Of Pedagogy, Dr. Charles H Park
hurst, IN the course Of an address. de-
manded equal pay for men and women
teachers when they do the Same work.
The speaker condemned haggling over
the salaries Of women teachers and pay
ing them $500 when they should have
500 because they can be had for the
lesser amount. and became caustic over
our trying to make the performance
respectable by an appeal TO the same
law OF supply and demand that de-

and beef.

value as the result Of careful and pro

such system has been tried. In his
opinion it is a great mistake to keep
