Sprague's electric railway, however,
was about twenty years wide, and it
was filled with numerous attempts to
help the eager passengers to hurry.
The first cable road was laid in San
Francisco in 1873 by Andrew S. Halli-
die, Henry Root, Asa f. Hoevy and
William Eppelsheimer. The originator
Of the idea, however, was E. S. Car
diner, of Philadelphia, who suggested
the plan some time prior to the actual
building
The cable served its useful purpose
for eighteen years, when it was electri-
ned by the motor car promoters that
is, electric conductor rails were strung
in the cable conduit and the wire rome
hauled out. The dynamo had been per-
fected and electricity was a CONNER
c1al motive power; therefore, the cleo
trio street railway Of 1888 was a sue
cess. Before that attempts had been
made to operate street cars by various
KINDS OF magnetic engines. In 1885
Thomas Davenport, a blacksmith, built
railway in Springfield, Mass, over
which he operated a car driven by an
electric magnet motor, and twelve
years later Prof. Moses Farmer brought
out another electromagnetic motor, but
they never passed beyond the expert
mental stage.
The real beginning of the American
electric street railway system was the
Union Passenger Railway of Richmond,
Va, equipped by Lieut.. Sprague and
opened for service on the first day Of
February, 1888. 1t was ''troller' line

officials soon saw the danger of over.

precautions led to the underground sys-

horses made trips over this railway,
carrying passengers. The car was a
big stage coach, or rather three stage
coaches in one, for there were three
compartments, each of which resem-
bled a small stage coach. and 1t had
the name John Mason" painted above
the center door
About twenty years later the Sixth
avenue street railway was built and
the street car craze began. 1t really
amounted to a craze, for thirty street
car companies began business during
the next five years. During the ten
years from 1850 to 1870 eighty-fve
street railways were built. The census
twenty years later showed 769 street
railways in operation. In two years
this number increased to 9S7.
The street railway was a success,
therefore it was the object Of various
attempts at Improvement, for in Amer
lea, whatever is a success must be i'm

than the one poor horse could pull the
car. ana SO MANY were odLlSAeu ~ 80

pulled would not hold them all. They

One is justified in putting the same
test to every demand of religious duty.
1t is certainly non-religious act to
go on doing things in the church or
in the name of religion without any
thought Of their purpose or value; it
may be an irreligious act. Many a
person is stunning his religious deyel-
opment by doing acts of religion with
out the religious motive.

Of forcing him into involuntary COM
pliance with your sense of religious
duty, to fairly face his question and
discover if there is any value, any use.
any sufficient service in this which
you urge him to do?
We have no moral right to go
through any mechanical round OF per
formances blindly making these mo-
lions, performing these rites mumbling
these words, simply because our faith
ers in the flesh did these things, or
our fathers in the faith command US
to do them. There is nothing Of faith
in unthinking routines, even in the
name of religion
Certainly here no clear or worthy
answer can come from the test of
commercial standards. We must see
life all the way around before we may
know whether the high path pays. Is
the whole world the richer for the life
that pays the great price for living?
Is the gain to the individual in strength
and beauty of life worth the cost?
Surely we know that all this life Of
things depends on the dynamic of the
world of thought, that only life in
spired by noble ideals can do even the
least piece of work in a worthy man
ner. 1t is the pursuit of some ideal
that gives proficiency in every calling !;
it is the pursuit of the ideal life that
gives power in the art of living.
1t is easy to see how it pays to dig
bitches, or to sell goods. Are we so
blind that we cannot see both the Joy

for the supreme aims, the life that
gladly loses the shadow for the sub

ing out the painful side of life, but It
is living for life itself rather than for
its tools or it's meals, that no price
you can pay is too great for the prize

all the ministers appointed before the
constitution was proclaimed and substi

sympathy with the new order of things

80 years of age. He. however, ranks
high i'll the diplomatic corps and is a
man of culture and learning. Before
coming to Washington he occupied an
important position of the foreign office.
