~ John Hopkins university, In an
article In the current number
v-suUu of the Popular Science Monthly,
EHTX9RN contends that the electric en-
G&143&W CINE maintains it's drawing
power better than a steam locomotive after
the train once gains Roadway. He says:
"A typical western freight locomotive,
weighing with its tender 165 tons, can
develop continuously a drawbar pull OF
5000 pounds up to a speed OF fifteen miles
an hour. An electric engine. weighing 100
tons, can develop this pull up to thirty
seven miles an hour" and as the latter
does not pound the track so badly as the
other II may be driven at high speed with
greater safety. Fast Freight is now a
relative term. II electricity can give it a
new meaning, equal to a gain OF the diff
ference between fifteen and thirty-seven.
II cannot be Installed any too soon.
II has generally been assumed tina the
substitute OF electricity for steam on the
existing railroads would be practically
limited to passenger business, but with the
street car lines eager to be permitted to
carry freight by electric power the day
should not be wholly remote when the
lesson which they teach will be adopted by
the existing railroads. One great lncon-
venience in the combined system near New
York City today comes in the effect of the
smoke OF the freight locomotives in coat
ing with an oily substance the overhead
wires on which the passenger trains depend,
This would all be avoided by putting the
entire service under electricity.

Gossip About Noted People

In 1901 Mr.. Nanderlp became a Vice-presl-
dent Of the bank. and on concluding, a few
months ago, to retire from active service
and become chairman of the board. Mr..
stillman selected Mr.. Vanderlip as his sue
cessor for the presidency. So this is how
the young machinist, who was born at Au-
rora, Ill. only forty-four years ago, had
risen to the presidency of the largest bank
in the United States.
when Roosevelt Failed.
An Arkansas man relates that when
President Roosevelt was in the southwest
on one Of his bear hunting trips it was
found that the dogs which had become
sick on the train going down, would not
hunt. The president and the members or
his party were greatly put put and a
search for good bear dogs was inauguar-
ated. After the party had suffered a good
deal of disbursement a native OF the
country brought in word that a negro who
lived at the edge OF a nearby clearing had
some fine bear dogs, but 1t was said that
there was no possibility OF -persuading him
to loan them 10 anybody.
He will lend them to me-" said the
president in his we'll known decisive man
ner, and. mounting his horse, he started
for the clearing.
II understand" said Mr.. Roosevelt when
he was met by the old colored man in front
OF his cabin, you nave some fine bear dogs
"Yassir, yo' is shore right. Dem dawgs

LincOIn's GettysburE speech.
The usual stories about Lincoln's Gettys.
burg speech we're told in some OF the
papers on the morning OF his anniversary,
most OF them centering about the clrcum-
stance that few OF the newspapers on the
morning after published any report OF
Lincoln's address. though It was only 200
or 800 hundred words in length aud although
they gave full reports OF Edward Everett's
two hours address. The late John Russell
Young, says a writer I'm the New York
Press, once explained this 70 me, and his
explanation is worth repeating. IL only be-
cause he was the representative OF what
is now the Associated Press. and who re-
ported the meeting. Mr.. Young said that
he made a shorthand report OF the speech.
but hesitated to put It on the wire be-
cause the tolls to Washington IN those
days were such as to give pause to a then
feeble Institution like the Associated Press.
Moreover, none OF the presidents auditors
appeared To appreciate the value Of his ut
teFanee; II was SO short and. as delivered
In, his high key-yoice, so unimpressiye
after the big bow-wow Of Mr.. Everett. The
latters speech was printed IN full. partly
because the printed proofs OF the speech
were In the Newspaper offices In advance
and required no Transmission BY wire.

Katherine Armstrong.

After q lingering illness, Mrs. Katba-
rine Armstrong passed away at Der
home near Jasper, Wednesday morning
Nov 3 at seven o'clock. Her maiden
name was Katharine KILLER, she was
born in Fulton, Mo. July 81, 1880, was
married to Irwin Hockadsy Armstrong,
October 30, 1858, emigratiug the same
year with her husband to southern
Texas, where they lived until in the fall
OF 1869 they returned to Missouri locat-
ing one mile north of the present town
of Jasper. Two years later they bought
the tract Of land then in the midst Of q
pathless prairie and unhewn forest,
which became the home that sheltered
them until death, located in south Bar
ton county three and one half miles cast
OF their first location. Mrs. Armstrong
was the mother OF six children, three
sons and three daughters, five of whom
we're present at her bedside in the dy-
ing hour, one little daughter having
died in infancy. She was a beautiful
character, bearing with patience, and
fortitude the intense suffering with
which she was afflicted for months.
Only few hours before her death, she
sang "Rejoice and be glad, the Redeem
or has come" Her last words were 81
am coming / am coming, God, to see
my little baby" She had many friends
to welcome her home, but when God
said "Come" it seemed that her mind
reverted from her children here to the
little one who forty-one years ago was
laid to rest beneath a dropping live oak
tree, in little cemetery of the sunny
southland. She was given all that low
iug friends and medical aid could do,
until the last, and after funeral SER
vice at her home conducted by Rev.
Deakins of the Baptist church of Jasper
which was both appropriate and impress.
sive, she was laid to rest, Thursday
afternoon, Nov. 4, in the Mitchell ceme-
terry, to await the morning of the Res
surrection. Her husband died March
6, 1902.
