LOCOMOTIVES IN AUSTRIA.
Scotchman Was Pioneer Builder In the
City of Vienna.

From the Washington Herald
The leading spirit In the early develop
ment of the Vienna locomotive works
was John Haswell, a Scotchman, born
In 1872. Haswell received a fine technical
training in Glasgow university and saw
much practiced service in both Scotland
and England. In 1888 Haswell undertook
the establishment of the locomotive works
In Vienna and his energy and spirit of
Initiative soon stamped him as the pio-
neer of locomotive building In Austria.
The technical knowledge and rich in
struction which Haswel had brought
with him were potent forces, and soon
the influence of his construction and &c :
signs of new locomotive types were felt
throughout and beyond the borders of
Austria.
In 1889 the greater part of the establish
ment was made ready, and the energy of
Haswell was further seen by the large
amount of tool equipment turned out
From the first Haswell undertook to
build passenger coaches mounted on eight
wheels, after the American principle In
the short space of one and half years
Haswell was enabled to create great
industry, and this industry had scarcely
peer in all Austria.
Many of Haswells ideas as to con-
struction methods have remained through
the years which have interviewed and are
almost unchanged, for the ideas were
for the most part, ahead of the spirit of
the times. After the lapse of years one
can go back. 1t Is declared, to these same
inventions of Haswell, and they appear
even now as new and epoch-making

Pyrenees that jumps six times, first loud

Plenty of sleep plays a big part in the
training of most of our successful ath-
letes today. Sleep has more to do with
the showing of men than anything else,
and when one comes to consider 1t he can
easily see why. There is no strict and
iron-clad rule governing what they shall
eat but as for sleep-well, get all you can,
then little bit more. Jumpers partic-
ularly profit by long slumbers. The night
before Prinstein, once the greatest jumper
In the world, was to compete in the jump
ing contests of the Olympic games at
Athens he went to bed at O'Clock. Mike
Sweeney, the great high jumper, stays
in bed sometimes for three days before
going on the track, and has his meals
served to him Don't laugh, that's true
OF course Mike doesn't sleep all that
time and keeps his legs moving about
so they won't get stiff, but he gives his
muscles a long rest. Ralph Rose. the
big Californian shot-putter, sleeps during
the afternoon. Ralph got into the habit
of taking a siesta when living among the
Napa foothills and never got over It, John
Flanagan never gets up till noon on the
day of an athletic meet In which he is
to take part Mel Sheppard sometimes
takes a 15-hour nap and thinks nothing
of it. Martin Sheridan slept IL hours be-
fore doing his 47-fOot hop-slSip- and-tump
Dan Ahearn is another jumper who be-
lieves In getting all the sleep possible.
Whatever hardship may be connected

which, as usual, declared for a campaign
of 1854 games In 1870 Ban Johnson, pres
ident OF the American league, is framing
his campaign In such q way as to begin
and conclude the playing season on the
same dates as the opposition.
1t is imperative that the two major
league champions meet annually to decide
the baseball supremacy Of the world, and
Johnson Is not going to put his league at
a disadvantage by closing the season be-
fore the wind-up In the National league.
BY stringing the schedule along for an
extra 10 days or so he VIII have his rivals

league will be able to rid herself Of oum-

Uncle Sans Employees.

The governments employ list is growing
by leaps and bounds. The grand total Of
all federal employees at present Is 370,065,
as against 3O61H in 1907 an increase in
the two years Of about $1,000 persons,
or about 20 per cent. There were 2S.947
persons in the federal employ In Wash

roll for them is s31,54l.225. an average Of
nearly 81 LOO each. This total will be
temporarily swollen next year by the ad-
dition Of about 5000 persons to the cler-
ical force Of the census bureau, adding
nearly 100000 in salaries during the
year or more of their employment.

Within two months active preparations
for another Southern league will be on.
Since last year there have been changes.
Little Rock has been dropped and Chat
tanooga taken aboard. This change
means much for the league from a mon
etary consideration. 1t means an actual
saving in railroad fare of considerable
amount to every club in the league.
President Kavanaugh. with headouar-
tiers in Little Rock still has charge of
the executive department of the league.
This is we'll.
The salary limit has been increased.
Heretofore it has been $500 per month
and 16 men. Now it is 5000 and IA men.
This IS well, too.
There will be a change in the divisions
of the league.
There might hereafter be southern
and northern instead of an eastern ana
western division. Memphis, Nashville,
Chattanooga and Atlanta would be in the
northern half, while Birmingham, Mont
gomery. Mobile and New Orleans would
occupy the southern
Or in case the divisions are styled east
ern and western, as heretofore, Memphis,
New Orleans Montgomery and Mobile
would probably be the members of the
western half. Or Birmingham might get
in that division with Montgomery in the
eastern.
This matter will receive the attention of
the league directors at their Atlanta meet
ing in February. The only objection Bir-
mingham might enter on being placed in
another division is that the league, as
heretofore, will doubtless finish the sea-
son in the east. Birmingham has grown
accustomed to the final struggles of the
season, and should there be a change,
will probably take unkindly to the idea
No actual work has been started on
new grandstand in Birmingham.
AS is remembered toward the end of
the season the management announced
through The AgeHerald its intention
to abandon the old barn used for so many
years as a grandstand.
Occasionally a rumor is heard, but moth
ing yet has been accomplished. The fans
are a trihe skeptieal.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad has laid its tracks between the
outside ticket office and the grandstand,
but unfortunately has failed to touch the
park However, there is danger of ac-
cident, and a possibility that oftentimes
string of cars will prevent people from
entering.
1t is barely possible that work will be
begun soon. 1t will hardly be possible to
finish a grandstand by the beginning of
the season, but it is possible that entrance
could be effected a short while after the
beginning of the season.
We have never claimed distinction in the
matter of making predictions, but it Is
