ADDITION
To Be Completed To c. A. &
1. Shops By May |
A New Boiler Room Is To
Be Built

A new building will be added to the
Mt. Vernon c., A. & G. shops in the
near future and is now in the course
of construction. Heretofore, there has
been some inconvenience owing to the
amount of room taken up by the old
boiler room which is located in the
large building and besides this, it was
inconvenient in a number of other
ways. AS a result, this new structure
Is being built and will be used as the
boiler room and will be occupied by
two large boilers instead of three
smaller ones such as are now being
used in the old room. These new
boilers will be one hundred and fifty
horse power each. AS soon as possi-
BILE, the space left vacant by the re-
moval of the old boilers will be clear
ed away and converted into tool
room, change which will afford a
great deal more convenience than the
present arrangement.
The new building spoken of will be
made of vitrified tile and will be sew
enty-seven feet square and will prob
ably be nearly completed by the first
of May. 1t will be constructed on
the space left vacant by the moving
Of the old building.

THE NATIONS SWEET TOOTH
(Boston Transcript

The country has grown accustomed
to international apple shows and corn
congresses and other explorations of
the products of the farm and the fac
tory, but Philadelphia proposes to set
the mouths of her citizens and the WIS.,
iting public watering with a candy ex-
hibition.
AS candy-making is one of her lead
ing industries, she is doubtless war
ranted in showing on a large scale
what she can do. She has 76 candy
manufa ctories under the government
system, the estimated value of the
output last year being $7,0OO,OOO.
Fifty years ago the candy of the
country was almost invariably hard
and coarse, and much of it unwhole-
some. Now the making of it has be-
come a fine art, and the wizard of
concoction and fiavoring has fortune
at his command. Pure candy in mod
crate quantities Is no longer regard
ed as menace to the healthy stom-
ach.
1t has been sent to American SOL
diers at Manila and to British SOL
diers in the Transvall, while we have
recent unconfirmed tradition that
the lure of the gumdrop will enlist
an Eskimo in almost any service. AS
candy takes it's place among the ar
ticles that go to make up high living,
we may assume that its consumption,
even per capita, is steadily on the in
crease.
To know just how much of it we
are eating at the present time we
must await the new census figures.
Not since 1905 have we had official
information to guide us, and subse-
quent developments must be largely
guesswork.

BIG sHiPYARD GOES
UNDER HAMMER

Chester, Pa. March 24.-The ship
yard of John Roach e Son, which for
many years was one Of the leading
shipbuilding firms of America, was
offered for sale at public auction here
today to settle the estate of John B.
Roach. At these yards were built the
cruiser Chicago, the Boston and the
Atlanta, as well as the gunboat Dol
phin, the pioneer steel vessels of the
new navy, and all four of which are
still afloat, nearly thirty years after
their launching. Two of them, the
Chicago and the Dolphin, are still in
commission.
At the time of the death of John
Raoch, the founder of the firm, two
thirds of the iron vessels in the coast
wise trade and several ships in the
China and Australian trade had been
built by him. The entire fleets of the
Savannah, the Ward, the Old Domin-
ion and Pacific Mail Company's had
been built at the Roach yards here.
When the four steel vessels were
built for the navy political influence
delayed their acceptance by the gov
ernment. This delay caused the fail
ure OF. the firm and led to the prema-
ture death of the senior member. For
time John B. Roach ran the yard
successfully. Afterward 1t passed In
to the hands of the Delaware River
Iron Shipbuilding and Engine works.
