President Fitzgerald Talks
Of W N. Program.
SfO,OOO,OOO Spent.

President ]. M. Fitzgerald of the West
ern Maryland Railway says that he ex'
poets the Western Maryland to be in
position within three or four months to
enjoy all the advantages arising out OF
ConnellavilIe extension; TO be ready in
that time to take business under the con-
dtions which the road has been building
toward since the Connellsville extension
was first talked of.
The greater number of the improve
ments which are expected to bring the
road into this condition will be complet-
ed by July |, or before that time. The
ballasting on the Connellsville extension,
making possible the handling of fast
freight, was held up during the winter
months, but has now been resumed, and
1t is expected that it will be completed
within three months or less.
This means that the end of a scheme
of improvements costing $40, 600, 900 is in
sight. The improvements other than the
ballasting of the Connelsville extension
include the new west yard at Hager =
town, which will, it is expected, be com
pleted by July l; the new passenger sta
ton there, now nearly completed; sever
al extensions to the side tracks between
Hagerstown and Cumberland, and the
five new tracks between these towns.
They include the new engine terminal
facilities at Cumberland the two new
freight houses there---one already COM
pleted, the new passenger station there
and the new line through Cumberland,
including bridge over the Potomac
liver. The telephone line between Hag-
crstown and Cumberland is being COM
oleted and President Fitzgerald says the
che road expects to be dispatching trains
)y telephone there by May Is.
This means that by the middle OF the
summer the Western Maryland Railroad
expects to be getting the first of the in
creased business to come to it from its
connection with the New York Central
and the Erie.
Mr.. Fitzgerald refused to make any
comment on the number Of cars he eX-
pected to come to the road with this new
,ra in its history.

PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.

Motion pictures by Geographic wire
is the most recent nine days wonder.
1t will be recalled, perhaps, that
the Franklin Institute of Pennsylva-
MIA, which is one of the foremost Sci
entifc institutions in America, not
so very long ago honored Prof. {.
Francis Jenkins, who has just invent
ed the telephotoscope, by presenting
him with the Ellison gold medal for
pcrfecting his phantoscope and for
being the first to project motion pic
lures on the screen in life size or
larger. Professor Jenkins was also
honored by receiving the French deco
ration of the cross for his research
work and his scientific inventions.
From his original invention grew the
motion picture machine and the talk
ing picture machine.
Professor jenkins has now elabo-
rated on them both by producing the
telephotoscope. By this wonderful
invention, he claims, it is possible to
reproduce things enacted in one city
upon screen in the theatres of other
cities through Geographic connection.
In operating the telephotoscope a
camera is placed near the scene being
enacted. The camera is connected by
wire with large copper plate that
is chemically treated and connected
with a very high power battery or dy-
namo. The plate and wires are con-
ncctcd with the moving picture CAM
era especially constructed with u shut
ter and the handle of the camera is
turned around in the same way as by
takers of regular motion pictures.
The image is received Oh specially
prepared glass and'transferrcd through
the back to the copper plate, this be-
ing in contact and perfectly in accord
with the screen fitted at the other
end of the wire.
Whether at a distance of |, 10 or
100 miles the scene is reproduced on
this plate and transferred to the spe-
cially prepared glass connected with
the battery and baths for developing
and projecting on the screen by a
specially constructed machine for
that purpose.

and before a physician could cauterize
the wound properly the poison spread
to her system and she began to have

The Tiger catchers say il is almost
impossible for Boehler to throw a
straight ball. For this reason he is
the hardest pitcher TO catch in the
Tigers squad. The catcher never know 8
whether the ball is going to break 10
or away from the batter. Boehler also
has q sweeping curve which is hard
