TILLMAN FOR CHARLESTON.
Working to Secure Lighthouse Depot
for This Port.

Washington, January 2S.-Al-
though not yet allowed by his physi-
clan to go to his office Senator Till
man has so far recovered from his
recent attack of erysipelas that he
now takes walks on the street and
feels almost himself again. The
senator has taken up with the de-
partment of commerce by letter in a
very vigorous way the eudgels for
Charleston in reference to the light
house headquarters. He bases his
activity on the reports from Savan-
nah that reliable information had
been received that the depot would
go to the Georgia city.

BETTER FARM HOUSES NEEDED.
Department of Agriculture Finds Av.
erage Equipment Very Poor.

Washington, Jan. 30.-That the
average farm home in the United
States is a rebuke to America S
boasted civilization is the conclusion
reached by an investigator of the de-
partment of agriculture. In a state
ment the department emphasizes the
Importance of an economically con-
structed and comfortable home for
the farmer, the most important fea-
ture of which should be the kitchen.
Relatively, it is declared, the house
wife Of a century ago with her fire.
place cooking and log cabin was bet
ter provided for than is the house
wife to-day.
THE possible economy in house
hold labor and the conservation of
the strength of the housewife" ac-
cording to the department, "are two
important factors to be considered
in the construction of farmhouse.
Pleasant and comfortable farm
homes tend to hold families together;
but the cherries, unlovable and un-
sanitary houses drive boys and girls
to the cities. Investigation of pri-
sons, insane asylums and houses of
correction seem to prove the fact that
the sins which account for the ex-
istence of the institutions are often
bred in inadequate and unhappy
farm homes. So this social aspect of
the problem is considerable"
In a systematic investigation the
department is trying to suggest a
general plan of improvement of farm
homes.

Ends of Chile Are Linked BY Rail-
way.

way.
The Longitudinal Railway of Chile
is at last an accomplished fact. The
last rail needed to complete it was
spiked down on November 20, 1913,
and to show the exuberance of their
feelings in the matter the officials
used solid silver spike as the last
one, and held general jollification.
This scheme of having Puerto
Montt, the way down south port of
the country, connected by rail with
Iuuique, up in the northern end, has,
according to the account just pub
lished in the bulletin of the Pan
American Union, been the dream and
hope of all good Chileans since Presi-
dent Balmaceda first started the pro-
ject in 1891. They thought that one
end of the country ought to be con-
nected with the other by rapid
transit system, first, because in be-
tween these ends lie many fertile val
leys between mountain systems which
contain mineral wealth rich beyond
the dreams of avarice,' and for eX-
ploitation of both agricultural and
mineral resources transportation ia
cilities were needed; second, because
of strategical reasons and for the
proper defense of the country.
The Chileans, as general thing
don't start anything they can't finish
so when they once started their Lon
gitudinal railway scheme they contin-
ued to hammer away at i: until now
it has become a reality. From Jrri-
que to Valparaiso is about 1,00C
miles, and from Valparaiso down tC
Puerto Montt is S67 miles, so the
total length of the connected roads
is 1857 miles. 1t was at a little
place called Yerbas Buenas, about e.
miles north of La Serena, that the
laying of the last rail took Place

tion and other high officials lending

casion, which marked another step in
the rapid march of progress of the

The house last Friday passed bill
introduced by Representative Haynes
worth of Greenyille, providing for the
establishment of textile schools in
counties having as many as 1000 mill
operatives. The bill provides for the
appropriation of not exceeding $5,-
600 to start the school, and not ex-
ceeding $4,000 a. year to keep it 60
ing. The argument in favor of the
bill was the opportunity afforded to
mill operatives for improvement
while working for living. The
bill has yet to receive the consid-
Grafton of the senate.

Millionaire for a Day.


Jay McDevitt, who parted with ST.
500 in a single day when he played
millionaire for a day." and tried to
blaze up old Broadway, has sold the
history of his life, and with the s3,-
900 which it has brought him has
bought a statue of himself and will
hire a special train and leave here
Tuesday, February 3, to ask congress
to accept the statue and place it in
the capitol at Washington.
McDevitt to-day paid over money
for a special train to Washington and
also got a receipt from the United
States marine band, which organiza-
ton is to act as his escort in Wash
ington.
John Jay will leave here early on
the morning of February 8. A band
of so pieces has been engaged to es-
cort him from his hotel to the special
train on the Lehigh Valley company.
His statue will form part of the
procession, and this will be in the
hands of four paid guards.
Washington is to know that John
Jay McDevitt, the one-day million
aire, is to be it's guest. The United
States Marine band has been engaged
to meet him at the station, and while
patriotic airs are being played he will
march with his statue behind the
band to one of the large hotels. When
he has been properly quartered he
will send committee of his personal
friends with a letter to Champ Clark,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, offering congress the McDevitt
statue, which, by the way, is costly
bit of sculptor's handiwork.
These are some incidents from his
personal history:
Born in 1876 in a small mining
town during a coal strike period, and
as the mines remained idle for almost
year, I was not christened and was
without a name until the first pay. In
the meantime. they called me
Butch" This nick name has stuck.
WAS sent to the public schools,
and graduated at the early age Of
nine. At the age of ten I decided to
study law and spent year in the
office of an attorney, who was friend
of fathers. I never made much of
this, and I often feel sorry that I ever
learned the law.
Went to work in the coal min IS,
and at the age of fifteen, myself and
family moved to Wilkes-Barre.
worked about at different jobs
until 1 attained the age of %. Saw
an article in one of the papers saying
that it was very opportune time for
bright young man to become elect
ed mayor of the city. Announced my
self as candidate, but discovered
the article was misleading, and l was
defeated.
Got interested in politics and dis
played a wonderful aptness for the
game, and could change the German
votes by the hundreds, as these votes
were generally cast against the Irish.
Entered business and made some
money. Others lost some. Was sher-
iffed out, and again went back to
mining.
"Worked a short while, and be-
came uneasy, so much so that pack
ed my bag and baggage and for the
next few years tramped the country
from end to end. Slept in jails, sta
ton houses and rescue missions, met
many undesirables, and became &C
uuainted with the underworld. Came
back to my home, sought Office, and
was successful as Democratic candi-
date for county treasurer. Was
given $4,000 to get off the ticket,
took the money, hired train and
lived as a millionaire for one day.

MINIATURE ALMANAC
Week of AUGUST 6.
Telephone Service.

One of the chief things about Cas-
CO Bay that is source of surprise
to visitors coming here for the first
time, is the lack of any sort of tele-
phone service on some of the larger
islands. And it is surprising that on
such islands as Long and Chebeague,
especially, an instrument so useful
and needed almost every day should
not be found. To install telephone
service on either of these two islands
would not be difficult. At Long Is
land it could be easily carried across
from Peaks or Great Diamond, while
at Chebeague even less difficulty
would be experienced by bringing it
over from the mainland by way of
Cousins or Littlejohns. The telephone
has come to be a very essential part
OF modern life and no little incon-
venience is occasioned to summer
residents who are not able to avail
themselves of 1t. A striking example
of how costly the lack of it can be
was afforded only this summer at the
time of the burning of the New Gran
lite Spring hotel at Long Island.
No word could be gotten to the city
as to the location and extent Of the
blaze except by rowing over to Great
Diamond and telephoning from there,
by which time the damage was done
A telephone at Long Island at that
time might have saved many dollars
loss. But though emergencies such
as these seldom arise, for shopping in
Portland, for sending messages to
other islands, for all the many uses
to which one puts it at home, the
telephone would prove invaluable in
the saving of time, worry and ex-
pense.
II the matter were brought before
the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company by a sufficient
