THE FIRST STEAM TRAIN IN
AMERICA

- Recently we received a letter from
Mr. Robert A Beers, of New Haven,
Conn, two cards with pictures of
the first steam trains in the u. S.
Mr.. Beers married Miss Ida Cooke,
daughter of Dr. N. M. Cooke, who
lived in Marietta. He is now IS
years old and was a six year old boy
when the first excursion train, with
two coaches and sixteen passengers,
ran from Albany, n. Y. to Science
tady, N. Y. and he was on the train.
So was Thurlow Weed, of New York,
and other prominent men. These
steam train coaches were built ex-
actly like the stage coaches of that
time, with room for six men inside
and four outside on the drivers seat
and the rumble.
The engineer stood on the little
engine which had four wheels as
big as those of an oX-cart and
weighed only four tons. Fuel con-
sisted of stove wood in two barrels
on the tender next to the engine
In the second picture, 1892, there
are three coaches and among the
passengers on top in the former drl-
yers' seat are two ladies The rail
road was only II miles long and was
called the Mohawk & Hudson River
Railroad The engine and it's driver
were imported from England. the
engine being christined John Bull
in honor of its native land and the
engineer, was John Hampson. He
was great man at that time as are
the bird men and racing autoists Of
this generation. Think of even
stalwart Englishman controlling a
monster machine with cylinders five
and A half inches in diameter, with
a stroke of 6 inches, propelling
wheels four and half feet IN
diameter.
We thank Mr.. Beers for these in
teresting cards and will paste them
in a scrap book for future editors to
see
Anthony Beers, father of Robert
Beers, was born in 1891 and George
Washington died in 1899, so the
lives OF this father and son embrace
A period of a century and a quarter
which includes some portion of the

FOOD QUESTION is DISCUSSED
Many Suggestions Made For Reliev-
ing Conditions in italian Cities
BV AsSocidtcd PreSs

Rome, Nov. 9, $3.50 p. m.-The
large increase in the price of food
stuffs is causing some anxiety. In the
public discussion that has followed on
this condition many remedies have
been suggested, especially in regard to
wheat.
The surplus of this cereal in the
United States and the next crop in
Argentina, it is stated, have already
been taken despite the fact that prices
in both countries were considerably
higher.
Italy has allowed wheat destined
for neutral countries to pass through
with the result that the importation
of wheat into Italy itself, as COM
pared with that passing through nom
inally destined for Switzerland but in
reality going to Austria and Germany
stands at two bushels to ten.

Advance of Allied Army
Along Belgian Sea Coast
Continues, Dispatches Say
By Associatcd Preas

Paris, Nov. 10, 7.O5 A. M.--Fighting
from sand dune to sand dune, ham
pered by thick fog banks and at times
crawling on hands and knees through
high grass, the advance of the allies
along the Belgian sea coast continues,
according to reports received here to-
day.
The region around Ypres is the
scene of the greatest activity as the
Germans apparently wish to take pos
session of the territory between La
ioasse and Nieuport which is consider
ed of great strategical Importance.
Although the advance yesterday
was only slight, the allies advance has
begun in reality.
The critics say it is impossible to
pay too high tribute to General Jof-
| fre's policy which hitherto has been
criticised by those who were impa-
tient and desirous of quicker results
! General Berthaud, considers the al
| lies advance on the right bank of the
! Aisne, together with the occupation of
Soupir, Chavonne and Vailly, of prime
| Importance. This means that the high
plauteau, including the Chemin Des
! Danes, has probably been occupied
and will give the allies the hotly con-
tested position in the plateau of Vre-
gny, northeast of scissors, which is
believed to be the key to thes Aisne
situation, This plateau, once taken
can easily be held as 1t is crossed with
ravines through which flow tributaries
of the Aisne. The heights from this
point to Craonne are believed to be
held by the allies. In Alsace the Ger
mans have suffered a marked defeat
