It has been represented to Presi-
dent Wilson that two French citizens
members of an organization known as
the Christian Brothers, were recently
executed under orders issued directly
by General Villa. The matter was
laid before the president by Charge
d'Affairs Clause of the French en-
bassy. The Mexican troubles are not
yet settled, it seems, by long odds.

Supposed to be the healthier, why
are the cities near the seashore sub
iect to so many more diseases than
the inland cities?. Some years they
are fighting yellow fever, and just
now they are alarmed over the spread
of the bubonic plague. Really, it
seems to us that the lines of those
who live far into the interior have
fallen in pleasant places.

Because the government failed to
perform its part of the contract Judge
Rhydon Call, of the United States
district court at Jacksonville, has de.
cided that the Florida East Coast
Railway cannot be forced to carry out
it's part of the contract in completing
the deepening of the channel in Bis
cayne Bay at Miami to deep water.
1t would have been big improve
ment for Miami if the government
could have been persuaded to carry
out it's part of the contract.

The Tampa Tribune, noting the
failure of a saloon in Ocala for the
want of patronage, remarks that
"there is some hope for Ocala." When
il is informed that two instead of one
failed for the same cause, 1t will no
doubt feel sure that there is double
hope for our city.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TO
DAY W

Marvellous things have happened In
| the way of transportation and TRAFFIC
| in the past century.
One hundred years ago today the
first locomotive in the world to sue
cessfully haul load of freight upon
| rails made its maiden trip. Invented
by George Stephenson, the Father
of Locomotives" it made its first run
at Killingsworth colliery in England.
1t had so many rods and cranks
strapped to It's boiler that it had the
appearance of huge grasshopper. IL
weighed about six tons. A pair OF
walking beams" resembling those or
a modern side-wheel steamer, turned
the four wheels. There being no
cab, the engineer had to stand while
the engine was in operataion. 1t pull
ed eight loaded cars, which aggregat-
ed a weight of thirty tons, up track
that had a grade of one foot in an
eighth of mile. The test was a
grand success, the engine running
about six miles an hour. The first
locomotive to draw train of cars in
the United States made its expert
mental trip in the Lackawanna coal
district fifteen years later. This loco
motive also was the product of Ste
phenson. 1t was called the Stour-
bridge Lion, after the place OF its
manufacturers in England. Its
American engineer, Horatio Allen, ran
the engine over track of hemlock
rails for preliminary test. Then he
invited any gentleman in the gather
ing of spectators to accompany him.
His invitation was not only refused,
but he was urged to give up his fool
hardy ambition Laughing at his adj
visers, he pulled the throttle wide
and dashed away-at ten miles an
hour.
Today over $4,000 locomotives are
in motion over the 100000 miles of
trackage in the United States. They
consume about 100000 tons of coal
and carry over a billion passengers
and 1,800,000,O00 tons of freight annu-
ally. After adopting the English
born child of civilization the United
States took the lead in it's develop
ment and application until today it
stands as the worlds greatest manu-
facturer of locomotives. Besides max
ing enough to meet the domestic de-
mand, the American manufacturers
are shipping locomotives abroad at
the rate of dozen a week. They
are laundering through the mountains
of South America and over the plains
and valleys of Africa; they are dis
turbing the calm of the Orient, and
are dashing from one end of Europe
to the other; they have invaded thei
land of the locomotives birth, Eng
land, and are in use upon its principal
railways. Like the steamship, the
locomotive is growing larger and
more powerful every year. The larg-
est reported to be in use today is a
huge compound engine which meas
ures 120 feet over all and weights
$4,000 pounds. 1t is an oil burner
and carries 1000 gallons of oil and 12,-
900 gallons of water. 1t cost S43,S30I
to build. These giants have reached
point where one locomotive is so
long that it is hinged in the middle
with a flexible joint so that it can
turn a curve without upsetting. Thus
the locomotive has become the mod
ern ATLAS" that carries the burden
of the worlds trade and population
across the continents.
