STREET CAR’S BIRTHDAY. First Successful Horae Car Lins Opened Fifty Yearn A(O. Successful street railroading in this country is actually only fifty years old. Although there were many experimental horse car lines in the early jiart of the nineteenth century, including the famous ’'John Mason,” an omnibus which ran on stray rails fn New York city, the first street car line to have a continuous record of operation down to the present day was opened between Boston and Cambridge in the spring of 185<1. It has developed from a little single track line, over which four or five ears made half hourly trips between Bowdoln square and Harvard square, to the present unified system the Boston Elevated Hallway company, with a network of 450 miles of track, over which 250,000,000 revenue passengers travel each year. At the outset it was regarded as rather a doubtful venture, for it was thought by many that the public would prefer to continue riding in the omnibuses which for many years had furnished a means of conveyance between the New England capital and Its suburbs. The half century, beginning in 18511, thanks to the efforts of such electrical experimenters us Thomas Davenport, Professor Moses G. Farmer, Professor C. G. Pago, Thomas Hall, Henry Plnkus, Stephen B. Field, Thomas A. Edison, Leo Daft, Charles J. Van Depoele, John C. Henry, Professor Sydney 11. Short, Dr. Wellington Adams and many others, has witnessed the creation of American street railway properties, with a trackage of about 25,000 miles and carrying a total of more than 5,000,1)00,000 passengers every year, besides giving employment to more than twice as many men as are employed in the regular standing army of the United States. The first commercially successful electric railway was operated in 1888 by Frank J. Sprague at Richmond, Va., and the new motive power was first put into ojcratlon in a large city system in Boston In the year following. The name ‘‘trolley” is said to have originated among the employees of a little experimental line in Kansas City run by John C. Henry. The new type of car was early dubbed by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes “the broomstick train,” a name which is often humorously applied to It,

A Famous Old Castle.

The ancient castle of Sant Angelo, which has beheld time’s changes since the pagan days of the Roman empire, has been, after years of neglect and decay, restored to a condition worthy of an Institution that flourished before onr era as the burial place of the later Caesars, before It became first the great citadel of the popes and then the central prison of the papal administration. The building was at all epochs ornamented with fine works of art. Some have been already restored to the surface from under successive layers of plaster, and quite recently there has been brought to light a sculptured recess of the Court of Alexander VI. Among the painters whose work adorns the castle are Giulio Romano, Gian dl Udine aud Caravaggio.

Stoessel's Ordeal.

European accounts of the trial of General Stoessel, the “hero of Port Arthur,” say It is going very badly for Hint officer. Indeed his mismanage meat of the defense of the eastern citadel was such that his snlKirdlnates. Generals Kondratchenko and Fok, had resolved to defy military law and arrest their superior. General Kondratcbenko was killed the day before the arrest was to Ito have l»een effected. General Stoessel has asked that certain Japanese evidence lie called lu his defense. If it does not save him Stoessel is likely to be severely punished.

Last of the Millets.

Probably the lust family link with Millet, tin* painter of "The Angelus,” has passed auay in the person of her brother, .lean Baptiste Millet. Like his more famous elder brother, he was an artist. The great painter himself introduced him to the sculptor Viollet de Due, under whom lie did much ecclesiastical sculpture. The figures on the tom I) of Francis 1. ana other decorations in the Madeleine are by’ the younger Millet. Later, while living with his brother at Barblzon, he took up painting and established for himself a position in water color.

The Telemobiloscope.

Kuowu as the telemobiloaeope, un apparatus which Is expected to prove of great use to ships at night or in foggy weather lias been invented by a German engineer at Dusseldorf. Electric waves are generated by a sparking coll, which Is contained In a pivoted box and fastened on a ship’s bridge, and these, living projected into the atmosphere, act as "feelers" for metallic bodies. Should another vessel be near the waves reflect and record on the receiver the approximate distance and size of the other ship.

An Emergency Cow.

The London milkmen have a cow whose function corresponds to the “Sltzredakteur,” prison editor of the German press. When a milkman is arrested for selling below legal grade he is entitled to summon his cow in bls defense and have her milked before the Judge and so prove that the poor milk was the cow’s fault. Many milkmen have evaded fines In this way of late, and recently It was discovered that there was one cow which was famous for her bad milk that could be hired for court purposes.

CHAPTER XXI. GEORGE returned to town with the confession of Mrs. Jvsey in bis pocket. On arriving at the Liverpool street station he wrote a note to Kmvlaski telling him of Lola’s plight and advising him to engage* counsel for her defense. In another half hour he was in ids own rooms. After making a good meal, for he felt the need of food to sustain him. he sat down to read the manuscript of Mrs. Jersey. The confession of tin* wretched woman who had come to so tragic an end was written on several sheets of foolscap loosely plnped together. She wrote in u most cold blooded way and seemingly exulting in her wickedness. All through her confession run a venomous strain of deadly hatred toward George's mother, and indeed against any woman who paid attention to Vane. Jenny Howard was not spared, ami the woman Velez, “who kept an oil shop,” was mentioned. “My parents were of humble station,” began Mrs. Jersey abruptly. “I believe my mother was a lady’s maid x She married my Hupposed father, who was a butler. 1 say‘my supposed father,’us I have reason to believe that I was the daughter of a certain Italian count who had loved anti betrayed my mother. In her moments of rage my mother would taunt my supposed father with this, but when calm she always denied that there was any truth. When I grew old enough to understand she rebuked me for asking about the matter. ‘Ypu are my daughter,’ she said abruptly, ‘ami the daughter of Samuel Stokes, who is the biggest fool and the greatest craven 1 know.’ “It will be seen that tber? was no love lost between my parents. My fattier, Stokes—as I may call Jdm, though 1 believe the count was my real sire—was always very kind to ine and shielded me from my mother's rage. She treated me very cruelly, and when fifteen 1 was glad to go out as a scullery maid so us to escape her persecution. Shortly ufter I up life on my own account she died'in a fit of violent rage, during which she broke a blood vessel.

“It is needless to give my early life In detail. 1 rose from scullery maid to housemaid. Then 1 became parlor maid in a suburban villa, where the wages were poor and the food was bad. I took charge of children when not doing housework and managed to get on. But I was ambitious. I wlsh-

ed to get aiuoiiß the servants of the aristocracy. A friend of mine who was maid to the Duchess of taught me her duties, and I procured a situ:, tion. I pleased my mistress, and she promised to do much for me. However, she died, and I was thrown on the world. 1 saw an advertisement for a lady’s maid and got the situation. It was hi this way that I be came the servant of that woman whom I hated so deeply. • “She was called Roslna Lockwood and was no better born than myself. Her father was a low man who taught singing, and she appeared herself on the stage. I never thought she yyas beautiful myself. “At first I rather liked Miss Lockwood. She was kind to me iu her silly way, and the gentlemen who were In love witli her gave me plenty of money to deliver notes aud other things. There was one gentleman who was the best of them all—and the biggest fool over her blue eyes and fair hair. His name was Ireland, and he had plenty of money. He came to learn singing from old Lockwood sim ply to be near her, aud proposed three times to my knowledge. But she would have nothing to do with him, which was foolish, as he had money, aud she could have twisted him round her finger. “I was a handsome girl in those days, though I say it myself. But if a woman is good looking why shouldn’t she say so? I had a perfect figure and a complexion like cream and roses. My hair was as black as night, and my eyes were sparkling and large. I taught myself to read and write, and I learned French. Also I learned to play the piano aud to conduct myself like a lady, as I always was. “I knew my own value and looked about for the gentleman who would give me my rightful position as a lady. From my Italian father I inherited aristocratic tastes, and I was uot going to remain a low, vulgar common servant all my life, not me. “Then he came to the house. Percy was his dear name, 'and Ids blood was very blue. Lord Derrington was his father, a most aristocratic nobleman, who was an old brute, from my experience of him. But he was of high rank I don’t deny, and Percy had the blood of heroes lu his veins. He came to take lessons In singing. But after a time I saw that he was in love with my mistress. It was her arts that captured him, else be would have turned from her to me. But he never did.

“How handsome and fascinating was my hero Percy Vane! Fair hair and blue eyes and the figure of a life guardsman-just the kind of man 1 liked. He was kind to me—for her sake, J suppose—and gave me money and presents. She said she loved him, and used to make me sick With talking of him. I let her think I was her dear friend, as if she had known my true feelings she would have sent me away. “Lord Derrington was angry with Percy for loving my mistress, and I don’t wonder at it, a low singing woman. Percy had some money of his own. Inherited from his mother, and tie proposed an elopement. He said that Lord Derrington could not leave the estates away from him and that some day he would come in for the title. She never lived to be Lady Derrington. 1 was glad of that.

“Well, they eloped. After singing at a concert in St. James’ hall he met her outside and took her to Liverpool street station. I was waiting there with the luggage. We went down to a place (•ailed Wargrove, in Essex, and the very next day they were married in the church of that parish. I was furtous, but what could I do? Had I told Lord Derrington he might have stopped the marriage, but Percy would never have forgiven me, and I did not wish to lose sight of him. As Mrs. Vane’s maid I had chances of seeing him dally and of basking in the light of his eyes. It was weak of me, but I loved him so dearly that I would have done anything simply to be in bis presence. But I wish now that I had prevented the marriage. Since I could not get him, I didn’t see why she should bear off the prize. “Afterward we went to Paris, and from that place Percy wrote to tell his grandfather that he was married. I know he did not mention the place, for the letter was me to post, and 1 opened it. I never gave it a thought at the moment, but afterward Percy’s mistake in not telling where the marriage bad taken place did me a lot of good. I should not now be writing iu this house but for that lucky omission. Lord Derrington would have nothing to do with his son, and there was trouble with Mr. Lock wood. “I lived with the two of them during their married life. A son was born, and she died. I was glad when she died, and I was sorry she left the boy. Percy was wrapped up in the child and gave him to me to nurse. Mrs. Vane was burned In Pere la Chaise, and then Percy, with myself and the baby, went to Monte Carlo. He gambled there In order to forget his grief, though I don’t see what he had to moan over, seeing what a silly fool bis late wife was. Percy lost money and wrote to

hls Tatlier. who declTnea to help him. Then he went to Italy and wandered about. Now that he was free I hoped to marry him. When not nursing that horrid child I devoted myself to study so as to be worthy of the time when Percy would marry me. I knew that the future Lady Derrington would hold a high rank, and I qualified myself to fill the position gracefully. I did work. I learned arithmetic and French like a native. I got an old artist to teach me to paint in water colors, and I bought a book which taught the manners of good society. Percy saw the change in me and congratulated, me on the improvement which haft taken place in me since leaving England. “As to that child, I should have liked to drown it or to have given it to gypsies. As Lady Derrington I did not wish to be troubled with her brat. Besides, Percy loved the boy so that he used to make me envious the way he nursed him. But had I got rid of the child—and I thought of a thousand safe ways I eould have done so—l should only have been sent away. “The end of it came In Milan. We were stopping at the Hotel de Ville, and there was a waiter who fell in love with me. He was an English boy called George Hates, a horrid, scrubby, red haired, nasty, pale faced creature, who worried me to death. Besides, he was yomJger than I was, and I wished for a husband to protect me. I should have had to look after George Rates, whereas Percy In the days to come would look, after me. Besides I felt that it was an impertinence for a low waiter to expect me to marry him, me, who had done so much to Improve myself and who looked forward to taking proud rank among the British aristocracy. • [TO BE CONTINUED.)
