Railroad Notes

TESTING STEEL PULLI1 CAR Railroad Men Are Much Interested in Forthcoming Test of Car. T - it m . ... necuuve uiuciais or trunk linos tire deeply interested In the testd to be made ot the lirst steel Puliman cur t.vtr constructed. The enr wtd built at Chicago and was completed durir the past week. It will bo triven a test trial on one of the larger railroad sys tcms, and it Is generally believed that tho Now York Central, the Pennsyl vania, tho Erie and others will use nono except steel l'ulln.an ears for through Bervico within tho next year. The speed of the majority of through passenger trains has been greatly in creased during the past few years, and the officials have been working with a view of getting more Kubstuntlal cars for these trains. Some months ago the Erie railroad company received several steel passen ger coaches, and it was on this road that the Hrst steel passenger car figured In a wreck. All the other cars were practically demolished, while the steel car was scarcely damaged. Tho officials decided then the steel cars fur through trains, and Trie officials are especially interested In the test of the new Pullman car. Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad company khiw time ago announced that steel Pullman cars would be eventually used to make up the eighteen hour train between Chicago and New York. It was planned to reduce the running time of the fast train by about two hours, but it was decided to postpone this change until after the steel Pullman cars have been tested. During the past two or three months there has been an unusually large number of railroad wrecks, in which many passenger cars were destroyed and which resulted in a large number of passengers being killed. Tho weight of the locomotives has been greatly increased, and it is figured by operating officials that the increased weight of the steel Pullman cars will have but little effect upon the motive power. Bids for new steel Pullman cars will likely be invited shortly and contracts, it is expected, will be awarded early this spring. The first steel postal car built by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, at the Altoona shops, which was completed recently, has been given a thorough test on the eastern divisions and it was announced that the new car will be placed In service between New York and Washington. J. D. Platz, freight and passenger agent of the Gould line, who died suddenly of pneumonia in Mexico City oh Sunday last, was originally a resident of South Bend, Ind. He was highly esteemed by tho company for his ability as a freight and passenger man. It is understood that tho railroads have under consideration the running of excursions each Tuesday from all noints in the United States to the Jamestown Exposition at a rate averaging about 1 cent a mile. Tho railroads which have much of their equipment to renew are tlndin that It will C03t this year from 10 to 12 per cent more than last year, and the cost of locomotives will be 5 per cent more. Che. Never Could Mastsr It. "Talkl' about spellin'," said Mrs. Clubberley, "the French ara the worst yet. They can't even spell common, every day names twicet the same way. We met a soldier in Paris by the name of John Darm and he spelled his first name G-e-n. Then I heard them talkin' a good deal over there about somebody else by tho name of John Dark, and he spelled it J-e-a-n. Oh, I'd just go crazy if I had to learn that gibberish." The Youthful Niind. Among the answers to questions at a recent school examination appeared the following: "Gross ignorance is 144 times aa bad as jast ordinary Ignorance." "Anchorito is an oldfashioned hermit sort of a fellow who has anchored hisself to one place," "The liver is aa infernal organ." "Vacuum Is nothing with tho air sucked out of it put up in a pickld bottle it is very hard to get." Keep Movin3. The heavens themselves run continually round; the world is never still; tho sun travels to the east and to the west; the moon is ever changing in its course; the stars and plaaets have their constant motions; the air we breathe Is continually agitated ty the wind, and the waters never cease to ebb and flow doubtless for the purpose of their observation asd to teach us that we should ever be in action.

HER ORDEAL IS ENDED

Mrs. Harry Thaw, After Fivo Days cn the Grill, Finally Steps Down. HUHMEL PROVES OF ITO VALUE Looks Like the End cf the Trial Ii Coming in Sight Iliary Kept by Evelyn Nesbit Is a Feature of the Session Her Views of Things While at School. New York, Feb. 27. Mrs. Evelyn Xesbit Thaw's long ordeal upon th? witness stand at the trial of her husband for the killing of Stanford Whit? has come to an end. Jerome finished Lis cross-examination, which had lasted through nearly live court days, at the morning session. The re-direct and re-cross-esaminatious were of tho briefest character, and just prior to adjournment it was announced that the defendant's wife had finally been excused. The completion of Mrs. Thaw's pvnrninatinn followed tho vm. successful effort of the prosecution to draw from Abraham Hummel certain facts relating to the affidavit which Mrs. Thaw is said to have mado in Hummel's law office. Hummel Allowed to Say Eittle. In this affidavit it is declared thera

was an allegation that Thaw had beat- secured the prize notwithstanding loon the girl while abroad In 10o3 when cation. Cleveland, Harrison, Parker, she told him there was no truth in tho and possibly one or two other defeated

story about her relations with Stanford White. Delmas blocked practically every question put to Hummel. The witness trot no farther than to sav he knew Mrs. Thaw; that she came to his office Oct. 27. 1003, and that he dietated to a stenographer while she wa3 there. Justice Fitzgerald held that under the rules of evidence covering Mrs. Thaw's testimony the introduction of collateral facts was not permissible. Just Cleared Up Odds and Ends. Mrs. Thaw was given the opportunlty to clear up the odds and ends of her story. Jerome introduced In evidence her school-girl diary, and read certain extracts from it. They cause many smiles In the court room, reflecting ae they did the young woman's views of life during that period. Mrs. Thaw denied again that she had ever used a penny of the letter of credit Stanford White gave to her under seal before she went to Europe with Thaw and her mother. EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY They Make the Witness Smile When She Reads Theni.

Several extracts from Evelyn Nes- taken a more or less active part In poblt's diary were read out in court, and litical campaigns and my Interest in

as Mrs. Thaw read them over before them -will not flag, though the opporthev were read out she occasionally tunity to participate in them to aa

smiled. She said she kept tho diary while at school in Pompton, N. J., In 1002. Jpromp then rend few extracts from tho diarr. One was as follows: "Mrs. De Mille said to come right in and I jumped with the agility of a soubrette and began to get shy." An other read: "She has a son, but I must say he is a pie-faced mutt," Then Jerome read this: "My room hero is neither large nor small. There is a white, virtuous bed. I took a nap, and the last thing I remember was I wondered how far I irn from Rector's. Hector's is really not a proper place for an innocent young person, but I always had a weakness for it." "When one comes to think it over it is good to have lived. A girl who has always been good and never had any scandal about her Is fortunate in mora ways than one. On the other hand, not one of them will ever be anything, By anything I mean just that They will perhaps be good wives and moth, ers. but whether it is ambition or foolish I want to be a good actress first, If I stay here long I'll get just like the rest. I am very susceptlble and I'll soon be a ! ! 1" Jeromo said that here appeared three exclamation points nnd a pen sketch of a nun. Sbe said that wherever Thaw saw White after she had told Thavr the story of her rum he acted Irrationally. On one occasion ha seemed to have a fit he cried, sobbed nnd bit his nails, his body trembled and his eyes rolled. He believed that " . White had a cang following him and alwavs went armed, and this conduct continued until he had killed White. Referring to the report that she was mixed up with the Garland divorce case, which she denied, she paid that Garland told her mother that if they had anything to do with White he (Garland) would have nothing to do with them. She said that her friendship with Garland ceased when sh3 met Stanford White. Railway Is "Taking in Sail." Chicago, Feb. 27. Owing to railway legislation and the difficulty cf raising money, as well as the increased cost of labor and material, the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Taul railroad has temporarily abandoned improvements and extensions, for which the manage ment expected to spend between $6 000.000 and $8,000.003. Courage of Their Convictions ? Chicago, Feb. 27. Simplified spell ing brought about a spirited discussion during1 the session here of the educators and was finally indorsed by a vet of lo3 to 04. but when it was proposed to let all teachers who desired to do so tach simplified &Dellirs it was defeated,

On the Eve of Retiring from Office Secretary Shaws States His Position. US TEE HANDS OF HIS FRIENDS ! Does Hot Seek and "Would Kot Decline Political Honor. Takes General Grant as His Model its That Matter "Taking Thought" Cannot 3Iake a President, He Says. Washington, Feb. 27. Secretary Shaw, who has been elected president of the Carnegie Trust company, at New York, when asked what effect his acceptance of this position would have upon his political future, said: "A man by taking thought may make himself justice of the peace, but no man In my time by taking thought has mado himself president of the United States, nnd those who have given the subject most serious consideration have usually died in disappointment. Admittedly some of the successful ones hav Bought tho place, but none was nom; inated because he sought it. Analyses Former Nominations. 'Neither Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Gar field, Blaine, McKinley, Koosevelt, noi Bryan was nominated because of tha state he represented, and sbine of them candidates, have been aided by location, though Mr. cieveianu was once nominated in the face of an opposing delegation from his own state. All but two of the men whose names I have mentioned were nominated because of what they were and for what they stood, and the two exceptions wero compromises. General Grant Shaw's Model. "General Grant expressed the correct attitude of an ideal American citizen when he said he had never sought a place of honor or preferment, and had never declined one. The honora that have come to me have been ung ought. When the alternative of seeklng the nomination for governor of my state or running away from the sentirnent was presented I simply took tho affirmative of the issue. Whatever Sbaw presidential sentiment now exists has sprung up spontaneously, and unless it continues to grow In the same vray my name will never be mentioned In a national convention. In the Hands of His Friends. "Meatime I will not decline appro priate tasks nor refuse to do my share of the world's work. During all the years of my manhood I have ea an extent may wanting, and " win ue iur my pauj w u whether I am again invited from the congenial fields of personal endeavor to the perplexities of public service." Secretary Shaw declared that wherever he lived Denison, la., w-as his home, there hewould go when he retired from active life and there would he bo burled.

A positlvo declaration that Steve Adams and Jack Simpkins were miles away from the scene of the crime when Boule, the claim-jumper, was killed, -was made by Newt Glover. Giorer also flatly denied that pari 0f Adams' confession which stated that Tyler, Simpkins, Adams and Glovor had spent a night together in Slmpkins cabin just before Tyler was murdered.

The only way to tell whether a scheme is any good or not is to try It and abide by tho decision of tho court when it appoints a receiver for your business. 4d a Hcufts Crooks seldom take the rest cure until the sheriff insists on it in person. Being a pessimist is poor business unless you are bad enough at it to draw a big salary as a freak lecturer. Nothing Is so certain as the uncertainty of your wife.

Along with horseless carriages and wireless telegraphy seem to come marriageless marriages. Probably some people would have to live a thousand years before they could reach the ag8 of discretion.
