He has had charge of a train since 1861 and during those 41 years has never met with an accident or had a passenger killed.

John O'Brien, the veteran conductor the Lake Erie road, who has jut handed in his resignation, began work on the road as a teamster when the road was being built in 1S52.

He immediatelv clawed out two handfuls of hair, broke his spectacles, burst off three buttons and swore he would sue the paper for $10,000 damage. Our Railway and the Crops. The United States has, exclusive of second and third tracks, and yards and sidings, 197,237 miles of railway. The world has, all told, less than 500,000 miles. We not only have more miles of railway than all the countries of Europe combined (172,022), but, counting second, third and fourth tracks and sidings, more railway mileage (265,366 miles) than all other countries of the world combined. The superiority of the United States however, is not only in length of railways, but in the organization and equipment of great railway systems and in the business transacted. The report of the interstate commerce commission for 1901 shows that American railways carried in one year 607,278,121 passengers and 1,0S9,266.440 tons of freight. This year the busi ness in freight will be much heavier because of the larger crops. It is estimated that the corn crop this year will measure 2,600,000,000 bushels, or more than a billion bushels greater than last year. If one-third of this 2,600,000,000 bushels of corn is put aside for consumption on the farms the railroads will be called up on to transport 1,500,000,000 bushels. At an average of thirty tons to the car, this part of the corn crop to be transported would load 1.547,777' box car, or three and one-half times the number of all the freight cars belonging to the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Erie, Atchison, Missouri Pacific, Burlington & Quincy, and Rock Islanp railways combined. Made up in traius of fifty cars each, all the locomotives owned by all these 0 companies would be required to haul the corn crop, if it was necessary for it to go foward at one time. In addition to this, the wheat crop is estimated at 650,000,000 bushels, zmd the crops of barley, rye, oats, potatoes, hay and apples are reported as large as last year. All these make increased business for the railways. An Epidemic of Colds. There is at present an epidemic of cold in the city, which in no way differs from hay fever. Physicians pronounce this malady as nothing serious, although it is very disagreeable to the victim. Its cause is attributed to the pronounced changes in the weather. The patient has about the same symptoms as if suffering from hay fever, subject to violent attacks of sneezing, eyes ache and appear greatly irritated, and in some cases the trouble is accompanied by chills.

49 49 49 49 49 49 49 The " Pirates" Again Successful. The suggestion in the Tribune the day following the first presentation of the "Pirates of Penzance, " that the opera be repeated, proved to be wise, for at the second rendition Thursday night the opera house was not only filled to repletion, but the opera itself grew more into popular favor, if that were possible. The arias and chorusses, duets and solos, were as charming as though they had never been heard before. The audience was in a pleasant state of expectation and had come to enjoy the performance. The singers had good right to be gratified with the appreciation given to their efforts and they ro doubt feel the assurance that their work has not been in vain. Before the opera commenced Miss Queen Cleveland came in front of the curtain and gave a synopsis o the play, taking occasion to pay a worthy compliment to the musical genius of the late Sir Arthur Sullivan, the corrcomposer of the opera.' Miss Cleaveland aptly closed her synopsis with a quotation from "Hamlet" "but the play's the thing." Mrs. " Ruth " DeLoney, who had one of the most difficult parts, again did "excellently well," and her singing and acting were the subject of favorable remark. Miss Blanche Turner, in the character of " Mabel," sang beautifully, and in the higher notes her voice was particularly fine, The duet of " Mabel " and " Frederic" (Mr. Harry Grube) near the close, was beautiful. Messrs. Thompson, Matthews and Grube, who had the principal characters of the male voices, acquitted themselves with great credit, the chieftain of the black flag demonstratstrating satisfactorily that it was "a glorious thing to be a pirate king-" The daughters ot the "Major-General "not one of them "plain-faced" delighted all with their choruses and acting. The policemen were as popular as ever, and went to "glory," even though they went . down in the endeavor. Ample credit must be given to Mrs. McDonald, the directress, under whose laborious work the opera was produced. J. Don Gorrell Dead. J. Don Gorrell, editor of the North Judson News, died Wednesday night, after lying unconscious for twentyfour hours. Intercaranial neuralgia with brain fever was the cause of his death. Don Gorrell was recognized as one of Northern Indiana's leading editors. , James Gorrell, father of the deceased, died just a week previous: J. Don passed away without the knowledge of his father's death,being unconscious. He was thirty years old and leaves a wife and three children.
