PLATT ROOSEVELT'S SPONSOR
Aged Senator Claims Credit for Start
ing Retiring President on His
Career.
In the first installation of his rem
iniscences, which will appear in one
of the April magazines, United States
Senator Piatt, who retires Thursday,
takes all the credit for Roosevelt's
successful career. He declares that in
1898, when Roosevelt was selected
for the nomination as the republican
gubernatorial candidate, friends of
Governor Black, by proving' that he
had sworn off his Oyster Bay taxes
on the claim that he was not a resi
dent of New York state, scared
Roosevelt so that he wanted to with
draw. Piatt says he told him, "You
can't withdraw. You must trust me
to solve this problem and elect you
governor of New York. Is the hero
jof San Juan Hill a coward?"
This challenge, according to Piatt
did the work and Roosevelt remained
a candidate. Joseph Choate was
called into the case and gave an
opinion that Roosevelt was
a bona
fide resident of New York
nominated and elected.
and he was
NEED NO HEADLKJfitr-

LOCOMOTIVES

In This Country, However, They Are
a Necessity, and the Proper

Problem to Solve.
Headlights as we use them are prac

a contributor to
Railway and Loco

ing. Level cross
ings are few and
far between in
that country and
usually specially
protected, so that
any serious at
tempt at track 11
lumination is left

glneers
consideration. English en-
however, need not be pitied
as 'absence of headlights involves cer
tain advantages.
The colors of signal and switch
lights In England are not affected by
the feeble signal-light on the engine
falling upon them. There is no daz
zling or blinding effect produced upon
the crew of either train when two
trains pass, la this country, where
conditions are very different, the
problem of proper track illumination
Is one which has to be solved. The
Increase of traffic and the high speed
of trains, the introduction of block-
signals, the train-signal system, and
the presence of level crossings make
the solution of the problem for Amer
ican railroads one in which all the
conditions must be fully considered
and adequately dealt with, and the re
sult may have to be something in the
nature of a compromise.
In brief, we may say, some of the
principal requirements of a locomotive
headlight are that the light from it
shall be powerful enough to illuminate
the track far enough ahead to permit
of an emergency stop; that the light
shall not be so brilliant as to cause
temporary blindness or bewilderment
in those upon whom it falls; that in
the matter of. signal observance it
must not alter or modify the colors of
the lesser lights which come into its
field, and that it shall be as effective
a form of light as can be devised for
foggy or snowy weather.
Among the various sources of lights
available for headlights the use of
acetylene gas seems to have several
points which are worth considering.
A storage system of dissolved acety
lene is now being used in locomotive
work by several railroads, with very
satisfactory results. The acetylene
flame is much more powerful as a
source of light than that from oil, and
its greater power extends the range of
vision of the engineer without seri
ously inconveniencing those on a train
moving in the opposite direction, and
without bewildering those who come
within the beam. The quality of the
light, or, one may say, its approxima
tion to sunlight, is such that it does
not fade out or modify the colored
lights upon which it falls, and its fog
piercing qualities have brought it to
the attention of the maritime world,
and the production of acetylene gas
by the process now in vogue has
brought its cost down to very satisfac
tory figures. The whole headlight
question has aroused a great deal of
interest in this country and in Canada,
and it is certain that the possibilities
of acetylene gas in this connection are
well worthy of serious consideration.
Government Punishes Strikers.
Nationalization of the Italian rail-
ways has had a curious result. The
employes are now under the ban of
the criminal law, and the strikes of
last year by the railway workers have
resulted in the prosecution of 2,962
railway men at Turin for participation
In the big general strike of last year.
They are being tried in batches of 30
each in the Turin law courts, and five
days in each legal week are assigned
for the trials until the whole of the
cases are disposed of. It is reported
that similar trials on a smaller scale
are ti.king place at Rome, Milan,
Bologna and other centers involved in
the general strike. The lowest penal
ty yet inflicted has been a fine of 16
lira ($3.04) and 50 days' suspension
of civil rights. The law under which
the men are tried is the provision
against strikes in the public services
For Preservation of Ties.
The Pensylvania Railroad Company
In awarding a contract for the erec
tion at Mount Union, Pa., of a plant for
the treatment of timber by any stand
ard process, has taken the initial step
toward the preservation of its cross-
ties and other timber. In connection
with the plant two creosote storage
tanks of 500,000 gallons' capacity each
are to be erected at Greenwich Point,
Philadelphia. These tanks will have
a comDinea capacity sumcient to re
ceive a tank steamer cargo of oil, that
will be shipped to Mount Union in
tank cars as needed. The treating
plant will have a capacity of from
1,500 to 2,000 ties a day, if day and
night shifts of hands are worked. This
will give an annual output of about
500,000 ties. .
Woman Engineer of Train.
Mrs. E. L. Douglass, wife of the gen

railroad, handled the throttle of the
locomotive that drew a train from
Athens to this place, says a Gaines
ville (Ga.) correspondent. She made
the 60 miles in 80 minutes, including
stops. At times she sent the train
along at more than a mile a minute.
When she left the locomotive she was

DUCTOR SAVES A TRAIN.
Swings Aboard Caboose and Warns
Oncoming Flyer, Heavily Loaded.
Conductor William McCoy of the
Denver & Rio Grande road is the hero
of a thrilling ride over LeVeta pass.
Boarding a runaway caboose as it
passed Walsenburg station, going at
the rate of 20 miles an hour and gain
ing momentum every moment, he
saved a passenger train from wreck.
McCoy was in the depot when he
heard the sound of the approaching
car. Thinking part of the train which
he had come in on, and which he had
left to be switched, had broken loose,
he ran out and saw the caboose com
ing down the track. Quick as thought
he remembered that a passenger train
was coining in within a few minutes
and that the flying caboose was on the
same track.
He took his life in his hands and
swung on to the runaway car. He
tried to put on the brakes, but was
unable to. Something had given way,
which accounted for the car breaking
loose. "At the same instant that he
learned of the brake's failure to work
he saw the distant light of the passen
ger train coming up the divide.
In a brief second he had taken the
lantern from the rear of the caboose
and was madly signaling the oncom
ing train.
Engineer Henthorne of the passen
ger train saw the signals, stopped his
train and began to back up with all
possible speed.
The wild caboose gained on the en
gine as both neared the junction, but
the train reached safety in time for a
brakeman to jump off and throw the
switch, permitting the caboose to take
the Y toward Trinidad.
On the Y track it soon struck the
heavy grade on Tuna hill and stopped.
The passengers on the train did not
know the danger until it was all over.
Then they realized that only the pres-
9:e of mind of Conductor McCoy and
tne prompt action or Engineer Hen
thorne had prevented what would prob
ably have been a severe disaster.
BY RAIL TO CUBAN SHORES.
Engineers Triumph in Laying Tracks
Across Florida Straits.
hen the Key West extension of
the Florida East Coast railroad, work
on which is being pushed rapidly, is
completed from its present terminus
at Knights Key dock to Key West and
Henry M. Flagler, owner of the road,
is able to carry out his announced in
tention of ferrying trains from Key
West to Havana, passengers will be
able to enter a parlor car at New York
or Chicago and upon leaving it, step
off on Cuban soil.
It is planned to have trains running
through to Key West in time for Mr.
Flagler to ride over the line on his
eightieth birthday in January, 1910. If
the ferry takes the trains across o
Florida straits to Havana from Key
West, it is estimated that the time be
tween New Ydrk and the capital of
the new island republic will be 50
hours. At present the time between
the two cities via steamers sailing
from Knight's Key dock, Is 52 hours

this unique railroad, running as it does
for many miles over the water, will
be required. From Knight's Key dock
to Key West the distance is 45 miles
Ninety miles of water lie between Key
West and Havana, but after leaving
the mainland at the southern extrem
ity of Florida, trains will run over the
water on long concrete viaduct bridges
stretching from key to key for an even
greater distance to Key West.
Hard Times Force Millennium.
The panic in October, .1907, caused
immediately a very heavy fall in the
traffic and gross earnings of the rail
roads of the United States. Many lines
were reduced over night, as it were.
from prosperity to the danger of bank
ruptcy. in tnis emergency the man
agements turned to the employes for
help. The employes, out of a sense of
loyalty, as well as for their own pro
tection, were glad to give it. The story
of the way vice-presidents, general
managers and superintendents, con
ductors, enginemen and engine wipers
labored shoulder to shoulder during
the past year to keep railroad expenses
below railroad earnings is an interest
ing and picturesqpe chapter in the his
tory of American railroad transporta
tion. During prosperity bickering be
tween managements and employes was
chronic. Adversity quickly made them
see that their interests were mutual
and interdependent. The story is dra
matically told in Technical World
Magazine. -
Train Runs Away.
Its brakes helpless to hold on the
icy rails of a steep grade west of
Balsam station, near Asheville, N. C,
the highest railway station east of the
Rocky mountains, a Southern railway
freight train attained the terrific speed
of 100 miles an hour, down the Balsam
Mountain with John Coble, engine
driver, in the cab making his first run
over the road. All the train crew ex
cept Coble jumped, and alone he shot
down the grade.
At the curve at the bottom five cars
on the end of the train jerked into
the air and whiplashed into Addie sta
tion, knocking the frame structure into
kindling wood, three of the freight
cars piling on the roof. Coble stopped
the train two miles beyond.

hams always come from younger pigs
land are to be preferred. Too fat a
'ham is as undesirable as too lean a
one. i
Broiled ham is good and the barbe
cued, as it is called, has its friends.'
iCut rather thick slives of cold boiled
iham and lay them in a frying-pan.
Cook on both sides until they begin to'
'Crisp at the edges and then put on a
hot dish. Add to the fat in the nan
ifour tablespoonfuls of vinegar, a salt-
ispoonful of English mustard, a tea
spoonful of white sugar and a few,
idasbes of black pepper. Roil up once,!
,pour over the ham, let it stand covered
for a couple of minutes and send ..o
the table. There is no more savory
method of cooking ham than this, and
dt wins almost universal approbation. '
By way of a fry, bacon and apples'
are good on a chilly night. Cut the,
bacon very thin. Lay it in a hot pan
and fry it quickly in its own fat. Keep
it hot on a plate after taking it up,
and fry in the fat left in the pan thick
slices of cored but unpeeled apples.i
When cooked tender, serve in the dish
with the bacon, the latter laid about
the edge of the platter. If the apples
are very tart sprinkle a little granu-i
lated sugar upon them just before
taking them from the pan. Sweet or
semi-sweet apples are best for this
dish. Apples may be fried in butter
:and taste well. '
Veal and Ham Patties Required:;
Half a pound of good pastry ("puff
'pest), six ounces of cooked veal three
'ounces of cooked ham, one ounce of
good butter, three-quarters of an ounce
'of flour, a gill and a half of milk, or
'half milk and half white stock, one
teao-poonful of lemon juice, seasoning,
nutmeg, cayenne.
Stamp the pastry into small cakes,
using a cutter or lid of tin. Mark the
centers with a smaller cutter, pushing
it about half way down, on ro account
right through.
I Cut out small rounds to act as lids.
Place cases and lids on an mi greased
baking sheet and bake them in a very
hot oven for about ten minutes, or
until crisp and delicately bro-vned.
Remove the marked centers care
fully and scoop out the soft interior.
iBO as to leave empty cases.
, Mince the veal and ham somewhat

Stir in the veal and ham and season.
When cold, fill in the cases neatly.
land place a small lid of pastry on top
of each.
The quantities given will make 18
patties. ' -
Bouillabaisse (Marseilles).
To be a success this dish must be
highly seasoned and include a great
variety of fish. Heat half a cupful of
pure olive oil in a saucepan; add five
lor six little onions,' a bay leaf, two
roots. of parsley, three bunches of
thyme, a branch of soup celery and
three or four cloves. .Moisten with a
quart of fish stock, add a pinch of
Spanish saffron, diluted in a little
water. Nod add any firm fish at hand
It is always better to include salmon..
while an eel is imperatively demanded
,by the French housewife. A small
ilobster, a very small bass, the same
sized flounder, and a few smelts make
;a good combination. Dust lightly with
salt remember, the fish stock is sea-
Isoned and set the saucepan on the'
'back of the range to cook very slow
ly. When tender remove to a deep
fish, in the bottom of which are strips
;of hot fried bread. Pile the fish above
the bread, with the lobster on top, and
serve exceedingly hot.
Kentucky Potatoes.
Pare and slice four good-sized pota
toes; put a layer of these slices in the
bottom of a baking-dish; sprinkle with
;Salt and pepper, then another layer of
potatoes and so continue until all the
'potatoes are used. Fill the baking-
'dish with milk that is, the potatoes
should be covered, no more; put over
;the top a few bits of butter, sprinkle
the whole lightly with bread crumbs
and bake in a moderate oven for three-
quarters of an hour. These, if nicely
prepared, are delicious.
Frying Eggs.
The most disagreeable part of fry
ing eggs is the sputtering und flying
of the hot fat. This may be avoided
by sifting a little flour in the . pan
before adding the eggs. This you will
find to work like a charm and es
pecially will the difference be no
ticed where there is a large family to
supply.
Spanish Rice.
Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in
skillet, when hot add one cup of dry
rice. Fry until brown, stirring con
tinually. Add a pint of water, small
onion, chopped fine; salt and pepper,
and one-half can of tomatoes. Cock

Used Awning as Toboggan.
Using an awning over a grocery
store in front of the building as a
toboggan slide, a dozen tenants on the
lower floors of a burning tenement on
Upper Fi-rst avenue. New York, Mon
day, slid safely to the street, aided
by policemen and firemen. Smoke
filled halls had cut off their escape
by the stairs and they were too ter
rified to climb down the fire escape
ladders. A hundred other tenants of
the building, further away from the
origin of the fire escaped from tha
blazing structure by the roofs and the
various fire escapes. The firemen
made short work of the blaze.
