AMERICAN TIN PLATE.
t
' HOW THE M'KINLEY BILL AF
FECTS WORKWOMEN.
Millions or Dollar Worth or Tia Flats
Formerly Made la England Now
Being? Made in America by Americans
XntwnBpi Don't Like It.
Thenp is a great deal to gratify the
friends of American industry in the re
port of Mr. Ayer, special agent of the
Treasury Department, on the subject
of tin plate manufacture. The hu
miliating argument that Americans
cannot manufacture tin plate has never
made any impression, except among
mugwumps and free traders who want
Great Britain to do the work for Amer
ica. The American people believe,
with good reason, that Americans are
at least equal to any other nation in
kill and industry, and that, with a
tariff to protect it from unfair compe
tition with the products of pauper la
bor abroad, American labor will
hold its own against the world.
Mr. Aver's report to Secretary Fos
ter shows that under the stimulus of
the MoKinley law tin and terne plates
are being made by American manufact
urers in commercial quantities, and
that they have been offered and pur
chased in such quantities bj' American
-consumers; that these plates have been
extensively tested and found equal if
not superior to foreign plates; that the
development of the new industry has
largely stimulated the manufacture of
black plates, and that firms have
turned their attention to the manu
facture pf machinery for tin and terne
plates. Forty-two concerns are re
ported as now engaged in making tin
plat and sixteen of these are making
their own black plates.
Dp to the passage of the McKinley
law this country was dependent upon
Great Britain for tin plate. Many mil
lions of dollars which ought to have
been expended in the employment of
American labor went to Great Britain
to enrich British manufacturers and to
pay British workingmen for doing
American work. The McKinley law
has given Americans a chance to do
their own work by giving them protec
tion against English rates of wages.
The free traders have sneered and
scoffed and have endeavored to belittle
the ability of Americans to enter upon
the tin plate iudustry. A buse and sar
casm have been lavished on all who
"undertook the manufacture of Ameri
can tin, and no language has been too
vicious or mendacious to apply to
those engaged in advancing the in
terests of all the people by mak
ing America industrially independ
ent. The evidence presented of the prog
ress of the tin plate industry in Amer
ica ought to cover Russell, Mills and
their fellow opponents of American in
dustry with r.hame and confusion. But
it is not likely that they w'.ll take any
thing back, nor docs it matter whether
tmey do or not. The facts and figures
speak with a force that no free trade
bombast can overcome. American tin
plate manufacture is fairly on the way
to take its place among those great in
dustries which are monuments to the
wisdom of the protective tariff.
TARIFF PICTURES.
For the twelve months ending March
31, 1S91, our dutiable imports were
$52,399,6G.-.
For the corresponding period ending
March 31, 1692, they were
$375,585,062.
Yet domestic manufactured products
have never been so cheap to the con
sumer as thoy are at present
In ten years under protection the
number of workers employed in manu
facturing establishments in Cleveland
has increased from 2 1.524
to 53,349
while the wages paid annually have
grown from S8,502,335
to
S30.423.C35.

The voters of Ohio have good reasons
for voting for Republicanism and pro
tection to home industries.
No argument refutes the free trade
dictum, "if you do not buy you can
not Bell," so effectually as the figures
of our breadstuff exports for the past
few months. During the nine months
ending March 31, 1891, we sold cereals
abroad to the value of S85,25L92G.
During the same period
cereal exports were
in 1S91 our
S233,159.912.
The truth is that when Europe needs
our food products it will buy them
whether we buy European manufact
ures or not.
Practical Reciprocity Result.
Fortheight months ending March
1, 189J, the exports from this country
to Cuba aggregated in value $8,797,
079. For the months ending March 1,
1801, under the operations of the new
reciprocity treaty, the exports were in
creased to a valuation of 4,065,108.
The principal exports are flour, tallow,
lumber and timber, salted and smoked
meats, crude and refined petroleum
and sewing machines. An increase of
sales of these and some minor articles
to Cuba, amounting to SI, 268,089, in
eight months under reciprocity is a
practical result of the greatest signifi
cance. Advice to Farmers.
We will open a book account with the
farmer and laborer of the United States.
"We will credit him with the amount of
tariff tax be pays, and will debit him
with the benefits of protection. The
repert of the Secretary of the Treasury
skews the amount of money received
awtually from customs dutias to be
nawtrt 1.80,000,000. 2Cow, doable this

IMP.000,093 "taken from the pockets
of the fseople annually," which is leas

deduct SI from now on for the tariff

leaves us $0 per capita, so that labor
ing men and farmers" with a family of
five persons, which is about the aver
age, pay 30 tariff tax annually. Now
we will debit you with the benefits
protection gives laborers in the United
States in higher wages giving the
American wajre-earners 100 per cent
better pay than is paid in England for
the same work.
Cleveland's Prosperity.
The facts in regard to the indus
trial development of the city of Cleve
land, presented in the address of the
Hon. Robert P. Porter, Superintendent
of the United States census, before the
Cleveland Board of Industry, and Im
provement, afford a striking example
ofthepractieal benefits .bfthe protect-
The present census shows that in ten
years the number of manufacturing
establishments in Cleveland has in
creased from 1,055 to 2,065; that the
capital invested in manufacturing has
Jmcreased in the same period from $19,
'43CLM9 to S53.074.346: that the number
of hands employed has grown from
21,734 to 53,349; that the yearly wages
paid have advanced from $8,502,935 to'
$30,423,(35; that the value of the raw
materials used has increased by $24,
G91,33fl, and that the value of the
product has grown from $48,604,050 in
ibou io99o,uiro,zti in ibvhj.
Such a record of industrial progress
is more effective than all tne free trade
theories ever printed. It is an argu
ment for protection whose force can
not bo lessened by any amount of
rhetoric. "
A Step Toward Free Trade.
In driving through with only fifteen
minutes, debate the bill to put binding
twine on the free list, the Democratic
House of Representatives practically
confessed that it was afraid to allow
open discussion of the measure. This
is not to be wondered at, for the bill
is one of the most disreputable and
demagogic measures introduced by the
present majority. To say this is to
condemn it severely, but the
statement is warranted by the
facts. Under protection the manu
facture of binding twine has been de
veloped in this country, its price to the
consumer has been reduced more than
half, and the industry which hat been
built up consumes 10,000 tons of Ameri
can hemp annually and distributes
about $2,000,000 in wages each year to
American labor.' If the Democracy
had the power it would destroy this in
dustry and send the $2,000,000 in wages
tooforeign laborers. It is fortunate for
the country that the power of the dem
agogues who control the House is re
stricted by a Republican Senate and
President.
Result of tbe McKinley Bill.
The American Protective Tariff
league is doipg a splendid work in the
compilation of "the McKinley census,"
which shows in detail the number of
new manufacturing .plants established
and the old ones expanded under the
tariff of 1890, giving in each case the
location, name of firm, company or in
dividual proprietor, with amount of
capital invested, number of hands em
ployed, hours of labor, wages paid,
amount of output, and character of pro
duct. The first installment of this census
is now ready and it makes a formida
ble showing. Democrats who want to
kuow what new industries have been
established under the McKinley tariff
can now be furnished with a bill of
particulars, as full and complete as
could possibly be desired. If they take
no delight in the details of the McKin
ley tariff census they will surely be in
terested in the "demnition. total." The
document is one of great value to Re
publicans and of peculiar interest to
Democrats. It can be had of the Pro
tective Tariff league, or through the
Washington office of the National Re
publican committee.
The Stuffed Prophet.
Cleveland said in 1S89 that the only
way to keep gold coin in circulation
was to suspend "the present purchase
and coinage of silver." Bland says
the purchase of silver and issuance
of silver notes under the Sherman
law is fatal to silver as money
and free coinage is all that will
save it. Yet we have not suspended pur
chase and coinage of silver nor have we
free coinage of silver, and still the gold
is uot driven out of circulation and the
total product of American silver mines
is represented in our currency. The
divided Democrats are part of them
gold monometallists and part of them
silver monometallists. The Republi
cans are the true bimetalists.
British Trade Prospects.
The English cotton trade is suffering
a period of great depression, and the
iron business is in no better condition;
England's imports are increasing and
her exports are as steadily decreasing;
the London Times, always loyal to free
trade, admits that Canada's demand
for reciprocity with Great Britain "may
possibly create a new situation alto
gether,' and a leader of the Liberal
party "fears that free trade is doomed."
This, in brief, is the news of the week
in free trade England. If it is en
couraging to the free trade propaganda
in America let them enjoy it to the ut
most Just Think ef It.
We have been importing from Can
ada some 11,000,000 of barley and malt
annually A large number of the
farmers of the United States ask to
have the tariff raised from 10 cents per
bushel to 30 cents per bushel (forty
eight pounds). The Republican party
says, "All right, we propose to help
the farmer," and so they increase ths
tariff on barley. Tbe average yield
per acre in the United States is given
at twenty-two bushels per acre, and it
will take 477,000 acres to produce what
barley is imported from Canada.
MRS. RUSSELL'S SKIRT DANCE.
It Is the Chief Attraction at the London
Royalty Theater.
A recent issue of the Pall Mall
Budget says: We give here sketches of
the Countess Russell and Mrs. Dick
Russell in their skirt dance, which was
the chief feature of the performance
at the Royalty theater on Monday and
Tuesday nights the performances be
ing given for the benefit of the Nation
al Lifeboat institution.
MABLE F.USSELL. LEHA RUSSELL.
The bill opened with Mr. W. S. Gil
bert's comedy, "Sweethearts," "ASkut
Dance," arronged by Mine. Marie, late
of the Alhambra theater, in which
these two well known ladies appeared,
attired in black and silver, with white
wigs and clinging drapery, was enthu
siastically applauded.
Lady Russell was distinguished by a
coronet on the front of her accordion
plaited dress, and was assisted by Mr.
F. and Mr. C. Lambert The perform
ers were recalled no less than three
times, and finally left the boards amid
a blaze of limelight and a bombard
nisnt of flowers. Judging by the de
meanor of the audience and the good
nature of the executants, the dance
might have been prolonged till far into
the morning.

ERECTED A. D. 1632.
OLDEST HOUSE OF WORSHIP IN
THE LAND.
It is Located in Norfolk. Va, and Hat
Uade cone Many Changes The Crave

Cemetary.
Some time ago-an interesting article
appeared in a New York paper describ
ing the oldest mectiug house in the
United States. It was said to have
been built iu 1638 in Connecticut.
The church, a picture of which is here
given, was erected at Norfolk in 1632.
t- -JEt-

THE OLD CHUKCH AS IT 19 TO-DAY.
The date of its erection was cut into
tbe hard, old bricks at two different
points It was the second church built
in Virginia. The first one, that at
Jamestown, has long since gone to
ruin. This building is without doubt
the oldest church building in America
erected by English speaking people.
The size is 30x50 feet and the tower
50 feet tall. The walls are thick, in
good condition; the brick and mortar
are so firmly joined together as to defy
separation without breaking the brick.
The oldest well-defined grave in the
churchyard is that of Gen. Joseph
Bridger, who died in 1686, and whose
father built the church, which has
withstood the ravages of three ware.
the revolution, the war of 1812 and the
struggle of 1860.
Three times it has been reroofed.
and it is now undergoing repairs of a
very substantial and attractive nature
assi bids fair to be useful as a church
for the next three centuries. Memorial
windows have been constructed for it
in England, and when again in shape
to use it will present a very attrative
appearance.
In this connection the fact is inter
esting that the present county clerk of
Isle of White county, the same county
in which the old church is located, is
the third or fourth of his line that
have held that same office in a continu
ous line of succession since the morn
ing, during the revolutionary struggle,
when the then incumbent left the
office and joined the royalist army to
fight against his country.
The Isle of White county, Va., there
fore claims not only the oldest house
in America bui't by English people,
but the longest and most continuous
office holding family in the United
States. ,
AMERICAN OPERA.
America Need Opera Under the Influ
ence of Amerlcaus.
What we need is American opera
given under American influences. This
can be brought about only by an elab
orate and well-organized system of
musical education. We have plenty of
good material for the making of musi
cians, but this material is buried be
neath tbe army of foreign artists who
come annually to our shores, and whom
Americans have formed the. habit of
encouraging often simply because
they are foreigners. In order to bring
out this latent material, a school for
opera should be established here. If
conducted on the best principles, it
would be of iuestim:ible advantage. It
would keep at home those young musi
cians who annually go abroad to study,
sometimes under the greatest disad
vantages, and it would encourage those
to undertake a musical education who
are deterred from it by the expense
which they would incur by European
training. The school should not only
train singers, but also young men who
are ambitious to become orchestra
players and orchestra-leaders. There
should be in connection with it
a theater in which operas
might be produced. The institution,
would thus be a practical school for
opera. The firstyear after its estab
lishment should be spent in funda
mental training. Private perform
ances of opera might be given, but no
public ones until the artists had been
thoroughly trained. As soon as this
was accomplished, three or four operas
might be publicly produced each year.
Native singers would thus have the ad
vantage of being heard under the most
favorable conditions, and native in
strumentalists would display their tal
ents in the orchestra. We need,
especially, a better training in this
country for the orchestra-leaders.
American composers, too, would be
greatly helped, for the school should
endeavor to encourage them, not by
ignoring works written by foreigners,
but by giving preference to operas
written by Americans. If it were-pos-sible
to raise a .guarantee fund for
such an establishment, splendid results
might be obtained in a very short
time.

Des Moises, Iowa., June 3. The
Prohibition State convention met -here
yesterday. About 150 delegates were
present, including a number of women.
S. A. Gilley of Marengo, chairman of
the State committee, called the meet
ing to orde. The Rev. M. E. Goddard
of Stuart offeued prayer. Capt. K! W.
Brown of Ames was selected temporary
chairman, Harmon Cook.secretary.and
A. X. Couts assistant Capt Brown
made a speech upon taking the chair
in which he dwelt upon the chances of
victory this year. Committees were
appoinfed on credentials, nermaucnt
organization. Presidential electors and
Stele committee, after which the
meeting adjourned to 1.30 o'clock p- m.
When the convention reassembled
the following permanent officers were
chosen: 'Chairman, the Rev. Wilmot

the Rev. S. H. Taft, Humboldt; secre
tary, Mrs. E. G. Cline, Rochester; as
sistant secretary, .1. AL Hanson, Grin

Leonard Brown of Des Moines created
the only sensation of the day when he
declared it was the duty of the conven
tion to take some action to secure the
release from the penitentiary of George
W. Potts and Frank Pierce, two ex
constables, who were convicted the
former of perjury and "the latter of
manslaughter. The convention re
fused to listen to Brown, but promised
tohear him after other business had
been transacted.
After the eleetion of Presidential
electors, district delegates, and dele
gates to the national convention, the
following were nominated on the Slate
ticket: Secretary of State, the Rev.
S. H. Taft, Burlington; Auditor of
State, A. R. Whitmore; Treasurer of
State, R. M. Diehle.
R. G. Parker was placed in nomina
tion for Attorney-General, but de
clined, stating he was uot a lawyer.
No lawyer could be found in the con
vention, and as that seemed to be a
necessary qualification the matter of
nomination was referred to a com
mittee. The convention adjourned at 5 o'clock
without having completed its work. It
was composed largely of men well along
in years and women. The latter took
a prominent part, and insisted on their
rights at every point The platform
was adopted.
DIVORCE IN FRANCE.
A Sad State or Affairs for Women with
Fortunes in that Cnuntry.
In France the secrecy of the divorce
trials does not work well, especially
when one of the parties is unscrupu
lous. A stupid woman, unless backed
by a clever advocate and a clan of rela
tives determined to see her through,
and just as clever as the husband, has
no chance. Divorce is also mak
ing French society more feverish than
it ever was before. Directly a married
man becomes rich, or rises to a brilliant
position, all the adventuresses are after
him. Some of them go to the expense
of setting private detectives to watch
his wife aud to lay traps for her. No
first-rate private inquiry office is now
without its stalT of professionally -handsome
young onniddle-sged men, whose
business is to compromise unguarded
married women. The machinations of
the handsome detective are never heard
outside of the Judge's chamber, and
they iikij' not be heard of even there.
Nor is even judicial impartiality cer
tain. French .Judges do not accept
bribes; liut they will do anything for
promotion, ami. consequently, for a
suitor who can obtain it for them. A
short tune ago a General divorced his
wife a giddy-pated but not bad person
under the 'most disgraceful circum
stances, bvMi for himself and the Judge.
A report of the proceedings would be
illegal, aud there is no kind of appeal
against the judgment
A Bit; Connecticut Elm.
A correspondent of the Burrillville
(Conu.) Gazette writes about a large
elm lieeon the Dexter homestead, on
the main road from Dayville to Dauiel
sonville. The tiee. which stands in
the yard in front of the old house now
owned and occupied by Alfred Potter,
is known to be over 100 years old.
About fifteen feet from the ground it
divides into three branches, one of
which was broken off some six months
ago. Mr. Potter, curious to know how
much wood the branch contained,
offered it to some Frenchmen if they
would cut it into cord-wood lengths.
They did so, and the wood measured
seven cords. The circumference of the
tree at the ground is seventeen feet
With the exception of the broken
branch the tree is now sound and
thrifty.
Old Human Jaw-Bones.
Mr. Will Brown has shown us human
jaw-bones which were recently taken
from an Indian mound on Chillicohat
chie Creek, one of the tributaries of
Peace River, says the Bartow (Fla.)
Courier-Informant They are quite
large, and in a tolerably good state of
preservation, but the teeth are abnor
mally small, the lower incisors some
what resembling shoe-pegs.
The molar teeth are all much worn,
probably "from chewing the end of
bitter reflection" after a failure of the
huckleberry crop. The bones are now
on exhibition at the real'estate office of
W. R. Brown & Co.. in this city. It
was in the bed of the Chillieohatchie,
it will be remembered, that the large
number of fossils, classified by the late
Prof. Leid3 of Philadelphia, were
found.
Choked on an Oyater Shell.
The Rev. W. I). Shea made a narrow
escape at Macon, Ga.. recently. He
went to a restaurant for some oysters
and swallowed a piece of shell, which
very near cost him his life. The shell
lodged iu his throat, lacerating the
membrane and causing hemorrhage
and strangulation. The several present
were attracted to the minister, who
had gone into convulsions. A physi
cian was immediately dispatched for,
but in the meantime the shell became
dislodged and was thrown up during
the convulsions The shell was about
the size of a quarter of a dollar, with
sharp edges. After being relieved of
the difficulty the Rev. Mr. Shea soon
revived. His throat was considerably
lacerated, and altogether the minister
had a narrow escape.

Poverty That Lacks the
Coats to Bay a
Lemon.
Oh, that other half of the world. If
you have never experienced it how can
you tell how it lives? There is one
incident told by a pale-faced tenement
house resident She has seen prosper
ous days, but now has, or had, only a
sick husband and four little children.
'One needs so many things!" she
sighed plaintively. "One day last
week I was out of coal and I sent out
for a bushel, but I only had eight
cents; the coal was nine. The coal man
said he would wait until I could pay
the rest Then my husband wanted a
sour drink. He had a burning fever,
poor fellow, and he wanted a lemon so
bad," she stopped her flying needle
just long enough to wipe away a tear
there were other mouths to be fed
"but I didn't have the two cents to buy
the lemon and and I couldn't get
it" Then she broke entirely down
and sobbed aloud with her apron over
her face. "Oh, it seems as if I wouldn't
have felt half so bad when I saw his
dear dead face in the coffin yesterday
if I hadn't thought how he wanted
that driuk and I could not get it! 1
wake up in the night and think of it un
til it seems as if it will drive me wild!"
Then she choked back the sobs and
hurried on with her work. The wo
rn i i . .-.triiiaga by making pants at 85

every m jment taken for tears.
But can you imagine it? A shortage
of three cents to buy necessaries of
life! The lack of two pennies to buy
a drinlftto cool the fevered thirst of a
loved one who is dying, making life a
long agony of regret! Did you ever
realize before the value of a postage

A REMARKABLE DUEL.
Fought With Blunderbusses and Up In a
Balloon.
One of the most remarkable duels
ever fought, perhaps, took place in
180S between two Frenchmen. Of
ourse the quarrel arose about a lady
a certain Mile. Tirevet who, it ap
pears, was unable to decide on which
of the two she preferred. She finally
found a way out of the difficulty by
promising to marry whichever of them
worsted the other. They thought over
the matter in a calm and judicial
spirit for a month, and at the end de
cided to fight a duel in the air. Ac
cordingly two balloons were made
exactly alike, and upon the appointed
lay each soared aloft, accompanied by
his second. They were each armed
with a blunderbuss, the agreement be
ing that they were to fire, not at each
other, but at the balloons. They arose
to the height of half a mile, and then
the preconcerted signal was given.'
One fired and missed; the other
followed suit with more disastrous
effect He hit his opponent's balloon,
which instantly collapsed, with the
result that the occupants of the car
were dashed to the earth with
frightful rapidity and instantly
killed.
IRON AND STEEL.
An .Experiment to Determine Their Lia
bility to Bust.
The comparative liability to rust of
iron and soft Bessemer steel has been
made the subject of some very close
and definite tests lately at one of the
Virginia iron and steel plants, with an
interesting result A piece of iron
plate and a similar piece of steel, both
clean aud bright, were placed in a mix
ture of yellow loam and sand, with
which had been thoroughly incorpor
ated some carbonate of soda, nitrate of
soda, ammonium chloride and chloride
of magnesium, and the earth as pre
pared was kept moist At the end of
thirty-two days the pieceu of metal
were taken out, cleansed and weighed,
when the iron was found to have lost .84
per cent of its weight and the steel .72
per cent. The pieces- were again put
in place, and on being weighed after
the lapse of twenty-eight days the
iron was found to have lost to the ex
tent of just 3.06 per cent 'of its original
weight and the steel 1.79 per cent, a
difference which must be considered of
decided importance in certain classes
of work.
HAPPY RULERS.
The Charming: amd Unaffected Royal
Couple of Greece.
The King and Queen of Greece have
been married twenty-five years, and
continue to live for each other in good,
old-fashioned affection. The Queen,
although she has brought up a family
of seven children, has preserved all the
grace of early youth. Her charming
smile softens her Slavonic beauty,
which she inherits from her father, the
Grand Duke Cons tan tine, who was one
of the handsomest men at the Russian
court. Nothing could surpass the
charm of her manners. Queen Olga
has French sympathies, and while the
Duke of Sparta and her four younger

The Worst of All' Liquors.
The Mexican pulque is the worst
drink on the face of the eirt.h. It is
the juice of a tree, and at first tastes
like spruce beer, but after fermenta
tion has ended and the alcoholic prin
ciple is fully developed in the liquid it
is not only extremely intoxicating, but
has a most abominably putrid smell,
having imbibed the animal principles
of the skin in which it is kept. It is
impossible for an American to drink it
without holding his nose, and after he
has imbibed a comparatively small
quantity he will get drunker and stay
drunk longer than on any other drink
ever manufactured.
No Doubt She Did.
Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, of New
Zealand, is by all accounts very partic
ular that his M. A. should appear al
ways after his name. A deacon in an
out-of the-waj' New Zealand township
one Sunday read to his congregation
the written notice of Mr. Hughs' forth
coming visit thus: ''The pulpit of this
church will be occupied on Sunday
next by the Rev. Hugh Price Hughs'
Ma." He added the sage reflection:
"And we have no doubt the old lady
will give us a very telling discourse."
What They Stopped For.
Bobby and Harry were brothers, 8
and 9 years of age. Coming late from
school one day their mother said:
"Why are you late, boys?" Bobby, the
younger, was usually the spokesman on
such occasions, and he answered: "We
stopped." "What did you stop for?"
said mamma. "To sec two boys fight
in'." "Indeed! And who were the
boyB?" "Harry was one." "Ah, indeed!
And who was the other?" "The other
was me." answered the unabashed
Bobby.
A Knowing; Kite.
First Boy What does my kite dodge
down to the ground that way for?

Model Locomotive Eagiaes.
The Baltimore dV Ohio Bailroad" has
just placed in service on its Chicago Di
vision three new passenger engines.
. built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
after new designs famished by theOen'l
; Superintendent of Motive Power of the
B. & O. Company. The engines weigh
113,000 pounds, have driving wheels six
feet six inches in diameter, cylinders 19
by 24 inches, and are without doubt the
finest passenger locomotives running
into the city of Chicago today. Com
panions of these new eugines have de
veloped wonderful power and speed in
hauling the famous Koyal Blue "Line
trains, which run between Now York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton, over the Philadelphia Division of
the B. & O. Kailroad. The B. & O. has
added over forty new, high class engines
to its tnotivo power equipment within
the last sixty days, aud others are under
construction. While constantly adding
engines of approved design and highest
grade to ita motive power, and passen
ger coaches of Pullman standard to its
rolling stock, the B. & O. is also expend
ing large amounts for additional second
and third tracks and endings, and im
proved facilitioj at terminal points. By
the time the World's Fair is opened for
the reception of visitors the RiO. will
be well equipped to handle, expeditious
ly, the large volume of passenger traffic
which will naturally seek this pictur
esque route from the Atlantic sea-board
to Chicago.
