A MONSTER ENGINE.
The American Locomotive com

in Schenectady tho most powerful
locomotive In tho world, a mam
moth Mallet articulated compound
engine, capable of developing a max
imum horse power of 3,750 suf
ficient to generate electricity for
lighting purposes for a small-sized
city and powerful enough to haul a
train of 100 loaded freight cars of
fifty tons capacity each. Tho fire
box, Incidentally, is the Blze of an
average living room in a metropoli
tan flat.
The engine is tho first of six to
be supplied the Delaware and Hud
son company for use on Its local di
vision. It will be housed in Carbon
dale. In 1904 one was built; for the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which
subsequently attracted attention at
,the St. Louis Exposition. It creat
ed interest because of its "freakish"
construction and there and then
was predicted a failure. However,
its performances have substantiated
tho claims of the builders.

A Diplomatic Reply.
An Eastern potentate once asked a
group of his courtiers which they
thought tho groater man, himself or
his father. At first he could elicit no
reply to so dangerous a question. At
last a wily old courtier said, "Your
father, sire, for, though you are equal
to your fathor In all other respects, In
this ho is superior to you, thnt ho
had a greater son than any you havo."
He was promoted on the spot.

ilARK TWAIN 2TEAE DEATH.
Humorist Loees Conscious
nessDoctor Without Hope.
Redding, Conn., April 21. Samuel L.
CleuieiiH (Murk Twain) lost conscious-
news this morning for the first time,
during his Illness, and his physicians I
abandoned hope. They said that they
doubted If the celebrated humorist
could survive until sunset. Restora
tives and stimulants which had been
of some benefit before seemed to have
no effect on lilm.
Dr Edward Qulntnrd. Mr. Clemens'
physician, was called to Redding by
his assistant. Dr. Robert H. Ilalscy,
who has been attending Mr. Clemens
constantly since his return to Redding
from Bermuda. Dr. Qulntnrd found
the patient's condition much worse.
A statement was Issued from the
Clemens house signed by Drs. Quln
tnrd and Halsey. In which It was said
that Mr. Clemens was sinking and that
there wns no evidence of any rally.
At tho bedside were Mr. Clemens'
daughter Clara and the hitter's hus
band, Osslp Gabrllowltseh, the pianist,
besides the doctors and tho nurses.
MATTY'S "FADEAWAY."
How the Giants' Star Pitcher Mastered
Its Delivery.
"Those persons who Imagine that
iascball is a snap or some special
gift of nature should have been in the
training camp of the New York Giants
a. few years ago and their ideas woujd
have changed;" says Hugh S. Fuller
ton in tho American Magazine. "Early
in the training season the word hod
flashed around the circuit, 'Matty's
nrm Is gone.'
"Translated, that means a revision
of all the pennant calculations of all
the clubs in the National league. If
Mathewson's nrm really was perma
nently injured the New York club
censed to bo a championship factor. I
wandered out on to the training field
a few days later, where nearly forty j
men were hard at work. Over at ono
side a graceful, handsome, boyish look
ing mnn was throwing slowly and
with evident caution to a young catch-!
er. Slowly, and studying every move!
In order to avoid Jerking or twisting a
damnged shoulder, ho kept pitching,
trying to 'throw tho soreness out.' He
had drawn a little cross in the dirt
upon which he pivoted his right foot,
and two feet In front of that and a
foot to the left was a hole in the sand.
As he threw he swung 'off his stride,'
and, Instead of planting his left foot
straight lu front, he swung It Into the
hole to the left. He had changed bis
pitching motion to accommodate the
sore shoulder and prevent adding to
the strain. Presently he swung his
arm slowly overhand. The ball floated
away, seemed to hesitate in midair,
then dropped downward and to tho
right with n flow, twisting curve mo
tion. "'Here! What's that, Matty?' I
called to him.
" 'That's the fader.' he replied, smil
ing. "I had read of the 'fadeaway' and
believed it ono of the spring nature
fakes evolved by imaginative report
ers. But it was true. Mathewson,
realizing that he might never again bo
strong enough to pitch the fast jump
ball or the wonderful fast curve that
had made lilm the greatest pitching
sensation of years, had deliberately
set to work and by steady, persistent
practice hail evolved a now 'system of
slants' by wldch he came near revolu
tionizing pitching. Hour after hour,
despite the deadenlug pain in his shoul
der, ho kept at It. Pitching, pitching,
twisting his hand a little less, a little
more, then ten times to u spot two
Inches to the left or the right, to find
how tho ehungo in strldo would affect
tho ball, ho worked until ho duvelopcd
ono of tho most puzzling curves over
pitched. How many hours of suffer
ing and hard work were required to
perfect his fadeaway and mnko him
again one of the greatest pitchers no
ono knows."
Ibsen's Posthumous Works.
Honrlk Ibsen's posthumous works
havo Just been published In Norway.
They consist of a collection of verse,
biographical material and sketches of
the plots and morals of his plays, as
well as the text of tho plays as first
complotod, the last showing tho great
Importance Ibsen attributed to careful
planning of his plays In advance and
to thorough revision.

CONSERVATION BILL PASSED.
It Authorlzss President to Make With
drawals of Public Lands. .
Washington. April 'JL-The first of
the administration conservation meas
ures, the bill nut hording the, president
to make withdrawals of public lands
In certain cases, wns passed by the
house.
Lack of confidence In the genuine
ness of tho conservation Ideas of the
committee on public lands, of which
Representative Moudcll of Wyoming Is
chairman, was demonstrated by tho
elimination from tho measure of tho
only two committee amendments of
Importance.
One of them provided "that such
withdrawals shall not affect the legal
rights of any settler or entry man ac
quired prior to such withdrawals,"
and tho other provided "that upon res
toration of any such lauds the equita
ble rights shall attach as to rival
claimants to any bona fide claimant
who prior to such withdrawals Initi
ated a claim thereto and made valu
able Improvements thereon."
Dozens of amendments were offered
by members from the west, who wish
ed to soften the bill and limit its scope
lu a number of respects. They were
Invariably unsuccessful, the Democrat
ic strength, with those Republicans
who have become to be known ns In
surgents, uniformly voting against the
regulars, who stood by the public
Innds committee.
Bitter complaint was made by Rep
resentative Humor of Idaho and others
thnt the conservation policy as It
seemed to be interpreted by the house
today would "make a howling wilder
ness of the west."
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York declared thnt no attempt wns
being made to limit the activities of
the honest homesteader.
"But an attempt Is being made," ho
said, "to drive out the crooks who
have placed their dirty hnnds on the
public domain."
HAVENS WON'T RUN AGAIN.

nt his home nfter his splendid victory
over George W. Aldrldge. He will take

rying about tho boom that has sprung
up for his nomination for governor.
His friends, however, are enthusiastic
and say he will certainly be nominated
by the Democratic pnrty.
Mr. Havens hns been literally flood
ed with telegrams and letters of con
gratulation. Congressman Eugene N.
Foss of Massachusetts, who spoke
here In behalf of Havens, wired as
follows :
"Heartiest congratulations on your
great victory. How many such victo
ries before our Republican friends will
understand thnt the people demand the
fulfillment of pledges for an honest
reduction of the tariff? You will have
a great reception in Washington."
