Justice Cole late this afternoon inquir- ed into the matter of the alleged insanity of Thomas J. Park, the man who claims to be the inventor of a thousand-mile-an- hour steam engine. He is a middle-aged white man and is said to be a mechanic. He was employed as laborer on the new railway connecting Washington and Chesa- peake ch during the past year and is known in the viclnity of Chesapeake Beach “Missouri.” When he first appeared there no one knew him or knew whence he had come, although later on he said he was from Missour!, and that he had relatives in Tennessee. The man called at police headquarters a short time ago with a voluminous roll of typewritten papers under his arm and in- formed Chief Clerk Arthur Kemp that he had the plans and specifications for a rail- road that would eclpse anything of the kind extant. He wanted a permit to con- struct the road in the District and stated that his cars would be run at the rate of at least 1,000 miles in sixty minutes. He further stated that they would be propelled by an engine which will run on water as as well as on terra firma. Park's hearers seemed a bit incredulous at this as- tenishing revelation, and he remarked that he could establish the truth of his as- sertions by reference to the typewritten series of specifications which he had with him. Cars to Be Air-Tight. He was not given an opportunity to fur- ther discuss the merits of his invention, however, but was forthwith steered down- stairs into the office of Sanitary Officer Frank, whose function is to look after all indigent insane persons discovered in the District of Columbia. To Mr. Frank, Park insisted on reiterating his statements and proceeded to exhibit his so-called specific: tions in substantiation of his representa- tions. Mr. Frank listened attentively for awhile and finally asked how a human be- ing could possibly be transported over land or water at the rate of 1,060 miles an hour and remain alive. “Would not such rapi¢ transit take the breath out of a man? queried the sanitary officer. “Never, never! By no means,” replied the inventor of the locomotive, with great emphasis. “The cars are to be air-tight; they are to be se- curely boxed up. and it will be impossible for any air to get to the passengers, he. Mr. Frank regarded Park's claims as i putable evidence of a disordered men- lity, and he accordingly summoned two the police surgeons to pass upon the e. These gentlemen on examination shed the conclusion that Park was a ctim of a mental trouble, known as de- sional! insanity. He was thereupon trans- Elizabeth's ital on a permit, there confined di y be ng a judicial inquiry into his mental to Proceedings Instituted. A petition in the usual form was at once d filed in the clerk's office by strict Commissioners, in which it is alleged that Park is insane and unfit to large in the community.

A letter has been received from James E. Smith, well known in Georgetown, who is now a member of the 32d United States Vol- unteer Infantry, on duty in the Philippine Islands. The letter states that the reg!- ment is fast spreading terror among the insurgents or ladrones (robbers) throughout the province of Balanga and the province of Pampanga. The regiment is operating in both provinces and its work of destroying the roving bands of insurgents has been so complete that it is said the district once overrun by insurrectos is now the most peaceful of any on the island. The cease- less work of the regiment has wrought this great change. As the last of the Philippine army is disappearing, the officers of the regiment are becoming diplomats. As soon a3 a town is taken a civil government is established, and with that peace soon fol- lows. “On the 17th of last mont! states, “a detachment of the left Balan- ga on a scout for insurgents. They had proceeded but a short distance when they came in contact with a band of ladrones, capturing eight and disarming them before the rebels were aware that American sol- diers were in the vicinity.

New York: E. P. Dutton & Co. Miss Bowman's acquaintance with Mr. Dodgson was such that her right to pre- sent a portrait of that genial lover of chil- dren may be accepted without question. It {s something, too, to obtain a glimpse of the personality that induced Mr. Dodg- son to write his nursery classic. This lit- Ue book contains numerous fac simile let- ters written to Miss Bowman and others by “Lewis Carroll,” together with sketches and photographs by him. It affords that intimate view of the mathematician-au- thor's life which he reserved for his clos- est friends, and forms a fitting appendix to whatever more ambitious biographies of the gentle worker who has recently a book which is both guide and interpreter. It may be called, in the vernacular of the higher literary atmosphere of the time, an “appreciation.” It seeks to present Paris as a complex system, requiring study and absorption before it can be understood a1.d enjoyed. The greater portion of the work is devoted to “The Life and the People,” in the course of which attention is paid to the restaurants, the theaters, the Latin quarter, the men of letters, the great shops and the homes. The purely descriptive portions bear the stamp of an accuracy born of residence and observation. The more literary phases of the book are a trifle for- mal, yet enough of the Parisian atmos- phere is reproduced to afford the reader a ape of actual touch with the gay cap!- tal. RAILROAD OPERATIONS-HOW TO KNOW HEM; From # Study of the Accounts and Sta- tistics.” By J. Shirley Eaton, statistician of the Lehigh Vauley railroad. New York: The Rall- road Gazette. ‘The ordinary passenger on a railroad train never dreams of the enormous compiexity of the system which permits him to ride at his ease in a palatiai car guarded by every krown device for his safety and surrounded by every comfort. Nor does the home-stay- ing person have occasion to appreciate the vast system involved in the business of hauling freight about the country to enable him to eat and dress cheaply and well. Be- hind these two ‘uninformed individuals looms a mechanism which is growing in size and intricacy every year, and which represents the accumulated wisdom of a whole generation of the most active work- ers which this country has produced. Mr. Eaton, who is welk known in Washington, having received his earlier education here, has devoted himself 0 a study of railroad statistics, and this beok is a result of his labors. He offers even the non-professional gone to rest may have already appeared or may yet appear. THE WRITING TABLE OF THE TWENTIETH OBNTURY; Being an Account of Heraldry, Art, Engraving ‘and Extablished Form for the Corre: spondent. By F. Schuyler Mathews. ww York: Brentano's. Washington: Brentano’ ‘This is a veritable edition de luxe of the old-fashioned “‘r2ady letter writer.” It does not, to be sure, undertake to instruct the struggling correspondent in the mysteries of polite expression beyond the rendering of ceremonial forms according to the high- est cult. It assumes that the reader knows all about how to “propose to a young lady hom he has mat only once,” how to “ap- ply for a situation,” how to “ask permis- sion to escort a friend to a church candy pull,” and the like. But he may not know just how to emblazon his stationery with the arms and devices of his ancestors, or how to hold the seal while affixing the im- print of his family greatness, or how to summon his friends to the wedding of his daughter. The book becomes, within these imitations, a complete guide for the lover of true form, a thread to prevent the loss of way in the labyrinth of modern condi- tions. It bears the stamp of correct selec- tion, and should afford an open sesame to the innermost circles of exclusive soctety. PARIS AS IT IS; an Intimate Account of Its Peo- .

The Iowa Association held its regular monthly meeting at Typographical Temple last evening, a large proportion of the mem- bers, as well as many friends of the organ- ization, being present. After a short busi- ness session, at which the old executive committee was re-elected and Major Ander- son was again chosen as treasurer of the association, the speaker of the evening, Rep- resentative Thomas Hedge of Burlington, Iowa, was introduced. Mr. Hedge delivered a brief but highly en- tertaining and witty eulogy on the state of Towa, saying it was the first great truly American free state. In support of this ccntention he cited the fact that the orlg- inal states on the Atlantic coast were peo- pled by the best men and women that the old world could boast, but that each com- munity had its own prejudices, its own characteristics, and transacted business each in its own way. When the pioneers of civilization in the west began to drift from their homes in the east out into the trackless prairies and settle in the new lands they were brought together and were blended. Each had some effect upon the other, so that In time they came to have the same aims and purposes and the same ways of carrying out their chosen ends. In this way Iowa, the first state state estab- lished in the Louisana purchase, came to be the first real American state, in that it embraced within its borders those people who were the best entitled to be called real Americans. Mr. Hedge closed his discourse by con- gratulating every one present who had the good fortune to be born or to have lived in his state. His remarks were received with marked evidences of appreciation on the part of his auditors, After a vocal solo by Miss Jolly, Mr. Ed- ward McKitterick, deputy auditor for the Treasury Department, spoke briefly. He was followed by Mr. Samuel V. Proudiitt, who indulged in more praise for Iowa and orches whichGh,1 from from franadnad an Iowans. President W. M. Wilson of the association also made an address and Mrs. Jacobson gave a musical selection, and this part of the program was then brought to a close. A social session followed, during which most of those present took advantage of the opportunity to greet the speakers. ‘The officers chosen, in addition to the president, were: Robert Alton, secretary, and M. T. Anderson, for the fourth term, treasurer. The following executive commit tee was-also elected: Frank W. Carden, first district; A. D. Gaston, second district; J. P. Reed, third district; A. J.
