It a part of the water's Suppo to 18 wa Shore. On either side of this o 18 lined with rocks, impassable barrier point is known as times the Knob is at the malnland by Davis One of the most important advantages t be gained by the cut off, the shortening of the distance, is the re duction of the grades. On the old line train leaves Ogden at an elevation of 4,301 feet above sea level. A drop of about 100 feet is made in the twenty-six miles to Corinne. Then comes a climb of over 700 feet in about twenty-three miles. ‘That brings the train to Promontory, one of the most famous points on the transcontinental wystem, for it was there that the last spike was driven joining the Union and the Cen tral Pacific West from nine-mile ning the shore which form an almost to such a project. The Strong's Knob. Some island, separated from strait new a Promon descent t tory comes a thirty- Kelton, which has an elevation of 4 here beging the sharp climb of the Kelton hill, about ten mi' in length and a rise of about 500 feet. Lu has about the same elevation as the point of Kelton hill, but the forty-eight miles include a drop of about 150 feet to Terrace and a similar rise. 1t will n that the road as stands calls for some heavy work, crossing Promontory and Kelton hills whether west or eastbound, Pusher engines are constantly in service at the former place. The new line will do away with all of this From Ogden to ast shore of the lake, a Qistance of soventeen miles, there is a fall of 100 feet. From Strong's Knob to Lucin the elevation increases 500 feet in fifty-eight miles, be ke It now R e Grade. The cut-off will make it possible to re- duce the maximum grade 1 per cent, This great saving, with the elimination of the curve around the north end of the lake and the decrease of thirty-nine miles in the distance, are the returns which are to b had for the $3,000,000 which it is estimated the improvement will cost Tho stretch down from Ogden is said (o be a sandy beach with brid across Weber riv Then a ten-mile trestle will be built on piles driven in the sand bottom of the lake to Promontory Point. This is a rugged stretch of rock, which extends into the lake from the north, Where the line crosses the Point will come two miles of construction in rock. West of the Point a twenty-mile trestle will be built to the mainland, touching Strong's Knob, near the whore. From there is the stretch of fifty- cight miles up into Lucin, a greater part of this beiug across the Great desert e a CAREER OF SAMUEL K NS, Ev in Life o L erin dent of Motive . A remarkable feature about the change in the superintendent of motive power and muchinery of the Union Pacific is the fact that an eastern man is to be brought west The usual procedure is for the western men to go east to enthuse new life and blood into the methods of operation of the castern roads, It is said to be a rare oc- currence for an eastern man to be called to an i{mportant position in a western of- ficial family However n Pacific Samuel who comes Higgins, the superin tendent to succeed J. H. Me- Connell, the announcement of whose resig- nation was made in The Bee last week, is a young man and xaid to be possessed of no small amount of push and energy, to her with & thorough training for the work in store for him Mr. Higgins was 41 years old Februa 19 und lays some claim to being a western man, because of the fact that San Fran alsco was his birthplace. His rallway sery- fce began in the shops of the w York, Lake Erle & Western in 1881, From an apprentice he rose to & firstclass machinist, then assistant foroman and la Kgeneral foreman of the shops at Susquehanna. On October 1, 158 he bec assistant en. glueer of the motive department which post he held until appointed division mechanic. On April 18, 1892, he became istant super- intendent of motive power for the same road. He went to a superintendency of motive power and machine for the Le Bigh Valley road on Fobruary 1, 1894, which place ho held until called the Unton Pacitic. It is understood that the change 18 to become effective April tendent Higging' headquarters will be in Omaha, as were those of his predecessors though it {s rumored that the duty of pur- chasing all of the motive power for the Harriman syndicate may be added to his work H. D. Taylor will follow Mr. superintendent of motive chinery for the Lehigh Taylor goes to the Lehigh Valley from the Calumet and Hecla Mining company.

Miss Norman's clever imit and Impersonations are as pointed and human as one sible to make them. Charles Dickson, who has for some years been in high favor as a light comedian, has the assistance of pretty and talentel Nell McEwen in presenting a new vaude- ville sketch that is not at all lacking in entertainiug qualities. Prevost and Prevost put up an eccentric turn with a series of laughs and surprises. The Kleists give a musical act full of novelties. Charles Leonard Fletcher's monologue is somewhat | different from the usual “stunts” in that line. John Johns, u comedian; Hanlon and Singer, ring performers, and the always popular kinodrome complete the bill, Minco's Troeader “The Vanity Fair' appear at Miaco's Trocadero vesterday, and in its place Rush's “French Beauties” opened a second week of thelr engagement While the same people that pleased the patrons of the house during last week pro- vided the entertainment there was a com- plete change of program Two new burlesques are produced and both proved to be full of good singing and comical situations. All the specialty peo ple gave new acts and many of them im- proved by the change. Marie Rogers sang several new songs and made the hit of the bill, being recalled several times “The French Beauties" will appear all week until Saturday night, when Manager Jake Rosenthal will put on one of the big mateur entertalnments for which he big gathered at the afternoon and last ring, which proved last week's excel- an act on the pro with the approval meet ves tions company failed to This amateur show will range of program and it is promised that there will not be a single dull act on the entire bill. Among other things there will be several athletic events. Preparations for “amateur night” have been golng on for several weeks. CONCERT AT ST. PHILOMENA'S dral Well Filled hreat ing Wenther—! Music by the Cholr, include a wide red The' threatening weather last night was all that prevented St. Philomena’s cathedral from being filled to overflowing with people to hear the concert given by the cholr of that church, as the sale of tickets was almost equal to the seating capacity of the building The first number on the the “Kyrie” and “Christe,” from Marzo's mass. It was sung by Clinton Miller and John Brennan in a manner which only the | sacred character of the place prevented from causing an encore. No numbers wero encored on account of the concert being glven in the church, but the work of all of the participants was of the highest order, A legend by Carl Bohm was the selection glven by the violinist, C. F. Steckelberg, and following this J. E. Butler's arrange ment of the “Rock of Ages” was sung by a quartet composed of Clinton Miller, John Brenpan, James Rush and Thomas Swift A double number, the “March Funebre by Chopin, and an intermezzo, by Macbeth, was rendered by J. E. Butler at the organ. The first part of the program closed by the singing of the “Sanctus” and the **Bene dictus,” from Marzo's mass, by Miss Veronica Doherty, assisted by the choir The second part of the program opened with a double violin number, a madrigal | by Simonette and “Cavatina,” by Raff, ren- | dered by Mr. Steckelberg. Then Mr. Garelssen sang 'O Holy Father,” by Schu- bert, and “Jerusalem,” by Parker. Hamil- ton Gray's “Dream of Paradise” was sung by Mrs, T. A. Cobry, with violin obligato by Mr. Steckelberg. The profound voice | of Jules Lumbard was heard to advantage in the song, “I'm Child of a King" The last number was the “Credo,” from Marzo's mass, in which solos were sung by Miss Genevieve Croft, “Deum de Deo;" Mrs. T. obry, “Et Incarnatus ' and Mr Switt, “Et in Spiritum SPECIAL TRAIN OF HOBOES 'wenty Tram program was Police Capture Statlon, A squad of police under command of Ser- geants Welsenberg and Bebout weut on a special Burlington train to the sandhouse at Gibson station late Sunday nlght arrested twenty hoboes.

It will clear for Nome and it | expected that the inttial trip will take | nearly a month. Later in the season the trip will be made in about two weeks Passengers on the first boat will not only have an unusually long journey, but will | encounter the dangers of the icefloes of the lower Arctic waters which will be | drifting south for weveral weeks. The | passengers will be required to pay $100 | over the regular fare for the trip, owing | to the extra risk to the company and the extra provisions. Mr. Coons will take nove of his equipment from the United States, as the excessive freight rates on the first boat will more than offset the added cost at Nome | ¥ Tell | Arriving at Nome he will secure his outfit and hire the men required to work the mines of the company. An overland trip of sixty-five miles will be made to Teller City, which is far from the mines of the company. This trip will require three or four days, and can be made better early in the than later when the snow begins In the summer the trip from N Teller City will be made by boats, but the packets will not start until | some time in June. When the line between Nome and Teller City is opened the mines will be only fitteen miles from the port of debarkation for the mining district in which the mines are located | According to Mr. Coons, mining in the | Alaska districts is a continuous perform | ance from the dawn of day until its close that s, from about May 15 to October 15 With the hours of daylight never ending | in this time, two shifts of men are em- ployed in placer mining. These men receive | an average of $10 per day and in the season they are able to earn about $1,200 each From October to May they hibernate and the money they receive during the sum mer months Is scarcely enough to sustaln life during the time of darkness. Last season there was an oversupply of men in the district, but where one could obtaln work under any conditions the wages were maintained company cor- to go States n Nome to r. not season to melt « n « try. The mines of the company are located in what is known as the Gold Run country, across the Alaska line from the Klondike. | The district fs but little developed at present, but the work that has been done shows that gold exists in quantities which will make the claims as valuable as those | of the more celebrated district. The men on the Gold Run are more fortunate than | those to the east, as they come under the laws of the United States and not of those of Canada, which require a percentage of the “turn in" to be paid into the Dominion treasury. DANDRUFF CAUSED BY A GERM, A New Discovery that Kills the Germ and Prevents Balduess. Pretty near all the hair preparations for danrduff bave some merit in allaying itch- ing of the scalp, and in being a fairly good dressing for the bair, but there is only one that recognizes what causes dandruff, fall- ing hair, and baldness, and that destroys that cause, a little germ—and that is New- bro's Herpicide. This germ eats its way into the scalp, down to the hair root, where it saps that vitality, causing dandruff as it digs up the scalp into little white scales. Unless it Is destroyed there's no permanent stopping of falling hair and cure of dandruft and baldness. Newbro's Herpicide kills the germ. “‘Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.” EVERY TUKSDAS.
