from Cumberland, Md., through Bo.uthr
western Pennsylvania, over the MJe-

IT IS EVOLUTION. .
1 '
That is the Priadple ef Development at
the A. A it. C Shops.
Tbe Dsrwinlsa theory as spplled to
railroad shops Is In evidence at the A. A
N. C. railroad shops here. That explains
the process by which the shops have
gradually evolved from a mass of ill as
sorted and confused buildings Into a sys
tem of structures that has a place for
everything and in Its place. The process
has been gradual, one lmprovment follow
Ing another and the regular force of men
doing tbe greater part of tbe work, thus
keeping a reliable force on hand and
making a considerable economy. ,
The various additions and improve
ments bsve been noted from time to time
la these columns, but Master Mechanic
Green wu able to point out a number of
new features yesterday. -
An old building that hss stood near
the gate Into Griffith street has been re
built, a new iron roof being one of the
features, and is now tbe storehouse for
bolts and other small iron filings and
these are arranged so that each size can
be at once found. One corner of the
building; is enclosed and is the time
keeper's office where the time of the em
ployees, materials used and other details
are kept and which requires a thorough
system of bookkeeping as here the re
ports are made out that go to the Inter-
State Commerce Commission.
On the esst side of the mala shops the
new engine and boiler room Is being
built. This Is a substantial brick struc
ture by 86 feet, and a wall will divide
the two parts of the building. The en
gine will be placed about Jane 1st and
the power to run the new machinery
will then be adequate, the present engine
being too small. The sills of the doors
are of heavy cast Iran.
Near this new building Is s contrivance
that every machinist knows the value of.
This Is a rack for iron rods, each size
snd shapa kept to itself, snd no delsy
Is necessary for a workman to select In
a moment the artlsle required.
In tho engine room, a wall on the west
side of the room which oivlded it from
the former store room, Is being torn
oat. This will add to the size of the
engine room snd really give one more
track for engines as the track which was
nest this wall was too close for safe use.
The passage to the shops beyond will
now be through this addltlonsl space
and be a more convenient approach.
The fences around the shops are now
In order, the gates can be locked at night
and Improper access to the ysrds pre
vented. .
The Increased summer travel Is being
anticipated and several cars bsvo been
refitted snd painted and several are now
belug overhauled, among these the
"Vance." The road will be up to all the
requirements of this section.
A considerable quantity of lettuce is
being chipped In crates and satisfactory
prices are being obtained. ;
Telegraph service yesterday to New
York was defective owing to the heavy
storm of the night before,

Hospitality In Mexico la humorously
yet gratefnlly described by Mrs.
Tweedle, who relates ber experiences
In "Mexico as I Bsw IL" For hours
the tram bad been pounding along be
tween bugs Texan ranches, a dusty
and uninteresting Journey since leaving
Ban Antonio. Suddenly a man In uni
form appeared before the traveler.
Are you Mrs. Alee Tweedle?" he
asked.
I am," I answered, with an outward
show of courage, although inwardly
wondering what offense I had commit
ted. "I have come to help you at the fron
tier with your luggage." . '
I sighed with relief, thanked him and
after his departure tried to go on with
my work of manuscript reading.
We passed another Junction and an
other man stood before me.
'Are you Mrs. Alec Tweedier he
asked. .-
"I am," I replied, trembling again,
"I come," said he, "from the Interna
tional railway to bid you welcome to
Mexico."
I asked him to alt down, and we chat
ted, although not for long, because In a
fow minutes, "Are you Mrs. Alee
Tweedle V asked a third man. At that
I laughed outright -
"I come from Mr. Cloete's ranch," he
explained, "to look after and welcome
you In his name."
We began chatting about my recent
adventures,' when ' a fourth man pre
sented himself.
'Are you Mrs, Alec Tweedle?" he
asked. '
Convulsed with laughter, I could only
nod assent -
"Mr. Barrett of Sonora asked me to
meet you at the frontier and see you
safely to Snblnns," was his explana
tion. -
So, duly escorted, I went on. ,

He wos a tiny little fellow, surely not

called for his afternoon papers at the
corner of Twelfth and Market streets
many people gazed at him with mingled
amusement and pity. He had long
brown curls, wet with tbe drenching
rain, and his shrill little voice had a

an, apparently weighing close to 200
pounds, paused at tbe south side of

tbe miniature river of water and at the
passing procession of wagons and trol

The little newsboy was quick to size
up tbe situation. Running up to her, he
exclaimed: "Don't be afraid, lady. I'll

William Ing lis was a visitor at a
Scotch yacht club on the Clyde during
regatta week, and on night ha was
called on for a story. Knowing; he
says, from books and experience the
density of Scotchmen to American
iokea, he told the broadest most point
ed story he could think of- It waa the
old chestnut of tha Inebriated Irishman
who met a policeman and asked him
the time.
"Three o'clock," said the policeman.
"Ol didn't hear," said the Irishman.
"Three o'clock I" the cop yelled.
"Shure, Ot didn't bear that either."
The cop then hit him three whacks
on the head with bis club. "Did you '
hear that?" be asked.
"Shore," said Pat "Ol heard that
and Ol do be fur thlnkln' it's glad Ol
am that Ol didn't mate ye at twllve."
There was not a ripple of apprecia
tion on the rows of Scotch faces be
fore him, said Mr. Inglls. They, one
and all, were blank, and slowly each
Scotchman drained hla whisky to hide
the fact I

A large proportion of the population
of Naples live at public kitchens or
cooking stands, which are found on ev
ery block In the densely settled portions
of the town. They are generally dingy
little rooms, the walls blackened with
tbe grease and smoke of generations.
In th rear Is an old fashioned fireplace
with a number of pots and kettles, '
from which savory steam arises. The
largest Is always for macaroni, for that
Is tbe staff of life. Tbe others contain
soup and various kinds of fish and
vegetables, while on the counter, which
usually projects Into the street, the
cooked food Is spread out hi large pans
and bowls. Tbe customers come along
with pans and buckets, look over the
stock and make their selection.
The prices are remarkably low. Fish,
vegetables, .fruit and macaroni, the
chief articles of Neapolitan diet, are
cheaper here, It Is said, than In any
other place in tbe world, and at one of
these cooking shops a good dinner can
be obtained for 2 cents and enough for
a family for 5 cents. Chicago Record-
