J. T. McNary laving for Us objvct the raising of money for tho organ fund of tho Fim resbyterlan church. Quite a sum was realized but not so large as would ave been had tho weather been more IcAsant. detectives were put to work Secretary of State to try to discover if some clerk in the department was not responsible for the publication.

The matter reached a delicate point recently when', several Washington correspondents mode a protest to Secretary Gresham against Private Secretary Landis. Tbe alleged Chicago "scoops" on State Department news became so numerous that they irritated Mr. Cleveland also, aod he called Secretary Gresham to the White House and gravely discussed preven- tatlve measures. Mr. Clevelatd suggested the propriety of reorganizing the staff of clerks holding confidential positions in tbe Department of State.

But thus far Secretary Gresham has taken no step in that direction. In the midst of all this Private Secretary Landis, It Is said, came very nearly voluntary resigning. The assurance of confidence given him by his chief and others In authority prevented him from taking such action. Mr. Landis is one of the most popular and obliging attaches of the State Department.

He is a member of the Press Club, and also, by virtue of his office, is brought Into contact dally with newspaper men. But no person well acquainted with him suspects for an instant that in his zealtooblige ho has Inadvertently "given away" State secrets. Most of the '-'secrets" from the executive departments which find their way into the newspapers, get there through Senators and Congress, men, who, by virtue of their offices, become possessed of them. It la now definitely settled that such was the Thurston story. Will VlHit Here.

The military salute required in almost all civilized countries is nearly the same. Perhaps in Germany, however, the reflations are somewhat more stringent. A soldier on meeting the emperor his TO stand still, face about ami rcaiain with hand raised for from twelve to twenty paces before his majesty approaches, and for the same distance after he has passed. In Belgium an officer has to do the same thinfr for thu king and subalterns for generals, though ten paces only are required for tbe latter case.

it ubont an hour to jjut, stoaas onouirh on ordinary locomotive cn- fjinu it, from colil water. Itisfc. familiar fact, that, tho water in tho boilers of stoani lire ensrinos in cities ifi kept hot while vhooujrincisstimdingf in the liousi' by pipe connection with c- boiler in the cellar uudei'nealh; when the engine its own fire is lighted. Locomotive engines that running' regularly in the roundhouse itt the intervals between runs with their fires banked. The fires are kept cleaned, but.

they. may not be hauled for weeks. The practice varies somewhat in this re- sped. On some roads fires aro haulec. oneu a week, on other roads they ana kept up in engines for three or four weeks or more continuonsly.

A locomotive engineer on one of the fastest runs out of New York says that. he has never seen nn engine that would run as fust as he would like to ride. No apprehension apparently is felt bjr the engineer of a fast engine. Calmness is one of his most noticea- ble traits; and if he worries at all it is because he has got a hot box, or -something has happened so that may.Jiot he able to make the time, and not' bo- cause bo is going through the air at fifty, sixty, seventy 7niles an hour. But it should be understood that none buS a man of perfect nerve is likely reach the footboard of a fast eug-ine.

There is not. vast difference between running at and at day- Signal lig-hls at night u.ro plainer be seen at a much greater distance ihao day The engineer must, of eoursc, keep constantly in iniiid where he is, he comes to know tho country just a.s a pilot knows his landmarks in i.he dark; and bo lias Uiis ad- vnntagv of the pilot that he ea.n't very well jrcti oul of the channel. Most en- triuecrs prefer day runs, because it seems inoru natural to work in Hue daytime, and it is pleasautor. Almost all locomotive engineers prefer fast run to slow one. The fust trains ure the blue ribbons of the road.

Aside from the honor of running fast train, there is a very substantial advantage in the hours. If an engineer simply stepped into his cab in tbe station and stepped out again on his return, any run might do well enough, but he doesn't do he goes to the roundhouse before train timii and looks over the engine, und sees that it is in condition and properly supplied for tho run, and jntivory way and he runs the engine to the station. All this takes time. On his return he runs the engine back to the roundhouse; this takes time, too, though not so much as the time spent before run; but tog-ether these periods adiS. materially to tbe length of the engl- neer's hours.

Taking these duties into account, the (rre.it of a fast run arc manifest; the shorter the time spent on the ro.vl, the shorter thetotaJ time. There is a common impression thaS no two locomotive engines work just alike, even though made from the same patterns. A locomotive engineer of long experience says that tho impression is correct, lie says, by way of U- lustruLion. that two high-parade watches 1 of the same pattern, and supposed just alike, may not work the way. One may not vary half minute'in six months and so be, perfect timekeeper, while the other may vary a minute in a month.

It is so with engines; they do jiot work just alike. One may and run bolter than the other. The slightest tion in finish or adjustment might be sufficient to cause this. When the new engine has been run a year or so it goes to the fchop 1.0 overhauled. With it coes a report ol the engineer who has rnn it on the engine's characteristics and perform a sce.

If the engine has developed defects they can usually' be renicdio'! 32. this overhauling, and it may be ihai. the engine comes out on the road as smart as of Crufc. "You seem to have all tlje Jate novels. Jimson.
