INTERIOR Railroad from Tidev Corni New Yo The Cougo railroad lias been com pleted at last. It has cost hundreds of lives and a vast sum of money. Eight years ago last March the first sod was, turned for the building of this railroad, and on March 16, this year, the locomotive stood at last on the shore of Stanley Pool, at Dolo, the in land terminus of the road. From this point the 50 steamboats that are ply ing on the upper Congo may load with freight brought by the cars and carry it many hundreds of miles on the main river on its northern and south ern tributaries to the heart of inner Africa. The great fact is that 10,000 miles of navigable waterways in the interior of Africa have been placed in steam communication with America and Europe by the completion of this ^ railroad. The starting point of the railroad is Matadi, 90 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Steamships from Europe of 3,000 tons burden easily ascend the lower Congo to Matadi, where they tie np at the wharf and transfer their cargoes to the freight cars near at hand. Next comes the railroad, 240 miles long, built around the long se ries of impassable rapids and cataracts in the lower Congo, It is a wonderful system of water ways, and a fleet of fiat-bottomed) Stern-wheel steamers are now plying on this gieat network of rivers. Stan ley Pool?has"*been aptly called the window through which the world may look out upon the whole of inner tropical Africa. Starting from Stan ley Pool the steamer may travel for days'and weeks on these highways, threading all the streams as far as they are indicated on the map and penetrating deep into the savannas and forests of inner Africa, ono of the greatest rubber regions in the world and abounding with ivory and other rich resources. All the news that has been yet re ceived of the fortunate completion of the railroad is'contained in this brief despatch which was telegraphed from Stanley Pool on March 16 to the coast by Civil Engineer Gorria, the director in Africa of the work: ;'Thc locomotive arrived to-day at Dolo." " This despatch' was forwarded by the mail steamer to Major Thys, the direc tor general of the Congo State at Brussels, and he at once telegraphed the glad tidings to^King Leopold, Mr. Stanley and otherpmen in Europe who have been the promoters of the enter prise. Their replies are printed in j the last number of the official organ of the Congo State. The king simply says: "I am rejoiced at the great news and send you my warmest congratula tions." Mr. Stanley replied: ''Your glorious news rejoiced me beyond all expression. ?1 Belgium may well be proud of having completed the first railroad in equatorial Africa. I send my warmest felicitations to the king, to the directors of the railroad and to the'persevering Belgian people. May . God shower benedictions upon your noble work." It was Stanley who wrote 13 years ago that the upper Congo would hard ly be worth sixpence to the world of commerce till this railroad was built, for he did not believe that anything but ivory would stand the excessive cost of transportation on the heads of men around the 233 miles of cataracts which the railroad would circumvent. He was not quite correct in this prog nostication; for a vast quantity of rub ber has been carried around the cata racts and sold in Europe at a good profit. But now that the railroad is built, the world will be able to utilize for the first time a large variety of other pro ducts, such as cotton and palm oil, the forests of gum producing trees, the ebony and dyewoods. and best of all, the inexhaustible rubber resources that make the Congo basin one of the richest of tropical regions. The rail- ? road brings the commercial world into ' easy communication with 20,000,000 j of moderately industrious people, many thousands of whom have been doing good service for some years in the collection of rubber for export, and whose field of usefulness, both for themselves and for thc trading na tions, will now be vastly widened. .It took a great deal of courage, pluck and faith, as well as money, to achieve thc present great result. Nearly all thc engineering difliculties | on the whole route were grouped along j the first 20 miles of the road. Less than five miles of thc road were com- j pleted in thc first year, and nearly ev ery inch of it was blasted out of the toughest of quartzite forming the Ma tadi hill, that towers precipitously above the Congo. Every day scores of men were suspended by ropes on the face of this unyielding rock, drilling thc hVns that were to be filled with blasting powder. It is seldom that a stretch of railroad has been built in any part of the world under more difficult conditions, and when at last the 200 white men and 2,000 na- 1 OF AFRICA. vater to Stanley J^oo] xLeted. rk Sun. tives who were engaged on the wort turned away from the Congo and uf the Mpozi valley, to gain thc platear above bridge after bridge of steel had to be thrown across the tortuous river. The engineers said that a third of thc work was done, a third of the cos? expended, when the first 20 miles ol the rails were laid, and in the first week after they reached the plateau they pushed the road ahead a mile and a half.* One great trouble was the laboi question. Thc Congo natives living along the route would not engage in the rough work of grading and laying tracks. Agents had to be sent all over Africa, wherever it was thought that natives might be hired as track layers and laborers. At first the army of workmen was secured -from Zanzi bar, Senegal, Lagos, Accra and the coasts of Liberia, Dahomey and An gola. They were under the superin tendence of over 200 European car penters, blacksmiths and other arti sans, who were sent to the Congo to superintend departments and show the natives how to carry on the various kinds of labor. But the work was very hard and the climate very trying to all the natives of other parts of Africa, and hundreds of them died and other hundreds des?ited. Out of 4,500 men who were engaged on the Congo railroad from early in 1890 to May, 1892, about 900 perished. Nat urally this frightful mortality made it very difficult to replenish the ranks of the workmen. At last an unusual ex periment was made, and it resulted disastrously. . It was well known that Chinese coo lies had proved to be very useful rail road hands during the construction of our Central Pacific and of various other roads in the Dutch East Indies. They were sober and intelligent work men, and the Congo State authorities decided to test their efficiency in trop ical Africa. Late in 1894, 520 Chi nese were landed at Matadi and at once went to work grading the road bed. The first reports of the experi ment were very favorable, for the coo lies worked willingly and with intelli gence, but the}7 had no reserve of strength against the trying effects of pioneer conditions of living and a bad climate. It was not long before they began to die, and those who kept on their feet were hardly able to lift their shovels. So the Asiatics were sent back home. Chinese labor was a fail ure on the Congo, though it has been successful in tropical* East Africa among the coffee plantations of Usam bara, where the Germans have em ployed about 500 coolies with excel lent results. The labor problem was solved at last in a happy manner. Thc Congo natives for many months had watched the imported blacks at their labors, and a few of them were finally induced to ply the pick and the shovel. They did fair work under white superinten dence, and they liked the bits of silver that wore given them once a month, for they could exchange them at ;he stores for merchandise. Their friends decided they would like some silver, too, and it was not long before thc lo cal labor market supplied all the hands needed on the railroad. From 4,GOD to 5,000 Congocs have becu in thc service of the enterprise, and it is they who have built the larger part of the railroad. In other parts of barba rous Africa, also, native labor is uow used on an enormous scale in the white enterprises. Thc brain of a white man and the brawn of thc Afri can arc working together to reclaim the Dark Continent. All the steel bridges crossing thc little rivers were built in Europe and put together in Africa. Some scores of station buildings for the stopping places along the route and houses for the white personnel were also con structed in Europe and taken in parts to the Congo. As the work progressed thc health of thc entire force, both white and black, has been better safe guarded, and the mortality for twu years |;ast has been comparatively small. Tne high death rate of thc first years, slow progress of the work in its early stages, and its large cost were effective weapons in thc hands of the enemies of thc enterprise in Bel gium, who did all they could to wreck it financially. Utterly false statements as to thc progress and condition of the road were circulated in a part of the press, and it seemed likely for a while that work would have to oe suspended. Since February. 1890, however, ca lumnious voices have been hushed for thc government commission that was sent to thc Congo made so favora hie a report that the government anti people of Belgium have done ail thal was necessary to insure thc completion of the road. There will now bc a linc opportunity for tourists of the adventuresome sor! to catch a glimpse of thc lower Conge valley, shoot a hippopotamus at Stan ley Tool, and return to the sea breezes i? a few days. Thc railroad invited this traffic long before its completion. For a long time one train a day ha? started from each of thc termini. From our point of view it is slow go ing, for the trains run only in thc daylight, and for a while, at least, they will take two days to cover thc 24i> miles between Matad i and Stanley Pool. But this slow pace is lightning speed compared with the past system of travel. Many millions of pounds of freight, including fifty steamboats in small pieces, have been carried on thc heads ol' men between tidewater and the pool, and they have been three weeks on the way. To-day thc inner part of the Congo basin is with in three weeks of Europe by an all steam route. Facts arc stubborn things, and this railroad must astonish the small army of writers who affirmed a few years ago that white men could accomplish nothing in thc trying cli mate of the Congo Valley. Forty thousand black men arc out of a job. They are the Congo natives who have been engaged for some years in the porterage business, carrying freight to and from Stanley Pool. They need no sympathy, however, for their service has trained them to hab its of industry, and they have learned to desire the silver coins that the State issues, and they will easily find other labor, for there is plenty of work for every native who is willing to give a helping hand to the many en terprises on the Congo. Cadet Corps of Girls. The girls of the Century High School are to drill-to do the regular soldier drill. The martial spirit among them has grown with the Span ish imbrolio's development, and E. C. White, the principal, has been asked to make arrangements with Major S. E. Kelsey, the High School drill master, so that an hour may be set apart every day for thc instruction of a company of girls in military tactics. As the commandant of the cadets at the High School is a teacher of geom etry, algebra, and mechanical drawing as well, no arrangement can be made for the organization of a military com pany of girls this spring. "But at the beginning of school next fall I will organize a company of girl cadets," said E. C. White, the school principal, yesterday. "It is probable, too, that thc school will have another instruction in military drill at that time," added Mr. White. "I have begun the preliminaries of se curing an officer of the regular army to take charge of the cadet corps of the school." Mr. White drew from his desk a letter from the judge advocate of thc Department of the Missouri, who is stationed at Omaha, in which the statement was made th?t a regular army officer had been secured for the High School of Omaha and that he had aroused great zeal and enthusiasm among the boys there. The judge ad vocate advised Mr. White to write to Congressman Cowherd, who could se cure the necessary permission from the war department for the stationing of a genuine soldier at Kansas City. The writer was certain that arrange ments <-ould be made by which an offi cer from Fort Leavenworth could give instructions to thc Kansas City High School boys, and girls, too, during three days of the week. So Mr. White will communicate with the Congressman and have arrangements made by the next fall for one ol' the "real things'' to teach the art of sol diery at the High School. This, however, is only incidental to | thc formation of a cadet corps of girls. The new officer will have more time to attend to such matters, and Major Kelsey will continue to give instruction in mathematics and draw ing. "I am glad." said Mr. White, "to see the development of the military spirit among the girls, because thc military drill is one of the best means of developing thc physique. Thc ex pansion of the chest, thc firm and erect position of the soldier, will counteract the stoop ol' thc student. The facings and marching will give the free exercise that is so essential to the health of those who work over books. The manual of arms, which will be carried nut. not with thc regu lation Springfield rifle, but with light er guns of wood, w iN develop thc mus cles and give freedom and litheness to the movements of the body. "It would be better, ol' course, if wc could hold our drill in the open air, but thc basement of the High School is large and airy, and the ir i ri s will drill in that." Cadet corps of girls have been or ganized in the State University of Missouri and in many other schools and colleges. W ith an instructor from the regular army and the enthusiasm already ex isting among the girls. Mr. White ex pects to organize a large corps of girls next fall.-Kansan City Star.

History shov that the Chinese had their santscl before the Christian era, and tl Egyptian bas-reliefs depict all forn of revolting helplessness throug drink, even to that of an aristocrat lady in that stage of inebriation whet the outraged stomach rejects its ut welcome contents. Several of tl Pharaohs issued stringent mandate against drunkenness; but there is n reason to suppose that any of th people whom we call "the ancients had the remotest idea of the permt nent physiological havoc that persii tent drinking works in the huma body; they looked only at the outwar and visible sign of an inward and ir sidious destruction; but, thanks t the light of science, a true knowledg of all the evils that the usc of intox icants breed is spreading, and the di: ease of drunkenness is really diminish ing, and thc voice which comes in it train is really lessening-all appeal anees to the contrary notwithstanding In Grecian history we read tha Xerxes left as his most striking cpi taph "that he was able to drink mor wine than any man in his dominions. Alexander the Great organized drinking contest, offering a prize t the man who could drink the most Promachus took the prize, afte drinking fourteen quarts of wine, th others coming near to him; but, a col? wind springing up, the winner am forty of his companions died befor morning; and Alexander himself, whj our young fancies exalted as a sort o demigod, died at thirty-two after drinking-bout that lasted two day and two nights. Rome passed through a season o unbounded intemperance before it downfall. Wc read of one man wh< was knighted under the name Tri congius-"Three-gallon man."- be cause he had been able to drink twclvi quarts of wine at a single draft. Tin boozing ol' our Saxon ancestors, 01 mead and metheglin, is sufficiently in dieated in such books as Kingsley": "Hereward;" and in England drink ing-habits, from king and court down were universal. Only thc fact tha intoxicating drinks were very costly saved the common people from ruin ous debauchery; but in the century that brought the Pilgrims to our shore thc common people learned that alco hoi could bc made cheaply from grain ami in Switzerland, France, and Uni land immense amounts of gin wen poured cut from mammoth distilleries .iud tile nation, which had moderated drinking under Cromwell, weul back to more than its former excesses under thc Date h William; and in his reign the production of gin was stimu lated as an encouragement ol' agricul turc. The effects were so disastrous as tn give pause lo all thoughtful peo ple. The price of this intoxicant wat ridicuously low, and shops could bi seen in London placarded "Drunk foi a penny; dead drunk for twopence clean straw for nothing.'- Previously people had used beer, which was lc-. destructive; but now Parliament be came alarmed, and Parliament passed a law, in 17'?l?, prohibiting the usc ol gin. Thc celebrated (Jin Law is in teresting, as well as instructive, as thc first step taken among civilized moderns to regulate thc salo of liquors, and also for thc spirit in which it was met by the people for whoso chief ben efit it was intended. Thc same ineth ods of evasion, the same tactics t? thwart it, were practiced in England, in 1731?, as have been used in Maine in 1S?K!; and then, as now, the apoth ecaries were the great aiders and abet tors of thc fraud. They sold it in vials and small packages colored tc disguise it, under thc names 'Colic Water," "Ladies' Comfort," etc., with printed directions: "Take two or three spoonfuls three or four times a day, or as often as the tit takes you. In formers, in the hope of earning large rewards, abounded; ami the shout "Li quor Spy" would raise a mob in Lon don instantly. Thc law was so un popular that it ceased to be enforced after two or three years, and at thc end of seven was materially modified. While thc lower classes were thus being ruined by gin-drinking, an al most equal havoc was being effected among thc aristocracy by strong wines from Portugal, that, carly in the hist century, were admitted under such tariff regulations as to bc compara tively cheap. The taste for this spread rapidly, and thc letters and diaries ? ii' the time present pictures of revolt ing dissipation among the land-owning governing class. Drunkenness was the to-bc-expcctcd condition, and the man who could "carry" the largest amount of port was the man of ?nark, aud won the plaudits of admiration.
