The actors who bsve made tbetr fame on one play, tbe authors whose reputatlou rests upon one book, or the orators w hose celebrity is connected with one speech, are not nearly so nu merous as tbe singers who have be come known through one song. The recent death of "The Great MeDer uiott," who will go down to posterity as the singer of "By Jlugo, We WIlL" the song which made the term "jingo- Ism," a familiar term in the Kuglisu language, recalls tbe story of mauy of these one-acbleved Individuals. The most fickle and difficult to un derstand people In the world," said a theatrical manager a few days ago. are the comic-song public. Sometimes a song, wltb absolutely uo merit to rec ommend It, will go like wlldtlre, while, on tbe other hand, some of the most clever and catchy songs ever written full as fiat as a smoothing Iron. A song will sometimes be sung by a musli-hall singer which will seem to have In It no more of tbe elements of popularity than any other song. Yet suddeuly It will become all the rage, aud wIH be hummed and whistled by thousands of people all over thecouotry who never heard the name of the sing er, and perhaps never put their foot In tbe music hall. Probably, then, a year or two later the same singer will ap pear with a song quite as taking, ap parently, as the first one. yet It will fall to create the slightest stir, and will be a dead letter, except to those who have beard It lu music halls." Instances of the accuracy of this gen eralization abound. .It was Miss Lot tie Collins who first sang "Ta-ra-boom-de-ay" In a Loadon music ball.

That which Is returned to tbe Treasury Department jfrom Chicago for replacement la said to be tbe worst of alL It Is so bad that the employes of the department stub bornly try to get assigned to desks where none of this ragged, filthy cur rency Is handled. Those who have ta bles where New York, Boston, Phila delphia or Washington money la ban died are considered very fortunate. From these towns come money for re demption which is practically new. ; Many banks In tbe East make it a rule to never put out old money. Many of the bills from Washington have never been folded. . The chief of the redemption division explains that a New York bank which would pay out such money as Is handed over the Chicago bank counters could not do business. Its customers would not have tbe soiled and ragged money. Many' go further and say tbe filthy money is dangerous. The facta do not bear this out There never has been a case of contagious sickness In the de partment which could be traced to con taminated bills. - . Tbe reason why the West gets dirty money and tbe East gets clean money rests entirely with the banks. The Eastern banks supply new currency because their customers refuse to han dle the other kind. Tbe Western banks give out dirty currency because tbeir customers do not protest. It costs tbe banks extra to get new money. It costs 20 cents per' $1,000 to send old . money- to the department for redemp tion and Its costs tha same amount to get the new bills, a total cost of 40 cents Tbe Government pays tbe ex pressage on sliver. The banks say that tbey would be glad to furnish new bills if the Government would pay the ex- pressage. Unquestionably tbey would. But tbe Eastern banks find It no bard- ship and are glad to pay the express age to keep tbe new currency on band. If all tbe banks In the country would suddenly decide to use only new bills over their counters the bureau of en graving and printing would be unable Save the Queen." It Is said that there are at least a dozen singers of comic songs who are known in the profession as "one-song men." The meaning of the title Is, of course, that they have sung oue song which completely eclipsed all of their other performances. For lustuuee, Charles Coborn, tbe man who sung "The Man That Broke tbe Bank at Monte Carlo." made more money out of other songs, but for one person who knows one of bis other songs probably a hundred know this one. . 1 Other familiar Instances of the one song success are Anna Held's "Won't You Come and Play With Me?" and Ernest Hogan's "Who Said Chicken In This Crowd?" Both ef these have I sung many another song, but none of the others has bad such extreme pop ularity. The authors of "Little Annie Kooney," "After the Ball Is Over" and other equally well-known songs are almost unknown, yet In many cases their one song carried them to tempo rary fame. New York Times. NEW KIND OF RAILROAD TIES. Booth American Mora Timber to Be Tried by Pennsylvania Uoud. The Pennsylvania Ballroad Is soon to begin an experiment with a new kind of wood for ties. Orders have been placed aud several consignments of tbe material are now on the way from South America, says the Philadelphia Ledger. As soon as the vessels ui rive preparations will be made for placing the ties at points along tbe main line snd i and around Philadelphia. Tbe ties sre of Mora wood, and come from British Guiana. , It ts claimed for them that tbey will last fifty years, tbe tim ber being exceedingly hard aud pos sessing the quality of durability. The present ties last from three to ten years. The purchasing price alone for each tie of the Mora wood is $1, aud the delivery price about $1.50. The coat of the white oak ties, which the road has been using, is about 73 cents each. There have been many experiments made during the last twenty -five years to procure some material for ties that will stand tbe severe tests from heavy and fast t rattle, but thus far no suc cessful results have been attained. Many patent preservative processes have been resorted to, such as cneml- cals to preserve the wood, cement en cased In steel and steel plates bent into oval or semi-naif moon shape. Just now the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Hallway Is experimenting on its main line, near Sandusky, Ohio, with a design of steel ties constructed from old worn out sixty-flve-pound steel rails. About $00,000,000 Is now spent annu ally by the railroads of the country for renewing worn-out ties, It being esti mated that 112,000,000 new ties are needed each year. Tbe total number of ties now In nse on the railroads of tbe country Is calculated at 780,000,000. Tbls demand Is so great and the here- tofore sources of supply are so nearly exhausted, says tbe Black Diamond, that tbe International Society of Arbo riculture bas undertaken to encourage the growing of catalpa trees, with spe cial reference to tbe need of crosstles for American railways. White oak, canerack, white cedar, chestnut, pine and redwood, which bave up to -tbls time been used for ties, are becoming ! too costly. If not too scarce, to supply the demand from tbls source. Tbe so ciety suggests that the catalpa be planted along the right of way of Tall road lines, not only ss s future source of supply, but as a means of adding to the pleasure snd comfort of trsvelers. Ties from tbls wood, it Is claimed, will last tblrty-flve years. this and I bave bad no return of it for the last thre years. I keep the pills constantly on hand as I believe they are a wonderful household remedy. "To Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People I owe all the comfort I have enjoyed for the past three years in being free from neuralgia and I am glad to lie able to recommend them," Many who are now tortured with neuralgia will read with interest the above statement which is beyond doubt as it was given over the signature of Mrs. William Cotter, whone husband bas been Democratic regii-ter of elec tions in Hartford, Conn., for over 10 years, and who is well known through out the state.
