The track construction consists of Wharton girder rails, weighing ninety pounds to the yard, spiked directly to the ties and connected by eight-bolt fishplates. The rails are bonded with copper wire and channel pins and cross bonded at every third rail. Side poles furnished by the Syracuse Tube Company are used on the greater por- tion of the line.

The hangers for the brass shell, round tips and the pull-offs are of the regular Giant pattern. The Brooklyn strain insulators are used at the poles, and the No. 1 solid moulded mica pole insulators are used for carrying the lighter feed wires. The heavy feed wires are carried by iron clad insulators. The company is operating thirty-six closed end twenty-five open cars. The cars are of the Stephenson make mounted on Brill trucks, and are equipped with two Westinghouse motors. Lewis & Fowler fare registers and Pittsburgh Steel Hollow Ware and patent rachet gongs are employed. The cars are equipped with sand boxes and ratchet brakes.

THE PHILADELPHIA TRACTION COMPANY. The Philadelphia Traction Company, the largest of all the railway companies in Philadel- phia, has proceeded farther with the work of elec- trical equipment than any of the other railway companies. The company is now supplying power from its three stations on Sutherland Avenue, 13th and Mt. Vernon Streets and Market Street near 33d, and is erecting a fourth station, which will have a capacity of 2,250 h. p., at 32d and Dauphin Streets. During the last two months the company has put in operation its 17th and 19th Streets north line, its 19th and 20th Streets south line and its Lancaster Avenue line. The next lines to be put in operation are 22d Street and Allegheny Avenue line, York and Dauphin line, Jefferson and Manchester line, Spring Garden and Walden line, West Spruce Street line and the Paddington line in West Phila- FIG. 2.—TESTING CAR NO. 999—PHILADELPHIA TRACTION CO. delphia.

THE LIFE OF A REPUTATION: THE PUBLIC MEMORY OF ULYSSES S. GRANT by RICHARD G. MANNION Under the Direction of Wendy Hamand Venet ABSTRACT At the time of his death in 1885, Ulysses S. Grant was widely regarded by his contemporaries as one of the great Americans of his age. Along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, his name was frequently included among the most accomplished heroes of the then still-young republic. Both nationally and internationally Grant was widely regarded as one of the world‘s great military leaders. He was elected to the presidency of the United States during one of the most divisive epochs in American history and won a decisive electoral victory to earn a second term. In his final years he embarked on a comprehensive world tour to great personal acclaim as well as the acknowledgement of this nation‘s ascendancy as a world power.
