The Brooklyn Bridge cm carry
ninety trains an hour The reason
that less than sixty trains are run is not lack of bridge capacity but

ter T1MIfl
J tr Under the Poulson plan which the diagram explains a train hay
ing been run into a pocket unloads from one side and then loads from
the other thereby giving on a headway of ninety trains to the hour four
minutes for each train to load and unload instead of 30 seconds as now
on a sixty train per hour schedule
Were it not that the bridge would not carry so much weight 300
trains per hour could be run by the Poulson system
The Poulson plan would shift the trains after leaving the suspension
t structure run part of them on the ground floor thereby saving the climb
tip or down steps It would abolish the present trolley loops subslitut
Fng one elevated loop and one platform to unload the trolley cars and
r the opposite platform to load them This would eliminate the tiolley
rush of passengers struggling to get on while others are struggling to
get off
H The changes would cost nn the upper platform between S3oooo and
40000 and on the ground floor about 200000 less than the cost of
the present useless extensions
Equally simple and of advantage to all the people who ride on the
elevated and subways are the changes in their operation which would in
crease the express service on all the elevateds
x The following diagram shows how the elevated roads can run express
trains by building short switches at all local stations so that while the
local train is at the station loading and unloading the express rain can pass
it and go on to the express stops

A simple change can be made In the subway through making the lo
1 cal stations island stations thereby enabling the running of express trains
5 on the local tracks passing the locals while the locals are stopping at lo
cal stations
The inventor of these plans is Niels Poulscn who twenty years ago I 1
was a bridge engineer himself and who is now President of the Hecla
I Iron Works and a man of wealth He is not after a contract and heis I
I not in politics He has spent a great deal of money and time not because 1
a there is any personal profit in it for him but because he believes that a I
man who has made his money in New York should try to do some geed
with it here according to his intelligence
If instead of the Poulson plan being so simple and inexpensive it pro
vided opportunities for overcapitalization fat contracts Ashokan dams
Kissena Parks and rotten hose graft it would have met with a different

Eighteenth President mt1885 short stocky Jorge head brown hair and
beard swarthy broad forehead deepiet gray eye and bushy trout r
should too given the 4ab17 r
HERE was a family dispute u to what name
THERE of a Connecticut farmer and tanner who had emigrated to the
Ohio wilderness One relative wanted the child called Theodore
Each of the family favored a different name At laat It wa decided to r r
write all the proposed names on lips of paper put them Into a hat and I i
choose In their order the first two that Should be drawn forth These two
were Hiram and Ulysses Bo Hiram Ulysses the baby was christened 4
Some uncrowned humorist in the
His father always called him Ulysses I F r
neighborhood twisted the highsounding word Into Useless r
The baby saddled with thla odd tltlo was to be known to fame aB j
i Uly es Simpson Grant For hie troubles In the line of nomenclature were
cot yet over When he went to West Point the Congressman who ap
pointed hln made a mistake In the entry and the new cadet was written
down on the rolls as UlyBaet Simpson Grant His classmate pretended I
his Initiate U 8 stood for Uncle Sam or United States and applied I I
both nicknames to him Afterward and for greater reasons he wan to be I <
labelled Unconditional Surrender Grant
Ulyesoe was eldest of his parents nix children Times were hard t
there on the frontier and he was set to work about the farm and tannery
I when he was barely seven The only detail of such labor for wMch he
showed any especial cleverness was the handling c 1
w > of bonzes He loved riding and could as a mere
Daring Feat of child master the most vicious ot his fathers f
I J Horoemanihlp J colts At eleven he won the 5 offered by a
travelling showman to any boy whom the clrcust I
l
I trick pony could not throw He could also stand
on one foot on the back of a galloping horse Even as a ladand all his t t
1
lifehe was almost unnaturally silent A simplicity of manner and a I
seeming dulnees made him more or less the butt of his pla > lntl eAt
I
At seventeen he went to West Point There he showed no great
I promise of military greatness He was accounted the most daring horse
man In the academy but was graduated twentyfirst In a class of thirty t
nine thus appearing to Justify the complaint of an Ohio neighbor who on
hearing of young Grants appointment had grumbled Why didnt they
I appoint a boy thatd te a credit to our district 7 Grant himself wroljj
later of his West Point career A military life had no charms for me t
i and I had not the faintest Idea of slaying In the army
I On graduation he was sent as brevet second lieutenant of Infantry to
Jefferson Barracks St Louis He had wanted to join the cavalry but
there was only one cavalry regiment in all the service at that time The
i
whole United States army was only SOOO strong and had more officers than
It needed Indefd during Grants cadetship It was seriously planned to
abolish the West Point Academy In 1S4G when the Mexican war broko
out Grant went to the front In Zachary Taylors command There bill <
dashing bravery became at once manifest He Is said to have foueht li I
all but one of that wars Important battles lie was regarded by his su
perior officers as courageous tut of no great martial ability After peace
was declared he married Miss Julia Dent the sister of one of his West
Point classmates and after a few trrrsfers to various army posts was sent
to Fort Vancouver Oregon There he lived lonely and without hope of
promotion He took to drinking hravlly For many years thereafter the
liquor habit was an enemy that stood In the way of his success At last by
sheer force of will he conquered It
i Tiring of the monotony of army life Grant In 1S54 resigned his cap t
taincy commission and went to live on his wifes sixtyacre farm near Su r
1 Louis As a farmer he was a failure He worked In the fields with his
i wifes three negro slaves and toiled early and late for a bare living Pov <
i erty was his only lOrd He cut trees into cordwood and poddled the
wood In a cart through the streets of St Louis He is described as riding
Into town on the top of his wood load wearing a coarse shirt an old felt
hat and patched trousers that were tucked Into his boot tops He waa
almost never without a cigar In his mouth The farm could not support I
his family so Grant tried bill collecting but failed at that too He sought
1 the post of county engineer but did not win It As real estate agent and I 11
then as auctioneer he scored two more disasters He even applied In I
despair for a Job us teamster Finally In I860
0 he moved his family to Galena 111 where he
A Failure Who became clerk and handy man In his faIIier
t Won Lasting Fame f stare at a salary of 15 3S a week Not high pa yon 1
tM 4 for a man of thirtyeight with a wife nnd foul I t
children to take care of There he stayed abouj 11
a year attracting little notice nviklnj no progress in commercial life Ona I
iosrapher says he was looked on in Galena as a dull plodding man Ho r I
seemed one of the worlds least Interesting failures Yet in four years ho
w > s to he CornmandnrlnChlef of all his countrys armies and In nine years
that countrys President
Then early In 1SG1 came the outbreak of the civil war Grant wrote
offering his services to the Government No heed was paid to his letter j j
But he set to work drilling a company of farm boys and villagers at Galena t
and soon Gov Yates of Illinois gave him work in mustering regiments J
So well did he accomplish this task that he ieelved a commission as I
trigadlergeneral of volunteers lIe was placed In charge of the Southeast I
Mir sourl district and in September 1SC1 occupied Paducah Ky with a I t
view to guarding the region from Confederate attack and srengthenlrr
the Union power there Gen Halleck took command of the Departm
of the Missouri and placed Grant lu charge of that departments most im t
portant section Then came a clash Grant wanted to force tha nghtr t
Hallcck wished to follow a more conservative line of action Grants mill
tary genius saw a chance for attack that Halleck had not the brain to
realize The situation between the two suddenly grew strained
1 The first great move In Grants rise was close at hand
