THE FASTEST TRAIN IN THE
WORLD.

An extract from the London Week,
headed "The Fastest Train in the
World" is challenged by reader Of
the World, who wants to know wheth-
or there are not American trains that
run at as great q rate Of speed as the
Great Western "FlyiDg Dutchman,"
and other English trains which make
fifty and fifty-three miles an hour.
At the Erie railway Office the Su-
perntendent said: ave have no trains
that run at anything like those rates !:
our fastest schedule time is thirty eight
miles an hour. We run at that rate
between Oswego and Waverly, a dis
tance OF eighteen miles, and at several
other points on the route, but that is
our fastest rate" hHI
Superintendent Toucey of the New
York Central road, said; "We don't
pretend to run as fast as the English
roads you mention, our highest sched-
ule rates being forty miles an hour.
Oi course we get a greater rate than
that in some places on the road, but
only ior snort distances; Our trains
are heavier than the Engilsh.
MT oherins, the cher clerk IN the
once OF the superintendent OF the
fennsyivania haiiroad, said ~ think

DEARER THAN WEALTH,
THE ROMANCE OF A PENNSYLVANIA
FRESHMAN.

For fifteen years Thomas Conroy
has earned livelihood for himself and
family in the little village OF Tanners
Falls, six miles from Honesdale, by
making and repairing the boots and
shoes Of tanners, bark-peelers and lum.
bermen; yet, during all that time,
fortune Of s25, 900 has been waiting
for him in Lienster, Ireland. The
only condition required Of him is that
he shall go to that country and claim
the money. But he stubbornly refuses
to do this, and hammers away on his
lapstone from daybreak until dark,
earning just enough to keep the wolf
from the door. ti air
Conroy is an educated Irishman.
His father was Michael Conroy, OF
Leinster. When Conroy was young
man, his uncle, because he refused to
marry TO his liking, trumped up a
charge against him. The young man
Indignantly denied it, and called his
uncle "a personal villain" When or
dered to retract or quit the house
young Conroy preferred the latter.
With IL guineas in his pocket he took
passage for New York. He found his
way to the village of Mt. Pleasant,
Pennsylvania, and there learned the
trade Of shoemaking, and married Mol
lis Delaney. the daugher Of a respecta-
BILE farmer. Then he moved to Tan
