MS-A Milwaukee man committed suicide be-
cause it was discovered that he had concealed $40
900 for number of years SO that it could not bt
taxed. We respectfully call the attention of GER
tain Baltimore people to the peris to which they
are exposing themselves. If the new tax COM
rnissioa- loes work thoroughly, there will be
good many esteemed citizens here who will have
an opportunity to indulge in remorse.-Baltimor'
Herald.
The same applies to Baltimore county. There
are doubtless many men here who are concealng
their boarded thousands, in order that they may
escape taxation, who will one day have cause tc
regret it. We hope, however. that none of them
will be driven to the same extremity the Milwau.
kee man, who was thought to be poor black
smith, was. If everything in Baltimore county
subject to taxation bore its proper share of the
burden, the tax rate would unquestionably be less
than it is to-day.

FASTEST TRAIN IN THE WORLD.
The Pennsylvania Express-No Dust-No
Cinders-Little Noise.
From the Ne,o York World.

From, the Neu York World.
Some over-confdent Engishman boosted a few
weeks ago that "The Flying Dutchman" train,
from London to Liverpool, was the fastest in the
world. But they soon found out that they were
mistaken. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
sends train out of New York at 9 o'clock every
morning that beats tho time of the "Fying
Dutchman." Considering the distance covered,
it is the fastest train in the world. When the
care-worn business man journeys from New Yak
to Philadelphia, Chicago, or st. Louis, he finds in
the parlor cars Of the Pennsylvania Railroad o
luxurious home on wheels. AS he is being whrled
along at the rate of sixty miles an hour or better
not jolt disturbs his serenity. The rails rest on
bed balasted with solid rock, and the joints are
made with kind of chair and fish plate, of the
company's own make, that cause the miles of
track to be as unbroken as one long jontless rail-
There is no dust little noise and not cinder A
few weeks ago there were put on number of new
parlor cars, finished at the company's shops at
Altoona. Instead of the ordinary fat window,
they are fitted with five bay windows on each
side each about seven feet wide. The passenger
can look up or down the road for miles without
leaving his seat, and the new windows admit
twice as much light as the old ones did. The cars
are somewhat larger than the old style, and are
divided into main saloon, ladies' boudoir,
smoking room and retiring ROOM
Recently the entire running time between the
Atlantic seaboard and the great western cities
has been reduced. On the o'clock morning
train the time to Chicago is twenty four hours
to Cincinnati, twenty -one hours; and to St. Louis,
twenty nine hours, with a corresponding reduc
ton to other points. This speed is maintained
without the slightest danger to the traveller.
During the war of rates which began last winter,
the Pennsylvania Company alone maintained its
rates. Beginning May 25th, though, it fixed the
fare to Chicago at SIS; to St. Louis at $40; and
to Cincinnati at $14, with corresponding reduc-
tions to other points.

M1- The pastime of collecting foreign and do
mestic postage stamps has come to be great
business among thousands Of children in this
country, and in the State of New York alone there
are said to be no less than 900 of them engaged
in the business. The great demand for stamps
has led number of large business firms to engage
in the business of manufacturing fac SMILES of
the genuine stamps and the country is being
flooded with these, they being sold as stamps that
have been used and cancelled. This information
has been brought to the attention of Postmaster
General Villas and the inspectors of tho depart
ment have been ordered to institute searching
investigation. The manufacturers of these spuri-
Gus stamps have taken the precaution to print the
words "fac simile across their face, and this may
save them from prosecution, although it is pal
pabe fraud upon the innocent collectors.

@-A few weeks ago The UNION called atten-
ton to the wretched condition of Boundary avenue
which is the principal drive to Druid Hill Park,
and suggested that the city authorities have that
importantthoroughfare well sprinkled every morn
ing and evening in order to do away with the un-
bearabIe dust which covers those who drive to the
park. We observe that fsw days ago commit
tee of property owners called upon the Mayor to
urge the necessity of having the avenue paved as
means of doing away with the dust, which they
represented to be almost intolerable and causing
o great depreciation in the value of property
City Commissioner Wilkinson appears to have
adopted our suggestion, he having said to the
property -owners that if the avenue were regularly
sprinkled it would accomplish the desired end and
furnish very fine drive. As we before pointed
out the work of sprinklng could be done in dry
weather at q very trifing outlay, the supply of
water being handy and unlimited, and this would
do away with the intolerable nuisance complained
of and relieve the city authorities of the charge of
old fogyism. If the city papers would take the
matter up the end would be accomplished in
very short time.

N8-A mile below Port Jervis the states Of
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania join
their boundaries. On q rock in the Delaware
river person may place one finger in Orange
county, N. Y, another in Sussex county, N. j.,
and third in Pike county, Pa, at the same time.
There are several houses in the vicinity which are
located partly in New York and partly in New
Jersey. One of these is a hotel The bar-room
of this house has always been in Orange county,
but this spring the proprietor's application for a
license was refused. He obtained a license from
Sussex county, and, moving his bar from one
room to another, carries on business at the old
stand the same as before.

@-Democratic politicians in the Sth district
are working like beavers and the fight between
the contending factions is getting warmer every
day. The friends of Mr.. Lewis NJ. Bacon say that
if the primary took place to-day he would carry
the district, but they don't say what he will do
when the primary does come off. On the other
hand those who oppose Mr.. Bacon claim that they
are to have a walk-over in the district and the
friends of County Commissioner Wight are jubi-
