FROM EUROPE IN LESS THAN SIX DAYS.

FROM EUROPE IN LESS THAN SIX DAYS.
The pressure and hurry Of life in these days
are In no way so strikngly illustrated as IN the
speed of ocean steamships and railway trains.
On all the great lines Of travel by land and by
sea the demand for greater speed has been in
ceSsant and imperative. The highest skill OF
the designer, the most painstaking toll OF the
constructor. the amplest resources OF enormous
capital have all been lavished in efforts TO pro-
vide tho fastest and most luxurious express
trains On our trunk lines, and the swttest ana
most sumptuouS Of ocean carriers. what mar
yellous achievements in devourng space have
the newspapers recorded in the last few years /
The superb new steamship the City Of Pans
of the Inman Line, has now surpassed all prVl-
Gus triumphS in the magnificent series OF trans
atlantic races that have been going on. Tho
whole world has watched the breathleSs rivalry
between the majestic thoroughbrcds Of the deep
with eager interest When Maud 5. cuts down
the trotting record to 2 :OS ga, people 10 all
countries who admire fine hOrsetiesh are graf
fled and applaud freely. When an Ormonde
distances all competition on the turf and retires
with an unbroken series of victories every be-
lever in blood and ped gree and the develop
ment of the highest type OF animal admtes
the champion. But how much more useful as
we'll as brilliant is the championship on the ocean
than the championship Of the turf. Reduced
time Of ocean passages means increased de-
yclopment of cOmmCue, means many and lar
reaching benefits to people who can never cross
the ocean themselves. The peerless heet OF
Atlantic flyers that dash from Liverpool to
New York, from America 10 the Continent with
so amazing speed, represent the advances OF
civilization, invention, progress, in the moso
impressive manner imaginable. Greater facili-
ties in ocean transpo tstion mean cheaper
freights, cheaper food and frecr interchange oil
peoples as well as Of commodities.
The City Of Paris has now surpassed the six
days limit her passage having taken only five
days, twenty three hours and seven minutes.
The best previous record was that Of tho
Etr1Iria. in six days. one hour and ffty-tve
minutes. An imperial and superlative sort OF
boat indeed, this City Of Paris! Only few
months ago she was born. II she does so
great things in her bsbyhood, what will she do
when full grown? But even better and faster
| boats will yet be bnilt These arr the times
when the impossible is achieved. And five
days for the Atlantic passage and three days
| for the railway run across the United States
| from New-York to San Francisco will come
| before many more years have gone by

That was surprising statement made in yes
terday's Tribune by Mr.. ThomRnn member Of
the bate Excise Commission. regarding the Com
mission bill Mr.. ThomAnn objects TO our remark
that the High License Committee and other tenn
perance Organizations favored action upon the bill
because he says, the High License committee
favored action upon the orr ginal Commission bill,
which had been amended into such a different
form that IL WAS practically no longer before the
Legislature We should dislike % charge Mr..
Thomann with lack OF righteousness. What is
more probable is that BE- does not read the news
papers with sufficient care. The High License
Committee have distinctly expressed themselves in
favor Of the Commission bill in its present form,
have admitted that the amendment made improved
II, and have used their influence 10 secure its
passage. Before charging error upon others, Mr..
Thomann should take care that he is himself on
solid ground.

The State Senate took rather sweeping action
yesterday when it passed bill fOrbidding
street railroad companies that now use horse
power from substituting steam-po therefor.
II was recently held by the courts that the use
of cable as the motive power of street rail-
road was the use of steam, and by parity OF
reasoning to use electricity would be to use
steam. There is palpable absurdity in re-
curing horses to be used perpetually when
better and more desirable means of propulsion
may become available. Any change of this
sort should be made under proper supervision,
however, and there is no better body than the
Railroad Commission to oversee IL.

She Swallowed The Car Fare.

If therei is any one thing that makes
the horse-car conductor mad it is the
custom of some folks of using their
mouths as purses for the cur fares,
1t is u great nuisance in Summer dur
ing travel on the open cars, where
the conductor has full complement
of passengers. II. Lewiston conduc-
tor says that children are the worst.
Some OF them disgorge a handful of
change, and he has to accept it. One
day u very pretty young lady, who
was u guest in Auburn from a Mas
sachusetts town. was coming down
from the lake. She was one ola gay
party of hulf Il dozen, and they made
merry on the down trip. When he
was one seat from her OH his tour of
the car he looked over at her. She
was so pretty she could not help it.
Just as he looked he was panied to
notice IL fearful change in her count
cnancc. Her cheek blancled and she
seemed to choke Her laugh died on
her lips, too, and ioked no more.
When he got along to the party the
young lady's eyes were bcdewed with
tears. "l-I had some money"
The conductor, with infinite tact,
says that he just passed it along,
saying" l know all aboutit. You've
swallered it. l see you do it," The
young lady blushed, and the cur
ratified along. A child with five cop.
pers in its mouth is fearful picture
for the conductor. but what do you
think of one with twenty-four cents
in its cheeks? Better buy youngsters

A Useful Caution.

The Sanitary News calls attention
to the fact that n postage stamp
may in various ways convey conta.
gion. One of the simplest and most
plausible is that in which n postage
partially attached to Il letter by pay
return postage, is sent by IL person
infected with some disease to another
person. The disease is transferred
in the first place to the adhesive
stamp through the saliva, and is
leing attached by the receiver the
poison may he transmitted to him in
turn through the saliva. Another
cause may be the infection of the
stamp with disease germs. The
stamp, having been exposed in q
room where diseased person lies,
may become slightly moistened and
thus retain the germ. That this is
true can he proved very simply by
ri, MIss &. 'exa"yA!aR We Of
moment. >Gc mouth, probably not
knowing that investigation has
shown that disease germs can be car
ried by money. If one could see
through what hands the money has
passed he would hesitate before using
such % third hand. Silver money is
as bad ns paper money. but while
many would hesitate to hold u dirty
hank note in their mouth, they think
that a silver piece, because bright, is
probably clean.
