Inte11isibla Price Marks.

Very few stores now adhere to the old
plan of cipher marking. Experience has
proved that a majority of customers
prefer goods to be marked in plain fig
ures, no one liking the idea of two sets
of figures txnless he is sure he is among
the favored ones who get the benefit of
the lower scale. 1t is said to be the
practice with the medical fraternity of
some towns to grade their charges to
patients according to the style of house
in which they live, and the same idea
prevails so much as to retail stores that
ladies have been known to send servants
down to stores because they could get a
larger discount.
Other ladies are careful never to dress
very well when shopping, and this shows
how firmly the impression prevails that
a genuine one price store is a novelty.
The easiest way to get over this i'm
preston is to have every article marked
in plain figures, so that the customer
may see that one price prevails for ALL

republic over every part of which the stars
and stripes will proudly wave Looking to
the future, my eye detects in the dim hori-
zon an American republic which shall EN-,
brace not only the present United States
and Alaska, but all tia remainder of the
North American continent now under
British, Mexican or minor domination. 1t
seems to me that this is the destiny OF
America-to come under one government,
to have but one flag to be one people.
"Such consolidation of power and unfit
cation of interest will of course make the
greatest empire the sun ever shone upon.
1t will be an empire unrivaled in ancient
or modern times in population, in climat-
ical favor, in physical resources and in the
intelligence and patriotism of its people.
Isolated to some extent from the remain
der of the world, we shall have little dan.
ger of entangling alliances or of trouble
some contact There will be no disputes
about boundary lines, about seal or fish OF
bait. There will be no international rail.

unsettle trade This great ocean bound
American republic will maintain a navy
superior to anything else afloat simply as
matter of precaution
There will be free trade throughout the
North American continent and possibly free
trade with all the world. As to this can
not say, nor even hazard an opinion, though
| am satisfied that if free trade or freer
trade shall come it will not be for many
years, and not till every important indus
try existing or possible throughout the
length and breadth of the new and larger
republic has been planted firmly upon O
basis of enduring prosperity.
"Such a government will be strong

citizens and to develop every resource. 1t
will be a government of perhaps sixty

our present form which are likely to com
mend themselves to any considerable part

know that we have the el,fticity which
will enable us sSsily and peacefully to
adapt ourselves to any new conditions that
may arise. For 100 years or more to come,
however, expect to see our present form

The Possibilities of Railway Speed.

IFrom Our Pittsburg Correspondent
Mr.. George Westinghouse, whose career
as an inventor has been one of the ro-
mances of the Nineteenth century, in speak
ing of the possibilities of railway speed in
the Twentieth century, said:
There is no question about the develop
ment of a much higher rate of speed than
that which even the fastest service on the
railroads of today maintain. | presume
that speed of from 90 to 100 miles an hour
could be secured with modern locomotives
and with the Improvements which are sure
to come.
But am inclined to think that other in
fuences may operate to prevent in the next
century the running Of railway trains at
such speed as have seen mentioned in
some Of the newspapers 1t is not ques-
tion of attaining speed, but question Of
the control of the train after great speed
has been secured Suppose. for instance,
that a railway train is going at the rate of
ninety miles an hour The engineer sees a
danger signal or an obstruction on the track
1000 feet away
Now, experiments have shown that with
perfect brake acting under the most per.
feet conditions it is impossible to procure a
6lOQSCA ACbdttAAL5 Ci1CCb O4dn WOulu Ut
equivalent to stopping train going at the
rate of three miles an hour in second OF
time. It is therefore easy to make COM
putation of the effect Of such a brake upon
a train running ninety miles an hour within
1000 feet. When the engineer had. reached
the danger signal or the obstruction his
train would still be going at the rate Of
sixty miles an hour, and if be was running
\ Ife nj - - L
could only check it to rate of something
like forty miles an hour within that dis
tance.
For this reason am inclined to think
that the development of railway travel In
the next century along the present lines
will be not so much great speed as uniform
speed. The ideal speed, think, will be
about forty miles ain hour and steadily
maintained from the time of leaving one
terminal to the time of the arrival at desti-
nation. That will give most satisfactory
results. A steady speed of forty miles an
hour would enable a train to run from New
York to Chicago in little over twenty
hours and with greater economy and far
less danger. 1t is my impression, therefore,
that railway travel in the next century viii
take on this Developments rather than high
rates of speed.
lam also satisfied that the immense cost
of furnishing power for electric railways,
which some persons seem to think can
secure and maintain speed of 100 miles an
hour or more, will make such develop
ment commercially Improbable, although
there is no doubt that electricity as a
motive power for passenger traffic will be
extensively used In the next century
