THE DEATH OF HAMLET.

Hc sleeps at last, and all the grief
That shook his soul in manhood prime
Is waited Ike some faded leaf
Across the horizon of time.
How shall we fifty say farewell
To him whose voice in other days
Thrilled human hearts as by a spell
And won the incense of their praise7
Like some ungentle blast that shakes
The fairest blossom from the tree
Is this grim mystery that takes
Life's perfume and life's fiow'r from thee.
And can those lips indeed be dumb
: From which such golden words did fall.
And Is hat p~rincely figure numb
That yields the purple to the pail?
Alas, tits sol The prince is dead
Who showed us Denmark's woes anew.
May sweetest rest attend his bed
And T. ace the gentle heart and truei
Tho lights are out, the play Is DER,
His voice is hushed. In very truth,
His presence meier shall thrill us more.
And Hamlet dies in Edwin Booth!

The achievements Of "ocean racers"
have started some very absurd para
graphs on the rounds, to the effect
that one burns S13, 600 worth CT coal
every trip. A little calculation, with
facts to back it, will show the eX-
travagance Of this statement. The
American liner New York consumes
about 328 tons per day, the White
Star liner Teutonic about 316 tons,
and the Cunarder Etruria $50 tons
per day at full speed. 1t has been
stated that the Etruria at a speed Of
Is knots burns only 275 tons per day.
This consumption would send the
greyhound across with a total use of
about 1000 tons in round figures.
The price of coal in New York is
considerably less than S4 pei ton, and
in Liverpool it is cheaper than here,
but even at outside figures the cost
of fuel per trip, it will be seen,
does not exceed $4,000 The
fuel bills of such ships are,
Of course, far in excess OF those
OF the average ocean steamer. Triple
expansion engines and improved ma
chlnery of the present day have made
IT possible TO 81 economic coal that
the consumption per indicated horse
power per hour has been reduced in
ratio TO much less-two pounds, as
against nine pounds in 1886, and five

OF this new table between the lakes
ana the seaboard has beea at sta
tions where the switching Of rolling
stock, the transfer Of baggage and
mails and the appointing OF coaches
have been done without that dis
patch that has characterized the run
ming Of the fast expresses. An aver.
age of fifty miles an hour is fairly
good, but IL is not phenomenal In
tact, the American railway system
has scarcely kept pace with the de-
velopment Of the ocean steamship
service. Passengers arrived in Chi
cago Saturday who took ship at
Queenstown the previous Sunday,
All the difficulties Of ocean travel
taken into account, this is more i'm
preSSive than making 1000 miles in
twenty hours without mountain
range to cross and with no engineer
ing problems of any perplexing nature.
The railroads throughout the coun-
try are likely TO be stimulated to inn
provement OF their schedules by the
new express trains between the lakes
and the Atlantic. The Southern SER
vice, SO far as it is controlled in
Southern centers, is in urgent need
of speeding. The Southern planters
ought TO insist on better time for the
valuable but perishable freights they
send to Northern markets. Southern
business men have everything to gain
by bringing South and North more
closely together. There has been
considerable improvement during the
past year in means of communication
between Chicago and the Gulf but
the manipulation of neither passenger
nor fast freight trains is yet what
intelligence, energy and little more
outlay Of money would easily make it.
The next step for NOltherR and
Eastern, as we'll as Western and
Southern railway management, ought
to be popularize the improved service
by lowering the rates. Travel is like
postal service-the cheaper the stamp
the greater the number of letters.
The lower the railroad ticket the
more the thousands that will use it.
