1899" will be given opportunities for
practice before the race. One hundred
miles or SO will probably be the course
on parallel tracks, with special signals
and record-takers to insure a clear
road bed There is to be no stop from
start to finish, and the metal masta-
dons will speed along side by side with
coaled tenders and no limit as to time.
The purse will be some $1,000 or more.
and it seems likely that the greatest
railroad record ever made for swift
ness will be cast in the shade. Fine
weather and smooth. dry track are
the necessary conditions.
George II. Daniels, one of the best
known and most practical railroad men
in the United States, is convinced that
no foreign engine can outspeed this
American greyhound OF the rail. Com
petition in locomotive building has
now assumed such tremendous proper
tions that the coming race will be an
international event. Representatives
from every great locomotive building
plant in the world are to witness it.

Time Not Going His yYaY.

He was standing at Eighth and
Chestnut streets with the assistance of
the electric light pole the other night.
His nerves were unstrung and he
seemed to be in very bad way. His
breath suggested distillery There
was mud on his coat and his silk hat
looked as though it had been sat upon
several times. He seemed in deep
meditation. That he had been dead to
the world for several days was appar-
ent from his first question. Big par

Dolly BYatiison's Ruse.

Mrs. Madison was unquestionably
the most popular woman that has ever
presided over the social life of the ex-
ecu tive mansion. She was extremely
beautiful in person and gentle and
courteous in manner. Consummatc
tact made good her lack of liberal edu-
cation. Madison first met her when he
was a member of congress at Philadel-
phia. and with Aaron Burr boarded at
the house Of her father, Mr.. Payne.
She was then the Widow Todd. The
future president promptly fell in love
with her. But having some doubts
about her mental qualities he one
day handed her book to read and
asked her to give him her opinion of
il. She gave the book to Burr with
the request that he write letter for
her 10 copy. This he did with his
usual brilliancy. and Madison. on re-
ceiving the note, was fully convinced
that his ladv-love's intellect was equal
to her beauty He at once offered
himself and was accepted--Scribne s

pressed admiration of its proud dig
nifty. But that was before the scandal.
Poor Maynard never says anything
about himself without playing into the
hands of his enemies. His plea of ig-
norance concerning some Of the legal
aspects of his action in the election re-
turns case has been taken hold of by
the bar association. If he knew the
law he was criminal, they say, and if
he did not, how can he aspire to judi
cial honorS?
Personally Maynard has agreeable
manners and way of saying bright
things. When asked if he thought
long terms for the judiciary should be
agreed upon by the coming constitu-
tional convention, he said:
''Oh yes. It takes fifteen years to
get case through court, and judge
should be given a change to decide it."

THE TRIPLE EFFECT.

Little tips rise at irregular intervals,
from out of the folds of the crown.
A pretty thing for afternoon wear
has pale blue tam-o-shanter crown in
velvet that is almost covered with a
beadwork of steel and silver. The
creamy lace brim is edged with steel
trimming. Across the front black tips
are stretched, and one is suspended at
the back, looking as if it might drop
any moment. Pale blue aigrettes mix
with the plumes-
Oh, the enhancing beauty Of the
evening bonnet! But is it deserving of

fingers, we turn it gently around, we

begin to wonder whether it is

giant hair decoration, and, verify,
it is no easy means to decide.
Between the elaborate hair ornament
and the miniature bonnet there is
sometimes little more than shade of
difference. A fillet of pearls adorns the
couture, and fillet of pearls forms
the entire back of the evening hat.

Easy TO See,

The great scarcity of servant girls IN
Boston has led to the importation of
a considerable number of farmers
daughters from the back districts of
Maine to serve in fashionable city
houses The want of familiarity on
the part Of these girls with city ways
and language has led to some queer
scenes.

AS the diplomats of our capital have

ager A. NJ. Jolly, which occurred at an
early hour yesterday morning, as
chronicled exclusively in the INTELLI-

wages from 20 to III cents an hour, as
proposed by tho general manager. The
men themselves realize that this meas

count Of tho business depression and
the consequent falling of OF the street

were all at work yesterday morning, and
so far as is known all will remain in the
employ OF the company. They accept
the reduction philosophically, and only
hope that in the good times to come"
the company will restore the former
