An Attempt Made by Austin COrbin to Run
 100 Miles in 60 Minutes.
 New York, Oct, 1S,-An attempt was made this morning by the Long Island railroad to beat the railroad fast time record for 100 miles.
 President Austin Corbln, General Manager Reynolds of the road and a party of friends boarded two special cars at the Long Island City depot at $40 o'clock and started for AmaSansett, which Is lO4 miles, They expected to make the distance in ninety miautes.
 The train was drawn by a powerful locomotive in charge of Engineer Wil- liams.
 At Jamaica, nine miles from Long Is- land City, the train was one minute be- hind the schedule time.
 Long Island City, Oct. 1S.-The off, cial statement of the train dispatcher at Long Island City Is to the effect that the train arrived at Amagansett at 11:S2, which Is forty-two minutes behind the schedule mapped out for the run.
 The train was delayed about two min utes at Jamaica by the rapid transit train from Brooklyn. There was also another delay of about two and one-half minutes at Argyle switch, on account of a freight train breaking down.
 It is expected that the train will make better time on the return trip to Long Island City this afternoon. The usual running trip to Amagansett is three hours.

TO RE REPEATED.

The play, Mrs, Billings Companion, a comedy in three acts, written by Miss Frances Barney and MT. Charles wyiie, which was given with great success last June, and was enjoyed by large audience in Harmonic hall, is to be repeated some time the latter part of November, The cast will be much stronger and the play, having had some of its weak points corrected, Is in much better rape. Miss Barney. Miss Wylie, and MT. Winchell will have their original parts. It will be pro duced under Mir. Wylie's management, as before, and no pains will be spared to put it on the stage in the best man. ner the stage of the hall will permit.
 The object for which it is to be given is under the charge of Miss F, K. Arm- stead, and although of private nature, is most worthy one, and will have the hearty support of many.

FERMENTATION OF YorEns.

An afternoon paper prints the follow ing, which conveys wrong impression on the subject:
 In making out the registry lists of voters for the coming election General Registrar John P Carney and the dep uty ward registrars have hit upon a plan new to New Haven. Instead of the deputy registrars calling at each
 house and taking the names of the
 men therin who may wish to vote,
 blanks will be left at the houses. One of these blanks is to be made out by any cleo or who chooses and by him returned to the deputy registrar in his
 ward
 The blanks are to be returned to the
 registrars through the mails in an envelope properly addressed. The en- velopes will not require postage stamps. The letter carriers will take them to the post office. where due stamp will be stamped on them be- fore they are delivered to the regis trars, who will pay the postage re- quired.
 "rhe fact is" said General Registrar Averill last evening when interviewed on the subject, "the registrars are go- ing from house to house as usual talk ing the names. This is being done and has been done just as heretofore. The change made is in the line of securing more complete and accurate registra-
 ton than ever before. We send out blanks only in cases where personal in- vestigation has failed to locate the man.
 When we are unable to locate a man as old voter or gel his application to be
 made we leave envelopes containing blank applications and blank transfers, containing all necessary directions as to where to be made, where to apply, and, in fact, all requisite information on the eubject. We do this to secure as complete and thorough a registra ion of voters as possible, emitting no effort
 to personally locate voters or persons eligible for being made.'"

New Brunswick,N.

aided by such a send off from this

While the demand for retrenchment

There must be greater economy which

that. We are paying boom prices for
too many things, some of them necessi-
ties, other luXuries born OF boom. But
boom prices and boom values have had
their day, and individuals and corpora
tons alike must adjust their expecta-
tons and demands to the lower level
of things. 1t is not only a general
demand but specific one, made not
only by the individual taxpayer but
through public meetings, public organ
izations and the press.
But in lessening the burden as
whole it should not be forgotten that
there is demand that the burden be
more satisfactorily equaliZed. The
Eagle has been persuaded for years
that some are carrying more than their
share, while others have slipped out

The New Orleans Picayune derisiyely
asserts that the silver advocates desire
TO pay their debts in cheap money, IN

that at the same time these Silverites,
by remonetzing silver, would enrich
the mine owners by making his pro-
duct worth 81 % per ounce. The
Atlanta Constitution asks its contem-
porary how it is possible if silver is
raised in value 10 $1.23 per ounce
that the silver dollar will be depre-
ciated dollar. The Picayune can't

assertions are largely the stock in trade
arguments Of the goldites.

The six young gentlemen who con-

toricsn contest Of Indiana are adding
nothing to their fame by unfriendly
criticism of the committee of awards
who gave it to a young lady from a

stood that there were to be limitations
as to sex or religious faith, and even if
there had been, the time to protest was
before the contest The Inference is
that prejudice had no part in the
award. Even if it had, it is hardly
safe to assume that the leaning would
have been toward young lady from
