ent cities, except in Chicago. who are
pretending to act as representatives OF

THE JUBILEE SUCCESS.
NotAing Occ.rrsd to Mar the Ceoplsts
neaa Of the ProErams


asss Of the Progran.
London, June 2G-1'he Brtons' colos-
sal pageant, one Of the greatest the
world has ever seen, has been complet-
ed without contretemps TO mar Its
success. This has been an anxious
week for those In authority, but the
whole scheme for the celebration oil the
Queens jubilee was largely planned,
carefully carried out. and has been
triumph for the management ana an
object lesson in unity for the hosts or
guests. 1t Is an open secret that the
Prince of Wales was among the harl-
est workers. Not a single step OF i'm
portance was taken without his ap-
proval, and much OF the praiseworthy
work done il directly due to his initia-
tive. A notable exception to this state
OF affairs was the religious service out
side st. Paurs cathedral which was
the Queens idea. When 1t was suS-
geste,l. II filled the officials with dis
may. and disaster was feared as re-
suit of the rush of slchtseers into that
narrow-necked part Of London. but, the
courage and resource accomplished. the
Queens wishes. and the task Of Inanag-
Ing the hosts. numbering couple OF
million people. within that exceedingly
traordinary excitement. was carried
out in Il marvellous manner. thanks TO
the skill OF the police and their strate-
gy in preventing the possibility OF
rushes. and also thanks to the admira-
BILE demeanor of the crowds.
Unqualified and generous approval
of the festivities has been bestowed by
the press and people OF all nations and
communities. The evident disposition
Of the whole world TO share In the ju-
bilee and extend 1t has caused the live
liest satisfaction and added to the gen
eral rejoicing. The naval review was n
fitting termination of the weeks cere-
monies.
A pleasant feature OF the week was
the Americans complete success. The
United States special embassy was cas-
lily the most prominent and the most
honored throughout the celebrations by
all. 1t Is almost needless to add that
Colonel John Hay, the United States
ambassador, Is equally gratitied. Both
he and the rest of the regular embassy
have done all in their power to insure
Mr.. Reid's success.
The feeling In the press Is indicated
by editorial Of the Standard Of Friday,
which said: at would be most un-
gracious omission TO forget to offer sin.
ccre thanks to all foreign countries
that have participated in the Jubilee.
They have added materially 10 the
pleasure Of the Queen and her people
by their ncver-to-be-forgotten kindness.
So far rs the Americans are concerned.
we believe they are almost as pleased
and proud MS though the Jubilee We're
their own"

An important experiment has been
made on the New York & New England
railroad. which seems to establish the
fact that trains propelled by electricity
can be run on the tracks used for steam
trains, without interference with the
regular traffic. An electrical train was
run between Berlin and Hartford. a
distance OF thirteen mIres. on a regular
schedule. between two trains drawn by
steam locomotives in the ordinary way.
The power was conveyed by the use Of
a third rail in the center OF the track.
and no intermediate feeders were used.
The distance was covered In eighteen
minutes.

Study OF questions pertaining to the
tarin leads to the conclusion that there
is no east and west, no north and no
south. in the sense OF half a century
ago. In the period preceding the war
the east was the manufacturing sec
t!on, the west was the producer OF ag-
ricuitural products. and the south
yielded little but the crops peculiar to
that section. But conditions have
changed. Some OF the greatest manu-.
featuring concerns are in the west and
In the south. The varied industries OF

tributed than they were. The ideal
