the suburbs. For many years the peo-
pie of Budapest have been anxious to
have a railroad through beautiful An
Grassy street, but. for apparently valid
reasons, the Minister of the Interior
persistently refused to give his con-
sen to any such project. The original
proposition was that a horse railroad
should be constructed. but the Minister
promptly vetoed 1t. His argument
was that Andrassy street was mainly
used as a public promenade, and that
it's beauty and usefulness would be
lessened by the introduction of a
horse railroad.
Five years later-in 1SS7-the pro-
ject Of an electric street railroad with
an underground current was preached.
but when the Minister who vas then
in office heard of it he refused to sane
tion 1t, and on the same grounds as
his predecessor.
Finally the project of an under
ground electric railroad came to the
front, and, after some delay, the ne
cessary consent Of the authorities was
secured. According to this new plan
a road was to be constructed beginning
at the Gisella platz and thence passing
under the Waltzner boulevard and An
Grassy street to the Stadtwaldehen.
The greatest thoroughfares in the city
would thus be threaded, or, rather, I'M
dermined, and a ready means Of tran
sit would be secured from one import

Will Soon BE Entirely Abolished In
New England.
1t is evident that the time is near
at hand when fast day will have become
a thing of the past throughout New
England, says the Boston Transcript.
A very significant indication of the
trend of popular feeling in regard to
the annual fast day observance was
shown in the determined action of
President Tucker OF Dartmouth college
in announcing that the college routine
would take its usual course on Thurs
day, the day appointed for fast day,
under protest, by the governor of New
Hampshire. President Tucker says he
abominates a religious farce and that
he agrees with Gov. Ramsdell that fast
day should be abolished. Fast day is a
remnant of the otherwise extinct SUI
premacy of church over state in things
which do not properly belong under
the formers charge. Within the last
generation immense changes have come
over the religious community in the
eastern states by the growth of the
~Episcopalian element, the great influx
of Catholics, and the liberalizing of all
protestant denominations, not except
ing the Trinitarian congregational
body, which in many respects, espe-
cially as to form Of worship, approx
mates wonderfully close to the prelatic-
al body which it was at one time its
cardinal article OF faith to abhor.
Fast day would have been abolished
years ago had men dared to act up to
their convictions. But too many OF us
are apt to be guided in our public acts
by what we believe are other mems
convictions, perhaps because OF the
fact that other men are in the majority
and their convictions must. therefore,
be respected out Of policy. II for no
higher consideration. But the time is
now at hand when the example OF Mas
sachusetts VIII be followed and when
fast day. having long been but a Lying
corps will be buried out Of sight in
every part OF New England.

ant point to another. This plan was
adopted January %, 1894, and there
was a distinct stipulation that the
road should be in working order by
the time of H~ungary's millennium, in
1896. Quick work therefore vas neces-
sary. for the task was gigantic in its
way, and not to be easily accomplished
within two years.
Actual work was begun on August
10, 1894, and it was kept up without in
Permission till the completion of the
road. The line was laid with two rails,
the entire length being $500 meters.
Along the route there are eleven sta
tions. at which passengers get on or
off. Nine of these stations are under
ground and two are in the open air.
Everything appertaining to the work
is of the strongest and most durable
material, and the utmost pains have
been taken to insure for the passengers
comfort and safety. Lights are scat
tered freely through the tunnel, some
being used as danger signals. Thus a
red light shows that the train is to
stop and a white light that the road IS
clear. In case the lights get out of or
der a telephone can be used, for each
station is provided with a telephone.
The carriages are spacious, luxur-
ious, and are constructed after the
most approved models. They are
twenty in number, fourteen of which
can be used singly.
The road was finished at the APP
pointed time, and has been running
since then from 6 a. m. to l a. m.
Trains follow each other in rapid sue
cesssion, and during the busiest time
of the day there is only two minutes
Roadway. From the start the road has
been popular, which is proved by the
fact that during the first five months
the number Of passengers amounted to
2,261, $40. The capital of the road is
$500, 900 forms, of which 1000 900 for
ms are kept as a reserve fund.
The government, or municipal, con-
cession lasts for ninety years. In 1910,
however, the concession to the Buda-
pest Electric Railroad Company Will
lapse, and then the franchise Of the
present road will revert to the city OF
Budapest. Until then the Franz josef
and the Budapest Electric companies
will apparently work together.
In regard to the management OF the
new road some rigid rules have been
laid down. Thus, 1t was enacted that
during the first fifteen years the fare
OF each passenger shall not exceed ten
kreuzers. After that time a change
may be made If the interests Of the
road or the passengers require It.
If the road su~cceeds-and there
seems no doubt about 1.-THE city Of
Budapest viii share in the success. Ac-
cording to the terms Of the concession.
Budapest is to receive NJ taxes from
the road for the first twenty years, but
after that time it is to receive one per
cent Of the gross receipts between the
twentieth and the thirtieth year. two

When the sheriff turned into the pri-
vate ~thoroughfare he began 70 review
the directions that had been given MIN
at the postofice: Follow the lane and
you'll find a barn at the other end.
Back OF the barn there's another short
wagon track leading down into a Oh
low. In that hollow there Is a house,
and in hat house you'll find Juan Mel
SON."
He repeated those instructions oyer
and we again to the accompaniment
of the clatter Of the horses hoofs
against the clods OF frozen earth and
the creaking Of the buggy which
lunged in and out of the deep ruts anu
wheel tracks. The snow had been stiff
ing down lightly at intervals through
out the morning. but along toward
noon the weather had moderated a lit
tie and the low-hanging clouds gave
promise Of a heavy storm, which had
fairly set in by the time the sheriff
reached the barn. There were high
bars impeding his progress at that end
Of the lane, and he grumbled fretfully
when he got out into the snow to let
them down. He led his horse through
the barn yard to where the cattle were
huddled close together in an open shed
and headed him into a econd lane that
ran down to the hollow. 1t was only a
short distance down the slope to the
single house that stood in the depres-
sion of land and the sheriff did not get
back into the buggy.
1t was q little house that Juan Nelson
lived in, half frame and half log. The
weather boarding had fallen off in
some places and where the mortar had
crumbled away there were chinks be-
tween the logs through which flakes
of snow seemed to be ~insiduously drift
ing. When the sheriff first turned in
to the scarce-deined roadway there
was no person in sight around the lit
tie cottage, but before he was halfway
down the incline a flock Of b~are-headed
children. accompanied by three dogs.
swarmed out from the back of the
house and stood watching him bashful-
ly. He spoke to the largest boy, who
had advanced farthest to meet him.
and that red-headed youngster took to
his heels and ran toward the real of
the building whence he had just APP
peared.
There was no fence around the rude
dwelling and the sheriff, following the
boys lead. made his way into the back
yard. Soon after leaving the barn the
sound of an ak had been heard, and
when the officer came to a halt In the
midst Of the small regiment of chill
dren he saw that it was a woman who
was splitting wood. She was tall and
gaunt and thinly clad. She ceased
chopping when her visitor alighted and
leaned against the handle of the ak.
which rested firmly On the log.

THE DIANA VAUGHN HuMsuo!
A scandai which Interests Many Coun-

- -
trles-Gigantic Hoax.
A scandal which interests many
countries was revealed in Paris re-
Gently. A man named Leo Taxil. by
birth a Marseillais, has for a long
time been putting a woman named
Diana Vaughan, who he declared was
the secret head of the freemasons,
who were alleged, In America at least.
to be devoted to the worship OF Satan,
says the London Spectator. She her
self, under the auspices Of Gen. Pike,
an old and respected American mason.
was married to Asmodeus, a devil OF
high rank. This rubbish found be-
lief among some clerical and ignorant
catholics. Leo Taxi was received in
audience by the pope and the greatest
interest was manifested In Diana
Vaughan, who was represented as sin
cerely repentant and a convert to
catholicism. and to whom Cardinal
Parocchio, a candidate for the papacy,
actually wrote a letter of sympathy.
Taxil has now made a public speech in
Paris. in which, in the presence of
many priests. be confessed that the
whole story was a gigantic hoax got
up by him out of sheer love of mysti-
~fication, Diana Vaughan being a type
writer of his acquaintance who knew
nothing of Gen. Pike or Asmodeus
either. The auditors were very much
inclined to lynch NJ. Taxil, who had
to be protected by the police, and
whose motive for his di~screditable i'm
posture they evidently doubted. He
was probably seeking cash. His stories
had a ready sale, and there are men in
Paris who would do anything to dis
credit the catholic church, which, no
doubt, is inclined by tradition to be
rather credulous about free-masonry.
1t is probable that a good many of the
stories about Satanism in Paris have
