The advantages possessed by railway
travellers in this country over those on
the continent of Europe are the sub
ject OF a recent report by Consul Mona
CHAN of Chemnitz. The c~onsul's facts
and figures are taken from the recently
published results of an investigation
made by an imperial German commits
sion. Summarized, the report shows
that compared with American roads
the German, and, indeed, all continen-
tai railroads lack speed and comfort,
and 1t is more expensive to travel in
Europe than in America. The German
commissioners while here travelled q
great deal, covering over 5000 miles.
AS a standard American road the New
York Central is instanced with it's ex-
press train to Chicago, covering 1860
kilometers (969 miles) in twenty hours,
an average of 4SHs miles per hour, 60
ing owe one part-29.8 miles-at an
average of GA miles per 60 minutes. A
special run of $50 kilometers Oils
miles) Is ~instanced which was done in
n hour. This is about the distance
from Berlin to Dresden, which takes
nearly three hours ON a fast German
train.

Interest in the projected information
al exposition at Paris three years hence
Is beginning to show itself at the
French capital. Inquiries from all
quarters of the globe are pouring in,
and nations other than the United
States have manifested an intention of
taking a conspicuous part. American
merchants and manufacturers, how
ever, are greatly interested, and for
that reason, Consul-General Morss has
made an extended report on the sub
ject to the State Department. Prepare
lions for the exposition are even now
well advanced. The works OF demoli-
ton and construction, for which the
period Of a little more than three years
remaining will barely suffice, have be-
gun and will be vigorously prosecuted.
The exposition will open April Is, 1900,
and will close November S, nearly sew
en- months later. The site will COM
prise the public grounds OIL both sides
of the Seine from the Place de Ia Con-
corde, the great monumental square in
the very center Of the city, to a point
beyond the Pont d'Jena, embracing the
Champ de Mars, the Trocadero Palace
and Park (site of the exposition of
1881, the Esplanade des Invalldes. the
Quai d'Orsay, the Quai de la Confer

CAUGHT A CHILD ON THE FLY.
Hurled From a Runaway Buggy. But
Saved by Bystander.

The most fortunate catch ever witnessed
in Elizabeth, N. j.. was made few otter
Moons ago, by a young man who refuses to
give his name.
John Conard, of Elizabeth avenue, was
out driving with his three year-old child.
The horse took fright and rnn away. In
trying to stop the animal Mr. Conard wss
thrown out. He was cut and bruised but
not seriously. The child remained In the
buggy until tho horse crashed into q lamp
post. The shock brought the runaway to
II standstill and shot tho child into the air
rs though thrown from catapult. The
little one was but few feet from the win
dows OF Mornings drug, and was thrown
straight at them. but, while in the air, q
young man who had been standing in
front OF the store, caught the child. The
force with which the child was moving
threw the young man against the window,
but did not break It. The child was badly
scared but unhurt.

CHICAGO, Sept, S,-The sensation
caused by the disappearance of Lieut.,
Col. William A. Elderkln, commlssary
general of the department of the Mlssis-
sipPi was exploded In rather a ridicu-
lous way when the missing man strolled
into headquarters at the usual time to-
day. He was overwhelmed with con-
gratulatlons as to his apparent good
health, and was very much surprised
when told that the police had been
searching for him all night long, Cob
Elderkln, It appears. had accompanied q
party to one OF the theatres last evening,
It was so late when the play was over
that he concluded to stay down town for
the night and went to a hotel. His
family was SO worried over his absence
that the matter was reported to the po-
lice. Their anxiety was increased be-
cause of the fact that Col, Elderkin has
been the victim of temporary paralytc
strokes, and 1t was feared that he might
have been seized with one while on his
way home,
