onds breaks the worlds record, and

1t has been generally conceded that
the record for long distance trains be-
longs to the Paris-Bayonne Sud ex-
press" which makes the run of 1864
miles in s hours and SO minutes, at an
average speed of Sab miles per hour.
The second best long distance sched-
ule is that Of the Empire State Express
between New York city and Buffalo,
440 miles, in s hours and Is minutes,
with an average of 1888 miles an hour.
Although the French claim that no
other long distance trains have APP
preached the sustained speed made on
the Northern of France between Paris
and Calais of fraction over a mile a
minute, yet the distance is 155 miles
less than that traversed on the New
York Central by the Empire State ex-
press, which, Notwithstanding it makes
no less than % Stacks" through
crowded streets and at grade crossings
and draw bridges, always arrives on
schedule time. Just as fair a compar-
ison can be made between the best

someone always ready to unite re-
fractory knots, pick up whatever she
might drop or fold away her things;
yet it was pleasant, too, to feel her
self quite alone whenever she entered
her own room. Tonight she was par
ticularly glad of this privilege. and
having taken of the opal eye, which
seemed somehow to burn her neck.
she blew out her candles and sat in
the white moonlight that streamed
through her window.
How long she SO remained in spe-
cies OF waking dream, that was half
painful, half1pieasant, she did not
know, but suddenly she was aroused
by curious sound underneath the
window.
Her elbows had been resting on the
sill, her chin nestled into her palms.
but now she sat upright, with a
humping in her heart that was loud
in her own ears. What had she heard ?
She hardly knew, once the sound had
died into silence. 1t had been jar
ring, grating noise.
She rose, and for moment stood
erect and still, then, bending out from
the window she looked down. She
could see the round, fat top of the
big bow window in the drawing-room
directly beneath. She could see the
moonshine lying like benediction of
peace upon the lawn, the long black
shadows of the trees, the path of
light that danced upon the river, glim-
mering up to her eyes, from between
the branches of willows and chest
nuts.
Nothing else moved. The night
seemed asleep and dreaming. Far away
a church clock struck one, two! and
the strokes were followed by soo-h-
ing, musical chime.
Whatever the sound had been, it did
not come again. Anne was almost
ready to believe that she had imasin-
ed it, or at all events, the dreadfulness
of it, yet she certainly had been start
led by she knew not what.
The pounding Of Iher heart as gradu-
ally it ceased, and was reduced to a
more normal beating, left her with a
sense of lassitude and fatigue. She
must have sat for almost two hours
there by the window, and though it
was July, she was chilled with creep
ing, eerie chilliness The thought that
she alone was awake in the old house
became frightful to her She pulled
the curtains together, and relighted the
two tall candles on her dressing table.
AS she did so she glanced down at
he opal which she had carelessly laid
there when she had taken it off, then
started back with low cry Of mingled
fear and mcredulity. 1t must be the
effect of the candle light, she told her
self, and yet it was strange, very horri-

at the century's close. The following
tables will give at a glance the best

but now we may be thankful If we get
one for forty-five.
The price of white potatoes is
about the same as usual, and as for
sweet potatoes, they are always real
luxuries at this season, so we may ex-
peet to pay a good price for them.
Onions are ten cents quart; last
year they were eight. And. as every
body knows, the milk in which these
are boiled always advances two cents
a quart at the approach of winter, and
the butter necessary TO give the dish
flavor has jumped from thirty to thir-

1t was stated as long ago as 1905
when locomotive engineering was in
its infancy. that there was no reason
why speed of 100 miles an hour could
not be attained. That was a rash pre-
diction. when the fastest trains of that
period could hardly overtake a COW;
but. with the powerful engines OF the

Now that the evidence is all in and
the experts have awarded the palm to
America for the fastest locomotives in
the world at the close OF this wonderful
century. we, can well afford to be gem
erous and admit that competition has
been close. In fact, while the quickest
train ia the world is said to be the
'hier" on the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad between Camden and Atlantic
City, the Northern Railway of France
contends that its recent run of 1S5

to twenty-five cents pound.
Mixed nuts have also gone from two
pounds for quarter to fifteen cents
pound, and as for good coffee. that
shows a rise OF Ave cents over last
year.
SO it is not an unfounded cry that
housekeepers now raise, when they
complain that things have gone up"
The Christmas dinner this year
comes high. The why behind this con-
trasting might furnish an interesting
topic for discussion at some OF the
women's card clubs where Hoyle Is now

A very good, yet not too extravagant,
Christmas dinner is the one here given,
the kind of dinner which will De eaten
in many homes on Tuesday next, quite
without knowledge on the part of any
except the hostess herself that it costs
fully a third more than did exactly the
same menu last year. Almost every
thing in the food line has gone up In
these prosperous times of ours.
Take the soup, for instance. the beef
shinbone OF which it is made, could be
had last year for six or seven cents
pound. This year it will cost eight or
ten.
The family which does not now use
canned salmon for salad is the exeep-
ton, so that it may be assumed that
the staple of the salad course indi-
Gated is to be had for is cents-instead
of the II quoted this time last year.
Lettuce, too, is less cheap, as well as
less good, than is usual at this season.
An unhappy-looking head now costs
about eight or ten cents. where last
year a capital, crisp one could be had
for five. Even the olive oil used for
the mayonnaise dressing is more ex-
pensive than heretofore And IL you
buy the patented salad dressings you
now pay, few cents more than ever
for not-over-good article.
Escalloped oysters are almost univers-
ally liked, and our fondness for them
is not in the least influenced by the
fact that next Tuesdays oysters will
have cost FIVE cents more than last
year. And the accompanying olives,
delicious little things-Ehen you hap
pen to think also-will also command
just exactly five cents more bottle
than last year.
Naturally. the piece de resistance"
at any and all Christmas dinners is
the turkey. II the weather happens to
be warm. turkeys may be had at very
low rates. but II cold the prices viii
go up.

THREE FATAL CASES AFTER TWELVE
DAYS FREEDOM FROM THE DISEASE
San Francisco. Feb. 27-The steamer Aus
traia arrived from Honolulu to-day. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Honolulu, writing
under date of February 20. says:
After twelve days passing without sign of the
plague, three cases discovered yesterday,
and all ended fatally. The victims were two
Chinese men and woman. half Chinese and
half Hawaiian. 1t is almost certain that one of
the victims came to his death through eating in
fected food from Chinese store.
1t is probable the case of the woman can be
traced also to infected food A part of the block
in which the woman lived was suspected some
time ago. and was destroyed by fire.
At meeting of the Board of Health yesterday
President Wood reported that the funds at its
command We're exceedingly low, and that more
money for carrying on the work Of fighting the
plague was Immediately necessary On Feb
ruary To- out of $14260O that had been appro-
priated for the use Of the Board of Health up
sequently only 81 600 remained available.
On this statement it was decided 70 ask the
Council of State for further appropriation of
$l000O0 The Council met and appropriated the
necessary money In addition, the of $40
523 appropriated for the extension and the
completion of the sewer system This last item
was appropriated, subject to the approval of
President Mckinley.
Consul Haywood, who had returned from a
visit TO HilO, reports conditions there being
satisfactory. Precautionary measures have
been taken regarding the shipments of sugar.
Consul Haywood reports undue excitement
at HilO. The residents are taking every possible
means of stamping out the plague, and portions
of the town which were in an unsanitary condi.
ton are being properly cleansed.
President Dole has received dispatch from
Secretary Hay approving the Presidents
scheme for the appointment of a commission TO
determine the losses sustained by sufferers from
the great fire. President Dole will appoint the
commission in few days. The ship Inverness
shire, which was blown out to sea from her
anchorage, Is believed 10 be safe. Her captain
and crew have been taken out TO her m a tug
boat, and have the vessel under contral
