Fast Railway Trains.
From the New York Press.

FROM the New 4Ork Press.
We are so accustomed to beating the
world at everyt hing that 1t is difficult to
believe there can be railway train in
France that exceeds the speed attained
by our fastest expresses Yet the Journal
of German Engineers declares that the
fastest train in the world at present is
one on the French Northern Railroad
which makes it's regular run from Paris
10 Amiens, a distance of 50 miles, with
out stop, in cna hour and a quarter
which is equal to 65 miles an hour The
time schedule of French railways con-
tains not less than ten trains which, in
distances of more Than 81 miles, make
an average cf over IS miles an hour
Compared with this record, says the
Journal, the English railroads are con-
siderable behind. The best time--60 miles
an hour-is made on only one train be-
tween Perth and Forfar, a distance of
33 miles. The German railroad manage
ment does not Pc rmit a speed of more
than Sc miles and hour and the average
is much less. The fastest trains run be-
tween Wittenberg and Hamburg, at the
rate Of 50 miles an hour.
The Journal says of the Americas roads
that our forced time is in the nature of
a double experiment. Our highest record
l believe, was made on the Burlington
Route, between Siding and .Arion. where
for distance of "a miles a speed of 1870
miles an hour was attained The EN-
pire State Express ran a mile in 80 sec
onds. equal TO over 112 miles an hour. A
Pennsylvania train has run at the rate
of 102 miles an hour The regular sched-
ule of the Empire State Express. New
York-Albany, is less than 81 miles an
hour, and that of the Baltimore and
Ohio, Baltimore Washington, is about the
same 1 have no doubt that many of us
have ridden at the rate of 1CO miles an
hour or over when going down grade
trying to make time on the Central or
Pennsylvania. 1t is possible to pick up
insulated miles on nearly any first-class
roads where such speed Is probable. But
the record of long-distance regular runs
must go to the Chemin de Fer du Nord.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Movements of the People Well

Washington. June 1.-The Swedish min
lister. Mr.. Grip. sailed for Europe Wednes-
day, to spend his annual vacation in his
native land. Count Shebeko, the new
military attache of the Russian embassy
has just arrived in Washington. but has
not yet been presented to our Secretary
Of State. That pleasing duty will doubt
less be performed by Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador. before he goes to
New York with his grandn.ece and other
members of his official household, early
in June, preceding their departure for
Europe. During their short stay in the
metropolis, several entertainments are
planned for them by distinguished Rus
slams in that city. Among the hosts will
be The first Russian consul TO Canada,
NJ. Struve, who will arrive in New York
at that time, and M. Kosakevitch, the
new Russian consul Count Cassini and
his niece will go directly to Paris, and
later make visit in Russia, returning to
the United States in November.

or any other country, for that matter
unaccompaned by her husband, just like
the ladies of this heather land! Truly,

injured by too frequent hard washings.
When there is an hereditary predispo-
sition to early grayness and lack of natu-
raj oils in the hair a conscientious and
regular application of water fosters this
weakness. The tendency of dry hair is to
grow coarse, and therefore constant
use of artificial oils is necessary after
every washing. The thing to do for stiff
hard hair that is growing gray is constant
brushing In the fall of the year when the
proper shedding of old hair can be ex-

PARIS FAIR ENDS IN BLAZE OF
ILLUMINATION
FINANCIALLY A SUCCESS
Brilliant Night Fete Celebrates It's
Ciose-Aggregat Attendance More
Than $4,000, oo0-Balance Sheet OF
Exposition Shows Advantage to
Paris in Many Ways.

Paris, Nov. 13-The booming OF
cannon from the first story of the
Eiffel tower announced that the expo
sition of 1900 had ceased to exist. 1t
ended in a blaze of illumination, the
final evening being celebrated by a
night fete. The attendance, however,
was small, visitors being kept away
by a cold, drizzling rainfall. 0facial
statistics show that the exposition
was a gigantic success from the point
of view Of attendance. When the
gates closed last evening more than
100000 persons had passed through.
The accompanying day this year
brought out more than 600. 900 visitors,
compared with maximum of 350, 377
in 1889. Last evening tickets which
brought sou in the afternoon sold at
the rate of five for sou.
France expended TWO or three
hundred million francs to erect the
exposition. She has recovered them
easily in their increase of treasury re-
ceipts, which for this year alone are
nearly 100.0O0,0Oo francs, in the sur
plus Of the Partisan duties, in
the monuments remaining to the state
or city and in quays and bridges, and
the improved transportation facili-
ties bequeathed by the exposition.
Moreover, there has been a general
toilette of the city, which contributed

presented some unusual features and
is really remarkable. Snipe hill was
cut down, and the st. Paul and Beloit
line of the Milwaukee line was bridged
over, as was also the Alton line of the

Steel is being laid at the rate Of two
miles per day by the use of a track

trains follow the track layers closely,
so that the road-bed will be ballasted
almost so soon as laid.

Not only have the newspapers of

emphasized the fact, but it is known
throughout the breadth of the land as
we'll that the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers great consolidated
shows, which are to exhibit at Greene
vile, Friday, Oct. 8, and Bristol Sat
urday, Oct Q, far surpass any similar
organization in the number of wild
beasts, amphibia, elephants, horses,
performing animals, riders, aerialists,
acrobats, clowns, leapers, characters,
jockeys, great artists and glorious acts,
and in the quantity and quality OF en-
tertainment furnished for the ordinary
price of admission. Among the most
notable new prodigies introduced will
be found Hassan ALI, the Egyptian
giant, said to be the tallest man on
earth, and for the past two years O big
feature with the Barnum and Bailey
show in London and Great Britain.
The number of principal male and fe-
male bareback riders has increased to
nineteen; lhat of the clowns to twenty
five, and in the aerial and acrobatic de-
partments the additions are proportions
ately large and brilliant. The grand
double street parade has been made
still more richly and uniquely attrac-
tive, and in every direction still greater
effort has been made and greater outlay
incurred to more than meet the popular
demand for cheap, wholesome, stirring
and hilarious entertainment.
