FLY THROUGH SPACE
TRAIN ON MONO RAILWAY TO MAKE

English Company Plans to Contract
Line Between Manchester aad Liver
pool On which ConveyAncss viii
Break All Existing Records.

A company has been organized in
England. and parliamentary powers
obtained, for the construction of
hign-speed mono-railway between
Manchester and Liverpool. The dis
tance is thirty four miles and the mag
nitude of the Undertaking may be real
lied from the fact that the estimated
cost of the lin. including works. land,
and buildings. ; not far short OF two
millions sterIing This line is intend
ed to be an express railway in the
highest sense Of the term for the thir-
ty-four miles between the two cities is
to be accomplish in twenty minutes,
an average speed of one hundred and
two miles an hour. This is about for
ty miles an hour faster than the high
est speed attained by our fastest ex-
press trains drawn by steam locomo-
tives.
Each train VIII consist of only one
vehicle carryils eighty passengers.
The electrical equipment consists of a
motor or motors With an equivalent of
1000 horse-power This power is ap
piled by means NJ chain gearing to two
or more of til eight double-flanged
wheels which rest on the mono-rail,
and by which the carriage is suspend
ed. There will De no gradients of any
Importance on tie line and as none
of the curves, ii is stated, will exceed
a radius of seven hundred and fifty
yards, it is expected that the trains
will easily negotiate the curves with
out causing and discomfort to passen-
gers even at the high speed contem-
plated. AS regards derailment. the
center of gravity will be kept so low
that it will be an absolute impossible
ity for the train to jump the track. At
one hundred miles per hour, however,
it will be readily understood that the
most perfect provision must be made
for checking anu stopping, both as re-
CARDS signaling and braking-power.
The trains will follow each other at
intervals of only ten minutes, the dis
tance separating them being thus
about seventeen miles. 1t is proposed
to subdivide the line into five sections
of about seven miles each, and the
danger signal at each point will re-
main on until the train has passed the
next. always giving the following
train seven miles in which to pull up
should anything have gone wrong with
the preceding train. AS regards brake
power. it is intended to use combi-
nation of the Westinghouse and an
electric brake, which can bring the
train to a standstill from speed OF
one hundred miles per hour in dis
tance of about five hundred yards. The
word can is used advisedly, as the ef-
feet OF such sudden retardation could
hardly fail to be extremely disagreeable
to passengers: and although an emer-
gency brake is essential, the chance OF
it being called into requisition is in
the highest degree remote. AS regards
acceleration, it is claimed that full
speed can be attained in a distance of
one and three-quarter miles from
starting point as the railway will be
free from all switches. points, level
crossings and intermediate stations.

Democratic Platform.

We your comm ittee on resolutions
and platform beg leave to submit the
following report:
We the Democratic party in Caddo
county in convention assembled, re-
affirm our allegience to the time hon
ored principles of our glorious party,
as advocated by Jefferson, Jackson
and Bryan,
We iudorse the Democratic plat
form adopted by the National Democ-
racy at Kansas City in 1901. We also
heartily endorse the Democratic Terri
torial Platform adopted at Enid April
- and renew our allegience to and
pledge Caddo county to the support
of Hon. VIM Cross our nominee for
delegate to Congress.
We hearty endorse the Anadarko
Democrat, the only Democratic paper
in Caddo county for its unswerving
fight for Democratic principles. We
invite the voters of all parties who
are in sympathy with honest govern
ment and opposed to the present dis
honest administration of territorial
and county affairs, TO join with us to
the end that we may elect officials who
Will give us an honest economic ad-
ministration.
We condemn in unmeasured terms,
the party which fostered upon this
county a republican probate Judge
who has collected thousands of dollars
from property owners in this country
in excess of legal and honest fees and
call the attention of the voters of this
county to the fact that the present re-
publican attorney-general and COVER
nor have made and are now max
ing heroic effort to oust him from
office.
We pledge the nominees of this con
vention to give the people of CaddC
county an honest impartial, economic
administration of county affairs as sci
forth in this platform.
j. l., CORDIAL, Chairman.

THE COMMONER,
Mr.. Bryan'S Paper.

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation of 100, 600 copies, a record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for a national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner's regular subscription
price is Sl.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
Sl.50. The regular subscription price of
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is 800.

BIuecont Boys Last RIM Feo.t-

London Daily Mall.
The Bluecoat boys went to the Mansion House
for their buns and money for the last time YES
terday, and the historic occasion was more than
a trirs sad AS the lord mayor said in his little
speech TO the boys. 1t IS $50 years since King
Edward VI founded Christie Hospital. and the
same Easter ceremony has been performed prac-
tically without intermisston since then. But in a
few weeks from now the school is 10 be removed
TO Horshsm, in Sussex, and so yesterdays was
the last Easter visit TO the lord mayor.
The boys TO the number OF nearly 500 began
their march through the streets 10 the Mansion
House at 1:l5 o'clock. and on their arrival We're
grouped around the walls OF the Egyptian Hall
As they filed out each boy received a couple OF
buns. some by accident managing to get four.

heap OF silver on the table in front OF him. dealt

gentle bow Of thanks Fourteen lucky Gre
clans got a guinea each, and ten junior Gre
clans half that sum-; Thirty-four monitors
were the recipients OF half a crown each. and
57 OF the rank and file were consoled with So
shillings.
In possession OF the buns and money they
walked further along, and at a table they were
RECALLED with lemonade and clarct cup. on the
balcony they ate their buns in sight OF the whole
city, and soon the entire number, having passed
through the ceremony. they departed for Christs
Hospital and a sermon. So the BIuecoat bows
left the Mansion House forever.
