4 REMARKABLE MISUNDERSTANDING.

Comparing conditions here with those which
existed in other cities while underground rail-
roads were in process of construction, the chief
engineer of the Rapid Transit Commission re-
Gently said:
While the subway was being built in Boston
the streets were all torn up. some OF them worse
than they are here.
Within a few days in the course of an ar
ticle which we have already quoted, THE Bos-
ton Transcript" has said:
The experience of Boston in this respect has
been something which should have taught the
Newly orkers lesson. Tunnelling under the
streets carried along Tremont-st. and
the whole line of the subway, just it has been
carried in London and other cities, without
interfering seriously with the of the streets.
Here is a singular and serious discrepancy. 1t
is impossible to doubt that THE Boston Tran
script" knows what it is talking about when
it says that the construction Of the Boston sub
way should have taught New-York a lesson;
that the work was done there along the whole
line, similar work done in London and
other cities without serious interference with
the use of the streets. Yet on the other hand,
it is difficult to believe that our Rapid Transit
Commissions chief engineer has not only neg
lected to ascertain how the Boston subway was
built and how the streets under which it runs
were affected, but has acquired a radically
wrong conception of the facts.
However, this strange misunderstanding on
the part of Mr.. Parsons is not a matter Of
great practical Importance When the Rapid
Transit Commissioners, recognizing as we are
sure that men Of their sagacity and solicitude
for the public welfare must recognize, the valid
lty Of the objections to the upturning of Broad
way and other great thoroughfares and the in
tensity of popular feeling on the subject, have
resolved to employ different system in future
undertakings, they will have no difficulty in
procuring such expert advice as they may need
from Boston, from Baltimore, where Mr.
Mcdonald built a great tunnel in accordance
with plans which did not subject the people OF
that city to any such disresses as this COM
munity has borne for three years

BUY ANTHRACITE NOW.

The sales of anthracite coal this summer have
been extremely large. Moreover, mining opera
tons have been carried on at no low pressure
and the railroads and other corporations have
been storing up tall, thick heaps of the precious
fuel "a dollar saved is a dollar earned ran
the old maxim. "a dozen tons Of anthracite
"in the bin may be useful in case OF labor
troubles later is a saying which has found ex-
tensive acceptance and approval Men and
brethren, buy your anthracite now, and make
your purchases liberal. You can get great
deal Of fuel this month at fair prices.
Later the quotations will rise. Be prudent
Remember how you suffered last winter. Don't
take the chances of risk and dangers OF endur-
ing not only discomfort but actual misery from
lack of heat in the coming cold season. How
can you tell what Mitchell will do or leave I'M
done in midwinter? Get warm while you can
and keep warm. Get anthracite by all MEANS
and lay in large stores Of it. You may need
huge treasures of it when the snow is on the
ground. In any event, it is as good as gold IN
its way. No one can water it extravagantly or
make it worthless. Bear in mind Christmas is
coming and old King Coal, jolly old SOUL will
be wearing his crown of carbon when the icy
blasts are blowing.

4 FAST TRANsCONTLYEyTAL RUN

The rapid journey Of Henry P Lowe across
the American continent last week was q fine
performance. Starting from the metropolis at
2:45 p. m. Tuesday he reached Los Angeles at
1:O6 p. m. Friday. Making the proper allowance
for difference in longitude, the trip consumed IS
hours and q minutes, or only trife over three
days. The distance traversed was 3241 miles
Of which 2,265 was west OF Chicago Thus a
mean speed was sustained of nearly forty-five
miles an hour, while occasional flights at the rate
Of sixty and seventy were recorded. The achieve
ment was the more remarkable because the
best time previously made beyond Chicago-that
Of the Peacock special in 1900-was beaten by
about five hours. Thus an entirely new record
has been established for the trip from the At
lantic TO the Pacific Coast
To the successful outcome of this venture two
things contributed. One was the fact that for
the first one thousand miles-or 976, to be ex-
act-A1r. Lowe had the benefit of an established
service at the average rate Of 4SS miles an
hour. Probably this speed, for the length of
run, is nowhere equalled in the world; and
without such a magnificent start the journey
would not have been completed so promptly
