THRILLING TROLLEY TRIP.

Experiences 0n a Record Brea1xang
 RuR I'm Germany.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Phil adeiphia Press, who was one of the small party on the Berlin-zossen cleo trio train when it traveled at the record speed of 125 miles an hour, thus de- scribes 1t:
 Every one on board was nervous and excited, even Dr. Schulz, the head of the state railways, and the famous electricians, Privy Councillor Misani and Herren Lachner, Zimmerman and Bor- ries. All was under the direction of Dr. Reichel, who has conducted all the experiments.
 Dr. Reichel got on in front and care fully scrutinized the motor car and in- spected the wheels, brakes and springs with keen, quiet eyes. Then he turned a handle, and off we started, steady as a rock. The line under us was a solid mass of masonry, steel, cement and stone. Every yard a strong iron sleeper imbedded in cement held the steel rails in wise.
 AS we. approached Marienfelde the speed was increased, and we began to fly, but with hardly any oscillation. Trees, houses and telegraph posts shot past like lightning. But when Dr. Reichel gave another turn these ob- Jects became blurs, indisnnguishable shadows passing us.
 Then we drew up gradually and ar, rived at Zossen, having made fourteen miles and half in eight minutes. We started back to Marienfelde and cover ed the same distance in the same time to second.
 Now" said pr. Reichel, i've shall see what she can do."
 We squirmed. No one was com. fortable.
 Dr. Reichel took a careful look around, and off we went, the speed in creasing every moment.
 Past Mahlow, Dahlwitz and Rangs- dorf we clattered and the speed ter , rif1c-three miles and an eighth in one minute and half!
 It was a cool day, and the impact of the wind was unbearable, whistling through every crevice of the car Yet we were all freely perspiring with ex- citement. Fourteen thousand volts had been employed to send us on our mad course

 Edward Deveney was charged in the city court this morning with in toxication and resistance. Officer Noonan who arrested him testified that he created disturbance in Kenney's saloon, corner of Dublin and East Main streets and was put out of the place. The officer chased him from Dublin street to Cole street and when taken into custody he put up fight and attracted crowd of 200 children and turned on the vials of his abuse. Deveney said he was persuaded to drink, declaration which made all the policemen in court smile. That his friends got him into an argument and because he would not agree with them they kicked him out of the saloon. He promised that if let go he would never drink again and pleaded for the sake of his large family of children" He was fined $5 and costs and given 30 days in jail. sf.

x-LovE AT THE HURDLES.

Howard Paxton prospered in his way
well as did Isaac Bunton. The uneasy
fears excited by the words OF Turnbull
at their supper were soon dispelled by hts
experiences at the office. There was one
early unpleasantness, but that was ex-
planned. When his first contribution to
the paper appeared, the Objectionable IL
lustration to the verses also appeared in
it's place. Howard went to the Office
thoroughly angry. He was glad there
was no contract; he would resign! But
before he could utter a word Of protest.
when he called on Mr.. Carson for that
purpose, the managing editor, who SEEM
ed to be in a towering rage, exclaimed:
''Well, 1 guess that art editor will obey
Instructions after this-wherever he gets
work l declare, Paxton, l never was so
angry in my life! He needn't tell me
about not understanding orders; about
the rush of work that upset him; about
his wife and family. He should think Of
his wife and family before he makes such
a blunder as to leave that picture in
your verses. And then for the stupid fell
low to come here and whine that he can't
get work anywhere else. Let him starve."
Howard's rage instantly passed and he
was all compassion Il was awfully put
out by that picture being run, after you
ordered it killed; but if it's a question of
any one being discharged who needs
work Id feel much worse TO have that
done than TO nave my stun pictured Win
ballet girls
"Oh. you're too soft-hearted. Paxton.
Let the fellow go. It'll teach him les
son-to starve little"
mo, really, Mr.. Carson. I'd feel like
thief If the man was discharged on my
account"
IF you insist upon it, the editor said
reluctantly, "Tn give him another
chance"
Il really wish you would" Howard said
earnestly.
said Carson, turning to his stenographer,
'and say that he has another chance"
s'Yes. sir" the stenographer replied, but
instead of waking any note he glanced
at Howard in a way which said. LAS

sons commonest pretenseP'
When Howard grew hardened to seeing
his name and picture often and glaringly
displayed in the columns of the paper and
on the blu be ards of the elevated road
stations he enjoyed his neY experiences.
His work was hard. but he liked to work
hard. He agreed to write ten columns a
week; but he wrote when he liked, and
as he was accustomed to day work he
wrote in the daytime now, and this gave
him his evenings with Grace, an arrange
ment they both keenly enjoyed. They
searched for. found and luxuriated In
good music, until Turnbull who was their
frequent companion, declared that he was
at last convinced of the truth Of the
saying he had long doubted. that archi-
lecture was the art most closely allied
to music. mo one merely human crea-
ture could possibly have two separate en-
thusiasms such as yours for architecture
and music.'' he said to Grace. Il see It

the best models she saw; and. with the
exception of young men whose interest
seemed to have sentimental leaning. her
new acquaintances found her quietly
frank and amiable. But Mrs. Bunton
saw another side OF Daisy; saw that her
interest in the theaters she most fro
quented was more In the performers than
in the performance Daisy had already
picked up an acquaintance with other
young women. who, like her, were per-
sistent matinee goers, and their talk was
Of the men on the stage. The mother saw
that it was in this life that the girls
whole real interest was centered-aside
from the one thing they never mentioned
Yet Daisy did not seem to be wayward
minded-she was willful, rather-and II It
had not been for the appearance OF tho
thing, her mother would have as freely
trusted her to go out alone now as in the
unconventional days of White River The
love she bore even for the memory OF
Harry Lawton would save her from ac-
tual evil, her mother believed.
