Naval officers of foreign stations
are often perpleXed by the sudden
changes in messages cabled from the
department at Washington. For in
stance, Admiral Stirling. on the Asia
tic, received a cablegram order few
days ago signed Morton" The ad-
miral replied that he would carry out
instructions and added: Who's Nor
TOM" The news of the cabinet change
had evidently not reached the Ameri-
can fleet on the other side of the
world. As these is only one other Nor
ton on the naval register-and he a
young lieutenant-the admiral may
have felt that he was being trifled
with

There is one habit that Henry g.
Davis. the octogenarian candidate of
the democracy, has contracted with
which he will not let even the dis
fractions of a campaign interfere. He
has a brother named Tom to whom he
has all his life made it a practice to
write a letter daily. They have never
had a disagreement. No matter how
many engagements he has with poll
ticians. Mr.. Davis goes to his room
early, even while in New York, to
write his daily letter to Tom.

TIME TO DENVER CUT
ST. PAUL ROAD REDUCES FIGURES
FOR THE TRIP NEARLY
THREE HOURS.
HIGH SPEED ON ENTIRE RUN

Arrangement With the Union Pacific
Marks important Change in West
ern Traffic.
With a new time card effective Sun
day, July 10, the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway eliminates two
hours and forty-five minutes from the
running time of passenger trains be-
tween Chicago and Denver.
Under the schedule that has been
prepared. the Overland Limited train,
operated Jointly by the Union Pacific
and the st. Paul, reduces its time
between the two cities from % hours
and % minutes TO 26 hours.
The distance between Chicago and
Denver is considerably over 1000
miles. which means a rate of about
forty miles an hour for the entire dis
tance.
Eastbound the time is cut even
deeper than westbound, three full
hours being eliminated from the seized
ule between Denver and Chicago.
BY the Encouragement the Overland
Limited of the St. Paul road leaves
Chicago at Cos p. m. and arrives in
Denver at 8 o'clock the following
night. Eastbound the train leaves
Denver at APO p. m. and arrives in
Chicago at 9:55 p. m. the next day.
To line up with the new schedule
the train that left Chicago at GAS a.
N. is operated only as far as Omaha,
and its leaving hour from Chicago is
changed from 9:45 a. m. to 7:15 a. m.
The reduction OF time between Chi
cago and Denver makes the St. Paul
a central figure in the transportation
world between the east and the Rocky
mountains.
