other commonwealth in the union, and is much in

Electric Trains Go Through Subway
 From New York to Harlem.
 New York, Aug. 1S.-For the purpose of establishing a test. power has been turned on in the Rapid Transit subway and electric trains run over the line from downtown stations to Harlem The long predicted trip from the City Hall to Harlem in fifteen minutes was accomplished.
 Most of the trains crept slowly past the stations, but were speeded beyond One Hundred and Sixteenth Street. The climax of the test was made by picked crew with four cars. run at high speed over the entire route. Some of the turns were made at a dizzy gait. precautions having been taken to have the track clear for one great effort of the feat The experiment was a complete success and Harlem was reached well within the time allowance of fifteen minutes To those on the train the stations appeared and melted away as in a picture. So quietly did the cars move at highest speed. that only the watchman heard them pass ing.

To rmbroil FoIk With the Machine

To Hmbr6ii Folk With the Machine St. Louis Special to New York World.
 As a result of the publication in Re- publican papers of Missouri this morn ing of a vicious attack on Joseph w. Folk. Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, by United States Senator Will liam J. Stone. the fight between FOLK and the old machine which, up to the time of the last State convention had completely dominated Missouri politics and Missouri ofices. seems bound to be reopened.
 Senator stone charged that MT. Folk months ago had sought an alliance with sam B. Cook and Albert o. Allen, representing the machine, and that at the recent meeting of the State Com mittee, when Stone demanded that Folk place himself on record for or against Cook and Allen, who are nomi- nees on the ticket with him, he refus- cd to do so.
 "supporting Ticket with Knife.'
 Mir. Folk replied this evening to Senator Stone in a caustic statement which opens by declaring that Senator stone seems to be supporting the ticket with a knife" and saying that he has been gliding around trying to create trouble"
 "I most emphaticaliy deny" says Folk, that asked either Mir. Cook or Mir Allen to go on the ticket. or that I promised alliance, directly or indirectly, with either of them, or that there was any alliance. l opposed their nomination.
 "wheri the convention named the ticket I gave an. interview accepting the situation, as all the nominees had pledged themselves to the platform and k~ uoa in " ing out the policies had advanced. said that if I found that any of them were not in good faith I would un- hesitatingly say so.
 when the State Committee meeting was called I was asked to confer ence at the Southern Hotel with Sena- tor Cockrell, Senator Stone, Judge Evans, Mr. Vandiver. Mr. Seibert, MT. Mcleod and MT. Cook Senator Stone arrogantly demanded that I go before the committee and say that l would support the ticket I told him that I had alread expressed my views on the ticket and would do so again In my own way and In my own time.
 SeIf-Respect Before once.
 "I have been told that Senator stone was melting this man to question my loyalty to the ticket and to demand that I say something the evident pur- pose being to cmbarrass me as much as possible and keep me from repeat ing my attitude on the ticket. so as to make Mir. Cook the issue and not the principles of the platform.
 '"An of these controversies are plain Iy intended to divert the public mind from the issues on which the campaign for the nomination was carried on to collateral disputes. propose to keep up the fight just as have from the beginning. While the Governor ship is a great honor. if I find in achieving 1t that I must forfeit my self-respect I will keep my self respect"

 Campaign Canard.
 Roanoke. Va, Aug. 1s.-The follow ing letter from H. c. Davis. the Dem ocratic candidate for Vice-President, has been made public hero:
 "Elkins, w. Va, Aug. ,15. 1904.
 MT. l. V. Johnson, Roanoke, Va: My dear MT. Johnson-I am glad to have your letter calling my attention to the publication placing me In an at titude of hostility to the laboring classes. No one who knows me per- sonally, or is at all acquainted with the circumstances of my life. will put any credence in the statements to which you refer. I think I can well claim that I belong to the laboring class. For many years I worked in the ranks as wage-earner. and I know what 1t Is to earn my living by the sweat of my brow. On the other hand. have been large employer of labor, tn coal mines, lumber mills, railroads, etc, and have never had any serious ,trouble with our men.
 T can recall but two instances in which there were strikes, and these were of short duration and peaceably | settled. No man has ever been dis charged from our service because he was union man, or been evicted from a company house for any reason. l think you will find that the conditions of the railroad man and the miner. in | connection with the enterprises I have directed, will compare most favorably with those in other localities of the country.
 T have always believed, and my conviction came from the hard school of experience, that measured by the character of the work he does, and the cost of living. every man Is entitled to full compensation for his services.
 "I am charged with having institute ed proceedings which led to an injunc- tion against strikers by Judge Jackson of this State. The fact is that I had nothing whatever to do with the case and knew nothing about the matter until I read of it in the newspapers. The injunction did not apply to the men in our employ. nor pertain to them in any way. On the contrary. I re- member on one occasion of one of our superintendents suggesting an injunc- tion against our men and \ declined to consider 1t. H. G. Davis."

CURED RYCUrlcURA

"r was troubled with eczema on tho face for i've months during which time I was in the care of physicians. My face was in such a condition that I could not go out. It was going from bad to worse and gave up all hope, when a friend of mine highly recom- mended Cuticura Remedies. The first night after washed my face with Gu. ticura Soap and used Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent it changed won- derfully, and continuing the treatment it removed all scales and scabs. From that day was able to go out, and in 6 month my face was as clean as ever." THOMAS J. SOTH, 3l7 Stagg St.,
 Brooklyn, N. Y.
 The above letter was received in 1898 and he again writes us Feb. l9, 1908, "I have not been troubled with eczema since"
 The agonizing itching and burning of the skin as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disfgurement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suf- ferlng of infants, and anxiety of worn- out parents, as in milk crust, letter and salt rheum - all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap. Ointment and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evi- dencs. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures of the civilized world.
