Maintained Speed of Eighty Miles an

By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 19.-With barely
three minutes to spare and the belief
that even quicker time can be made If
desired, the New York Central's new
the Grand Central depot at 9:27 a. m
today at the end of her first run on
the Chicago-New York Is hour sched-
ule. When the train reached Buffalo
% minutes ahead of her schedule there
remained no necessity for record
breaking time and the flyer came
through the remainder of the distance
practically on the schedule which has
been in use for several years.
George H. Daniels, general passen-
said of the run: while no record
so far as 1 know, was kept of the time
between stations from Chicago to Buff
falo, I understand that a speed of so
miles an hour was maintained be-
tween Chicago and Elkhart, Ind, and
almost as great a speed at several
other points, notably between Cleve-
land and Erie. AS a matter of fact
the two hours difference between the
new Twentieth Century Limited and
the old, which had a schedule of twen-
ty hours between New York and Chi
cago, was made up on the lake shore
end of the run, the schedule between
Buffalo and New York being exactly
the same as the twenty hour train"

tonight to find out when the Russian
mission will arrive. When this is
known, it will be possible to decide
upon a date for the conference. The
general belief is that it will convene
about the middle of August.
AS has been reiterated In these dis
patches, Japan will not ask for an
armistice, insisting that the initiative
must come from Russia. The optimis-
tic reports of the last few days re-
ceived in st. Petersburg from the
front have greatly raised the hopes
of the Russians that land victory is
near and the war party is opposed to
the sending of a request for an armis-
tice at this time. Japan is not at all
desirous of a temporary cessation of
hostilities, for between now and the
beginning of the rainy season in Au-
gust, Oyama is expected to accomplish
great achievements in Manchuria.
However, after the plenipotentiaries
have been appointed, the informal dis
cussion of an armistice will be resumed,
and in case the president takes the in
itiative in suggesting a limited truce,
both belligerents will give the matter
serious attention.

timenial BLUM TO brighten the timid
but well-directed, united effort to
secure a fair remuneration for our
great staple. Other sections, nota-
bly, Tennessee and Kentucky, where
conditions were much worse, have
made radical changes in handling
their tobacco crops, and instead of
getting Gas in 1909 starvation prices.
have sold their entire crop of black
tobacco for a good round price, and
lifted the growers from a state of
gloomy depression.
In a section OF Virginia the grow
ers were respondent over the prices.
They have united and pledged their
association to furnish 500, 900 lbs. of
tobacco. Why cannot our people,
who are getting poorer, because of
the very low price of our tobacco,
come together as a man and accom-

Road Building.

During the last few weeks the
State Highway Commission has writ
ten to the County Commissioners
throughout the State, calling their
attention to the provisions of the
State Road Law regarding the man.
ner and time of filing applications
for State Aid. 1t is very desirable
TO have the applications well in hand.
the necessary surveys made, and
everything in readiness SO that con-
struction can be commenced early
in the spring. The utmost advan-
tage can then be taken of the good
weather for road building.
The law requires that all applica.
tions shall be filed before March LIST
in any year for aid during that
year. The work will be greatly
facilitated by having these applica-
tions in the hands OF the Highway
Division at as early a date as posi-
BILE. 1t is also well TO make applica-
tion for aid on more than one road,
SO that if it is subsequently found
to be desirable the County can make
a later choice of the road to be i'm.
proved first.
Il should be borne in mind that
the fling of the application does not
necessarily bind the County to go
on with the work. and there is no
expense attached until after the sur
vey has been made. The successive
steps of surveying, advertising for
bids, and executing q contract for
the purpoSed work are ali discre-
tionary with the County Boards.
1t will be readily seen that the more
time which is available for making
surveys, plans and estimates as well
as for advertising and securing ad-
vautageous bids, the more effective
ly and economically can the work
be done. 1t is hoped therefore that
our citizens will show their pro-
gressiveness and their interest in
good roads by filling their applica-
tons at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
While the highway improvement
during the year just closing has
been eminently successful and salts
factory. all things considered, still
( better aud more satisfactory results
/ might have been secured had actual
construction begun at an earlier
date in 1905 than it did. IL is de-
sirable that q much larger amount
of improvement be pushed to CON-
pletion during 1906, and to this end
J applications for State Aid should be
: filed in season for all arrangements
! to be completed during the winter
for beginning actual construction by
May 1st, at the latest. Full instruc-
tions and application blanks were
enclosed with Engineer Crosby

The entertainment which came of
recently at the residence of Mr..
Thomas Bronze for the benefit of the
Episcopal church, st. Mary's City,
was a success in every particular.
A number of ladies were present,
some of whom sang choice selections.
Miss Juliette Miles has a voice of
great range and OF remarkable depth
and purity. She sings without eff
fort-as the oriole sings.
Schools are tolerably well attend

know that the brightest pupils can
not learn everything in a moment.
Patience is necessary with the ILL

heavier ones-greets Us.
