ENJOYS IN NEW YORK.
Thousands Cheer Russians as They
Reach METROPOLIS


A dispatch from New York last night
says: Thousands of persons greeted the
Russian peace ENJOYS when they arrived
at the Grand Central station this afternoon
at 5:35 o'clock on a special train from Bos-
ton. There was a great demonstration
when they left the train and hurried to the
st. Regis Hotel, where they will remain
while in this city.
NJ. White. accompanied by Baron de
Rosen, walked from the train to the wait
ing carriages, and 1t was only through
great efforts on the part of the police and
secret service men that a passageway was
cleared. Both ENJOYS smiled and doffed
their hats continually at the cheers of the
crowds.
M. White and Baron de Rosen were read
lily recognized, and men and women pushed
their way toward them. The crowd be-
came 80 great that the party was brought
to a standstill, and every one wanted to
shake hands with the two men, Both

Money for Mission Board.

A dispatch from Boston last night says:
The American board of commissioners for
foreign missions has completed its accounts
for its business year. The annual meeting
will be held at Seattle, Wash, September
14-1S The total receipts for the year
amount to $812. 149. In view Of the falling
of in legacies during recent years it is
notable that there has been a gain of about
10000 from that source during 1904-19o5
The expenditures of the board have been
considerably above those of former years,
SO that the account closes with a deficit Of
$1S8, 5T. 1t Is expected that this will be
somewhat reduced by payments from the
auxiliary societies within few weeks
While the controversy over the accept
ance of the gift from John D. Rockefeller
has probably affected the receipts OF the
board in some measure" says the report,
"the interest of the pastors and church
members in the work Of the board is said
to be on the increase and the officers look
forward to the next year with confidence"

Prison Was His School.

A dispatch from Jackson, Mich, last
night says: Il came here an ignorant

out OF the Michigan state prison here to-
day on parole after spending twenty-eight
years behind the bars for murder.

Hardy, who is now fifty years old, has
practically had charge of the prison en-

have stepped into $2,OO0-a-year position

had received a pardon instead of a parole,
which necessitates his remaining within

Blaine and His Hostess, Gale

About twenty-seven years ago the
late James G. Blaine was invited to
dine in a certain city in eastern Maine
where he happened to be on business
His host had recently married a sec
ond wife, more noted for beauty and
wealth than for intelligence. 1t was
near the middle of March, and a storm
was coming on, which, the husband re-
marked, would probably be the equi-
noctial gale.
What do you mean by that? Is it
the same as the line gale?" she asked
The husband replied in the affirma-
tive, and in reply to further questions
told her it was usual to expect a
storm twice a year, when the sun
crossed the equinox.
THAT day at dinner" said Mr.
Blaine, 81 remarked upon the severity
of the storm and my hostess, with an
engaging smile, replied: Yes, Mr.
Blaine, isn't it singular that we al
ways have such a fearful storm when
ever the sun crosses the Penobscot? p
Before 1 could frame a reply my host
in a tone of mild surprise exclaimed:
You don't mean the Penobscot, dear,

HIGH SPEED ON RAILWAYS.

Hundred Miles an Hour Must Be Made
on Separate Tracks.
A study of the net results of the
German experiments on the Berlin
Zossen railway with trains electrically
propelled at high velocity appears to
have led thoughtful railway men te
the conclusion that any attempts to
force train acceleration on steam rail-
roads would be destructive of rollins
stock and permanent way and Incl
dentally of passengers and train crews
As pointed out in the paper of DR..
Frederick Schultz before the Interna-
tional Railway Congress, the best type
of modern railway equipment can be
operated safely at speeds of more than
100 miles an hour, provided a clear
way can be assured.
This is exactly the difficulty which
it would not seem possible to over
come in a railroad operated for a
mixed traffic. At a speed of 100 miles
an hour, unless the weather is quite
clear track signals cannot be distin-
guished clearly enough to be read
with certainty. This means that a
railroad devoted to very high speeds
would need to be divided into long
blocks, and before a train entered
upon block its conductor must know
that the road is clear.
Such blocks would need to be ap-
proximately a hundred miles long
which means the surrender of every
other kind of traffic which now keeps
out of the way of fast trains by TAX
ing sidings or otherwise temporarily
Withdrawing itself from the track
which belongs to the flyer" AS a
matter of fact this would mean separ-
ate tracks for high-speed trains, over
or under the other tracks, with abso-
lutely no grade crossings and no
points or switches by which slower
moving trains could have access to
such tracks. Anything like a coinci-
dent movement of freight and passen-
ger traffic would be impossible.-New
York Times.

Admiral Helen Gould.

Miss Helen Gould was saluted with
the two ruffles of an admiral as she
boarded the battleship Alabama at the
Brooklyn navy yard, says the New
York World. A "ruffle' is a roll of
the drum with the bugles. The presi-
dent of the United States receives
three ruffles. 1t was the pretty COM
pliment of the 700 jackies to the wo-
man who has done so much for them.
Miss Gould had been invited to in
spect the ship, which Lieutenant-Com-
mander Schumacher told her was 1.-The
finest" With her were Miss Edith
Hay, Kingdom Gould, her nephew, and
Chester Harrison, her cousin. She
was received on the quarterback and
every one of the jackies received a
nod of greeting from her as the line
filed past in review. Rear-Admiral
Coghlan led the way in the inspection
of the battleship.
The only thing that went wrong
was the dog, the mascot. The Rev
John F. Carson in a brief talk mad
vertently spoke of the president as
Teddy" At this the dog set up a
howl. The dog was banished from its
place of honor and it was explained
that it meant no harm, but was only
saluting its own name.
