DR.. Brent Arrives, Bringing Filipino
Boy to Be Educated

NEW YORK, September 23.-The Right
Rev. Charles Fl. Brent, Protestant Epis-

was accompanied by the Rev. Thatcher
r. kimban and Filipino boy. The UNI

Bishop Brent was to have preached yes
terday morning to the cadets at West
Point, and. finding that the Umbria would
be late, the Episcopal Church mission
teleSraphed to Washington asking for

orders went astray, and the bishop had to
remain on the boat until she reached her
dock at o'clock yesterday morning
There is no train Sunday morning that
reaches West Point in time for service,
and the bishop went to Albany, where he
will be the guest of Dean Talbot of All
Saints.

educated He Is twelve years old and
comes from Bontoc, which is in the noun
tains about 300 miles from Manila. He

ST0LYP|N A HARD WORKER
RUSSIAN PREMIER COMPARED
TO ROOSEVELT.
Works Steadily, Rising at 8 and Co.
ing to Bed at A.M.-Com-
plexion of Duma.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. September 23-Rus-
slams are beginning to realize that their
prime minister, NJ. Stolypin is qualified to
rank with the kaiser and President Roose-
welt as marvel Of physical energy, and
they think that he carries a heavier load
than either of them. 1t is notable that all
are about the same age. Peter Arcadwtch
Stolypin is forty-seven and has a sound con-
stitution in a strong frame. The following
details of his daily life in the official resi-
dence at Elanguine Palace, at the mouth of
the Neva, show what a man can go through
unasssted.
He rises at o'clock in the morning, and,
after glass of coffee, begins to receive the
chiefs of departments and provincial gov
ernors. This lasts until 1 O'clock when he
lunches, which never occupies more than
quarter of an hour. He devotes the entire
afternoon to receiving members of the
council of the empire, going over reports
from the minister of the interior till z
o'clock, when he dimes, allowing himself
only forty minutes. Then he takes his daily
constitutional walk of half an hour in the
private grounds of the Elaguine Palace but
before 9 at night he is at his writing desk
in his private cabinet examining reports
and revising documents.
Does His Own Writing.
He never employs a secretary and draws
all resolutions and memoranda in his own
writing. His penmanship is very swift and
illegible. He remains at his desk until )
or in the morning. He never gives him
self more than five hours sleep, and yet,
except with his imperial master, 1t cannot
be said that NJ. Stolypin is improving his
position.
The electoral campaign of the third duma
has already taken opposition COM
plexion. The ultra-royalsts are as hostile
to the prime minister are the social
revolutionaries. 1t is evident that there
will be again a strongly radical agrarian
element in the house. Land owners. great
and small. will have n dominant voice, and
the small land owners, who are mostly
village priests are seldom reactionary.
Many holders of big estates, such as in the
province of Tver are developing liberalism
at any rate to the extent of hostility to the
existing administrative system.
The constitutional democrats Cadets are
expected to win again in ST. Petersburg
and Moscow. The election of Gen. Subbo-
itch as an independent liberal for the capt.
tai is practically assured. He was for
merly governor Of Russias central Asian
province and was dismissed for applying
seriously the cars manifesto of October,
1906
Another progressive candidate is Count
Alexis Tolstoi, former minister of educa-
ton, nephew Of the great writsx,

TO ADD TO SAFETY
Innovations Recently Intro
duCed on Railroads.
INSTALL TRAIN AUDITOR"
Baltimore and Ohio Road Introduces
New Train Official.
ONLY COLLECTS THE TICKETS
Conductor, Relieved of This Duty,
Can Now Run the Train and
Watch Signals.

The interstate commerce commission is
responsible for many improvements in rail-
reading. Constant publishing of statistics
has brought home to railroads the awful
price paid for wrecks.
Thus the train auditor now finds place
on the Baltimore and Ohio and other east
ern roads. Generally the train auditor is
assigned to local trains upon which the
conductor has many duties to perform that
so engross his mind as to encourage acct
dents. The train auditor collects tickets
and otherwise keeps the books of the train.
the conductor, being relieved of this irk-
some task. devOtes his entire mind to the
signaling, movement of the train, noting
block signals and remembering all train
orders received. The position of train
auditor was created through the repeated
failure of conductors to remember orders,
signals or to keep check on the engineer.
The duties of conductor on the modern
local train are many, and with well-flled
train he can do little else for miles out o. a
large city but collect tickets and answer
questions thus throwing the entire burden
of the trains safety upon the engineman
IN TACT. conductors, owing to their heavy
duties, had become SO accustomed to talk
ing the engineman's word for signals and
orders as to disreguard entirely their own
functions as real captain of the train In
order to remedy this and to place the run
nlng of the train entirely under the con-
ductor the train auditor" sprang into ex-
lstence, and conductors We're relieved of
the collection of tickets and other work of
that character.
Although this reform has worked as
great improvement over the previous
method, 1t is only the beginning of a
greater reform in railroad operating While
the conductor has been an Official much
burdened with duties, his task was always
light compared with the agent and op-
orator at the stations along the road
The character of Pooh Bah has a proto-
type In the average agent. This indi-
vldual Is the sheet anchor of the railroad
his hours are from early morning until
darkness generally, and the solitude of
his station is in inverse ratio to the ex-
citing nature of his thousand duties.
With ninety trains day to block keep
from wrecking each other. handling
train orders, chewing the rag with irri-
table dispa tchers, exercising his muscles
pulling signal levers, noting the numbers
OF passing engines and seeing that flags
are properly carried, a fraction of his
daily work Is outlined. He must sell
tickets whose prices he must know in
stantly, or lose a part of his stipend
through error. The questions of old
maids. rural numskulls and irate pas
sengers he must answer in Chesterfieldan
polteness.
