A BeooaPs Rehpke,

Perhaps the ablest rebuke ever ad-
dressed to miser was that Of a beg
gar who derisively offered Lord Brace,
an ancestor Of the present British
Duke Of Fife, little silver coin just
to get sight Of his lortiship's hoard
ed gold and silver. Now, Lord Brace
was Of true miser breed. and the mere
sight Of the silver tempted him to
epen his chests. whereupon the beg.
gar remarked quietly:

lord. 1 can see your gold, and even

REPEATERS ARE FEARED.
Voting Heavy at New York City-Few
Arrests Made.

New York, Nov. 3.-Heavy voting be-
gan promptly at 6 o'clock, lines of vot-
ers standing in front of each polling
place before the opening hour and the
rush grew steadily. The bowery was
awake before daylight and cast the
heaviest vote in history. Rumors afioat
that plots are on foot to bring bands
of repeaters from New Jersey and
Philadelphia together with perfect
weather are responsible for the early
rush. But few quiet arrests were
made. A large force of special depu-
ties is watching for imported bands of
repeaters and arrests will follow at
tempts to vote them.

Columbus, O., Nov. 3.-The early

WASHINGTON. March s.-An-
has been made Of the for
NAL decision Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission as to the applica-
ton made by railroads for an extern

orders OF extension would interfere
with the policy OF railroad legislation
and would amount TO an amendment
Of the law by an official body charged
with the administration Of the law
only. IL was held further that 10 grant
extension on account of financial dis

Of financial distress which would JUS

STRANG'S CAR

Over B. & 0. Railroad
on Saturday

An interesting trial run OF o new
type OF -ail-motor known as the Strang
gas-electric car was made on Saturday
afternoon over tho tracks OF the Bitlti-
more and Ohio Railroad from Phila-
celphia to Wilmington and return The
round trip was made Il a little over
two hours. aud a specd OF 55 miles an
hour was maintained when the was

has been recently completed by the ].
c. Brill Company and is regarded as
combining the most Independent motor
features vet devised IN this country.
The frame Of the car is entirely Of
steel, and &, is divided into three COM
partments, being designed 70 carry 70
passengers. In the first compartment
is the gas-electric engine of six cylind-
ers, with direct electrical connection
between the generator and truck motors
and a storage battery. The operation
of the Ncar Is practically the same as Of

current. and is. therefore. independent
Of wire and power house. II consumes
at average speed onc-half gallon OF
gasoline per mile, amounting to six
cents per mile for fuel expense. Among
other features are an automatic-stop
system and a freedom from vibration

with remarkable steadiness.
Another important fact Is that the
car can be easily controlled and oper-
ated by a single motorman. This makes

PENNSY GAINS
IN TRACKAGE
System Has increased 1927
Miles in This Particular
in Five Years

An idea Of the vastness Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad system-and its Inn
portance to the country it traverses-
is to be obtained from figures in the
annual Record Of transportation
Lines" just compiled by the mainten-
ance Of way departments OF the sys-
tenn. These figures show total mile
age Of 11.OS0.6O Of which 6,154.6S are
located East Of Pittsburg and Erie,
and 4.925.97 West of Pittsburg.
The lines penetrate thirteen states
and the District of Columbia, the
greatest mileage being in Pennsylvania,
where the system has 4,O67 as miles Of
line. Ohio is second with 1.S31.13 miles
and Indiana is third with 1,541.S2 miles.
There are S23O6 miles Of line in New
York and 771.93 miles in New Jersey.
Illinois has 635.24 miles, Maryland
5527O, Michigan 435.36. and Delaware
2F405 miles. In the District of Colum-
bia and each Of the states Of Kentucky,
Missouri, Virginia and West Virginia
termini of different portions of the
systematic mileage is less than 100,
The total trackage OF the system
amounts to 23572 miles, Of which
1878 are East Of Pittsburg. and
9,7S410 are west Of that point. The
intensive development Of the system. to
meet the requirements Of commerce.
in recent years is to be seen in the
fact that while the mileage has in
creased only 51S.15 since December 81
1908. the total trackage has increased
3,027 miles. The system at the pres
ent time has 3,241.9O miles Of second
