RAILROADS VS.. AUTOMOBILES.

For the purpose of determining tbe
effect of auto travel upon the passen-
ger receipts of railroads, record was
kept of the number Of the arrivals by
ouch conyeyances at two fashionable
summer resorts during the month OF
August, which shows that 2,524 per-
sons arrived in that manner, in 629
cars, out of total number of arrivals
OF 4,1G7. But since it Is not probable
that all Of the 1884 motorists regis
tered would have gone to those par
ticular resorts had there been no mo-
tor cars for them to travel In, but as
saming that half of them would have
gone by rail had there been no other
means OF reaching them and that the
average fare would have been SIS "a
low estimate, according to the rail-
roads, since many Of the tourists in
question travelled long distaaces) the
loss to the railroads during this one
month on travel to these two points
alone, as shown by the registers of
the hotels, was at least $40, 900. In
the circumstances, the railroads de-
duce that on the average every auto
mobile in use occasions loss OF 81
week in passenger fares to them
selves and that since there are about
$4,000 automobiles in commission in
the entire country at the present time
the diminution of passenger receipts
due to that cause is more than $751;
100000 a year
To offset the loss OF passenger fares
in part, however, are the very large
freight revenues derived from the
transportation OF new motor cars, es-
timated to amount to $4,000, 900 a
year.

The offices at Wheeling have signed

Will do its uttermost in assisting the

The goal set comes under seven

The organization is the department
which is to receive the greatest atten-

counties and townships organized and
chartered, except in those parts where
the population is so sparse as to make
this impracticable. In this work West
Virginia has but three counties to or
ganize. when it will be up to STANDARD.
In membership, a gain OF 5000, 600

which will be but 1888 yearly. or one
each for every so Sunday schools now
organized. Fifty thousand new or

In teacher training it is expected
to enroll 100000. which will be one

Three million conversions in the Sun
day schools of North America are
expected.

At YEARS TO DELIVER LETTER
Old Soldier Had Written to Wife to

John Madden, OF Tonawanda, near
Hagerstown. who was a member of
the Third Pennsylvania Heavy Artil-
iery during the Civil War, has just re-
ceived a letter which he wrote to his
wife while stationed at Fortress Mon
roe AZ years ago. Where the letter
has been all these years 30 does lot

velope from that which it was sent
and it was postmarked Tonawanda.
Naddea's impression is that it was
received by some person for whom il
was not intended and has been either
held or mislaid during all these years.

wife to get him pair of pants.

A preliminary meeting was held by

REPUBLICANS IN PLENTY.
West Virginia Chairman Says His
Party Will Win Easily.

Chairman S. V. Matthews, ef the
Republican State Committee of West
Virginia, is in Washington telling his
political friends that the state is going
10 swing back into the Republican
column in the next election. There
will be meeting OF the state COM
mittee October 10, at which plan
for AN aggressive campaign will be
mapped out, and an effort made to
bring together whatever recalcitrapt
Republicans still remain without the
organization. Mr.. Matthews declares
that the Republicans are getting to-
gether rapidly, and that when they
lime up for the fight next year they
viii be ready to wage a winning cam
raign.
I'VE do not have to make any con-
verts in West Virginia" said Mr.. Mat
thevs, at the Willard. There are
enough Republicans in the state to
carry any election Last year they
didn't vote, and I'll have TO admit
there were factions within the party,
which, with the general disaffection
OF Republicans that swept the entire
country, accounted for the election OF
Democratic Congressional delega-
ton. Next time the Republicans will
come out, and have not the slightest
ooubt that we shall reclaim the state
There has been talk of insurgent
strength in the state, but, when ana
lived IL reminds one of the story of
the man who contracted to sell a car
load OF frogs. When it came to de-
livering them, he found that he could
find only half dozen. He thought from
the noise these few made that there
must be millions. It's the same way
with the insurgents. They are max
ing lot Of noise, but it doesn't mean
anything The President will have
no opposition in West Virginia.
"Who will be the Republican nomi-
zee fer Governor? Charley Swisher
S the only man who has announced
his candidacy, and, il he is chosen at
the primaries, think the Republ cans
will elect him. There may be other
candidates"
Speaking of Democratic preferences
Tor Presidential candidates, Mr. Mat
thews said that Senators Chiffon and
Watson dominate the party in the
safe, and that it is generally under
stood they are for Governor Harmon,
II doubt much, however, whether
the Senators can deliver the state for
Harmon said Mr. Matthews. There
IS considerable sentiment among the
Democratic voters for Governor VIII
son, and a rapidly growing sentiment
for Champ Clark. believe that il l
were a Democrat and wanted to bet
on the way West Virginia would vote
in the conven ton / lay my wager on
Clark. I think he is the most likely
to get the Democratic nomination.

THE NEED OF A NAVY.

Lack of navy will probably caust
the Turks to lose their Trpolitan EN-.
pjre. Turkey is stronger than Italy
upon land. Her standing army ard
her reserves ontnumber the Italians
probably four to one The army is
well equipped, and the Turks have a
well deserved reputation for fanatical
courage, but Turkey cannct send her
troops to Tripoli by land without
crossing foreign soil. Egypt bars the
way, and the Italian fleet would soon
dispose OF any Turkish transports
carrying soldiers to the African pro
vince
The Turkish predicame1t impresses
the necessity OF strong naval force
for a seafarilg nation. So long as the
United States, for instance, is to main
tain colonial possessions, she can only
hold them by the strength of her navy.
