istered in the Pendleton precincts up
until last evening, 494 were women
and 1904 We're men, the figures be-
ing from an unofficial count.
Also there has been a general be-
lief that many of the women were
registering as members of the pro-
hibition party but a consultation Of
the register disproves this statement
too. Most of the women have been
registering rs belonging to the same
political faith as their husbands or
fathers though here and there the
records show individual instances of
independence. OF the 149S voters,
sos are avowed republicans and 474
democrats. this proportion being about
the same as in the past. The re-
naming 216 are scattered among the
socialist. progressive, and prohibit
on parties save the few who put them
selves down as independent or re-
fused to state any political prefer
ence.
The registration books will be open
until October 19 but the number OF
voters appearing has fallen off to a
very few each day.

Unusual Features.
There are so many new and con-
venient things In the new terminal
that the list of them seems almost
endless. From the moment it Is
opened in January next it will be
one of the great show places of New
York and one of the things in the
city most worth seeing. One of its
unique conveniences will be a large
number of dressing rooms If a man
comes to the city for a brief stay. he
can hire one of these rooms, take a
bath, change his clothes, check his bag
and go his way. When he is ready
to depart he will not need to lose any
time in getting to his train. Also there
will be the finest restaurant in this
terminal that is TO be found in any
railroad station in the world. 1t will
be moderate in its charges, but Ia its
appointments and details it will equal
any of the most famous restaurants in
New York or the capitals of Europe.

amounted to 10000 or 10000 per an

gers while the old station was being
demolished-such things as temporary
train sheds, trestles built in the yards
for carrying trains over excavations
and things like that which would not
have been necessary in the creation of
terminal on ground not in constant
use.
A New and Marvellous Bumper.
The matter of bumpers at the ends
Of tracks would not seem worthy OF
much study, yet it is another of the
items that have received years of con-
sideration. The ordinary station bum
per Is simply two heavily braced up
rights that will stop a train going at
a moderate rate of speed Such bump
ers cost about 500 each to construct.
Those which are being put in at the
Grand Central terminal cost $4,000
each There are forty of them. They
are to insure train against going into
any of the columns or on to the con-
course. They have to be exceptional
ly strong so as to take care of the ex-
traordinarily heavy trains-ten to If
teen steel cars, each eighty-four feet
long.
Never before has there been a bump
er devised that will meet American
conditions. The biggest ones in the
-.orld are in station in Glasgow,
Scotland. They have a capacity of re-
sisting an impact of 500 tons moving at
a speed of ten miles an hour. In the
English trains the bumpers strike at
the two lower corners of the car. In
American trains the blow Is received
in the center of the car. Those being
insts lied in the Grand Central ter
tons moving at ten miles an hour and
will produce an absolute stop without
accident to the train or to the struc.
lures behind the bumper. Such a shock
| is very rare, but when the emergency
arises the bumper becomes very i'm
p0rtant. 1t took more than a wear te
design and build the first one. and thai
after eight years spent in studying and
experimenting. 1t IS only one of the
many things designed to prevent prob
lematic accidents which may never oc
cur. They are essential for the maxi
mum safety. but they add enormously
to the cost of big terminal
