Brought the Imposition Edition of
the Chicago Herald-liroke All Pro
vloust Ilecords.
The triurnihant culmination of one
of the finest t-trukes of cnttrprino ever
undertaken ly an American newspaper
was witnesHod at tho union depot at
fi:3Q o'clock last evening, when the
Chicago Herald's fast special, just
fiixteen hours and fifty-seven minutes
out of Chicago, pulled under the shed.
The moment the dazzling headlight
of engine 240, Western and Atlantic
road, hove in sight the multitude of
representative citizens, city officials,
newsboys and every class of people
that bad gathered inside the depot,
. sent np a terrific shout, and the Fifth
" Regiment band struck the inspiring
strains of "Dixie."
WELCOME THE HERALD MEN.
The exposition directors and the
leading citizens quickly boarded the
car and went into the dining car,
where they met and congratulated Mr.
Robert Ansley, the business manager
of the Herald, and Mr. John J. Flinn,
of the editorial staff of the Herald,
the able special writer of the Herald,
, who prepared the article about Atlanta
and the exposition, which made up the
Southern edition of the Herald.
MR. HARMAN HAPPI.
Mr. Charley Harman, the live gen
eral passenger agent of the Western
and Atlantic, who personally conduct
ed the special from Chattanooga, was
on hand all aglow with smiles, shaking
hands with everybody.
"One hundred and thirty-eight miles
in one hundred and sixty-five minutes,
with two stops," was all he had to say
to the enthusiastic greetings that he
received from every side.
After the general reception in tho
parlor car was over, the Chicago party
was taken in hand by the exposition
directors and escorted to the Aragon
hotel.
A RAILROAD SENSATION.
The marvelously quick run from
Chicago to Atlanta was the sensation
of the hour in railroad circles. No
such time had ever been made before.
During the World's Fair the announce
ments made in the advertisements that
the vestibuled fair specials would cover
the distance in twenty-four hours was
greeted with incredulity. Nobody
believed it, and as a matter of fact, it
was a rare occurrence that the dis
tance was covered . in shorter time
than twenty-seven hours.
To make the run in sixteen hours
was a feat unparalleled in tho railroad
world. It was at the very least eight "
hours shorter than any known time
between the two cities. It marked a
new era in fast traveling, and it was
meet that the rapid run should be
made between Chicago and Atlanta,
the two most enterprising and pro
gressive cities in the country.
mi I. . . .
mere were iuacy rauroaa men who am nos
believe that the run could be made In any
thing like the tlms proposed. They predicted
that the train would Ret into Atlanta about
midnight, but tliey were beautitully disap
pointed. It Is a fact deserving of special men
tion that the run made over tha Western and
Atlantic Road, one of Atlanta's lines, wa
made in as quick time as was made on any
other line between Chicago and Atlanta. Mr.
Harman made it a point to cover the distance
In lUh tiling fashion, and if the train had
reached Chattanooga on schedule time, it
would have been put into the depot in this
city without tho loss of a single moment. Ho
had orderad the riijht of way cleared for the
special, and it came through without a hitch.
The train was scheduled for Chattanooga
at 3:05, and on the main line, awaiting the
coming of the train, was engine 240, one of the
smartest locomotives in the Houth. It is an
engine that Charley Harrett has covered a
mile in less than fifty-eight seconds with, and
is one of the most graceful movers in the
world. On it was Billy Harris, an emrineer
who knows every rrosstie between Atlanta
and flhflt.tjinnntTn on .Tirrirwnr nrkn rnf
every wrinkle out of a mover, an engineer
who can ride his box like Snapper oncts rode
the horses always to win. He was sitting
there waitini for Bob Stallings, that conduc
tor who is known all OTer the Houth, to wave
him out, while Mr. Stallings, with watch in
hand, was watching for the coming train to
turn tho curve a half mile away. Hon. Charles
Harman, the general passenger agent of the
.-oad, was beside the track fusing because
the train was late, and a dozen yardmen were
present to do the work allotted to them. Jui-t
five minutes after 4 o'clock the train roiled
in. A second later the engine was uncoupled
and No. 240 was swung in line. In two min
utes every axle had been greased, every wheel
had heen sounded and tho train was moving.
Mr. Flinn and Mr. Anslnv rind aliakpn linn ,1a
with a number of gentlemen and had. been
told a dozen times or moro that the feat was
one of the most remarkable they had ever
heard of.
"Is there anything In our way?" asked Mr.
Ansley, glancing from the face of his watch
into the face of Mr. Hnrman.
"Not a thing." replied Mr. Harman. "This
.rain has the right of way overevervthlng."
"And what's 1 he distance?" asked lUr. Flinn,
g'.uncing at the time table.
"One hundred and thirty-eight miles," was
the answer.
i "How long will it take us?" asked Mr. Ana
ley. ''Less than three hours," wai the answer.
"We will make two stops only, and we will
put you in Atlanta in less than three hours."
Threa minutes before 7 o'clock the train
came into Atlanta, having covered the dis
tance in two hours and fifty minutes, includ
ing the two stops of about four minutes each
and the slow-up at Howells and the slow pace,
within the city.
It was a run of 138 ml'es in 170 minutos, in
cluding two stop, and ai the best running
the train did from the tirns it left Chicago
until it reached Atlanta.
The entire time, includingthe stops, changes
and so forth, w sixteen hours and twenty
seven minutes, as figured by Mr. Stone and
Mr, Harman.

Keeping Trees Awake Nights.
"Electrio lights are playing sad hav
oo with shade trees in towns and vil
lages," says a philosopher. "The effect
is to make the leaves armear as thouch
' tney had been subject to a blighting
! breath. Arboriculturists say that the
light keeps the trees awake, and con
sequently they are tired to death.
Trees need sleep and rest as well as
any other things in nature, and the
lack of this rest causes the leaves to
droop. This solution is probably cor
rect, as it has been noted that similar
trees in the neighborhood of those
affected, but removed from the expos
ure of the illumination, retain their
strength and color." This should be
looked into. If a remedy is not pro
vided for before another spring, the
trees near electrio lights will probably
leave.

The Rise of the

n
Autograph Fiends Fifty Years Ago-
It ia related of Mendelssohn, at a
publio dinner, at which ladies were
present, and where he was surrounded
by a chorus of aggressive women
clamoring for his autograph, that he
allowed himself to be victimized with
good nature until finally a fleshy mat
ron of mature years handed him her
card. Whether with malice prepense
or not, it is not stated, but the compo
ser wrote upon the card the musio and
words from Haydn's "Creation:"
"And Qod created great whales."
This personal pleasantry brought the
autograph-hunting to an end, and
Mendelssohn was allowed to go on
with his dinner. Ex,

Very Like a Bottomless Pit.
A wonderful natural cavern was dis
covered in Lafayette county, Ga., in
1891. It has the usual complement of
"rooms," "galleries," "domes" and
"pita," but its sole title to being
something out of the ordinary in the
cavern line ia a well-like abyss in one
of the rooms, which, as far as any one
knows, may once have served aa "the
chimney of hades." It is known lo
cally as "the bottomless pit." Stones
of large size have been thrown into it
with a hope that it would be heard to
strike the bottom after a while, but,
acoording to reports, there were no
reverberating sounds borne back to
the ear by which its enormous depth
could be guaged. St. Louis Republic.
