(1 ol EDITOR'S NOTE: What was the world doing in the ple ant days when tofays adults were youths? Forty ycars ago “Red” Coolidge was a student at Amherst college. A chubby- faced office boy was making 5034 in Oregon. That was Hei- Tioover. Here is the Ame:- n scone in those interesting times re-crcated from the recordings of daily 5 in a scries of stor- By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE (A. P. Feature Writer) The public interest of a speed-jadec today in new airplane anc motor car reeords is mild com- parcd with the excitement thot at- tended the setting of a new mark for fast time by stcamships and trains 40 years ago. Widespread was the disappoint- ment in the spring of '89 when the City of Paris, youngest and mcst promising of the “ocean grey- hounds,” failed on its first trip across the Atlantic to lower the time of 6 days 1 hour and 55 min- utes set by the Etruria. The press devoted columns to the trip and the comparative speed of the fastest trains. An English train had attained the “frightful velocity” of 60 miles an hour, which brought the editorial prediction that a maximum in speed soon must be reached. Great figures of the Victorian cra were making their farewell ap- pearances on the stage of world affairs. The aging Bismarck, having com- pleted the forging in “blood and iron” of the German empire, was querreling with the imperious young kaiser, the present master of Doorn. Leo XITI was the reigning pontiff at Rome, and Gladstone and Par- noli were strong men in Britain. A St. Louis millionaire, who had sunk a fortune in the Chicago wheat pit, crcated a sensation by committing suicide, and Jay Gould said he was sorry he was so rich declaring a million dollars was enough for any man. Edwin Booth, appearing in Shakespearean repertoire, was stricken with paralysis on the stage of the Lyceum theatre at Roches- ter, N. Y. Forty cowboys had left ranches in Kansas to go to Minneapolis to take the place of striking street- car. employes, prairie fires had wrought heavy destruction in the territory of Dakota, and Washing- ton Irving Bishop, the celebrated mind reader, died unexpectelly while exhibiting his powers in the Lambs ¢lub at New York. His death ascribed to intense congestion of the brain. . Advertising writers were turning to spring poetry to command the gttention of the public. The fol- lowing gem appeared in several metropolitan papers: This problem can be casily solved for here you will find large dependable stocks of Clothing Hats Shoes Stockings Underwear ‘And what’s important is that everything of- fered is bright and new and attractively priced.
