From the New York World. “What is the least sum a fellow can live comfortably on per day?” This was recently the subject of debate by four young bachelors. They are all clerks with salaries averaging trom $10 to $15 a week. One of them, who has a position in a famous drug house, suggested that a quar- ter of a dollar would be sufficient. Another maintained that a man would starve on less than half a dollar. Finally the practical man in the pafty proposed that they club together and mako the experiment. “Done,” said the others. Then came the question of the select of a cook. ‘The choice fell on a yor ered man named “Billy.” ‘This son of south y and kn some “wrink 1 regard to the culi art. So the - ion Which began as joke was crystallized into practical experi- ment. After due consideratton It w: form themselves into the “Flye Jolly elors Down-cn-Your-Luck Club.” ‘They meluded it would not do to spend more than 1 cents per day each for meais. This would be the munificent sum of 81 cents per week each. They fixed the Initiatlon fee at 25 cents each. This netted $1.25, which they v to use for an oil stove and ions began. started in September last,” said mber of tho club, “and after th: experiment ceased to be a joke w right en until we have practically strated that it is possible for five peop! to live on 12 cents a day each and have health and happiness. “The only medicine we have taken, al- though right in the line, fs a daily dose of jokes and laughter over our ‘bill of fare.’ We have an ‘elegant sufficiency,’ though not all the delicacles of the season. Our broalk: fast and supper consist of coffee and r and all that goes with them.” ‘The follo’ ing 1s the dinner bill of fare for the week Monday—Cofiee and bread, liver and bacon. ‘Tuesday—Chops, French fried - potatoes, bread and coffee. Wednesday—Steak and potatoes, and bread. Thursday—Ham and eggs, bread and cof- fee (no potatoes). Fridsy—Fish, potatoes, coffee and bread. Saturday—Lamb chops, potatoes, bread and coff Sunday—Roast beef, mashed potatoes,cof- fee and bread. “This includes sugar, milk and butter, What we have is of the best quality®and plenty of it. We consider that we fare better than we would in a $6 a week board- ing house.” THE SPEED OF TRAINS. a decided to coffee How It May Be Affected by the Rota- tion of the Earth. Froin the Rallway Gazette. ; In 1891 the New York Central and Hud- son River railroad ran a train 43613 miles in 425 minutes and 42 seconds, or an aver- age of 6112 miles per hour. The weight of this train was 460,000 pounds. The same company on September 11, this year, made the remarkable run of the same 43614 miles in 4072-3 minutes; this was an average of 6 miles per hour. ‘The New York Central, in starting both times from New York city, unnecessarily retarded its own speed. From Albany to Buffalo, due west, the train encountered not only the prevailing west wind, but the force of the e&rth’s revolution eastward. Owing to the diurnal rotation of the earth, bodies at the equator press toward the earth with 288-289 of the pressure they would were the earth deprived of its rota- tion. If, therefore, the rotation of the earth could be accelerated until It took only 1-17 of the present sidereal day to make a complete turn or revolution, the centrifugal tendency would be increased (17)2 fold; that Is, It would be 289 times as great as now, and bodies at the equator would have no pressure downward, or, as we say, would welgh nothing. This rate of revolution would not be sufficient to deprive bodies anywhere else of their entire weight. Now let us apply this to railroad trains. A train running east, at the equator, would bo lightened as compared with the weight ona stillearth. . . . If running due west, the result would be less. And the differ- ence of weight between the same train, running east and west with the same ve- locity, would be a certain fraction of its total ‘absolute pressure. Example: Taking a train running, say, 70 feet per second, or nearly 48 miles per hour, this fraction would not be far from 1-1600 part; if running 60 miles per hour, {t would be 1-1290 part, and if running 100 miles per hour, or 147 feet per second, it would be the 1 part, nearly; and it would be greater and greater as the speed is increased, and still greater as both speed and weight of the train are increased. The train of the New York Central was 837 feet long and weighed 565,000 pounds. va calculation, it will be observed, as said, will be true for the equator. The New York Central train ran from Albany to Buffalo upon about the 42d parallel of latitude, and - therefore, this calcu- lation should be corrected for this latitude, and would be about 7-10 as great.

Mixer Not Expected Un- der Any Circumstances to Be d Candidate. Those Mississ to subscribe to the Whitney boom, and are now protesting: with vigor against it, ar2 thought to be unduly exere!sed. They mis- conceive the whole matter. The Star has already explained the movement. In the first place, Mr. Whitney is not a candidate for the Chicago nomination, and has no thought of entering the contest. This is well understood by all of his eastern friends. His decision is regretted by them, but they have accepted it as final. Richard Croker, before sailing last Wednesday, ex- pressed great regret at the stand Mr. Whit- had felt himself obliged to take in the premises. Nobody Committed by It. In the second place, this southern move- ment does not comprehend committing sil- Ver men to Mr. Whitney as a gold candi- date. They are to remain silver men, with- out any abatement of their financial de- mands, and ho is to remain a gold maz without any abatement of his financial con- victions. But, the question fs asked, is there not a higher’than the financial ques- tion for both southern and northern demo- crats to consider at this time? A demo- cratic eplit on the financial question will mean af overwhelming republican victory in November, and that may mean the over- throwing of democratic local supremacy in all the southern statcs. Is the south ready for that’ Is she w.lling even to take the risk of such a thing? If not, as these Whitney boomers are contending, the only wise course for her to pursue is to subordinate the financial issue and bring forward again the issue of local white supremacy. She is hot to surrender the financial issue, but only postpone it until by a renewed union with her old allies of the north on the race issue acceptable compromise terms on the money question may be negotiated. Mi. Whitey was selected to head this movement because it was felt that a bet- ter hearing could be secured for it in his name than in that of any other democrat cf national reputation. He holds no office. He tugs at no factional entanglements. He has reputation as a pacificator. And Mis- sissipp! was selected for the inauguration ground for the movement because of her devotion to silver and the lengths she has always gone to make sure of local white supremacy. The argument was that if Mississippl could be induced to support William C. Whitney for President, or even offer to do so, an opportunity would open for the planning of a battle with the na- tlonal democracy united. Its Only Scope and Intent. This fs the full size of the southern Loom for Mr. Whitney for President. It ha3 this scope and Intent, and no other. The men in charge of it wil understand that Mr. Whitney cannot mike the race. They would be for him against all the field if he could, but are anxious as,matters stand to secure his influence for:patty unity and strength in the only way’in which he can exert it. A letter from him, it has been thought, covering the whole situation would be of very great value.! The present hope Is, too, that this letter may be written and see the light in the press.. The subject is interest- ing no less to oe side than to the other. Mr. Whitney as a mixer at conventions has had much success #5 an adjuster of grave difficulties. He is good looking, a good talker, a good +feilow. Success with the pen ought to be easily within his reach. The boomers, having finished their work in Mississippi, have gone into the adjoin- ing states. imncouraging results are re- ported from Louisiana.

A meeting of the National Bureau of Re- forms was held last evening in the New York Avenue Presbyterlan Church, which was attended by a large number of the frierds of the movement, and those in- terested in Its aims and purposes. Ad- dresses were made by Representative Ding- ley and Bishop Hurst. Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of the bureau, presided at the meeting and gave a brief outline of the purposes of the organization. He said the bureau would co- operate with all associations that stood for the defense of the Sabbath and purity, for the suppression of intemperance, gambling and political corruption, and for the sub- stitution of arbitration and concilfation for both Industrial and international war. Four bills have been introduced in Con- ress at the request of the bureau, and Mr. Crafts stated he had a reasonable expect tion that they would become laws. They are as follows. Raising the age of consent to e‘gnteen years In the District, which the District Commissioners, Mr. Crafts stated, had indorsed yesterday; the repeal of Okla- homa’s ninety-day divorce law by act of Congress; the passage of a Sabbath law for the national capital, and the suppression of gambling by telegraph, as gambling by mail and by express had already been suppressed. As the meeting was Intended to ba part of the general celebration of Washington's birthday, the addresses of the evening were upon patriotic themes. Bishop John F. Hurst spoke of Washington and his books, and gave some interesting tnformation about his library, a large part of which, he said, consisted of religious works. Repre- sentative Nelson Dingley spoke of the far- reaching example of the father of his coun- try, and the large part he had in making ours a Christian nation. He declared that the protection of the Sabbath was one of the defenses of the country. \ Letters from Secretary Hoke Smith, Bishop Keane and Gov. Matthews of Indiana were noe xpressing ‘{/mpathy with the objects uureau. A resoluti vor: bi= tration was adopted. epee — AN ARTISTIC BARBER. Society is The Finesse of the French Tonsorial Artist. From the Philadelphia Record. They do some things better in la belle Frdhce. In a tonsorial emporium near the state house yesterday, Gaspard, the French barber, was operating upon a fat broker. The latter, complying with the American custom, turned his face to the left as he reclined In the chair, presenting to Gaspard his right cheek for the caresses of the razor. Seeing this, Gaspard walked to the left side of the chair, bringing himself vis- a-vis with his subject. Broker turned his face to the right. Gaspard returned to the right side of the chair. Victim again turned his face to left. Gaspard, wildly excited, flourished his miniature blade in terrifying proximity to the customer’s physiognomical beauty. “Sacre, m’sieur!” cried the Frenchman; “pardonnez moi; but vill you not pleas keep steel while I you shalfe? I feex you wiz towaile—I r-r-ub you wiz lathaire—f pre- paire you to shaife! You not no wees to be shaife?” By this time the barber had secured a death grip on the broker's forelock, and the latter ceased to struggle. Gaspard proceeded to wield the razor in a calm and strictly professional Way, at the same time enlightening the broker as follows: . “Pardong, m’sleur, you nevaire not shaife by a French barbaire? Non? Ah-h-h! I vill explain. Ven I beegeen to shaife un gentilhomme I wiz to see his faise in front of me. Comprehendez? Your American barbaire, your Dutch Cherman barbaire, your niggaire barbaire—vat zey do? Zey stand at ze balck of your head. Zey, scraipe, scraipe, von, two minute.

Widow and Son of the Late Chief Justice Waite. By a singular coincidence the widow and the son ofethe late Chief Justice Waite died yesterday within twenty hours of each oth- er.

Waite, died at her residence in this city, 1416 Rhode Island avenue. She was not toid of her son’s Gemise earlier in the day. Mrs. Waite had been an invalid for the past six months, and her death was not un- expected. She was conscious to the last and the end was peaceful. At her bedside were Miss Mary F Waite, her daughter, and her daughter-in-law, the latter the widow of the oldest son of the late chief justice. Faneral Arrangemen The funeral will be held at her late resi- dence, 1616 Rhode Island avenue, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternccn. The service, which will be brief, will be conducted by Rev.

Dr. Walbridge, formerly rector of the church in| Toledo wi attended for many years, and Re Hilliker, also of the Church of the Maj. ght, marshal of the Sup Court, will Have charge of the arrange- ments, and it Is expected the justices of the court will act as honorary pali-bearers.

The. Attorney General Addressed by the Pacific Railroad Committee. The House Pacific railroad committee has adopted a resolution calling on the Attorney General for the following information: 1. Whether the president and directors of the Union and Central Pacific railroad companies are personally Mable for the value of the stock of said companies, un- lawfully issued, under their administration. 2. ‘Whether they are personally Hable for losses incurred by said companies, in con- struction contracts made with themselves or persons representing them, as reported by the Pacific railroad commission. 3. Whether such liability, if it exists, can be enforced by the United States, as a creditor of said corporations, and whether the findings of said raliroad commission are based upon evidence legally admissible against the parties in interest, and sufficient to sustain a decree against them. The purpose of the resolution fs to secure an expression from the Attorney General as to whether an action against the presi- dent and directors of the Unton Pacific and Central Pacific would lie for recovery, in erder to ascertain if Congress should con- clude to foreclose its mortgage, it could se- cure from the directors, or their estates, the difference between the amount realized on the mortgage and the amount due. SS A Sailor's Answer. From Marper’s Round Table. Just after the war of 1776 an American frigate visited England. Her crew of gal- lent tars had been principally recruited from the fisheries, and some of them, it is to be acknowledged, did not compare favor- ably in appearance with the spick-and- spen, jaunty Ehglish naval seamen, for the former were of all shapes and sizes, from the tell, round-shouldered, long-arm- ed Cape Codder, down to the short, wiry members of the ship's company who hailed from various ports further south, where less brawn was to be found. One day the -captain of the American ship paid a visit to the commander of a British man-o’ harbor. The cockswain of the gig w great, lanky seaman, whose backbone was so rounded as to form a veritable hump. While the boat rested at the gangway of the visited vessel the English sailors gath- ered in the open ports and “‘took stock,” in rather disdainful fashion, of the occu- pants of the gig. At last one of the sea- men on board ghe man-o'-war called down to the cockswain: “*Ello there, Yankee; I soy, what's that bloomin’ "ump you ‘ave on your back? The American sailor looked up and called back, quick as a shot: “That's Bunker HL” No. © President Second Viee President onSnTer Secretary Washington Loan & Trust Co., COR.
