New York Continent.
Mr. Chancey M. Depew, President
of the New York Central Railroad, is
notone of those railroad men who be
lieve in the reckless speeding of railroad
trains which seems to have taken pos
session of a very large percentage of the
higher officials of American railroads.
Mr._Depew, however, has had a wide
experience in being a passenger upon
trait.s when some of the fastest time
ever made in this country was recorded.
“In 1885, the year that Mr. W. H.
Vandeibiit died, 1 was with him on a
special train, which consisted of one or
the fastest engines we have, one bag
gage car and Mr. Vanderbilt’s private
car, when we made the run from Buf
falo to Rochester at the rate of
itv miles per hour. This, I
think, was the fastest time ever made
Ijy a train upon which I was a passen
ger.
In 1888 I was a passenger on one of
our regular trains from Chicago to New
York, which was scheduled at about the
trate of forty miles per hour. 1 had an
engagement to deliver an address on
the night in question at Rochester
The train was due there at 7 o’clock in
the evening. 1 also had an appoint
ment on t he following morning at 9:30
in this city at my office which was of
more than ordinary importance and bad
to be kept.
“The train from which I had alighted
at Rochester at 7 in the evening was
due in New York the following morn
ing at 7:30.
“From the time I arrived at Roches
ter until 1 had concluded my address
two hours had elapsed. I had ordered
special engine and two cars to be in
readiness at the station to move on my
arrival from the Opera House, where I
delivered the address. In order to have
a train ride smoothly, especially if run
ning fast, it is best to have more than
one car in the train.
“1 was no sooner on the train than
the engineer gave the engine all the
steam it would take, and we pulled out
of Rochester at a very high rate of
speed. From Rochester to Albany it is
228)^ miles.

trains is fast enough. To go beyond
that is too dangerous. The public does
not realize the excessive danger there is
incident to fast running, yet the ten
dency of the times is toward more rapid
transit.
“What we call our limited trains are
limited as to the number of cars they
carry.
“With the number of cars that are
carried on them, the power of the en
gines are taxed to their fullest capacity.
The only way to increase the rapidity
iu transit between points will be to de
crease the size of our trains. This
would necessitate an additional number
of trains; yet the population in this
country is not sufficiently dense to jus
tify the increase that would be required
were we to reduce the number of cars
in our through express or limited trains.
TO CHICAGO IN TWENTY HOURS.
If we can reduce the weight of our
sleeping cars and at the same time re
tain the required strength which will
reduce the tonnage of the trains, then
we can make faster time. If this can
be done we ought to be able to reduce
the time between here add Cbibago to
twenty hours, which now takes twenty-
six. With our vestibuled trains the
possibility of fatal collisions have been
materially removed
“A vestibuled train cannot be tele
scoped, and the telescoping of cars is
where the greatest danger lies in case
there is a collision.”

Berlin, Feb. 18.—The names of two
graces intimately related to the royal
house are today mentioned in a stage
whisper and with a mysterious shrug of
the shoulders in the highest circles of
official and court life, for only those
privileged classes are suffered to discuss
the latest scandal in Berlin high life.
One of the names mentioned is that of
Prince Frederick Charles, who is dead,
and the other that of the . hereditary
Prince of Saxe-Altenburg. The scan
dal arose through disclosures made du
ring a secret investigation of alleged
fraudulent sales of titles ar.d certificates
of court purveyors, in which a number
of small south German potentates and
the two above named princes were con
cerned. -
It appears that the Red Prince car
ried on a regular business in selling the
use of his name to tradespeople, and
even placed at the disposal of his regu
lar agents a dozen or more of signed
blank diplomas in consideration of a
lump sum whenever he ran short of cash
a situation of not infrequent occurrence.
As a result of this arrangement the
streets of Berlin and other German
cirias are fairly strewn with signs of
purveyor to his Lite royal highness,
L’rince Frederick Charles, and no self-
respecting citizen thinks of buying the
homely Frankfurter sausage from a
pork butcher who cannot display the
crest of the conqueror of Metz over his
shod window.
Death has rempved Prince Frederick
Charles from the stigma of contempt of
the public and the frowns of the head of
the riohenzollern dynasty, but the pun
ishment falls all the heavier on the liv
ing offender, the prince of Saxe-Alten
burg.
As a mark of displeasure the prince
was recently made subordinate by the
kaiser to his brother-in-law, the heredi
tary prince of Saxe-Meiningen, who re-
ci ived the rank of lieutenant general,
though ten years his junior in the ser
vice. While thi- traffic was scandalous
enough to drive any well-regulated
court tulo mourning, ‘certain other of
fences have been charged against the
prince of Saxe-Altenburg, who, by the
way, was the Red Prince’s son-in-law—
offenses even of a criminal character.
They fovor strongly of those exposed
by the Pall Mall Gazette some years
ago, and the woman who served as go-
between in the negotiations between
the prince' and his victims in now in
jail. Up till a few days ago she
could be seen daily in the frequented
thoroughfares of.this city, where she
was well known, on the look out fi r
prey. She would probably not have
beeu disturbed in her mafpractices if
the prince had not commuted the in
discretion of keeping her informed of
the kaiser’s sentiment in regard to the
pending investigation. The prince’s
servant was in the habit of calling upon
her tw o or tLree limes a day with mis
sives, which she in turn intrusted to
her subordinate procuresses. The ser
vant was stopp' d and found to be the
bearer of messages which led to disclos
ures of an infamous character.
It is true that the prince was present
at Wedensday’s grand ball at the castie,
but that was only a blind. He was cut
dead by all the members of the royal
family, aud especially by the emperor,
who made no secret of his feelings. The
climax in this ease was probably reach-
eu yesterday, when the prince left the
city in disgrace on unlimited leave of
absence.
the royal flay house.
Last week an insight was given into
the methods by whieh the kaiser means
to infuse new life into his royal play
house aud stage folk. Since, the first
performance of Wildeubruk’s drama
‘‘The New Lord,” whieh was rehearsed
under the kaiser’s personal supervision,
has taken place, and while the literary
success of the play is a matter of con
jecture, the triumph .rom an artist’s

SHOCKED BY THE CHURCH.
Berlin so> iety is scandalized at tbe
action of tbe church in prohibiting the
authorities of the Dorotliean Stadt Cem
etery from allowing the family of Judge
Ernest Cawtian to place the urn con
taining tbe ashes of their relative in the
family vault, which has been existing
there for over 100 years. The decision
of the church council may not be ap
pealed against, as the letter of the law
is on its side. Even the intervention o.
Minister von Gosslar, who is a member
of the council, had no eflect on tbe par
sons except making thorn more obsti
nate in their illiberal course. The
Cawtians are among Berlin’s bert-
known aud besl-liked patricians, and
