Vision of 100 mph Trains Across the Century

H Walter Webb argues that rail travel will accelerate beyond 60 mph and reach 100 mph regularly early in the next century. He cites current runs at 50 mph, peak speeds near 75 mph, and a New York to Buffalo service at 53 mph. Key needs include elastic tracks, minimal grades, flawless signaling, light yet strong cars, and skilled staff to ensure safety and reliability.

Electricity and the future of transport in a electric age

Secretary Charles Foster envisions United States travel at speeds near one hundred miles per hour via electric railways within a century. He cites Chicago to St Louis as an example under development and predicts New York to Chicago in seven to eight hours by 3092. He notes Edison’s pursuit of pumps to extract electricity from terrestrial magnetism and anticipates dramatic advances in power and transport.

Vision of a larger White House and a streamlined presidency

Our Washington correspondent reports Elijah W. Halford predicting future White House expansion to add living quarters for the president and private secretary. He argues the residence and office should remain together, with simplified post appointments and fewer minor duties for the president. The article also notes the February 22 death of Christian Feutz, age seventeen, and honors his Christian virtue and family loss.
