and paintings, ard the altar elaborately

been expended upon it. The windows

es of the place; 50 was told.
| l have visited Duesburry, Horburry,
Bradford, Halifax, North Dean, Wyke,
Otley, Ieadon, Rawdon, Guisley, Kirk
stall, Newlay, and passed through a
dozen or more towns in passing from
one place to another. The scenery
throughout this pa.t of Yorkshire is
just splendid.
This being ahilly country, the rail
roads are obliged to make Il great many
tunnels from Il quarter of Il mile to three
miles long. There are so many of them
that the lamps are left burning all the
time on many of the trains In regard
to the comfort of the travelling public
there is 10 comparison with the man
agenent OF the American railroads. The
cars are built in compartments holding
about eight persons each, and graded in |
to three classes, first, second and third,
have got to he only a third class man |
since | came here. 1t costs too much to |
be n first class man in England, so | am
obi . cd to be contented with my situa-
ton. 1t is not the worth of the man
shat entitles him to position here, it is
his money. No matter how he rot it, so
he has plenty of cash it is easy to be-
come trst-class man in railroad trav-
cling. None Of the cUnveniencps of
Alncrlcan ears, no water coolers, closets
or heating of ears in winter, and in the
third cias", the one which | am obliged
to pa'rorihe, you mostly have the soft
side Of an oak board to sit upon; many
are without any protentions 70 the thing
called cushions, and len an effort is
made to give you cushions they are the
poorest imaginable apology. There is
no sccurity for life or female protection
in these English cars. A lady travel
ing alone and seeking to be alone, so as
not to be intruded upon or insulted,
takes Il compartment unoccupied. At /;
The next station some blackguard, see I
Ing the lady alone, enters the same com. t
partnent. As there is no regard to who
Gets in, the lady is at the mercy Of any
villain who happens to get into the same
COMPARTMENT with her. She has no pro-
5ectiou, which every American ladyI

While was urging my objections to
his English system one Englishman @
who wa, riding in the compartment !
with me said that on one occasion he
was travelling in a thinner popu,ated

vt greater distances apart than in York
shire. A man who was drunk got into
