The Baltimore and Ohio is still on
deck and more saucy than ever when it
comes to talking out in meeting for the
interests of the travelling public, as
against the exactions of some other and
would be rival lines. Its latest shot into
the camp of the hlgh-priced and fancy
fixings lines is a hot one, and already
there is squirming and twisting to get
away from the inevitable. But there Is
no use kicking against the prodding, and
the average man nowadays knows
thing or two which all the eunnlngly
constructed advertisements of those
who wants the whole earth, and then
not get enough, cannot blind him to the
actual state of affairs To pay eight or
ten dollars extra for the simple riding
on road that assumes all there is in
this life worth havingis all bosh, and no
longer will the dividends of railroad
company and subsidiary corporations
alike swell at the expense of an over
confiding public. The B. and. o. has
itself gone into the Limited" express
train business, and as is ever the rule
with everything done by the solid Old
corporation, the people profit, and the
Would-be rival lines vince. On all the
limited trains of other routes a sum
is exacted largely in excess of the regu-
lar ticket rate, and the passenger, |
whether it be his choice or not, has to |
paw another extra in the shape of sleep
ing-car fare. If he declines to accept |
the conditions so arbitrarily exacted, he,I
has preforce to go on a slow train, as
according to the latest principles of /
these autecratic. companies, fast time is
only for the wealthy On the B. and o. |
the best is ever deemed the honest due |
of all, and the great American maxim |
that every man is his own master to |
follow his own sweet will has ever been |
the all-gOverning rule of it's half cen
fury and more of existence. In other
words, there are no extra charges of any
character whatsoever on the b. and o.
and fig1r2tively speaking, if a man don't |
want hash, he don't have to have it. If /
he desires sleeper, parlOr car, there
1t is, and the rate for accommodations is
only the regular standard figure, not
doubledsup, as on other lines, in the in
terest of an already all-powerful and
rich sIeeping-car combination,
The day coaches on the B. and o.
Limited are brand new, just out of the
shop, and perfectly appointed, combin-
ing all the latest improvements. They,
as all ether cars on the train run through
without change, and all in the same I'M
paFalleled time. Note the schedule
Chicago Limited leaves that city at $40
pm, arriving in Washington the next
evening at 80, and Baltimore an hour
later, This certainly is flying, a twenty
i've hour run to the National Capital
being all any one could ask. And it is
not done at a dangerous rate Of speed or
in an Gnywav reckless manner. On the
B. and o. they take no risks Of this
sort, but when shortening up the time
merely take out all the MINOR stops, and
bylong, steady runs; cover a.Vast
OF territory IN very short space of time.
Two other !tEainS beside the Chicago
Limited leave the Garden City, one at
$40 in the morning and the other at
lilo at night From st. Louis the
Limited1eaves at am, and from GIN
clnnati at I 30 p M, reaching Washing
ton the nextEafternOon at 2:30, and Bal
tlmore at 3 :s35. There are other trains
also from St. Louis and Cincinnati, and
East bound the 3. and O. fills the bill of
popular expectation to I. West bound
II comes In again with Il schedule liable
to make the officials of other lines take
to their beds with a winters sick head
ache. The Limited for Chicago leaves
Baltimore at g a. M, Washington at
am, and reaches Chicago at $40 the
following "a morning, making a half
hours faster time than the much vaunt- /,
ed : Limited" of a rival line, and on :
which the excess charge is no less than
$S. 1ronl Washington more than on the
b. and q. The iB. and o. Limited for
Cincinnati aad ST. Louis is another
c0rker, leaving Baltimore at noon.
Washington at Los pm and arriving
at Cincinnati at 7;1O am, four hours
ahead, and at st. Louis at $3.50 pm, I
four and half hours ahead, of the So J
called Limited" Express to these cities (,
on the other route. The Pittsburg !
Limited" on the B. and o. is an hour
and half faster from Washington to |
that CITY than any either would-beJ
- Limited, and sothrougaout the whole. {
OF the b. and Q-'s matebless schedule. Z
1t ranks lar above any ever gotten out I
by other lines, no matter what their
boasts or assumption to combine in
themselves all the virtue, excellence and :
this whole country affords.
During the past summer a great amountf 4
Of work has been done all along the
lines On the Baltimore and Ohio. Thej \
track has been Strengthened immense
quantities OF new and heavy steel rail
put down, and to-day the rSde over
Picturesque B. and o., with all its won
drops beauties of nature, its unsurpassed
luxurious cars, its veryl
models of railway dining halls .aad din
ing cars, and its proEerbially polite and
attentive train men. is 10 rney the
equal OF which, for all that gees to please
md satisfy, cannot be made on any
other line on the continent.
