talking out in meeting for the interests OF
the trayelin lblic, as against the exactisns
of some other and wonld-be rival lines It's
latest shot into the campo OF the high priced
aud lancy-fxings lines is a hot one, and all
ready there is squirming aud twisting to get
away from the inevitable. But there Is no
use of kicking against the prodding, and the
average man now a-days knows thing or
two which all the cunningly constructed ad-
yertisements of those who want the whole
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
a road that assumes all there is in this life
worth having is all bosh, and no longer will
the dividends of railroad company and sub
sidiary corporations alike swell at the eX-
pense of am over-confding public. The Il.
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 would-be
rival lines vince. On all the limited
trains ofo.her routes a sum is exacted large
~ in excess of the regular ticket rate, and
the passenger, whether it be his choice or
not, has TO pay another extra ia the shape OF
sleepiug-car fare. If he declines TO accept
the conditions so arbitrarily eXacted, he has
periorce to go on u slow train, as, according
to the latest principles Of these autocratic
companies. fast time is only for thcweaiihy
On the b. aud o. the best is ever deemed
the honest due Of all and the great Ameri-
can maxim that every man is his own mas
ter 10 follow hs own sweet viii has ever
been the all-goyerning rule OF lis half cen
tury and more of existence IN otherwords
there are no extra charges of any character
whatsoever on the b. and .. and, fguraLiye-
ly speaking. it man don't want nash, he
don't have TO take IT, II he desires a sleeper,
parlor car, there it Is, and the rate tor ac-
commodations IS only The regular standard
figure, not doubled up, as on other lines, in
the interest OF an already a!i-poweriul and
rich sleeping-car combination.
The day coaches ON the B. & o. Limited
are brand new, just ont Of shop, and per
fechy appointed, combining all tie latest
improvements. They, as ali other cars on
the train, run through without change, and
all in the same unparalleled time. Notethe
schedule. Chicago Limited leaves that city
at so p. NJ, arriving Ia Washington tie
next evening at 80, and Baltimore an hour
later. This certainly is flying, twenty
five hour run to tie National Capital being
all any one could ask. And it is not done
at dangerous rate of speed or in anyway
reckless manner On the B. q o. they take
no risks of this sort. but when shortening ny
the time merely take out all the minor stops,
and By long, steady runs covera vast extent
of territory in a very short space of time.
Two other trains beside the Chicago Linz
tied" leave the Garden City, enc at $40 in
the morning and the other at lilo at night.
From ST Louis the Limited leaves at A.
NJ. and from Cincinnati at 100 p NJ,
reaching Washington next afternoon at go
and Baltimore at 395. There are other
trains also from St. Louis aud Cincinnati,
and East bound the B. and O. fills the bin
of popular expectation to at. West bound
il comes in again with a schedule liable 10
make the officials Of other lines take to their
beds with winters sick headache. The
Limited for Chicago leaves Baltimore at
A. NJ, Washington at 9 a. NJ, and reaches
Chicago at 920the following morning, max
ing a halt-hour's faster time than the much
vaunted Limited" of a rival line, and ON
which the excess charge is no less than IS
from Washington more than on the B. & O.
The B. d O. Limited for Cincinnati and st.
Louis is another corker, leaving Baltimore
at noon, Washington at los 2. NJ, and ar
irving at Cincinnati at 40 A. H., fourhours
ahead and at ST. Louis at $50 2. M., four
and half hours ahead, of the so-callcd
Limited Express to these cities on the
other route The Pittsburg " Limited on
the B. & O. is IN houraud halfiaster from
Washington to that city than any other
would-be Limited" and SO throughout the
whole of the B. & 0. : matches new sched-
ule, it ranks far above any ever gotten out
by other lines, no matter what their boasts
or assumption to combine in themselves all
the virtue, excellence and enterprise this
whole country affords. During the past
summer a great amount OF work has been
done all along the lines ofthe Baltimore and
Ohio. The track has been Strengthened, inn
uense quantities of new and heavy steel rail
put down, and to-day the ride over Piciur-
esque B. x O., with ali its wonjrous beauties
of nature, Its unsurpassed equipment, lux
urious cars, and its proverbialIy polite and
attentive train men, is journey the equal
Of which, for all that goes TO please and sat
isty, cannot be made on any other line on
the continent.
