No Means Excepted.
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 hiRh-priced and
iancy-fxings lines is hot one, and al.
ready there Is sGuirmIng and twisting TO
get away from the Inevitable. But there
is no use OF kicking against the prod
ding, and the average man nowadays
knows thing or two which all the cum
ningly constructed advertisements of
those who want 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 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
subsidiary corporations alike swell at
the expense of an over-contiding 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 would be rival lines vince.
On all the "limited" trains of other
routes q sum is exacted largely in ex-
cess of the regular ticket rate, and the
passenger, whether 1t be his choice or
not, has to pay another extra in the
shape of sleeping car fare. If he de-
clines to accept the conditions so arbI-
trarily exacted, he has perforce to go
on slow train, as, according to the lat
est principles of these autOcratic COM
panies, 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 max
i'm that every man is his own
master to follow his own sweet will has
ever been the all-goverDing rule of Its
half century and more of existence. In
other words, there are no extra charges
of any character whatsoever on the B. s.
o., and figuratIvely speaking, if q man
don't want hash, he don't have to take
it. If he desires sleeper, paFlOr car,
there it is, and the rate tor accommOda-
tiOns Is only the regular standard figure,
not doubled up, as on other lines, IN the
interest of an already all powerful and
rich sleeping car combination.
The day coaches on the B. s. o. Linn
tied are brand new, just out of the shop,
and perfectly appointed. combining all
the latest Improvements. They, as all
other cars on the train, run through
without change, and all in the same I'M
psralleled time. Note the schedule.
Chicago Limited leaves that city at 5 10
p. m, arriving in Washington the next
evening at 7:30, and Baltimore on
hour later. This certainly is flying, 8
twenty five hour run to the national cap
itsl being all any one could ask. And
it IS not done at a dangerous rate of
spsed or in any way reckless manner &.
On the B. s. o. they take no risks ofthis
| sort, but when shortening up the time
merely take out all the minor stops, and
| by long, steady runs cover vast extent
| of territory IN q very short space OF
time. Two other trains beside the Chi
cago Limited" leave the Garden City,
one at 8 10 in the morning end the other
at IL 10 at night. From st. Louis the
Limited leaves at 8 a. m and from
Cincinnati at 1880 p. m, reaching
Washington next afternoon at 2 80 and
Baltimore at 1886. There are Other
trains also from st. Louis and Cincin
natl, and east bound the B. q o. fills the
bill of popular expectation to T. Wesi

liable to make the officials of other liDei

leaves Baltimore at a. m, Washington
at 8 M, and reaches Chicago at 9:2(
the following morning, making a half
hours faster time than the much vaunteC

the excess charge is no less than SO iron

The B. s. o. Limited for Cincinnati anC
st. Louis is another corkeE, leaving Bait
