Has ITS SAY.
And Straight to the Point 1t Is. No Ex-
actions, No Extra Charge and
the Fastest Time Ever Made.
Limited" by Means
Errented.

The Baltimore & 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 ex-
actions of some other and would-be rival
lines. Its latest shot into the camp of the
high-priced and fancy-fxings lines is a hot
one, and already there is squirting and
twisting to get away from the inevitable.
But there is no use Of kicking against the
prodding, and the average man nova
days knows a thing or two which all the
cunningly constructed advertisements Of
those who wan 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 n 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 confding public.
The Baltimore & Ohio 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 a
sun is exacted largely in excess of the
regular ticket rate, and the passenger,
whether it be his choice or not, has to
pay another extra in the shape of sleep
ing car fare. If he declines to accept the
conditions so arbitrarily exacted, he has
p~erforce to 20 on a slow train, rs, accord
ing to the latest principles OF these auto
cratic companies, fast time is only for the
wealthy. On the Baltimore x Ohio the
best is ever deemed the honest due of all,
and the great American maxim that every
mar is his W master to follow his own
sweet will has ever been the all-governing
rule of its half century and more of cxis-
tence. In other words, there are no extra
charges of any character whatsoever on
the Baltimore & Ohio, and, 6guratively
speaking, il a man don't want hash, he
don't have to take it. If he desires a
sleeper, a parlor car, there it is, and the
rate for accommodations is only the regu-
lar standard figure, not doubled up, as on
other lines, in the interest of an already
all-powerful and rich sleeping car combi-
nation.
The day coaches on the Baltimore &
Ohio limited are brand new, just out of
the shop, and perfectly appointed, com
bining all the latest improvements. They,
as all other cars on the train, run through
without change, and all in the same I'M
paralleled time. Note the schedule.
Chicago limited leaves hat city at $40 p.
NJ, arriving in Washington the next
evening at 1870, and Baltimore an hour
later. This certainly is flying, a twenty
five hour run to the National Capital, be-
ing all any one could ask. And it is not
done at a dangerous rate of speed or in
an anyway reckless manner. On the
Baltimore & Ohio they take no risks of
this sort, but when shortening up the
time merely take out all the minor stops,
and by long, steady runs cover a vast ex-
tent of territory in a very short space Of
time. Two other trains beside the Chi
cago Limited leave the Garden City,
one at $40 in the morning and the other
at ll:l0 at night From St. Louis the
limited leaves at s a. m, and from Gin
cinqati at 1880 p. M, reaching Washing
ton next afternoon at 2:30 and Baltimore
at 1886. There are other trains also from
St. Louis and Cincinnati, and eastbound
the Baltimore & Ohio fills the bill of
popular expectation to a t. Westbound
it comes in again with a schedule liable to
make the officials of otter lines take to
their beds with a Winters sick headache.
The limited for Chicago leaves Baltimore
at s a. M, Washington at Q a. H., and
reaches Chicago at 900 the following
morning, making a half hours faster
time than the much vaunted limited of
a rival line, and on which the excess
charge is no less than IS from Washing
ton more than on the Baltimore & Ohio.
The Baltimore & Ohio limited for Cincin-
natl and St. Louis is another corker, leav-
ing Baltimore at noon, Washington at
LOS p. m, and arriving at Cincinnati At
7;l0 a. M. four hours ahead, and at st.
Louis at $3.50 d. M, four and a half hours
ahead of the so-called Limited express
to these cities on the other route. The
Pittsburg limited on the Baltimore &
Ohio is an hour and a half faster from
Washington to that city than any other
would-be limited" and so throughout
the whole of the Baltimore g. Ohio's
matchless new schedule, 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 coun
try affords. During the past Summer a
great amount of work has been done all
along the lines Of the Baltimore & Ohio.
The track has been Strengthened, i'm
mense quantities of new and heavy steel
rail put down, and to-day the ride over
Picturesque Baltimore & Ohio, with all
its wondrous beauties of nature, its un-
surpassed equipment, luxurious cars, its
very models Of railway dining halls and
dining cars, and its proverbially polite
and attentive train men, is a journey the
equal of which, for all that goes to please
and satisfy, cannot be made on any other
line on the continent.
