HINDOsTAN RAILWAYS.
The Time it WI Take to Complete tn
Proposed System.

The Time it WI Take to Complete the
Proposed System.
In the year 1880 the number of miles of
railway officially reported as in operation
was 9,872. By the report of the Director
General of India for 1888 the miles of rail-
way in operation numbered 11,025, and
during that year $50 miles had been CON-
pleted and opened for traffic. But the
government had sanctioned 3,425 miles
more. A select committee of the British
Parliament reported early in the present
year favorably to an extension of the
British India system to 10000. That in
wolves the construction of 1915 miles
more than were in operation at the close
Of 1888. And if the work of construction
does not progress more rapidly than in
1888. it will take over 16 years to
complete the system to the 10000 miles
recommended. British India will then
in the year 1900-have little less than
twice as many miles of railway as Illinois
had two years ago. The area of India is
eighteen times as great as that of Illinois.
SO in sixteen years she will be just about
one-ninth as we'll supplied with railways
according to area as Illinois was two
years ago. In the meantime the whole
United States, which had 100, 900 miles IN
operation at the end of 1888, will probably
have increased her system by the year
1900 to 100000 miles at least, or ten times
the mileage Of the India system.
1t is a part of the history of the British
India railways that they have steadily in.
creased their gross and net earnings. In
1878 the net returns on the capital invested
in 1886 miles of railway was 3M per cent
In 1888 the capital invested in Ii ,025 miles
returned nearly per cent. (5.9l }. The
report of the directOr-general faV0rs State
construction, because ''the capital raised
on the State securities can be had at lower
rates of interest than capital on private
or corporation securities" But it dis
counts this advantage by the remark that
9'the work of construction on government
liaes is dependent on the monetary con-
dition of the eXChequer," while on cor
poration lines the work goes on without
interruption. 1t appears that England
has raised S340, 600, 900 for the construction
and equipment of India railways, and
India but Sc, $50. 900. OF the dividends on
all India roads $196, 100000 has been paid
away to nonresident English stockhold-
ers and Sl47, 100000 to residents of India.
The roads in operation and those in course
of construction last year gave employ
ment, in one way and another, to 1S5, 261
hands. of whom III, 2S7 were natives,
1919 East Indians and 1896 Europeans.
A considerable reduction in the rates OF
freights and passengers had the effect OF
largely increasing the traffic on the roads.
The wheat traffic under the old rates was
but 600 tons in 1881, against 10000
tons in 1888. 1t is worthy of remark that
the lower rates yielded the highest diyi-
dends.

sleeping Car Law in Oregon


Judge Deadly, OF the United States Cir
cult Court in Oregon, has decided case
which possesses some interest. A pas
senger on a Pullman palace car going
from st. Paul to Portland handed his pis-
toll to the porter to put away for him. The
porter allowed the pistol to drop while
passing through the car. One Of the bar
rels was discharged, and the bullet
struck Il woman, injuring her severely.
She sued the Pullman Company for $685.
600 damages. The company set up that
it was not liable, for the reason that it
was against its rules for the porter to
receive as custodian any baggage, pack
age or article from a passenger. The
court held that the company cannot
escape liability by showing that the pOr-
ter acted contrary to orders. If he was
acting in "the course CT his employment
when he took charge OF the weapon and
was guilty ofnegligence in dropping it,
the company that employed him was liza
bic for damages. Whether the porter was
acting in ''the course of his employment
in this instance WAS a question OF fact to
be determined By the evidence on the
tfial.

AN OLD CLOTHING HOUSE.
JOHN McCULLOUGH,s WIFE.
The Slender Little Woman who was tht
Companion of the Struggling Actor.

The Slender Little Woman who was tho
Companion of the Struggling Actor.
A little while ago, says a Philadelphia
letter to the Chicago Tribune, a slender
and rather pretty woman of the medium
height, and apparently almost touching
the meridian of life, passed me. Her
simple, but elegant attire did rot make
one obIivious of the fact that her face was
careworn and full Of suffering. This
woman is the wife of John Mccullough,
the tragedian. They have been living
apart for years, though he contributes
literally to her support. Why they
separated is their affair, and perhaps no
other PERSONS business. She is a good
woman, if she is commonplace. he mar
ried her when he was unknown and poor,
and she was, What she still is, simple
hearted woman of that part of the city
that we call Fishtown. He may think
that he has Outgrown her, just as Dickens
believed he had grown above mis- wife. If
that is so, it may be the way of the world,
but the world way down in its boots
despises it.
All our actions bring with them their
own compensation or their own retribu-
ton. And this we may say: If John Nc
Cullough had held in his heart the purity,
the sacredness and the sweetness of even
a lowly home above all things else mum
dane, he would not be an object of pity in
his prime. EXuberant spirits, jolly CON-
pany and the means to crafty all ones
des- res may seem like desirable things in
their way, but in a long race, if even to
win only the satisfying things OF life,
there IS nothing so inspIritiDg, so consola-
tory and so safe as the peacefulness and
the condolences of ones own household.
Yet, whether Mccullough brought his sOr-
rows upon his own head or not, there is
wide and deep sympathy with him in this
city, where he was born and where he
struggled with adversely.
Mccullough was the bosom friend of
three men who will figure in history, and
all of whom had the threads of their lives
snapped in an instant. They were Edwin
Forrest, who died of paTalytic stroke; j.
Wilkes Booth, the murderer of Lincoln,
and who was shot to death in barn; and
Ralston, the California bank President, of
whom it will be charity to say that after
his downfall he was drowned while bath
ing in the Pacific. Mccullough must
wonder sometimes, l fancy, whether he
will go the way of his intimates. He has
a wider circle of distinguished ac-
quaintances than any other actor in
America. Men renowned in law, politics
and art delight to have him as guest.
He is the always welcome friend of Presi-
dent Arthur, of many Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
Of Senators and Representatives innumer-
able. He was often on the floor of the
Senate, and the dignified statesmen there
assembled were delighted to gather round
him, shaking him by the hand and chat
ting. He arranged his time so as to be in
the city, if possible, during the Christ
mas holidays, and was always down for
half dozen dinners during that time.

had fancied from the freedom with which
my Philadelphia friends in the West End
chatted about the nobility that they were
familiar with the lineage of every peer
worth knowing. One dear old fat woman,
who has spinster daughter with 40 years
and half million dollars to her credit
has the-the-the-how do you call it?-
the nerve to proclaim herself daughter
of the House of Hanover and a cousin 500
degrees removed of Victoria Regina. 1t
was this wise old lady, l ascertained, that
had succeeded in capturing Debrett from
the library. 1t must be admitted, take
it, that the discovery l made is enough to
give ones faith in Philadelphia aristoc-
racy shock.
l think it would be good thing, by the
way, if the library l spoke Of would buy
or hire few more copies of Debrett and
Burke. For in about three weeks dis
tinguished English ecclesiastic and two
noble lords will be under one roof in town
