HAS ITS SAY.
And Straight to the Point It ls-No
Exactions, No Extra Charge. and
the Fastest Time Ever Made
Limited" by Means
Excepted.

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.
rs against the exactiOns of some other
ana would-be rival lines. Its latest
shot into the camp of the high-priced
and fancy-iixing lines is hot one,
and already there is squirming and
twisting to get away from the newt
able. But there is no use of kicking
against the prodiing, and the average
man nowadays knows thing or two
which all the cunnngly 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 road
that assumes all there is in This life
worth having is all bosh, and no longer
will the dividends of railroad company
aud subsidiary cOrportions alike swell
at the expense of an over-cOnfidlng
pnbllc. The Ii. g. o. has itself gone
into the ''limited'' express train bust
ness, and. as is ever the rule with
everything done by the solid old cor
poraIion. the people profit, and
would-be rivals vince. On all the
"limited" trains of other routes sum
is exacted largely in excess of the reg
ular ticket rate, and the passenger,
whether it be his choice or not, has to
pay another extra in the shape of
sleeping-car fare. If he declines to
accept the conditions SO arbitrarily
exacted, he has perfOrce to go on a
slow train, rs according to the latest
principles of these autocratic cOnpa-
MES, fast time is only tor the wealthy.
On the Il. 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 its half century aud
more OF existence. la other words,
there are no extra charges of any
character whatsoever on the Il. and
O., and figurativeiy speaking, if u man
don't want hash he don't have to take
it. Ii he desires a sleeper, a parlor
car, there il is, and the rate for accom-
modations is only the regular standard
figure, not doubled up, As on other
lines. in the interest OF an already all
powerful and rich sieeping-car cOmbi-
nation.
The day coaches on the B L. o Linn
tied are brand new, just out of tue
shop, and perfectly appointed, COM
bining all the latest Improvements.
They as all ether cars on the train,
run through without change, and all
in the same unparalleled time Note
The schedule. Chicago Limited leaves
that city at $40 p. NJ, arriving in
Washington the next evening at 1880,
and Baltimore an hour later This
certainly is flying, twenty-five hour
run to the nationa, capital being all
anyone could ask. And ii is not done
at dangerous rate of speed or in any
way reckless manner. On the Il & o
they take no risks of this sort, but
when shortening up the time merely
take out all the minor stops, aud by
long steady runs cover vast amount
OF territory in a very short space of
time. Two other trains besides the
Chicago Limited leave the Garden
City, one at $40 in the morning aud
the other ll:10 at night. From ST.
Louis the Limited leaves at 8 A. NJ.
and from Cincinnati at 1880 p. NJ,
reaching Washington the next after
noon at 2:30 and Baltimore at 1856.
There are other trains also from 81. !

Chicago at 900 the following morn |
ing, making half hours faster time
