HAS IT'S SAY.
AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT IT Is. NO
EXACTIoNs, NO EXTRA CHARGE, AND
THE EASIEST TIME EVER MADE.

EXCEPTED.


and more saucy than ever when it comes
to talking out in meeting for the interest
of the travelling public, as against the ex-
actions of some other and would Ue rival
lines It's latest shot in to the camp Of
the high priced and fancy ffxings lines is
a hot one, and already there is sqnirming
and twisting to get away from the inevi-
table. But there is no use of kicking
against the prodding, and the average
man now days knows thing or two
which all the cunningly constructed al
vcrtisements 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 and subsidiary corpor-
atoms alike swell at the expense of an
| overcontiding public. The D. aud 0. has
itself gone into the limited express
| tram business and. rs is ever the rule
with everything done by the solid old cor
poration, the people profit and would be
rival lines vince On all the 'limited
trains of other routes IA sum is eXaGted
largely in excess of the regular ticket
rate, and the passenger whether ii he his
1 choice or not, has to pay another extra in
| in the shape of sleeping car fare. Ii he
declines to accept the condition so arbi~
trarily eXacted, he has perforcc to go on
! a slow train, rs, according to the latest
principles of these autocratiC companies,
fast time is only for the wealthy. On the
r. and 0. 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 covering rule of its half Gems
fury and more of existence. In other
| words, there are no extra charges Of any
| character whatsoever on the b. and D
and, iiguratively speaking, if a man don't
want hash, he don't have 10
| take it. If he desires a sleeper, II
parlor car, there it is, and the rate for
accommodations is only the regular STAN
! dard figure, not doubled up rs on other
lines, in the interest of an already ailpOw
erful and rich sleeping car combination.
The day coaches on the Is Il Q. Linn
tied are brand new, just out of the shop
and perfectly appointed, combining al
tie latest improvements. They, as al
other cars on the train, run through with
out change, and all in the same un2arall
elrd time. Note the schedule. Chicago
limited leaves that city ut 80 p m, ar
irving ii Washington the next evening "a
7.30, and Baltimore an hour later. This
certainly is flying, a twenty-five hour rui
to the National Capital being all any unt
could ask And it is not done at dan
@erous rate Of speed or in anyway rcck
less manner. On the b. Il o they TAX,
no risks Of this sort, but when shnrtenjns
O., up the time merely take out all the mino
stops, and 10y long, steady runs cover
vast extent OF territory in u very short
space Of time. Two other trains beside
the Chicago Limited leave the Gardel
City, one at SO in the morning and TIL:
other at II 10 at night From Ste Loui
the Limited leaves at q. m. and fTon
Cincinnati at $50 p. m, reaching Wash
ington next afternoon at $50 and Balti
more at 3.35. There are other trains als
+ from st. Louis and Cincinnati, ana cas-
bound the B. & 0. fills the bill of pop
ular expectation to a T. West bound i
comes again with a schedule liable t
make the officials of other lines take I,
! their beds with winters sick headache
The Limited for Chicago leaves BaltimOr
at s a. M, Washington at a. m, an
reaches. Chicago at. $50 the followin
V morning, making half hours faster tim
+ than the much Wanted Limited" of
rival line, and on which the excess Charg
is no less than SIS from Washington NOR
than on the b. Il o. The B. Il 0. Linn
{ tied for Cincinnati and st. Louis is anoth
- cr corker, leaving Baltimore at noon
| Washington at LOS p. m. and arriving
at Cincinnati at 10 a. M. four hour
t ahead. and at ST. Louis at $50 p m.
four and a half hours ahead, Of the s
called Limited express to these cities o
on the other route. The Pittsbur;
[ Limited on the B. & 0. is an hour ant
i a half faster from Washington to tina
=: city than any other would be Limited,
;, and so throughout the whole of the 3
!, O. 5 matchless new schedule, it ranks ia
n 1abOvc any ever gotten out by other lines
c no matter what their boasts or assump
+ ton to combine in themselves all tn
Il virtue, excellence and enterprise thi
. whole country affords. During the pas
= summer a great amount of work has bee
r done all along the lines of the BaltimOr

over the picturesque B. & O., with all il
o wondrous beauties of nature, its unsur

models Of railway dining halls and dinin
