Perfection Of Railroad Management

Nothing so thoroughly exemplifies
the perfection of railroad management
as the manner in which the immense
amount of travel to the Inauguration
was handled by the roads composing
the Great tennsylvania System,
Never before in the history OF this
country has there been such demand
made upon transportation facilities, as
during the four days Immediately pre-
ceding and succeeding the Attn of
March ; yet, under its splendid organi-
zation, the vast travel was accommo-
dated without the semblance of an ac-
cident, or more than trivial delay.
Thousands came from the North, East,
West, and South, aggregating total
Of from 100000 10000, over the lines
of this one company alone, yet they
were all accommodated without any ap-
parent effect on the part of the Great
Corporation, which justly is acknowl-
edged the leading railroad of the world.
This grand achievement is not due
alone to the skill and experience of its
oihcere anu einpioyes, oue W its sPi, hu-
i'd switch and block signal system,
which makes the handling of many ad-
ditional trains as simple and easy as
the movement of its regular service.
Superiority of management and per-
lection of modern appliances were
never before so aptly shown, aud the
result accomplished is but auother il
lustration of the fact that speed, COM
fort, and perfect safety are always
guaranteed when We journey over the
lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad and
its branches.

Street Education.


Night after night the streets are
throng'd with crowds of boys and half
grown youths-and even after the
greater part of the older persons have
left the lhoroughfares aud gone home,
these boys can be seen wandering
around, The question naturally arises
whether their parents know where
these boys are, or to use a vulgarism,
do their mo hers know they are out =!
Do the parents OF these boys, who are
in tbs majority of cases good citizens,
know that street education, as gained
by boys after dark, is not of the best ?
Do they feel that they are discharging
the sacred duties imposed upon them
as fathers in thus permitting their sons
TO run Wild and mingle with compan-
iors of the lowest order The street
is very poor training school, the in
struction gained there is certainly not
of the best or noblest. If parents will
only take this to heart aud consider
the matter seriously, we think the boys
will keep at home, after night at least.
