with tho Coming In of Railways.

with tho Coming In of Railways
As a rule. on the great through lines,
in 1913. everything except passenger
traffic was a very secondary affair. The
Great Western was earning el3. 900 n
week from passengers and only GO, 900
from goods. On the London and Bir-
mingham the goods receipts were much
the same, but the passengers returned
some el5.OO0. On the latter line, for the
first five months of its existence, the
passenger receipts were about e130, 600,
while the total goods earnings were
c2.225 9s. Sd. On the Southwestern the
proportion was six to one, on the Brigh-
ton more han seven to one, on the South
eastern more than ten TO nj
Even on the Midland Counties and
North Midland, where nowadays passen-
gers are far less important than goods
and minerals, five-eighths Of the whole
receipts came from the coaching traffic.
Taking England as a whole, the goods
traffic was only about a quarter of The
total instead of three-ffths, Is it is to-
day. The highways were I'M
occupied. The turnpike tolls from Swim
don to Christian Malford, in Willis,
which had been let at e1 ,992 In 1871,
only produced e654 in 1912. For the
tolls on the road from Wakefield to Shelf
field not a single tender was sent in, and
the trustees were obliged to collect them
themselves. The forty coaches which
had run daily through Northampton
were all dead within six months of the
opening OF the London and Birming-
han. Almost every week came a 10
tice that some famous line of coaches
had ceased to run.
Here is one under date Of Oct. 10,
1919: "a few years since n%inety-four
coaches Used to pass through st. Adams
daily. On Saturday last the Leeds ex-
press, formerly called the Sleepy Leeds
which has been on the road upward of
n hundred years, ceased running, it be-
ing no longer a profitable speculation;
and it is said another out of the four re-
manning is likely soon to follow the ex-

In March, 1912, n few weeks after the
opening of the Edinburgh and Glasgow
railway, The Glasgow Courier reports:
THE whole of the stage coaches from
Glasgow and Edinburgh are now off the
road, with the exception of the 6 o'clock
morning coach, which is kept running
in consequence of its carrying the mail

This is rank injustice. TIE Sun doesn't

the Boomerang takes offense was gener-

cause for complaint against Cheyenne

considering the question of appointing a

The secretary of the state board of
health of Wisconsin, J. T. Reeve, NJ.
D., of Appleton, recently issued cir
cular letter in which he says that the
correspondence of his Office shows that
both diphtheria and scarlet fever have
recently appeared in an unusually
large number of places in this state,
and also in many of these places it
has been of very severe type. For this
reason the state board of health sug-
gests great vigilance in the control of
these diseases, and especially of the
first cases that appear in any cemmu-
nifty. Every case should be strictly
isolated and no member of any family
lin which either disease exists should
be allowed to attend school or to enter
any public assembly. Whenever any
case has terminated, the place in which
it has been should be thoroughly dis
infected, and in case of death, on no
account should there be any public
funeral. The state board of health
viii be glad to supply circulars on
either of these diseases (printed in
English, German or Norweigan) for
free distribution in any community
where they exist.

on Oct. Il, 1867. In infancy he was
a bright child and evinced remark
able goodness of heart and a quiet
disposition. which doubly endeared him
to the hearts of his fond parents and
his brothers and sisters. His early
education was obtained in the district
schools. With the view of entering
the service of the church he studied
for two years at st. Joseph's college
at Dubuque, Iowa, and afterwards
spent two years under the instruction
of the Jesuits at the college of st.
Ignatius in Chicago. While at the
latter place he met with an accident
that interrupted his studies. BY this
accident he was injured in the chest,
and while still suffering from this in
jury he contracted a severe cold which
settled in his lungs and chest and
brought on consumption. The efforts
of eminent physicians to restore him
to health proving unayailng, he went
to Florida to try change of climate.
After spending some time there with
no change for the better he returned
home resigned to his fate; and for the
past two years his family realized that
he could not recover. While at college

average standing above the boys of
his age, and by his upright life and
kindness of heart won the regard and
affection of his professors and fellow
students. He was very affectionate
to everyone, especially to his parents,
brothers and sisters. He died brief
painless and serene death, surrounded
by the members of the family, and
beseeching those whom he left behind
to follow in the footsteps of their
Savior. The funeral services were
held at St. Paul's Catholic church on
Monday, when solemn high mass was
celebrated Rev. Father Weinhart

non, deacon, Rev. Father O'Keefe,
sub-deacon. The church was COM
pletely filled by the relatives and the
many friends of the deceased. The
funeral sermon was preached by Rev.
Father O'Keefe, who is an able and
eloquent preacher at all times, but on
this occasion was at his best. His
words deeply affected his listeners,
at times bringing tears to the eyes of
all, but were comforting and hopeful
withal. After the services at the
church the remains were laid at rest
in ST. Paurs churchyard.
The family of the deceased desire
to return sincere thanks to many
friends for kindness and sympathy
extended during their bereavement.
