The PERFECTION OF RAILWAY TRAVEL is ex-
emplfed in the Royal Blue Line trains now
running between Washington, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia and New York via b. l. .. X. 4 Each
car in every train is vestibuled, including bag
gage cars, day coaches, parlor cars and sleep
ers. All are heated by steam and lighted by
Pintsch gas. The anti-telescoping device is at
tached to every car. Around the ordinary
traveller riding in the day coach is therefore
thrown the same degree of safety as guards the
more exclusive passenger occupying the par
lor or sleeping cars. The comforts of the
coach passengers are further provided for
through the separate lavatories for gentlemen
and ladies in each car. A separate smoking
compartment in each car is also q new feature
that will commend itself to the lovers of the
