THE Boston Advertiser suggests a new
verb ITO blair" and gives its definition
in honor Of Senator Blair Of the ill
famed education bill thus
The expression to blair cause will
mean to make it obnoxious to those who
would naturally favor it by mediocre,
self-willed, everlasting, petulant, hobby
riding, not-observant, and essentially
vain and egostistical advocacy as TO make
q good proposition seem a poor one, and
bring certain defeat out of what might
otherwise have proved an easy victory.
The New York Sun urges two objec-
tions to this new verb. The first objec-
tion is that there is already verb ITO
blare, which means to bleat, roar, cry,
below, to give forth loud sound like q
trumpet, to sound loudly, to proclaim
noisily. The Sun suggests prophetically
that this verb win likely be in approved
and familiar existence after Henry
w. Blair shall have disappeared from
public notice in a straight jacket ''or
gone to his everlasting reward in the
pigeon-hole Of eternity" The second
objection is to the implication that the
Blair educational bill was good and
would have succeeded II Blair had moi
blaired it. That is not true. though II il
fact that Blair would blair any bill, nC
matter how good.

Increasing Traffic Demands Increased

The steady and rapid growth Of the
Reading railroad passenger and freight
business is attested by the frequency and
magnitude of the additions made to the
motive power and car equipment of this
popular line. The Pullman Company Of
Chicago has just begun the delivery of 6
large number of passenger coaches and
freight cars for which the Reading Com
pany contracted several months ago The
order includes 1000 gondola cars. fifty
frst-class passenger coaches and six bag.
gage cars. The freight cars will be of the
most Observation-Disclosures and eachwil
have a carrying capacity Of thirty tons
The passenger cars will be similar in de-
sign to the very handsome coaches placed
on the Readings Atlantic City line last
summer. The latter, which were likewise
built by Pullman, elected general ad-
miration. The new baggage cars will bs
OF uncommonly large dimensions, being in
tended chiefly for the. transportation Of tn,

In addition to this new car equipment
an order has been placed with the Bald

burning locomotives, embracing thirt,
fast freight engines, ten shifting engines
and ten passenger locomotives, the lattei
being of the same pattern as those whicl
