rxw SCHEDULE TO THE SOUTHWEST.

From our latest information We feel lusti-
fed in stating that on Sunday next, the 9Th
instant tho new early mail schedule 10
Lvnchburg and tho Southwest will be put
into effect via Burkeville. Our expectation ID
that tho mail leaving Richmond at 1920 A. Nj.
Will rench Lynchburg Mt 100. that Is. In four
hours. and be laid down at Roanoke at $40
and at Bristol. Tennessee. ut 2:i0 and about
tho same hour at Pocahontas.
BY this TIE Tf1Ks and our morning con-
temporaries will DO delivered at points west OF
Iynchburg nearly nine hours earlier than at
present.
More than year ago the management OF
THE TINES saw the necessity OF speciaI
preparation, both in its own equip
ment and facilities and OF modihca-
ton of railroad schedules in order to
pu. before the people of the Southwest
first-rate Richmond paper. To this end we
equipped our Office with the fastest and most
perfect Hoe press between Washington and
Atlanta. We secured special telegraph line
into our building. so that neither news nor
time would be lost. We urged upon the off,
necessity Of delaying their early mail train
from 2:55 to 800 in order that the latest tele-
grams might be sent out and now. upon our
representation OF its great importance, the
Norfolk and Western railroad has handsomely
met further effort on the part OF the Rich
mond and Danyille and The TINES may
Justly claim the honor Of leading and opening
the way whereby the morning papers Of Rich
mond VIII reach Lynchburg and points west
at an hour heretofore deemed utterly imprac-
ticable.
This of course, could not have been posi-
BILE without the cordial cooperation Of the
railroads.
If now the Chesapeake and Ohio train (No.
81. leaving Lynchburg at A. NJ. could be
held back until 1920 A. NJ. our friends in
Lexington who are 50 cut of would get their
Richmond papers by $3.50 a. NJ. instead Of z.
NJ. as is now the csae.
This Arrangement would also give mail
connection with the II 4. NJ. train Of tho
Baltimore and Ohio Valley Branch and put
tho Richmond papers down the Valley twelve
hours sooner than now. Certainly the diff
Guilty to be overcome in accomplishing this
last very desirable connection is not as great
as that encountered in that at Burkeyiue
between the Danvlle and the Norfolk and
Western railroads.
We propose to press this matter of mail
facilities and prompt railroad connections I'M
til every part of Virginia shall feel in touch
with its capital

Out in Nevada the man who carries off the
political honors is not he who deserves 10 do
so by force Of natural talent aud special train
ing, but he who has the longest purse.
Few men from the West in recent years
have filed the position Of United States Sem
ator with more usefulness and distinction than
Stewart. who commended himself specially TO
the good will of the South by voting in favor
OF the confirmation of Lamar as a Justice of
the Supreme Court and in opposition to the
passage of the Force bill two acts which
proved that he subordinated partisanship TO
the best interests of the country. In the rest
OF his senatorial career he has shown the same
enlightened spirit

Mackay is merely a millionaire who has
shown his good sense in combining himself 10

Let him remain in his mines, where he is

he will have no real claim TO consideration.
He is an adept in the mining business, and

He is d steady. sturdy champion of Democratic

ions nor sought to court favor by yielding his
convictions for purposes Of doubtful expe-
diency. Having made himself the foremost

How They Drive In London.

England is the only place / know of
where they drive to the left. English
drivers say that by sitting on the right
and driving to the left they can better
watch the hubs of approaching vehicles,
and thus prevent collisions. I don't
exactly understand this, but it is the
explanation they give for driving to the
left.
Quick-going vehicles will turn cor
ner sharply, but the driver raises his
whip to notify the vehicle in his inn
mediate rear that he is about to turn.
"Cabbies" are more considerate concern
ing fellow-driyers than they are thought
full about the lives and limbs of pedes-
TRANS. All their attention is given to
the roadway. Pedestrians must look
out for themselves or be run over. That
is why SO many of the Lodon police are
engaged solely in attending to street
traffic. Yet. with all their vigilance,
more accidents occur in London proper
tionately, than elsewhere. London
drivers are polite and very civil to each
other. If an obstruction appears in
front of horse, or if for any reason, he
is obliged to suddenly slow up, the
driver will Immediately notify the driver
in the rear by holding out horizontally
his left arm; and this sign is passed
down from one driver to another until
the very end Of the line OF blocked ye-
hicles is reached Neao York Home

shrub and tree out on the lawn, and
George strolled through them for
hours, busy with his own thoughts.
His dark, moody feelings were gone.
He felt much brighter and looked
TO the future with pleasure. True, he
felt sense of guilt, for he believed the
boy would find the pistol lying on tie
mantle the next day. What then?
George shrugged his shoulders.
Why should / care?r he thought.
3The boy is curse. He Is q nothing.

little. But who will know"
But what il this something" should
not occur? Then what? Poverty and
dependence Georges face grew dark.
However. it was only for an instant.
He was very sure.
Tired of walking, George sat down
on a chair just outside the library
window.
Meanwhile the brain of the little i'm
beetle was more active than it had ever
been before. He had climbed upon the
chair, taken the pistol and snapped it.
delighted to see the sparks fly. His
nurse had found him there on the chair
at dusk and had taken the pistol from
him.
Morg was put to bed, but he did not
sleep. He lay quite still for long
time until his nurse went away. Then
he got out of bed laughing, for he was
vaguely aware of having played trick
on her.
The great house was quiet and dark.
He stole along the Railways, down the
stairs, into the library. Climbing up
on the chair, he soon had the fintlock
in his hands. He got down and went
over by the window where he could see
his new plaything by the light of the
moon. 1t gave him the greatest de-
light, and he was gently laughing in his
silly way.
He reached the window without max
ing noise, for he was barefooted. Just
outside sat George, wholly absorbed in
his own thoughts. The moonlight
shone on his forehead. The wind gently
blew back his hair. There was the
birth mark. a.,
The idiot boy opened his eyes wider.
That red spot on the white forehead was
connected in his feeble mind with the
muzzle of the old fiintlock.
Slowly, as if not knowing just what
| he was doing, he lowered the pis-
toll until the muzzle was within an inch
of the mans head.
George had not heard sound. Now
he saw. He turned quickly to find him
self confronted with the death he had
prepared for another.
His wild, terrified expression fright
ened the child. There was a flash and
report. George fell back in his chair
and stream of blood flowed from his
head near the red spot.
The idiot boy dropped the pistol,
amazed at the report. Then he laughed
| and ran away.
George Herbin had reaped what he
| had sown.

The Tunnel Seemed Long.

A thrilling experience, although not
ending fatally, was had by a railway
mail clerk who acted as distributor on
local train, says the Washington Star.
He had car to himself, and at one
station up in the Allegheny Mountains
had left his car for minute or two to
run forward to the engine, which was
taking water. The water tank was
directly west of the great tunnel, and
when the tender was filled and the train
started the clerk sprang for his car.
The entrance to the car was on the side
and a solitary handle was grasped,
whereby the clerk pulled himself up to
the door. To his horror he found the
door had been Jared shut and could not
be opened from the outside, and the
second that he discovered this fact the
train shot into the tunnel. With q
desperation born of terrible death
staring him in the face the clerk ham
mered and kicked on the door and
shrieked aloud for help, but the noise
of the train drowned his cries, and with
both hands grasping the handle his feet
on the iron step and his body glued to
the side of the car, for fear of being
dashed off by the jagged sides, he was
carried through the tunnel.
As the tunnel is mile long and the
atmosphere therein is almost sitting
this luckless mail clerks experience
can be better imagined than described:
When the train shot into daylight again
the engineer looked back, as is the
custom, to see if his train was following
all right, and discovered the clerk in his
narrowing position. Quickly stopping
his engine the engineer ran back, and
with the assistance of the conductor,
helped the almost demented man to the
ground, where he utterly collapsed. the
strain upon his nerves being too great.
For six months he was under physi-
clans care, and after he had become q
well man again, he said: Il thought
that tunnel was ten miles long, and my
head, ! imagined, was hollow, with the
dense smoke rushing in my mouth and
nostrils and coming out of my ears like
steam pipes. Whenever / think of that
ride my brain reels and I feel myself
crouching as did upon the outside of
the car during that horrifying expert
ence."
