PASSES ON RAILWAYS.

A Great Many People who Apply for
Them Are Generally shaken on
'sCongressmen seldom ask us for
free passes, said a railway man to
n Reporter. "On the other hand, the
clerks attached to committee rooms
and the private secretaries of promi-
nent men are most frequent among
our petitioners. Do they get theml
Not usually. You see, in dispensing
such favors we consider chiefly the
question whether the applicant is
able to do the road any service.
1T is very funny 10 observe how
general the impression seems to be
among applicants for passes that
they are able TO be of service to us.
You would imagine from the way
they talk that most of them are the
very pillars of the road. They de-
clare very often that they individual
ly throw into our hands thousands of
dollars worth of passenger traffic,
and on the strength OF that plea they
demand free transportation for them
selves. Such persons as these are to
be found lurking by dozens around
the hotel corridors.
I'VE find very many applicants OF
this sort among the people in the de
partments. Once having got pass,
they have acquired taste for travel
ing free Of charge, and they do not
like the notion Of paying their way
any more. It is astonishing how the
habit Of journeying by rail gratis
grows upon the individual. | knew

who had an annual pass between
Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Hav-
ing little occasion to travel, he did
not use his privilege at all until the
week before his document expired ;
but during that week he did nothing
but travel back and forth between
Harrisburg and Philadelphia just for
the sake of the feeling that he was
getting something for nothing.
"Tramps used to apply to us very
often, but our way to get rid of them
has always been to send them to the

think it is true, as popular writer
and physician has remarked, that i'm
pure air is a prime factor in the de
velopment of tuberculosis. To tell
the truth, people seem to avoid pure
outdoor air as if it were poisonous;
they take the greatest pains to shut
it out of their dwellings, public halls,
churches, schools, places of business,
street cars, railway carriages, thea
ters and other buildings, public or
private. So that wherever we go or
stay, the same thing is to be met
foul air
We speak of the savages as filthy,
wanting in habits of neatness and
cleanliness. But / sometimes think
that the great difference in this re-
spect between ourselves and these
people is that their filth is mostly on
the outside, on the exterior of their
bodies; whereas. we take our impuri-
ties directly into the lungs and from
these into the circulation.
We are careful not TO drink from a
cup that has touched the lips of a
child with a dirty face; but we do not
hesitate to breathe into the lungs air
that is freighted with foul human
excretion, the debris of the vital
organism moreover, these organisms
are often stepped in tobacco, and
other noxious substances. Worse yet,
we live in all atmosphere that has
been breathed over and over again,
not only by ourselves, hut by per
sons, it may be, whose bodies may be
tainted with disease.
DIR. Felix L. Oswald, in speaking of
the habits of so called civilized peo-
pie, says that he thinks it impossible
for any one to escape the contagion
of catarrhal and consun ptive dis
eases, at least wholly, while we have
to circulate among people with their
present habits, visit libraries or lee
ture halls or travel in public vehicles,
where the subject Of ventilation is SO
thoroughly ignored.
Though he is aware of the fact that
these diseases can be eradicated, often
at an advanced stage, by a persistent
application of fresh air and sunshine,
he condemns in unmeasured terms
what he styles the might air hor
ror," and he recommends an abund
ance of the pure article during every
hour Of the twenty-four.
