An Interesting Publication.
The international committee of the rail-
road branch of the Young Mems Christian
Association have published. in pamphlet
form, an article entitled "A Railroad Prob
lem and It's Solution" giving a comprehen-
live account of the work of these assooia-
tons for railroad men. There is a map show
ing where the associations are located, and
handsome ~engravings of buildings which
have been erected for railroad men, among
them the $4,000 building erected by Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and the three cottages
erected on the line of the Chesapeake 81
Ohio. the expense of which was borne by
that company. The total cost of the build
ings erected for that purpose up to the pres
ent time is $4,000. There are now eighty
four cities and towns which have railroad
branches of the Y. NJ. G. A. testimonials
OF Q dozen prominent railroad officers are
given at the end of the pamphlet. These
are unanimous in their hearty approval of
the work. and the expressions used sug-
Gesc the reason for regarding the
title of the pamphlet as an appropriate
evil. and the I'M. c. A. rooms are a very
effectusl antidote. President ingalls,, of
the Big Four and Chesapeake x Ohio. says:
'I often hear objections To 1t on the ground
that il 10 semi-religious and not entirely
social. This Is one of the reasons why /
like it. 1t is the one controlling feature
that has tended to mako 1t o success. l
would not object If our large and wealthy
clubs had more of that element. The word
Christian - so comprehensive that il
ought not to disturb the sectarian notions
OF any one. and the man that Is not 9 Chris
tlan-in the broad definition of that term
i have no use for."
