selves acquainted with railway trans
portation thoroughly, and while in no
way failing to recognize the splendid ser
vice furnished the public by the great
railway lines Of America, the writer be-
lleves that he is stating nothing too
strongly in saying that in his judgment
there is not service in the world, which
taken as whole, will compare with the
famous Royal Blue Line, composed of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the
Philadelphia and Reading and Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads. Not only is the
time made between these points, via this
line, the quickest ever made between
New York and Washington, but with
road bed that IS simply perfect, and an
equipment so luxurious as to leave moth
ing to be desired, it furnishes no doubt
the ilnest service Of any line in the
world.
Every train via the Royal Blue Line is
vestibuled from end to end, and consists
not only of the most luxurious parlor
and sleeping cars ever made by the Pull
man Palace Car Company, but also of
palaatIal day coaches far superior to the
parlor cars run on many lines, with
smoking compartments fitted up with
chairs and sofas, the same as in drawing
room cars. Although the service is so
superior and the time so quick, on no
train are there any extra charges. To
those who desire accommodations in the
drawing room or sleeping cars only the
regular additional charges are asked,
and on all OF the trains vestibuled day
coaches are run open to the public with
out any extra charges whatever The
dining car service attached to the prin-
cipal trains is in keeping with the
splendid character of the lines service
and the cuisine equal to the best hotels
OF the country. 1t is no wonder that the
Royal Blue Line has attained phenom-
email popularity and it has not attained
its position by any other reason than
that II deserved it. 1t is so incompara-
ply superior to any service ever inaugur-
ated between New York and Washing
ton that it would be surprising if the
public did not patronize it so literally;
certainly no one who wants the best
should take any other, and when it is
considered that for the finest service in
the world no additional charges of any
description are required, it should re-
ceive, as it does, the endorsement and
patronage of the public Christian

OF INTEREST TO IRA VELERS.
Worlds Fair via b. &c NJ. X. X


On Saturday, May 6. the Boston &
Maine railroad will inaugurate a series
of special trains Of elegant Pullman
vestibuled sleeping and dining cars be-
tween Boston and Chicago, in both
directions. The problem of transporta-
ton to and from the exposition has as
sumed such proportions that no doubt is
entertained it will severely tax the
facilities of all transportation companies.
Regular trains will inevitably be crowd
ed, and it is now apparent that people
desiring to go must take advantage of
such facilities as are available at the
earliest possible moment. With these
conditions in mind the Boston & Maine
railroad has made arrangements for the
elegant special trains mentioned above,
and patrons of the road will do well to
avail themselves at once of the advan-
tages offered. The number OF passengers
in each train will be limited, each pas
senger being entitled to double berth
in each direction. Meals will be served
in the dining cars at regular hours, with
as liberal a menu as will be found in the
best hotels. Trains will arrive at and
depart from the Raymond & Whitcomb
special station in Chicago only few
blocks distant from the exposition
grounds, and in the immediate vicinity
of many hotels. Each party will be
cared for EN- route by an experienced
special conductor A reasonable rate
will be named for tickets covering all the
above accommodations.
Luxury of Modern Railway Travel.
A recent trip over the Royal Blue Line,
New York to Washington and return,
impressed the writer most strongly as to
the wonderful possibilities regarding
speed and luxury in railway travel in
America. Having been in nearly every
state in the Union and over Large. part
of Europe, we are prepared to feel our

HORRIBLE TREATMENT.

Louis A. Paradyce, who has re-
Gently arrived from China, tells a
story Of horrible treatment in
Siberian prisons.
He was a sailor on the sealing
schooner Mary II. Thomas, and with
another sailor named Wilson went
ashore on the coast of Kamschatka
to fill water casks. a hurricane
drove the schooner off and the men
were left ashore. They had no
provisions and Travelled inland to a
camp OF Russian soldiers where they
were seized and accused of being
spies. They were sent to CaraSock
convict station.
Paradyce tells of horrible cruelty
inflicted on the prisoners there. AL
though Wilson and himself were
roughly treated they were not
flogged as other prisoners were.
There were about 5000 convicts at
the station and every Wednesday
those who had disobeyed rules dur
ing the week were given fifty lashes
with the knOut. A woman about to
become a mother was knouted and
three hours later gave birth to a
dead child.
OF 6000 conyicts in camp 1900
wore a ball and chain. Many men
were too feeble to walk and were
dragged along by their companions.
Soldiers would prod them with
bayonets to make them move more
quickly. The convictS were fed with
black bread and raw salt meat.
Finally Paradyce and Wilson were
taken to Vladivostock, whence they
were sent to the Kara gold fields, a
fifteen days Journey. They suffered
frightlully from hunger and fatigue,
Wilson gave out and had to be
carried in wagon.
The United States ship Marion
arrived at Vladivostock and the
officers were informed by merchant
named Smith of Paradyce's and
Wilson's fate. The commander of
the Marion demanded that the
prisoners be given up and after con-
siderable delay this was done. They
were taken to Shanghai on the
Marion and placed in a hospital. AS
soon as Paradyce was able to travel
he was sent to Hong Kong on the
Gaelic and thence came here.
