Luxurious Travelling.

The climax of comfortable and luxuri-
GUS travelling is apparently reached by
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway. Ease and comfort go with the
traveller making a trip from Chicago to st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, or Sioux City
oyer this road. Their superb electric
lighted vestibuled trains leaving Chicago
for these points early every evening, are
great favontes nothing being left undone
by the officials or employees to ensure a
most enjoyable trip. Excellent dining
service is maintained, and buffet library
cars are attached to the train, where cur
rent periodicals may be perused while
smoking cigar with all the pleasure of
ones own den" at home. Electric lights
placed in every berth enable the traveller
to spend his wakeful hours after retiring
over his favorite novel or other reading
matter Private compartment cars are
run between Chicago, st. Paul and Min
neapolis. In fact, every thing that goes
to ensure comfort and security is pro-
vided. The trip from Chicago to any of
the above named cities requires but a
nights run, bringing one at the desti-
nation ready for breakfast and business
in the morning. All coupon ticket agents
have tickets on sale Uia Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul Railway, or call on or

Half Rates and Fast Trains to Chicago Fair
via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The popular excursions to Chicago
which are being run by the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad seem to furnish exactly what
the people want. The first two trains
were we'll patronized, and as the vacation
season is now well advanced the remain
ing excursions will undoubtedly attract
much larger number of passengers
A decided improvement in the train
schedule, which accelerates it so as to
deliver the passengers in Chicago at an
early hour the following afternoon, places
the special train almost on an equality
in the matter of speed with the best ex-
press trains.
The special trains are composed of the
standard coaches for which the Penn
sylvania Railroad is famous Only one
night is passed on the road, and the
arrival in Chicago is so timed as to give
abundant opportunity for engaging quar-
tiers before nightfall.
The dates of the next excursions are
August ~ and 16. The special train will
leave New York at 9, A. NJ, Jersey City,
9.13, Philadelphia, 1130, Frazer, 1909,
Downingtown, 1922, Parkesburg 1241,
Lancaster, 1.25, Conewago, 1.57, Harris
burg, 3, P NJ, arriving in Chicago early
the next afternoon. The excursion rate,
good only on the special train, and valid
for return within ten days, is 500 from
New York, S18.25 from Philadelphia, and
proportionately low from other stations.
No one should fail to visit the Fair with
such facilities at hand.

From the Moorestown Republican
The slowness of Mt. Holly is proverbial,
and it is no wonder the fremen of that
place are kicking in the vigorous manner
in which we have heard some of them.
The appropriations made to the fire
companies is niggardly, to say the least,
considering the size of the town. If the
firemen want an electric fire alarm sys-
tenn as badly as they say they do, we fear
they will have to get it from the same
source that they got their otherwise COM
plete fire-fighting outfit; that is, 60 down
into their own individual pockets for the
requisite amount.

According to decision of the Supreme
Court bicycles have TO more right on
sidewalks than horses and wagons This
is point that bicycle riders do not APP
pear to understand. Sidewalks are for
the exclusive use of pedestrians, but it
is no unusal occurrence in Mount Holly,
if not elsewhere, to see rider who
proceeds with an air of assurance that
he has the right of way, and who takes
it as an affront If the warning ring of his
bell is not needed. While many of these
trespassers are of mature age, the ma
jority are boys, the parents of whom
should look after them. 1t is much
easier to give a word of advice than to
pay damages for injuries inflicted by
thoughtless or needless bicycle riders.
The police should also be instructed to
see that the bicycles are kept from the
pavements.

One of the most interesting and re,
lnarkable of the recently published books
is "Alaskana, or the Legends of Alaska,
by Professor Bushrod W. James, NJ d.,

verse, and are doubly interesting, being
stories and descriptions of a compar-
atively unknown, but very attractive
people and country, and being told by
a person gifted with the keen insight
into character, the appreciatiye eye for
Natures beauties, and the brilliant men

well as the shop keepers who tolerate the
gathering of noisy boys in front of theil
premises, lettering quiet people from 60
ing into the places of business because
of the disorderly crowd which throngS
the passages. The boy nuisance on the
streets ought to be abated.

The removal of the special policeman
who guarded the neighborhood of King
and Washington streets is to be regretted,
although the condition of the treasury
made it necessary. The actions of the
loungers in that section are very annoy

officer was on duty had very salutary
effect. 1t is to be hoped the policeman
may soon be returned to his position.
