Best Dining Car Service III the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. It's equipment
IS thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent. dining
cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and you can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

Captain f. H. Shirley of Philadel-
phia, once OF the United States navy,
who has spent many years on oyster
boats, wants some one to back him in
trip from Philadelphia to San Fran
cisco in a rowboat. He says he will
make the journey in boat of his own
designing and building, which he calls
Philadelphia sneakboX He would
row along the coast, depending for
subsistence mainly on what he could
procure with gun and fishing tackle
The distance would be over $4,000
miles, and he thinks he could cover it
in thirteen months, and at cost of
not over $3.50.

One of the Largest Hosr.itals.

The Imperial and Royal General
hospital of Vienna, founded by the
emperor in commemoratiou of the fact
that his life was saved from assassina-
ton, is one of the largest hospitals in
the world. It admits patients from
all nations and every form of disease
is treated. Every patient who enters
this hospital agrees that in case of
death his body becomes its property,
and so large is the number of autop-
sizes that one still young professor has
witnessed more than 10000. There
are nearly 1000 occupants of this inn

HE AVENLY BLUE.
A Prosaic Observer Knocks All the
Color Out of 1t.


Color Out of 1t.
81 do not care to dispel pleasing
illusions for any one" says Mervin
Page, but sometimes the fact is of
decided interest. | wonder if the facts
about the ethereal blue were generally
known, would it seem less ethereal or
give less joy to the poetic nature to
look at? People imagine that all the
beyond is light and that they might
rise away from the earth up and ever
up; always surrounded and overhung
by the gorgeous canopy of blue, which
fills the dullest nature with supreme
satisfaction of a bright, sunny morning.
The blue of heaven has been the theme
of poetic literature ever since the
world began or shepherds tended sheep
on the hillsides
las matter of fact, the blue we see
is only an inch deep when compared
with the earth. 1t is not of the sky or
infinite space, but of the air we breath
that is blue. A small portion of air is
colorless, but when we look out
through fortyfive miles of it. we have
the heavenly blue which is its distinct
color. Any one who has assembled five
miles above the earth's surface and
has looked heavenward remembers
that the sky appears of a dark inky
hue, and the higher one might go the
blacker would become the surround
ing space, until utter darkness would
envelop one at the height of three
hundred miles up. This darkness re-
suits from the lack of reflection and
dispersion of light At the height
even of five miles one may look down
and observe that the blue is below and
not above, as at the bottom. Still the
blue is just as beautiful as before, and
since we live under it we may well
afford to enjoy it."

CURRENT COMMENT,

Almy was hanged Tuesday. He ought
to have been put out of the way months
ago, and it is a pity that some decent man
did not put bullet through him that
day in the Wardens' barn. Short shrift
to such fellows should be the motto.
1t is probable that the enemies of the
national bank system in the West will
not fail to make the most of the fact that
the two broken banks of Chicago, the
Columbia and the Chemical, with their
branches, belong to this system. But
these are exceptions only to the general
good condition of the national banks.
They have fallen because they have vi0-
lated the principles of the national bank
system, as well as every other
sound method of finance Philadelphia

THE WlNoHAM COUNTY PLAN.

That aggregation, composed for the
most part of political futilities, known
as the Democracy of Vermont, is in a
ferment because of the adoption by the
Windham county wing of it OF a new
plan of filling postmasterships. That
scheme Is, in brief, to submit the choice
to the patrons of the office, all of whom
are asked to vote, provided only that
they vote for some one of the Demo-
cratic candidates for the place.
1t looks from this distance like a shlrk-
Ing of responsibility by the party. If it
or its leaders cannot choose the best of
the candidates for these offices, they
should go out of business and allow the
other party to distribute their spoils for
them. Republicans ought not to permit
themselves to be made the instruments
of any such maneuverings. They should
insist that the Democrats of their respec-
tive towns settle their own quarrels aud
take the consequences.

TRAFFIC RESUMED.

The new trestle over the river here
was completed by the railroad people on
Sunday, and trains were able to pass
over 1t that night. 1t was built to re.
place the trestle put In week before, a
part of which went down on Thursday
morning of last week, carrying with it a
Cotton locomotive and freight car.
The last trestle is likely to stand till
the permanent iron bridge which the
company intend to build IS completed.
Work upon the trestle was begun on Fri
day. Gangs of men were here from
both st. Albans and Rutland. Most OF
the day Thursday was consumed in get
ting the locomotive out of the way. 1t fell
right where it was not wanted. By dint
of much hard work it was moved some
II feet, far enough, at any rate, so that II
did not interfere with the driving of
piles. This time the piles were driven.
instead of being merely SET on the bot
tom of the stream, as they were in the
first place. The job was done through
out in more careful manner, the officials
of the company having evidently reached
the conclusion that the stream was one
not to be fooled with, especially in high
water.
The night trains north and south were
discontinued Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights. 1t was found very un-
comfortable carrying by from these
trains. Freight traffic was suspended
entirely from Thursday morning till
Sunday evening. Local merchants who
had goods on the way were bothered
considerably by not getting them
promptly.
Sunday afternoon something was ac-
cOmplished in the direction of clearing
the stream below the trestle of the
wrecked coal cars, several of which were
hauled to the shore. The locomotive and
Its tender are still at the bottom of the
river, just above the trestle, where the
water is some 20 feet in depth. Nothing
is likely to be done toward raising them
till the water goes down. 1t has fallen
a foot or more during the week.
The most serious feature of the acci-
dent to residents OF the vicinity is the
flood 1t caused on the low lands along
the river from here south. In spite of
all efforts put forth by the railroad men,
brush, grass and other refuse collected
against the upper side of the trestle, set
ting the water back for miles. Owners
of intervale land above here have not
suffered so much from high water for
years. Hundreds of acres, much of it

excursion two weeks ago have arrived
home. All of them advise their readers
to wait II month or six weeks before
going. They say the buildings are in
complete, as are many of the exhibits.
The news from the fair is that the man
asement is hard up for cash, the average
receipts since the opening having been
but $1,000 a day, while the daily ex-
penses are $4,000. The workmen and
guards are uneasy because they aren't
paid. The local managers have voted
to open the fair on Sundays, but their
action has not been approved by the
government officials. 1t is, however,
doubtful whether the latter can prevent
Sunday opening if they wish so to do.

Two weak Chicago banks went to the
.wall the other day, and one of them car
Iried down dozen or more country in
|stitutions which had been run in con-
,nection with it. These failures natural
Ply created some alarm, but the country
|has recovered from that. The gold in
the treasury is once more up to the linn
it, and, on the whole, the business situa-
tion has decidedly improved. There is,
however, something of a stagnation in
manufactures, growing out of the un-
certainty respecting the tariff, causing a
falling-off in the demand for raw neteri-
bis and to some extent for labor.
