Fast Trains and Fast Steamships.

The great railroad companies of this
country are preparing for faster trains
and the transatlantic steamship com
panies are building bigger and faster
steamships The impression is that the
railroad that has the fastest schedule be-
tween New York and Chicago this sum
mer will get that part of the travel to the
Columbian fair that is the most profita-
bic. As a general thing fast and ex-
pensive trains do not pay, but it is hoped
they will pay between New York and
Chicago.
The New York Central is about to run
trains between the two cities in nineteen
hours The distance is $50 miles.
The speed, therefore, Will. be a little
over fifty miles an hour, including stops.
The Pennsylvania road declares that if
the New York Central makes a 19-hour
schedule it will make one of eighteen
hours The distance between New York
and Chicago by the Pennsylvania road is
9l2 miles but it can easily cut Off eleven
miles between Trenton and PHILADELPHIA.
There is very heavy grade on the Penn
sylVania road in crossing the Allegheny
mountains and this Grade, in measure.
offsets the longer distance BY the Row
York Central route If the >lS-hour
schedule should be adopted by the Penn
sylvania Central its trains would have to
make seventy-tivc miles an hour ON some
parts of the route. This it cosld easily
do, however, hccaGso The roadbed is in
superb condition tor almost the whole
distance SO is that of the New York
Central, for that matter
In respect to steamships for the route
between New York and Liverpool the
effort is to build each new one So that il
will beat the record Of the last one. 1t is
expected that the Campania, that made
her first trip to New York last week, will
beat the City of Paris, City of New YORK,
Tuetonic and Majestic A steamship is
now being built for the White Star line,
to be called the Gigantic, that is expected
to make the distance between Sandy Hook
and Southampton in 100 hours That will
be several hours less than the Campania
can make it; and it is announced that the
International Steamship Line has ordered
three steamers from the Cramps, at Phil
adelphia, that are to be 800 tons larger
than the Campania and are to be much
swifter than that vessel. The limit of
steamships in size and speed does not APP

The MORNING News will begin the pub
location of a new story on Sunday, May
IA, by Mrs. Baseley, entitled Her
Fathers Idol" 1t is a sensational do
nestle novel of the most enthralling char
acter. Mrs. Baseley has the faculty of at
once interesting her readers in her char
acters. They are life-like, human-often
weak and passiOnate-but yet they secure
sympathy and arouse lively feelings in the
breasts of those who are following their
fortunes.
The interest of the reader in the fore
going story will be chiefly concentrated
upon Nelly Henstock the heroine, and a
consummate villain, named Mark Boyd,
The young lady is is years of age, and is
the only daughter of DR. Henstock. The
villain of the piece is an idle dandifed
scamp, the son of rival practitioner
From first to last the proceedings of Mark
Boyd are of an extraordinary char
acter He shoots n rival from a spirit
OF jealousy. He misleads the heroine.
approprlates her correspondence; she is
watched by spa nihilist, who secretly
cherishes a scheme of revenge against
Mark. Nelly, cast off by her father, as
she wrOngfully supposes, and threatened
BY Mark, consents to marriage Subse-
qaently she discovers the imposture that
has been carried on, and after a series of
exciting adventures, aided by other per-
sons who have been deceived by Mark
Boyd she is restored to home and friends
The story is of a decidedly moral tone
throughout and the crimes which are de-
scribed hold the perpetrators up to
universal execration. One remarkably
powerful chapter tells of the heroine's
narrow escape from death. Whilst i'll she
Is given sleeping draught Her keepers
thrust her into coffin while still alive,
and attempt to bury her in a neighboring
shrubbery. This story will also appear
IN the WEEKLY News.

A Woman's Ruse.

At length a realization of the truth forced

The board of control of state dispen-
saries under the new liquor law of South
Carolina has construed the law in a
peculiar manner. The board has an
nounced that it will sell alcohol to drug
gists by the barrel, claw or no law"
Nominally this determination was
reached in the interest of poor people who
have to buy medicines. The sale of alco-
hol to druggists in such small quantities
as the law says whisky shall only be sold
might result in advancing the price of
medicines
But the question arises, what has the
board of control to do with alcohol, any
wayl The act says nothing of the sale of
alcohol. The title of the act declares the
purpose of the law to be "to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage within this state
except as hereafter permitted" The en-
acting clause specifics by saying that the
manufacture, sale, etc, ''of any spirituous,
malt, vinous,. fermented or other intoxi-
eating liquors, or any compound, or MKT
ure thereof, by whatever name called.
which will produce intoxication, shall be
regulated and conducted as provided in
this act"
Alcohol is not an Intoxicating liuuorsoId
las beverage" 1t is not such liquor
as the law covers; it is not compound
or mixture of anything; it is a spirit. 1t
is used in the manufacture or compound
ing of drugs to as great extent, relatively.
as in the manufacture or compounding of
Intoxicating beverages. Then why not
treat alcohol as a drug? Alcohol will in

to dispense Alcohol enters into the manu-
facture of whisky and other Intoxicating
beverages, it is true. But fusil oil, red
Pepper, spirits of turpentine, Jamaica
singer and other stuff-almost anything
that will scorch throat, in fact-are also
used in the compromising of whisky. And
the Evans dispensary law never contem-
plated the sale of these things being
placed in the hands of the board of control.

Some republican newspapers and per-

create the impression that the Harrison

that the Cleveland administration has. in

tions and crowded the country to the

however, take no stock in Depaw's recent
demagogiCal utteranCe anent the Wall
street furry and the financial situa ton,
that the people wanted a change in the
government, and they got it" The Pitts
burg Dispatch says of the expression:
This has not even the poor virtue OF
sincerity. We cannot even in charity
suppose Mr.. Depew to be so ignorant as to
suppose that the men who, on
March 4, bad liberal surplus
Of assets over liabilities have lost
all the surplus on account of
things which MIR Cleveland has done or
omitted to do. The idea that it is the
business Of the government to intervene
TO save Wall street from the results Of its
own imitation and transportation is here
paraded in SO ridiculously extreme q light
as to suggest a charitable hope that Mr..
Depew, in this case, is the victim of the
interviewer,a and is innocent of this absurd
way of trying to make political capital"
There can be no objection to honest
criticism-and there has never yet been
an administration above criticism. But
it will not benefit the Republican partynor

situation and its causes for political effect.

to accommodate 80 passengers, for an
ordinary run of day and a night and re-
turn, are 100 sheets, 100 hand towels, 100
pillow slips, - cakes of soap, boxes of
matches, 2 broOms, whisk brooms, 6
combs and brushes. The Pullman fur
nishes $50 sheets, towels and pillow slips,
respectively. The sleeping cars vary in
their accommodations of passengers from
20 to 80. They have in addition to their
other equipments hammer, monkey
wrench, Ratchet. saw and crowbars, iron
and wooden buckets and feather busters.
The cost of equipment of car, including
tapestries, averages 81, 800. The cost of
the car proper averages 8l2, 900 more.
The conductors of the cars receive from
$50 to 500 a month, according to ability
and length of service. The companies
govern the conductors with set of rules
much like a civil service system. It is
supposed that those with the best records
get the best runs and the top-notch salary.
Each conductor buys his own uniform
The company provides an overcoat, which
it stores in summer. The porters' salaries
vary from $25 to SIS a month Very few
get S75. Like the conductors they buy
their own uniforms, and wear Overcoats
furnished by the company The con-
ductors are required to give a surety
bond in the sum of $500 The porters
give no BOND. On run of any length
whatever exceeding what is known as a
short or l2-hour trip, either the conductor
or porter must be awake and must get out
at every. regular stop ready to receive
passengers. On short runs neither is al
lowed to sleep. Porters on private cars
get S75 a month. A private car carries
three men-cook, pantryman and table
man. A parlor car carries one porter: a
a sleeper carries two; a dining car carries
from four to six walters, according to its
size. The walters get $50 a month The
dining cars also carry first, second and
third cook, each getting SO a month, and
a conductor getting 500 Il month. The
conductor acts as cashier
There is much rivalry and at the same
time, much difference in the selections of
the porters in regard to runs. Some pre-
fer to 90 to St. Louis. others to Chicago
others TO Pittsburg. others down south
Some do not like TO work on sleepcrs and
prefer short parlor car runs Others
strive TO get on private cars Many ask
for dining car places. One and all want
regular runs, that is, steady routes. They

fees. The sleeping car tip averages %
cents. Some runs fall short, many eX-
coed that. The porters on sleeping cars
count on $40 extra a month Some OF
them make $50 extra. A conductor
seldom makes extra money. Dining car
men make about S45 extra a month The
porters on the Washington runs hold
themselves above their fellows They
speak familiarity of prominent statesmen
and they know most of those of whom

The arrangements between the railroad
companies and the palace car companies
is ordinarily in the form of contract,
whereby the palace car company agrees
TO furnish the capital and the cars, while
the roads agree to haul them free, only
pocketing the regular railroad fare paid
by each passenger. In some instances
where palace car traffic is apt to be nghb
the railroad company pays a proper sum
TO the palace car company for running
cars on the road
A point on which the general travelling
public has long been uncertain of the at
tltude of the Wagner and Pullman com
papies is the responsibility for the rag
gage and effects of the passengers while
IN the palace cars. Officials of both the
Pullman and Wagner companies say tha1
they are not the custodians of the passen-
gers personal effects. They call ther
porters and conductors servants and not
agents, and state that they arc forbidden
to become custodians even for the time
being.
A palace car pays an enormous interest,"
when the amount of capital invested Is
considered. An official Of one Of the com
pa1ies says that the fare to Chicago is o.
and that a sleeper makes six round trips
month, carrying fifteen passengers eacn
way, and returns 30 per cent. clear prom
on the proceeds. II is a poor run where
the clear yearly proceeds are not 30 per
cent. of the cost of the car. And for the
next six months business will be quaa-
rupled. All the cars of both companies
have been engaged since six weeks ago.
