The Nestor of Fast Passenger service.

The New York Central System was the NestoR
of fast passenger service in the United States.
Away back in 1878 that roa0 was running Fly
ers." The white Mail'' was put on In 1876
and ran between New York and Chicago In
nearly as fast time as is now made between
these cities. This train, however, did not carry
passengers, though there was. even at that
time. a fast passenger service in operation over
these roads. The train was called the Light
ming Express" and made the trip from New
York to Chicago in about twenty-six hours
The ''White Mail, as 1t was called, was the adj
miration Of the whole country -Four snow
white mail cars made up the train and the farm
ers used to stop work when it passed, Indeed
there was rumor to the effect that this train
only hit in high places. Soon after this the New
York and Chicago Limited was put on. This
was the first allsleeper train ever run. and
some doubt as to patronage was INDUCED by
the officials. But this question settled itself
The train paid from the beginning, and 1t was
soon followed by other fast sllsleeper trains
But the other roads have always waited on the
Central and we owe the comfortable train ser
vice throughout the county TO the enterprise
and pluck of the New York Central system

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.

Sunday, Oct. 30. there were two Young
Peoples Christian Unions organized in
Illinois, one at st. Paul's church, Chi
cago and the other at LAGRANGE. Rev.
Harry L. Garfield, National Secretary,
assisted in the organization OF the one at
st. Paul's church. There were ten
young people who expressed their inten-
ton to uphold the Union and work for
it's best interests and they hope by the
first of January to have twenty five
members. AS they have not fully de-
cided what line of work they intend to
do, we can give no definite report, but
they are doing very we'll indeed
Four delegates from the Church of the
Redeemer and four from Oak Park went
to La Grange on the above date with the
intention of helping the young people
there to form Union. What they need
now is one or two enthusiastic workers
and we hope before long to have them
fully organized.
We may rejoice in having two new
Unions in one day, but at the same time
the fact confronts us that some of the
unions seem to have lost nearly all their
interest. Steps are already being taken
however,to give the sethe help they lack
