gift FOR A KING. !"


A royal irain, believe me, Shake
speare makes one of his characters ex
claim in King Henry VIII. And to ont
who looks for the first time upon the
sumptuons glories of a Royal Blue Line
train the idea of regality must instinct
lively suggest itself. Indeed, it may well
be questioned whether any Of the poten-
tates of the Old World enjoy such superb
facilities Of travel as those which are at
the service of the uncrowned kings of un-
monarchical America, whose every citi-
zen is sovereign.
Asan example of the pitch ofperfection
to which the science of transportation n
has attainra ms e6dhtFy, take Che
famous route of travel between New
York, Philadelphia and Washington,
known as the Royal Blue Line. 1t has
been termed the highest type Of the fin
de steele railroad. But it is more-it
reaches decade or two into the pos
sibilties of the next century, a prophecy,
SO to speak, turned into an actuality
and courier that moves far in advance
Of the main body Of railway progress.
To particularize, the Royal Blue Line
connects Philadelphia with New York
and New England to the eastward, and
with Baltimore and Washington to the
Southward, with connections reaching
Florida, New Orleans, and the great en-
pire of the Southwest. 1t is composed of
portions of the Central R. R. of New
Jersey, the Philadelphia & Reading and
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroads. As the
Reading Railroad was thefrst to estab-
lish two o-hour trains between New York
and Philadelphia, SO was this triple
alliance the pioneer in giving the public
f1ve-hour trains between the Metropolis
and the National Capitol. The trains
are notable tor their sumptuous elegance
and comfort. The fast time made on
the Royal Blue Line is a matter of wide
notorety, and lis continues to hold the only
properly authen ticated record for the
highest speed ever attained by any rail
way train in the world.
The trains from Philadelphia to New
York and to Washington comprise a
schedule ample in extent and admirably
adjusted as to time of departure, most
Of them connecting closely with trains
coming in over the various lines of the
Reading System from the eastern and
central portions of Pennsylvania. Ali
of these connections are made beneath
the roof of the magnificent Reading Ter
minal, the most beautiful, as well as one
of the most extensive railway stations
in the world. For the further ccnven-
ience of travellers, through tickets and
baggage checks to all important points
reached BY or via the Royal Blue Line
are supplied at--most of the Reading
Railroad stations throughout PennLl-,
vania and New Jersey.

Fire at Port Republic.

The residence of Wilbert H. Fenton
was totally destroyed by fire early Mon
day morning. The fire, slight at first,
was supposed to have been extipguished,
and Mr.. +. nton and his .@..iilIy s.gain re-
ti;s, 70 rest. A little later it was found
that the flames had broken out afresh
and were soon beyond control. The
family saved nothing but few personal
effects. The first news of the fire was
coupled with the rumor that the entire
family had been burned to death; but,
happily, the rum0r was not true. The
house was valued at $1,000, and insur-
ed for $500.
