sition will be sbmitted to
him by Second Vice President
King of the Baltimore and Ohio,

Messrs GIL and King have just re-
turned from a trip through the Virginia

sire is shown by the people to have the

posed extension.
BY reaching Roanoke and having close

tory, with the possibility of close rela-
tions with the Norfolk and Western at

Interesting Autographs.

To scratch ones name on n window

folks and one in which it seems that the
lignitaries of the earth can find amuse-

railway carriage devoted to the exclusive
use of the king of Denmark and his guests
Is perhaps as curious collection of these
autographs as can anywhere be found.
Every one Of royal blood who travels in
this car is expected to scratch his name
with diamond, and in consequence the
glass is scored with the sign manuals,
most of them nearly undecipherable, of
the majority of the princes and princesses
Of Europe as well as many crowned heads.
Ceremony is entirely laid aside in this
stately fooling, and the great ones are
bound to sign their pet or family nick
name. Consequently here may be seen the
signatures: "Nicky," the present emperor
of Russia; "Sacha," the late emperor;
"Winny," princess of Germany; "Bertie-'
