The Fight For Suburban Passenger
Traffic.

TrafnCs
We learn from the Baltimore Sun that
the Baltimore & Ohio road out of Balti-
more and Washington, has been so har-
rassed by competition at the hands OF
electric roads that horizontal reduction
in all Communication rates of 25 per cent.
has been made. Another device of the
road to gain suburban traffic was inaug-
uraved to prevent debarkation of subur-
ban passengers at points where the cleo
trio roads could furnish service. The
plan adopted is to put on through local
trains that will not stop at points where
connection is made with electric roads.
These developments indicate that the
steam roads will soon be hard pressed for
suburban travel in large cities. They
have always been unpopular for several
reasons: The stations are generally more
or less remote from centers of population
and business; the trains. do not run often
enough, frequent consultation of time
tables being necessary; and when the
trains do run, the cars are full Eof smoke
and dust. The electric lines do away
with the smoke, pick up their passengers
in the heart of the city, run at frequent
intervals and convey passengers at given
distance for less money than their steam
competitors These are all the important
points, and show that the fight is not be-
tween equally equipped contestants The
advantages are all on the side of the mod
ern method, and the next few years will
probably see the steam roads practically
driven out of the suburban traffic except
where special conditions prevent competi-
tion.

The Princess Collona, "Bonanza"
Mackey's daughter, having selected an
impecunious gambler from among the
foreign nobility and been married long
enough to have two children, is now glad
to pay the prince $4,000 year for the
privilege of being permanently relieved of
his society without giving up the children.

her happiness for q title.

swindling the Public in stocks.

One of the greatest frauds in this coun-
try is the practice habitually resorted to
by "insiders" Of such concerns as the
Whisky Trust, the Cordage Trust, Chi
cago Gas, etc., to unload, on the strength
of information possessed by them alone,
Improbable stocks upon a deluded pub
lie.
The hundreds of insiders In touch with
each of these big trust concerns have
many facts In their possession that are
denied the general public. Hence 1t Is
not much of trick on their part to hood
wink that large section OF the public
which imagines a stock Is honest because
1t is listed on the stock exchange.
We notice the statement that the great
est amount of business recently done on
the New York Stock Exchange has been
In securities Of trusts and industrial COM
panies, many of which do not make pub
lie any facts by which the public can
Judge their condition. Dividends have
been paid when the corporations declaring
them have not only been losing MOI ey
steadily but were bankrupt.
The buying public In the matter of all
kind of industrial stocks, except those
few, perhaps, where there are published
regular and accurate reports of the COM
pany's or corporations condition, are
simply playing game in which the OPP
position enjoy the privilege Of marked
cards. Those who saw the ruin which
recently followed the artificial fiuctua-
tions of Cordage Trust and Whisky Trust
stocks should recognize the soundness OF
this Information, and stay out Of any such
a gambling game as that set up by the

Push Your Home.

A friend, glancing at the caption of
this article, says it is not elegant TO say
push" but that we ought to have
said & boom your town.
We respectfully dissent from the sug-
gestion. We do not believe in boom
ing towns, but we are decidedly in
favor Of pushing ahead your home
whether it be in the city, town or
country.
A man who can't afford to speak
well of the place he lives in. and do
what he can to advance it, ought to
move away and keep moving until his
surroundings suit his nature.
We have recently heard of men who
speak disparagingly of the community
in which they live. Well, those people
ought to move. This is free country.
and if man does not like his surround
ings it is the privilege of that Individual
to so to more congenial cline and
bless with his presence some more
fortunate community.
If you don't like your home get up
and dust, and don't be concerned for
the broken hearts you leave behind.
Push your home. 1t is not expected
that the efforts Of one individual can
bring prosperity to a city, but if all
push together nothing can prevent it
from going forward.
Look at Atlanta. We remember
when there were not hundred houses
in the town. A good many years have
passed since then but in all these years
we have never seen an Atlanta man
who did not speak well Of his home.
But talk is not all. They work
together. They all push at tho same
time.
What is now being done in that city
i'll which every Southron should feel an
honorable pride? A great International
Exposition is soon to be held there
and they are getting ready for it.
Everybody is making contributions
The city government of Atlanta is
pushing forward improvements and has
borrowed 1900, 900 at the rate of 81 per
cent. Talk about money being tight :.
And so it is, but Atlanta s people stand
together and all push together, and as
consequence, she can get money on
the best possible terms.
Push for your Home, in everything
that can enrich and adorn a noble,
brave and generous people.-New

The Glee, Mandolin and Banjo Club
of the State University will give An
entertainment tonight at the Y. NJ.

occasion, and it is hoped that our citi-

appreciation of all things that pertain

audience.
The Glee Club is just now entering
upon its fifth season. During the past
four seasons tho Club has given con-
certs III all the large towns throughout
the State from Wilmington on the sea
coast to Asheville among the noun
tains of the West, and everywhere the
comments of the press have been most
complimentary, both as to the musical
excellence of their entertainments and
the gentlemanly condnct of the IS boys
who compose the Club.
This year they have added new
feature in the combined Mandolin and
Banjo Club, the concert heretofore
being entirely vocal, and with this
addition the Club can hardly be sur
passed, as musical organization. by
any collegiate club in the Union. The
writer has heard and seen and knows
whereof he speaks.

to give them rousing welc ONE.
