any person who is not strictly tenn perate. The Chicago & Alton de- clares that any employe who is known to use intoxicating liquors or frequent gambling places, either on or off duty, twill be promptly and permanently discharged. The Baltimore & Ohio road "does not retain incorporate men in it's en- ploy. Tke effect of the rule has been very noticeable, and the result has been a higher class of men in the train service than ever before." On the Illinois Central road "no person addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors shall be employed or contin- ued in the service of the company" The Chicago < Eastern Illinois road prohibits the use of all intoxicating liquors at all times, and the viola tion of the rule is disehargeable of fense. The Erie road inquiries into the habits of all applicants for en- ployment, and no one who is not strictly temperate is hired. The Chesapeake SS Ohio road looks after the general conduct of it's employees while on duty, and does not allow them to frequent saloons. For the benefit of the men the road has es- tablished several Young Mems Christian Association buildings at terminal points. "The most string ent rules possible to adopt are in force on the Baltimore X Ohio Southwestern road as to the use of intoxicating liquors by employees. ;" The Chicago, Lake Shore < Eastern road "weeds out of it's service all those whom it finds indulging in in- toxicants at any time" The use of intoxicants is a sufficient cause for dismissal from the service of the Chicago, Rock Island < Pacific road. The Lehigh Valley road not only prohibits the use of intoxicating liquors by employees while on duty, but tobacco on passenger trains and at stations, and smoking in or about shops. The Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul road not only pro- hibits the use of intoxicants while on duty, but will not re-employ a man dismissed for intoxication. The Compania Limitada del Ferrocarril Central Mexicano road does not tol- crate drinking while on duty or ire quenting saloons,' and gives pref erence ito those who do not drink at all.,
 The combined railroads arc among the most powerful practical prohib- ition organiza ation in existance. Some employees doubtless regard the rules against intoxicants as offensive sumptuary legislation, but the millions who travel on trains are we'll pleased with the existance and rigid enforcement of the rules.- Chicago Record.

Railroads ahd Prohibition.

Whatever may be said of the un- willingness or inability of municipal and State officials to enforce laws prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors, the railroads of America ap- pear to be of one mind as to the en- forcement of their prohibitory rules. The Northwestern Christian Advo- cate of this city has made inquiries of the officials of leading representa- tive railroads as to their rules con- corning tine use of intoxicating liquors by employees, and tbe result is assuring to travellers that so far as possible to guard against danger from drunken trainmen the railroads do so.
 Reports are presented from nine teen roads. In every case drinking while on duty is absolutely prohib- ited, and with the majority of roads it is clearly intimated that employees who wish to retain their positions must refrain from use of intoxicants when off of duty as well.
