old fashioned kind.
Another fact concerning the corridor
trains is typical of the English char
acter. Newsboys are not carried on
them. The English railway newsboy is
still kept solely to the platforms at the
railway stations And he is likely to be
kept there, for English people would
vote it nuisance too great to be borne
to be pestered to buy books and confec-
tione1y they do not want. The newsboy
who travels with the train has few
friends among Englishmen who have
been in America. People grumble at
the prices charged by the monopolists
who control all the railway news and
bookstalls in this country. But it is
often put to the credit Of the monopo-
lists that their newsboys are always at
hand, but never make themselves
nuisance, nor worry passengers who do
not want the books they are vending.
One Of the newest innovations from
America in the English railway service
concerns mileage books These are now
In use on the Northeastern railway.
They are being tried in q tentative
fashion, and SO far are issued only to
first class travellers. The reductions in
fare are quite considerable, and the con-
ditions prescribed by the company are
easy. IF the experiment works satisfac-
torily, it will soon be extended to third
class passengers on the Northeastern,
and, once we'll established on one large
trunk line, the system will soon become
general. London Letter.

Tho report Of the committee upon the

most significant and gratifying acts that

upon all the guilty without fear or

two Judges and one clerk, who were care
