The d. and o. in connection with the
Continental Line and Central States Dis
patch fast freight lines has inaugurated
another fast freight schedule to the west
to be known as Train 95. 1t will be
made up at Baltimore and is put on es-
pecially to accommodate import business
by way of Locust Point, and at the same
time gives to eastern manufacturers and
wholesale dealers a rapid service to the
west. The running time of the train is
so arranged that it will make SO hours to
Chicago, 80 to Cincinnati, 80 to Cleve
land, "a to Columbus, lis to Dallas, Tex
as, so to Detroit, 90 to Duluth, Mimi, 81
to Indianapolis. Is to Kansas City. 70 to
Memphis, so to Louisville, IA to Milwau-
kee, SO to Minneapolis, 81 to Peoria, H.,
20 to Pittsburg, so to st. Louis. 81 to st.
Paul, 80 to sandusky. 23l to San Fran
cisco, Al to Toledo, and correspondingly
quick time 10 other western and southern
points. The freight department expects
to make 95 as popular and reliable train
as 81 which makes the run from New
York to Chicago and St. Louis 60 hours

I'd, ola ROAD Made Ne,v.

And now another joke is taken away
from the already heavily afflicted para
grapher and speciality artist. No more
can either ring the changes on that time
honored old minstrel joke about the man
who wanted to go to Chicago "the worst
way" and was directed to the B. & o..
station, for the work of Strengthening the
curves, which were at once the delight
and horror of all through passengers on
the picturesque B. & o." is about con-
cluded, and the trip through the noun
tains no longer reminds one of crossing
the English channel on particularly
rough day.
This will be welcome news to the gen.
eral public and to B. C o. enthusiastic
people who would not take any other
route to their destinations if the B. & o.
would possibly serve them. These are
mostly passionate admirers of natural
scenery, to whom the gigantic panorama
along the B. & o. route can never be-
come stale. Indeed, why should it, when
it is never twice the same? Scenery on a
scale of such immensity is like the ocean
iu its susceptibility to change. Not only
with the seasons, but with the days, does
its beauty vary. And even through a
summer day it is never the same scene an
hour at a time Like kaleidoscope,
which the slightest alteration in position
occasions totally new view, so the for
ests and the mountains along this scenic
route assume wholly new appearances
with every passing cloud and every
weather condition.
Now that the exaggerated bug bear OF
the B. & o. curves has been finally dis
posed of, and its road beds made second
to none, the excellence of its equipment
and the peculiarly "make-yourself-com
fortable-we'Il-do- everything :
can-for.you" atmosphere which sur
rounds the traveller the instant he steps
aboard through train on this road will
shortly double and treble the number OF
| B. & o. enthusiasts, ia whom the journey
over mountains is less journey than q
pleasure.-7he Pitts6urg Star, June 5, '97

THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. Bmt many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely.
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot, seriously interfcres with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going TO the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares and duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay

islature was exhausted and there
was no way to feed the new ap-
Iplicants should they be admitted.
He said that something should be
done in the matter and moved
that the home should be a special
subject for discussion at $50
O'Clock at the morning session to
follow. Mr.. Booth stated that
the superintendent of the home
would be here tomorrow morning.
Major Sayers stated that there
were a great many veterans in
the State who were. not members
of a camp and would not join and
pay the paltry dues expected of
members. He said that in his
town there are some of these.
He was of the opinion that all
veterans should be in line and
become members of some camp.
Then, he said, it could be known
who were and who were not vet
Grams. He stated that some of
these men who would not join
the camps had been making ap-
plication for attendance in the
home.
