DELAYED BY MAINE GOOD-BYs
Train Conductors Say It Is Difficult to Run Trains on Time There.

Railroad men give Maine credit for being the hardest state to keep trains on time, owing to the leisurely way in which people board the cars. s'In other states,'' remarked a conductor the other day, eff train is sched- uled to start at 10:05 it means 10:05, and folks who prolong their good-bys till 1906 get left The folks are edu- cated LID to it there and never think of protesting.
 "But in Maine the women wait till we call All aboard and then start on a round of kisses and 'good-bys,' be sure to write come again. such a good visit etc., till the poor train man is nearly distracted, and then when they finally get themselves set tied in the seat and the car has start ed, they look at their watches and remark: Ten minutes late; twill be twenty by the time we get there. These Maine trains are so slow"
 But yet the railway men are oblig- ing, and stand this sort of thing with remarkable patience; and though they sometimes grumble, yet out of the kindness of their hearts, hesitate to adopt the Massachusetts promptness. Sometimes they do even more for the delinquents, as was the case at Ken nebunk the other day, the story of which affair is now going the rounds.
 young, newly married couple there reached the railroad station in plenty of time, but just as the train pulled into the station the bride made upher mind that it would be the proper thing to go upon a mission among her friends, both ladies and gentlemen present She had kissed about half of the crowd when the train started. The groom jumped upon the train, but the poor bride was left. A little way out of the station, the distracted groom told the conduc tor of his predicament and the official promptly stopped the train and 1ad it backed to the station, where the sorrowing bride was taken aboard Bangor Commercial

THE GRAND CANON.

The Grand Canon Stage company oJ Flagstaff is now prepared to handle any number of passengers for the Grand Canon. Hundreds of visitors will no doubt make this trip this sum- mer. For all visitors who are now jn Arizona, we can only say that to return home without visiting this grandest of all pieces of Gods handiwork would be an act that they would always regret. The scenery cannot be surpassed in any part Of the world-grand, sublime. overlapping and well worth a trip across the continent to visit. Do not miss it.
 Parties holding return tickets easl with stop-over privileges en route should by all means visit the Grand Canon from Flagstaff, upon their re- turn.

It takes nerve and muscle to get on board q
train OF the City Hall and the Ninth street sta-
lions Of tho Third avenue elevated railroad
every afternoon between half past a o'clock and
half past @ o'clock. One OF these days. when the
pushing, eager crowd that jams the uptown
platform Of tho Ninth street station and the
entire City Hall platform shoves some OF it's
members of the platform under an incoming
locomotive, there will be a great outcry
over tho thing, and the condition OF
affairs during the rush will be changed.
