Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, January bit

consent TO the granting Of license Tor the
sale of intoxicating liquors, the question
OF granting license must be submitted to
a vote of the people, the voters 10 lnclude
all persons, both male and female above
the age of twenty-one. This is a bill in
which the temperance people of the State
are especially interested. and 1t is under
stood that the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union will present petitions TO
the Legislature for the passage OF this
bill coming from all parts of the State.
Mr.. Collins will introduce this bill in
compliance with the request of his con-
stituents. He says. however. that the
privilege of allowing women TO vote on
this question or any other is not in ac-
cordance with the constitution, and he
may erase that provision allowing women
TO vote from his bin before it is presented.
He will also introduce a bill to prevent
the spread of contagious diseases among
domestic animals. Also a bill to provide
for the printing in book form Of the
records of the West Virginia soldiers in
the war of the rebellion. now in the office

COST OF A TRAIN;
The Expense and Profits Of Travel on
English Rallwnv I,ines


How my people who travel in
trains ever think of the cost of run
ming them? It will probably surprise
most people who have travelled from
London to Edinburgh to know that
every mile of the journey costs the
railway company over half a crown,
says the London Tit-Bits. The cost
OF the whole journey from the English
to the Scotch capital is ESQ. The av-
erage cost of running a train in Eng
land is shillings pence a mile, so
that, the fare being reckoned at / pen
ny per mile, train with less than
tElrty-cne passengers for each mile is
run at loss. There are few trains,
however, that do not carry more than
this number of passengers. Many Of
them carry the number doubled many
times over. 1t is necessary frequently
to run trains that do not pay-usually
In thinly inhabited country districts
but for every train run at loss prob
ably 100 are run at an enormous prof.
it. Take, for instance, the journey
from London to Edinburgh, which
costs the railway company ESQ., The
average number of Through" passen-
gers in these trains is probably sixty,
in which case the total fares would
be nearly f100-a clear gain of nearly
ESQ. When it is remembered these
trains run several times a day and
every day in the year it will be I'M
derstood what an enormous revenue a
single line yields in the course Of
twelve months. Supposing the average
number of passengers to be sixty, the
midnight train from London to Edin-
burgh yields over 100000 for dividend
in a year! The longest railway jour-
ney In the United Kingdom would
probably be from Penzance, in Corn
wall, to Thurso, in the north of Scot
land, distance of over 1000 miles. A
train running between these two places
would exhaust an ordinary clerks SAL
airy for whole year, the cost being no
less than f13S.

MOOSE TOWED THE BOAT.
1t Was Fun for While, but the Pas
sengers Tired Of It.

1t Was Fun for q While, but the Pas
sengers Tired of 1t.
Up on Sebec lake in Maine they have
steamboats, and lots of other things.
The latest is moose which can do a
towing business. Last Saturday, while
the good steamer Marion was passing
up through the narrows in Sebec Lake,
big bull moose was sighted swimming
toward the craft to cross her bow. He
had bone in his teeth, and was leav-
ing wake like the cruiser Columbia
the time she came up Penobscot Bay
into Castine Harbor last summer, says
the Bangor Commercial. Capt. Hersey
saw the bull in good time, and he got
cut his biggest hawser and put on a
little more steam to bring the boat
alongside the moose. When he got
into comfortable distance he let 20
the hawser like a lasso, and the rope
settled over the head of the big fellow
and caught him fast. The Marion is a
sturdy little craft, but she wasn't built
for moose. The bull swan straight on
for while, towing the boat after him,
and playing horse generally with
everything within reach. Just in the
height of the fun he gave sudden turn
10 starboard, put straight about, and,
with full speed on in both engines, let
himself out for shore, the steamer
dragging along behind. All the passen-
gers offered free advice as to how to
get the moOsa 0uf into +ho lo,,o ,~.;.
put meanwhile the rocks of the shore
were getting nearer. Finally Capt.
Hersey cast of his line and let the
moose get ashore, up which he fled
and disappeared in the forest with the
speed of the Boston and Albany's fast
est express. It takes more than a
steamboat to stop the progress of a
healthy Maine moose. Springfield Re-
publican.
