A New Railroad.

The Baltimore, Cincinnati and Western
Railway Company filed recently. in the
Superior Court of Baltimore City, and in
the Circuit Court of Baltimore county, at
Towson, mortgage for $4,000, 600, to
secure the payment of 1900 81, 900 per
cent. gold bonds.
Several years ago this railway company
was chartered in Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia and Ohio. and it stated
that its principal offices We're to be in Bal
timore. The charter of the road provides
for line running through Anne Arundel
Howard, Frederick and Montgomery
counties, Md; Loudoun, Clarke and
Frederick counties, in Virginia; Jefferson,
Hampshire, Hardy, Grant, Pendleton,
Randolph, Pocahontas, Webster, Braxron,
Nicholas, Clay. Kahawha, Putnam,
Cabeu and Mason counties, West Viz
giuia, and Gallila, Jackson, Pike, High
land, Brown, Clermont, Hamilton, Scioto
and Adams counties, Ohio.
Messrs. Cans & Haman are the local
counsel for the company. 1t is said that
400 miles of the road at the Cincinnati
end has already been built, but, because
of the business depression of the past few
years, no effort has been made to push
the project. 1t is now thought that the
bonds can be foated and plans made for
finishing the line.

The record for royal travel Is held by
Queen Victoria. Since 1912, the year the
queen first entered railway carriage, she
has Travelled something like 1000, 600
miles. This beats the Prince of Wales 10y

royal traveller, the Duke OF Cambridge,
by nearly 200, O0o miles.
Young Queen Wilhelmina of Holland Is
said to possess dramatic talent to n marked
degree. Recently at the Royal Residence

add that she was overwhelmed with ap-

such action as led to the arrest and con-
victiou of the woman, who was found
guilty of selling counterfeit tickets, and
sentenced to six months in the work

The man succeeded in making his es-
cape, but as he is known to the railroad
people and the police his arrest is only
a question of time
The b. & O. officials have taken every
precaution to prevent the sale or use OF

This is often tho best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot. seriously interferes 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.
