ROYAL BLUE TRAINS.

In September last, railway officials
from London were sent to America, to
get ideas on the railway passenger
service of the leading lines in this
country, and in their official report,
which was printed in the London
Times in January, it was stated that
the "Royal Blue Line" series of mag
nihcent passenger trains, running be-
tween New York, Philadelphia, Balt-
more and Washington, lead the world
for quick and exquisite train service.
The Royal Blue Line" service con-
sists of nine elegant passenger trains
a day in each direction between the
cities named above. They are the
finest and fastest trains in the world.
Their equipment was built especially
for the service by the Pullman Com
pany, and includes every modern con-
venience known for the comfort of
passengers. The trains are veStibuled
from end to end, and hauled by the
strongest and fastest locomotives in
the United States.
The exquisite day coaches Of these
trains are worthy of special note.
They are beautifully upholstered,
each Containing WdSnIOOnl ana
smoking compartment.
The parlor cars are the most pala-
tial ever built, being fully seventy
three feet long. In addition to this
service, three new parlor cars were
added in April, and are the first Of
this kind ever run; they are richly up
holstered and ornamented throughout
in most beautiful designs. A ladies'
retiring-room is provided in one end
of the car. This room, which is six
feet square, is furnished with beauti-
full dresser with large mirror and a
number of drawers. On each side of
it are upholstered corner seats In an
other corner is bookcase and station
ary washstand. The room was de-
signed for especial comfort of ladies,
who have always claimed men had the
best of it when travelling. The usual
smoking apartment, however, is at the
opposite end of the car.
The dining cars are operated by the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad Company,
and especial attention is given to the
menu. Every delicacy is served in
, season, and the service is unsurpassed.
In addition to the already perfect
service of "Royal Blue Trains" men
toned above, there will be put into
service May Is a "Royal Limited
train, which will leave New York at .oc
P. NJ, making the run to Washington
in FIVE hours. Returning, the "Roy-
al Limited will leave Washington at
800 P. NJ, arriving New York at SIC
P NJ. The "Royal Blue Line" will
then boast of three trains which make
this extraordinary fast time between
| Washington and New York, which
has never been attained by any other
line. The "Royal Blue Trains" be-
| tween Baltimore and Washington
make the run in FORTY-FIVE MIN
UTES-the fastest regular service ever
| attained between the two cities.
The terminal at New York City is
the most convenient for all points in
Greater New York. Passengers Can
land at South Ferry (Whitehall Ter,
minaD, where, under the same roof
| connection is made with the elevated
lines of the second, Third, Sixth and
Ninth Avenues, and the Broadway

ring that nominated Clough in 1896

the same ring was going to name
the candidate this year.. Their can

nothing will be left undone by the

Taxing Intangibility

Minneapolis Free Press: The
United States supreme court has
handed down a decision which marks
an epoch in tax collection. 1t sup
ports the proposition of the tax
officials OF Ohio to tax intangible
property of the Adams Express COM
pany. .
The tangible property OF the COM
pany is valued at $4,000, 900, but
the company is worth, by reason of
the business which it does and the
franchises and rights Of way which
it holds $16,O00,0O0. The supreme
court decides that the company
should be taxed on the basis of the
total $l6,000,000~of tangible and
intangible property, instead of upon
II he 100000 of tangible alone.
