About Annual Passes.

In view of the fact that the LaCka-
wanna employees are asking for annual
passes the following is of interest:
"An innovation in railroad manage
ment made by the general manager
of the Baltimore and Ohio is the is
suanCe of annual passes to all engi-
neers and conductors who have served
the road in such capacities for year
or more
THE passes are also made to include
the wives and minor children of the
good for use over all the lines of the
company east and west of the Ohio
river. There are about 5000 engineers
and conductors in the employ Of the
company who will be benefited by the
order. The families average four per-
sons, making an aggregate number Of
about 1900 who will hereafter enjoy
free transportation facilities.
I'm justification of the consideration
shown, it is said by the officials that
the duties of engineers and conductors
are important and responsible. BY
care and faithfulness they can reduce
accidents to a minimum, run trains on
or near schedule time, and thereby fa
Cilitate and encourage business.

are entitled to this additional cOnsid-

This and That.

Charles Miller. general manager Of
the Portland and Bangor railroad. was
in the city for a few hours yesterday.
Major MontrOse Barnard superin-
tendent of the Delaware, LaCkawanna
and Western mines down the valley,
was in the city yesterday.
II. G. Young, of Albany, second vice.
president of the Delaware and Hudson
company, arrived in the city yesterday
in his special car. He was accom-
panied by c. II. Manville division
superintendent of the road. Mr.. Young
remained but a short while, leaving
on the Lackawanna 1888 o'clock train
for New York city.
During August of last year but two
cars were remodelled at the car shops
of the LaCkawanna company. This
August will see seventeen parlOr cars
and passenger coaches turned ou..
Work on the remaining seven is being
pushed rapidly, that the road will have
its full complement Of coaches to ham
die the heavy traffic incident to the
mail carriers convention next week
The sleeper "Lyndhurst" that has been
remodelled will be put into service to-
day.
Master Car Builder Garfield, of the
Lackawanna company, is strongly con-
sidering having the several shops un-
der him lighted with electricity, in or
der that during the winter months the
ten hour day shift can be continue l.
The returning to the eight hour day
owing to darkness will be a serious set
back, from the fact that the shops are
loaded with work that must be done na
speedily as possible Mr., Garfield went
to New York city yesterday and upon
his return will act on the matter.

Hallstead Is Excited.

Again sensational rumOrS are aflOat
concerning changes to be made in the
working force of the Delaware Lack
aWanna and Western and the local en-
plOyes of that road are wOnderilG Wha-
IS going to happen next. This latest
story is to the effect that changes II
the divisioning of the system ar W..
der way which will necessitate a whole
sale removal of train crews from this
city to other points on the road.
At Hallstead, so it is said, quite a
number of freight conductors have
been notified to hold themselves in
readiness for orders calling for
change of residence. The story goes
that these conductors have been given
to understand that they must be pre-
pared, to be reduced to brakemen on
the train crews and that in case they
refuse to be reduced they will be dis
missed from the service. Such changes
are claimed to effect some of the oldest
men in the roads employ.
A Herald man had interesting talks
with certain of the railroad employees
this morning on the subject. While
the men could none of them state
positively the change was being con-
templated, yet in view of circumstan-
ces. they pinned much faith to the
rumOrs about 1t. one man said: "'ThC
sO-called change of divisions has never
taken place in reality. 1t is now talked
that the road will be divided into three
divisions, as follows: New York to
Scranton, Scranton to Elmira and Ell
mira to Buffalo. Should such a thing
happen the crews living here and at

rellnquish his position AS foreman OF
the Diamond mine of the Delaware
IaCkawanna and Western company

dents of West Scranton.
Ever since the retirement of B. =
Green from the position of foreman OF
the Bellevue mine there have been
rumors and rumors to the effect that
Mr.. Langstaff was slated for removal
and the announcement that the axe has
fallen will cause no astonshment
Superintendent Loomis said yesterday
that Mr.. Langstaff's relations with t."
company will cease September |, when

several times sought the Republican

feated at the polls and soon afterwards

Feeding Bottles.

. Most people are OF opinion that feed
ing bottles for babies must be an in
vention Of modern times. According
to Prof. ]. N. Mosby. noted English an
tiQuary. however, this is not the case.
This gentleman, who was lecturing re-
Gently before an antiquarian society.
stated that it was the custom among
the Greeks for the nurses to carry a
sponge full OF honey in a small pot to
stop the children from crying. The
professor went on to say that there are
two Greek vases in the British Mu-
scum, dating from 700 B. c., which
closely resemble the feeding bottles
used subsequently by the Romans In
the old Roman cemetery Of st. Sepul-
chre. Canterbury, England, a feeding
bottle of bright red polished ware was
dug up in 1861. and Prof. Mosby came
to the conclusion that this bottle must
have been buried with the little Roman
child to whose wants it had mnistered
during lifetime.

Artfcl,okes For PIGS,

Occasionally some one writes en-
Enthusiastically in favor of artichokes for
swine, but the great majority of swine
breeders and feeders do not seem to
he fascinated with this valuable tuber.
The fear of difficulty in getting rid OF
them, after they are once in the ground,
is one cause of this Indifference. AS
q matter Of fact there is little danger
Of artichokcs remaining in the ground,
if hogs have free access to the field.
They will not leave any to speak Of.
1t is not probable that artichokes are
quite all that some writer's would have
lis believe, but nevertheless, if a swine
feeder once tries them, lie will not be
apt to give them up. They seem to be
just suited to the hogs taste and sys-
tenn, are conducive to tho health of the
animal, and in food value, os part Of
the ration, are worthy Of high esteem.
If pigs are allowed to run on arii-
chokcs, and also fed grain, the arti-
chokes will gave about two pounds of
grain for each pound of gain in live
! weight. They are an easy, economi
cal crop TO grow. Plant them in rows
three feet apart, cultivate few times,
and then let them and the hogs have
it out togethcr.-The Epitomost.
