A RAILWAYS COAT OF ARMS.
An English Line Obtains One From
the Herald's College.
(From the London Globe.)


THE Genealogical Magazine informs US
that the Great Central Railway. the new
est of the great railway lines. has petit
toned for and obtained a grant of arms.
Of which the official blazon is as follows:
Arms-Argent. on a cross gules. voided Of
the field. between two wings in chief sable.
and as many daggers erect in base of the
second. in the fesse point a morton wing
ed of the third. on chief also of the sec
ond pale of the first. thereon eight arrows
saltirewise banded also of the third be-
tween on the dexter side three bendlets en-
HANGED and on the sinister fleur- ur-de-lys or.
Crest, on a wreath of the colors-a repre-
sentation Of the front Of a locomotive en-
gine proper between two wings or.
The grant is dated February 25. 1898. and
in itself is typical Of many things. To be-
gin with. what railway company twenty
years ago would have troubled to bow to
the authority of the Earl Marshal? In the
next place, what herald 800 years ago
would have granted a locomotive for a
crest even IL such an awesome instrument
had been then inventeds That such a
charge should be introduced into an armo-
rial achievement testifies to the fact that
heraldry like every other science which
has a presently operative existence takes
cognizance of the changes of these rapidly
moving times. Doubtless many heraidic
pedants will dub the charge 'unheraldic.
but with a railway company there can be
no objection to thus openly dating the arms
as modern. There can be no ancestry be-
hind And with reference to the wider
subjects OF the introduction of such
charges in personal achievements we our
selves have always frankly admired the
pluck and the honesty which have led to
the selection of such charges as the tel
escope" in the arms of Herschel. the
vase" in the crest of Doulton. and the
corrugated boiler flue'' In a recent grant
of arms to a well-known manufacturer
Though we ourselves should be the first
to ridicule the meanings" heroic or
otherwise" which are so frequently at
tached to coats-of of-arms, 1t is, however,
interesting to notice the evident sources
which have been drawn upon in designing
these arms for the Great Central Railway.
The cross gules upon an argent field is
derived from the arms of the city OF Lon
don. Probably 1t Is voided because Ar
gent, a cross gules." Is now appropriated
to st. George. the Order of the Carter and
other royal purposes The daggers In base
very probably have their origin in the
same quarter, though the charge In the
arms of the city of London. as is well
known. is the sword Of st. Paul, and net
the dagger of Wat Tyler. The winged
morton is but another name for the wing
ed cap of Mercury. and the insertion OF
the charge Is singularly appropriate The
enhanced are taken from the coat
of Manchester. the arrows from the shield
OF Shefield and the fleur-de-lys from the
arms OF Lincoln. Thus are amply typined
the towns of the original Manchester,
Shefield and Lincoln Railway.

in membership, until today it is one OF
the strongest secret fraternities in the
United States and numbers among its
members prominent public men in every
state in the Union. The lodges of the or

the District has been especially gratifying
to those interested in its welfare. Its con-
dition at the present time is exceedingly
prosperous. The past few years have been
marked by a decided increase in member
ship and a number of new lodges have -en
formed The suburban towns in the v cini
ty of the city have contributed largely To
the increased membership.
