SAVING AND COMFORT.
Attend the Rock Islands New
SmokeIess Firing System.

smokeless Firing System.
The smokeIess firing, or rather the
doing away with the Objectionable
black smoke from the locomotives,
which the Rock Island has put into
practice on their entire system, is meet
ing with deserving success. A great
many unsolicited reports and compli-
mentary letters have been received
from various patrons of the road, eX-
pressing their appreciation of the road 5
interest in their behalf, by eliminating
the smoke and cinders, which is so OBJ
jectionable a feature on the majority of
the railroads.
There are two sides to this smokeless
firing. First, the doing away with the
smoke and cinderS, consequently add
ing much to the pleasures of the pas
Senger while travelling. Second, the saw
ing in the cost of fuel to the road, thus
lessening the operating expenses, yet
at the same time. giving better service
to the patrons. OF this last fact it may
be said, that over 100000 a year, or 10
per cent of the entire cost of fuel, is
saved to the Rock Island road every
year, by the adoption of the smokeless
firing system.
AS to the proper workings of this
smokeless firing, the officials, and also
passengers, are expected to report any
unnecessary amount of smoke thrown
out from the engine, while they are rid
ing upon any of the company's trains.
To the officials are furnished the fol-
lowing blanks, which are to be filled
out and promptly forwarded to the di-
vision master mechanic:

The engineer and firemen on the
Rock Island are making an effort to
have this smokeless firing a success,
and it is to their interest and credit to
do so. 1t may also be mentioned, that
in connection with the saving of fuel to
the road, there is a material lessening
in the amount of coal to be handled by
the fireman. The benefits of this smoke
less firing are all on the good side and
it's adoption is to the best interests of
the road as we'll as the patron.

Gloucester, Mass.
DR.. Ryder has the reputation OF be
ing one of the most eloquent speakers
iu the Universalist denomination and
his sermon on Sunday morning was an
fs6le production, delivered in the power
full manner for which the Dean is ia
nous. We have not the space for an
abstract to which the sermon is enti-
tied. Within the memory of the writer
no better or more powerful discourse
has ever been heard in the city on Com
mencement Sunday. DR.. Ryder said
among other good thing: " Be ye per-
feet even as your Father in Heaven is
perfect" Matthew AS. Those old
English sch GLARS and teachers devoted
their time to the teaching of the idea
that we should be educated in one line,
all our energies devoted to the acqulr'
ing of one end. This morning, at the
risk of being old fashioned. l give you
this thought: if the teacher and the
school would truly educate, then the
pulpit must be trained in various pur-
suits, made to cultivate every talent
We can plan, toll and endeavor, but il
we have neglected all else and concen'
trated everything on one object VT
shall have failed in our work. 1t may
take nine physicians to make one mar
and require nine persons wearing th'
robes of the preacher to make one man
The school that trains one to duty alone
will make the scholar tyrant, tina
cultivates simply the ability to handle
figures may make a rascal, that De
velops simply the sentiment may pro
duce fanatic. but develope all thes'
talents and we shall have the all rounde'
