The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tie First Bail
read 10 Introduce Automobile Service. -,

The Baltimore d Ohio Railroad has
established Electric Automobile Service
at Washington. y. c., in connection
with it, train service, being the first
railroad to introduce this mode Of trans
portation regularly to and from its rail
way station.
The Automobiles are Of the test cleo
trio pattern, absolutely nOScicS5 in re-
gard to machinery and running gear.
They are provided with luxurious s. deep
cushioned seats, with electric lights and
time pieces. Two small trunks can be
carried on the supports at the rear of
the vehicle, and the top of the cab pro-
videS ample room for small travelling
bags and hand luggage.
The splendid streets of Washington
are particular favorable for this high
class transportation, and the vehicles
can in safety reach a speed from ten TO
fourteen miles an hour on any of the
streets, except in the business portion.
1t has been arranged, when special
service is desired. passengers on trains
approaching Washington from the East
will notify conductor before arrival at
Baltimore, and on trains from the West
will notify conductor before arrival Of
train at Washington Junction.
The rates for this extraordinary SER
vice are extremely reasonable. and the
Baltimore y Ohio Railroad, with its adj
yanCed ideas and methods, is 10 be con-
graduated in being the first TO inaugu-
rate regularly this latest invention in
transportation service

His Teeth Were Ills Own.

Four or five travelling men around
the hotel stove had been talking about
teeth, when one CT them got up and
saying good night" went off to bed.
Did you notice what fine teeth
that party had ?" said man from St.
Louis. "He won't acknowledge they
are false, or rather he insists that they
are his own, and yet he doesn't quite
tell the truth. My brother is dent
ist in Kansas City, and this man lives
there, and my brother does his work
for him. Not that he tells me any
thing, but merely as an accident, for
everybody who knows the man knows
the circumstances. His teeth are his
own. and at the same time they are
false. You don't understand, so l Il
explain. He always had unusual fine
teeth, but about five years ago they
showed signs of Riggs disease, an af-
lection which causes the gums to re-
cele from the roots, leaving them eX-
posed some distance down from the
enameled surface. In aggravated
cases or where the person IS very SEN
sitiye the disease IS very painful and
it is almost impossible to relieve it.
To cure it is practically impossible, for
the gums will not grow back again.
This man was Of the sensitive kind, and
although physicians and dentists tried
their skill on him and they could do
nothing, and he suffered so that at
last he told my brother to extract
every tooth in his mouth and put
false ones in for him. As nothing else
could be done, my brother followed
instructions and pulled every tooth,
They were all in perfect condition.
and as my brother looked them over
regretting that his patient was forced
to give them up, novel idea occurred
to him, which he at once told to the
other man, who agreed to it willingly
This was that instead Of making arti,
fetal teeth, as was the usual custom
these same teeth be used exactly as j
they were artificial. Ny brOther,who i,
frstclass dentist always, was more
than ordinarily careful on this job, anc
when be had mounted the teeth in a
plate measured to a hairs breadth an(
slipped them into his patients mOutl
they fitted as il they had grown there
as it were, and now there isn't one
man in a thousand can tell that they
are false, if, indeed, false they are
At the same time there isn't any more
Riggs disease to trouble him.
