In olden times, when European kings
were as plentiful as Kentucky colonels
are today. 1t was not an exceptional
occurrence for king to disappear and
never been heard Of again. In ancient
times. however. the people havo been
more careful Of their kings.
So when King Sebastian Of Portugal
disappeared In battle July 20, 1878,
while fighting the Moors at Alcazar,
there was great commotion. Tho Moors
surrendered to the Portuguese body
said to be that of the king, but 1t was
rumored that the Moors had the king
alive In custody.
The surrendered body was buried
with royal honors at Belem, but tho
faithful Portuguese persisted In watt
ing for the return Of their king. Long
after he would have died in t. course
Of nature his countrymen ,ngingly
awaited his coming.
Even up to this day tho legend of the
return Of King Sebastian is believed by
many. and on stormy nights creduious
Portuguese citizens will wrap their
cloaks about them and go outside and
watch the storm. thinking that the
king may appear in cloud Of fra
again to rule.

Project For New East
and West Trunk Line.
Northern Ohio Railroad Is Forever
Out Of Harms Way.

The Railway Age little less than
two weeks ago, in an article, which at
the time was apt, on "a New Trunk
Line to New York." presented neat
map Of the projected route. with the
Northern Ohio as an important link
in its makeup. The completion was
contemplated, at least in the active
brain Of Calvin S. Brice, 1t was point
ed out, "would make 1t very formid-
able competitor to existing routes"
The project, the map and the recollec-
tion Of what then was contemplated
have rather mournful interest in
one way, but exhilaraling interest in
another. Senator Bricc, ambitious.
quick witted, ard naturally a sclem-
or, has left this sphere Of politics, and
of strike railroads, to join the major
ity. The Northern Ohio, as part OF
the Lake Erie & Western system, is
now Vanderbilt property, and forever
out Of harms way as rate disturber.
And never since the dawn Of railway
building on the American continent
has the prospect Of the creation of
another trunk line between Chicago
and New York been more shadowy.
The Lake Eric & Western has passed
into the bands OF the Lake Shore with
the confession of the loss of several
hundred thousand dollars upor the
projected scventy-mllo extension east
ward from Akron to Newcastle. That
the enterprise went no further than
it did may be considered justly rs
cause for rejoicing on the part of all
who are interested In the trunk line
properties, or who abomnate the evils
of secret rates, and the other bad ef-
fects of railroads "built to SELF with
out serving useful public ends.
