Fatal ALPINE Climbing.

Climbing the Alps may be a very
pleasurable experience, but when it is
recalled that during the present year
sixty-three persons have lost their lives
in that pursuit It becomes evident that
the pastimc is dangerous one. Just
why so many persons take the risk.
with the record Of fatal accidents
around them, Is puzzllng. One would
think that a person with competence
upon which to live happily and with
peaceful home surroundings should
know enough to fight shy Of such need
less dangers, but instead many such
persons court the risk and think they
cannot attain the height Of happiness
unless they have climbed some danger
Gus peak, a misstep on which may mean
death or permanent injury. Such action
seems to us a piece of reckless daring
for which we can discover no excuse.

are the ideas that carry. Railway
compelled to carry, and will carry, the
following as baggage: Wearing appa-
rel and personal effects Of passengers
necessary for their journey. Railway
companies check trunks. valises, satch-
els, leather hat boxes and medium boxes
when they have handles and the con-
tents are wearing apparel. bundles
when done up in canvas and roped,
sailors and immigrants bags. travel
ers' rugs when strapped, and CONNER
cial travellers sample trunks. They
will also check, but at the passengers
own risk: Tool chests, guns i'll cases,
surveyors instruments and steamer
and invalid chairs. Bicycles and SIM
liar vehicles are checked and carried
as baggage when accompanied by the
passenger, and only one bicycle will
be checked for one passenger. All at
tachments such as cyclometers, lamps,
etc., must be removed, and a charge
is made. A baggageman would rath-
er handle half carload of baggage
than two or three bicycles. Dogs are
also checked, but a charge, the same
as for one hundred pounds Of excess
baggage, is made. a dog, however,
will not be checked unless provided
with a strong collar and chain or Is
Grated. A dog is always carried at the
owners risk.

these are always accompanied by q

ment to destination.
The popular idea Of how the aver
age baggageman handles the property
of the travelling public is one which
is hardly in accordance with the truth

he does everything in his power tt

Il rule the heavy stuff is placed on the

OF course baggage becomes scratched
and broken. but this is something that
Is unavoidable and for which the pub
lie is more to blame than the baggage
men. A piece Of iron sticking out on
a trunk will certainly get next to an
other and scratch it. 1t is impossible
to avoid anything like this and the
railway companies can not be expected
to supply feather ticks to place be-
tween baggage, as some passengers
would wish. 1t is the cheap trunk
which is generally the sufferer in the
hands of railway company. Some
people buy a trunk for $3.50 and ex-
pect it to stand the same wear and
tear as the best trunk manufactured.
Another line which suffers is the dress
suit case, an article which was never
intended to be checked. It gets the
corners ripped of and is general
source Of annoyance. Then there is
the cheap paper valise. Their owners
place a value of from ten to fifteen
dollars on them when they come to

make claim from the railway COM
pany whose employe has been so cruel
as put it out Of business. In this con-
nection it may be stated that one rail-
road baggage department has intro
duced heavily padded mat for use
on the trucks in unloading baggage
from the cars. 1t has proved a good
thing and is now being adopted by
other roads.
The system Of checking baggage
is pretty much the same on all
the large roads and at the Chi
cago depots Of the Northwestern,
the Chicago and Alton, Burlington
and Quincy, Milwaukee and St.
Paul, or Of the great east
ern lines, such as the Grand Trunk
an interested observer may study
the methods which have become so per-
feet and satisfactory that the Great
Eastern Railway Of London, England,
adopted the same details May l, 1902.
There are three different kinds Of
checks to deal with. First comes the
local baggage check. which covers bag
gage checked from one point on a long
line to another point on the same road.
If the piece Of baggage checked with
one of these local checks is to go via
Il junction, there is space on the check

POlvRlOt India.

Twenty eight languages are spoken
in India, and none of these Is spoken by
fewer than 100000 persons, while the
most general is the mother tongue, of
85,5OO,OOO. Besides these there are in
the remotest parts of the country, dia-
lects spoken by no more than 500 per-
sons. which none other than themselves
can interpret. India has nine great
creeds, numbering their followers from
the 2O8OOO.OOO Hindoos down to the
9,25O,OOO Animistics and the innumer
able sects included in the 43,OOC
"others."
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1902-12-05

for the instructions. This check is
made out in duplicate and the part
which Is handed to the passenger is an
exact fac simtle of the portion known
as the strap check and which is at
tached to the passengers baggage. Sec
ond comes the special check which Is,
used for checking baggage to points off
the company's line. 1t is much larger
than the local check. The strap por-
ton shows where the baggage is
checked from and where it is going to,
and the city or State, as the case may
be. 1t also shows the roads over which
the particular piece Of baggage is to
travel and the junction points where
1t Is to be transferred to another road.
A third kind Of check is what is known
as depot or Identification check. This
check Is used for giving to persons
bringing baggage to the depots and who
are not ready to check the same out,
through some reason or other, such as
not having purchased their ticket, etc.
Carriers are always bringing baggage
to the depots, and this check is used
in their case. They deliver the baggage
to the railway officials and take the
check back to the person from whom
they received the baggage.
There are many ways In which bag
gage goes astray, but under the system
now In use 1t Is rather easy matter
to trace it. Every piece of baggage
when checked is entered on form
supplied for that purpose. When the
baggage is received into the car the
man In charge also enters it on another
form, but he goes the man in the sta
ton one better and describes it in
column set aside for that purpose This
occurs all along the line, and every man
taking charge of the baggage makes a
record of it as he receives it. These
forms are sent into headquarters daily,
and some idea may be had Of the num-
day when it Is stated that some roads
have $50 trains daily, carrying from 50
to $50 pieces of baggage each. In this
way record Of all baggage is always
had at headquarters or the divisional
points.
The station or identification check re-
ferred to above was introduced for the
purpose of avoiding mistakes in the
way of passengers claiming baggage as
their own, when, as a matter of fact, it
never belonged to them, although it
resembled what really did belong to
them. The great similarity Of baggage,
trouble, but the Identification check has
served the purpose for which it was in
troduced. The baggagemen have no
more trouble with passengers coming in
and endeavoring to locate their belong
ings. All they have to do now is to
present their Identification check and
they get their baggage. Another fea-
ture in connection with unmarked bag
gage is that advantage is taken by
evil-disposed persons, who, in some
unaccountable way, acquire knowl~
edge Of what a certain piece Of
| baggage contains. They use this
knowledge in making a claim, and
by proving the contents the baggage is
handed over to them. In such cases
the claimant generally pleads that he
or she, as the case may be, has lost
the check. In such cases a charge of
twenty-five cents is made, which goes
to cover the clerical work connected
with the delivery of such package.

PRESIDENT AND POPE.

The Taft Commission, sent TO
Rome, drove to the Vatican and was
received in special audience by the
Pope. Major Porter was in full uni
form, while Bishop O'Gorman, who
accompanied the party. wore robes.
The. audience was most cordial one.
The Pope shook Governor Taft's
hand, and expressed pleasure at see
ing him in Rome.
Governor Taft, In presenting Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter to His Holi-
ness, made a brief address, congratu
lating the Pontiff on his jubilee, and
expressing the hope that his presence
in Rome would prove profitable both
to the Church and the Philippines.
He ended by presenting to the Pope
a set of President Rooseyelt's books.
The Vatican has accepted the
main points in. the proposition of
Governor Taft on the friar lands in
the Philippines, which include the
payment of about $5.OO0,OOO for
agricultural lands, another smaller
sum for the rental of lands used by
the army and the deportation of the
friars to Spain. The actual sums
will be fixed by arbitration.

Gen. Christian De Wet has match

Gen. Lee at the close Of the civil
war. At the concentration camp in
the Orange River Colony Gen. De
Wet has been urging the bnrghers to
show Great Britain what good colo
nists the Beers can make. He has done
this elsewhere. This was Lees large
minded course at and after Appo-
mattox. He refused before the sur
render to be party to longer re-
sistance. After the surrender he
urged his soldiers to be as good citi-
zens in peace as they had been SOL
diers in war. His advice saved in
calculable suffering. 1t was the

WHERE THEY FAILED.

The esteemed Irvington CITIZEN
is not altogether satisfied with the
work of the Constitutional Conven-
tion, aud thinks that too much poll
tics entered into the making of the
new instrument While we know
nothing of this last matter, vet we
cannot even at this late date refrain
from shedding a few tears over
"spilt milk" The Convention, SO
far as the pledges of its members to
the people went, has been a failure,
because those pledges were not car
ried out. Messrs. Flood and Parks,
as we have before stated, stood IN
the courthouse here and promised
that the people of Virginia should
elect their own officials from school
trustees up, but the Convention dis
regarded these promises, and the
promisers themselves did little to-
wards seeing them carried out. A
political campaign was on then,
however, and members grasped at
every straw in order to place them
selves in favorable light before
the people. The election over, it
was the people be d, and prom
ises were as if unsaid. The people
of Virginia asked to be allowed to
choose their own school superinten-
dents. The Convention refused and
threw them sop IN the office of
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion. Likewise in other cases, and
the people came out last. Members
of the Convention have done we'll in
many instances and wrong in others,
but one thing is certain, none of
them have done anything calculated
to place their names on the tablet of
fame. When the Constitutional Oaks
have become great trees members of
the body about to adjourn sine die
will have been forgotten in Vir-
ginia.-EedericGs5ury Star.
