Especially in Passenger Service of the
Baltimore & Ohio on Account Of

Already the passenger train employees
on The B. & o. are beginning to antici-
pate the strenuous year that is just
ahead, beginning the latter part OF
April it is expected the passenger ttaf.
hc will begin Ito assume such proportions
that were never before experinced on the
road. The Worlds Fair win attract
thousands who win travel over the b
& o., which has alre.dy been dubbed
the Worlds Fair Route" and is being
extensively advertised as such.
An old conductor says THAT dc has fig.
ured out how it is that employees in the
passenger service take 50 little time off.
According to his estimate, whenever
there is a big event to tr1lnspire their
service are then needed the most, and
when the affairs ends the men do not
want to get away from work.

This picture is not an unusual one, but the experience of the average woman who has given up the becoming atmosphere of her home "to live with men and to take her place in the world.' See this particular woman, bachelor maid, upon a cold, windy night. The wind blows the snow against the win- dows and howls down the chimney, and she, who has declared her independence and says that she is "on an equal foot ing with men," is unlocking the door of her apartment; the much-desired latch key is dropped into her storm coat pocket: she shivers as she enters her bachelor quarters; stoops down to light the fire, but the landiady has neglected to have it laid which eompels our hero inc to seek one for herself.

AFTER.

It is estimated that the havoc wrought in the celebrations of the Fourth of July by the use of explosives since the war of independence has been greater than that wrought by the reyo- lutionary war itself. Every glorious Fourth scores of people are killed and hundreds are maimed or disfgured for life while the damage to property is immense. Out of @ total of 210 cities and towns from which reports were ob- tained of the casualties son the last Fourth caused by explosives, the. Chi cago Tribune finds that the total death list for, the day is ffty-twe. The total number of injured is S,665, and the total fire losses amount to $40O,625. Fire works injured 1,170; skyrockets, 206; cannon, S19; firearms, 562;; toy pistols, 559; gunpowder, 76S, and runaways, S1. New York leads in fire losses, the total there being $2O1,6OO. New York also leads. in the number killed, five. But in the Injured the latter city Is far down on the list. the total number be- ing but 61. Philadelphia leads all easily with total of SS5. The mortality from the toy pistol is appalling, and the death from it, which is by lockjaw, is horrible. In Chicago in one July those dying from this cause number sixty and in another twenty-four. Tn New York City three consecutive fourth of Julys yielded ninety-eight such deaths.
 All this is certainly an impressive ob- ject lesson and nothing appears in the line of statistics to show how many deaths were hastened by the noise and shock of the explosives on the day in question. But the element in human nature that rejoices in opportunities to make great noise, whether as an evi- dence of patriotism or something else. will not down.
