Excess Baggage Rates.

A number OF Western railways in the
Western Transportation Bureau have
begun to agitate for a minimum charge
on excess baggage or % cents. and the
Trunk Line Association viii probably
take some action at it's next meeting
The Western roads will put new rule
making this charge, into practice after
March 1, and from the Western associa-
tion comes the proposal to make the
rule general throughout the country.
The adoption OF the rule will cause q
maximum advance OF 10 cents a hundred
pounds excess when the fare is less
than S1.25 and cents when the fare is
above S1.65.
Some OF the Eastern managers believe
that conditions on certain of their roads
40 not warrant the change.
From some of the Western roads
comes also the proposition that a gen
eral rule be adopted as TO slime limits
on passenger tickets Among the sug-
gestions is one that al railroads agree
whether the date OF issuance OF the
ticket shall or shall not count as one Of
the days 20 which the use OF the ticket
is limited.

comments II is very dificult for a
member OF the AngIo-Saxon race to real
ize that the Hindoos are pure Cau-
casians and that an Indian prince usual
~ has a pedigree that makes that Of the
Oldest families in Europe seem very
young
There was 10 doubt OF the fact that
Lady Anne was N love with Prince Vic
tor Dhuleep Singh. and il was equally
plain that the prince was in love with
her. The family objected streuuousIy.
II was known that the Earl Of Coventry
had determined that his daughter should
not marry an Indian. She was a recog-
nized beauty Of the fair. buxom English
type
No one knows what the result would
have been. although the friends Of both
Prince Victor and Lady Anne we're OF
the opinion that they would marry de-
spite the opposition Of her family had
not the Prince Of Wales interviewed. For
some reason, possibly due to her innate
sense OF justice. Prince Victor enjoyed
the friendship Of Queen Victoria. aud
her late majesty was very fond OF Lady
Anne. whose godmother she was. The
present King was also personally fond
CT Prince Victor. The court influence
was too strong for the Earl Of Coventry
and he gracefully gave his consent TO
the marriage. IL was celebrated in great
style in May 1885
