NEWS OF RAILROADS
AND OF RAILROAD MEN

road world about the first of the pres
ent year. The investigation was made
for the purpose CT ascertaining whether
the conditions justified the advances.
and If il should be proven that they
did not. IL was the intention 10 insti-
tute proceedings 10 compel the roads
70 impose just rates. Nearly all the
railroad companies have established
pretty clearly that their operating eX-
penses have increased heavily In the
last two years. and that the freight
charges had not been advanced CORE
spondingly uLtil the advances Of Janu-
airy l. II is not likely that any steps
viii be taken in court to compel the
roads 10 lower their existing charges.
The inquiry brought out the fact that
there is a constant Huctuarion in the
traffic rates charged by the varjcus rail-
roads. One of The Intci staff. commerce
Commissioners. in discussing this mat
ter. says:
II called on our auditor the other day
20 report the number OF notices Of
changes in published railroad tariffs that
Re received in the following day. The
auditor explained that this was the slack
season with the roads. and that com
paratiyely few changes were being
made The greatest activity was to be
observed around January l and IN the
spring. when navigation opens. Despite
all this his report showed the receipt OF
2fo notices OF changes in freight sched-
ules. which I considered as extraOrdi-
nary.
In my judgment there is no excuse
for all these changes, and in the busy
season there are sometimes twice as
many received in a single day. IL seems
that one road will make a slight altcra-
ton in the tarin on a certain commod-
iJy. and all the other roads will order
the same change. Five or six years ago
there was a continual tendency 10 de
cline in freight charges. but now the
tendency is to rise. While the advances
have not been very pronounced. still
they have been general all over the
country. The rate per ton per mile for
the last three years has been increas-
ing. and the increase in 1902 OF the
principal Eastern railroad systems was
more than it was for any OF the preccd-
ing three years.

B. & o. Shop Facilities.

One OF the important problems that is
being solved by the mana cement OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is the in
crease in shop facilities for repairing
locomotives. Within the past year 4
careful survey has been made OF the
machinery and tools and estimate made
for new tools OF modern construction
Since January. 1902. the road has pur-
chased a half million dollars worth
Of up-to-date machinery for the vari-
Gus shops on the system. and now finds
that il will take as much more money
TO satisfy the conditions
Fully $500 900 has been expended in
shop extensions. and il is proposed to
spend a large sum in addition this year.
The locomotive equipment has greatly
increased in the last four years. and as
the types now in use are very much
larger and heavier than heretofore used.
additional facilities are imperative II
is probable. that Mt Clare. the big Bal
tirnore shop, will have It's facilities near
" doubled this year. and II Is also
thought a large repair shop will have
10 be built at some point west OF the
Ohio River.

and in 1901 was married in Rome TO
Prince ROspigliOsi, head of an ancient

refused 10 recognize the marriage

.POSTAL'S WIRES CUT
BY WESTERN UNION
Rival Company Starts War in Bal
timOre.

BALTIMORE. Md, March 11.-Open
hostilities between the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Postal Tel
egraph-Cable Company have begun.
War has been formally declared by the
officials OF the former company against
the Postal. and the first battle OF cut
ting down wires fought. Within a few
hours yesterday. all wires belonging 70
the Postal Company which were strong
to telegraph poles Of the Western Union
Company were lying in the streets and
roads Of the city and its suburbs. The
order to do up the Postal Company is
said 10 have come from the main office
in New York city. Apparently this city
was the first place selected as a battle
ground.
Ninety-five poles were stripped OF Pos
tai wires AS a result the Postal Com
pany's local call and broker wire service
was considerably crippled for a time.
though while one force OF workmen was
engaged in cutting down the wires
another was close upon it's heels string
ing them on other poles. At some points
where the Postal Company had no poles.
however. the repairs could not be made
in haste. and the latter company ac-
cordingly suffered some loss
As far as could be learned the West
ern Union officials had notified those OF
the Postal Company TO take down its
wires from the formers poles at once,
but the order could not be carried out
Immediately, hence the resort to clip

occasional glass of Bordeaux. of which
a liberal supply is always provided by

Must Eat Alone.
Ii is one Of the penalties of his exalted
station that. though by nature a most
sociable. conviviaI man. he must always
eat alone when in the Vatican. and his
simple meals have none OF the flavor OF
wit and conversation which no one could
enjoy or contribute better than himself
In summer time the Pope loves 10 eat
his luncheon in a favorite summer house,
a plain wooden structure in the Vatican
gardens. and at its conclusion to walk
for a time in the grounds. watching the
gardeners at their work and EOssiping
with them in friendly fashion or noting
the growth OF his oranges. OF which he
is so proud. He has his animal pets,
which he loves to feed. notably a beau
tiful gazelle. the present by one OF his
cardinals, which runs up to greet it's
master when he walks in the garden and
takes food from his hands.
When he was younger Leo XIII. who
sportsman. would amuse himself by
catching birds in a net trap. but this
pastime has long ceased to attract him.
At o'clock the Pope returns TO his
apartments TO give private audiences to
bishops and any men of note who may
be staying in Rome. These private aU-
diences. marked as they are by a charm
ing informaiity and grace Of reception,
are much coveted by many OF the world 9
greatest men as a mark Of special IA
vor; but they are granted to few. and
not by any means always TO those who
think they have the greatest right TO
expect them.
His Final Meal.
At o'clock in the winter and 9
o'clock in summer the Pope retires to
his private apartments. and after recit-
ing the Rosary with his private sec
retary and one OF the household priests
partakes OF the last meal OF the day.
This, again. like its predecessors. is the
plainest OF repasts. consisting Of an egg.
vegetables. and a little fruit.
After the final meal he spends the in
terval before bedtime in playing chess
or in conversation with one of his sec
retaries or cardinals: and punctually at
II O'Clock retires 10 rest. Even now the
active brain will not always allow him
TO sleep. and many a night he spends
hours pacing his bedroom. reading or
musinE.
Twice a week in winter the Pope re-
ceives in public audience any who wish
to see him, whatever their nationality or
creed may be, chatting freely and kind
ly 10 each. and charming all by his
sweet and unaffected manner
Such in brief outline is the simple in
dustrious. gracious life OF a man whom
the world regardless OF differences OF
creed. unites 10 sdmire.-London Tit
