HOW IT WILL BE DOME.
Wabash to Run "Shuttle Trains" to
Worlds Fair Grounds.

In arranging it's plans for handling
traffic during the st. Louis Worlds fair,
the Wabash railroad IS having fifty To-
comotiveS remodeled, SO that cars can
be coupled at either end. The company
has contracted for $50 steel underframe
coaches, which will be used exclusively
in the shuttle trains to be operated by
the road between the union depot and
the Worlds fair grounds
In general construction these coaches
will resemble the models built by the
Illinois Central for suburban use and
described at length in these columns
feet long. On each side will be four
large doors, opening, from the ends of
transverse aisles. These doors will be
SO regulated that thye can be opened
simultaneously by the turning of a lever
at the end of the car.
Officials of the Wabash expect to
break all records in the handling of pas
senger traffic by their system of I'M
loading and loading these shuttle trains.
The seating capacity of each coach will
be 120 and it will be possible to place
thirty more in the aisles in case of a
rush.
Two tracks will be devoted exclu-
sively to these shuttle trains in the
union depot" an official of the Wabash
said yesterday, land two more will be
used exclusively for them in our ter
minal station in the fair grounds One
platform will be used exclusively for
Tic 4OdQlLS I'll lAAC Il ellis anu Tic Ol1CI,
separated from it by fence, will be
used for unloading. The platforms for
the shuttle trains will be built directly
at the entrance to the fair grounds.
This is the manner in which we ex-
pect to do some record breaking loading
and unloading. When a shuttle train
comes into the fair station the depot
guard will open the doors of the dis
charging side of the train, and, we fig
ure from the size of the doors and the
fact that no passengers to board the
train will block the way, that the en-
tire train of ten cars can be unloaded
in twenty seconds.
LAS the passengers are leaving the train
the guard on the loading side will open
the doors and allow passengers to enter.
We have estimated that it would be
possible to run a train out of the fair
station every minute, although we in
tend to schedule them only every two
minutes. We can load $50 passengers on
every car, or at the rate Of $4,000 every
hour. With the coaches averaging only
100 passengers 10000 passengers can be
taken care of every hour.
I'VE figure that passengers will not
object to standing during the rush
hours, as the trip will be made in ten
minutes, and no annoyance will be
caused by the conductor pushing
through to collect fares. No one will be
allowed on the train until he has de-
posted his ticket in the box at the turn
stile. This will expedite the handling
Of great crowds and viii prevent the
customary confusion"

When You Have a Gold.

The first action when you have a cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use Of
Chamberlains Cough Remedy. This rem
