Fresh Air in Trains.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has been
experimenting for some time and has at
last practically effected device for sup
plying railroad cars with an abundance
of clean cool air, free from dust and Gin
ders. The method consists Of an appara-
tus which takes a supply of fresh air from
the outside. bring 1t into the car through
ea,lze covered hoods and the air is either
cool or heated as the case may be. and
distributed by pipes running under the
cars. opening under each scat. This de-
vice will supply GO.G)O cubic feet OF air
per hour, and will give each passenger
aIproxinatelyl,01 900 cubic feet In a Pullman
1t will give each passenger about 1000
cubic feet. as the proportion of passcn-
gers is smaller. This method, 1t Is ul-
derstood, works perfectly well whether
the car is standing still or In motion,
| and,if 1t Is finally provedAto be efficient,
the public OF America viii only have to

A London Scandal.

| The London correspondent ofathe New
York Sun says that the immediate and
enormous success Of the new restaurant
! In Piccadilly, where decent meals at
moderate prices may be obtained, ana
where tipping Is really forbidden, has
started in the press q discussion OF the
never long dormant question of tipping.
II has developed in n remarkable law
suit now pending In which discharged
cloak room attendant brought an action
against the Carlton Hotel for esq. which
he claimed as his proportion OF CLOAK
room tips appropriated by the hotel man
agement that the most outrageous sys-
TEN Of tipping to which the hotel Itself
was a party has for years been going on.
The evidence showed that the claimant
received five shillings a week as wages
and his salary was made up by the weekly
division of tips among the attendants ac--
cortng to their position and length OF
service But before the employees Of the
cloak room divided the contents OF the
cloak room tip box, the management each
week deducted G1S, to which it contended
the employees had agreed. The claimant
denied this statement, and the result was
that the jury awarded him 600
# IT appears that the management deducts
a proportion Of all tips given to the en-
p.oyes of the hotel, and counsel, after
examining the books, estimated that the
management had obtained in this way
$500 during the eighteen months the
claimant was in It's service. It is further
alleged that tips in the main restaurant ~.
alone OF the Carlton Hotel amounted 10
e1G,ooo in one year. .5
The whole system is OUTRAGEOUS, peins
an indirect way Of charging guests m
excess Of schedule prices. It amounts
In. fact. 10 a sort of ilold-up arrangement
and ought not to be tolerated by the pub
lie. II a guest chooses to give a waiter
nm extra fee for extra service, It IS ms
own affair, but when he is compelled 70
do SO BY the established rule Of the house
he is outrageously imposed upon ana
robbed of his money.

Pensions for Policemen.

When police officer becomes physi-
cslly disabled, it is necessary in the IN
teregt of the public service that lie be re-
tired. and an able-bodied man put In his
place. A police officer who is broken
down in health or wqrnout by age IS
unable to meet the requirements OF the
position and the city cannot afford to
keep him on duty. But it is a great hard
ship for a policeman who has Worn him
self out in the service OF the city, who
has. during long term faithfully dis.
charged his duties, to be thrown out upon
the cold charities OF the world to get
along az best he may The disabled
policemen in Richmond would be in a
pitlful prcdicament, surely. If 1t were not
for the Police Benevolent Association, OF
which Mr.. L. Z. Morris Is president. This
association was organized several years
ago and has now accumulated sum of
$4,000 which is being increased from
month 10 month by payments from the
members of the police force. But these
payments are not sufficient 10 meet the
demands and the citizens of Richmond
are requested and expected TO make year
~ contributions. 1t is clearly in the
public interest that this be done. With
out come means OF taking care OF dis
abled policemen the Police Commission
ers would find themselves frequently in
a most embarrassing situation. They
could not find ii In their hearts to turn
such an officer out to starve, yet 10 re-

Educational Progress.

THO Co-operative Education Commission
of VIRGINIA Is never idle, but IS always
,aborjng in the cause which 1t SO iallh-
fully represents. 1t is now preparing 1or
meeting to be held in Norfolk on De-
cember 9Th and 7th. and the programme
has been arranged. Several OF the most
DISTINGUISHED educators In the State have
consented 10 make addresses, and the
meeting will be one Of the most instruc-
five and inspiring ever held in behalf Of
popular education.
DR.. Edwin a. Alderman. president of
the University. will speak on THE Ed
ucation of All the People,
DR.. George H. Denny, president Of
Washington and Lee University, VIII
speak on What the Higher Institutions
May Do for the Public Schools"
Dr.. w. W. Smith, president. of the
Randolph Macon Womans College, will
speak on "The Public Schools and the
Higher Education of Women"
Bishop A. N. Randolph Will speak on
'vrhe Church and the Public Schools"
General F'itzhugh Lee will speak on

sition."
II would be hard to make up a more
attrac tive programme for such an coca
sion, and 1t goes without saying that
the meeting will give a great impetus to
public education in Virginia.
