The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
experienced some difficulty in arrang-
ing a way to accommodate the public
at its station TO eliminate con-
jestion as much as possible IN order to
dispose of the incoming crowds.
The gates leading into the station are
kept locked and the passengers arriving
are ushered out the carriage way to the
side. From the e.ige of the building to
the street d line is formed for persons
expecting visitors.
The waiting room at the station is
used for the passengers leaving the city
and those who are waiting for friends
to come for them.
Have Rough Time
The officials of the road have a rough
time of it. Everybody thinks the Off
cial is employed for his or her use and
proceeds to ask questions impossible to
answer and becomes indignant should
the official reply gruffiy.
The bureau of information is where
employees catch the most of the com
plants. On account of the fact, the
superintendent of the road was forced
TO have a substation at the New York
avenue
People who have been waiting in tbs
station probably three or four hours
watching the hands Of time turn slowly
to the hour when the expected friends

start for the side entrance to see the
engine steam in.
After waiting for the crowd of some 9th

At the Pennsylvania Station
The Pennsylvania station was the

was a constant throng arriving on

No more spectacular feature occurred
than when the crowd broke through
the lines after the various parades.
large and small, had passed and
swarmed into Pennsylvania avenue.
Except that 1t was slower, these
movements of the crowds resembled
the onward rush of water after the
breaking of a dam. To those III the
upper stories of buildings along the
route the sight was of absorbing inter
est.
In some unaceountable manner the
spectators would move in unison, the
police would be brushed aside. and in a
twinkling the middle of the street
would be full of people. Once started,
there was no stopping the rush. Vainly
the police would go back and forth
across the advancing wall of humanity,
urging, pleading, threatening, but all to
no purpose. Those in front could not
resist the impulse Of those behind ana
foot by foot they would gain upon the
guardians of the peace until the blue
coats would give up IN despair ana let
the crowd have its will
Good Nature Prevails.
The utmost good nature prevailed in
these encounters between the law and
the passive resistance of the pepulace.
and there were few arrests or fsticuffs.
When another band was heard coming
the people instinctiveIy crowded to the
sidewalk allowed themselves to be
pushed back. the ropes We're stretched

A striking and picturesque example
of the method in breaking through the
lines was to be seen when the ropes
gave way after the parade escorting the

His Suicide
