Commerce Laws. The situation
was carefully studied by high Of
ficials of the road aud it was deter
mined to take such action as would
be convincing to all freight agents
and solicitors of the road and to the
public that under no circumstances
will the management of the com

infringements of the law Now if

Much interest has been excited
by the results obtained through
wireless communication from the
cruiser on which the President sail
ed from the mouth of the Missis-
sippi to Washington. These re-
suits will be carefully compiled and
studied. Meanwhile i. is interest
ing to know that under the contro.
of the signal service here wireless
line has for some time been operat-
ing successfully in Alaska between
Nome and St. Michael, and it is
said that it is the only wireless sys-
TEN in the world regularly operated
as a part of telegraph outfit hand
ling commercial business. Its
course is Io7 miles and on August
6, 1904, it had completed year of
uninterrupted service 1t has hand

business amounting to an average
of several thousand words. In all,
more than a million words were
sent during the year Ga large num-
Der of them being commercial code
words) and no error has been
traced to this wireless section. On
one occasion in single hour, there
were transmitted over this wireless
distance two thousand words with
out error or repetition. When it is
considered that even the best ocean
steamers having wireless offices find
it difficult to communicate beyond
a distance of forty or fifty miles,
the remarkable Success of the A

NEW YORK TRIPS.
Readings Superb Swift Service.

Numerous comments have heen
| made on the iiunr Nvement in travel
ing facilities in the United States,
but in no instance is It more ,trik-
ing than i'll the service betw EN-
Philadelphia and New York.
In the earlier days of railroading
the trip between the two cities was
quite a serious undertaking, and a
long, uncomfortable ride. AS years
rolled on the time was shortened
and numerous improvements made
Tor the comfort of travellers, but
one of the greatest innovations was
made by the Reading system on
May 1S, 1902. when they inaugu-
rated their unique system of Fast
Express Trains leaving Reading
Terminal, Philadelphia, and Liber-
ty Street. New York, EVERY
| Hour ON THE HOUR"
This great innovation with the
addition of Pullman Parlor Cars on
all express trains and Cafe Cars at
| appropriate hours, widely advertis
ed under the catch phrase of "Ev-
ERY TINE THE CLOCK STRIKES"
Immediately attracted the attention
of the travelling public and they
soon learned by experience what
superb accommodations tue Read =
ing System arranged for its patrons.
This year two notable improve
ments were made to the New York
Service, Dining Cars and the New
23d Street Ferry.
Dining Cars are now run cn two
appropriate trains each way, Morn
ing, Noon and Night, a capital
Table d hote Dinner being served
on Evening Cars at rate of 81 90
per capita and A La Carte Break
fast and Lunch Morning and Noon.
June 25th the New Ferry House
at the foot of West 23rd Street, New
York, was opened, giving special
accommodation for uptown visitors
23d Street being a great shopping
centre and close to most of the Ho-
tells and Theatres. At the ferry
Electric Cabs can be secured at
moderate rates, or passengers can
take the cars of the Metropolitan
Street Railway, under cover, con.
Meeting to all parts of New York.
In addition to this, the Street Rail
way on October 25d commenced
running through cars between the
Ferry and Grand Central Station
every four minutes from 1880 A. NJ.
to 100 P. NJ.

The Idle Rich in America

The poor soul who has such
heaps of money that he does not
know what to do with himself is al
most as much the sport and prey of
the winds that blow as the tramp,
who, though he recks not whence
his dinner may come, takes life as
he finds it and makes himself merry
on the highway. The idle million
aire, whether he has title or not,
must follow the fashion if he would
keep in the swim; and to keep in
the swim is the one objective point,
Fer him the year is subdivided,
laid out in regular parterre, like an
Italian garden, and he must even
fulfill his destiny as gentl cman of
wealth and leisure. He is rarely
happy, He buys a palace, lives in
it awhile, and goes away 80
awful dreary, doncherknow." He
buys a yacht, tires of it, sells it,
and buys another. Nothing like
the water, doncherknow." The
automobile craze caught him where
he was weakest-for fast, fast, fast
er is the aim-and he is now scud-
ding and scorching over the worlds
byways, having found a new and
costly toy-a veritable Flying
Dutchman, only on the land not on
the water.
In word, fortunes favorite is
never happy except when it is CIV
ing proof that he can spend more
money than his rival, yet wretched
when he finds how little it brings
him, either of distinction or diver
sion. Henry Watterson in the
