guards collect tickets from the passen-
gers as they alight, and at the ter
minals the entire train is held until
all tickets are collected. the guards al
ways displaying great poiiteness. even
though kept waiting through mislay-
ing of tickets.
Goods" Trains.
All freight trains are known as
goods" trains, and none of these
goods cars are longer than II feet or
have a capacity of over eight tons. The
great majority are open, and canvas is
used as a covering. All of these cars
run on four wheels, similar to wagon
wheels, one under each corner of the
car.
London Omnibus.
In speaking of the London omnibus,
DIR. Reed says: The London omnibus
is a never 10 be forgotten creation, two
stories high with the circular stair
case at the rear. the first floor holding
II passengers and the second 20, the
upper floor much preferred because of
the view and better ventilation, al
though one must be content to sit and
breathe in the fumes of tobacco of all
varieties and from pipes of all ages
No passengers are admitted unless
there is seat Here DR. Reed hui
morously referred to the various adver-
tisements, which completely cover the
omnibus. most of these being of Amer
lean firms who realize that abroad
are people with ills and money and
for people of both these qualifications
patent medicine advertisers are look
ing Every passenger gets a receipt
for fare paid in the omnibus. In re-
ferring to the calling out of streets
and places. DIR. Reed says: One must
know the answer before he asks the
question, as it is impossible to under
stand the guard, who speaks Ian
guage of his own. All omnibuses drive
to the left when passing others. and 90
at brisk trot, making IL exceedingly
dangerous for a traveller not accustom-
ed TO this mode TO cross the street.
street Cars
In North London there is only one
car line, and that has horse cars. while
in South London were electric cars. but
none of them" said DR.. Reed, equal
to those in the tri-cities''
In speaking of the Irish jaunting

car. prevalent in Ireland, DIR. Reed
said: Il paid As cents for ride on
a jaunting car. but after half hours
ride | had all the jaunting car / want
ed. the lack of comfort overruling the
thought of the novelty The little
gray donkeys are much used in Ire
land and wonderful help to the peas
ants. DR. Reed concluded his talk with
a humorous recital of the farewell of Il
French couple at a depot in Paris, quite
different from that practiced here.
Another talk will be given at the
church Thursday, Oct. 49, on the Brit
ish Museum. Tower of London, and
Westminster Abbey.

TALK ON Travel
Or. II. W. Reed Tells Of Expert.
ences While on Trip
Abroad.
HAS A FUND OF ANECDOTES
Railway Trains in Europe Vastly Diff
ferent From Those Of America
London Omnibuses.

| An instructive as well as highly en-
tertaining talk was given at the First
Baptist church last evening by Rev III.
w. Reed, in which he related some of
his experiences during his travels
abroad. with a detailed account of var
ious kinds of conveyances used by in
habitants in England, Ireland and
Scotland. He said that all passenger
cars have the entrances on the sides,
with no end platforms, and each car
| is divided into compartments. the walls
of which usually reach TO the ceiling.
but in some cases go only part way.
When passengers enter the compart-
ments-none of which holds more than
five persons - il has been stated
the guard locks the door, but
but this is misrepresentation, as he
only closes the door to prevent it from
flying open when the train is in mo-
ton. using a leather strap as latch.
The passenger within can easily open
the door by letting down the window
above the entrance and then reaching
out his hand and unlatching.
Three Classes.
Compartments of cars are labeled
first. second and third class. and it is
not considered any humiliation in that
land TO ride third class. Waiting rooms
and dining rooms at the stations are
also labeled the same as the compart-
ments, and passengers must enter the
rooms corresponding with their tickets
of passage. There is very little differ
ence in the comfort to be found when
travelling in the different Classes, but
first class compartments. as rule,
give one more privacy, as fewer pas
sengers ride first class.
Every traveller must hunt up his own
compartment. There are no conduc-
tors to guide you. There is no cheek
system. and passenger must attend to
all the details of having the trunk con
veyed to and from the train, and is expect
ed TO tender tips 10 all who assist in the
handling of the baggage which is there
known as luggage. This absence of a
check system presents a great chance
for dishonesty. because a traveller,
wishing to take another persons trunk,
needs only to arrive first and describe
the property and it will be handed
over to him.
Drinking Water Scarce.
One noticeable feature in England
Is the scarcity of good drinking water
When you get it. it is two or three
days old and decidedly warm and in
sipid. One restaurant in England,
which was said to be run on the Amer
lean plan, was distinguished because
a whole pitcherful of ice water was
placed in the center of each table,
which was considered wonderful benev-
olence.
There are no conductors to collect
tickets. At Intermediate stations the |

DR., Miles Nervine has been successfully
tried in thousands OF cases OF nervous disor-

when used in the treatment of fits or spasms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and In
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the first dose OF Nev;
vine was given. The statement is repeated
in the following: 8,
"Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and l called in my
home physician and he said she was para.

gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in q short time she bad

Presidents Message on Marriage
and Divorce.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The Presi-
dent today sent to the Senate the
following message relating to the
subject of statistics on marriage and
divorce in the several States:
81 call the attention of the Con-
gress to the fact that no statistics
have been collected by the Federal
government uron the subject OF
marriage and divorce since the year
1856, and that but few of the States
have provisions for the collection OF
such statistics.
1.-The institution Of marriage Is,
Of course, at the very foundation of
our social organization, aud all in
tiuences that affect that Institution
a:e of vital concern to the people
OF tie whole country. There Is 8
widespread conviction that the di.
vorce laws are dangerously lax In
some Of the States, resulting In a
diminishing regard for the sanctity
OF the marriage relation.
"Ihe nope IS entertained that CO.
operation among the several States
can be secured to the end that there
may be enacted upon the subject of
marriage aud divorce uniform laws
containing all possible safeguards for
the security Of the family. ]ntelli
gent and prudent action in that di-
rection will be greatly promoted by
securing reliable and trustworthy
statistics On marriage and divorce.
/ deem the matter of sufficient
general Importance to recommend
that the director of the census be
authorized by appropriate legisla
tion to collect and publish statistics
pertaining to the subject covering
the period from 1886 to the present
time."
