NO GERMS LURK

ALL TRAINS ARE COMPLETELY
sTERILIZED AFTER EACH TRIP.
Formaldehyde Gas Bath Is Given Each

Deodorizing Apparatus Keeps Air as
Fresh as Out Of Doors.

Special to The Journal
New York, Nov. 5O.-Thc Chicago
Limited on the Erie road now leaves
Jersey City. daily thoroly sterilized
train. The daily routine Of sterihzaoz
tion at the end Of each round trip Of
1000 miles began Wednesday,.
Experiments to kill all disease germs
and destroy bad odors have been in
progress nearly a month. The Pullman
ding, clothing and hangings in their
cars on these trains shall be submitted
to the sterilizing process, as they are
satisfied it makes travelling in such
cars absolutely safe as to disease
infection.
The process consists in mixing two
chemicals SO that a sort of formalde-
hyde gas bath is given each car, which
is tightly closed for the purpose. After
the gas has done it's work the cars are
thoroly aired, swept, washed and dust
ed, so that each car leaves the station
absolutely free, from germs OF la grippe,
tuberculosis, fevers or contagious dls-
cases. This sterilizing process will soon
be extended to other thru Erie trains.
A deodorizing apparatus has also been
devised, that has been in use in fifteen
Erie club, parlor and commuters cars.
This apparatus is placed out Of sight
of passengers and gives off an odorless
gas, which nullifes stale tobacco smoke
or other offensive odors which may ac-
cumulate in the cars. This treatment
will be extended to all the passenger
cars in the Erie service. It is a process
that has never before been attempted in
railway service. After a night s treat
ment the air in the cars is as fresh as
that out of doors. M -.
Under the state laws Of Texas and
Kentucky, the sterilization of railroad
cars is compulsory at periods of from
three to fifteen days. The agitation is
now going on in Ohio. The Erie man
| agement, believing that such laws will
become general, has taken an antici-
patory step to make passenger equip
ment absolutely healthful as well as
| comfortable for it's patrons.

Another fight Of the long ago. in
which the dark skin Of one of the fight
ers was a handicap, was that between
Wiley Evans, colored and Con Doyle.
The pair had Il ont in the open with
extremely small gloves and it was a
rattling good fight, as both men We're
nearly top nOtchers. The crowd that
surrounded the ring was made up Of
Chicagoans and principally friends Of
Doyle, which did not bOde well for
