RAIL WAY BUSINESS METHODS.

There are many silly things adopted
by railroads from business stand
point, unless the modes of doing busi-
ness in all other trades and calllngs
are wrong
One would imagine that railroads
are out for business, that they want
both freight and passengers. But a
study of their methods must convice
one that they want neither, but simply
accept what of both is forced on them
At this season of the year many pee

alton, and have pleasure. jamestown
is point to which many would go if
there were any inducement by the
railroads, or if the people could learn
anything of the trains. No decent
rate has been given to that point, and
there is no earthly way of finding out
what trains or how many. go there
daily from this or any other quarter.
unless perchance one would take day
off, sit by the railroad and count the
trains as they go by. Many people
would 60 from these parts to Atlantic
City or other seaside resorts, but the
difficulties thrown about the tickets
are so great, and the days upon which
anything but the regular rate tickets
can be purchased, are so few that per
SONS scarcely think of making the trip.
Take trip from Stanton to At
lantic City say. About two days in q
month tickets at reduced rates are
sold. Who or what number of people
can sit down and wait for those par
ticular days? Then the ticket has to be
deposited and "vised" so many times
that one must walk unnecessary miles
and regard himself much as thief be.
fore he gets back. The result is no
body goes. If profitable to the rail
ways to offer such rate on the 10Th
say, it would be equally profitable tc
offer 1t on the 18th, 18th or any day
between the 1st of July and the 1st OF
September. They make no extra prep
| aratlon for such travel, hence if not
carried at a loss one day it would not
be carried at loss another day. II
might suit many persons to 60 on tht
9Th who could not go on the 9th, though
the 9th might be the day an excursion
rate prevailed, hence the patronage
of those people is lost, and few eyel
know or hear of the special rate
Travel must be made cheap and easy

seem to learn. They labor to make il
distasteful, hard, dirty and expensive
A good many railroads need brains

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded diseasethat sciencehas been able
to cure in all it's stages, and that is Ca
tarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall s Catarrh Cure is taken IN
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroyingthe foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing it's work. The

rative powers, that they offer One Hun

cure. Send for list of testimonials.

WARNING TO THE STREET CARS.

The attention of the Street Car Co.
Is called to dangerous custom at the
Y. When the car comes In from
Plunkettsvllle and pauses just before
making the turn at the Y, persons
have been allowed to enter it there.
But on several evenings no sooner had
1t paused than the motorman appar-
emily with the intention of disap-
pointing those persons who expected
to enter it just in front of Mr.. Math-
ews' grocery store. started suddenly,
and moved the car round on Lewis
street. Persons who had gotten hold
OF the car on the occasions we saw
were In some instances dragged along.
II they were young and agile they got
on. but if not so their hold was broken
and one lady was thrown and her knee
hurt. This Is a dangerous practice.
and to avoid injuries the authorities
should either warn the people back or
the motorman should hold his car until
the people have entered.

Statistics for the seventeen days of racing of the Brooklyn Jockey club at the Gravesend track which ended on Wednesday show James R. Keene to be the leading winner. His horses did so well that his winnings amount to sJo.S700. or over s40,000 more than tho Oneck stable. which is second with s14.TJ0. Keene's great showing Is due to Superman's win of the Brooklyn handicap. Peter Pans success in the Brooklyn derby, while Zambesi. Phil lander. Court Dress and several others were also big winners. ]. E. sMadden is third. with xI4.OT0, won by King James and Dead Gone.
 Cohort Is the leading two-year old winner with s14.75O. while King James Is second with s1S.2o0. Four of the five leading three-year old winners are from the. Keene stable.

STILL SHAKING THEM UP.
Pitcher; ;Yerkes of the Local Team was
 Released To-day.

Pitcher Stanley Yerkes is the latest player to join the large colony of former Waterbury players. He was given his unconditional release this morning by Manager Durant Yerkes was another high priced man who was we'll worth the money he was getting if he would attend strictly to busi- ness. but report has 1t that Stanley was very popular player and his many friends persisted in entertain ing him too lavishly. The consequent ces were disastrous to the renowned twirler. He should catch on easily with some other team and accord ing to all former statistics he should make good. just as have all our re- leased players when they quit the ex- hilerating air and the tempting bev- erages of Waterbury.
 Eddie Swander was not in the game yesterday because he injured bis arm the day before in a collision with Bill Luby. Manager Durant received an offer from Manager 1eDeau. who owns the Denver, Kenosha and Louisville clubs to trade Harry o'Hagan for Swander. Manager Du- rant couldn't see 1t. as Swander is worth about seventy-five and two thirds O'Hagans. The report that George Lachance was going to Spring field to play the first station was also denied by Manager Durant. The big fellow will remain here for q time at least and perhaps he will come back Co his own within a week or SO. His many friends hope so at any rate.
 Report has 1t that the blue tag is being prepared for Cooney Rice, who came here to fill Tom McSeIl's shoes He has failed to do.that filling just as many believed he would. but he will be kept for a time too. until certain little business matters are adjusted. Two college players will arrive here shortly who are supposed to show Cooney just how that second base position should be playe,l and the fans are in hopes that they will be sue- eessful.
