TIME TABLES IN
NEWSPAPERS NO MORE,

Beginning with the first of the year
the skeltonized time tables Of the rail-
roads centering in Philadelphia will be
Withdrawn from the newspapers.
For many years it has been the
custom Of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
the Reading and the Baltimore and
Ohio daily to advertise the time of de.
parture Of their more important trains.
After Tuesday these advertisements
will be withdrawn.
According to report, this move will
be made at the instance of the man
agement Of the Pennsylvania, whichis
Understood to have decided that the
bureaus Of information established in
stations, hotels andsother public places
are sufficient for the need of travellers
The decision reached by the Pennsyl-
vania was approved by the Reading
and B. and 0. officials. It is believed
by railroad men that the innovation
will also be adopted by other roads
including the New York Central and
the larger Western lines.
Last year the Pennsylvania Railroa ad
had printed and distributed IL, 900. 900
time tables. The management is said
to hold that these millions of folders
were suf1cientto advertise their trains
without recourse to the newspapers.
Prior to 1906, the railroads made
payment for newspaper advertising
on a basis Of one-half in cash and one
half in transportation. Last January
owing to legislative restrictions and
the enforcement Of the Interstate Com
merce laws, the railroad companies
considered it advisable to withdraw
transportation privileges and pay their
advertising bills with cash. Then, of
course, the newspapers put the rail-
road on the same basis as any other
class of advertisers.
While it is true that the railroads
have established many bureaus of in.
formation and distributed millions of
| folders, it is believed by many persons
who travel frequently that the news
paper time table is something akin
to a necessity. In the suburbs and in
many city residences may always be
found a newspaper whero telephone
| connections with information bureaus
and racks of folders are wanting.

Steam Trains Are Off Schedule,


Atlantic City, Dec. 29.-Prominent
and influential members of the Hotel
mems Association, which organization
has protested in vain to the West Jer-
sey & Seashore Railroad and the
Pennsylvania against the failure to
list steam trains upon its seashore
schedules, have taken legal advice and
will, it is rumored. make sensational
move to unearth the cause for the
strange discrimination. 1t is declared
10 he studied effort to cut out steam
travel in favor of the electric road,
which but small proportion of the
travelling public favors, and then only
because it is a trifle cheaper.
Proprietors Of some of the largest
hotels and many business men are up
in arms over the strange situation.
which they declare is open discrimi-
nation against the resort, as no infor-
nation concerning steam trains can
be found upon any of the company's
time tables, which is detrimental to
travel to the resort.
AS a result of investigation, hotel
men, who are likewise stockholders in
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
have discovered that ticket agents on
the Amboy and other New Jersey di-
visions have information of no other
than electric trains from the Camden
terminal, and that thus nearly all State
traffic is diverted to the third rail line.
Lawyers, now conversant with the
facts. declare that whil4 the West Jer-
sey & Seashore elect Ic line is using
the title and good will Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, the line has not been
actually turned over TO the Pennsy
stockholders, but it still held and oper-
ated as an alleged experiment by the
company that constructed it for cleo
trio travel, and in which concern
several men prominent in the direct
ing of Pennsylvania affairs are heavily
interested.

watch and a suit case.
The girls name is Virgie Hickman,
and when it was discovered that she
was probably thief. the case was
Eut in the hand of Constable E. E
Reeves, and he was informed that the
girl might possibly go to MillviIIe.
The Constable was informed the girl
had a bundle, and he did not know
that she was carrying a dress suit
case.
Offlcer Reeves took the O'Clock car
for Millville, but there was no girl
upon it answering the description Of
the one he was looking for. He got
OFF the car at East Bridgeton and
walked back. When on East Com
merce street he noticed young
woman answering the description of
Virgle Hickman, but she was carry

the residence OF H. L. Adams the girl
saw Reeves anu she hurrledly entered
the Adams ward and disappeared in
the darkness. Reeves made a search
of the property but could not find the
girlsand he came on down town.
The Constable then took the 9
O'Clock car for MilIville, and at East
Bridgeton the same girl boarded the
car. She had the suit case. Reeves
took seat beside the girl and began
to question her. She answered the
questions but was soon hopelessIy
mixed up in her story. Reeves seemed
certain the girl was the one he was
after, and he examined the contents
of the suit case. His suspicious were
confirmed. and he took the girl in Gus
tody. brought her back to the city,
and remanded her before Justice of
the Peace David M. Bowen
Inc girl admitted the truth of thu
allegations made against her and said
that Henry West. blacksmith, told
her to get the things, take them over
to Millville where he would meet her
and he would give her $l5 for the lot.
West denies this and declares he has
no knowledge of the case
A further examination will be given

A dense fog prevailed at the time of
the wreck. There was wild excite

was great confusion.
For $50 yards on either side of the
track dead bodies were strewn and
wa them lay dying aud injured men
and women.
Senator Redtield Proctor, of Yer
mont, was reported killed, but this
report arose from confusion with the
name of another Proctor who lost his

American IdeaIism.

Since my first arrival in America
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average Individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Liucoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the loftiest ideal
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty Seemed to give
him a far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers of his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, in
Forum.
