REMARKABLE RECORD.
No Passenger Ever Killed on Illinois
Central Suburban Trains.

Fifty-one years the greatest suburban
railroad system I'm the world and never
killed q passenger! This is the record OF
the Illinois Central Railroad. The books
of this company show that there has
never been a person killed while a pas
.senger on any Of its suburban trains. BY
this is meant that nobody has ever been
killed by a derailment, collision, explosion.
wreck, or any other accident while the
patron was on the train as a passenger.
This is certainly a remarkable state
ment and beats the Trademark of a we'll
known transatlantic steamship COM
pany which has advertised for years that
II never lost a life, because this applies
to a few big vessels making periodical
trips. while the Illinois Central Railroad,
in its suburban system, operates 2lS trains
daily ana carries an average Of 1900, coo
passengers yearly-the largest suburban
proposition in the world The deathless
record is emphasized when 1t is remem-
bered that during the Chicago World S
Fair Il, 1898, 600 persons were handled by the
Illinois Central suburban trains in six
months. or at the rate of over 56000.0O0 a
year. and that on one day, Chicago Day.
October 3. 1888. the record for these trains
was 4l7.000 persons.
The suburban system of the Illinois
Central Railroad was established in 1856,
with three trains In each direction be
tween Randolph street and Hyde Park,
the latter point then being the place
where the company maintained Its wood
pile.
The first year of this service the receipts
were Sl.0S9 Until 1861 the trains showed a
loss. and in that year public notice of
their discontinuance was given. This no
tice was afterward withdrawn and traiiss
continued with yearly loss until 1915.
when profits began TO be registered. Dur
ing the Worlds Fair this company main
tanned the fastest suburban trains ever
operated. running from Van Buren, street
to Hyde Park, six miles. in nine minutes.
The first and only side door cars are a fea-
tuTe OF this system now, and so soon as a
perfect electrical power has been evolved
steam as a motive power tor the Illinois
Central suburban trains will probably be
abandoned. One of the reasons for the re-
markabIe operation OF this system is the
fact that the company has a clear right
of way along the lake front, and main-
tains four tracks exclusively for suburban
trains The ride along the blue waters
/ OF Lake Michigan morning and evening is
also a magnet that holds patrons to the
/ line.

the big cities Of the State have taken the
matter up edit0rially since Representative
Burton formally launched the boom, and
their comment, which is said to repre-

for the Secretary of War.
Indications point TO a, practically unani-
