TO see the railroads paying so little al
tsntion 20 the comforts o. the second
class passengers said Harold T Weeks.
Of Cincinnati. Ohio. last evening al the
Riggs House
In the old days, when We had no par
Ior cars. We used 20 get acquainted with
men on the trains. and every one pronted
by the free interchange OF ideas on cur
rent topics. Now We get into a chair or
par,or car. and there Is an exclusive
stiffness about all the passengers which
entirely destroys The possibility Of those
good old-fashioEed talks on matters OF
interest 10 all business men

ETY. day coaches il We wished 20. but the
roads are paying 50 little attention 10
their second-class rolling stock the cars
are no longer comfortable OF even clean
on many lines.
Aside from this. the travelling man
whose expenses are paid by his house 5
instructed 10 ride in the Pullman coaches.
and L one should break away from them
and go back in the day coach his COM
peJitors would say that his house must
be pretty hard Up.
Thus we are forced 10 travel IN style
and be lonesome just because the parior
car IS the vogue.
