PENNSYL vANIA RAILROAD
MAINTAINING a STANDARD.

An extensive traveller returning from a recent trip
marked could readily tell when the Pennsylvania
Railroad Everything about the service is higher grade"
II this distinctive higher grade" that makes the Penn
syvania The Standard Railroad of America and that has
established IFS Worldwide reputation
TO maintain this standard the first railroad in the
country to steel rails to adopt the air brake to the
track tank to establish block signal system to naugurate
Limited train service with all its accessories and to operate
18-houT train between New York and Chicago.
To maintain this high standard it has stone-baased its
roadbed from New York to Chicago; it has built separate
and distinct freight line from New York to Pittsburgh; has
nneled the Hudson river and is building the handsomeS
passenger station in the world in thu heart of New York city,
That is maintaining its high standard in roadbed in
equipment in safeguards and in operation is aeSted by the
entire absence of fatalities on its lines in the year 1903 and
by the marvellous record of the Pennsylvania Special for the
past four ye4rsabsoluey on time at New York and Chicago
winter and summer on 50 days out of every 100.
The service of the Pennsylvania Railroad is inevitably
the criterion with which al others are compared.

broken so that the axle was let down

good condition when the races started.
There was a bad place where the track
crosses a ditch. he admitted. but he
did not think that played any part in
the accident The car was going sew
enty miles an hour when the axle plates
were broken.
Coroner Blackwell piled the witnesses
with questions to prove that the races
were put on before the track was I'm
ished. Fisher admitted that this was
so.
Us 1t a fact that you did not have
time to complete the track?" asked the
coroner.
Yes, that is true, replied the wit
ness.
You were expecting an accident Of
some kind, were you not, and for that
reason you had the hospital built
there?"
yes, sir"
When asked how much longer It would
have taken to get the track into shape,
Fisher said il would never have been
in perfect condition, as a gang Of men
was kept constantly busy when the
races We're not in progress.

EXCELLENT HITS
MADE SUNDAY
IN SHOOT


on Sunday, the Bisbee Rifle club
shot for tho marksman decoration Of
fered by the National Rifle associa-
ton. This is neat lapel button OF
bronze and is given annually to an
citizen of the United States, who can
make so points out Of a possible IS
at 200, 500 and 500 yards, on the regu-
lation targets, with the military ri
file. FNC. Hurst won the shoot.
Last year, only one civilian club in
the country qualified more marksmen
than the Bisbee Rifle club, and the
local riflemen believe there are
enough good shots here to put them in
the lead this year. Consequently m
til the end Of die shooting season the
range win be open every Sunday to
anyone who desires to qualify and
military rifles and ammunition can be
had at the range.
The match on Sunday was shot un-
der difficult weather conditions. There
was a gusty wind blowing across the
range that made it impossible to hold
steadily in the off-hand position at
200 yards and there was dust and
mirage at times while shooting on
the 500 yard targets.
Hurst was not only high man in the
match, but afterward in practice.
turned in a score of 40 at 500 yards.
which equals the high score for that
distance made by Fisher some months
ago, and Cunningham's score of 25
at the same range has preceded By
two SIS. which made seven conseeu-
tive bulls eyes.
Next Sunday, October "a, the club
will shoot the same ranges to give
those who have not yet qualified, an
other opportunity to do SO, and also
to afford practice for the medal match
which will be held October 81.
This match is for the medal offer
ed by the National Rifle association.
and was won by Basset Watkins last
yea.
The scores made on Sunday are as
