EARLIEST RAILWAY TICKETS.
Passengers Waybills-How They
Were Filled Out and Used.

From the Railway Magazine.
The earliest railway tickets differed en-
tirely from those now In use. The book
ing clerk was furnished with a volume,
the pages of which were divided down the
center by. a perforated line. the outside
half of each page was again divided into
slips about four inches long by an inch
and three-quarters in width. on each of
which was printed the name of the Is
suing station: spaces were provided in
which the clerk had to write the destina-
ton, passengers name, date of issue and
the time the train was due to depart
One Of these slips, duly filled in, was
detached from the book and handed over
70 each would-be passenger in exchange
for his fare.
The traveller, having thus obtained his
ticket was passed on to the guard of the
train by which he desired to travel This
official was provided with kind of way
bill on which he entered particulars of all
his passengers in much the same way
that a parcel is served nowadays.
Incidentally the similarity of treatment
did not always end there. the third-class
passengers had to travel in an open car
riage. frequently nothing more than
goods truck attached to train which
carried both passengers and goods, more
or less Unfortunately.

1.-THE statement of the associated banks
of the city of New York for the week
ending November 20 showed unimportant
changes compared with the previous
weeks eXhibit-that is. taking the report
of actual conditions as a basis. The av-
erage statement. which reflected opera
lions already included in the actual state
ment of November 13. showed very heavy
changes in leading items, loans having
decreased $21, COS, 800 and deposits ST.
O93 300, while the loss in cash was re-
ported at little over $4,OOO.QOO.
In the statement of actual conditions,
however, which is considered to show the
real standing of the banks at the end OF
the week, loans expanded $391.9OO.. The
cash decrease was $1,5399SO, or little
more than half the sum the earlier esti-
mates had indicated. Deposits fell S.
49, 300, and reserve decreased $931, S25,
making the present surplus $3.50. $50.
The statement of the state banks and
trust companies in Greater New York
not reporting to the New York clearing
house showed an increase of $1,173.2OO in
loans, a decrease of little more than one
and one-half millions in cash. and de-
crease of So, ia, 800 in net deposits.
An interesting feature of the statement
of averages and the actual statement of
clearing house banks is that the totals
Of each compared with the other show
almost exactly the same amounts, so far
as all leading items are concerned. and
that the cash reserve figures out only
$4,000 difference in the two methods Of
computing the statement.

Boutwell, and Queen Mary.


Dunrobin Castle was the scene of q
discovery a few years ago Of document
relating to Mary Queen OF Scots, which,
had II seen the light when poor Mary
Stuart was about to commit the browning
act Of folly In marrying Boutwell,. would
have changed the whole Intercourse of
her life. The document was the original
dispensation granted by the Vatican to
Lady Jane Gordon to enable her to marry
her cousin. the Earl of Boutwell,. When
the latter wanted to espouse his sovereign
he declared his union with Lady Jane
Gordon null and void on the ground OF
their relationship and obtained a divorce.
The assumption is that Lady Boutwell,
was only too glad to get rid OF the aris-
rocratic blackguard she called husband, for
she must have had the dispensation. the
production of which would have made
her marriage valid and prevented Mary's
taking place. That she had 1t IL proved
by its being found in the charter room, at
Dunrobin, where it had lain for three
centuries and whittier she doubtless
brought it on her second marriage In
1873 to Alexander. Earl Of Sutherland,

Panic.

Panic reigned-men spoke in whispers.
or not at ALL women sobbed. and little
children chung terrified to their mothers
skirts. Manifestly a great evil impended.
Was it famine. general failure of the
fruits of the earth? No, for these had
never promised more bountifully.
Pestilence, then? Not that. either-the
public health was as sound rs possible.
None Of these, nor war, nor riot.
But the president Of the Great Overland
railway had a headache. and his tempera-
ture was a tenth of a degree higher than
it should be. and the newspapers couldn't
keep still. and the nation was a CONNER

and the piper had to be, paid by some

Ignored by Railway Companies.


Commissioner Lane of the interstate

conclusion as to the future of the Dis
trict electric railway commission, which
is now composed of Thomas w. Smith
and District Commissioner West. The
latter has resigned, to take effect Janu-

This will leave Mr. Smith the sole sur

which. 1t Is said, has been consisten
and persistently ignored by the local rail-
way companies in It's efforts to act as an in
termediary for the interstate commerce
commission in carrying out the provisions
OF the act of May %, 1908.
Whether the interstate commerce COM
mission will give in TO the railway COM
panies and dissolve the District electric
railway commission. or. by the designa-
ton of one or more of its own special
agents for the purpose, deal directly with
them, as 1t is claimed they have demand
ed from the start. Is not yet settled.
Commissioner West is believed to be of
the opinion that the intermediary COM
mission plan of dealing with the railways
Is not a glittering success, but whether he
leans to the plan of employing direct spe-
cial agents of the interstate commerce
commission has not yet been made clear.
II would seem. however from the fact
that the District Commissioners wish the
powers conferred by the act of May 90

that they are committed to that method
Of regulating the operation of the local

Gen John NJ. Wilson. former chairman
of the District electric railway commits
sion. resigned several months ago. He
has made no public utterance upon the
subject. but some who have talked with
him say he Is inclined to prefer the plan
of having an agent or officer of the inter-
state commerce commission specially des-
ignated to care for the railway situation
as the only practical and effective way.
