they are plain, but very neat and COM
Portable; they run smoothly, ride east
ly, make no more noise than the ordi-
nary coach and they impart to the
passengers a sense of security that
makes them very popular. They
may be heavier than wooden coaches,

est in that except as it may afford
them better protection in case of acct

NO sMAsHUPs IN HOLLAND.
Only Ore Passenger Was Killed Dur.
ing Past Year.

Recently read in an English news
paper statement that there had been
but one passenger killed on the rail
roads of Holland during the past fiscal
year, and the paper, commenting on
this fact, suggested that American rail-
roads would find in this example some
thing to emulate. 1t is easy enough
to understand how the mortality from
accidents would be comparatively
small in Holland after one travels
upon some of the trains in that coun-
try, for they are exasperatingly slow,
and the people do not seem to be i'm
bued with the American desire to get
to their destination quickly, no matter
what the cost.
Yet there are other considerations
besides slow speed which must be
borne in mind in determining the rea-
sons why railroad travel is so much
safer in Holland than in America, the
excellence of roadbed equipment and
management being prime factors. The
cars used on the Dutch railroads are
practically the same as those found
elsewhere in Europe, and for short
journeys are very comfortable, and
are characterized by the same scrupu-
lous cleanliness which is found in
everything in that carefully groomed
country.

and Travellers Witnessed Rite.

Arthur Henry Bennett of 1871 Mas

Sam Engler, of Hoboken, telegram
that read:
Can you marry us in the Lacka-
wanna station this afternoon? If so,
meet us there at five o'clock Garry a
handkerchief in your left hand
The judge didn't know whether he
was being kidded or not, but with a
copy of the marriage form pasted in
copy of David Copperield,' he went
to the station. He saw a shy-looking
pair and Immediately took out his
handkerchief. The man came over
and introduced himself and then pre-
sented the girl, who, the man said,
was Miss Irene Messner, of haywood
Bergen county, N. j.
The Judge found man and his wife
who were waiting for a train to Buff
falo and got them to witness the per-
Torrance of the rite. When it was all
over the couple took a ferryboat for
New York, saying they were going to
Boston, where Bennett is a civil en-.
gineer.

maintain the city parks.
