Caboose With a Record.

"The caboose with the farthest north record" said H. H. Spaulding of Pittsburg, 'is now resting in digni- fled retirement at Shohola, Pa. It is one of the show places of that com munity.
 When Peary was preparing his ex- petition of about twelve years ago he obtained from the Erie railroad one of those dumpy little cabooses that manage to shelter in some marvellous manner a crew of five or six men. This was put on board the Windward. his vessel, as a temporary deckhouse. The people of Shohola know more about this expedition that they do about the one on which Peary found the pole. They will tell you that the dismantled car was used as a shelter by Peary and his companions during the winter night which they spent at Etah. So the car evidently holds the record for journey to the northern attitudes"

china,s Railroad School.

An indication of the interest taken by the central government in the flu ture of railways in China is afforded by the establishment last year, in connection with the ministry of com munications at Pekin, of school for training railway officials.
 The school Is built for 600 students, but the number Is at present limited to $50, who come from all parts of the empire and vary in age from eighteen to twenty-five. There are about 30 teachers, including one British, one American Ca drill sergeant), two French and two German. Most of the teachers are Chinese students re- turned from abroad and they are we'll paid.
 The curriculum includes the Chi nese language, drill, geography, his- tory of Chinese railways, mathemat- ics, drawing, chemistry, physics, traf- fic management, railway bookkeeping, clements of engineering, steam and electrical, workshop administration and railway company law.-Pan Mall Gazette.

Cuban Railroad Enterprise.

President Gomez of Cuba has con- tracted with the Ferrocarril de Fer nandez & Placetas del Sur, corpora tion organized for constructing a 40- vile railroad, connecting the two places indicated in the company's s title, and has leased it to the old Trim idad railroad, which runs from Casil- da, on the south coast, through Trini- dad to Fernandez. The railroad com pany is to begin work on the new line and the reconstruction of the old by December "A, and 1t Is expected that the whole line will be in working order about IS months later. Trini- dad will thus be placed in direct rail road communication with the rest of the island. being the last urban cen ter of any importance to be so connect ed. The new corporation will enjoy the benefits of the law of July 5, 1896, In regard to subvention.
 Another proposition which has been made by the Cuban railroad (Sir Will liam Van Horne) to take over the old line and carry it on to Sancti Spiritus, on the main line, prejudicial to the interests of the other terminal cities The Ferrocarril de Fernandez a Place tas del Sur is said to- be backed by French capital to the extent oi $2,000,000.

 Inquiries which have been made seem very completely to verify the complaints on the subject.
 My wife, my children and I spent our holiday in Devon," one informant states, and in my innocence I sent our luggage in advance, thinking that 1 should save money in cab fare and in porterage, and that I should have uo worry.
 Instead am $1O out of pocket and there is no redress.
 My luggage, when it left my house, was packed in good trunks and stout bags. When 1t arrived in Devon 1t was enclosed in battered boxes and crumpled bags.
 There was one new tin trunk. It was neatly japanned in black. for in- stance, and it had cost me $5.
 When I retrieved it it was dented, scratched, battered and its enamel was gone. There were the marks Of boots on 1t and it looked old and worn. The Gladstone bags seemed to have suffered at the feet of horses in a cavalry charge, so battered and bruised were they.
 Last year I took my luggage with me, and, on the whole, 1t travelled without much mutilation So I asked friend who is an official of great railway company if he could explain why my unfortunate possessions had received such treatment when they were sent in advance.
 ' It is the country porters who have done this to your luggage he said. They have to handle luggage sent in advance, and they get no tips for do ing so.
 Consequently they wage war on it. and the more they can damage it the better they are pleased. We are at our wits ends to know how to prevent them.
 "'They slam 1t down from heights with malice aforethought; they bump across platforms with wilful intent to damage it, and they spill 1t from trucks in the confident hope of re- ducing it's value by more than they would have received In tips from the owners had they accompanied it. '"
 Another correspondent gives an eye witness account of the style of treat ment to which advance luggage is subjected.
 q would very much like to warn people," he writes, mot to forward their trunks in advance
 q have seen two instances of the way 1t Is treated. In one case I saw a porter spilling trunks, bags and boxes in sort of avalanche down the stairs from a bridge as the easiest and most drastic method of conveying it to the platform of the junction.
 Tn the acond case I saw another porter laboriously raising boxes and trunks in the air, and dropping them one by one on stone pavement, punctuating his performance with the remark: There goes another tup- pence.

pose of the campaign the employees and officers are being organized from the lowest rank in the operating department to the highest. On every division there has been formed a committee of safety, each being con- posed of an engineer, a conductor, a fireman, brakeman, a trackman and switchman, who are appointed by the superintendent.
 Similar committees have been formed in the various division shops, being appointed by the master mechan- ics. In the Chicago shops the con- mittee is appointed by the superin- tendents of shops and the superin- tendent of motive power and machin- cry. These committees in the me- chanical department consist of one man from each shop. There has also been appointed a committee on safety for the large yards in Chicago, com posed of switchmen, who are appoint ed by the trainmaster of freight ter minals.
 The personnel of these committees is changed constantly, one man on  each committee retiring and a success sor to him being appointed each month. Their duty, according to the Railway Age Gazette, Is to investigate the causes of accidents, to seek to get their fellow employees to do all they can to remove them, and, when any action needs to be taken by employees, to recommend 1t to their superior of f1cers. The purpose of the frequent changes of personnel is to familiarize with and interest in the subject of ac- cidents, their causes and remedies, as many men as practicable, and there by create among employees as much of the right kind of sentiment as pos sible. The committees meet monthly.
 A central committee to receive the reports and supervise the work of the committee of safety has been appoint ed. Matters requiring action which exceeds the authority of this commit tee will be referred to the general managers.
