Pennsylvania RAILROAD
CONVENIENT TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.

The Pennsylvania Railroad, by main lines, branches, sub
sidary lines, and connections, covers the Eastern country SO
completely that the people Of almost every community may
avail themselves of its facilities.
The lines reach the cities, the big towns and the little towns,
so that whether the impulse to travel be for business, pleasure,
or social purposes, it may be satisfactorily carried out, as far As
transportation facilities are concerned, by taking a Pennsylvania
Railroad train at the nearest point.
Through cars are operated over the lines between all inn
portant centres of population, and an excellent dining car ssry-
ice is available at the usual hours for meals on the through
trains. The alLsteel equipment Of the trains adds greatly 20
the security and comfort of passengers.
The spirit of the holiday season stimulates the wish TO
travel and the facilities of the Pennsylvania Railroad and It's
connections appeal with equal force TO the homecoming young
folks and the migrating people of maturer years.
The comprehensive train service, apart from the local trains
well known in each community, covers q wide extent of territory.
BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST.
There are splendid limited trains between New York,
PHILADELPHIA. Baltimore, Washington, Harrisburg, Altoona.
Pittsburgh, and points in the West, notably Chicago and St.
Louis. Included among these are the BROADWAY LINZ
TIED" the 2ohour train between New York and Chicago
the "24HOUR ST. LOUIS" to ST. Louis and Chicago; THE
PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED" to Chicago, St. Louis, Cleve-
Chicago, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. These are all-Pullman
trains and provide the highest grade of service In addition
there are a number of express trains to Chicago, St. Louis.
Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland
Toledo, Detroit, and other important centres of the Middle
West, which provide both Pullman and an-steel coach service.
Among these are the Chicago Special" Chicago Express

millions was taken seriously by many
persons. Tho impression was general
that Binghams figures were conservative
when he said that he could have pocketed
$4,000 month for keeping Il straight

Just about three years after General
Bingham had told Of the many millions
waiting for tho hand OF tho CRATER In
New York's underworld, Herman Rosen-
thai, gambler, was shot down and
killed IN this city's busiest thoroughfare
on the eve OF the day he was to go before
tho grand jury to lay bare the same con-
ditions about which General Bingham
had written. The former head OF the de-
partment had no conclusive facts and fig

The second was the putting OF some one

The third was tho instructions TO a
