HANDLING BAGGAGE.
A System, That simplifies Matters For
the Railroad Men.

the Railroad men.
Like most uthe, mysteries, that of
handling the thousands Of pieces Of
luggage that come to great railroad
station has silnple solution. 1t seems
to the laynAn that there must be con-
fusion when incoming trains dump
hundreds of trunks and hand bags into
the baggage rooms for distribution to
oil quarters of the city. System. which
has come to play an important part In
all business nowadays, has made bag
gage handling rather simple matter
for the railroads. 1t is the use of key
number that does the trick.
Travellers have noticed that their
check numbers run into six figures. IL
they pay attention to the figures on
their checks at ALL 1t is the third of
these units. counting back from the
final number, tina: Is the key to the
whole system of distribution, The ex.
pressman who handles the baggage for
its home distribution hands III to the
baggage agent his mass Of collected
checks. all sorted on that basis. and
the baggage handlers hustle the stuff
out with very little delay.
Suppose he has only few checks
from an incoming local train. They
may read 3S4T41, 3S4201. 3S4599, 3S4-
1876. 3S4S12. 3S44s7. 3S4622. 3e4256, 1884,
739, 3S4747. 3S4O56 and 3S4123. In each
case the first three figures are identical
1854 The first variation begins with
the fourth, or hundreds. unit. Sy
means Of this unit he separates his
checks-all the rs In one bunch, all the
5s in another. and so on
In the baggage room the Trunks and
bags are distributed as soon as receiv-
ed in ten apartments, each bearing
unit number. from o to 8. That num-
ber invariably represents the hundreds
unit of the claimants check, The
trunk with 3S4543 check would go to
the same compartment as one number
ed 3S5543 or 3S3543 or 12543 or 9ST543
The figure 5 is the key figure. with the
result that there is never any confu-
sion or trouble In locating the baggage
desired 1t would be In the compart-
ment numbered 5.
This simple plan solves the mystery
as to the prompt loca ton of piece Of
hand baggage when passenger rolls
up to the baggage room door in a taxi
to get the piece of luggage be has had
checked and has to wait but moment
to obtain it. 1t is very simple solu
tion of the trouble that few years ago
annoyed all travellers who had to wait
for baggage to be transferred from one
terminal to another in their own con-
veyances. New York Sun.

Greatest sona Writers.

The immortal quartet of song writ
ers are Goethe. Heine. Burns and
BeraDger. OF the four Burns is by far
the most popular. Goethe was at
heart an "Olympian" and in all things
critic; Heine was in his deepest sonl
a pessimist and cynic; Beranger, while
much more human, was little bit
too critical. while Burns, democratic
to the core and Of immense sympathy,
threw himself into the common human
life Of the world with whole heart
and wrote the songs that will live and
be loved while humanity endures.-

READING, Pa, Sept. 9,-The Temple
Iron Company held a special meeting here
to-day and decided TO reduce it's capital
stock from s2,500000 to $4,000. This
action is the final chapter in the history

the holding company for the anthracite
coal trust. founded by the late George
F.. Baer OF this city, president OF the
Reading Railway and allied corporations.
Ns n trust the company has gone out OF
existence. For years II was hammered
by public opinion until It was brought
before tho bsr OF the United States SUI
preme Court which ordered its dssolu-
ton. The iron company will continue
IN existence but It will be devoted to
no original busini SIS for which II was
chartsred--the operation Of an anthracite
blast furnace five miles north of this
city. 'rhc plant Is at present idle hut

Bntr, going over some books in the re-
corde!'s office here, discovered the charter
of the Temple Iron Company. which was
thcn operating n small blast furnace at
Temple, thiH county. SO liberal were its
provisions that Mr. Racy srw its wonder
