NEW STEEL CARS
PROVE SUCCESSFUL
Series Of Best on hort Line are
Satisfactory.
ACCOMMODATIONS GOOD.
Said To be Finest Type Of Car in State
Of Maryland.

Every night curing the past week
the Annapolis Short Line has been
trying out the new steel cars of the
company. As soon as the last cars
are in atnight the current is changed
from alternating to direct, the new
sub-station st Jones is placed in
operation and the new cars are oper-
ated ever a portion of the coad
Eight of the twelve Cars have been
tested and have proved more than
satisfactory. The ease of operation,
smoothness of starting and stopping
and the running abilities of the cars
have justified the care and attention
given to their building. Based on the
present schedule the new cars will
have no difficulty in making the run
ming time which has been and will
remain the shortest and quickest be-
tween Baltimore and Annapolis.
In the trip from the Wason Manu-
featuring Co., at Springfield, Mass.
to Baltimore, the running gear of
the cars was given severe test
as in the 325 miles of travel of each
car some fast time as made. On
one portion of the trip some Of the
cars were attached to what is
known as the fastest freight train
in the world This train is on the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, and
as the schedule calls for a running
time of Sc miles per hour, the train
is frequently operated as high a
speed as 20 miles per hour.
SO we'll was the high speed
standard trucks made and assembled
that not once during the trip of any
of the cars was it Necessary to stop
on account of a hot box or any dis
arrangement to the brakes. On the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, which is probably the
largest railroad in the country oper-
ated almost entirely by the panto-
graph trolley system. the new Short
Line cars attracted considerable at
tention and were the subject of many
comments.
Wherever stops we're mad4 num-
bers OF persons inspected the cars and
il was the generally expressed opin-
ion that no place in the East had as
well arranged and appointed cars,
from the passengers standpoint. as
are the new cars. Many of the rail
roads in that section of the country
with much greater mileage than the
Short Line, with greater possibili-
ties of travel and with a higher pas
senger tariff, have cars iD operation
which would hardly pass muster with
the class of travellers on the Short
Line and the new cars Of the Short
Line were revelation to the travel
ers on those roads.
Since the cars have been placed
on view in the Short Line yards the Y
have been seen by hundreds of per-
sons and nothing but praise has been
heard regarding them. They promise
TO afford a service second TO none in
the country and will provide a quick,
comfortable and pleasing trip to the
casual traveller and to the commutor
who is forced t. travel daily between
Baltimore and Annapolis.
The new cars will be placed in
operation either Sunday or Monday
of next week, notice of which will be
given in The Capital this week.

to the fact that under the present method of

GOOD ALL AROUND.

The Elks of Clifton Forge have taken an ar
ton which, whether those OF other cities deem
necessary or not, will rebound to the credit OF
the order in the Allegheny metropolis. The
Stanton Leader tells of the decision of the
Clifton Forge lodge to abolish lockers in the club
In difference to public opinion OF the community,
and comments as follows:
That is handsome tribute the Elks' lodge
OF Chiffon Forge Is paying to the public senti-
ment OF Its town when IL decides to abolish the
plan of having lockers for the individual mem
oers in which TO keep liquors, 1t Is the wise
course to pursue, for the Elxs there and else
where know that 1t ia very offensive to large
numbers OF people. we believe may safely
say 10 a majority OF the white people OF every
community, for clubs to keep liquors. The ma
tority OF the people believe from deepest con-
v4cton that the keeping of liquor by clubs makes
1t appear to young men who have not had much
experience IN the world that it Ia tho proper
thing to drink and that drinking is one of
the necessary qualifications OF a gentleman This
all mature men know TO DO mistake. There
are many gentlemen who drink but there are
n great many also who do drink and it
is not necessary to drink In order to be received
as gentleman; IN fact. II has long since be-
come an obstacle TO any gentleman to drink.
The E.ks as an organization do not lay stress
Oh tho Importance of drinking although people
In large numbers may think in those towns
WheTe the E1iiS Keep lockers. There hun
drssis OF Elk lodges in this country where keep
ing lockers is not permitted. and where drink
ing is not permitted; and 1t Is almost demon
strated that Within few years the practice
OF keeping OF lockers for liquors will be for
hidden by that body just as IT has been forbidden
by great many other organizations. there not
being a single organization that has taken up
the practice when it did not have 1t at the start
while most organizations have put a ban on
liquor.
Most of the prejudice against the Elks would
disappear fhe practice of keeping liquors were
abolished. and Il s worth much to the organi-
zation to be freed from this prejudice. Defying
public opinion is Improbable to individuals and
to collections OF individuals
Those lodges existing In communities opposed
to liquor would do good to others, would do
good to themselves and would gain the support
and good wishes of the community were they
to follow the course OF their Clifton Forge
brothers.
