pared to pay the rates in some classes of
the New York Central until a later date,
lii" date to be fixed."
President Lee of the trainmen said last

"Whatever proportion we receive to-mor
tow, it will be accepted only if it is on the

the catafalque- were held in check, though
those, within Westminster Hall were per
mlttted to remain.
Upon rising to their feet the two mon

A TRAIN FOR EVERYBODY.
Convenience, comfort, time and cost are essential con
siderations in travel. For the business man the fastest
train with its additional appointments is a necessity. To
the tourist, traveling for pleasure, or the family, the slower
train, with the same comforts and conveniences of first
class railway travel, appeals.
The Pennsylvania Railroad trains between New York
and the western cities accommodate all classes.
The busy man uses the "Pennsylvania Special" to and
from Chicago because its schedule does not interfere with
office work. To St. Louis he uses "The 24-Hour St.
Louis* 1 because it is last and reliable.
The less strenuous traveler, and the family party, will
take "The Pennsylvania Limited, " the world's standard
passenger train, or the "New York and St. Louis Limit
( .l. " which are just as luxuriously appointed and provide
:ii! Ihe comforts and conveniences of home or hotel.
There are also express trains on fast schedules with
sleeping cars, dining curs and conches, between Xew York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Chicago. St.
Louis. Cincinnati and Cleveland, which have at convenient
hours and provide high grade accommodations.

vestigation ha? been Instituted by order
of Quartermaster General Aleshlre 10
ascertain the cause and the ultimate af
fect of this state of affairs, which seriously
hampers the military authorities in ob
taining horses for mounted troops and a?
draft animals in the transportation trains.
A way out of the difficulty is promised
by the plans of the quartermaster gen
eral, who has established two remount
depot?, in Montana and Oklahoma, to which
young horses, purchased wherever they
may be found at advantageous prices, are.
sent for the special training they require
to fit them for military use. By this
means the quartermasters hope to avoid
the real calamity of being without suf
ficient horses or without an adequate
source of suitable animals to meet the
needs of mounted troops and transports
tion in time of war.
