CZ$ nE car service department of a
jPblR rallwny enn at almost n mo-
uicnt's notice toll a shipper -of
fast, or what the railway people call
ninnlfcst, freight, Just where any par
ticular car Is on the linn. Thu sys
tem which makes this possible is one
which Is only In use on nbout four
roads in America, and was Introduced
on the lino of the Grand Trunk by M.
C. Sturtevnut, who previously operat
ed the system on the Illinois Central
uudcr the supervision of the inventor,
John M. Daly. K
Mr. Sturtcvant, In explaining It to a
newspaper writer, said that to his mind
It was what might be called a graphic
system, for the reason that the opera
tor had before his eyes at all times
the exact position of every cur of fait
freight on the line.
To get an Idea of this system It will
be necessary to refer to the accompany
ing illustration. It will be seen from
this that a large board representing tho
lino between Chicago and' Portland Is
ono of 'the principal adjuncts. This
board or chart Is divided up Into sec
tions showing tho division points and
the principal stations between these
points. It Is on this board that the po-
KEEPING TAB ON FAST
sltlon of every moving car or fast
freight train Is shown.
All Shown Upon a Tab Ilntrd.
Tho system Is conducted by tele
graphic reports, and consists of a spe
cial way bill, which accompanies each
car of freight; a label which is placed
on each car, and which tells switchmen
and others that It Is manifest freight,
and that It must not be held buck; a
report for wiring the contents of the
train and the manifest numbers of the
cars; a report for wiring tho arrival
and departure of manifested cars at
manifest stations; a report used by
conductors for reporting disabled cars
set out of trains short of their desti
nation and a board twenty-four feet by
five divided Into tralu districts sta
tions being shown longtttudlually In tho
center, wooden blocks representing
trains, aud wooden pegs representing;
cars.
All Important stations aro mado man
ifest stations, and are assigned n letter
or combination of letters, to designate
them In telegraphing, and arc also as
signed a scries of numbers to bo plac
ed on way bills for cars manifesto.!.
Some stations are assigned more num
bers than others, according to tho
amount of fast freight originated. The
lowest series of numbers assigned Is
00, while the highest is Chicago with
BO) When'i station reaches Its high
est number the plan Is to revert to
number one again and start over.
The Manner Check la Kept.
When a train of high class freight Is
assembled the agent fills out a separ
ate manifest way bill for each car in
the train, Inserting the station letter
or cipher and manifest number in the
spaces provided for that purpose. This
way bill Is made out In (wo forms, one
a car form which supersedes tho ordi
nary tally slip, the other an envelope to
be used In case the regular billing ac
companied the freight. After way
bills are made out, consecutively num
bered and the cipher letter alllxed, tue
agent fills out a report showing tho
consist of the train and wires the samo
to the car service agent In Montreal,
In whose ofneo Is located the board aud
other paraphernalia employed lu rou
nectlon with operating of the system.
This consist report shows the origin,
number, contents and destination of all
cars manifested, and In the margin at
the left the manifest number of each
car.
The use of manifest numbers to rep
resent the cara In the train simplifies
the operation of the system and admits
of a telegraphic check being obtained
on the movement of all high class
freight for about one-eightieth of the
txpeuM where tha cara reported by

their own numbers. Upon receipt of
Mils' report small wooden pegs bearing
tho station cipher, numbered to 'ml
corresponding with tho ninnlfcst num
bers reported, are placed lu a block
which is known as a train block and
represents the consist of tho moving
train. There Is also placed in this blockj
a peg representing the destination sta
tion of the train. This block is then
hung on tho board, Its position betug
determined by the train district on
which It is located and the direction of
Its movement. If cast bound the block
will be hung on tho upper part of tho
board, and if west bound on tho lower
part.
, By a Byatem of Pes.
As the train proceeds each district
terminal point wires a report to the car
service agent at Montreal showing tho
time of arrival and tho time of depart
ure. The train block Is then moved
along to the next district. In telegraph
lug this Information to headquarters
the lowest and highest manifest num
bers are sent, and thus the movement
of twenty-live cars Is obtained at no
greater telegraphic expense than that
of reporting only two cars. If a cur
Is set out of a train between district
FREIGHT THAINS.
terminals on account of defects, the
conductor Is required to wlro a report
showing tho point at which it Is left
and tho reason why. When this occurs
tho peg representing tho particular car
Is romovoJ frmi thu train block aud
placed on the board opposite the station
at which It was set out. There It re
mains with the conductor's report un
til such time as It Is lifted by another
train. In caso a conductor fnlls to
mako a report showing that ho Is run
ning ono car short of what he rook
oyer, tho fact will make Itself known
when the train reaches the next ter
minal point and another conductor
turns In his report. Then the wires
aro mado hot to II ml out where the
particular car p, aud It docs not tuko
long to do It. In this way all delays
are detected, aud the car service ugen
knows exactly how his trains are run
ning. As tho reports are received show
ing the. movements of the trains the
Information becomes u matter of ri!
orJ, the time being transcribed 'rom
tile consist and district terminal re

reaches Its destination thu time con
sumed Is computed, tho tlmo on each
district and at each terminal point be
ing taken Into account, and If the
schedule time Is not mnde the causes
of the detention aro noted.

What are the advantages of this xys
tern over tho old system Is a question
which naturally crops up In the mind
of tho uninitiated. A personal Inspec
tion does not take long to mako 'his
apparent. In the llrst place It Is not so
expensive, and Instead of taklug a
month's time to get at the bottom or
any troublo It can be accomplished In
a few hours.
Another advantage which the system
has is that It lends Itself to the making
arrangements for the arrival of trains
at a certain time, which Is something
that cannot be counteJ on under the
old system.
It baa been found also that the sys
tem has done a great deal In keeping
what la knows aa the dead freight on
the move, as when the fast freights are
making schedule time the trainmasters
on the different districts have a knowl
edge of Just exactly what tlmo they
have for moving this class of freight
The following list will give an Idea of
what the railway company considers
fast freight:
Agricultural Implements, butter, can
ned goods, cheese, coffee, dressed beef,
dressed poultry, dry goods, eggs, fresh
ilsh. fruit, glucose, high explosives,
leather goods, liquors, ale, beer, Uvo
stock (through shipments), machinery,
merchandise, packing house products,
paper, provisions, rubber goods, sunr,
syrups, tobacco, tea, vegetables, hides,
paint, tinware, vehicles, beans, pulp
wood, chair stock nnd whiting.
The nbovo articles may bo manifest
ed nt any time without asking any
questions, but for articles outside of
this list a special order must bo re
ceived from tho car service olllcc.
It would seem thnt tho one great
feature nbout this system Is thai tho
shipper does not have to watch his
freight. The company docs that for
him. Montreal Herald and Star.
DEAR TRAVELING IN CUBA.
It la Comfortlcas, tint n Change In
ltullromllnw la Near.
Cuba has 1"4 railways, with nioro
than '000 miles of track for the lot, yet
traveling lu Cuba Is not cheap. Thcro
aro lines which chargo passengers 12
cents a mile.
The average rate Is about 7 cents for
first-class passengers aud 5 cents for
second-class, and travel on some of tho
lines means many hours of mlserablo
Jolting over a wretched roadbed.
Freight rates aro as exorbitant as pas
senger rates. So detrimental Is the
railroad extortion to tho welfare of tho
country, In fact, that a modification of
rates by military order was talked of,
but th legality of Uio step was doubt
ful. Tho entire railroad system of tho Isl
and Is valued nt $70,000,000. But of tho
124 lines only seventeen aro public lines
lu tho generally accepted sense.
The rest are private roads, built for
the transportation of sugar cane to tho
grinding mills. It Is a curious fact that
live of the principal lines, representing
nlne-clevcntliB of tho public roads, aro
controlled by British capitalists.
Cuba had a railroad forty-three miles
long between Havana and Guinea,
whlclf began to run only a few years
after tho first American Una was
opened, but tho development of rail
roading under Spanish rulo was on a
very different scale. Some people
might not call It development at all.
Hut all that has changed under Amer
ican occupation. A now line now In
process of construction by Sir William
Van Homo and his associates of tho
Cuban Central Hallway, connecting at
Santa Clara with tho line from Havana
to Clenf uegos, will revolutionize tho Isl
nmVs railroad system, open communi
cation with Nlpe, tho best harbor on
tho wholo Cuban coust line, and pre
pare for profitable cultivation nn urea
estimated nt 10,000,000 acres, or about
one-third of tho total area of the Island.
Concerning Millionaires.
A writer who Is himself a multi
millionaire, says It will bo a great mis
tako to shoot these gatherers-ln of the
yellow metal, for, ns he says, they aro
tho bees that mako tho most honey,
and contribute most to tho hlvo oven
after they havo gorged themselves full.
Tho remarkable fact Is stated, that tho
musses of the people In any country
aro prosperous and comfortablo Just In
proportion to tho number of million
aires in that land.
lu Hussla, with Its population little
hotter than serfs, living nt tho polut
of starvation, upon tho meanest possi
ble fare, such as none of our people
could or would endure, you do not find
scarcely ono millionaire excepting the
Emperor aud a few nobles who own
the land. It Is the same, to a great
extent, lu Germany. There aro only
about two millionaires In tho wholo
(Jeriimn Empire. In Franco, where
thu people aro better off than In Ger
many, you cannot count one-half dozen
millionaires In tho wholo country. In
tho old home of our race, Britain,
which Is tho richest country In all Eu
ropethe richest country In tho world
savu one, our own thcro are more mil
lionaires than In tho whole of tho rest
of Europe, and Its people are better off
than In any other. In our laud, the
same thing holds true; wo havo more
millionaires than all tho rest of the
world put together.
