to Atlantio City. The Pennsylvania Railm.!'. t...: lines to Atlantic City the West Jersey 1 and Camden and Atlantic Railroads I now operated as a double-track line, j and tamed far and wide as the I'enn-i syivanias Double Lines to the Sea, hive long been known as the old and reliable route to Atlantic City. The Camden and Atlantic Rai mad was the pioneer, and for a long time the only route, to what has now become one of the most popular and attractive seaside cities of the world, Many 1'hiladelphians well remember how in the earlier years of the first railroad they traveled slowly and in inferior cars to Atlantic City, when one or two trains a day more than sufficed to ac commodate the entire volume of traffic, and manv of them may also recall the ill-success ot the railroad venture, which was so pronounced, that at a meeting of the directors the proposi- tion to take up the rails and sell them for scrap iron was gravely discussed. Wiser counsel prevailed, however, and from this humble origin sprung what is to-day the most complete and best appointed system of railway leading to any seaside resort in this country. The West Jersey and Atlantic from Newfield to Atlantic City was built and inaugurated witn conspicuous suc cess under Pennsylvania management, the Camden and Atlantic was acquired, and the two lines consolidated into the Pennsylvania's Double Lines to the Sea. . These lines are now operated with that skill and vigor for which the Pennsylvania Railroad is celebrated. The roadway of each line is in excel lent condition. Laid with steel rails, stone ballasted, fitted with that great est of time-savers the track tank protected by the block signal system, its physical condition can only be coin pared to those blue ribbon sections of the main line track that attract the ad miration of the chance traveler and provoke the unstinted praise of the railway expert. For the complete equipment of this splendid road-bed the great resources of the Pennsylvania System are freely drawn upon. The choicest passenger coaches, parlor cars constructed ex pressly for this service, and stalwart hard-coal burning locomotive's, desig nated as the Pennsylvania Standard, are provided. The speed of such trains on such a road-bed is whatever the management chooses to make it, but in the exercise of a wise and conserva tive judgment the maximum of seven ty five minutes for the run from city to sea has been adopted. This is as fast a3 the fastest trains in regular service in this country or abroad, and is quick enough to meet the wishes of the av erage traveler. These trains speed down to the sea over one track and up on the other, with no obstruction, but with a clear clean sweep of track always ahead. Safety is the prime es sence of this plan, and comfort is as sured by reason of substantial equip ment, a clean well ballasted, firmly es tablished road-bed without dust, and locomotives without cinders. These characteristics, briefly outlined, form the basis of the wide and well-earned popularity of this the first-class route to Atlantic City. The high favor in which this route is held is by no means local, but ex tend to all sections of the land where the influence of the Pennsylvania Rail- road is felt. A large number of trains from the south, east, west, northwest, and southwest deliver their passengers in Philadelphia at varying hours each day and all ot them may find a conve nient connection at the foot of Market street (the central seashore station of Philadelphia) for prompt conveyance to Philadelphia's great seaside su burb. . , .. . . - By the provision of these unsurpass ed facilities of travel, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has not only de veloped in greater measure than any other agency this city by the sea, but has rationalized it- f , - - - rvL: POULTBY NOTES.

The Treasury Department la worried by moro tlinn one llrxt clusw counterfeit, if the RtaU'intmt of a Dai-tiiiuiitrhrk who in now visiting at his home in thin city M true. Said he last night s "The new f'J silver certificate counterfeit is so dnnfrer otisly like the original bill that the entire Iwiii limy lie called In as the best way out of theniillculty.- The counterfeits which I cntiso the Treasury officials tho most un easiness are bogus bills; counteifeltcoins ordinarily do not cause much trouble be cause the work is rarely well done, and the 'queer' coin are auite easilv rletoetod and suppressed. Hut there is one bogus dollar in circulation that is so nearly like the genuine that It Is causing consider able alarm. Thomas Cnrvalho, the Treas ury expert, who is said to he the best judge of money In the world, recently was sent to Birnunghani, Ala,, to testify as an expert in a counterfeiting case. i In explaining to tho jury the secret marks which the genuine silver dollar tearH ho said : 'Tho designer of the standard silver dollar, Mr. MorguB, stamped tho initial of his name In two places on the coin. All genuine standard silver dollars bear one minute letter "M" stamped on the neck of the Ooddess of Liberty just at tho point where the longest lock of hair crosses the neck line, and another on the reverse side of the coin, on the left half of the loop of ribbon tied about the wreath.' 1 'Drawing from his pocket a haudful of coins he left the witness stand and walked over to the jury box. , 'If you will look at these dollars very carefully,' said he, yo will oWrve the marks' to which I have alluded.' He then distributed the dollars among the jurors aud asked them to examine tho coins. After studying awhile all but three of the jurors were alilo to make out the minute 'M's.' Then cxert Corvalho smilingly volunteered to point out the secret initials to the three gentlemen whoso eyes were not acute enough to detect them. Taking the three coins iu his hand hn glanced at them casiiully. A puzzled look overspread his features ; he closely scrutinized the dol lars, walking over to the window to get the benefit of a clearer light. Then ho turned to the jury, and said : '(ientlemen, these coins well illustrate the Miint I was attempting to impress upon you. They are counterfeits.' Just beforo entering the courtroom Mr. Carvalho stepped into a grocery and hud a 20 bill changed iu order to get enough dollars to pass among tho jurors. Three of those coins were bogus. " Chicago Mail. Carriage Nontenclatare. It is probable that the idea of a vehicle with wheels, to l drawn by animals, must have occurred to men soon after the domestication of the horse and ox. The first attempts in this direction were very rude. In this country the prevalent modo of traveling for the first two centuries was on horseback, the roads preventing any very extensive use of wheeled vehi cles ; but as the country has increased in wealth, and the highways, city and town streets have improved, the demand for public and private carriages has grown to be very large. A writer in the Detroit Free iYe gives the origin of the names of some of the most common vehicles now in use. The popular Hansom derives its distin guishing title from a certain Mr. Hansom. The Brougham, which was first used by the famous Lord Brougham, took its title from that nobleman. Landau, a city in Germany, was the locality in which was first made the style of vehicle bearing that name. Hacks originally were termed hackney coaches, because they were drawn by huckuey a name applied to easy going horses. The Gig was given that name from itn peculiar jumping and rocking motion, the word being token from the French gigue, signifying the jig or a lively dance. a .. The term Coach is derived from tho French coche, a diminutive form of the Latin conchula, a shell, in which form the body of such conveyances - was originally fashioned. Coupe is French in origin, being de rived from the verb cooper (coopay) to cut This was considered an appropriate designation because it greatly resembled a coach with the front part cut off. Seldom, if ever, is the full term Omni bus applied to those lumbering vehicles. "With the characteristic brevity of Eng lish speaking races the title has been changed to Bus. These were , first seen iii Paris In 1827, the original name being nothing more than the Latin word signi fying "for all." Cab is an abbreviation of the Italian capriola, which ' is changed to cabriolet (cubrlolay) in French. Both words have a common derlvative--cobriolo signify ing a goat's leap. The exact reason for giving it this strange Appellation is un known, it-'. ,' 1 ' A Man Raise III Hot. 1. When he bows to a lady or an eld erly gentleman. ' ' .' j 2. When he Is with a lady who bows to any person, even if the other is a total stranger to him. 8. When he salutes a gentleman who is in the company of ladies. 4. When he is in the compaay of an other gentleman who bows to a lady. 5. When he is with a lady and meets a gentleman whom he knows.' 1 6. When tie offers, any civility to a lady who is a stranger to him. 7. When' he parlja with a lady after speaking to her, or after walking or driv-' ing with her, etc. In the elevator, where there are ladles,' men way keep on their hats with perfect propriety. Nine out of every ten do, with good and sufficient reason. Elevators are draughty places aud are public convey ances, though within doors. To raise the hat when a lady enters is becoming cour tesy, but this is very different from stand ing with the hat off while an elevator mounts to the thirteenth floor. A hat when not on the head is in the way in an levator. , It is embarrassing to the ooou panto to feel that they may unwittingly spoil a good hat by an unwary turn that knocks it in or makes havoc with the nun IT ha tvtrmct Thin?. . , "Keep It Out of ttio Paper." "Keep it out of the paper" is tho cry which tho local newspaper publisher daily hears. To oMIge often costs con siderable, though tho p:irty who kii:1:us tho request thinks tho granting scarcely worth saying "thank vou" for. A news paper is a pucnlinr nrfl;lo in the public's eye. Tho news gatherer is stormed nt becanso he gets hold of one itom, and 1 abused because ho does not got another. Young men and often youn; women, as well as older, porform nets which bo come legitimate- items for publication and then rush to the newspaper offices to bey tho editors not to notice thoir escapade. Tho next day they condemn the same paper for not having published another party doing tho samo thing they were guilty of, forgetting, apparently, their late visit to tho printing office. Tho subscribers expect to read tho news, and there is always wonder when, for char ity's sake, an item on the street and in everybody's mouth is not found in the next issue of tho paper. It's Larceny to Cheat tho Publisher. A newspaper iu Ohio recently brought suit against forty-threo men who would not pay their subscriptions, and obtained judgment iu each case for tho amount of each claim. Of these twenty-eight made affidavit that they owned no more than tho law allowed, thus preventing attach ment. Then, under tho decision of the supremo court, they were arrested for petit larceny and bonnd over in the sum ot 500 each. All but six gavo bond, which six went to jail. The new pustal law makes it larceny to take a paper and refuse to pay for it. Toledo Blade. To Ncwspoper Rurrowcrs, Did you ever pause to reflect that you aro a nuisance of tho first water?

At all drug gists. A member of an orchestra, which is staying at the Bedford Springs hotel for the season, had a rather unwelcome auditor to a summer night concert the other evening. The gentleman is the leading trombonist and had retired back on the hill from the hotel to give one of his favorite selections for the benefit of the hotel guests. While per forming he was somewhat disturbed to see a black object steadily making its way, toward him from the bush. This object, which proved to be an enor mous blacksnake, crawled to within a few feet of the musician, then stopped, and rearing its head, waved it to and fro in enjoyment of the "music. The performer hastily decamped, being too hnrhly flattered, however, by the atten tions of the melody-loving snake to at tempt to kill it. A Fool and His Money Soon Fart. How true some of these old sayings are. A friend of mine paid a traveling quack $50 to cure him of bcrofula, from which he had suffered two years.
