are the rule.
dividing passengers into classes.
There are three classes in England—first,
second and third—which are distinguished
mainly by the difference in the character
and comforts of the upholstery of the seats
and the number of passengers permitted in
a compartment. Often the same coach will
have a first, a second and a third-class com
partment. The first-class compartment
may be provided with easy chairs, but
usually it has one long sent on each side of
the compartment, softly cushioned and in
tended for four passengers. In the second
and third-class compartments the seat of
the same length is expected to accommodate
five passengers. The second-class compart
ment is a little less elegant and the cushions
a little less soft than those in the first-class.
The third-class compartment on many lines
is provided only with uncushioned bmches,
but some of the great railways, iu competi
n'n ior third-class patronage, have fitted
those compartments with cus .ions, which
render them scarcely less comfortable than
the sec nd class. On the German lines a
fourth class is added, which consists of
compartments bare of all benches or adorn
ment. Their interiors are as uninviting as
freight cars. In such coaches, which are
attached only to the slow way trains,
poor peasants take their short journeys,
standing up like cattle. In England their eat
mass of travelers go second or third class.
Merchants, lawyers and respectable men
and women of a l callings travel third or
second class at about one half or two-thirds
of the cost of first-class travel, leaving the
first-class coaches to the nobility, swells,
persons of wealth who love show and Ameri
can tourists. The right of travelers arc
reengnized and jealously maintained by the
persons themselves, iu each compartment
is generally posted a placard stating how
many passengers the compartment is in
tended for. In a third-class coach, where
the seat is intended for five, if a sixth
persou crowds iu you will instantly s e one
of tbe crowded five thrust his head out
of the window and yell for the guard.
When the guard comes the protesting pas
senger complains that there are six passen
gers on the seat. The guard then has to
provide a place elsewhere for the superfious
passenger, even if another carriage has to
he added to the train. The Englishman
never allows himself to bo crowded. On
the other hand, the rights of the railway
company are protected by law, and heavy
penalties are imposed upon persons who at
tempt to defraud a company by riding in a
coach of higher class than that called for
by their tickets.
THE LONDON “UNDERGROUND.”
The same style of coach and the same di
vision of compartments intoclassa. is found
on the underground railways of London,
ineroare upward of 730 miles of railway
inside the metropolitan district of London
traversing the great city in every direction
tr.iough tunnels and trenches. One can fi.d
an undergr und railway station within five
minutes walß of any point in the center of
London. Ihe stations are dark and smoky,
l e light of the sun never reaches these
railways, and the drivers, stokers and other
railway employes live constantly in a foggy
g ooni. ihe j ourneys taken by passengers
over these lines are usually short, varying
irom five to twenty minutes iu length;
nice the uncushioned third-class compart
ments are patronized largely by all classes,

and trunks arJ tr ’ at „!f ch&i to each
wunks are carried in these. At
the station where a passenger takes a train
a railway employe simply pastes a label on
the trunk stating its destination. On arriv
ing at the end of his journey the traveler
goes to the luggage van or to the heap of
luggage thrown out upon tbe station plat
form aud points out or “claims” his trunk.
When, as occurs at the great railway cen
ters, there are 100 or more passen
gers crowding about a mountain
ous heap of trunks, each eager to
claim his property and get away, much
confusion ensues. The traveler cannot go
to his hotel and send a porter or express
man with bis check to the station to get his
trunk, because he has no check. He nas to
stay until the luggage is all out and identify
his trunk. Sometimes the luggage is car
ried bevoud its destination and goes scour
ing over the country without its owner, and
sometimes, when the luggage vans are
overcrowded, it is left to come along by a
later train. In such cases the traveler has
nothing to do but to haunt the
station until the missing package
turns up. These separations of passengers
and luggage are so frequent that at
busy railway junctions and large stations
there are “lost luggage” offices, where bland
officials receive the statefnents and com
plaints of passengers. These officials are
always busy. They are always supremely
confident that the luggage wifi come along
in time. In their view luggage is never
actually lost It is only the tempers of
passengers that are lost. They are obliging
and really mean what they say. They tele
graph liberally up and down the line and
generally succeed in reuniting tho traveler
and bis trunk in a few hours. One
reason for the uncertainty in the
delivery of luggage is that instead
of having a baggage car, as on Ameri
can trains, with a baggage master who is
at work between stations sorting and get
ting out pieces of baggage for
delivery at the next stopping place
the luggage on a crowded
train is packed into small compartments so
tightly that it is immpossible to get at it en
route. So it often happons that during the
brief stop at a station all the luggage in
tended for that point is not found. Still,
with all these inconveniences the English
traveler prefers his old and sacred system to
the American baggage check.
ON A GERMAN RAILWAY.
In Germany the railway employes ar3 all
uniformed like soldiers. They are formally
polite to passengers, aud always touch their
caps in mihtary style when addressing
them. Every gatekeeper stationed at a
crossing always stands at a salute when the
train passes, holding the short round stave
about which his flag is wrapped as though
it were a musket. Most of the railways are
state affairs, and so every train represents
the majesty of the empire. It is the em
peror’s train and hence must be saluted.
No one can secure employment on the rail
way unless he has served in the army.
The discipline of tbe army is carried into
the railway management. A young Ger
man who was my companion in tho ojm
partmeut of a railway carriage in which I
was traveling over tho state railway of
Baden, when I remarked upon tho fidelity
and ceremony with which every gate
keeper saluted our train, told me a story
which ho thought extremely funny. It was
about a railroad employe who was sick and
thought he ought to go every day to see a
doctor who lived in a neighboring
village. The doctor at last told him it was
unnecessary for him to come and see him
so often, and proposed tli it as the train on
which the doctor had to travel on the ra 1-
way daily passed the post where the man
was stationed the latter should thrust his
tongue out so the doctor coaid examine it
as he passed. Tbe mau exhibited his tongue
to the doctor in this way for several days,
when his peculiar action was reported by
the railway employes on the train. He was
put utider arrest for showing disrespect to
the royal train by sicking out his tongue
at it, and had to suffer an imprisonment of
several weeks before he succeeded iu satisfy
ing tho authorities of the innocent motivo
of his act.
HAUNTED BY THE. GUARD.
The German railway guard rides in a
little covered seat on top ad atone end of
the car. He has a startling way of thrust
ing his heal into the window of your com
partment when the train is traveling at the
rate of forty miles an hour and you expect
no visitors. Sometimes you will see a
military cap rise up to the lower edg ■ of the
window', follow'ed immediately by a pair of
keeu, vigilant eyes, which wid gaze at you
an instant and tho i disappear. You caunot
help feeling that you are uuder espionage,
and nuy word of yours hostilo to
the German government spoken in
what you suppose to be the privacy
of a railway department, may sub
ject you to an examination by German
officials. The military discipline of rail
way employes results in well-managed rail
ways. A gateman or a switchman who is
responsible for tho slightest mishap has no
more mercy shown him than a sentinel who
is found asleep at his post. There is con
siderable ado over tlie arrival and depart
ure of trains from a station. When the
train slows up to enter the station a man
runs in front of the locomotive, calling out
t, people to look out for the train, and
keeps his shouting up until the train comes
to a stop. It is said to be a rare thing that
any one is killed or injured by being
ru i over by a railway train in Germany.
When a train is about to dopart an official
at the station blows a little whistle
with his mouth. A subordinate pulls a
rope which rings a bell hanging in tne sta
tion. To this the locomotive driver re
sponds by a shrill toot on his whistle. Then
there is a pause, some shouting by railway
employes on the platform, a scurrying by
the guards as they close and lock the doors
of the carriages and the man at the bell
rope clatters his bell again. Then the train
begins to move. As it does so the bells in a
little tower beside the track begin to chime
prottiiy. Tnese balls are rung automati
cally by the moving of the train and con
tinue to ring until the train is well under
way. There is no bell on the locomotive.
If there was the driver might forget to
ring it, but these automatic bells never
forget.
Self Defense Against a Dangerous Foe
Forewarned is not forearmed in the case of
those who incur the risk of an attack from that
dangerous foe, malaria, unprovided with a
means of defense. But if those in peril are
aided, sustained and reinforced with the great
fortifying safeguard, Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters, miasma, prolific breeder of evils mani
fested in the snape of bilious remittent and
chills and fever, ague cake, dumb ague, and the
calentura of the Isthmus and Central American
coast, is nullified and rendered harmless. Our
western pioneer settlors and miuers, dwellers in
tropic lowlands, and visitants of and dwellers in
malarious localities in this country ana many
quarters of the globe, have for years been ac
quainted with the fact and are constantly pro
vided with this unparalleled defensive medicine
and remedy. All disorder of the stomach, liver
and bowels, rheuma ic and kidney complaints
end rheumatism are conquered by it.

Is Friday an Unlucky Day?
More or less superstition attaches to the
sixth day of the week, and numerous are
the undertakings or vontures tiwit are post
poned to a more propitious (?) day. Friday
is as good a day as any other in which to
inaugurate a quest for health, and P. P. P.
(Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium) is
the very best weapon with which to begin
an onslaught on disease. For all blood im
purities such as are indicated by Rheuma
tism, Gout, Syphilis, Scrofula or eruption
of the skiu, P. P. P. is a sure and simple
remedy. For women suffering from loss of
appetite, strength and vigor it is a splendid
tonic and remarkable in its results. All
druggists keep it.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1889.
DB. HAMILTON ON BROWN-SE
QUARD.
Ho Doesn't Beliova la the Elixir—
Another Remarkable Parisian Rem
edy.
From the New York Sun.
Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, who has
just returned from abroad, was at his
home, 20 East Twenty-ninth street, yester
day. He talked very freely with a reporter
about tbe Brown-Bequard elixir of life.
“It is one of the sensations of the day in
Paris,’’he said; “in fact, it is the chief sen
sation. At the time I left there only two
men had taken the injection—the doctor
and one other.
“If it had not been the work of a man of
standing I should not have considered the
matter at all; I should have put it down as
an arrant humbug. But I investigated the
matter sufficiently, and 1 am sure the
attempt to renew a man's youth iu that way
is absurd. I have not made any experi
ments, and Ido not intend to make any.
The theory is opposed to all the laws of
physiology and chemistry.
“Further than that, I believe it is a very
dangerous proceeding, and that it is time
for reputable physicians to express their
disapproval of the experiments.”
“In what way is it dangerous!” the re
porter asked.
“There is great danger of introducting a
virulent poison into the system. It is well
known that the putrefaction of albumen
F reduces some of tho most deadly poisons.
t is quite possible substance in
jected into the tne veins should act there as
the arrow poison doos, which is used by the
South American Indians.
“While the elixir is sterilized by heat or
the admixture of substances to prevent de
cay, it is quite certain that the elixir must
be so changed as to lose any baneffcial ele
ment it may have had when perfectly fresh.
But I do not believe it has any beneficial
element when fresh. When skillfully pre
pared and injected before decay sets in it
would have no more effect than water
would.
“But there is always danger. It is hard
to toll when the moment has passed at
whicn the harmless substance becomes dan
gerous. The juices of a newly dead body,
as undertakers and medical studo ts know,
are much more dangerous when absorbed
through a wound than those of a body that
has been preserved some time. Dr. Broun-
Sequard’s injections wore all very painful.
I believe that many cases of erysipelas have
followed thorn.”
“On the theory that it might have the ef
fect claimed for it, how could the substance
act on the system?”
“It couldn’t act. Those who have tried
it offer no explanation of tho result ob
tained. They say practically that a ‘vital
fluid’ has been given to the patient. It is a
return to the medical systems of the middle
ages, lt affects some through mental exhil
aration. Its hold on the public is due to a
love of the mysterious.
“It is not anew idea. Mention of its use
was made three centuries ago. Although
Dr. Browu-Sequard is well advanced in
years, l believe that antedates his time.”
“Have you been requested to prepare tho
fluid for au3' of your patients?”
“A gentleman came to mo with such a
request the other day. I refused his re
quest, but if under any oxtraord nary con
dition of affai s I should bo persuaded by a
patient to try it, I should inject tho fluid
with the same confidence that I should in
j >ct v. ater. People do live longer now than
tho3 r did formorly, hut lengthened life is
due solely t , tho a ivauce of sanitary science
—to the care which people take of them
selves.”
As an offset to tho Brown-Sequard elixir
there is a device for the treatment of
nervous diseases, which Dr. Hamilton
brought from Paris with him, a id which
he says is well worth con adoration. It.
is tho invention of Dr. Lewis of Paris. It is a
simple affai . There is a lit ie cherry box
about five inches square, a!,, o whi h
project two sli .fts, one withi i the other,
slaove and arm fashion. O i each shaft in
balanced a black bar nine inches long, an
inch wide and a quarter inc i thick, edge
up. By clockwork in the box these ebony
arms or bars are male to revolve in op
posite directions. Six iittle round mirrors
are placed on each side of each bar.
Tbe patient is placed in a chair in
a dark room, facing the machine. An
electric light, or any bright lig t, is o >ncen -
trated on tho black arms of the m chine by
a convex mirror placed behind tuo patient,
and then tho arms ur; sot awhii'ling. The
patient war,‘has tnem whirl. The motion
and tho flashing lights operate ou the
nerves through the eyes. Dr. Hamilton
said ho had seen pat ents put to sleep by
this means and some extraordinary cures
accomplished.
The explanation of the effect of (ho whirl
ing arms and flashing lignts is that they
changa the habit of the brain. Tho effect
is analogous to that produced by soft music
on a nervous or irri ated man, but the
rhyunth of regularly flashing lights has a
more powerful effect upon tho braiu than
the rhymth of music.
A SEED 13 KILLING EIM.
Lodged ln the Vermiform Appendix
of William Walton and Threatens
Death.
Special to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
New York, Aug. 20.—William Walton,
associated with his father, W. T. Wait' 11,
in business in this city, and a favorite in
both social and business circles, is dying at
his summer home, at Bayport, L. 1., the
cause being a simple little seed in his stom
ach. The doctors know it is there, and that
it will likely prove the death of the popular
young man, but they are unable to disiodge
it by any known means, pharmaceutical or
surgical.
The difficulty arose from the seed drop
ping into a place where the machinery of
digestion cannot reach it. Mr. Walton ate
heartily of grapes a short time ago and as,
most people do, swallowed the se xls. One
of the seeds did not pass through the proper
channels, but lodged in a place called in
medical parlance the vermiform appendix.
This is a tail like appendage located on
the right side of the bowels. It is from
three to six inches in length, and why it is
put into the human anatomy is something
no man and no physician has yet found out.
Its average diameter is about the size of a
pipe stem. It terminates in a blunt point,
and if any substance which cannot be ab
sorbed—such as a grape s >ed,an orange seed
or a lemon seed —finds its wav there it will
in time produce i flainmation, an en
tophletic abscess is likelyUto form which, if
not promptly removed, will cause death.
This is the only part of the human frame
that does not perform some ascertainable
function. The vermiform appendix simply
seems to be a death trap. It has no known
use except to delude the unwary victim
into swallowing the bait that will prove his
death.
There is a surgical operation which may
be performed, but it has often proved fatal.
Young Mr. Walton, it is understood, has
submitted to the necessary surgical opera
tion, and his life is still hanging in the bal
ance. According to the statement of a
physician of prominent standing this after
noon the first operation necessary in a case
of this kind was successfully performed by
the late Dr. Sands about the time he was
associated with Dr. Fordyce Baker in the
case of the late Roscoe Conkling.
Seeds rarely drop into this trap, but when
they do the result has nearly always been
death. Young Mr. Walton is about 22
years of age, of stout build, and has a rugged
constitution, which his friends hope will
pull him through his serious illness.

HE WAS BOLD.
How a Young Sailor Was Deceived
by His Messmate.
FVom the Brunneick (Ga.i Times.
A well-known tug boat captain tells a
good story, taken from his first experiences
as a seaman.
Two young sailors were ou the fore deck i
discussing plans for enjoyment during tneir
stav on shore. One spoke up to the effect
that they had no money.
“What’s the matter with going to the
captain and getting sf>?” asked the otter.
“We’ll do it!” exclaimed sailor boy No. 1.
“I will go in to see him first and you can
wait until I return.”
This plan met with the approval of No. 2,
and No. 1 proceeded to the cabin.
Ho politelv asked the captain for $3 and
it was cheerfully given. Returning to the
waiting No. 2, he was asked his success.
“Fine! I went up to the captain, shook
my fist in his face and said:
you old fool, you, I wa at 15.”’
“And did he let you have it:”
“Certainly; you had better do the same
way if you want any money.”
In high spirits at the manner in which ho
could overawe his superior officer. No. 2 en
tered the precincts of tho cabin and boldly
approached the captain.
“Look-a-here, you old fool, I want s>,
just as quick as you can get it,” he said.
The captain, tor an instant, was surprised.
He quickly regained his self-possession, and
as the overbold sailor was about to launch
forth another torrent of words, he was
seized and given a sound thrashing.
“Now, sir!” exclaimed the irate captain,
after pommeling his inferior sufficiently,
“do you want any more of that
“No, sir,” answered the unfortunate lad,
as he quitted the cabin.
The sweat strains of “Did you ever get
left ?” came to his ears as he resumed nis
work.
It is a solemn fact that No. 1 and No. 2
wasted no friendship between themselves
or several mon hs afterward.
A Mad Dog’s Freaks.
Tho trouble about a crazv dog is that
you can’t depend upoh its stie ling fas to
customary canine ways, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
A year ago a mad dog made its appear
ance in a suburban village and created the
liveliest consternatio over about two
square miles of villas. After a sones of
less exciting episodes it approached a house
from an upper window of which a lady was
observing the proceedings. The dog sprang
up tho step3 and on to the porch, I lit the
lady unstairs felt quite Comfort ible—she
had shut all the doors and window s down
stairs. Suddenly there was a erasu of glass
and the spectator on nigh had nlv time to
shut her chamber door before sho heard the
dog racing nil over the hous. . The nv.d
brute had plunged through tho skylight f
the door, a pane of glass not more tuau 7
inches wide. The dog ■> ans big as a New
foundland, though not of that breed.
It was an exciting time fra - i lie unhappy
mistro.-s of tie hour*. She could hear tho
great animal rustling about down stairs,
knocking over the furniture. Tho neigh
bors saw the dog jump into a rocking-chair
in tio parlor, evidently intending to
spring from it through a bay w|ud >w. but
the rocker tipped up and tho dog lost its
balance and fell over. Then it got out of
the house through the same narrow hole by
which it had entered.
The succeeding chapters in this mad dog’s
wild tragedy we-o equally extraordinary.
After keeping up a reign of terror for sev
eral hours it ran up a ladder into the loft
over a cirponter shop, and then sprang
back to earth and b oke its neck.
