HOW RAILWAY TRAINS
ARE SCHEDULED
aking
BOSTON, Sept. 3.—This is t
of year when the railroads are
out their winter time tables, those
mysterious pages of parallel columns
over which the fhexperlenced travel
er hovers In despair but which are
such perfectly plain sailing to the ex
perienced voyager. In another month
the special schedules celled for by ihe
vacation season will be out of date;
the regular pilgrimages of business
men from city to city will have been
resumed; shore, mountains and coun
try side will have fallen back into the
native somnolence. Then the railroads I Place to place and minute to minute
the New Haven system placed accord
ing to a scale which represents exactly
the length of track which separates
them. When a train Is plotted its dis
tinguishing thread is pinned to the
:hart first at the place that represents
ts starting point. The running time
:o first stop Is counted off on the verti
cal spaces; then the mileage is meas
ured on the horizontal lines in the
same way and a second pin Is stuck
In where the two lines meet.
When a train is forced to wait for
mother at a Junction point, or when it
makes a Btop of any length, the “thread
if Its existence,” as one railroad man
called it, runs along the line on which
the point of delay appears to the divis
ion that mirks off tho number of min
utes of "lay-over." Then the course to
the next stop Is traced in the same way
and so the train Is carried on from

the rush hours, when the crowd of

through the terminal, trains leave and
arrive every two minutes. r , •
The first element entering into the
calculation of a train schedule la tho
running time between stations. Giv
en a standard, typo of engine, hauling
a certain class of train, and the traffic
manager can make a fairly accurate
estimate of hours, minutes and even
second! to go on. So far as that single
train Is concerned almost anybody
could devise a schedule that would
bring It to its destination "on the dot"
and In the shortest possible time.
What complicates things Is that there
are so many other trains to consider,
and that the right of way on a road,
which is independent of connections
la the exclusive privilege of a small
number of limited expresses and spe
cials. The New York, New Haven and
Hartford road runs a heavy service of

An Unexpected Sequel.
The popular admiration for success
ful authors sometimes takes Interest
Ing forms. Robert W. Chambers has
received a unique communication from
an unknown admirer and reader of
last book, "In Search of the Unknown.'
It consists of a letter In which
writer encloses an original story
M S. The etory is a rather imui
Ing contribution of that chapter
Mr. Chamber’s above-mentioned
book entitled ’The Sphynx". In which
Professor Forrago discovers the exist
ence of the Invisible people and lures
them with apple-pies. The unknown
writer goes Mr. Chambers several
points better, and causes the Invisible
folk to array themselves In the cloth
ing left behind by Fa^fago. so that,
being Invisible themselves, they pre
sent to the ggtonlshfd observer merely
a procession of walking garments. "If
ft brings you five minutes of amuse
ment",, wrote the author to Mr. Cham
bers, "I shall feel amply repaid, for
I have passed many pleasant hours
with your stories."

If nt some future period a person
holding the rare qualification that
would be necessary for the task were
to write the Inner nhd more secret his
tory of the groat political movements
in England during the last two or
three decades, it is certain, says Henry
Leach in Chambers’ Journal that
some of the most interesting chapters
would be those which would contain
the thousand revelations of the man
ner in which the political strings had
been pulled and twisted by a handful
of eminent ladles. This Is not the
golden ora of the great political lady.
If any Is worthy of such a description
Is surely that In which Georgians,
beautiful and gifted wkLe of the
fifth Duke of Devonshire, reigned as
queen of polities for a number of
ears, dating almost from the time of
arrlago, which took place when
is but 17 years of age.
Her enthusiasm for the Whigs
il to such a pitch that during the
'estwlnlster election of 1784 she ac
tually canvassed for Fox through all
most squalid parts of Long Acre,
exchanging kisses for promises
otes.
The Duchess of Gordon was her rlv-
in everything and her political
loon was the center of the Tory party
those days.
She who reigns at Devonshire house
today Is by common consent the most
formidable feminine weapon with
which any party can arm itself In
these times.
As Duchess of Manchester she be
came passionately enamored of poll
tics. Rising young statesmen of both
parties would in those days gather
around her. She gave advice which
far ns possible wag not affected by
tho facts which in this way had come
her knowledge from tho other side.
Every secret uns nt nil times safe
1th her and so it came to pass tha
when hnrrasscd with tho trend
things at Wcstminstor young states
men and others w ho wero not quite so
young fell In the habit of confessing at
her shrlno their troubles and difflcul
ties, and receiving such consolation as
made them feel better.
Tho marquis of Hartlngtnn was one
the most devoted of these seekers
after the light that was afforded by
the duchess. At that tlmo. of course.
was a Liberal; but Disraeli was
Interested spectator of these little go
lngs-on. The duchess’ hold over the
marquis increased and everybody knew
that her Influence made for Toryism.
"Depend upon it," said Disraeli, "she
will turn him round"; and nt the first
groat crisis that occurred. In the Liberal
ranks after the duchess had completely
secured the marquis under her sway,
ho wont over to the other sldo of the
houso of commons.
Lady Lansdowne does not pretend
to conduct a political salon In quite
tho same thorough fashion ns It Is con
ducted at Devonshire House. In tho
exciting political times which obtain nt
present, when once more there Is a re
casting of parties, the infiuenco of
Devonshire Houso is a factor not to be
overlooked, and It has not been.
The duchess of Dovonshlro and her
ladyship uro not at all rivals, because
their political Idiosyncrasies are alto
gether different. The one is an argu
mentative and strenuous politician tvho
wants to discuss "movements’’ and in
fluence them; the other Is to be re
garded more ns the npotheosls of social
brilliance In tho high ministerial world.
There are two other great political
ladles who must bo mentioned now
although In characteristics nud (n po
litical actions they wholly differ from
tho stars whom wo have been discuss
ing. These are Miss llalfour and Mrs.
Chamberlain, not only tho sister and
the wife, respectively, of the states
men whose names they best, but each
the political fidus Achates of tho man
In whose progress and success she Is
entirely concerned.
For Mr. Balfour, nt any rate, lifo un
der present conditions would be almost
unbearable If It were not for the kindly
ministrations of his sister. Not only
does she manage his household for
him, but In a hundred other ways she
relieves him of those responsibilities
which would tend to distract a man of
his teinpomment from political study
they ramo before him. Thus she
takes entire charge of his stables and
sees to It thnt his carriages are all as
he would have them.
Not only that, but a little while ago
she took It upon huraolf to order a new
brougham specially fitted up In such a
manner as to be of great convenience
to him. Many a time has she bought
him horses, and she will open an ani
mal’s mouth and with a quick glancn
nt the tenth discover whether tho deal
er Is telling rhe truth as to ng*\ with
all the export ftHHuranco of that gentle
man himself.
Mrs. Chamberlain Is a woman of al
together different mould. Hhe has no
aspirations In the way of a salon. But
*ho performs the same enthusiastic
service for h-r husband that Miss Bal
four does for her brother, accompanies
him on his campaigns, and make* the
condition of life as esty and pleasant
ns she can. Bho takes the greatest In
terest In every move he makes and
could give nn Intelligible dissertation
on tho points of her husband’s policy.
The tact and charm of the American
lady ere conspicuous In her. As every,
body knows, she was a Miss Endlcott
and the story of their meeting end e:

teas for her late fnther-ln-law at the’
great official receptions which he gave.
A highly accomplished lady of conald*-
erabie literary attainments, she shines
a brilliant political conversationalist
id will adorn a salon of tho futuro.
Only power can properly serve t
dy who would shine in politics,
there Is uo Liberal salon, and the ab
sence of it reacts upon the Interest of
the party to an extent that those who
have Its interests at heart keenly de
plore.
The names of several great Liberal
Indies nil in their early youth are
called. Take now Mrs. Asquith, who,
in the case of a considerable Liberal
revival, would assuredly be called upon
vimo a large shnro In the party
entertnlnlng. She is Margaret, the
brllllnnt duughter of Sir Charles Ten
nant, and her Interest in party politics
has always been keen. Lord Rosebery
is one of her slncerest ndmlrers and
her future snlon will csrtainly be one
of the headquarters of Roseberydom.
But in this connection the circum
stances attending the position of Lady
Crowe. Lord Rosebery’s own daughter,
have to be token Into consideration,
and many of the shrewdest Judges and
lsest counsellors of the party, hold
that everything points to her being
the chief Liberal hostess of the future
third lady who will assuredly bo
of the brightest stars of the Liberal
firmament when the clouds roll awoy
nnd they appear in full view again, is
Mrs. Herbert Gladstone, the young wife
of the chief whip of the party, who is
credited with a hot enthusiasm for
politics which only needs nn oppor

both. Just ns it Is to be regarded ns n
token of his skill In diplomacy and a

Many Indies remain on whoso behalf
there will be partislans to claim high
political distinction, J»ut from among
them it Is only necessary fdr present
purposes to select one who upon overy
count has an Individual right of ad
mission to the list. This is the Count
ess of Wnrwick. One hardly knows
now whether to say that she is for
Liberalism or not. But she Is surely
not against It, despite the fact that
her husbnnd was once a Conservative
member of Parliament.
When there Is a levelling of parties,
