An interesting incident of the visit of General Dudley to the Executive Building on Thursday was his meeting with two old comrades, each of whom resembled the General to some extent inasmuch as each had a leg shot off during the Civil War. As General Dudley entered the building Enos M. Russell, keeper of the Flag Room, was going down the stairway, and Jefferson Burtner, a clerk. in the Auditor General's Department, was just leaving the department. Each has one leg, which was noticed by General Dudley, who had a leg shot off at Gettysburg.

Factory Inspector Delaney introduced the old soldiers as they met in the rotunda, and as the three men with three legs between them met, General Dudley remarked, "Well, comrades, we all seem to be in the same predicament." The meeting was a most interesting incident and was commented upon by all who saw it.

Thence they are passed down office to office for inspection, information, action or comment. When thus disposed of they are returned to the advertising branch, bound and held for about six months for reference. Their final destination is the Pennsylvania Railrond library at Altoona.

It is said that about twenty or thirty years accumulation of these newspaper records of fact and comment and opinion concerning the road and its operations has thus been preserved, and in one of the most ble newspaper collections of railroad literature extant. With respect to printing there has been the same progress as in every other department of the road. This is divided heads: Schedules. time tables, folders, booklets and books. The two last represent the very highest, nchievements, in typographic The Pennsylvania Railroad Summer Excursion Book, revised and issued annually, contains more information desired by traveling public and is the finest specimen of any similar publication printed by any railway in the world.

That they are passed around "regardless" is not the railroad or any other business way of doing business. They are checked up daily and monthly against the in-! dividuals or newspapers on account of whom or which they are issued at a valuation of two cents per mile per run called for on the face. The newspapers receive credit for the amount of special and reading matter at contract rates.

This enormous amount of work, re quiring absolute accuracy, railroad people not being permitted to make mistakes, is accomplished by fifteen clerks, under the immediate supervision of Col. F. N. Barksdale, who has as his chief assistant C. K.

MacNichol. Colonei Barksdale, who is on the prime side of fifty, is a native. of Charlotteville, Virginia. He was educated in the famous university of that State, and was admitted to the bar. but soon entered journalism, toward which he editor gravitated by taste and.

fit- ness as and proprietor of that time honored organ "The Jeffersonian Republican," founded by James Alexander, of Boston, under the auspices of Jefferson himself. In 1883 he became connected with the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad as clerk in the time table room in the branch of which he is now chief. Therefore, what Colonel Barksdale does not know about. the perplexing cut and fit of train running time tables would be dangerous to human longevity. So tration great has become the of the passenger traffic company that between hundred and three hundred clerks have all they can do to keep up with the procession, being housed in the architecturally imposing annex' "across the bridge."

began his railroad career in the West, passenger transportation being his specialty and through every branch of which, ineluding general ticket agent, he has passed to the satisfaction of his comand honor himself until 1881, when he entered the more extensive field of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Since then he has kept pace with the extraordinary development of passenger traffic until to-day he is regarded as the peer of any railroad expert in his partieutar line in the world. In the diamond cut diamond competition of railroad management in the United States, with National Interstate Commerce and often State legislative interference on the one hand and the hue and ery of long haul and short on the other, it is no easy task steer clear snags or snakes and get all that belongs to the company out of the deal and give to the traveling public all that it deserves, which in the opinion of the Pennsylvania Railroad is a great deal. The new general passenger agent, Mr. George W.

Boyd, new only in title, is a most accomplished second to Mr. Wood. Having reached the middle of the fifth decade in life's journey commensurate opportunities along the way and both mental and physical vigor of the highest order, he has reaped a rich harvest of technical knowledge and invaluable experience. He entered the Pennsylvania service in 1882, one year after his chief, and it was a fitting tribute to the faithful and expert services of each that they should hold the same relations in the slow ascending scale of duty. filled The by special Mr.

Boyd charge of relates the to office sched- now ules, advertising and printing of every description, including tickets, appertaining to passenger transportation. All information bearing on schedules from division superintendents and contracting roads is first sent here. As each passenger not in the infant or childhood class is supposed to possess a ticket, upward of twenty-four millions of these documentary evidences of a title to one first class passage between points named must have been printed and distributed among the thousand or more ticket offices. In his stupendous work Mr. Boyd is assisted by Assistant General Passenger Agent Rufus M.

Pile, who began his railroad career in the ticket department of an Indiana railroad, now part of the Pennsylvania lines, and in 1873 entered the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Company at Philadelphia as rate and division clerk, in 1883 to chief clerk to the assistant, and in 1888 chief clerk to the general passenger agent. In his special branch he is an authority. The advertising branch of passenger department is one of the busiest in matters of detail.

Stockton says that when the Stockton family lived in Bucks county, Frank and his brother had a dog which they trained solely to bunt cats.

The brothers were overhauled one day by a farmer whose cat they were chasing. To placate the farmer gave him a dollar for a pig, which they took home. By driving away their father's pigs at feeding time they soon made their own the fattest pig in the pen and gold him at a profit of $7. Frank R. Stockton always considered the deal a tribute to his business acumen.
