Cape Verde Islands while he ought to have been carrying destruction to the un~ prepared evemy. But after the consclida~ tion of the United States fleets and army, and the additiousl strength resulting from the expenditure out of the United States Treasury of millions of dollars per day, and when the United States commanders were ready to give him a warm reception, Cervera came across the Atlantic, coaled at Curacoa, and, inetead of remaining at sea to smash the enemy’s ships in detail, made a dash for Santiago where be was “bottled up” aod unable to do snything.

Acute Rheumatism Pains in the Foot and Limb—A

Compiete Cure Accomplished by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

“*For a number of years I was afflicted with acute rheumatism in my left side and all the way down my limb into my foot. I live five blocks from my work and had to stop and rest several times in going and coming. Icould get no relief from my trouble and was on the point of giv- ing up my job when I happened to hear of Hood's Sarsaparilla. I purchased a bottle of this medicine and @ vial of Hood’s Pills and began taking them. Before I had half finished them I was relieved and it was not long before I was completely cured. I never lose an opportunity to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for my cure meant a great deal to me, as I havea fam- ily and must always be at my post.” WILLIAM HASKETT, yardman, Grand Trunk Railroad depot, Brantford, Ontario.

A PASSENGER'S COMPLAINT.

Dear Sin,—The present time tables of the Nova Scotian, Intercolonial and C. P. Railways, eeemed to have been framed

op the general principle that the existence of people travelling to and from Prince Edward Island, should be com«

pletely ignored, or that they should be treated in the general arrangements of interprovincial time-tablee as if they were a race Of uncivilized and useless heathen. Uniast Monday morning | left Windsor by the ugual earliest morning train, con-~ with the outcoming tra:a from Halifax, and arrived in Truro ten minutes afier the train for Pictou bad left, This ridiculously divjointed railway system, makes itimposeivle for summer tourists or local travellers coming from Boston via the Annapolis Valley to make connec- tions with the Steam Navigation Com- staying a half day

nected

pany * boats without in Truro and one n'ght in Pieton. As it was necessary forme to arrive in Char-~ lottetown on the Monday night, I was cempeiled to purchase a new ticket and travel! all the way around by Point du Chene and Summerside, At Painzaca desolate spot iu a New Brunswick wilder- whieh some blundering railway magnate formerly arranged as the junc- tion ot the Pointdu Chene branch witb

uese,

the Intereolonial Trunk Line,l found thirty or forty Prince Edward Islanders buddled together in a little pen called a

railway station, condemned to waitin that situation for some hours, without food, on account of the usual delay of the C.P. R. mail train trom Montreal.

My journey from Windsor to Charlotte- towr, a direct distance of about one bund~ red miles, took from seven o’clock in tfe morning until eleven o’clock at night to perform; were sach that itwas impossible to get a proper meal at aoy of the stations on the wav.

Oo last Wednesday, having attended tc some business in Kinkoral was driven to the County Line station intending to catch

audthe connections

at eight o’clock, the regular eveoing train from Summerside to Charlottetown. I there found that the C. P. R. mail

train would be seven hours late, and would delay the steamer Northumberlacd at Point du Cheve, and tbat the regular train from Summerside to Charlottetown would not be run until three o’elock at night, and the whole local traffic of the province would be thrown into confusion. The moment that I heard of this ridiculons delay of a regularly advertised train, | found my way to the ra'lway telephone and ringing up one of the Charlottetown railway officials I demanded by the agreement upon my return ticket that either the regular train should be put in motion from Summerside or that 1 suould be furnished with a horse and carr.age to drive there as I had busi- ness toattend to that could no be delayed, and | would hold him responsible for any loss that I might incur. He answered that he would find the superintendent of the road for me to talk te. Butatter two hours and, a haif, I w&s_ in- formed that he could not be found At about eleven o’clock, I went to the only inu in the village and asked for a room tosleep in until the train should come, and was informed by the woman who kept it that the roome were all ocecn- pied. 1 suggested that I would be satisfied with a lounge in ove of the Jower rooms as I only wished a few bours of shelter and rest. This was refused with the ex- cuse that they did not wish to be dia- turbed after midnight, and I was turned shelterless out into the road. To experi-~ ence inhospitality is not a pleasant seasa- tion, aad I vowed that I would not enter another house in the place if all the in~ habitants would come and kneel before me. After looking for a barn or shed I saw ‘three railway carson the Cape Traverse branch line and climbed :nto one « f them. and there found two resp°ctable old farmers huddled in a corner, a woman and two little children attempting to rest and a number of train men and _passen-~ gers uncomfortably lving about. When a maa is tired, however, shelter and a plaok are as delightful as the most exqui- site hotel furnishings, and I was soon asleep.

ln a mixed assembly of this kind, where allthe members are experiencing a mu- tual .share of suffering it is perfectly wouderfal how much abuse is heaped upoa the head of whatever incompetent authority is responsible for the evil that is being shared; and men who at other times are silent and reserved, become excit able and expressive under such conditions. A train hand told me the following story : Last autumn the train from Summerside to Tignish was seven hours late on account of adelav on the GC. P. R., mail servise At Almas ding,a lonely place in the woods over a@ mile from any settlements & woman and some small children were leftat the open siding shed at three o’clock ona cold autumn night. The train went on to Tignish, and on its return some hours afterwards the woman was till attempting to shelter her children, the uncertainty of the railway system having made it impossible for her friends to meet her, and being afraid to walk to the settle~ meot she had remained in the open siding shed.

It seems ridiculous that the local rail- way traffic of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia should be sacrificed to tne perfecting of the longer routes between Montreal and Halifax, however necessary and ure'ul these may he. The interprovincial system b«tween Halifax, St. John and Charlottetown, should certainly receive more care and attention in the arrangement of time

| tables, and in addition to the usual return

trips from Charlottetown to and from points oo the Intercolo: ial railway, and a series of return circular tickets might be issued to allow business people to leave Charlottetown and cal] at Halifax, Truro, Windsor, Digby or Amherst and St. John and return by Summerside. The eame kind of circular return ticket could be eold from Summerside as a starting point or any of the points on the line. I remain,

Yours respectfully, W. C, Hargis, Jz
