Trains and transport notes across nations and railways
Across the article a mix of transport and social items is presented. It notes that state labor conditions show women in France earning as much as men, a Sunday train service on the Bluff line between Springfield and Alton, and various dock fee receipts for New York railways. It also mentions India opening telegraph offices, a Japanese voting device, a San Salvador girls’ telegraph training school, a European dentist claim on rapid toothache cures, and a misaddressed but correctly mailed letter returned to New London. An accident near Oneonta leaves Cobb Harris with a broken jaw after a mule head strike.
