MADE NEW SYSTEM
CHARLES W. DOUGLAS REALLY
FIRST TRAIN DISPATCHER.
Was the Originator of Reading Tele
graphic Messages by Sound and
Rose to High Position
on Lines.
Charles W. Douglas, the first train
dispatcher, died a short time ago in
Wayne, X. J-and
was buried in Port
Jervls. Charles
Minor, first gen
eral superintend
ent of the Erie,
-who originated in
1S51 the system of
moving trains by
telegraph, created
a new railroad op
erating department, that of train dis
patcher, and appointed Douglas as the
head of the department
Douglas was the last of the tele
graph operators who learned the busi
ness on the pioneer lines constructed
by Ezra Cornell 60 years ago. Hav
ing learned the printer's trade in An
gelica. X. Y.. he started out to seek
work elsewhere. He found it in the
office of the Recorder at Dundee, X.
Y. This was in 1S49. Cornell had
recently extended his telegraph line
through that part of the state and
bad established an omce in tne prim-
mg shop at Dundee. Douglas learned
to operate the Morse instrument. In
1851 the Erie telegraph line having
been put in oeration. with headquar
ters at Elinira Douglas, then 19. ap
plied for a place as operator and got
charge of the Erie office at Addison,
X. Y. Soon afterward the telegraphic
system of running trains was adopt
ed by Minot.
The Morse alphabet characters
were in those early days of telegraph
ing perforated on a tape as the mes
sage came to an operator, which un
wound from a reel, and the operator
copied the message from the tape as
it unwound. Douglas had not been
long in the service when he discov
ered that he could translate the mes
sages by sound, and he ignored the
tape thereafter. One day a conduc
tor was waiting at Addison for train
orders and he discovered that Doug
las was paying no attention to the dots
and dashes on the tape.
The conductor refused to accept the
order until Douglas had copied it in
his presence from the tape. Although
it corresponded exactly with the mes
sage the operator had taken by sound.
the conductor reported the unheard
of act to telegraph headquarters.
Douglas was called there for repri
mand, but he gave to the superintend
ent, who was the late L. O. Tillotson
of Xew York, such convincing exhibi
tion of his ability to take messages
correctly by sound that he was pro
moted to the general office. Although
the tape attachment to telegraph in
struments was not abandoned for
years, from that innovation of Doug
las in railroad telegraphy dated the
beginning of the taking of messages
by sound as a requisite of all opera
tors.
No other railroad had yet adopted
the telegraph system of train running
orders and none adopted it for sev
eral years, the Delaware & - Lacka
wanna being the second railroad to
establish it aa part of its regular op
erating system in 1S56. The men who
dispatched trains on the Erie were
their own operators and no central
head had knowledge of the position
of trains anywhere on the road. The
danger of this arrangement appealed
to Superintendent Minot, and when
the ability of young Douglas came to
his knowledge he made him chief dis
patcher of the Delaware division and
subsequently originated and estab
lished the department of train dis
patching and made Douglas its head.
Douglas thus became the first train
dispatcher in the world.
Douglas rose to be superintendent
of the Delaware division of the Erie,
succeeding Hugh Riddle, who succeed
ed Minot as general superintendent in
1869. . Douglas and Riddle resigned
after a quarrel with Jay Gould.
Riddle went west, entered the serv
ice of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific, and rose to be president of that
company. Douglas subsequently be
came general manager of the South-
side railroad of Long Island, and later
general superintendent of the New
York & Oswego Midland, now the
New York. Ontario & Western. When
the late Vice-President Garret A. Ho
t-art was made receiver of the Xew
ork & Greenwood Lake railroad he
appointed Douglas superintendent of
i ne roaa, irora wmcn place be re
signed to become part owner and, gen
eral manager of the New York & Sea
Beach railroad and the Sea Beach Pal
ace, one of the pioneer shpw places
and hotels on Coney Island. When
those interests were absorbed by oth
ers Douglas became manager of the
Erie Express Company, which was aft
erward purchased by the Wells, Par-
go Company. Since then Douglas had
been engaged in general railroad
work.
Tramps Kilted on Railroads.
About 5.000 trespassers are killed
every year on the railroads, and 5.000
more are serlousily injured, many of
them becoming public charges. It is
calculated that from one-half to three-
fourths of these trespassers
tramps.
Wireless Electric Truck.
An electric truck, its movements ab
solutely controlled by wireless elec
tric waves, has been installed in the
yards of the Union Pacific railroad at
Omaha.
CONDUCTOR A HARD WORKER.
Hii
Duties Are Many, and They Call
for Ability Away Above the
Average.
As a conductor he will probably be
gin in the freight service. His ca
boose will be a traveling office and
more than that it will carry all the
gossip of the division up and down
the line. It may be a homely little
car, but it is just as sure to be a
homelike place. From its elevated
outlook he may command a good view
of the train away head to the engine,
and he will be supposed to know all
the while that the brakemen are, at
tending to their duties; that the train
is in good order, particularly that
there are no hot boxes smoking away
and in imminent danger of setting
fire to the train and its valuable con
tents. There is a deal of bookkeep
ing to be accomplished in that travel
ing office, says Edward Hungerford in
Outing. The conductor will receive
the way bills of the cars of his train
and their contents, and he is held re
sponsible for their safe deliveries to
their destination or the junction
points where they are to be delivered
to other lines.
When he comes to the passenger
service there will be still more book
keeping to confront him, and he will
have to be a man of good mental at
tainments to handle all the many.
many varieties of local and through
tickets, mileage books, passes and
other 'forms of
transportation con
tracts that ocme to him, to detect the
good from the bad, to throw out the
counterfeits that are constantly being
offered to him. He will have to carry
quite a money account for cash
fares, and he knows that mistakes
will have to be paid for out of his own
pocket.
All that is only a phase of his busi
ness. He is responsible for the cere
and safe conduct of his train, equally
responsible in the last respect with
the engineer. He also receives and
signs for the train orders, and he is
required to keep in mind every
tail of the train's progress over tL
line. He will have his own assort
ment of questions to answer at every
stage of the journey, and he will be
expected to maintain the discipline
of the railroad upon its trains. That
may mean in the one instance ' the
ejectment of a passenger who refuses
to pay his fare and still he must not
involve the road in any big damage
suit or in another, the subjugation
of some gang of drunken loafers. The
real wonder of it is that so many con
ductors come as near as they do to
the Chesterfieldian standards.
Ticket-Printing Machine.
The ticket-printing machine adopt
ed by the German government is de
signed to simplify the work of rail
road offices, and makes unnecessary
the usual large stock of many kinds
of tickets at each station. The ap
paratus at Cologne made for 1,300
stations is three feet long, four feet
high and twenty inches wide. It car
ries a printing plate for each kind of
ticket required, and an alphabetical
index-scale shows at a glance the
names of the stations to which tick
ets are issued. The only stock need
ed is a supply of pieces of cardboard
of the right size. When a ticket is
called for, a blank card is slid into
place opposite the required station,
a handle is depressed and the ticket
drops out, printed with the names of
the departure and destined stations.
consecutive number, fare, route, class
of carriage, and other facts. At the
same operation a duplicate is printed
on a continuous sheet to serve as a
record. Actual gain in time is claimed,
a clerk having issued as many as 500
tickets in an hour; there Is no delay
from the giving out of the supply of
certain tickets, and at the end of the
day the continuous sheet gives an ac
curate record of the business done.
With this system in use, there can be
no. ticket roberies. no issue of unaccounted-for
tickets.
Schwab's Guest Train.
The "Schwab Special,'' the train
that brought seventy-five Detroiters
to South Bethlehem recently as the
guests of Charles M. Schwab, presi
dent of the Bethlehem Steel company,
cost $2,348, according to the statement
of a Lehigh Valley railroad official
here.
The train was most luxurious. There
were the "club car," the diner, four
Pullmans and Mrs. Schwab's private
car, Loretta, one of the handsomest
and most completely furnished on
wheels. Seventy-three men were en
gaged in running the train, including
the engine crews, with the different
changes, conductors, waiters, chefs,
porters and brakemen. Both the
Grand Trunk and Lehigh Valley rail
roads had traveling representatives
aboard and extra mechanics were also
on board.
Employes' Relief Fund.
The Pennsylvania railroad has an
employes' relief fund that has been
in existence 23 years, and has become
financial and benevolent enterprise
of great magnitude. On the lines
east of Pittsburg $112,6S7.39 was paid
out in January. Of this $42,076.27 went
to families of deceased and $70,611.18
to employes incapacitated for .work.
The payments from the relief fund on
the lines west of Pittsburg7 in Janu
ary to employes unable to work
amounted to $27,711.55, and to fam
ilies oi employes wno area ,ioU, a
total of $35,461.55 for the mpnth. The
disbursements for relief on the en
tire system since the fund was organ
ized amounted to $2a,765,403.18. The
fund is maintained by an annual ap
propriation from' the treasury of the
company and a small assessment from
the beneficiaries.

An English firm, whose shipment

A Perfect' Cure by Cuticura.
"When my little girl was six months
old I noticed small red spots on her
right cheek. They grew so large that
I sent for the doctor but. Instead of
helping the eruption, his ointment
seemed to make it worse. Then I
went to a second doctor who said it
was eczema. He also gave me an oint
ment which did not help either. The
disease spread all over the face and
the eyes began to swell. The itching
grew Intolerable and It was a terrible
sight to see. I consulted doctors for
months, but they were unable to cure
the baby. I paid out from $20 to $30
without relief. One evening I began
to use the Cuticura Remedies. The
next morning the baby's face was all
