The Monon Route people appear to have concluded that their new time card was not quite the square thing to Rensselaer, and have therefore modified matters so that the after-

noon vestibule train, at 2:50 p. m., stops regularly. This train fills the only wide gap between trains either way, and Rensselaer .now has very good passenger train, mail and express facilities. If however, the late night train south, which leaves Chi-, cago a little after eleven o’clock, r. m., and passes Rensselaer at 2:17 a. m., could be arranged to stop regularly or on signal, it would frequently accomodate Rensselaer people who are in Chicago and want to remain to the theaters or to see the night display at the world’s fair. If this’were done, it would leave little that our people could reasonally complain of, in the matter of railroad facilities.
