It is announced that March was a "banner" month for the police. That depends on what kind of a banner one has in mind. It would also have been a "banner"' month if the police had had no arrests to make instead of an unusually large number.
Richmond is "standing pat" on the street car situation and if the traction companies want to do any freight business they must come to satisfactory terms. Perhaps in the history of the city the situation is unusual; it is not

that distinction.
POPULATION OF THE EARTH.
Professor Ravenstein of the Roya
Geographical society has estimated
that the fertile lands of the globe
amount to twenty-eight million square
miles, the steppes to fourteen mil
Juons, and the deserts to one million.
Fixing two hundred and seven per
eons to the square mile for fertile
ands, ten for steppes, and one for des
trts as the greatest population that the
earth could properly nourish, the pro
fessor arrives at the conclusion that
when the number of inhabitants reach
es about six thousand millions, the
earth, will be peopled to its full capao
ity. At present it contains more than
one-quarter of that number.
If the rate of increase shown by the
latest census statistics should be uni
formly maintained, Professor Ravenstein shows that the globe would be
fully peopled about the year 2072.

AS TO ROOM IN HEAVEN. Some one good at figures has evolv
ed a mathematical proposition in refer
ence to heaven. One of the magazines
tells of it as follows:
rr i . . i - t
mere is sua room enough m
heaven for . all who are fortunate
enough to have their passports accept
ed by Saint Peter. According to the
bible heaven is a place twelve thous-
nd furlongs square. Twelve thous
and furlongs equals 7.300.000 feet, and
mis number cubed gives an area of
390,OOO,OOO,00O,0m.OOO.0OO cubic feet. Suppose that half of this is allowed for God'a throne and the court of .heaven, and one-half of what is left for streets. Then there is a balance of S7,000.000,000.000,000,000 cubic feet. Now, instead of having heaven a beautiful park, let it be divided into a number of rooms of say sixteen feet square. There are 4,00f cubic feet in a room sixteen feet square; so the part of heaven left for the residence of the good will be divided by this number, whence are 17,000,000,000,000.000 rooms sixteen feet each " way. Now, suppose that the world always did and always will contain 1.000,000.000 people, and that a generation lasts for
thirty-three and one-third years, mak
ing 5.000,000,000 every centurv. and
that the world will stand for one thousand centuries, making in all 5,)0.000.-
000,000 inhabitants; then suppose that
there were one hundred worlds equal to this in number of inhabitants and duration of years, making a total of
500,000,000,000,000 persons.

THE REV. S. W. TRAUM. Revival services planned by the Rev. S. W. Tranm at the Christian church began Sunday with prospects of much success. The Rev. Allen Wilson is the evangelist in charge and he is assisted by Prof. W. F. Lintt, a singer of much ability. They have just finished a series of services at New Castle in which 201 additions were made to the church. The services here will continue about the same time and the Rev. Mr. Traum has reason to feel that the membership of his church which is now 370 will be much
increased.

BIG INCREASE IN FREIGHT.

TERING RICHMOND.
EN-
Manufacturers are Clamoring for Cars
But Their Efforts are Only Partially Successful. Freight movement on the railroads
entering the city is assuming unpre
cedented proportions owing to the favorable weather for the past few weeks. Farm implements are being shipped ill large numbers, while all
kinds of building material has received its annual spring impetus, and large quantities of such is being shipped over both the Pennsylvania and
C. & L. Manufacturers are clamoring for
cars to ship their products but their efforts are only partially success
ful, owing to the car shortage on both lines. The shipper who is not delay
ed more than a week on account of the car shortage is considered extrem
ely lucky.
One of the most singular things no
ticed on freight trains running
through Richmond, has been that flat
cars and gondolas have been seen to pass through loaded with small merchandise, supposed to be only short shipments as the railroads could not stand the risk otherwise. The mer
chandise shipped in this manner is
generally covered with a tarpaulin to protect it against rain should it en
counter such before reaching the con

The clergy permit books, which
have been issued by the Central Pas

will soon be things of the past, ac
cording to predictions at the local sta
tion, as clergymen are now getting on
Jy a two cent rate on railroads running
In states where there has been adverse legislation passed and there Is
no practical use of granting the
books. For one dollar the clergy have in the past, been able to secure books, which on presentation to either ticket agents or conductors, have been able to secure one half rates. These books will be abolished on all lines with the exception of those states wherein there are no two cent laws. It is said that soon official orders will be issued from the head offices in Pittsburg, to not honor clergy permits, reduced rates orders, rates to disabled old soldiers, charitable rates or any other form of reduced rates outside the regular Sunday excursion rates.

' v- A - 1 - miles an hour. The circular caused
considerable surprise locally, as it was thought the Pennsylvania would shorten the running schedule of its trains, during the latter months of the present spring. POSITION TO BE ABOLISHED. There is good authority for the statement that the position of chief as
sistant general passenger agent cf the Pennsylvania lines west, recently held by the late Frank Van Dusen, will be abolished and an assistant general passenger agent created. J. K. Dillon, well known among local officials
and who is now district passenger agent for the Pennsylvania lines at Pittsburg, may be appointed to the new office. SUMMER ADVERTISING. Already large quantities of summer literature, advertising the different railroad routes of the country are arriving at the local railroad ticket offices. A large umber of pamphlets
NO PASSES MORE MONEY. How much have the railroads saved in revenue by abolishing deadheads? Nobody knows exactly, not even the railroads. All the same, it is certain
that the passenger revenues have been wonderfully stimulated by doing away with passes. On the southweFtern lines, for instance, it was admitted by Mr. Stubbs that HO, 000 passengers formerly rode free every year as "land agents." An official of the Pennsylvaniaroad admits that 50,000 trip passes were formerly issued at Philadelphia every year, covering merely the eastern dSrision of that system. The d?ndheads on other lines have included thousands of politicians, most of whom travel as much as formerly, but. are now paying fare. The last official figures secured by the interstate commerce commission show the passenger revenues of nil the roads in the
United States as $472,00 I.7C2.
One of the most important scalpers of the country once told the interstate commerce commission that the deadhead and half fare business of the railroads, if done on a paying basis, would add 25 per cent to the passenger revenues. This is probably an excessive estimate. On the other hand. Charles Francis Adams, when president of the Union Pacific road, said that he could add 10 per cent to the passenger revenues if he could do away Tvith passes. Taking the latter estimate as -a basis for calculation, the abolishing of dead
heads should add $4.72G.947 to the passenger revenues of American roads. If the scalper's estimate was nearer the truth, the revenues may easily have been increased by SS.OOO.OOO to 810,000,000. By far the greater increase in railroad revenues, however,
during the current year will be from freights, which are no longer affected by rebates. This gain is somewhere between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000.
