Cost of Travel.

Judge D. P. Baldwin will depart the latter part of the on his trip around the world. Yesterday he received his tickets and letters of credit furnishing the full equipments for the job of globe trotting he has in view. The Judge is an old experienced European traveler but this will be his first tour of the earth and he is looking forward to a very pleasant time. In conversation with Judge Baldwin yesterday regarding his trip the question of the expense of foreign travel was raised. “The cost of such a trip is not much” declared the judge. “In fact it is amazingly cheap,”he added. “My tickets call for 32,000 miles of travel; five thousand, say by rail and the remainder by water. If I stop nowhere I could make it in seventy days, thus beating Phineas Fogg'sTime ten days. For this ticket r pay $625, and that includes board, and first class board at that, when I am oh the water; if I were disposed to be economical and took no more than seventy days, the trip could be made for S7OO, or less than two cents a mile,' feed for the most of the way included, the $75 over the $625 be ing for board while traveling by rail, but of course, Ido not expect to go for any snch money. I shall stop where Hike and stay as long as I like and will not figure on the cost. lam an old traveler and know that it is impossible for any one to roam from country to country for more than six months without getting a skin full of sight-seeing, so I expect to be back in Logansport about May Ist. 1900.” —Logansport Journal.
