Every mewhber of both houses of the legis'ature in Pennsylvania and New Jersey has been fur- Many of these passes and acquaintances, were bona flr possessors, and thus the railroad company ‘th. been constantly defrauded. To obviate this a bay py thought struck a member of the Penn- s) lvania legislature at its latest session. He sug- gested that 4 photograph of the person to whom & pess was granted should be attached to the back of the ticket The idea at first appsared Iudicrous, but nevertheless it is to be carried cut during the coming year. Every person da- niring to renew & paes must send forward a ph. lograph, which will be copied and the copy : on the ticket. Lest the arrangement might embarrass legislation, @ railroat photo prapher will be sent to Trenton and artisburg to take phutograpus without charge. N.Y.
