For some time We have heard hints Of
- Hue OF hotel cars for The Omaha and
CaliiornIs line Of The Chicago aud North
;wbslern Railway. When asked about
|tkSIF cars. The officers have uniformly
svAded direct reply. Our reportoriAl
lRstlacts taught Us TO invest lgaic for our.
Iskes. We have done 30, aud are now
enabled 20 state positively that su,h a line
Will be started IN the early spring, aud
that the cars are now being built. The
fact will no longer remain secret after
this days paper gets before the public.
Foar Of the most magnificent hotel cars
that have been built anywhere are now
being constructed by the Pullman Palace
Car Company expressly for this lue.
These cars will be sixiy.six feet long, ten
feet wide, and len feet high, with twelve
50 ctions, one drawing-room (wilh table
room for six persons) and one state room
besides the kitchen, china closet, dressing
room. etc. The interior will be finished
With black aud white walnut, mahogany,
French ash and curled maple, the place
OF the usual head lining being fled In
with foreign polished woods; the pan
els between the windows will be OF Cali
forniA laurel and other California woods;
the lamp fixtures, window tastenings,
door hardware, ETC., will be triple plat.
ed silver The upholstery Of the seats IL
TO be Of rich but plain reps, correspond
ing aud harmonizing with the wood fin.
ish ot the sides aud root Of the cars. Be
tween each set OF seats il space for a
table that will accommodate four persons
comfortably. but as rule are not expect
ed 10 seat more than two persons. The
glass aud chinaware for the tables are
now being made ut Dresden, Germany,
from patterns selected from the Royal
Dresden exhibit that WAS at the Centen-
nial Exposition aud SO greatly admired
Eeach piece Of silverwAre, glassware aud
chlnaware will have the monogram OF
the Chicago II North Western road
marked thereon. The kitchen OF the cars
will be so arranged that no fumes from
the cooking viauds can reach the occu-
pants OF the berths, On each car will be
u steward, two cooks, three walters, aud
4 chambermaid TO wait upon lady patrons
II is the intention OF the company TO fur
nish the best meals that money can buy,
aud choice wines aud cigars will be at
tainable by those desiring those luxuries.
These hotel cars will leave Chicago on
the California Express, and run through
to the Missouri river. On the western
bound train, dinner, supper and break
fast will be served. The eastern bound
hotel cars will leave Omaha on the At
lantic Express each day, in the afternoon
On this train supper, breakfast and din
ner will be served. Thus passengers
bound in either direction will be enabled
TO lave all their meals en- route and yet
not leave their palatal travelling parlor.
The only objection that has ever been
raised against the use Of hotel cars has
been connected with the odors of the
kitchen. AS we said before, this In these
care, will be entirely obviaied; no person
no matter how particular he or she may
be, will have cause TO make any objection
on this score. In the dining car you
merely get ,onr meals, aud as soon rs
you ate through eating You are showed
out nnd started for the c"nch ur Shopper,
20 AS l0 make room Tor some other trsy-
eer who desires yonr pace While IN
these hotel cars your berth will be te.
cured through, you wiluwn it absolutely
for The length of our nip, add IL will be
your ow9 for lUunging, Niitiug, sleeping
aud eating purposes n much a. your0wn
seat in your own house. As il is not
generally Known, dinius cars are never
run over the entire length pi any r'ule;
they are taken on aud yet If the lrain ~
stated n-ul tiinrs, while lhe.e hotr ears
will be INSIDE purt ol The train and Inu
through IN the -aue wn, - the regular
sleeping car.
On the admirable steel rail that Is now
laid on the Chicago Il North Weslsrn
Railway, these elegant, sixteen. wheeled
hotel cars will ride ~ easy aud with a.
little noise or oscillation a. balloon that
floats serenly through the air; and We
believe II will be found to be result
thst thousands viii h0ck 10 this Pioneer
Line, who have hitherto gone by some
other route.
With these and other improvements
the people OF Cedar Rapids are very
largely interested aud we believe viii
join with Us 10 e0ugratulaiing the pro-
gressiye management Of this great line Ia
this It's most advanced step; aud uniie
with u ia saying, the Chicago & North
Western RaiIwsy has become The force
most road 10 al the West.
These hotel cars will be placed 10 ser.
