 Senator SharOn's PuIIman Car.
 [wrshington Letter to Detroit Free Press.J
 Last winter, when Senator Sharon had to yield to pressure and warm his chair in the United States Senate, he ordered out his Pull man palace car and gave his steward carte Ina fn ita forS will all the good things that made his life worth , living. Fish, fowl and fruit, game wines and ice and every vegetable from the crisp, earth blanched celery to that "plumed knight, the tassled corn, were put away each in it's proper place. The Senator and his secretary, Miss Sharon and young lady friend, who had been invited to accompany her, and four gen. tlemen acquaintances, guests of the Senator, made up the party. The Virginia and Truck trains speeded them on to Reno, where tho Pullman was coupled to the Atlantic express on the Central Pacific railroad, and they pur- sued the morning. The fire glowed in the range, and shone on polished pots, pans and porcelain utensils in the cutest of kitchens, as clean as 8 holy stoned deck. In the pantry is pastry table which, when raised, discloses a zinc sink for washing dishes. Pudding and jelly moulds, skewers, steamers and sauce pans as bright as silver hang on the hooks of the dresser. Stores of delicate china are nestled in the snug closets, crystal and silver ware crown the oaken buffet In the adjourn ing room, where there is table. The car is miracle of convenience and comfort. It was built at the Pullmsn car shops in Detroit It is constructed of rare woods, whose beauty of quality and grain have been brought out by oil polishing and shellac. There are mir TOTS and hanging book-shelves. The evening card table is the breakfast and dining-tsble of the day time. The upholstery is bronze leather, fastened with silver headed nails. There is hot and cold water in the bathroom; the seats are converted into luxurious beds at night and partitions envelop them with all the privacy of sleeping apartments produced like magic from nowhere. Even England's queen does not travel so royalty as this silver satrep of the Sierras. Rolling along in his palace, on the sixth day he reaches the end of his journey without fatigue or annoyances of any kind, and the whole party alight as fresh as daisies. The Pullman is stored in the car house until such time as the senator shall choose to return to Nevada.
