his ground on Rice street, between College and
summit avenues, by the erection of double
tenement house. The building is handsome
without, and conveniently arranged within.

more tenements in which to house the hosts of
people who are arriving by every train and

The two new chair cars lately put in use on
the Dakota division of the Northern Pacific
railroad, are elegantly finished and comfortable
day cars, and with the sleepers in use between
st: Paul and Fargo, enable one to make the

railway trip can be made. Each of the chair
cars is provided with twenty- eight pivot chairs,
smoking room for gentlemen and dressing
room for ladies. The extra charge for riding
on these cars is nominal sum, barely sufficient
to pay for the extra expense of running it in
place of common passenger car.

no trouble in arranging the matinee. There
