Pullman Palace Cars.

The Pullman palace sleepers are about as
near perfection as human ingenuity can make
them. 1t is perfectly wonderful to what a
fine point everything has been brought on
these regal structures. Yesterday the "Moor-
head" Pullman sleeper built for the North
ern Pacific road, reached st. Paul, and stood
on the track al the union depot all day where
it was visited and admired by q great many
people. 1t is the second one of the last six
ordered by this company that has reached st.
Paul. Last week, the first one, named "Bis.
marck," passed through this city to the great
Northwest, and the other four will arrive soon.
These movable palaces are really wonderful in
their mechanism. With paper wheels, steel
and rubber springs, patent boxes, and
various other ingenious inventions, the
car moves without noise, and
Oh a properly constructed track, almost with
out observable motion. All the wood work
of the interior is solid, carefully selected.
cherry, of deep bright red color, which
takes on a high polish. The panel work, or
the under part of the upper berths, which
when closed up for day service, shows rs
panel work, is OF the finest and most delicate
inlaid work, and looks more like exquisite
painting than anything else. All
the work on the interior of the
car is of the same beautiful delicate, graceful
character. In no private parlor is the work
more complete and artistic than in the interior
OF these cars. By system of scientific ven
tilation pure air without dust is insured.
Every inch Of space is utilized and made to
administer TO the comfort of the traveller
One of the upper berths was let down yester-
day just to show those present how 1T looked
and what there was in it. 1t was a wonder.
The berth is held in place by pully chains
while berth safety ropes made of
twisted steel wires, hold the berth down and
prevent it from closing up in case OF an acct
dent. The headbOard edge and groove is padd
ed with plush, so that IT makes no noise at
all. Section hooks are abundant, to hang up
little things on. The mattress is Of white
curled hair, the blankets and curtains are
thick, soft and beautiful, and everything about
1t is suggestive of comfort and luxury. The
whole car is a marvel OF exquisite taste and
artistic excellence. The service on these cars
is after all the most important thing. They
are run by the Pullman company independent
ly OF the railroadcompany aud everything about
these cars is managed with military precision.
One watch stays on in each car till o'clock
in the morning when he changes off and
another comes on, so that sneak thieves have
no business on these cars. This makes travel
on them safe and secure as well as an enjoy
ment. When Moorhead sees her namesake
she will see a beautiful piece OF work.
In Quest OF Cash, eastman Reaches 0uOd.
Cornelius eastman is "hard cash" man.
He is full of cussedness and acquainted with
the police and the inside Of jails. Apparently
he would rather be into trouble than to be
president-of an insurance company or saw:
ings bank. No sooner does he get out of one
scrape than he is into another; in fact he is
prone to evil. His last exploit took place yes
terday evening when he tackled an insophistt
Gated Swece on Dayton's bluff, and accor
ing to the Swede's story not only knocked hi n
down and kicked him, but also robbed him IL
between $25Sand $50 in greenbacks. TIE vie
tim reported the matter to the police, and
about 10 o'clock last evening officer Mortar "
arrested eastman and landed him in the Loo T.
up. For further particulars see the police re-
port ia the GLOBE tomorrow morning.
