pot. This beautiful piece of work exhibits
the best products of all the best manufac-
turers in the United States, and the object
in building the car was to show how COM
plete car co uld be made. 1t Is con-
structed of the best materials and of the
best designs, so that everything IN the car
is intended to be the best of Its kind that can
be made by each particular manufacturer.
It is, in a sense, the outgrowth OF the re-
cent railway exposition at Chicago. 1t
was constructed for the use of the proprie-
tor of the Railway Age" well known
publication devoted wholly to railroad
matters. II one end of the car is kitch-
en- with a range, and all the utensils for
cooking, pantries for crockery, table linen,
glassware, ETC., ETC., so that everything
can be served on the car in the choicest
and most abundant manner. The remain
der of the car is divided off into a
large parIor for general use, one
good sized bedroom with suitable
closets, and a general work room, and it is
furnished also with several large berths.
The parlor is supplied with an abundance
of the best kind of furniture and an
elegant carpet. The interior of the car is
constructed mostly of mahogany, with just
enough lighter colored woods to relieve it
from being too heavy. French plate glass
mirrors adorn one side of the parlor, and
sofas and easy chairs also add to the luxu-
rious furnishing of the pleasant room. In
one corner of the parlor is gentleman's
mahogany writing desk, just over which
is a glass case about two feet in length
containing q locomotive made of solid
silver and gold, which is valued at
$4,000. The occupants of this car are E.
II. Talbot, the proprietor of the Railway
Age" with his wife; II. R. Hobart, of the
Railway Age" and his wife; John A.
Fraser, artist of the Railway Age" and
Miss Nellie W. Herrick, all of Chicago.
Miss Herrick is the sister of Miss Jennie
Herrlck, who is member of the Chicago
Ideal Opera company, now playing at the
Opera house in st. Paul. Mr.. Hobart will
stop off at Mlnnetonka, and return to
Chicago, on account Of i'll health. Miss
Herrick acts as short hand
reporter and type writer for Mr.
Talbot. She has her type writer on board
the car and transacts business the same as
though she was in the Office in Chicago.
When the car leaves the union depot to-
morrow morning it will go to Minnetonka
and then on to Winnipeg and out to the end
of the. e.Canadian Pacific road. After inspect
ing that road the car will return and go to
Yellowstone Park, across the continent to
Portland, and probably to California. 1t
will probably be six weeks or two months
on the trip. Mr.. Talbot was having invi-
tations issued yesterday afternoon to the
