are sometimes found by means of what is
called an ''over-report, - in which the agent
at a certain town reports to headquarters any
articles received by him which do not belong
at his station.
After being classified upon the books be-
fore mentioned, the bill which accompanies
the reception of package is given with its
comrades upon the book into the hands Of
the billing clerk, who proceeds to make an
other and more elaborate bill. and from this
several copies are made. There are usually
four required-one each for the conductor
general freight agent and auditor, and one
for the Office records. In addition to this, a
weekly or monthly abstract of these details is
made for the inspection of the auditor Of the
road, who checks up mistakes in weight,
charges, extension, etc. For all of these the
agent is held responsible, and he In turn
locates the direct responsibility by reference
to his own records and signature of clerk
upon the original bill. To lessen the proba-
bllity of these notifying little occurrences
in well-regulated Offices an expert accountant
is kept at work nightly, whose special duty is
to run over the days work and see that the
details are figured correctly.

CLEyELAND's BED CHAMBER.
The Gorgeous Room in Which the President
Takes His Rest.

Washington Letter.
President Cleveland moved at once, on
taking possession of the White house, into
his predecessors beautiful blue bed room.
The opposite room, in which President Gar
field was ill so long, and which was President
and Mrs. Hayes bed room, is occupied by
Miss Cleveland. Except Arthur and Cleve-
land, no presidents have occupied the room
which is now the bed chamber of the latter
and from December, 1881, until he moved
out Of the White house, last week, was the
bed room of the former. The other presi-
dents, including Grant, Hayes and Garfield,
usually slept in the opposite room, which, be-
ing on the south side of the mansion, is
sunny in winter and has breeze in sum-
mer. During President Grants admins
tration, until her marriage, Miss
Nellie Grant slept in the room President
Cleveland now has. and during the Hayes
administration his niece, Miss Plat, used it
until her marriage. When President Arthur
selected 1t in the autumn of 1881 for his bed
chamber it was superbly fitted up before he
moved into it. 1t has the furniture all up
holstered in ''baby blue" satin damask with
a faint gold flower wrought in it. The cur
tains at the windows and those beneath
the lace canopy over the bed are of the same
material, and there is also lounge
covered with the same, which looks
lust fit for lady's boudoir. Even the wood
work around doors and windows was painted
blue for President Arthur. The chamber set
is OF handsome black walnut, and includes
tall chest of drawers. Over the bed is lightly
thrown an eider-down quilt, one side of
which is sky-blue silk and the other deep
rose color. On the blue side are worked in
colors Kate Greenaway figures. Some of
them are human beings shaking hands with
each other, which probably is thought most
appropriate decoration for a presidents
bed-ouilt. A lam brequin Of blue satin covers
the marble mantel, aud the mirror above has
a red plush frame. There are in the room a
ssslipper chair" and ''boot chair,'' in one of
which. it is said, President Arthur sat TO
have his boots put on, and in the other when
encasing his feet in slippers. The latter
chair is of eboniZed wood and has straight
back and no arms. 1t and also the boot
chair have red plush cushions finished with
bows of satin ribbon. The ''boot chair'' is
of black wicker-work with gilded arms. Adj
Joining this luxuriously-furnished room on
one side, with communicating door is
bathroom, and on the other side also with
door of communication, is room less than
half the size of the bed-cbamber, which is
on the northwest corner and is fitted up as a
private Office It has handsome aud con-
venient desk in II, aud 1t used to be said that
President Arthur always worked there be-
tween l and or a. In. and then went to

NOTES FROM ELSEWHERE.

WHAT PLAYERS ARE DOING IN OTHER PLACES.
THE MlKADo."
Gilbert & Sullivan's new opera, 1.-THE Mi
kado," was brought out in London a week
ago and it scored a success. The opera
opens with scene in the palace of King
Koko in Titipu, and discovers the chorus
dressed in curious Japanese costumes, all
with fans in their hands, which theu wave as
they sing the following verse:
''If you want to know who we are
We are gentlemen of Japan;
On many vase and jar,
On many q screen and fan,
We figure in lively paint
With attitudes queer and quaint;
You're wrong if you think it amt
The wards of King Koko sing trio, which
created an immediate effect, to the words:
''Three little maids from school are we,
Pert as school girls well can be;
Three little maids who all unwary,
Come from a ladies' seminary
This goes to waltz movement and is very
catchy and melodious. 1t is followed by a
chorus of coincidence with the lover, who is
sentenced to decaptation. and which pro-
voked roars of laughter:
''To sit in solemn silence in a decided dark dock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock
From cheap and chippy chopper on a big black
block
The entire libretto teens with fun, and is
made up largely by suggestions from Mr.
Gilbert's own previous work in the "Bab
Ballads.''
GENERAL NOTES.

He will present his new play, ''The Strange

bubbling over with quaint humor and pathos,
and as affording the star fertile field for the
exercise of his rare gifts. During the play
he will render several of his popular songs,
interspersed with dances. The cast of char

brings up vivid remembrances of schoolboy
days. Grunting switch engines with bevel
topped tenders make constant dashes at the
pedestrian, and before he can sketch their
cow-catcherless outlines back coquettishly
out of sight. Train men remark "Hi, vi"
and blast the strangers ensanguined eyes
for an apparent attempt to bloody the track.
The yardmaster, man of short, sharp
conversation, comes striding along the track
with list of cars in his hand. In case he
does not give the list to the yard foreman
to look after, his first accomplishment
is to yank out a caboose from the row of
them and sings ii over where he wants it.
Then he picks out certain cars with date and
Eumber OF train marked in chalk on their
sides and fires them up against guilty look
ing young fellow who stands between them
and the caboose. Bang-bump-and the
young fellow steps aside nimbly, having
done his duty by risking his life for the sake
OF glory and S2.10 per day. 1t is understood,
Oh course, that the yardmaster does all this
giant work by proxy. He simply valves his
hand or howls pleasantly, and one OF the
ubiquitous engines dashes up and hooks
on to the cars he indicates. The rest is
easy sailing. After the young fellow, whose
life appears to be spent in racing ahead OF
the engine to turn switch or make COUP
ling and then ride on the place where the
cowcatcher usually rides, has stood the brunt
OF from fourteen to twenty cars, Of which the
train is said to be made up There are usu-
ually, however, three of these active chaps,
besides the engineer and fireman, who par
ticipate in the ceremony. In making up
train the usual way is to place those cars
nearest the engine which have the shortest
trip to make, placing at least
six cars between the caboose and
