COLONEL WRIGHT, who was confirmed
yesterday as Commissioner of the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, and who will soon come
to Washington to organize that department,
is evidently eminently fitted for the posi-
tion to which he has been called.
Colonel Wright says that National Bu-
Ieau of Labor Statistics is of the utmost i'm
portance and will be productive of excel
lent results. Colonel Wright is not a
theorlst. He says that the adjustment of
the relations between capital and labor and
the amelioration of the condition of the
laboring men must depend upon universal
know ledge of the questions at issue, of
popular education and enlightenment and
upon the gradual dawn of moro advanced
ideas. This progress toward the millennium
can be acquired only through such agencies
as the new bureau, disseminating knowl-
edge, showing the actual condition of in
dustries and working men, tho practical
operations Of the laws of wages and profits
and the actual results and relations of tho
great agencies in the production of wealth.
The exclusion of politics, prejudice and
theory from such work as this tends to
multiply its usefulness and efficacy by in
suring confidence in and inviting earnest
consideration to its results.

MANN BouDolR CARS.
Travelling in Luxury.

The first of the Mann boudoir cars,
which are to be placed on the "limited" be-
tween Baltimore and Cincinnati, arrived at
the Baltimore & Ohio Depot attached to the
1:50 p. m. limited on Wednesday, and were
Immediately switched of on side track.
large number of railroad aud newspaper
men were present for the purpose of inspec-
tipn. 1t wanted but q glance at the exterior
TO insure the party that every comfort for
travelling had been perfected on the in
terror of these cars.
The interior decorations of polished
amaranth wood, rich hangings Of French
tapestry, artistic and beautiful designs of
gilded and bronzed embossed leather, to-.
gether with handsome beveled-edged mir
rors, incased in the panels, give the car the
appearance Of the interior of an elegant
residence. On the left on entering is the
lavatory, where hot and cold water is fur
nshed, the waste pipe Of the nickle-plated
basin being connected with valve, which
does away with the chain aud plug arrange
ment.
The most valuable arrangement in the
car Is the method Of ventilation, which
forces the air through an oval pipe on tho
apptex, passing through an ice-chest and a
packing of "Excelsior," which filters and
puriiies the air. The temperature of the
car can be reduced from O to degrees in
the summer. In the winter the heat is
furnished through the registers by steam
pipes.
library in one end OF the car contains
achoice collection OF one hundred volumu5.
The compartments arc most handsomely
furnished, the beddings, etc, are carried
in the bottom Of the seats which forms the
berths. One of there bOudors is retained
exclusively for ladies travelling alone. The
corridors are spacious. The seats are hand
sOmely upholstered and comfortable, aud
nothing is lacking in the way Of perfection
Of travelling with ease and comfort.

This is the end of Italy's journal. Mrs.
Bell entered, conducting girl of fifteen
years.
She was followed by a Frenchy looking
servant carrying numerous wraps, and by
Jack making grimaces as he entered be-
hind the group.

"Nanette, this is my niece, Italy Leland, "
Mrs. Bell said
aAh," the young girl said, lifting her
glasses and surveying the slender, black
robed figure from her brown, waving hair
to the toe of her English walking shoe.
"The bright refined face of Italy flushed

with genial kindliness she said

"You wouldn't just have it now, would

"Nanette lifted her eyebrow, the eye
glasses went up also, and she regarded
Jack with sort of glaring intentness.
"You are not accustomed to boys, Nan
cite; mine | fear, are little outspoken,
but time will remedy that defect" Mrs.
Bell remarked, with apparent satisfaction.
When the boys reached their cottage
room that night their comments on Nan
cite were unfavorable.

me if am worse.
30, hang it, Will, why do you do that?"
Jack exclaimed, 81 don't like to sleep out
in the cottage house alone"
swell, cowardy, you know John is not
far off," Will replied.
81 don't know any such thing; he goes
and comes as he likes att night" was Jacks
rejoinder.

said, putting on his slippers and taking up

"Not hop from me tonight, my lad,

in a mufaed voice from the bed clothes.
"I can lock it and take the key with
me, and when [ come back to dress in the

ingly.

was shaken hastily.
Italy opened the door.
The face she met was white and drawn.
"Why what is it Will. What can be
the matter, Italy exclaimed.
"Give me your door key, quick. I've
locked Jack in the cottage and mislaid the
key, and oh, the cottage is on fire and we
cannot waken him." cried Will.
"Here it is. Will, there is a plank from
the bath room window to Jacks window
in the cottage; [ saw the painters on it to-
day painting the windows"
"Great Scott, | can't get across there,
I'll try the key"
In the yard before the cottage the alarm
was intense. The little distance into the
city had to be traversed before an engine
could arrive. The flames were already
roaring through the lower rooms, above
which Jack was quietly sleeping.
