hEsty inspection Of the Mann Boudoir
car "Stradclls" yesterday by the scribe
OF yesterdays article, and the short note
given 1t, as a Justice 70 the car and the
courtesy OF the Queen & Crescent route,
TIE GAZETTE takes occasion TO give
more extended description OF the "Stra-
della" Through the courtesy OF Mr..
Lupton the reporter was taken through
the car and given general description OF
all its perfections The car Is supported
by elegant paper wheels Of the most i'm.
proved pattern, Is about seventy-four
feet long, capable OF accommodating
forty-eight passengers. The wash
looms, two In number, one at either end,
contain five metallic basins supplied
With hot and cold water, having waste
pipes manipulated by raising OF me-
talic tube, which admits Of waste water
being emptied without solling the hands
The closets are supplied with running wa
ter as arranged in a hrst-class hotel
The cooking and lighting Of the car is by
gas, the supply being furnished from gas
tank beneath the car, carrying a three
weeks supply. The sleeping arrange
ments are Of the finest and most complete
yet seen. Passengers lie crosswise OF
the car-tbe most vital part--thc head,
being in the center OF the car which Is a
guarantee against accidents. Sleeping
crosswise OF the car would also DC more
desirable and comfortable on account of
the side motion when running The ven
tllatlon is also one Of the most important
features Of the car. At the end Of the car
is an ice-box capable OF carrying
COO pounds Of ice from which
cool air passes through the air-chambers
at the side OF the car In the aisle, which
In the summer guarantees Il temperature
OF 70' during the hottest days. In win
ter the car is heated by furnace having
hot water-pipes running through each
section. Strict privacy Ii always as
sured-each section being an elegant
state-room. There are apartments for
ladies entirely alone, IN which no gentle
men are admitted. This car was thronged
with ladies and gentlemen all day yester-
day and to-day, fully 500 visiting It
each day. All agree with one accord that
the "StrOdella" Is one Of the most elc.
giant coaches that has ever rolled the
tracks ot the Lone Star State. Conductor
Smith states that the main question put
to him by the inquiring visitors IL,
When will these cars be run from Fort
Worth and Dallas2 IL Is rumored that
~
route hope TO be able TO establish Il
thorough line in the near future from
Fort Worth and Dallas To Cincinnati and
Atlanta, going via the Texas 6 Pacific to
Shreveport, thence over the Queen &
Crescent route TO Cincinnati and At
lanta. The Texas editors will, no donbt,
be agreeable surprised when they fad
that Superintendent Krauth OF Cincin-
natl has Instructed Conductor Smith
TO charge delegates nothing for the use
OF their elegant car "Stradella" from
Dallas TO Cincinnati and the Queen &.
Crescent management through It's general
, passenger agent, II. Collburn, and It's
Southwest agent, George Lupton, will
furnish free railroad transportation.
Such generosity on the part OF these two
corporations in having provided so elc.
gantly for the editors speak volumes In
their favor, and will most certainly be a
big card FOR Them In Texas. The party
will leave Dallas for Cincinnati Friday At
$40 p, IN.
