HOW HE DOES 1T.
Palace Car Pullman and His Method Of
Furnishing Luxurious Car.
rSparjal Cor1eSnondenca

NEW YORK Feb. 16-Along with the
other improvements which are being made
in the direction of luxurious travelling by
the Pullman company, attention is
especially attracted by the perfect har-
mony Of color and design in the furniture
and decorations. This is more noticeable
than it was formerly, because in the
modern vcstibuled trains there is greater
scope for variety and harmony OF rich
decorations. The carpets, the upholstery,
the hangings and the wood work are all as
rich and tasteful as will be found in
private parlors, yet they have all been
chosen with so careful an eye to the
harmony of color and effect that no indi-
yidual feature is obtrusiyc.
Ladies are especially struck by this
artistic effect, and to their practiced eyes
it betrays something more than the work
of the professional "furnisher." spoke
to Mr. Pullman Of the matter the other
day, and expressed my surprise mt his sue
cess. His explanation Of the modus oper-
andi Of furnishing II vestibuled train
proves thaL the ladies are right, there is u
touch more delicate than mans in the
work.
Mr.. Pullman first goes alone to the up
holsterers who furnish the cars, and has q
model section, or reading room, as the
| case may be, laid out. He sometimes
| spends day or two in getting the fabrics
| to suit his eye. Then when it seems about
| right he takes his wife to view and criti-
else the result She, in turn, goes with
| two or three friends, ladies in whose good
taste she has confidence, and they consult,
alter and cri;icise until result is attained
| which is rs rich rs harmonious combina-
| ton OF fabric and decoration can make it.
| A woman realizes intuitively, what to a
man is evident upon moments consider
| alton, that deprived of the advantages OF
| variety Of shape, long soft hangings, pict-
| ures and knicknacks railroad car is about
the most awkward thing in the world to
furnish to make it "look anything" We
see how hidcOus it can be in the old fash
toned passenger coaches, and it is only
after comparison that we realize the mag
nitude of the task which Mr. Pullman has
so successfully accomplished. With the
great increase of comfort brought about
by the vestibuled feature, it would almost
seem that We have reached the acme Of
luxury in the matter of railroad travelling
though Mr.. Pullman, who no sooner per
fects one invention that he sets 10 worl
upon another, says that as yet the sciencS
of car building is only in it's infancy ant
that the next twenty years VIII see NOR
improvements than have been made in tn,
past thirty. ALLAN FoRMAN.

astic MS he gets into his subject, cuts the
air with his gestures, and pounds the
desks of his fellow senators as he cnforces
his points. lie is very clear in his
thought. and there is u spice of satire that
creeps noE ard then into his speeches
which is hardly appreciated by some Of
his fellow senator's
Senator Frye is radical Republican.
lie votes the straight ticket, and he does
not scruple to call things by Republican
names. He is tall, straight and rather
boyish looking, though he is 81 years old,
and his hair looks as though it had been
peppered by white powder box. He is a
man Of culture, being graduate of Bow
doin, and he has been in politics during
the greater part Of his life. He succeeded
James &. Blaine as chairman of the Re-
publican state committee of Maine In
1891, and he had served twelve years in
the lower house before he took Blaine's
seat in the senate. Senator Frye il just
now packed full of his last summers trip
to Europe, and during his speech in the
senate he mentioned the fact that the
workmen of Glasgow were idle for a
whole week during his stay there, and
that this must come from over production.
Senator Beck, however, says that this was
fair week and Frye did not know it. Frye,
he says he found people living ON starva-
ton wages all over Europe, girls in Nene-
tian factories working for five cents a
day, and that the highest wages Of the
iron workers of Belgium was not over

10000 families in

who are employed
in the Manchester
mills, make less

wonderful possibilities of its fast
growing country. He says that Omaha
Is rivaling Kansas City; that it will
noon surpass it, and he thinks it Is

the west. Henderson, however, owns
nice ," Of property in Omaha, and it may
be that his real estate interests somewhat
affect his judgment. Kansas City Is
booming, and its growth is proportion
ately about the same as that of Omaha.
Senator Henderson sits in the middle OF
The Republican side of the chamber, and
during part Of the session he hobnobs
with John Sherman. He is much
younger man than Sherman, and he was

Slelphia, moved to Ohio, fought in the
army, aud came out general. AEer the

moved to Omaha about seventeen years
ago lie is straight, fine looking young

IS one OF the lew senators who do not have
to use hair restoratives. lie is Il man OF
ability, and he is one Of the senators who
think in good language, lie can dictate
as easily as he can write, and he makes
speeches so good that during his trip to
Florida, last spring, he met Il young man
who told Henderson that he was model
ing his style after his, and that he had
pile of Manderson's speeches as thick as
dictionary, and it was as well thumbed rs
a schoolbOy's two-year-old spelling book.
Henderson is very popular man In the
IN ft.,.
Judge, a very respectable enemy. He is
one of the youngest senators ut heart, and
there Is no dyspepsia about his constitu-
.ioD He is the best traveller l have ever
met, and during the trip TO Cuba he saw
more than any other member OF the Sher-
man party. He was up early and vent
TO bed late, and he can make now an ac-

This barn is almost as well built as a
