Y. N. c. A. Entertainment.

The entertainment at the Y. M. G. A. last
night was great success IN spite of the
Storm The principal feature of the even
ing's festivities was the wonderful phono-
graph, which gave out vocal and instrumental
music, including cornet solo that was just
the real thing Mr.. George A. Thomas was
then introduced to. the machine and request
ed to amuse it with music. He complied
with two or three we'll known selections, and
tested its capacities fully by some
Of his inimitible limitations. The
exhibitor, Mr.. King, then called
for a whistler. No one volunteered at
first, but Mr. L. w. A. johnson was called
and whistled tune The talking apparatus
was then put in motion and everything came
out exactly as it went in and delighted every
body. At the end of the Photographic ex-
hibition supper was served and there were
other pleasant features.

Sleeping Car improvements.

An important innovation in the constIuc-
ton of sleeping cars is about to be brought
to public attention by the Pullman Compa
ny. In its way it is as novel as the vesti-
bule arrangement, which is now being adopt
ed from the Pullman people for day coaches
by several of the great Western lines. The
novelty consists in the introduction of two
extra drawing rooms, making four instead of
two for each sleeper. The need of the ad-
ditional accommodation is felt particularly
on such trains as Raymond & Whitcomb en-
ploy for their California and Mexico bust
ness. The train which leaves Boston tomOr-
row at o'clock for Southern California will
be on exhibition at the Fitchburg station
from II to O'Clock prior to its departure,
and two sleepers therein, the Nantasket and
the Sydenham, have the new features. The
drawing rooms are adjacent at each end Of
these cars, while the entire space contains
six ordinary Pullman sections. The rooms
are beautifully upholstered in seal brown
plush, and tie doors are arranged in such a
way as to provide each with private toilet
room. The remaining cars of the train are
finished no less tastefully, and the whole
equipment, with vestibules and steam heat,
make up as handsome train as was ever
seen in Boston. The cars. besides the two
named above, are the sleepers Whitcomb
and Holden, the library car Harvard and the
dining car Alcazar. They all 60 through to
the Pacific coast, as we'll as a similar train

Whereas, The Ladies' Circle has lost in Sister

church. but in her daily life, had the interest of
her CHURCH at heart.
RESOLVED, That we will cherish her memory and
ever strive to emulate her maly noble qualities of
mind and heart which won for her innumerable
friends and gave her so prominent place in the
regard of those who knew her best.
Resolved, That we tender our sincere sympathy
to the afflicted husband, family and friends to
whom she was especially dear, and that a copy
OF these resolutions be sent them, and also to the
daily papers, and spread upon the records.

Of all the pretty attract

holidays there is nothing
more popular than the
dainty Indian baskets.
They are not your idea
of an Indian basket at all.
No gaudy colors, no fussy
fancifulness about them,
nothing suggestive Of dirty
tents and greasy Indians,
but the clean white splints
skillfully woven in simple
designs, a bit Of delicate
color at the top and bot
tom, and a wisp Of Of aro-
matte sweetgrass twisted
in the handle.
Many of the shapes we
are showing are of our own
originating, and the deco
rations of the plain baskets
are wholly ours. The
choicest of these baskets
come to us in very small
quantities, owing to the
unusual demand for the
palmer kinds, so the sup
ply at Christmas time will
be necessarily limited
which is a hint for you to
come now while the stock
