Commencing on Wednesday, April

imum rate for equipped berths in
PuIlman's Tourist Sleeping Cars be-
tween Missouri River terminals and
San Francisco, Los Angeles or inter
mediate points, and vice versa, via.
Union Pacific will be $3.50 per berth.
The berths in these cars, are fitted
up complete with mattresses, blankets
sheets and pillows, requiring nothing
to be furnished by passengers. Uni
formed Pullman porters are in charge
of the cars, who keep them in good
order and attend to the wants of pas
sengers. The cars are of a new and
modern pattern, and while not so ele-
giant are just as comfortable as first
class sleepers. Both first and second
class passengers are permitted to oc-
cupy these cars on payment of berth
rates as above specified

The Worlds Richest Woman.

The death Of James c. Flcue Al
Heidelberg leaves hls daughter, Mi
Jennie Flood, VINO was with him at
the time of his death, probably the
richest woman in the world. She
certainly the richest woman in the
United States, being the heir of ali
his immense wealth. She is said by
old Califoruians here to be a modest
and sensible young woman, not affect
ed by her wealth, which amounted to
several millions before her fathers
death. When the bonanza mines were
at the zenith of their prosperity Mr..
Flood gave his daughter S2,5O0,OOO
in United States bonds at one time as
a birthday present. There have been
numerous stories rife about Eer, as
would be natural with a young women
occupying her position. Once she
was SAID TO De ABOUT TO take the veil
in convent, and at another time it
was said she was about to give all her
fortune to the endowment of con-
vent She refused many offers of mar
riage. One was from an English mo-
bleman, Lord Beaumont, whom she
evidently feared was more smitten
with her pocketbook than her charms
1t was said that she was engaged to
be married to one of the Grant boys,
U. S. Grant, Jr,, who afterwards mar
ried the late ex-senator Chafee's
daughter, and there was probably
some foundation for this story. Miss
Flood is still unmarried and must be
about % years old-N. Y Graphic.

One effect of the report of the Capital COM
mittee will be to restore the Augusta mind
for time to something like its normal con-
dition. This result is one that everybody,
irrespective Of his opinion as to where the
Capital should be, win contemplate with
satisfaction. for the condition of the Augusta
mind for some weeks past has been pitiabie
to behold. Think Of the agony that must
have been endured by that one of the Capt.
tai city's foremost orators. who conjured up
the horrible picture of the enactment of the
bloody scenes Of the French revolution In
Maine consequent upon the removal Of the
Capital to Portland. Then imagine If you
can the disturbed dreams Of the esteemed
Kennebec Jouina filed with visions of
floods. and Trojan horses full of Greeks, and
hordes Of Goths and Vandals pouring down
upon imperial Rome. Surely the heart that
could be unmindful of these sorrows and not
rejoice that alienation has come must be of
fiinty hardness.

The Portland and Rochester Extern


II must not be forgotten that the coming
municipal election will settle not alone who
is to be Mayor Of the city for the year to
come, but the far more important question
whether the Portland & Rochester Railroad
Company is to be allowed to extend its
tracks along the Park and through the poor
house property to the Union station. II the
citizens make a mistake in the choice of
mayor they can rectify it year hence, but
the decision of this Rochester matter is
irrevocable and for all time to come.
The question presented to The people is
essentially-indeedi 1t is precsely-the ques-
tion presented to the Board OF Aldermen.
And the arguments offered pro and con at
that time are just as applicable now. The
Portland & Rochester Company ask to be
allowed to extend their tracks along the route
proposed, alleging that it will be for the ad
vantage OF the city to permit them to do so.
Their counsel before the Board Of Aldermen
admitted that unless 1t was shown that it
would be for the interest of the city that the
extension be made the Board should not
allow It, If it was incumbent to show this to
the satisfaction of the Board of Aldermen it
is equally incumbent to show 1t to the people.
who now take the place of the Board. OF
course ''for the interest of the people" means
that the benefits of the extension will more
than balance its detrimental effects. For if
1t brings advantages in some directions at
the expense of greater disadvantages in
others 1t cannot be said to be in the interest
of the people.
There are only two advantages absolutely
assured by this extension: one is that
passengers can be transferred from the
Grand Trunk depot to the Union passenger
depot, and vice versa, more expeditiously
after the extension is built than now. the
other Is that freight cars can be set down ON
Back Bay at less cost than at present. Now
these are the only advantages absolutely
certain to flow from the extension, and IT il
possible to obtain the second one by a re-
duction Of charges on the existing roads
without this extension.
Now what is the price? First, several
railroad tracks running by the Park, which
will greatly injure the Park as 1t exists at
present and absolutely prevent the extension
Of 1t in the future.
Second, the running of a railroad through
the only street leading out of the city to the
Northwest through which a railroad does
not now run.
Third, the complete destruction Of the
value of wide strip of the poor farm prop
erty for building purposes, and large re-
duction in the value of the remainder.
Fourth, the building of several bridges
which the city will doubtless have to pay for.
Inc price is obviously so out of pro-
portion to the advantages assured that If
. .ne proposition were presented the people in
WIS form they would vote it down unani-
uouSiy yet the advantages presented here
ale an tne advantages the Portland & |
i.OcneSter Railroad Company assure. The |
oIner advantages with which they try to |
surround this scheme are all in the air. They |
profess 70 think that the extension will |

While the report of the committee on the
removal of the Capital is not altogether to
our liking, still, perhaps it is on the whole
ludicious. There was Of course considera-
BILE force in the argument made by the oppo-
nents Of removal that inasmuch as this ques-
ton was not under discussion when the
members Of the Legislature were elected
and was very important one, this Legisla-
ture ought not to settle it, but it should wait
the election of Legislature chosen after the
subject had been brought to the attention of
the people. This argument undoubtedly
had force with the committee, and induced
them to recommend that the settlement of
the question be deferred until the next Leg
islature meets. Portland's case will not suf-
fer from discussion. The facts are almost
all IN her favor, and it is only necessary to
get them before the people to convince them
OF the wisdom of the proposed change.
Portland's claims rest ON solid foundation
and cannot be shaken. Prejudice may keep
the Capital away from her, but reason urges
her selection, because she is more accessible
tothe majority of the people of the State
than any other city or town; because she
can furnish better accommodations at small
er expense than any other city or town in
the State; because the work of the Legisla-
ture would be subjected to closer SCRUTINY In
Portland and therefore would be freer from
Objectionable measures. If reason holds
sway Portland will be the Capital of the
State within few years. But if prejudice
and jealousy get control Augusta may con-
tinue to be the seat Of government.

build up manufactures on Back Cove
and give employment to labor.
Are they willing TO give any guarantee to
this effect? Not particle. They say that
perhaps the Grand Trunk may feel interest
ed enough in this scheme to abandon their
present depot and unite with the Rochester
and build station on Back Cove which will
be more convenient for people down town
than the Union depot. But the attorney OF
the Grand Trunk takes good care that no
pledge to that effect comes from his railroad
through him, and the president of that road
manifests the mildest kind of interest. The
citizens Of Portland have listened to glowing
predictions by the Portland Rochester
railroad before. They have heard 1t expa-
tiate on the magnificent through line to New
York, and the tremendous advantages that
would come from the Marginal Way Have
any of these glowing predictions been real
lied? bow is 1t with the magnificent line to
New York, which should cut out Boston?
That has fallen into innocuous desuetude,
and the road is now apparently seeking
above all things connection with the Bos-
ton & Maine, which runs to Boston. Has the
Marginal Way realized predictions? Now if
tie predictions of the road in the past have
failed to materialize, what reason is there to
believe in the predictions of the present?
How would private individual regard them
IL he were asked to make the sacrifice de
manded Of the city on the strength of themP
But even assuming that every advantage
that is predicted will come TO pass-assuming
that Back Cove will be covered with manu.
featuring establishments, that magnificent
depot will spring up at the foot of Preble
street, that great ocean steamships will
unload at Fish Point and ship their freight to
the West over this Rochester railroad, then
the sacrifice demanded of the city ought
not to be made simply because 1t is unnec-
essary. All the connection the Rochester
needs with the Union Station and all it ever
will need can be had by the route around
Woodford's on far less detrimental terms to
the city. To be sure the Rochester road now
says this route is impracticable, but remove
the hope of getting any other and see what
view it win take Of it then. Suppose the
Woodford's Corner route is not quite so con-
yenent as the route proposed, suppose 1t
will cost the Rochester road little mora,
which is by no means certain. ought the
city of Portland to be called upon to sacri-
flee its interests merely to convenience
little the Rochester road and diminish the
expense to its owners, the Boston & Maine?
The Portland & Rochester road itself is on
record though its President asIdeclaring that
II the poor house property could be sold for
$4,000 it was too valuable for railroad pur-
poses. A bona .fde offer of that amount has
been made for 1t. The Portland & Roches-
ter road has therefore practically told the
people that this property ought not to be sa-
crlficed as is proposed. Yet with unaccount-
able inconsistency and. In the face of its own
declarations. with what must be considered
reckless disregard Of the public interests it
persists in demanding the sacrifice.

Under the existing law the city marshal
of Portland is appointed by and holds Office
during the pleasure of the Mayor. Mr.. Loon
ey introduced bill in the House yesterday
designed to make the appointment or remoy-
al subject to the approval of the aldermen,
with special provision applying the bill to
the present force. 1t would be interesting
t)know the origin Of the bill. There has
certainly been no public demand for the
change. The city council has not asked it,
neither have the people. 1t is the general
feeling Of Portland people that inasmuch as
public opinion holds the Mayor responsible
for the shortcomings of the police depart
ment he should have control over the head of
that department. 1t may be that the bill
was prepared purely in the interests of all
the people of Portland, but 1t has very sus-
picious look. And the time of this dscov-
cry of need of change in the law-three
or four days before municipal election
doesn't tend at all to relieve 1t from suspi-
