The Rock Island has inaugurated new

cradle interest in railway Improvement, it
all the conveniences of the palace car, in
Guiding colored porters in attendance, fine
hair mattresses, pillowsss blankets, soap,
etc. When made up for the night the
fourteen sections are partitioned off with
sliding panels and curtained with heavy
damask draperies. Tables. attachable to
the sides OF the interior, are provided for
each section. The cars are heated by
steam, the aisles carpeted, and cuspidores
for the cleanliness of the cars are added.
The duties of the porter accompanying
each car will be similar to those of the pal
ace car service-to look after the wants of
the passengers and see that the car is kept
perfectly clean. In one end is the ladies'
Iavatory, and in the other one for gentle
men, which are as nicely appointed and
furnished rs the most fastidious would
desire. The intention of the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska is to furnish these
cars free of charge to tourists or excursion
parties when the number of persons is suf-
ficiently large to justify the use OF a car or
cars. With such accommodations, and
without charge, there is no further neces-
sity of western tour without sleeping ac
com modations, nor is it necessary to make
such trip expensive. 1t Is great in
ducement for parties, clubs, or any con-

no doubt be generally adopted by those in

n Ease Tragedy.
The umpire took his station
Just back of the batter's base,
And he wore an air quite debonairo
AS he posed with easy grace.
A ball came hotly whizzing
Stra ght at his devoted head,
But the batsman's bat just gave it spat
And over the wall it sped.
Then away the batsman skurried,
Like race horse on the track,
And as he flew he wildly threw
His deadly willow back.
"Foul ballr' cried out the umpire,
AS the striker started down;
But that flying stick came down full
quick,
And smote him on the crown.
"Ha, ha.' the ball-men shouted;
''Oh, ah," the people said;
Then on the ground with grief profound,
HIS comely form they spread
OF came his chest-protector,
Likewise his mask Of wire;
They made him light just SO he might
More easily expire.
The coroner was summoned
To investigate the case,
And he came and gazed, in manner dazed.
Upon the umpire's face.
And this was the verdict rendered,
In hashed and solemn tone:
The deceased is dead of a broken head,
The result of a bat we'll thrown"
-FraaE B Welch, IN Chicago Times.
