ANEW STYLE OF CARS.

nN W liz dclilc mas just received |
twenty new colonist sleepers from Bar
ney, Smith 81 Co. that are models ofI
beauty, convenience and comfort. and
contain many improvements over the or
binary colonist sleeper, orso-called tour:
ist car, generally in use:
Each car has fourteen sections with
gentlemen's toilet room in ore end and
the ladies room, supplied with marble
topped washstand and force pump in the
| other. In one end ofthe caris Bakerf fire
proof heater, which heats the car by
means OF hot water conducted through
pipes In the opposite end of the car is
cooking range surrounded by good
kitchen facilities. Opposite this rangeis
twenty gallon cooler tor drinking water,
also large tank holding seventy gal
Ions OF water for general use.
These cars are finished in natural
woods,-ash, maple and butternut,-
beautifully polished, and at night are
lighted up with eight acme lamps exact
ly similar to those in use on the Pullman
sleepers. The sections are divided by
sliding head-boards, effecting privacy
not possible in the present style of cars
where the sections are separated by a
wire netting. An ingenious arrange
ment OF the seats enable them to be ex-
tended fiat or with head rests when pre-
| pared for bedding, and under each seat
is box in which can be stored bedding
or small baggage. In each section there
is also provided a movable table similar
| to those in use in Pullman cars, which is
| extremely convenient for many purpos-
es. All cars are provided with curtain,
| rods.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Northern Pacific employs a porter to
look after these sleepers, all holders of
second class Montana and Pacific coast
tickets are allowed to use them free of
charge. The Northern Pacific has
greater number of these sieepers in SER
vice than any other transcontinental
line, their total equipment now amount
ing to SO cars. 1t IS clear that in pro-
vidlng for the comfort of the travelling
public, the Northern Pacific, with its new
vestibuled dining and sleeping cars and
superior accommodations for second
class passengers, leads all it's COMPETE
