Beautiful ParIor Car,

The question has often been asked why
railroad companies. building, as they do.
their own ordinary passenger, baggage and
freight cars, should not also build their own
parlor and sleeping cars, instead of hauling
those of the Pullman Company; and the an
swer has been that the Pullman and Wagne r
companies owned so many patents, and it
required SO extensive plant to perform this
kind Of car work In equal style with them
that American railroads did not care to I'M
dertake it. The great Canadian Pacific sys-
tenn. however, have not wished to be de-
pendent upon these outside companies, and
for some years have built and operated their
own parlor and sleeping cars, and although
they were always very well built and COM
Portable cars, they have kept on experiment.
ing and improving until they have now turned
out some Of the most beautiful cars that were
ever run in this country. and one Of these
has now been placed upon the run between
Old Orchard Beach, Portland, the White
Mountains and Montreal, leaving Portland
every morning, Sundays excepted, at S.45,
arriving In Montreal at 40 p. N. This par
ticular car, however, leaves Portland Tues
day. Thursday and Saturday mornings. The
Canadian Pacific have conferred consider
able compliment upon this portion of their
road and Boston & Maine connections by
placing the first one completed upon this run
but they have gone further than this and
named the car "Penobscot." The outside
coloris a rich reddish brown, and with its
name in rich gilt letters, and the finest French
plate windows, presents an appearance
which In itself is relief from the gloomy
colors Of most railway coaches. The main
interior compartment, occupying about two.
thirds Of the car, Is finished with mahogany
dadc, with sides and ceiling In oak, and in
the middle Of this compartment is a smaller
one separated from the rest by beautifully
carved oak posts supporting exquisite green
draperies. The chairs are much wider and
more comfortable than usual, upholstered
entirely In beautiful electric blue plush. At
curtains, and above these at the top of the
car stained glass ventilating windows of
warm yellow and pink tones. The ceiling of
the car Is decorated with hand-painted &C.
signs upon some sort of large grained canvas
texture, while the floor is covered with a
thick carpet of the best quality. Then there
Is private compartment, at one end of the
car. in whici. there is room for eight passen-
gers, the wood work being of mahogany,
polished and richly carved. and elegant d.
vans In terra Gotta plush upon either side.
At the opposite end of the car is the smoking
compartment, the sofas being made of brown
ribbed leather. Fully equipped lavatories
at either end, the regulation system Of elec-
trio bells to summon the porter, ETC., COM
plete the fittings. 1t is altogether the most
beautiful car ever run into and out of Port
land, and people wishing to do so may be
able to inspect II at the Union Station.

That Accident at Peaks.

The accident which happened on the yacht
Eta, Capt. Fred A. Geyer, of Boston, was
unsupported in the Sunday papers, according
to Captain Geyer's statement. In going
ashore from the yacht, where there was a
company, Miss Lillian Miller fell from the
yacht into the water. Captain Geyer, hear
ing the splash. jumped into small row boat
that was lying alongside and, reaching into
the water, succeeded in grasping Miss Mil
ler's hand. He pulled her to the surface.
She was then insensible, and Capt Geyer,
with the assistance Of Mr.. Shepherd Young,
got her into the boat. Then, with the
assistance of Officer Sterling, the girl was
gotten on t, the wharf, where she revived.
The officers Of the Forest City kindly took
her aboard the boat, where she was enabled
to get dry in the fire room.

weeks ago. 1t was voted that the committee
on science, literature and art be directed to
ascertain the cost and terms for obtaining d
complete relief map Of Maine. such map not
to exceed 80 by 40 feet, and report to this
committee at an early date.
Messrs. Shaw and Walker of the New
Hampshire Board Of Worlds Fair Commits

been done by their board relative to joining
with Maine In erecting state building at
Chicago, and replied that as yet their board

A Very pisagreeabIe Place.

To the Editor of the Press.
would wish to have all persons who are
interested in the health of the citizens OF
Portland and vicinity, visit the old mill
pond back of behring's Oaks some of these
hot evenings. Tonight, any time from 3 to
s, the tide is out and its odors are at its
worst 1 only wish that those who have the
power to abate the nuisance were obliged to
sleep amidst its fumes for one night only.
Some people say, "Isn't 1t that old tan
nery?' when, as a matter of fact, the tan
merry has but little or nothing at all to do
with 1t. All the sewage from the west end
Of the city. including the Maine General and
Greedy hospitals and Aims House, empty into
that basin, or sink, and deposits all over the
flats, and when exposed to the rays of the
July or August sun the result can be easily
imagined. The place is a disgrace to Port
land and should be covered up, no matter
what the cost may be.

Z. C.. Aliens Rusiness.,

There is widespread interest as to the fu.
ture management Of the late Hon. E. G. AL
lens property and business, there being q
general desire that the publishing house
should be kept in full operation.
An examination Of MIR. Aliens papers IN
Augusta did not reveal any will. Mr. 81. A
Hallett of the Portland branch and Mr.
Whitney, manager at the Augusta branch
are conducting the search. 1t was expected
by many that an administrator would bt
appointed In the probate court on Monday,
but 1t was decided to postpone the matter
until Thursday when special service of the
court will be held, the object being to allow
a search In Boston to discover will or 9TH
er papers which might have been deposited
there. In case no documents are found, an
administrator will be appointed, who will
probably be Mr.. Oscar Holway Of Augusta
Il is generally believed that Mr.. Hallett of
Portland, who was one Of Mr.. Aliens most
trusted employees. will take charge Of the
entire business.
