north there were Indians living in houses
of more durable material than that OF
which the frail lodges of the Conchos
were made, and that those Indians
dressed in cotton cloth. These reports,
imperfect as they were, induced the friar

periors OF his order permission to visit
the northern regions with the view of at
tempting the conversion of their inhabi-

granted, but two other monks were de.
sgnated to accompany him on his danger

guez being only lay-brother, his two
companions were selected from among
the priesthood and therefore superior to
him in rank. Fray Francisco Lopez an
aged priest was appointed commissary at

other monk was young man, Fray Juan
de Santa Maria. He was we'll versed in
astronomy and physics, according to the
state OF knowledge in these branches pre-.
valent at the time.

sThey Failed to Find the Inner Workings of

There is now pending in the Chicago courts
a rather remarkable case. The preliminary
examination of c. n. Mitchell, broker,
of Chicago for ENLIGHTENMENT is the outcome
of the rate war in which the Alton has
been concerned, and therein lies great
deal of its interest.
one, and is thus told by Chicago paper:
G. A. Johnson, an employee of Thiele's de-
tective agency, acting under instructions to
Ttest the market. recently purchased from
Mitchell for SIS an Alton round-trip ticket
Chicago to Denver. johnson was to re-
celve certain rebate at Denver. Mitchell
accompanied him to the Alton offices in
order to make out the necessary papers for
this rebate, but before delivering the same
accused johnson of being a ''spotter'' for
the general passenger association, and
thereupon refused either to deliver the
ticket or return the money. Johnson was
invited to sue for his money.
This plan was suggested in order that the
scalpers could examine certain witnesses
and get at the secrets and inner workings
of the passenger association. But instead
of bringing a civil suit johnson took an
other chute and caused Mitchell's arrest on
the charge of enlightenment. This COM
pletely spoiled the plan of the scalpers.
They had Chairman Finley and others
subpoenaed, but Justice Lyon ruled that
ss1ney could not go into the association mat
Ter He heard evidence on the embezzle-
ment feature and held Mitchell to the
grand jury in bonds of $500.

New York has awakened TO the fact that
she has law regulating sleeping car rates.
and the companies representatives smile
when it is mentioned. The New York
Herald says: Officials of the palace car
companies in this city will in the future, as
statute books fixing the maximum rate OF
SO cents for berth in q sleeping car for
any distance within the state.
An impression has gone abroad that the
railroad men were ignorant of the exist
ence of the law; that it had been in some
mysterious manner railroaded through the
legislature. This is not the case, as it has
been on the statute books for years, and Is
absolutely dead-letter.
Mr.. H. Walter Webb, third ce-president
of the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad and vice7president of the
Wagner Palace car compas,J, said yesterday
that the law was enacted ny ny years ago, in
1855 he thought, and that Il was passed III
the early days when sleeping cars were first
improvised out of box freight cars.
At that time the berths were little more
than shelves, erected III tiers OF three or
wide. There were no tot 1t rooms or con-
veniences in the cars, an& emo bedding was
furnished to the occupants of the berths,
which were nothing more &han makeshifts.
When first introduced, Inc charge for
bert 4 was about S1.50.
AS the use Of parlor and sleeping cars be-
came more general, the relling stock was
improved and the rates were rearrangnd
upon mileage basis. The conveniences of
travel were so greatly enhanced that no
one objected to paying the extra charge,
and the law which was enacted in the days
of crude construction gradually sank out of
sight.
Mr.. Webb said that the law had been
brought TO his attention perhaps a dozen
times before the present occasion. The
officials of the palace car company had at
such times merely smiled at it. The reason
for its being made so prominent at this
time is due, Mr.. Webb said, to the recodify
ing of the state laws. Some one had
noticed the provision among lot of other
rubbish, and had made feature of it IL
conclusion, Nh Webb said that no atten-
ton would be paid to the obsolete enact
ment, and that rates would not be reduced
IN consequence of its eYhumation.
Mr.. Horace Porter, ce-preSldent of the
Pullman palace car company. said that the
law gave him no concern, and that the rates
would not be altered in consequence of it.
He added that he had really paid no atten-
ton to the matter, as he had been informed
that it was dead letter.

On the Texas acitic tracks, in their
ward near the Height depot, is the New
England car company s stock car No. ID, 600.
Probably this would not have elected a
second thought from the ordinary passer-
by, but to railroad and Stockmen il was ar
object of more than usual interest. Il is
the new design of stock car built by the
Burton stock car company at Wichita,
Kan, according to designs that were the
Joint effort of General Manager ].
F. Ware aud General Superintendent L. D.
Voak. Every corner is rounded, there be-
ing no rough edges anywhere inside the
car Instead of boards used for Stats, the
company has chosen gas pipes, which not
only makes a strong and serviceable car
but one which affords more openings
for the free circulation of air than on any
style of car now in use, and this alone is a
strong commentator to the stockman.
The bottom of the car is eight feet four
inches in width and with the double-end
DOORS The car stands seven feet four
inches in height from the top of the sill to
the bottom of the plate; length over draw

hood is nine feet seven inches in width
The receiving tank is located on the top of
the car, and is 1Sx30, very high and above

trucks are all iron, the brake rigging being
attached to the truck instead of to the body
of the car The national hollow brake
beam is used, the NJ c. B. standard head
and shoe being used.
Another feature of the car, aside from
the room that it affords, is the arrangement
of the troughs which are so set that though
filled with water it is impossible for any of
it to spill out or overflow into the car and
