no accident or unpleasant incident. The
train has made its long run on time. ana
the management has been perfect. There
are five cars. A combination OF library,
baggage and smoking convenlences Is
the first; dining car with the best COOKS,
stewart and walters in the Pullman ser
vice is the second; next the elegant Puii-
man car "New leland" in the middle OF
which have section, and at the rear
end of which Mr. Wanamaker and Dir.
Rusk have apartments: next the apart
ment car, where the president and his
family have their bed rooms, dressing
rooms. etc., and in the rear the observa-
tory car, which is a parlor with cushion
ed cane chairs, center table, writing
desks, etc., an office room attached
where the presidents stenographer and
typewriter works, and at the scar a COW
cred platform, where the party sit much
of the time viewing the scenery, and
from which the president speaks at the
smaller stations where crowds have gath
cred. In this parlor all on the tram are
welcome. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Mckee,
Mrs. Russell Harrison and Mrs. Dlmmlck
are allvery pleasant and frank. Mrs.
Russell Harrison is Nebraska lady,
daughter of Ex-Governor Saunders.
Life on the train is not the tiresome ex-
perience that would be supposed. In
fact, although we have been royalty
treated at the great hotels where we have
stopped, find that everybody is glad to
be on the train again and that it seems
to all like getting home. When we en-
tered the brilliantly lighted cars last
night and gathered at breakfast in the
elegant dining Car Coronado" this morn
send you herewith one of the menu
cards from the dining car, which will
give you something of an idea Of this
feature of life on the presidential train.

of hotels, and the cooking and service
cannot be surpassed anywhere.

Italy is just now feeling, in costly
way, the effects of its rashness in at
tempting to force an issue with the
United States on account Of the New
Orleans incident The crop of tourists
from which Italy reaps its richest har-
vest annually is well nigh complete
failure so far this season, and there is
nothing that can supply the loss, which
will amount, in dollars, up into the mill
ions. The effect of the great increase to
the already heavy burden upon that
country in the way of national debt and
expenses of the government, would be to
greatly accelerate the emigration from
that country to this if our ports were as
wide open now as they have been here
tofore, but they are not, and so the poor
lazaroni will have to go elsewhere.

Losing Heat from Fire.

One of the stories Kit Carson used to
tell and one he told SO often that he must
have thought it possessed some merit, was
of an Indian who visited a camp of white
men. and ridiculed their idea OF keeping
warm in the open air. The untutored son
of nature claimed that his white brother
built fire so hot that he could not get
near it without being burned, while the
Indian built small fire, crept close. and
got all the heat.
OF course, though. he did not get all the
heat And the problem before the mind
OF the man who started ont in the devel-
opment of what is now the parlor stove
was 20 get all possible out of the fuel with
out allowing any of the heat generated To
escape. Up 10 date he has not quite sue
ceeded in solving the problem.
Even in the best of stoves fully % per
cent. of the heat escapes through the chin
ney. and il is doubtful II time will ever
come when any heating agent that creates
caloric through the medium OF flame or
combustion will do for heating what the
Edison candle does for lighting Chicago

There was no siege of Paris, as there was
siege of Berlin, by consumptives after the
publication of the new cure, but goodly
number of patients placed themselves IN
DR. Bernheim's hands, and nothing further
was heard till suddenly the press of Paris
spread the news that four patients had
died of the goat blood cure' five days
after the first injection by DIR. Bernheim.
Paris, which was feeling rather dull, got
excited at once, and clamored for exp!ana-
tions, which Dr. Bernheim Immediately
supplied by stating, in long letter TO The
Figaro, that there is not an atom of truth
in the whole story of the five deaths, and
ends by challenge to his traducers, though
in somewhat potter terms, that he is quite
ready to fight them, if they will only

THE PRESIDENTS TRAIN.
A Private Letter Written Enroute by
the Press Reporter.

O. P. Austin. the official representative
of the Associated Press, chosen to ac-
company President Harrison and his
party in the swing about the continent
is a brother of Mrs. A. A. Post, of this
CITY. Mr.. Austin writes her a letter,
after the train had left San Francisco,
inclosing specimens of the daily bill of
fare, the embossed time table on which
the train is scheduled and a map and
descriptive pages of the itinery. Mr..
Post furnishes us with the following
interesting extract from the letter, which
will give our readers better idea of the
party and its train-life than the mere
daily official reports:
Dear Sister: From Galveston on, the
trip was particularly interesting to me.
The great stretch of desert, with its
cactus and sage brush aud prairie dogs
and jack rabbits; the cowboys and Mex
leans and Indians; the glimpseS of the
snow-capped mountains in the distance,
with tropical productions at hand; the
quaint old buildings and picturesque
dress of their inhabitants, interested all
of Us intensely. At II Paso ] went
across into Mexico and visited The old
church, three hundred years old, and
went to a store and bought some curios-
tiles to take home as reminder Of my
contact with Mexican soil. While doing
so Mrs. Harrison and some other ladies
Of the party came in and made some
purchases. From the time We reached
California on TO the present moment the
experiences have been full of interest.
The huge groves of oranges, lemons,
dates. prunes, apricotS, olives. English
walnutS and almonds, the enormous
vineyards, the great stock farms, with
thousands of fine horses and cattle. the
p2iatiai residences and hotels, the hun
dreds of lubberly yet graceful
seals clambering over the rocks
along the coast or swimming
through the blue waters of the Pacific:
the curious sights and sounds and
smells of Chinatown IL San Francisco:
the launching of the grert warship.

New York City is accorded the credit of

New York City is accorded the credit OF
having the largest number of millionaire
residents of any city in the world, yet
the state of Georgia has one citizen, just
a plain, every day farmer, who has
recently come into possession of wealth
almost. if not quite equal to the aggre-
gate wealth of New York's one thousand
millionaires. The Atlanta Constitution
states that the Georgia Millionaire has
already come into possession of 500, ooo,-
600 in cool cash and is the heir to some
eight or ten other estates each worth as
much as the one he has received. This
great wealth comes from England and
descends upon the heir as the only repre-
sentative of a long line of wealthy
ancestors.

Quit Your FooIishin',

The Topeka Democrat says that good
way to raise the 100000 required for
the Kansas worlds fair exhibit would be
to demand a state license Of $500 from
the open saloons now running in all the
first class cities of Kansas. The trouble
about that would be that Wichita, and
Leavenworth and Atchison would have
to raise all the money.-kansas City

of Kansas ought to be taxed as well as
the school children. -Topeka Democrat.

Harrison Yielded to Hogs.

From the Austin Statesman.
While Govern Hogg was with Presi-
dent Harrison in his car at Palestine the
president received a telegram from the
acting secretary OF war requesting the
president to grant permission to the
soldiers of the republic of Mexico to
enter the territory of Texas i'll uniform
and bearing their side arms, that they
might represent their government III the
reception rendered him at FL PaSo.
The president showed the message to
the governor, and he, ever vigllant In
the interests of his state, denied the right
of any one to admit soldiers within the
borders of Texas other than the governor
of the state himself. a good natured
discussion followed. The Republican
president yielded to the states rights
arguments of the Democratic governor
and Governor Hogg telegraphed the de-
sired permission.
