An Old pacttio Coast Engine.

Perhaps few of the people know that q
very antique engine is lying useless be-
hind the station at Long Beach, Los
Angeles county. This engine was used
in the early part of the last decade, and
when the fireman wanted to put in any
fuel the train had to be stopped while
the fireman put in wood at the front OF
the engine, as the door of the furnace is
situated there. This engine ran between
Los Angeles and Long Beach before the
Southern Pacific extended its line to
that place. The cars are like street cars
of today, only about twice as long.
Sometimes the passengers had toget out
and push, as the engine was not very
ong.-Pasadena Star.

No single thing has contributed more
70 the comfort Of modern life than the
Pullman car. Its inventor, George M
Pullman, worked out the details Of is
invention while a merchant in Cole
IN 1859. In 1854 he carried his idea TO
Chicago and employed a master car
builder Of the Alton road at a salary q
800 month to superintend the con-
struction Of model car. The inventor
was determined that it should be the
hAndsomest car in all respects that had
ever been made in the country. He
came ON TO New York and here hap
pened to meet the artist who had just
decorated the house Of Samuel J. I'll
den. He at once closed with this artist,
took him west and set him at work dec
Grating the car.
When the Pioneer was finished it had
cost the extraordinary sum of t1e, 200, a
large price even now fof a sleeping car.
II was wonder to everybody. II was
Just as Mr.. Pullman had expected. The
beauty of the finish and the marvellous
innovation he had made were advertised
far and near by the newspapers and by
railroad men, and some Of the latter be-
gan to believe that the ideas Of the in
ventor after all were practicable.-New

A Sol, Of wulie Con,ns Clothes.

The tweed suit that wikie Collins
purchased in Philadelphia as he passed
through the city SO many years ago is
still here. The novelist by accident
ruined one that he brought over with
him by splitting broth over it and stepped
across Chestnut street TO invest in q
new one before returning 10 his hotel.
Collins instructed the tailor to send the
spoiled one TO his rooms, and when he
gave his name the clothier said, care
you the author of No Name and 'Arms-
dsleT" Wilkie had to own up, and the
tailor was overcome with pleasure, an
nouncing that he was the most sincere
admirer of Collins in America. On
fortunately the suit was not good fit,
but the novelist had too much delicacy
70 acquaint his sincere admirer with the
fact. SO the garments were relegated
10 George II. Boxers attic, where they
remained over generation.-Philadel

An old neighbor of the Goulds at Rox-
bury, Delaware county, told story
about the millionaire's visit 10 his old
home in the midst of one Of his busiest
financial seasons.
jay and was always good friends"
said the old man, which is more'n !
can say for him and most Of the other
folks here. You see, old John Gould
married my sister for his second wife,
and there was always more or less Of
family feeling between the Goulds and
us. Says to Jay: Why don't you come
and see us once in awhilef You're al
ways going to get the best we have, yo'
know Jay said suthin bout bein al
ways haydn season with him and
couldn't spare the time. There wasn't
anythin he'd like as much as to visit up
here, for he liked the old folks, he said.
He asked me how I'd like to go down 10
York. l said farming was not so good
as it was and money was mighty scarce.
He said that was all right, an then he
fumbled around his pockets for some
thing, but 1t was not there. He ex-
planned that he thought he had his book
with him, 80 that he could give me a
pass for myself and my wife down to
York, but he must have forgotten it and
left it at home. He said he'd send the
pass TO me; but if he sent IL some other
one must have got it, for never did. l
was a-speakin bout it afterward down
at the hotel, and the boys said it was
most likely Jay Gould never sent it,
One thing anyhow I'm certain of-that
is, eff he had that air book with him that
time we met he'd writ out that air
pass. New York World.
