disowned by his master must pay the PEN

catcher is not very noble one, but as it is

New Hotel Cars.

The Jackson & Sharp Company shipped
from lis works in Wilmington on Thursday
8N6 Allen Hotel cars. These cars are en-
tirely new in design and are probable the
handsomest passenger cars that have ever
been built in this or any other country:
These cars are part of contract for
four cars of this style building by this COM
pany, and are not only new in design, but
are among the biggest cars that have ever
been built. These cars are complete hotels.
In each one there are sixteen passenger
compartments more elegantly fitted up and
more comfortable than those of any hotels
except the best apartments of the best
hotels. Each car is supplied with kitchen
and pantry and all the culinary implements
efva first-class hotel Kitchen. This CON-
rpartment is situated in the centre Of the
taf, is twenty-five feet long and drops about
two feet below the bottom of the car floor.
In this big space 200 square feet, entirely
under the car floor, are storage chests, re-.
frigerators and cooking ranges, and at each
end Of this suspended compartment are two
big gas tanks for storing gas for lighting
and cooking. The kitchen and pantry
rise through the car floor and occupy the
central apartments Of the car. The in
teroir ofthe cars are marvels of.compactness
in construction and beauty Of finish. AL
the interior wood work il Of red, mahogany
and is highly finished in panels, with here
and there n show of delicate carving
Every compartment and corridor is respIen-
dent in the color of bright metal and spark
ling plate glass. Each compartment is
complete in itself, and it is marvellous how
so much has been arranged in SO small a
space. Completed the cost of each of these
cars approximates $4,000. The four cars
will form a solid yestibule train, to be used
in Church's tours TO the Worlds Fair.

Young lady ushers is the latest expert

, tract young men to church. He says that
il many churches the sermon is too long
and too full Of doctrine to interest the
average youAg man. There is snot at present
ei,ough sociability in the church. There
should be less dry sermonizing and more
work among the people. He wants to see

If his plan works we'll doubtless other
