 hshed history of tho sleeping car in which it asserted that the first patent was taken out in 1859 by John H. Nor rison of Detroit. The car was built with reference to storage capacity rather than comfort. A central partition divided the car, narrow seats were ranged along the partition on each side, and three tiers of hunks were let down at night. Thomas McMill of Philadelphia and John Danner of Canton, O., also took out patents that year. according to The Railway Age. Nowhere in this histor- ical sketch appears the name of Thomas T. Woodruff or Webster Wagner, and Pullman's name is dragged in quite in cidentally. Yet tho world is indebted to these three men for the privilege of sleeping in comfort when travelling The debt is ono of gratitude and not of money, for all three got rich out of it.
 The earliest sleeping cars of which l have been able to find any mention were operated in the thirtics over the Cumberland Valley railroad between Cumberland and Harrisburg. They wero so crude and uncomfortable that they were finally taken from tho rails. and tuci tlit SICtpLlF Car ltcst HAdStItshAs slept until Woodruff took it up.
 Woodruff was n native of Water town, N. Y. In fact, all three of the early promoters of sleeping cars were born in the Empire State. It may be that it was the combination of New York nativity and cultivation of the sleeping car notion that caused them all to wear chin whiskcrs of peculiar cut during the period of their greatest prosperity. Certainly some influence or influences worked to that end. While yet young man Woodruff removed to Indiana and therc became master car builder of the Alton and Tcrre Haute railroad
 Perhaps when n boy he had ridden on one of the awful sleeping cars in use at one time in Pennsylvania. At all events, he had q notion that he could make car i'll which passengers could sleep with comfort. and he urged upon his employers to let him build one for them. They professed to believe that he had n good thing but they would not put up. They finally. like enough to get rid of him, gave him letters to some eastern men. Armed with these, Wood Auh mSh0 eo tsoiiicb ~' A'' Hlu thChc HI the office of James TillinGhast got up a model of his car. Tillinghast was then in the employ of the Rome and Watertown road, and he. iko tho man. agers of the Alton and Tcrre Hautc. said he thought the scheme n great one, but neither would he advance any cash. and it was not until Woodruff got the idea before Car Builder Watson of Springfield, Mass, that full sized car was built.
 When tsc car was finished, Woodruff ran it for little time over tho New York Central and tho Rome and West ern railroad lines. charging 90 cents over and above the regular fare for a

devised the six and eight wheeled trucks that are now found under sleeping cars not only. but most high class day coaches, and which contribute so mate rially to smooth riding. He also resolv- ed that night that if he ever built a sleeping car it should bc roOmy and not constructed, as were the early Woodruff and Wagner cars, with an eye almost solely to packing in as many passengers as possible. These old cars had three rows of hunks on each side, and while each furnished seats for only about 50 passengers there were hunks for 70.
 It was not till 1884 that Pullman built his first car He had materially ''increased his basket and store" rais- ing and moving buildings in Chicago and devoted few years to gold mining at Pike's peak and in its vicinity and was in the prime of his manhood when he began at the bottom in the career which was to make him one of the rich est of men at the end of the century and spread his name to the uttcrmOst parts of the earth. This latter is literally true, for the Chinese have just introduced Pullman cars into the Celestial Empire. Pullman was in better shape to begin than was Woodruff when he began. Woodruff was poor and had to borrow his capital; Pullman had his own Woodruff tried to get his car up as cheaply as possible; Pullman studied how to spend money in its construction

with as little as they could get along with; Pullman strovc to give them so much that they could not ask for more at least so much that they could not find moro in any other cars. It took Pullman whole year to build his first car, and when it was done it had cost SIS. 900, but never was like sum more wisely expended From the second trip its first service was i'll LincOln's fu- neral trip from Chicago to Springfield, Ills.-the car paid handsome profit Pullman himself used to make trips on this car and talk with the passengers for the purpose of getting points as to its possible improvement.
 Some of the early newspaper outgiv- ings upon the first sleepcrs are interest ing reading in the light uf present de vclOpmCnt of the original idea Said a clergyman from Kansas in a letter to the Germantown Telegraph of Sept. :, 1856:
 Improvement marks every year among our cntCrpriSing eastern people, visible to the eye of tho annual western visitor. If the Atlantic CIblc is n fail urc, the sleeping cars ;Irr not, as many n weary visitor can attest. Who would hay" thought year since of going to bC'l at Jnhrstown and waking up in the nciShburhuod uf Hnllidaysburg: Fifty cents will now Sl,rp n passenger in horizontal pasture upon a comfortable bed without even being aroused by tho punch "f :. conductor and the annoying Show your ticket, sirr" "
 The comfort that the reverend gentle man wrote of would hardly bc cunsid- crrl such ly th" modern traveller. The shrlfs which composed the hunks and the fittings were nf the plaincst possible character. The cars were lighted by kerosene lamps suspended from ceilings two feet lower than the ceilings of the present cars The heating in winter was furnished by n stove set near tho center of tho floor. and those who slept next to it were apt to be roasted, while occu- pants of the end hunks were in danger of freezing on cold nights.
 It would seem that the sleeping and palace cars of the present day have reached or nearly reached perfection. Certainly in lavishncss of decoration. in extravagance of luxury, they cannot be improved Some of the latest built cars are almost harbaric in their splen- dor and oppressive in their upholstery and heavy drapery.

THE TARIFF OUTLOOK.

President Cleveland has not changed his mind about the desirability of admitting free of duty such raw materials as coal and iron ore; nor have the democratic majority of the house which voted to put them on the free list ln the original Wilson bill; nor have the democratic voters of the country who were under the impression when they put a democratic congress and administration in power that free raw ma teriaIs were assured. Notwithstanding this overwhelming democratic sentiment Tn favor of free raw materials, coal and iron are not to go on the free list. It is a both unnecessary and unproftable to enter into any explanation this time AS to the why's and wherefores of this. It is sumcient to say that the fact has been made plain that no bill putting iron and coal on the free list can pass the senate. Therefore the democrats of the house are brought fac- to face with the choice of leaving the Mckinley law stand or of allowing the senate to have its way about coal and iron, and getting new tariff law on the statute books, which contains many most excel lent features and which is, even in iron and coal schedules. a big reduction from the duties imposed by the Mckinley law.
 This is the situation that confronted the democratic house conferees when they met the senate conferees for their first formal meeting in their second effort to reach an agreement an the tariff bill. In addition they were met with the vote of the senate refusing to instruct its conferees to recede from the differential duty of one-eighth of cent pound on refined sugar. this indi- eating. one might say officially. that any accepted by the senate
 Notwithstanding all this Chairman Will son and the house conferees ale not dis posed to give up the fight; therefore a call is being circulated for caucus of the democrats of the house, to be held If no agreement is reached on the bill by Tues day. It is believed that the conferees will endeavor to reach an agreement upon everything except the iron, sugar and coal schedules of the bill before the caucus is | ask the caucus what shall be done about those schedules. It is. of course, impos- sible to say what action the caucus will take, but ir view of the fact that the dem ocrats of the house are practically unani- nous in the opinion that tariff bill must be passed at this session of congress. and that bill cannot be passed unless those schedules are accepted in accordance with the demands of the senate, it is believed that the caucus will instruct the conferees to agree. knowing that the responsibility has been placed, by President Cleveland 2 tletter, where it belongs.

Flaw Eggs as a Tonic.

4 raw egg is an excellent tonic with which to begin these warm days. It is strengthening and tends to prevent that tired feeling so prevalent at this season of the year. If prepared in the follow ing way, it is really delicious drink: Put the yolk of an egg into dish with a teaspOonful of white sugar and a tea spoonful of orange or lemon juice and beat lightly together with a fork Put the white on plate and add a pinch of salt Then with a broad bladed knife beat it to stiff froth. Now, as lightly as possible. mix all together in the dish
 Then as lightly transfer 1t to clean tumbler, which it will nearly fill if properly made It must not stand in a warm place, as it soon becomes liquid and loses its snowy look Any fruit juices may be used in place of orange or lemon, or even brandy if the doctor has ordered it-New York Advertiser.

Famous old Appomatto. Deserted.

The old town of AppomattOx is en- tirely deserted, with the exception of five or six families, of whom only one, that of Methodist clergyman, is white. A syndicate bought up all the property a few years ago as speculation, and when the owners got their money and signed the deeds they moved away, leav- ing their houses empty. The courthouse was burned about the same time, and a new one was erected at the railway sta tiOn, about three miles distant, where a considerable town has sprung up The Mclean House, in which the articles of surrender were written and signed, was purchased by the syndicate and was taken down. brick by brick, for removal to the Worlds fair, but for some reason the plan was not carried out, and the bricks and timbers are still stored in the vacant houses in the neighborhood.

 nights sleep Then Woodruff ran his car to Cleveland, Cincinnati and other cities of the then far west, and every where it was considered most wonder ful thing. This particular car was final ly sold to the Ohio and Mississippi rail road and was worn out on the rails of that line. Tho extension of the Wood ruff sleeping car service was rapid after that, and by 1S60-the first car was built in 1856 or lS57-passengcrs who were willing to pay the standard price of O half dollar extra for q bed might sleep and travel
 In tho meantime Webster Wagner, Q freight agent of the New York Central railroad, became much interested in the Woodruff cars, helped their inventor and finally bought the right to build and use them on tho Central lines. It is from Wngner's establishment, small at first, that the only company now n serious rival of the Pullman corporation has grown Both Woodruff and Wagner got rich as riches were once counted, and both were killed in railroad accidents. But Mir. Wagner died worth much mon- ey, while Mir. Woodruff died poor.
 It was in 1857 that Pullman s atten- ton was first seriously directed to the sleeping car problem. He had been mov- ing buildings in Albion, N. Y., had made few thousand dollars out of the operation and was going to Chicago to move moro buildings and make moro money. Before he went west he had to go to some place a nights journey dis tant from Albion. and he rode in one of Woodruff's or Wagner's cars. It was a wretched affair compared with the won- derful wheeled palaces that today glide easily and noiselessly over modern rail roads, and the young building mover could not sleep.
 As he lay and was buffeted the long night through visions came before him of what could be done to make tho car ride easier and in the way of furnishing moro commodious quarters to passen- gers It was during that ride that he
