IN AN UPPER BERTH.
Conspicuous Advantages of Being Near the
 Roof of Pullman.

Conspicuous Advantages of Being Near the
 Roof of Pullman.
 Why do prefer an upper berth to a lower in a sleeping-car?" repeated the drummer, as he counted out and swal- lowed six pellets without explaining whether they were for his liver or lungs.
 Yes, why?" queried the man who was felicitating himself on having se- cured lower No. '.
 Well, there ara various reasons When l first began to travel, fifteen years ago, the wheel of a car on train passing us flew off and killed man in lower No. 6, The chap over him never got a scratch. Later on, fellow threw rock at the car and it entered the window of lower No. 4 and broke the sleeper's thigh. Man over him never even woke up Again, a car I was on ran over lot of dynamite. Man in lower No was blown up with him didn't even know that anything had happened. Once more, man in a lower berth can be easily robbed, while one in an upper is seldom troubled. Last, but not least"--
 "What?" was asked, as he paused
 VI always undress, same as at a hotel There's no telling when an accident may come. In case the car goes off, the upper berth is apt to close up, and you are thus secure from the gaze of the vulgar public until the porter can put up tent alongside the track and get your clothes there and help you to dress Modesty is my chief reason, but as all you fellows broke your necks to get lower berths, of course I can't ex- pect you to understand or appreciate nG"-Detroit Free Press

Rain UmbreIIas in Colors.

In women's umbrellas black is fast disappearing, giving place to colors, and changeable ones at that! When first they began to come in they were predicted fad, but that is proved an error; and red, blue, green and brown are staple colors for umbrellas, and no one need fear getting one on the score that next season it will be passe. If two tones are in an umbrella-which is one of the smart styles-one is usu- ally black, and that is the only appear ance of the latter save for mourning The latest color is green-a dark shade, let it be understood; none of them are brilliant to any degree, and a shade of brown dubbed tobacco" is quite one of the most chic. Suitability and the general fitness of things have led to umbrellas with handles that have some reference to the shade of silk. A green no longer is topped with a slSy-blue knob or some other glaring incon. gruity. Where it is impossible to match the colors they at least blend. -Boston Advertiser.

 WASHINGTON, April 19.-Senator Ca rey's bill for the reservation, sale and settlement of arid lands has been So amended as to include such lands in Kansas and Oklahoma. The bill is the one which allows 100000 acres sur veyed public arid lands in each of the states in which the desert land law of the United States is applicable, upon which shall be expended the sum of s3 per acre in irrigation and such other works intended for the reclamation of such lands.
 Any state accepting the conditions of this act is authorized to regulate the manner of reclamations, and as rapidly as the state furnishes proof of reclam- ations, patents shall be issued to it or its assigns for the lands so reclaimed; provided, that the state shall not dis pose of more than 16O acres to any one person, and the profits derived from the sale of said lands shall be held as a fund to aid in the reclamation, and the surplus, if any, devoted to retaining other lands in the same state.
 All lands, excusive of timber and mineral lands, which will not without irrigation produce some agricultural crop. shall be deemed arid lands The | affidavit of two or more credible wit nesses to this fact is sufficient, and where there is no adverse claimant the simple decision of the register and re- ceiver of the land office as to which lands are arid will be deemed sufficient. This act shall not be deemed as in any way leasing the lands to any of the states, or for use except for reclama- tion. The act shall apply to Montana and Kansas and to any states formed out of Utah, New Mexico Oklahoma and Arizona, when admitted as states. The regulations for carrying out the provisions of the act shall be pre- scribed by the secretary of the inte- rior.
 TO VALIDATE CLAIMS.
 WASHINGTON, April 19-Senator Ca- rey has introduced joint resolution in the interest of certain settlers in  Oklahoma and to validate their home- stead claims The act of March g. 1889, opening the Oklahoma strip has been construed by the secretary of the in- terior to disbar as illegal claimants all persons who in preparing to make a run for homestead locations crossed any portion of the reserved territory and took up position on the boundary.

 Senator Carey's resolution declares it was not the intent of congress to dis qualify those who travelled through the territory on the public highways in preparing to make the race. The object of the said proviso is declared to be only to clear the territory of set. tiers until it should be opened, and to require them all to start from the out side of the territory at the same time in their search for land.

Three Weli-Attended Con-
certS.

The testimonial concert given by the
Robert Lloyd, drew an enthusiastic audi
ence that almost filed Metropolitan Tenn
pie yesterday evening
The work of the society itself naturally
formed the principal feature of the pro-
gramme. though il was assisted by able
soloists. The "Infammatus," from RoS-
sini's "Stabat Master" and Miss Mile
Flyun's pretty execution of the solo
aroused enth usiastic applause. 1.-The
Three Fishers" by Macfarren. GounOd's
'.Babylon's Wave" and "Slumber Song
by Lohr were all artistically sung by the
Choral Union.
Miss Hachmeister. c. b. Hoeg and
Arthur Davis sang "The Heavens Are
Telling" Miss Hachmester also gave an
"Ora pro Nobis" by PiccOlomiui, In which
her full, round meZzo- soprano voice gave
great satisfaction. Robert Lloyd sang
twice.
"The Holy City," with organ aceompa-
niment, was very artistically performed,
apart from a slight tendency in the
''forte" passages to ''split the ears OF the
grOundlngs."
Miss Ethel Garfield, the contraltO had
the trick Of an unnaturally low prOduc-
ton that can be learned as easily as any
other ventrilOQuial effort, butts not one to
be encouraged in the concert-room.
Signund Beel and Mrs. Carmichael Carr
performed two numbers with their usual
virtuosity. The four young aides who CON-
pused the ROlian quartet were much ap-
plauded. Miss Mile Flynn's light sweet
voice made very pleasant music IN 1.-The
Hearts Springtime."

FED ON WHISKY,
An Infant Who Was
Dying From Neglect.
The Little Creature, Who Is Only
Seven Weeks Old, Resem-
bleS a Mummy.

a baby was sent to the Children's Hos
pItai yesterday by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children whom it is
hard TO recognize as a human being at all.
To judge from its appearance the little
creature might be a tiny monkey or a
shriveled mummy.
1t is stafvation-downright, absolute
starvation-that has brought the seven
weeks baby to its present revolving condi-
ton. When seen by CALL reporter yes
terday evening the little creature was be-
ing tenderly cared for by kind-hearted
ladies; it was clean and had had food, but
it was shocking spectacle notwithstand-
ing. The bones were literally standing
through the child's parchment-like skin
and his face was as wiZened as mon
key's-or a senile old mans.
ut is the lost cruel case of neglect I
ever heard Of" exclaimed one sympa-
thizer, Indignantly. "The child is healthy
and strong naturally; he has simply been
starved into tits condition"
The grandmother. an old woman of over
60. named Mrs. Meyers, was supposed to
have the infant in charge. When found
in her miseiab BILE lodging, in a house on
Shotwell street. by reporter. the woman
was sitting in a disconsolate condition,
shedding copious tears into a basket of
baby clothing. "Oh! it's cruel; they have
taken my baby from me-" she sobbed,
with an appearance of genuine grief that
would have deceived any one who had not
seen the wretched, starved baby.
SIS he really your grandson P" was
asked. for it seemed incredible that rela-
tive could have withheld food from a
helDless babe.
Indeed, yes," she replied, wiping away
fresh tears, my daughters child. he
was born seven weeks ago-the poor girl
went away to get work in the country
when he was only five weeks DID," 1t
was needless to ask after the father. the
baby was one of those uRfortunates who
have no claim. even to a name. 1t ap-
pears. however, that the mother, vino is
only 20 years old, had no inkling of the
manner in which her child was being
treated; her letters teamed with love and
tenderness for her darling BABY but the
grandmother appears to have wished to
hide her daughters disgrace. and ever
since the three-week-old baby was Gu
trusted to her care the infant has become
more and more emaciated.
DR.. Trau Simon, who saw the hapless
child four weeks ago. declared that it
needed nourlshment only, and sent food.
Another doctor also sent food, which was
returned. though Mrs. Meyers professed
to be starving.
She could find money for whisky, how
ever, and this was about the only nourish-
ment she administered to the baby, till
people in the neighborhood, unable TO bear
the CHASTITY sight, sent notice to Officer
Rolbrook. who promptly removed the bum
die of skin and bones out of the reach OF
the grandmother's cruelty.

A WAGNER NIGHT.
The Vienna Prater Orchestra Adds
to Its LaureIs.

1t seems almost superhuous to say that
from an artistic point Of view the Wagner
night in Kaiser Franz Joseph Hall yester-
day added another 10 the list OF triumphs
already achieved by the Vienna Prater
Orchestra.
There may be two opinions as to the
pleasure of listening to the Bayreuth mas
ter's operas, but in concert Wagner's music
seldom fails &c give delight to all sorts and
conditions of audiences.
The applause heaped upon his work
last night showed that the Vienna Prater
orchestra are populariZing the master, and
ere long We may see Wagner societies
spring into existence here.
The overture to THE Flying Dutch
man" opened the programme. and it was
played as the Vienna orchestra can and
does perform overtures-Lhat is. with mar
velous brilliancy. Herr John MarQuardt
played his violin solo in the Dreams From
Five POEMS in delightful ''cantablle''
style, and the orchestra ably seconded his
sympathetic interpretation

first act of 1.-THE Walkure" gave a splen.
