WAR UPoN THE PULLMAN RATES.
A combined petition of all the rail-
roads using Pullman sleepers is about
to be presented to the autocrat who
owns them protesting against the
charge of So for an upper berth. The
reduction asked for is only 25 cents,
which is about one-fourth what it
should he. If the rate of 81 remains
for the lower berth, "uppers" should
not command more than one-hali
that amount, as everybody can testify
who has had to climb into and out oil
one OF those cramped shelves near the
ceiling. A better rate would have
been 81 for the lower berth and 90
cents for the upper, and by this means
bring their use within the reach oil
people of ordinary means.

Lyon & Healy never had so many

that the stock on board when the ves-
sci was scuttled to save other shipping

old whisky, the find is an excellent one,
and it makes the "age" well on to 20
years, and the verdict of the experts
who passed judgment upon the article
was that it possessed all that oily
smoothness that can only be impaired
by the touch OF old Time.
