The Famous Sunset Linited Trains of the
 southern Pacific c mpany.
 From the emlgra.nt wagon of the early pioneer across the continent to the first railway car was a gigantic stride, but perhaps no greater than the evolution of the railway ear itself,
 The rivalry between the uansconti- mental lines has tended to improve the equipment and furnishings of trains, until 1t seems as though perfection had been reached; and now comes the Southern Pacific cdmpany with its sun set Limited train, which is per1ect poem in itself. The Sunset route Of this company via New Orleans has been growing in popularity as fall and winter route, and in the winter season of 1894 and 1895 the idea was first car ried into practical operation of running a solid vestibule train from New Or leans to San Francisco with dining car attached The popularity of this sen vice is evinced when it is known that about sixty-five per cent. of the ChAi- fornia travel last season was carried by this route. In such enterprises lm- provements suggest other improve ments, and these in turn suggest others, and the superb outfit of the sunset Llm- tied for the coming season will excel anything that has been offered the trav- cling public in this country,
 The cars composing this train were manufactured by the Pullman company especially for this service, and are mod els of beauty and strength. In addition to the regular sleeping cars ot the lat est pattern there will also be run com bined boudoir and drawing room cars, These highest achievements of the car Builders art are of extra length, sev- enty-seven feet over all, and will be fitted with seven separate sleeping apartments, each provided with its own entrance. These compartments are complete in themselves and are fitted with two sleeping berths and wash-stand with necessary lavatory fittings. Ihe rooms open on to an alleyway on one side of the car. At one end of the car there is a beautifully furnished parlor, or drawing room, and maid will be in attendance to look after the wants of the ladies' The gentlemen have heretofore had the maximum ot com fort. and opportunities for freedom or movement not enjoyed by the ladies, who have been compelled to pass their time in the sleeping cars but with the inauguratio of the ladies parfor, or drawing room, all is changed. Bowling along on this ideal train, fifty eight hours to Los Angeles, seyenty-tlve hours to San Francisco, travelling is re- duced to the minimum of inconven- ience and irksomeness, and when thought of in connection with the prim- tive s'ox cart" causes man to dwindle into insignificance beside his own han diwork
 In the dining cars of the Sunset Linn tted meals are served on the European plan, and the bill of fare is an appetiz- ing one. Although the train is spe- ciaI limited train, all first-class one way or round trip tickets are accepted fol massage with, of course, the necessary Pullman car ticket.
 These trains will be run semi-weekly Mondays and Thursdays, commencing October 31, and do not conflict with the regular trains which furnish daily Pull. man and buffet car service to Califor. mia.
 It is impossible to cover all the ground in an article of this length, and people travelling to the Pacific coast this sea son would do well to correspond witf F. E. Currier New England agent ol inc Southern Pacific company, State street, Boston, Mass.
