ing off steam or otherwise committing
offenses which might prove disagreeable
to her majesty.
Each of the railroads used by the queen
has its royal saloon or car. That of the
Great Western has three main divisions.
the central one being for the queen and
the other two for her lady and gentlemen
attendants respectively. The queen s
apartments resemble tiny drawing
room, with numerous easy chairs and a
broad couch. These are upholstered in
cream colored morocco, which matches
the sides of the compartment, cushioned
with the same material. The doors are
made of sycamore, with satin wood
mountings, and the handles, as we'll as
the key latches, are of carved ivory.
The border design is silk around the
! furniture consists of the rose, shamrock,
! and thistle. which also figure conspicu-
ouSly on the window SaShes and arm
rests, which again have the crown work
] ed in silk upon them In the center of
4 the carpet and on the cushions are the
royal coat of arms. The roof has a
! border of hand painted work, and oil is
the artificial illuminant when daylight is
shut out by the blinds and curtains made
out of cream silk.
The royal coach of the London North
/ Western system is much the same The
interior is upholstered in dark blue silk
and the arrangement is much like that of
I the Great Western. The queens car is
always placed in the center of the train
to be better protected in case of accident.
Usually the royal train is made up of
sixteen cars, as the amount of baggage
taken by the queen is something stu
! pendous. Very often she also takes her
4 favorite horses and carriages with her,
and these help to swell the number of
cars.
Each car carries a couple of extra
guards and the train is fitted with a tele-
! graphic outfit which can be speedily ad-
justed in event of emergency. Nothing is
cooked for the queen on the train. Stops
are made at certain places and provisions

TIP AND RUN.
. New Game For the early Spring.

A New Game For the Early Spring.
Tip and run is the name of a game
our English cousins are just learning
both boys and girls. 1t resembles cricket,
so some one says, as a caricature re-
sembles it's original.
1t is d game 10 play early in the spring,
before cricket or tennis can be thought
Of and it has this advantage over golf
that 1t can be played on lawns or gar
den plots without damage to the turI.
Tip and run involves much exercise of
a rather severe kind.
This is the manner of it: The fair
guardian of the wicket armed with a
bat or even a racket, takes her STAND,
and as soon as she hit the boWler'S ball,
is bound to run as fast as she can be-
tween the Wickets, as failure TO MT or
to run involves discontinue and an i'm
mediate successor at the bat.
The score mounts I'D rapidly, as some
expert batswomen hit each time and fly
to and fro like a ball herself until she
can be disiodged by three successive tali-
ures TO hit her ball. The other players
field out, with a success generally less
than more. Bowling usually taxes the
skill of fair players more than batting.
They do not, as a rule, boWl with the
mechanical skill which marks the maScu-
line player.
Eleven is the proper NUMBER 1or each
team of tip and run, when men are per-
mitted to reinforce the eleven, they play
ieft-handed or bat with broomsticks. But
even thus handicapped they often seem
to be more than d match Tor their lalI
antagonists. though there he eleven, and
there are those Who can well hold their
own upon the level green, and are AFRAID
of no mans prowess, and understand
all the intricacies of the game.
T,he maiden Dossessed of Atlanta's speed
and grace will doubtless prove the prize
player at tip and run, but every girl VINO
INDUCES in the game will find herself
the better and the roster for the 1resh

THE LIGHTNING OF TILLMAN.

1t is more difficult to say who Will be
the Populist standard bearer than 1t is
TO predict the Republican or Democratic
nominee, and the latter are problems too
hard for most people TO solve. Many say
that the presidential lightning VIII surely
hit Ben Tillman of South Carolina, that
he is tE-e man of the hour ana that ne
will sweep the decks on the hrst Dailot.
Tillman's friends assert that his most
formidable opponent for NOMINATION non non,
ors-General Weaver-is BODY ana soul
for the South Carolina statesman, IN,
nantes claim that their man will poll
the solid and united votes of the Popu-
lists and the free silverites, but the Pop
ulists who favor other candidates are
already preparing to down him by say
ing that he is a Democrat at heart and
is only half a Populist at best.
Senator James H. Kyle, OF South Da-
kota. has a strong following among the
western Populists. He is an Ohio man
by birth and was a clergyman before he
entered the political arena. While 1t IS
generally admitted that Tilman has the
strength of the southern and eastern
Pouuists at his back, the fact that he
is not liked very much in the west Will
act strongly against him.
What is known as the conservative
element in the party regard Illlman as
too much of a skyrocket, and intend to
pin their faith TO man with fewer
revolutionary fads. This element has al
ready settled upon Governor Silas w.
Holcomb, of Nebraska, and are BOOM

WASHINGTON. March 1S.-If the Popu-
lists are TO be believed Populist presi-
dent will live in the White house otter
March of next year, and the country
will be run on lines radically different
from the existing ones.
Sush astute men as Dave Hill of New
York; Mat Quay of Pennsylvania; Tom
Reed of Maine, might be inclined to
laugh at the claims of the Populists, but
a couple of years ago any one would
have been laughed at who asserted that
the Populists would soon hold the ball
ance of power in the United States SEN
ate.
A PopuliSt president may not be elected
next, November. but the Populists are
hustling, and their convention at St.
Louis on July % next, if not as large as
the conventions of the Democratic or Re-
publican parties will be quite as ex-
citing. Several Populists have the presi-

of attendants and officials excite them
selves over a paltry trip of 800 miles or so
by railroad to a degree that can scarcely
be comprehendeG by the American mind.
If a trip of this kind were contemplate
ed by a traveller here he would take the
Train at night and expect TO wake up at
his destination the next morning, and
that IS all there would be to it,. Or, he
would take an early morning train and
expect 10 reach his destination in the
evening in time for a good dinner.
But it is a very different matter when
the queen goes a travelling. The date of
the journey is set at least one month in
advance, and then there is no rest or
peace until the trip has been safely made.
The officials Of the railroad over which
the royal parsonage is to travel, work
themselves into a perfect fever of excite
ment in making the elaborate arrange
mentS.
Little or nothing is published by the
newspapers about the journey, as it is
not considered a wise policy to let the
queens subjects know too much about the
arrangements, in the fear that some
crank armed with the knowledge might
station himself at a convenient point and
endeavor to blow UP her majesty or wreck
the royal train.
When the queen journeys north to Bal
moral, about $40 miles from London, the
train runs al a uniform speed of forty
five miles an hour. II the engineer made
the pace forty-seven miles or forty-three
miles he would probably lose his job.
Forty-five miles is the royal speed, no
faster and no slower.
THE PILOT.
TT IRE IS always pilot engine which
runs III advance of the royal train about
fifteen minutes. Some high officials are
on the pilot to see that the tracks are
clear and in perfect condition and that
the signals are working all right. After
the pilot has passed nothing can cross the
tracks. The road is practically closed I'M
til the royal train passes. IL farmers

Queen Victoria is making her annual
visit to the Riviera and it is one of the
three journeys she has made each year
for the past decade. The other two jour
news are to Balmoral from Windsor castle
and to Osborne on the adjournment of
the court season.
The ordinary traveller would smile at
any of these journeys and would class
them as mere bagatelles, but the queen
is not ordinary in anything, except, per-
haps, in her love for her children and
grandchildren, and in that she is just like
any other old lady. The journeys do not
bother the queen much, but a small army
