Mr.. Iddfnes aud the Pullman C.

Mr.. IddinGS aud the Pullman Car
One Of the magazine writers, who are
our Self-elected autocrats TO a great eN-
tent, Mr. Lewis Iddings. says that there
is too much service on trains Either
the porter or the conductor, he says.

left should keep out Of the way Even the
newshoy could be dispensed with, although
he might be allowed to sell his goods

The gentleman is evidently one of those
who should be provided, for their own com
fort and that Of other passengers, with a
special car. If he could have a special car.
where nobody would speak 10 him from
one end of his journeys end to the other,
except the transfer agent, he would be
happy. He would not then be obliged to
heaI the voice of the train boy and be
hypnotizcd into buying books, fruit and
candy; and he would not have to be
brushed by the porter, and he need not
drink out of the typhoid-breeding ice cooler.
But in an ordinary Pullman he is embar-
raised, even to the extent of irritation, by
the constant attentions Of these people
There is no reason why they should be
there at all, that he can see.
But other people see the reason, or the
traiaboy, and the porter, and the con-
ductor, and the ice-w alter tank, wouldn't
be there. ii is to be supposed. 1t is not
thought that these officials, with the ex-
ception of the ice-water tank, are in the
business for their health, or simply to
annoy the magazine autocrat Somebody
must pay them to be around and make
their presence known. 1t might possibly be
an inconvenience to ladies who are travel
ing to get out of the train and hunt up
the trainboy on the platform when they
wanted a magazine or an orange; and it
might bother them "a little to be obliged
to do this each time they wanted a drink
of water, to say nothing of those regions
where the stations are so far apart that it
would he a long, long time between drinks.
OF course, their husbands could get out
and get these things for them, but any man
who has heard what his wife had to say
when he had been out of the car and come
within q half-nlinute of being left, will
see why the plan would be undesirable. 1t
is also gratifying to some people to have
their coats brushed every half minute, and
if fthey want TO pay for it every h half- minute
what reason is there for the magazine
gentleman to object? And wouldn't he
probably be the very first one to get red
In the face and swear If he happened to
want one OF these officials when the Of
ficial was not there? From a long and
deep exper ence OF human nature, The
Times judges that he would
1t is suggested to Mr.. Lewis Iddings, who
has been making all these suggestions ON
his own account, that he may have been
too generous in tipping the porter and the
trainboy. and too free in imbibing OF the

Frankfort, KY, March 29.-The Sena-

strained, andit was not so clear to all that
DR.. Hunter gained any permanent advant-
age in his showing Saturday. Yesterday
was busy day, however, andthe doctor S

But those shelves ought to be done
Not a bit OF it. If she has worked up
