Comfort for women.

eome time ago Pullman's Palace Car
company built three parlor cars foi
the B, q O.'s New York trains. and the
radical departure from other cars Of
this character lay In the toilet room
for ladies'. which was eight feet In
length. Recently the same company
has built eight new sleepers for the
New York-St. Louis line of the B. Z o..
and the designer of the cars has evil
IDENTIFY been impelled by the popular
ity Of the ladies' retiring room IN the
parlor cars to give to the ladies vast
deal more space than they ever had be-
fore in sleeping cars. These new cars
are said by the Pullman people to be
the finest they ever turned out. and
the ladies' retiring room Is exceeding
" commodious. and contains, besides
other toilet necessities, dresser with
. long pier glass. The cars are nm
ished IN vermillion wood. decorated
with inlaid marquetry work, and the
upholstery on the backs and seats Is
entirely new and different from any
heretofore used, being sort of mo-
quette with dark green border and a
center pattern Of bright color. A SIM
liar design Of ornamentation has been
applied to the ceiling, giving the car
an arabesque effect. They are also
supplied with all the modern appli-
ances, such as wide vestibules, anti
telescoping device. air pressure water
system and are lighted with Pintsch
Gas. A very pleasing effect Is obtained
by the oval windows Of opalescent
glass, the first that has been used in
the construction of the sleeping cars.

LONGEST JUMP ON RECORD.

Made BY the Irish Athlete, Prof. New

Followers of athletic sports have
been startled by the wonderful broad
jumping performances In Ireland and
England Of w. ]. M. Newburn. This
athlete now holds the best on record Of
the world. twenty-four feet six and
three-quarters inches. which he made
at Mullinger, ireland, recently. This
Is so far in advance of anything which
the most celebrated running broad
Jumpers Of the world have ever done

Had 1t not been for the fact that this
great athlete cleared over twenty-four
feet In public six times last summer
on different grounds and under differ
ent conditions 1t is doubtful II on this
side of the Atlantic athletes would ad-

formance. There are only about eight
jumpers who have ever cleared twenty
three feet or over in this country,
Great Britain and Australia. When 1t

burn stands feet 6 inches in height
and weighs 208 pounds. His chest
measures AZ inches, thigh 25k inches,
and calf 16 inches. Newburn starts
with his run about $50 feet back from
tho take-off, and approaches rather
slowly certain mark about ninety
foot khn xolr 0N ~.
Ing at this mark he has given enough
momentum to his body to have quick
ened his speed, which he does after
getting the foot with which he Jumps
at this mark. His strides after leaving
this mark increase In length as his
speed increases, and the last three or
four measure over ten feet in length,
for by this time he is going at his ut
most speed. The stride just in front
OF the take-off is not over seven feet
long, for he must gather himself then
for the jump. and II he put his Jump
Ing foot too far in front Of him he
would more or less retard his momen-
tum. When Newburn leaves the

that he can postpone the inevitable no

credited with running LOG yards in ten

Havana house purchases lot of tobacco
