SIBERIAN TRAINS DE LUXE.
All the Modern Conveniences and h.
 cOnyenieICcs to Be Had

Appropos of things Russian the Si- berian railway is row advertising ex- cUrsions into Central Asia, about all the capitals of Europe, and finding a jew Englishmen and Americans and more F'renchmen and Germans ready for the journey. From time to time d train de luxe, as it is called, leaves Mos COW fer the presend end of the line. d tew hundred miles west Of Irkuts.z To the Russians. who do not associate comfort with journeys by railway, the equipment of the train is a marvel;
 while those that are accustomed to such comforts and conveniences as the lines of western and Of central Europe supply, are warm in praise of it. Like some of the trains between New York and Chicago, it is lighted by electric ity and provided with Q bath room, a dining car, books and magazines (not necessarily written in Russian), sta- tionery and other small conveniences. but no American railway, if I do not mistake, has yet furnished it's bath :ooIn with gymnastic apparatus On placed piano and music on any of it's ''Limiteds'
 Even these, according to the gossip of the London clubs, do not satisfy the ambition of the Siberian railway. It has even been mindful Of the amateur photographer, and in corner Of each ofthe two trains de luxe, there is q dark room for the development. of his pictures. Managing directors that would think of the needs of the photog- Tapbing traveller would not forget the bicyclist,and for him they have pro- vlded the rather dubious convenience Of a stationary bicycle, whereon he may at least move his legs and keep the knack of balancing. Indeed there seems to be only one drawback to the comfort of the journey. Baths are still an anomaly in Russia, and the passenger must bespeak his at least three hours in advance. With con- parry of sixty, the complement of the train, this requirement. barely permits two baths between Moscow and Irk- utsk. The object of the train is two

or account of the contest. The con- vention then adjourned to 2 o'clock. Rowe was strongly condemned for his unfairness and inability to preside as he lost complete control of the con- vention, which for an hour presented a scene impossible to describe. Men were yelling, screaming and gestur- ing The uproar was drowned only by the playing of the band A majority Of the committee on credentials were said to be in favor of Smith. This would unseat the Barnes crowd if noth- ing unforeseen happened, and give Sn ith control. Smith is sad and dis gusted with the convention, and his fl tends say he will withdi aw when the Barnes crowd has been unseated, pre- ferring harmony to further honor.
 ElIinwood was generally looked upon as the nominee then. Others said, though, that Smith in withdrawing would endeavor to throw his strength to Wilson, believing him the weakest candidate and his defeat at the polls certain. He would thus teach the de- mocracy a lesson and make his own candidacy certain two yeas hsnce.

A partial report em- bI;.cing the seven counties in which there was no contest was received at o'clock. This enabled the conven- tioI to proceed with the order of busi- ness. The credential committee made final report at 5:30, unseating the Bsrnes delegation from Pima county by the unanimous vote Of the commit tee.
 This decision was sustained by the convention without a dissenting vote, much to the surprise of Barnes. The turEeddown delegation took its med idicine without word and the con- veEtion again adjourned to o'clock. Up to this time no enthusiasm had been manifested and but few visitors were present. No decorations were ill evidence except the flag. Tha candl- dates had been too busy watching each ether to take interest in details.

He Held His Own...

During the recent heavy fog in New
York o young man named Kingsley
was standing on corner early in the
morning waiting for a car, when he
saw a very tough looking man ap-
proach him. Kingsley was three miles
from home and had only q nickel,
which he was holding. tightly in his
hand for fear that it might be lost.
The stranger reached the young ma2,
and, just as the latter thought,
proved to be highwayman. He or
dered Kingsley to throw up his hands
and then he proceeded to go through
his pockets. AS the victim put up
his hands he managed to slide the
nickel into his mouth. The robber
found no money, and, taking stock Of
Kingsley's good clothes, at once made
another search. Finally he became
enraged, and remarking, you're d
pretty chap to be at large at this hour
of the morning." dealt Kingsley O
blow in the mouth, landing him on the
pavement and at the same time caus.
ing him to swallow the nickel. As
soon as he got his breath Kingsley
shouted for help, and two officers, who
were near at hand, succeeded in catch.

to be an old ict.-Bufalo Express.

Corrosive Power of Pure water.

The corrosive power Of pure water
on new or unsealed boilers was well
illustrated in the City Of Glasgow,
when new water supply was intro
duced from Loch Katrine, one Of the
purest waters in the world which are
available for city consumption. The
former supply had been poor and cal
careous and old boilers were much
coated with lime scale. To the dismay
of the users, those who had put in
new boilers or new tubes found them
rapidly corroding, while the old scaled
and coated boilers remained as before
those, too, who had removed every
possible trace of old incrustation from
their old boilers by mechanical OF
chemical means, intending thus to get.
as they expected, the full benefit Of
pure water, were also badly troubled
by corrosion, and even the old boilers,
as the scale was gradually removed BY
the unvarying soft and pure water
from the lake, were more or less cor
roded when no means were taken te
prevent it.

WAR DEPARTMENT GROCERIES.
What They Are and How They Are
Purchased.

what They Are anu Ao" ANY
Purchased.
The War Department maintains a
number of grocery shops in various
parts Of the country. There is one IN
New York City, another in Chicago,
another in Boston, another IN St:
Louis, another in San Francisco and
so on all over the United States. They
are kept up for the purpose OF fur
nishing supplies to officers and enlist,
ed men in different sections. In this
way much expense for transportation
is avoided. At every army post there
is such a grocery store, as rule under
charge of commissary. All the com.
missaries are under the direction OF
the Commissary General of the army
The army grocery store furnishes
groceries to any officers and soldiers
who wish to take advantage OF the
cheap rates at which goods OF this
kind ara offered by the Government.
Everything is sold at the lowest rates,
the goods being purchased by the
Government, not in open market,
wholesale, but under contract from the
lowest bidders. Flour, for example,
worth SIS barrel, comes at 50. 70.
There are no bad debts, officers being
obliged to square up monthly, whlle
enlisted men must pay cash.

attention will be paid to the materia'

Rabbits Frozen While Afoot.

Ever since the late cold snap in
Nevada the Indians there have been
selling jack rabbits in great numbers
and at low prices. It turns out that
they have not shot them, but that the
animals have been frozen to death.
The Indians prod around in the snow
for them and pick them up by the
score frozen hard as stone. A hunter
says that he saw hundreds Of the1ittle
fellows huddled together in Kings
Canyon just after the blizzard, and
was surprised that they should allow
him to approach without stirring. He
blazed away into the bunch, but the
rabbits did not run, and when he came
up to them he found that they were all
frozen stiff.

CHAPTER VII. ,
ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND wAT


Il expect to hear good deal about
Colonel Accrington before old age makes
me deaf" graciously observed her grace
the Duchess of Carisbrooke to that fair
queen of mode, Mrs. Dellamere, on the
occasion of garden party held at her
vi la in Stafford few weeks after the
Crecy Festival "He is such sad dog,
they tel me, q real vaurien," pursued
the dowager; "but what of that? an at
tache must be all things to all men, and
he is born diplomatist / can see that
he intends to carry that borough over
Young Arden's head-he had better re-
turn from his wanderings If he means
to represent Stafford. That would be a
hard hit against the monastic Inchcape,
for he has set his heart upon Edgar's
election. Well, to the victor belong the
spoils-I care not which wins!"
Mrs. Dellamere, who was supporting
the tottering steps Of her hostess
through the bright parterres of autumn
flowers, crowded with brilliant guests,
drank in this eu.ogy of her old-time
lover with a proudly swelling heart;
her tread grew statelier, her glance
swept around the gay scene more conf

heart!
The Duchess villa was a mere doll
house, as befitted her lone and lorn con-
dition of widowhood, she said; but it
was surrounded by fine old gardens, the
pride of Stafford, and there she was fond
of holding grand reviews of the beauty
and fashion of the neighborhood. To-
day all our friends had assembled-the
Crecys, Delameres, mother and daugh-
ter-and not until they were some time
there, and no escape possible without a
scene, did Colonel Accrington saunter in
among them on the arm of his uncle and
present host, Rear Admiral Archerfield,
with his admirer Lucius Leicester In

Mrs Crecy's pleasure was gone; the
wrath of wronged Engelonde Inchcape

! Accrington; but as she only suspected
him, and had no proof against him, she
| had not even opened her mind to her
husband, who accordingly ran to greet
their old ac luaintance with beaming
| cordiaiity. Auberon Crecy and Love-
day Dellamere, who had been engrossed
with their gay companions in some of
the amusements provided, became aware
of his presence by a subtle magnetism
the moment he approached, and fol-
lowed his every movement with reluc-
tant consciousness

dainty sea-sheil ear, "what do you think
