The Burlington's New Trains

Tho BurlingtOn's New Trains.
Railroad men who have had the privi
Iege OF examining the four new trains
which the Burlington Route, on the lst
OF May. placed In service between Den
yer and Chicago say they are as mag
nificentlv equipped as any in the country
that even the famous limited expresses
between Chicago and New York are
not handsomer or more luxurious.
Every car is wide vestibuled, and built
especially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are indentical in ap-
pearance and arrangement. Each is
composed Of Observation-Disclosures car
palace sleeping-car, dining-car, and
two reclining-chair cars. The buffet
smoking-iibrary car is something new
for q Denver Chicago line. ills verit-
able clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke. talk, or play
cards, while travelling at the rate of fifty
miles an hour. 1t is handsomely
carpeted and furnished with settees,
cushioned easy chairs, lavatory, a writ
ingdesk, a compartment for card
players, and well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and newspapers are
on file. and carefully selected library
is provided for the free nse Of passen-
gers. The sleeping car is gem, and
the chair and dining-cars are in every
way worthy Of the train Of which they
form an important part. ~
The Burlington Route takes these
palatial trains through to Omaha and
Chicago in marvelously quick time.
Leaving Denver at $50 q. m. today on
one of them YOU are landed in Chicago
at 2.15 tomorrow afternoon, there max
ing close connections with trains for all
points east. The running time from
Denver to Chicago ia only twenty-seven
and three-qnarter hours. Just how fast
that is will be- best understood when 1t
ID stated that 1t IL almost five hours
faster than ths fastest schedule in effect
prior to February 9th. 1898.

The Atlanta Constitution tells Of a
somewhat reckless youth who had en-

time in camp In writing home for

The word moro" means anything
that is round, or prominent, says Capt.
Wilder in the Salt Lake Tribune.
MORO is known as castle; castle in
Spanish means fortelaza, which is a
stronghold, fortress. or fortified place.
Moro is termed castle, the same as
"casa." house, for home; there being
no such word as home in the Spanish
language. Moro means kitten.

Fruits to Eat and Those to Avoid.

Fruits to Eat and Those to Avoid.
Fruits as foods, are, then, peaches.
apricots, nectarines; ripe, mellow apples;
dates, figs, fresh and dried prunes with
out skins, persimmons, papaws, very
ripe or cooked bananas. guavas without
seeds-fresh or canned without sugar :;
pineapples, grated or finely picked,
never cut; mangoes, grapes; sweet
plums without skins, sugar cherries,
and an occasional cooked pear. Barlets
are excellent when canned without
sugar.
The fruits which must be used most
sparingiy are lemons, oranges, shad-
docks. currants barberries, cranberries
and Strawberries. This applies most
emphatically to those persons who are
inclined TO uric acid conditions. The
rheumatic and gouty should also most
rigidly abstain. The tender lining of
the child's stomach cannot, certainly,
bear such fruits any length of time
serious results must follow. The ripe,
mellow peach is really the child's fruit.

Washington, September 2.-rhe
French embassy has received q cable
dispatch stating hat the Spanish
peace commissioners started yester-
day for Paris. The trip from Madrid
Is about thlrty-elght hours, so that
the Spanish party is likely to be in
the French capital this morning,
about the time the American commits
sloners arrive
The first word that has come to
Washington from the American mem
bers OF the peace commission since
their departure, a brief announce
ment OF arrival in England, was re-
celved at the navy department yes
terday, being cablegram requesting
that Captain Bradford, chief OF the
equipment bureau, be sent at once
to Paris to assist the commission, As
the officer is The leading expert of
the navy department i'm the matter
OF coalng stations, ocean routes OF
communication, and strategic points,
the inference is that the commission
expects to begin promptly the con-
sideration OF those subjects SO far as
they relate to the Philippines and the
Ladrones.
Respecting the latter group, in
which the United States commission
ers are to make a selection for coal
ing station, it has been found that
the only good-harbor is on the island
of Guam, the capital OF the group,
which was captured by one of the
warships bound for Manila, vet II
that is taken there will be so little
OF the group thus left without an
ocean harbor, that it Is believed that
II would be best for both parties, the
United States and Spain, to allow all
OF the islands to go with Guam into
the United States possession.
Captain Bradford has taken passage
on the Lucania, sailing from New
York next Saturday.

Italy .ReplIes 70 tIle Gar.

Rome, September 27.-The govern

ally worded acceptance Of the cars
invitations to take part in an inter
national peace conference. In it's
note of acceptance the government
expresses sympathy and admiration
for the objects Of the car, but says
It fears that difficulties will arise
over the discussion Of questions other
than that Of armament, which might
accentuate, in the very heart of the
projected conference, conflict OF
opinions, the consequences of which
would nG leave us without anxiety"
The government suggests that the

mulating a definite programme, linn
iting the discussions to the central
idea.

perlntendent McNal seems to have
his feet on the ground,
There have been frequent reports
that the Twenty-nrst Kansas wanted
to be mustered ont OF The government
service. Governor Leedy began an In
yesIigatlon In the matter as soon as
the reports reached him. 1t was not
long until he became satisfied that
the ma orlty OF boys were anxious to
get home so he wired Admtant Gem
erol Corbln as follows; II am rella.
bly, Informed that very large major
ity Of the Twenty-hrst Kansas volun4
teers desire to return TO their homes
In view OF the fact that there seems
to be no probability OF their being
assigned to active duty, and the
further fact that they do not desire
to do garrison duty in the United
States or elsewhere, ] therefore re.
quest that they be mustered out"
Very shortly after the receipt OF the
governors telegram General Corbln
issued an order directing that the
Twenty-hrst Kansas be transported
to Leayenworth to be mustered out.
The regiment is now at Lexington,
Kentucky, and will reach Leayen-
worth some time next week. The
governors action in this matter i'm
dlcates that he Is as ever willing to do
anything that he can do to favor the

to arms when their country needed
them. Ir.
In the early Alliance days the only

lite weapon though Is rldlculc OF the
efforts Of the present administration
to care for the peoples interests.
This is supplemented by continual
stories Of the refusal OF the people to
attend meetings held by Populst
speakers. One or two OF the earliest
meetings were not well attended. At
every point at which meetings were
held last week the PopuIist speakers
had far better crowds than their OPP
ponents considering the population
of the points reached. At least two
Of Congressman Botkin's meetings

Bryan III with MaIarIa.

Washington, September 27.-Colonel
William jennings Bryan, of the Third
Nebraska regiment, was unable TO
leave Washington yesterday for jack
sonvile. II have touch of malaria"
he said hast evening, land my physi-
clan told me yesterday that [ would

passed most Of the cay. His face was
flushed with fever and he remarked
that he guessed he was a little tired
out.
81 have been delayed my return to
Jacksonville" he added, "for three or
four days in the hope that would
be better the next day and be able
TO undertake the journey"
Colonel Bryan expressed the reluc-
lance with which he had admitted his
illness. While he is disposed to look
upon his illness as triAing, 1t is not
at all improbable that he will have
to remain in Washington longer than
he has been calculating to to enable
the fever to run its course.

AInrmist stories Not created.

Washington, September 27,-The
officials OF the war department pro-
nounce to be without foundation in
fact the alnrmlst stories coming from
sources in San Francisco to the effect
that Germany had shown a dispose
ton to arm the Philippine insurgents
with a view to melting them to harass
the American army at Manila. 1t is
undoubtedly fact that some appre-
hension was caused at an early stage
of the war by the attitude Of the Ger"
man naval force in Manila harbor,
but so far as can be learned that diff
Guilty has been smoothed away and
there has been no recurrence Of un-
pleasant incidents in those quarters. p
Information, scarcely official, yet
worthy of credence, has reached
Washington to indicate that Germany
would much desire a coaling station
in the Philippines, preferably taking
the island of Palawn for that purpose.
But it is not supposed that Germany
would undertake to assert any claim
in that quarter unless there should
be a clear exhibition on the part of
the two nations properly interested
In the Philipplnes--the United States
and Spain--of disposition to con-
sent to division of the islands. On
this point the American peace COM
missioners have been fully instruct
ed. AS for the statement that Ger
many was sending 10000 rifles to
arm the insurgents, it was said at the
war department. that such an act
would constitute a casus belli, and 1t
was not supposed for moment that
there was any truth in IL.
