New York. oct. 6.-As the steam yachts

come again into active service, and the
majority Of these small palaces on wheels
are done over from end to end once year
before their luxurious owners consider
them fl for use.
Up TO the time of his marriage. George
Vanderbilt made his runs across the con-
tinent and between New York and North
Carolina in car of his own, upholstered
in dark carved oak and embossed red
leather, and this was regarded as the
most comfortable coach owned by bach
elor; but Mrs. Vanderbilt found the sober

car has been wholly redecorated in the
most perfect Louis XIV fashion. Mauve
aud green are the prevailing colors in the
upholstery, the woodwork is heavily gid
ed and the ceiling of Mrs. Vanderbilt
stateroom is painted TO represent Phaeton
driving The chariot of the Sun. Even TO
the china, glass and napery last century
patterns are carried out, and the footman
that answers the bell in the saloon wears
knee breeches and a long-tailed coat adOrn-
ed with brass buttons.
As often as a half dozen times a year
the decorators go over the interior of the
car to eradicate by skilful touches any of
the studying effects hard usage may show
ON the delicate woodwork and hangings,
for the beautiful car is kept in constant
use. With almost more than regal gener-
osity, this sumptuous conveyance is sent
to Boston, New York or Chicago when
guests are invited TO Baltimore, in order
to transport them to the great chateau and
the end of the visit it returns the whole
house party 10 It's respective homes.

CACTI IN 4 BOTTLE.
VIII Flourish After Being Sealed for
Five or More Years.

VIII Flourish After Being Sealed for
Five or More Years.
A new method of growing cacti has been
discovered in the botanical gardens of
Berlin. 1t is so simple and easy that no
one need be without at least one fine cac-
tus in the sitting room or parlor. All that
is required is a shapely bottle, a little
rich earth and a few cactus seeds that
can be bought of any florist for a few
cents. Bottles in which creme de menthe
or some of the other oordials usually come
are well adapted 10 this purpose on ac-
count of the clearness of the glass and
the grace of their shape.
Having secured the bottle. cleanse it
thoroughly and then put earth in il until
the bottom is covered 10 hight of about
an inch. Sprinkle this earth well, almost
soaking wet, and then throw in three or
four cactus seeds. Close the bottle snug
ly with a tight-titting cork and seal il
close with sealing wax. TIE a strong cord
around the neck of the bottle and hang il
i'm a window that the sun reaches for at
least several hours every day In cold
weather the bottle must not be exposed
to the air. The living room, with con
stant temperat ure of 20 degrees or more
suits the experiment admirably. Then the
entire process of growth can be watched
with no small interest. The opening and
roofing of the seeds, and the gradual de-
velopment of the plants will follow. almost
as if by magic. Soon the cacti win be of
such size that you can astonish YOUR
friends by a sight of them, and they will
hardly believe you when you tell them
that these plants are growing without
any care or water. That they will so
flourish for years is proven by this pic
ture of a bottled cactus grown in the
manner described at the Berlin Botanical
Gardens the bottle having been sealed up
just five years ago.

ASSAILS THE OIL TRUST.
Remarks Before the Industrial Com
mission Create a Sensation.

While in session in Washington last
week the industrial commission heard a
statement from L. NJ lockwood, an
oil producer of Zelinople, Pa, in oppo-
sition to the Standard Oil trust. Mr..
Lockwood declared that this company
had driven the independent refineries
into bankruptcy and servitude and he
denounced the course pursued in severe
terms. He held the railroads especially
responsible for this condition of affairs.
Going back to 1879, he referred at length
to a contract made by the trunk lines
Of Pennsylvania with the south Ina
sprovement company. Under this con-
tract, he said, the freight rates on oil
were doubled and half the amount col
lected was paid back as rebate-not
only this, but the contract company re.
ceived like rebate of the shipments Of
OIL other companies. This contract, he
declared, had been secretly continued
by the railroads with the Standard Oil
company.
He quoted A. J. Cassatt, the new
presieent Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
as testifying before the new interstate
railway commission to the effect that
while the open rate to the public was
81. 90 per barrel the rate to the Stand.
ard company was 80 cents. Further
investigation, said Mr.. Lockwood, had
developed the fact that the railroad
companies actually received only 80
cents. This condition of affairs had re.
suited for time, according to the wit.
ness, in giving the Standard company q
profit of 400 per cent, while the indie.
pendent refneries were being driven
rapidly into bankruptcy. Mr.. Lock
wood was free in the use of epithets,
characterizing both the oil company
and railroad officials as highwaymen
and brigands,
IF you have got to be robbed, he tx.
claimed, ut does not matter much
whether you are held up by Dick Tur-
pin with pistol or by John Rockefeller
with railroad, which is robbery all
the same" He said that the men who
had carefully examined the testimony
taken before the Hepburn committee
estimated that in 1856 months time the
Eve trunk lines of Pennsylvania had
paid the Standard Oil company $11, ,OOO-
300 in rebates; the railroad companies
had, he said, compl etely ignored the
order of the interstate commerce com
mission to stop their discrimination in
tavor Of the Standard Oil company, re-
.erting then to the system of false bill
ng.
IF the railroad companies can con-
rol the appointment of the attorney
general and justices of the supreme
,curt, what do they care for the law?'
he witness asked.
The only safe plan, said Mr.. Lock-
wood, was to take the railroads out of
he hands of the corporations and place
hem under control of the government,
o that every man could go to market as
heaply as every other man. He con-
idered all the railroads of the country
8 practically one in the trust, and as
erted they were in control of politics,

ors, senators and judges and to punish
