OF COuP's Rolling Palaces, That Were
Once the Rage.
For a long time nearly everybody in
the south knew about "Coup's Rolling
Palaces" but probably none know ex-
actly what became Of them. The roll
ing palaces consisted Of a train Of cars
specially built so as to be connected
at win into one long pavilion. Inside
was a museum, a huge aquarium, a
congress Of freaks and finally an audi
forum department, where brief vaude-
Vile performances were given. The
whole thing was most deliberately got
up, was brilliantly lighted by its own
dynamos and cost 100000 to On

veteran circus man, and he had been
gradually figuring 1t out for years.
When he had 1t perfected he had nc
money, and was Obliged to take in
what show people call Commercial
capital" In other words. business
men backed it, and we're foolish enough
to insist on doing the managing after
Coup had taken 1t through the south
for n extremely profitable season.
The thing was a huge moneymaker,
properly handled. The people would
be let in at one end and kept moving
until they emerged at the other, and
many would make the circuit two or
three times. Under the business mems
management 1. lost heavily, however,
and finally, after innumerable vicissi-
tudes, the train was brought to Chi
ago and sold to a variety theater
manager for $1,000 cash. He broke 1t
I'D and peddled of the cars one at a
time. Fragments of the old outfit are
now wandering about through obscure
country towns, piloted by hy-by-night
showmen, with all sorts OF strange
freaks. That was the end Of the great
rolling palaces that are still distinctly
remembered in cores Of smaller
southern cities. It was a grotesQue
fate for a really big amusement idea.

vice w. H. Truesdale, who has been
elected president Of the Lackawanna.
Mr.. Parker will have charge Of all
transportation matters, but reports and
communications relative to the freight
and passenger departments will be
handled by the heads Of those depart
ments instead of by the general man
ager. The position OF first vice-presi-
dent Is left open for the present. The
following promotions we're also an

II. A. Parker has been in the cOntin-

since 1866, with the exception Of one
period Of less than two years. He was
born at Du Plessis, N. Y, in 184l and
began his railroad career as chairman
on the Rock Island in 1866. Two years
later he was appointed a divisional en-
gineer. During part OF 1868 and 1853
he was resident engineer Of the Fort
Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw rail-
way, but speedily returned to the Rock
Island road, with which he has since
remained. From 1869 until 1873 Mr..
Parker was engaged as extension and
divisional engineer and from 1873 to
1876 was chief engineer Of the Oska-
loosa & Knoxville division. For the
next nine years he was divisional en-

1885 to 1889 vice-president and chief
engineer Of the Chicago. Kansas G.

HAVANA COW MUST 90.
Crusade Against the Housing Of Cattle
in Dwellings.

Crusade Against the Housing Of Cattle
in Dwellings.
The sanitary authorities have begun,
as predicted some weeks ago, the cru
sade against the housing Of cattle in
dwelling places throughout the city
of Havana. Several hundred head Of
milk COWS were driven from residences
along the Prado, the finest section Of
the city, and the majority OF these
were sold by their oT'ners. The lowest
price paid was $3.50 per head, and the
highest $210. These figures will seem
enOrmou to American dairymen and
farmers, who are able to purchase good
milk cow for $40 each, but when the
cost of good beef is q cents per pound,
and the price Of milk $3.50 a gallon, the
prices here are taken into %considera-
ton, tho rate is not excessive. Amer
leans who have been obliged to pay
~ centavos per glass for milk here
are still wondering how the poor live.
The latter do not drink sweet milk,
that is certain. The purchasers of
the COWS removed from residences in
Send to take them into the country,
where there is abundant pasture. The
fodder formerly supplied them was the
coarsest kind Of grass, more like young
cornstalks than anything else, and this
fodder was fed to the cattle in stalls.
They were not given beds to lie upon,
and from standing and lying on the
cold stone floors Of their stables the
majority contracted sores on hoof and
body, and could scarcely walk when
taken by the attendants to the drink
ing place, generally at the rear of the
stable. The American authorities have
the blessing Of the Cuban cattle, II
they haven't that of the Cuban mt
