A New Feature In Western TRAVELLING

A New Feature in Western Travelling.
The Pullman Company now operates
two grades of sleeping cars via the Rlo
Grande Western Railway. The ordl-
nary sleepers are entirely new, and the
berths, both upper and lower. are fitted
up complete with mattresses, blankets,
sheets, pillows, curtains, ETC., with
stoves arranged for making tea, coffee,
etc., requiring nothing to be furnished
by passengers. Uniformed Pullman
porters are in charge of the cars, who
are required to keep them in good order
and attend to the wants and comforts
of passengers. The cars are very hand
some and commodious, and while not
so elegant, are just as comfortable as
standard or palace sleepers. Both first
and second-class passengers are permit
ted to occupy these cars on payment
of the Pullman berth rates, which are
less than half of the rates charged In
the regular Pullman palace sleeping
cars.
The ordinary sleepers are carried
daily on trains via Rio Grande West
ern Railway between Denver and San
Francisco and Portland. On five days
in each week the sleepers are run
through between Los Angeles and San
Francisco, or Portland and Denver,
Omaha, Chicago and Boston.

MANY BILLS INTRODUCED
The United States Senate
Down to Business.
FINANCE BILL BROUGHT IN
Resolutions offered Providing for an
Investigation Of the Polygamy Cues
ton I'm the House.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Nearly oO0
bills and Joint resolutions, several i'm
portant concurrent resolutions and Pc
titions numbering hundreds were pre-
sented to the senate today. A major
ity of the bills were old stagers. A
few were of national interest and i'm
portance. Aldrich had the honor of in
Producing the first measure in the SEN
ate. 1t was the financial bill drawn
by the senate committee on finance
of which Alrdich is chairman-and
probably was the most important mea-
sure introduced during the day.
Resolutions were offered providing
for an investigation by the judiciary
committee of all phases of polygamy
recently presented in connection with
what is known as the Roberts case; ex-
pressing the sympathy of the senate for
the Beers in their war with Great Brit
ain, and declaring that Senator N. b.
Scott. of West Virginia, is not entitled
to a seat in the senate. Harris, Popu-
list, of Kansas, was appointed to
temporary member of the committee
on privileges and elections. The ap.
pointment is important and significant,
because the committee has under con.
sideration the Quay, Clark and Scott
contests.
The senate spent half an hour in ex'
ecutive session, but beyond the very
prompt confirmation of Secretary
Roots nomination, sent in today, and
the reference to committees of the
numerous nominations today, it trans
acted no business

elbow long should mourninp GOV

"How long should mourning gowns
be worn by widow of 22?" was the
question that came sobbing through the
mails. Now It CHANGED to be the
sporting EDITORS day off, and the relig-
ious editor, therefore, was attending
to the Side Talks with Young Persons.
"There is no hard and fast rule" wrote
the religious editor, confidently, "but
they ought to come down to the boot
tops, at least" This incident illus
trates the occasional awkwardness of q
newspaper standing as bulwark of
morals to the exclusion of everything
else.-Detroit Journal.

A typical instance of the effect OF a
pension on longevity comes from Luz
ton, where the death has occurred OF a
man in his 8Oth year. who enjoyed for
over half q century an annual allow
ance from the war Office. He was born
in 1918, in Canada, where his father
was a soldier, and at the age OF be-
came drummer boy, subsequently
blossoming into q full-blown private
of foot regiment. He never did any
fighting, and retired at the age OF 80,
with a pension, on account OF ILL
health. A few years later he joined
the Bedford constabulary, and attained
to the rank of sergeant, subsequently
becoming an instructor of fife-and-drum
bands, and holding the post OF drum
major in the Luton volunteers.

pbv.io Street, Canton, China.

Canton possesses the queerest street
in the world, in spite of the fact that
in nearly all the big towns in China
there are some remarkable streets. The
chief thing of interest attaching to this
eccentric thoroughfars is the fact that
it is rooted in with glazed paper fast
ened on bamboo and contains more
signboards to the square foot than any
other street in any other country. Inc
next interesting fact about this Cam
ton byway is that, though q business
street, it contains no other shops but
those of apothecaries and dentists par
lors; no professional men but doctors.
1t is a sick mans paradise and Chi
nese physicians Klondike. They call
it Physic street, which is descriptive II
not picturesque.

In his latest novel, "A Duet, Conan
Doyle lays down some "Maxims for the
Married. that are worth framing and
hanging over the mantle piece in every
new home. Here are few Of them:
Never both be cross at the same time.
Wait your turn.
You were gentleman and lady before
YOU were husband and wife. Don't
forget it. A blind love Is foolish
love. Encourage the best.
If you take liberties be prepared to
give them. There is only one thing
worse than qusrrels in public. That is
caresses.
Money is not essential to happiness,
but happy people usually have enough.
So save some.
The easiest way of saving is to do
without things.
If you can't, then you had better do
without wife.
TIE man who respects his wife does
not turn her into Q mendicant. Give
her q purse of her own.-Washington
Post.

LINED UP ON THE TUGELA.
Fifteen to Twenty Thousand Beers
Waiting for Butler.

Waiting for Butler.
New York, Dec. IA dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
1t is now certain that the Beers are
in great force on the further side of the
Tugela river. The Boer army, which
invaded Natal, was put by good judges
at 25, 900 to 10000 men. If we accept
the latter figure, and deduct 1000 from
losses which may have been made good
by disloyal Dutch recruits from Natal,
and another 10000 for the remaining
force at Ladysmith, the total of the
army confronting General Butler may
be from $4,000 to $1,000 men.
In the meantime, some news has
come through from Ladysmith showing
that while on the one hand the Beers
bombardment was becoming severe, on
the other one of the naval guns had
once more silenced the big Boer 40 or
100-pounder.
General Gatacre has occupied and
secured a large quantity of corn which
would doubtless have been command.
eered had the Beers been allowed to
make longer stay.

The Day in the Senate.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Today's SEES.
sion of the senate lasted two hours and
40 minutes, practically the entire time
being consumed in the reading of the
presidents message. The reading was
largely perfunctory, few senators &C
cording it any attention.
The announcement of the death Of
Senator-elect NJ. l.. Hayward, of Ne
braska, was received by the senate
with sincere regret. Although he was
not officially member of the body, he
was well-known to many of the sena-
tors and by them was held in high re-
gard. At the conclusion of the reading
of the message, the senate adopted reso-
lutions of regret presented by Senator
Thurston, of Nebraska, and as a mark
of respect adjourned Immediately.

Women Use Guns and Knives to Drive
Men From Work.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. GA week
ago 600 miners employed in the mines
of the Diamondville Coal & Coke Com
pany, at Diamondville, Wyo., struck
for an increase in wages. Their de-
mands were refused, and small force
of non-union men went to work. At
an early hour this morning q mob of
800 women and girls, armed with guns,
knives, clubs and stones, marched to
the mines and compelled the operators
to fee.
The miners at work were dragged
from the mines and also driven away.
Several were injured by being struck
with clubs, and one man was shot at,
presumably by one of the number of
strikers concealed near the mines. The
small force of deputies guarding the
company's property was powerless.
The miners have been importing
arms and ammunition and more trou-
BILE is looked for.

ROBERTS EXCLUDED.
Tho House Ordered an Investigation OF
His Case.

The House ordered an lnvestlgathOh OA
His Case.
Washington, Dec. 7.-After an in
teresting debate of three hours, the
house today, by . vote of 300 to 80.
adopted the resolution offered by Tay-
lor, of Ohio. Monday, for the appoint
ment of special committee to investi-
gate the charges against Brigham II.
Roberts, the Mormon representative
elect from Utah. Previously the house
had rejected a substitute resolution
offered by Richardson, the leader OF
the minority, to allow Roberts to be
sworn in and to send the whole case to
the judiciary committee. The substi-
tute resolution, however, by no means
commanded the full Democratic
strength. Only 81 members voted for
it. Of the 80 who then voted against
the Taylor resolution, all were Demo-
Gratis except two-Loud and Newlands.
BY the terms of the resolution Rob-
erts is not only excluded from all par
ticipation in the proceedings Of the
house until the committee reports and
the house passes upon his case, but he
is denied a seat in the hall. Whether
this will be interpreted to deny him
admission within the chamber pending
the disposition of his case is yet to be
decided.
The reading of the presidents mes
sage was completely overshadowed by
the dramatic proceedings which result
ed in the action of the house today.
The galleries were thronged with spec
tators, mostly women, who sat pa
tiently through the three weary hours
that preceded the debate, and then
waited on three hours more until it was
concluded.
The most remarkable feature of the
debate was the fact that Roberts pres
entation of his own side of the case,
which lasted almost an hour, became
SO absorbing that he won the sympathy
of many of those in the galleries, and
was several times showered with APP
plause. 1t was evident that he realized
that the house was overwhelmingly
against him, and at times he spoke de-
family and fiercely.
During the debate Grosvenor of Ohio
rose to repel Indignantly an insinua-
ton of Roberts that the president had
knowingly appointed men guilty of
polygamy to federal offices in Utah.
