The Chicago & Alton has Just put
into service one of the oldest and yet
one of the prettIest trains on record.
1t is Of the same type as the old B..
& O. Royal Blue" and the Lehigh's
.Black Diamond" but It surpasses
either Of these in beauty. 1t runs be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis daily, be-
Ing a daylight train and making tho
distance In eight hours, which is the
limit agreed upon by the lines In that
territory. The equipment consists of
"A postal car, a combination baggage
car and smoker, two chair cars and a
combination dining and observation
car. The equipment is all extraOrdin-
airy, hut none Is 40 decidedly peculiar
Rs the chair cars. It the first place
they are acventy-Bix feet In length
and will seat eighty persons The
ordinary day coach seats sixty. The
windows are about four feet In width.
The chairs are regular revolving chairs
used in all parlor cars, but instead OF
having only two they have four side
by side and a wide aisle between. This,
of course, necessItates that the cars
shalI be wider than the ordinary par
lor cor. These have in addition to the
eighty chairs toilet room and a
smoker
Probably the oldest thing In the
whole lot Is the color Of the train.
II Is entirely cherry color, the coaches
being two shades Of that color, dark

IA plquant dish daintily served" was
the consensus of opinion Of the New
York critics regarding 1.-THE Turtle"
when 1t was originally produced at the
Manhattan Theatre this season. This
most funny Of French farces is booked
for Thursday evening at the Opera
House. and the management desires to
emphasize the fact that 1t win be seen
here with the original company, and
with the same scenic effects and strict
attention to detail that made It's brill
liant and successful run Of 200 nights
possible in New York City. 1.-THE Tur-
tie" was originally produced in Paris
and was performed for two years at the
capital Theatre des Nouveautes, after
wards transferred to Berlin, where 1t is
at present playing and is in active pre-
paratlon at the Carl Theatre. Vienna.

Iron and steel l[arket.

The dullness OF the market has be-
come pronounced and extends to all
lines OF Iron and steel, says the Ohio
Valley Manufacturer. The buyer and
seller seem to avoid each other. The
latter because his product Is sold 80 fur
ahead that he is not willing to make
contracts at less than the present rate,
while the former is confident Of a de-
clded concession Of price in the near fu-
turc, and is waiting for what he calls
soft spots.
Pig Iron-Some sales Of 800 tons at
S1s is all that has been reported for the
week, and while the market is extreme
iy quiet the prices are firm. Even the
metal brokers' are inclined to enjoy the
rest, after the excitement Of the pre-
cedlng nine months.
Blllets-The inquiry for billets has
been limited. but the agents and mills
are stlll less inclined to consider addi-
tional business and prefer not to book
orders until after the first of the new
year.
Finished Observation-Disclosures is the
prevailing tone Of the plate market gem
orally Makers say they can stand a
protracted season of quiet as their obi
cations are very heavy and extend far
into the future. Prices exhibit a re-
markable steadlness.
Old Notwithstanding is rather more
animated this week. Dealers find no
trouble in dlsposlng of any kind OF
scrap they may have in stock. but in
some instances have had to accept a
shade from the values of two or three
weeks ago.
Metals-There is better feeling in
the metal markets. Lead is firmer in
tone with somewhat brisker demand
Desllverized is selling at 455 and cor
roding 4.s5. Copper also is slightly
stronger, Lake being quoted at 17hc
and casting at 1sBc to tic.

an Atlantic citY.n

The extremely popular farce comedy.
"In Atlantis City" comes to the Grand
the first half Of next week. 1t is one of
the most pronounced hits Of last season.
For the present tour everything is new
and of an exhilarating character A
notable gathering of comedian dane
ers and lyric artists make Np she per-
feet comedy organization. The grace.
beauty and chic of the performance is
furnished by bevy of attractive young
girls. In fact the three acts Of I'm At
lantic City are fairly ablaze with vocal
and terpsIchorean novelties and unique
speclalties. The play itself holds the
record for containing more laughs than
all other farce comedies combined.

Mothsr Psnnle,s Money!

Hennessy Leroyle comes to the Opera
House Monday evening, December 18th.
and will display for the edIflcation Of
amusement seekers, "other Peoples
Money" There might be no idea OF the
fun in store for the theatregoer in this
simple announcement, but when 1t is
known that the title Of the play has
been given to one of the brightest and
best Of the purely farclcal school OF
plays seen in this country in the past
decade Their it will be understood in
what way the actor has sought to han
die other peoples money throughout the
country. In writing play 1t is the
same as preparing dinner. You must
have the proper ingredients for the dish
YOU would serve. In the case OF the
comedy player 1t is ESSENTIAL that there
should be series of apparently mex
plainable complications and 1t is in the
unravelling Of these that the funny
scenes and situations and laugh pro-
ducIng lines come forth. For the past
two seasons Hennessy LerOyle has been
before the public as a star in this play
and both star and play have made
themselves enviabIe regulations. The
actor as an amusement purveyor of the
highest order and the play the most ac-
ceptable Of vehicles in which to display
his talents. Mr.. Leroyle is surrounded
by an exceedingly clever company and
the presentation of "other Peoples
Money" should afford an evening rich
in exhilarating amusement.

Captain John A. Wood maintains that
the only way to properly improve the
Ohio river at Dun is to build dyke at
a point a short distance below the place
where the boats have been sticking,
He said that dyke built in any por-
ton Of the Ohio river has tendency
to deepen the water above 1t, as the
dyke In a measure acts as dam. He
believes that II one is built at Dun
1t viii raise the river sufficiently to en-
able boats to get over the bad places.
Captain Wood says that forty years
ago a dyke was built there by the coal
men, but 1t was so placed that 1t was
more Of an obstruction than a benefit.
He says that II dyke Is built at Duff

HOW HE STOPPED THE VAIL.
A Street Car Conductor Who Knows
Something About Babies.

There Is cre conductor at least on
the Fourteenth street line who has
some kids Of his own. This might be
regarded as Il safe generalization, but
the specific demonstration took pace
the other afternoon between the rush
cncurs The ear was not more than
comfortably filed when 4 plain look
iLg woman with jolly, Wholesome
looking baby boarded the ear By a
special providence and the courtesy Of
a man IN Cvaralls, she got an end seat
vi thout having TIC crawl over amy che.
She was riding on a U street transfer,
and wionanlike she turned it over %
the baby, who was examining 1t with
that deep AID speculative look that
only an eighteen months old baby can
muster over a subject dit knows moth
ING about.
Taken altogether, however, ..he baby
decided thslt it approved of the trans
fer. He turned 1t ever with sotemn
satisfaction, emitting the while those
iLi1Tticulate sounds ths'. only a baby
can make and only a woman initiate
just then the conductor swung along
the running board collecting fares.
The baby was taken with his good ma
tured grin and the shine of his brass
buttons, SO he showed the transfer Cl.-
with one chubby fist as much as TO
2sk what the conductor thought of it.
The conductor naturally appropIiat-
ed 1t with a nod of Acknowledged
br'1 It,his the bnby regarded as a base
betrayal of confidence. 1t regarded
the transfer as vested interest, and
when it saw the pink paper vanishing
it contracted all Of it's mobile counte-
nance to a point the center of which
was a quiverinlg 9i..:le mouth, and with
infantfle delibernttlon it got ready 10
cry
The conductor saw ct all in a mincte
Well, it undoubtedly was against all
the rules Of the company, and if there
had been a spotter on the car the con-
dlo.sor- might have lost his job for it,
but he deftly whipped off an I'M
punched transfer from the bottom Of
the pack in his other hand and dealt
it TO the baby 1t worked like a charm.
The vail never fully developed itsslf
and the baby continued to gravely ex
anime its recovered treasure.
Tha'S is why it is safe to figure that
a certain conductor has youngsters of
his own.-WashingtOn Star.
