is somewhat hackneyed term as applied to
railroad trains, but it accurately describes
the Alton Limited, the newly equipped day
trains of the Chicago & Alton r. r. Co.
which were placed in daily service between
Chicago and st. Louis, November l6, 1899.
The equipment consists of standard Chicago
4 Alton passenger locomotive; United
States postal car, sixty-six feet in length;
combination passenger and baggage car,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi.
cago & Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buff
fet smoking car and Pullman parlor observa-
ton car, each of which is seventy two feet
nix inches in length. The framing of all
these cars is Pullman standard with Empire
decks, wide vestibules, standard steel plat.
forms and anti-telescoping device All of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex.
cept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car, which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are of uniform width, the
Gothic lights above being of the new Pull.
man standard. The ornamentation is of spe.
cial design, the color scheme being maroon.
Great care has been used in the selection Of
pushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, etc., are of special
design. 1t is claimed that there has never
been built in America train which has re.
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited. An ex.
animation of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim.

THE LoOTING OF CHURCHES.
Gen. Funston Does Not Believe That the
Men Of the Twentieth Regiment Were
Guilty of Sacrilegious Thievery.

San Francisco, Nov. 21.-Gen. Fred
krick Funston, accompanied by his
wife, arrived at Oakland late last night.
He is on his way to Manila, where he
will report for duty to Gen. Otis. Il
do not know anything about the rob
bing of churches in the Philippines by
American soldiers" declared the gen.
eral in an interview, land while it
may be true that some of our men were
guilty of sacriligious thievery, I can
hardly believe it. During the war be-
tween the Spanish and the Filipinos
there were number of native churches
robbed by Spaniards. A great deal of

men, who eventually sold considerable
of the stuff to the men of our army"

THE MOORE MURDER.
Elijah, q Son Of the Dead Minister. Makes
q Confession and Tells How He
Committed the Crime.

Dexter, Mo-, Nov. 21.-Elijah Moore,
aged 10, who had been held under sus-
picion for the assassination of his
father, Rev. Jesse Moore, made a full
confession yesterday in which he inn
plicated his 15-year-old sister Mary.
Later he amended his confession by ex-
onerating the girl. Later in the day
the boy was indicted by the grand
jury. Young Moore says he planned
the assassination two weeks previous
to its commission. His father, he says,
was cruel to his family and allowed his
children no pleasure. The boy got up
at three o'clock in the morning, shot
his father by moonlight, hung the gun
up in a rack on the front porch and
went to bed.

GEN. WHEELER'S ADVICE.
on the First Day Declare for United
States Sovereignty.

Gen. Wheeler has decided not to
return for congress. He is writing
letter to President Mckinley.
with a request that it be for.
warded to the house of representatives.
In the course of an interview with a
correspondent of the Associated press
he said:
Congress, if it occupies the first day of the
session in passing a resolution declaring in un.
mistakable terms that the sovereignty Of the
United States is to be maintained in the Phil
fppines, thus dispelling Aguinaldo's delusioL
that the anti-imperialists can assist him, will
be performing a sacred duty. Such resolution
would save the lives OF many American soldiers
and Of thousands of deluded Filipinos, would
avert famine, suffering and desolaton from
these islands and would render unnecessary the
expenditure of hundreds of millions Of dollars.

Miss Nora johnson, :6-year-old girl
living near Braymer, sat up in her

Chillicothe, was telegraphed for. He
had scarcely reached home to join
the other mourners at his sisters
funeral when their weeping was

LANDED AT ZAMBOANGA.
Commander of the Castine Now Occupies
IN Important Placs ON the Island of
Mindanao-Hi Force Too Small.

Manila, Nov. 21.-The cruiser Balti-
more starts from Lingayen to-day, and
Rear Admiral Watson purposes to send
another to Natiguin if the gunboat
Helena, which is overdue, has not re-
turned to Lingayen. Sailors from the
gun boat Castine occupy Zamboanga on
the southwest extremity of the island
of Mindanao. The business men,
chiefly Chinese, requested Commander
s. w. Very, of the Castine, to take
possession of the place, and protect
them from the insurgents.
Commander Very landed naval force
and, although no details have been re
ceived, it appears he found that he had
large contract on hand and tele
graphed to Gen. Otis requesting the
presence of troops. But none are
available, except by Withdrawing part
OF the force from one of the neighbor
ing islands temporarily. The original
plan was to have Brig. Gen. Alfred E..
Bates establish the headquarters of
the governorship of the Mohammedan
islands there when the new regiments
arrived. 1t will be carried OUT later,
when Gen. Bates returns from his trip
to the southern islands. He has been
visiting the garrisons, of Jolo, Siassi
and Bongaoa.
The friendliness of the Moras for the
Americans is increasing under Gen.
Bates diplomatic administration.
Mindanao villagers have seized a
smuggling schooner bound from Illoilo
to Zamboanga and supposed to be run
by two discharged soldiers. They muir.
aered all the crew.
The acquisition of Zamboanga at
this time is of great Importance from a
military point of view. It is the prin.
cipal city of Mindanao and dominates
the entire southern half of that island,
which is second in Importance only to
Luzon. 1t has population of nearly
%, 900 people and is well fortified, so
that small garrison of troops could
hold it indefinitely against native at
tacks. In addition it is naval sta
ton, where the Spaniards used to rem.
devious their ships in the southerp
archipelago.

ONLY A FAMILY AFFAIR.
nihcance to the Emperor's Visit to the
Queen-L0ndon Press Eulogistic.

Windsor, Nov. 21.-The emperor and
empress of Germany and their party
arrived here at 1:45 p. m. They were
received by the prince of Wales, duke
OF Cambridge and the duke of York, all
wearing German uniforms. There was
tremendous cheering in the streets as
the imperial party drove to the castle,
where they were received by Queen
Victoria at 2:05 p. m.
The British newspapers all publish
an eulogistic welcome to the emperor
and empress of Germany and are siren
uously endeavoring to make political
capital out of the visit. This view,
however, is opposed by the comment of
to-day's German papers, which insist
that the trip of his majesty is purely a
family affair and has no political sig
niicance whatever.

t!rs. Stoves Letters.

Judged by the magnitude OF their
respective achievements, the famous
women America has SO far produced
must all give precedence to Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe. The prevalence
of this impression throughout the
reading world is a sufficient guarantee
OF interest in the newly published Life
and Letters Of Harriet Beecher Stowe"
edited by Annie Fields. The life Is,
indeed, one of the real heroine to
whom was given a task than which
none could demand higher qualities OF
mind and soul; and the heroine was
equal to the occasion. 1t is not long
since a lengthy biographical sketch Of
Mas. stowe appeared in these columns,
hence 1t is needless to dwell on the
principal events Of her life, as set
forth in the Life and Letters" The
volume is M which should be found
on the same shelf in the library as
Uncle Toms Cabin The pathos of
this remarkable work is almost
equaled by that of the authors own
experience. No woman ever worked
haroer or more unselfshly in the in
terests OF her family, and it is a mat
ter OF amazement that she could find
time and heart for her literary tasks,
while at the same time satisfying the
almost endless demands made upon
iler as L mother, wife and housekeeper.
1T is good for the women Of today to
read such a story Of courage. and
perseverance. 1t may save many a
one from the imminent danger of a
lie wasted in frivolous or selfish pur-
suits.
