for servants, n No 4 as a car for
horses
The presidents servants car is finish
ed in natural oak and IS equal or su-
perier in style and finish to that used
who has a private car. If the commits
sary is in keeping with h car. as it
doubtless viii be, the ervants Of Presi-
dent Diaz should travel with somewhat
more of c-onveniences and comforts than
has J. Pierpont Morgan or William K
Vanderbilt.
The horse car, No. 4. is an oddly in
the matter of live stock cars. n Is
better and more extensively equipped
han many of the Pullmans upon which
the porter must be tipped a quarter for
shining the passengers shoes The stalls
are padded. There are managers for feed
ing and troughs for watering the horses

Sc that the horse can be fed and watered
without rouble. In addition there are
bins for grain and spaces for hay. The
cars are lighted with the Gould electric

xle is an ingenious arrangementsmeraI
jointed n about ten inches wide 1t
has the appearance of a "a of mail,
made UP of very fine links, and is a
great Improvement over the usual ar
engagements of this kind
These four cars, made especially for
President Dfaz, will make one of the
finest trains, If not absolutely the finest,
running on any railroad in the world

handsome n artistic arrangement, and
are finished throughout to the utmost
limit Of mechanical and decorative skill

win Discharge Liquor Drinkers.

The vandalia part of the Pennsylvania
system has begun a systematic wedding
out of employees who are in the habit of
INDUCING in Intoxicating liquors The
move is not due to any temperance agi-
the interest Of the road During h past
few years officers of nearly all roads of
any Importance have shown a decided
aversion to employing men who drink
even moderately. Some time g h Al
ton issued an order that no
thinking man would be employed on that
system The rule has been enforced
strictly since its PRONUNCIATION, and any
employe of this road seen f-requenting a
saloon, on or of duty, is liable to be out
of a place Nearly all lines have stand
ing orders against the employment OF
drinking men, and most of them enforce
the rule to the letter.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

Complications in the plot of a play may
prove interesting to some, but the general
public is more easily amused by direct
simplicity, spiced by those necessary con-
diments, wit and ginger" This latter
method was adopted by Chas. H. Hoyt,
when he wrote his latest comedy. "A Day
and a Night" The fac that the public
ear is entranced by sweet and dashfng
melodies did not escape Hoyts practicsd
senses. and the greatest popular compos-
ers have contributed to the play The
cast of characters comprises able expo

Animal Right. In rlor,d..

One thing that strikes a stranger a.
peculiar in this country Is the attitude
of the public toward the cattle and the
hogs. These animals are allowed to
roam about unmolested. and II you
wish to raise anything that they may
destroy you must fence them out. Thus
all the little gardens in which vegeta-
bles are grown and which are called
trucking places" have fence around
them that is certainly pig tight" for
It is often made of ten strands of barb
ed wire. The wire for few such
plots is worth more than all the pigs
in the state. but the hog owner de-
mands it. and it must be done. These
owners Of cattle and hogs were the
first settlers in the state. and they ap-
pear to have bad their own way in
lawmaking ever since. 1t Is a question
of the attitude. In the northern
states If you own cattle you are held
responsible for fencing them In. Here
you must keep other peoples cattle

BIG CROPOF WHEAT AND PEOPLE.

Texas is running a race with Kansas
this year, in trying to show up the big
gest wheat crop, and at the same time
is padding the census with a genuine
increase of population, that will make
some of the older States, step down the
line to give higher place to the "Lone
Star" A paragraph in the New York
Tribune reads as follows:
''Taking Texas as a WHOLE" says a
citizen of that State, ''the outlook is
for yield of wheat, cotton and corn
this year that will break all records.
The wheat crop especially will be enor-
nous. But it is when the census re-
turns are tabulated that Texas will give
the country a surprise. Our increase
of population in the last decade will
show bigger percentage of gain, prob
ably, than has been made by any state
in the Union. My own belief is that
the enumerators' figures will give US a
total of quite 4,OOO,OOO souls, and some
well informed people believe that this
limit may be exceeded"

Richard Whiteing gained the expert
ence for his vivid pictures Of life In the
east Of London by living among the
workers there. Many of his expert
ences among the submerged tenth are
even more interesting than those he
has told in print.
4 Once while talking with q grizxled
old woman. who lived in the same
tenement, she referred to the queen.
'Oh, 'ow l would like to be the
queen" said the ancient beldam.
"Why?" asked Mr.. Whiteing.
"It isn't because Of her 'orses, be.
cause IL were queen l would ave q
donkey cart with red wheels. and Il
isn't because Of 'er band of musicians
on 'orseback. which goes a'ead Of the
'orse guards, for I'd much rather ave
a Hitalian with and organ; but, just
think. If she wakes up at o'clock in
the morning and wants bite to eat
she can touch a bell and ave beef and
boiled cabbage right away"
A factory girl visited a collection Of
antique sculptures, and on her return
Mr.. Whiteing asked her:
"How did you like the statues7"
"None too much at first. sir, because
nearly all of them were shamelessly
dressed. That made me mad until
thought that they was awfully poor in
them days and didn't ave money to
buy clothes with. Then, do you know,
l felt real bad because there wasn't Z
single lidy in the whole bloomin lot OF
them what 'ad a bonnet to 'er name"

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
ON TEMPERANCE.

The Chicago Interior in its report
OF the Presbyterian General Assembly,
says:
The report of the temperance COM
mittee was presented by DR.. Lowry,
with contributions placed at the dis
posal of this board. The entire sup
preston of the liquor traffic must be
aimed at. All efforts to inculcate
temperance truth among the young
ought to be sustained. The practice OF
cigarette smoking especially by young
boys ought to be discountenanced. The
permanent committee were authorized
to unite with other organizations in
seeking to prevent the expectation of Ii
quor to the New Hebrides. The same
applies to the new insular possessions
of the United States. DIR. Lowry
waived his right to address the Assem-
bly, in favor of DR.. Hill, secretary of the
permanent committee. Before this
century began John Mcmillan ani
others resolved to put total abstinence
into practice, and the church courts in
dOrsed them. The church has advanc
ed on this question and has pronouncet
emphatically against the continuance
of the liquor traffic. The drink habit i

Hill made an earnest appeal for NOR

Paderewski, the pianist, has been
captured by America and the Ameri-
cans. He says: "They are far quick
er people than the English. Their en-
thusiasm is SO infectious, and their wo-
men are so beautiful and fascinating.
I consider the Boston Orchestra the
finest in the world. There is no ground
for comparison between the English
and Americans from a musical point of
view. They are totally different. The
English are deep, grandly imaginative,
and so philosophical; the Americans
are all enthusiastic fire, brilliance, and
most exquisite musical fervor."

Fish Living In Hot Water.

There is a pond at Golconda which is
fed by the waters from the hot springs.
This pond has an area Of two or three
acres, and the temperature of the wa
ter is about 70 degrees, and In some
places where the hot water bubbles up
from the bottom the temperature is al
most up to a boiling point. Recently q
discovery has been made that this
warm lake is literally alive with carp.
some Of which are more than one foot
long. All efforts to catch them with
hook and line have failed, and they
will not touch the most tempting bait.
A few of them have been shot, and,
rontrary to the general supposition, the
flesh was hard and palatable.

Commenting on the proposed visit
of Cuban teachers to the United States,
the Boston Globe says:
How refreshingly is the story Of
carnival of corruption in Cuba on
the part of American officials relieved
by the project to take l, 400 Cuban teach
ers to Cambridge, where they will at
tend the Harvard summer school and
enjoy the most complete hospitality,
with all expenses paid. Here is .
scheme that bears not the slightest
taint of politics-the intent being of
the broadest and most disinterested
nature, that of bringing the represen-
tatives of an antiquated and retrogres-
sive civilization into the most harmon
ious social and educational relations
with the best American types.
