As the steamer pitched and rolled in the
waves the traveller heard through the thin
partition a wailing voice in the next state
room eXclaim:
''Oh, mamma, it's coming on again, worse

Then he heard sleepy voice in reply:
"Marie, why don't you follow the direc-

the breath go out as it moves downward,

BRINGS RIPE EXPERIENCE.
frederick J.. v. skin Appointed Di-
rector of Exhibits of the st.
Louis Worlds Fair.

st. Louis. Sept. 1S.-Frederick J.. V.
Skiff has been appointed director of
exhibits of the Worlds fair. The APP
pointment, which places him at the
head of one of the four coordinate
grand divisions of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition. was announced by
President Francis after the meeting
of the executive committee Tuesday.
The new official is director of the
Field Columbian museum of Chicago.
He was formerly deputy director gen
eral of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton and chief of mines and mining
department of that fair. Later he
was appointed by President Mckinley
deputy commissioner general of the
United States section at the Paris eX-
position. In recognition of his serv-
ices in that connection he was deco
rated with the cross of the Legion Of
Honor by the French government. Mr..
Skiff has also received "a bronze medal
from France and a gold medal from
Germany in recognition of merit in
exposition work. He is a member of
the American association for the Ad-
vancement of Science: American In
stitute of Mining Engineers; In|terna-
tional Museums association. and Ma
tional Geographical society. In 1897
he assisted in organizing and was a
member of the jury at the Nashville
exposition.
His eminent qualifications suggest
ed his name for one of the four i'm
portant posts which combine the du-
ties of a director general, an office
that has been eliminated by the ex.
ecutive committee of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition.
His powers will give him the same
administrative scope enjoyed by Isaac
s. Taylor as director of construction
and maintenance. C%oincident with the
appointment the executive committee
created four grand divisions of the
exposition. The director of eXploita-
ton at home and abroad and the di-
rector of concessions and admissions
remains to be appointed.

THE CALLED THIRD PARTY.n
A Hitch Occurs at Kansas CITY Over
the Naming of the New
Political Party.

Kansas City. Mo-, Sept. 1s.-The
allied Third Party" conference had
still not been called to order at two
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The
morning was spent in separate confer
ences by the different contingents.
The platform to be presented 10 the
conference had been decided upon
and accepted by all elements. but
there was n hitch among the opu
LISTS over the name to be given the
new party. The populists would only
agree Professionally to a new name,
insisting that they would have first to
submit the question to their constitu-
ents. The St. Louis delegation was
in favor of adopting a permanent
name, without waiting upon the pop
uiists' cooperation, the name, how
ever, not to be binding upon the pop
ulists till it should be ratified by a
referendum vote. Finally the popu-
lists submitted a proposition to the
other elements to make the work of
the present gathering preliminary, to
be followed by permanent ~organiza-
ton at a national convention to be
held not sooner than six months from
date. They suggested that the pres
ent conference proceed with organi-
cation, giving the new party the tenn
porary name of THE Third Party
Alliance" They favored an organic
and immediate union of all reform
forces, to be officially cemented at the
proposed convention six months
hence, state conventions of all reform
parties to be held in the meantime,
and delegates to the general conven-
ton elected.
Recess was taken to two o'clock,
when the populists' proposition will
be submitted to the other elements.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE COOK.

Not only the cream but the fruit Is
improved by serving lemon or vanilla
ice cream in half sections OF musk
melons.
When p%oaching eeggs it is a good
plan to put a teaspoonful of vinegar
in the water; this sets the whites
quickly and keeps the eggs a nice
shape.
A layer of sliced onions placed OIL
the top of a roast of beef and allowed
to cook there will give a delicious
flavor TO the meat, while their distinc'
tive flavor will not be noticeable.
When a cake contains too much -four
or has baked too fast it will sink from
the edges or rise Up sharply with a
crack in the middle. If cake has a
coarse grain it was not beaten enough
or the oven was too slow.
Cream vegetable soups should be
accompanied with squares of toasted
bread, oyster and clam soups with
pickles and crackers, croutons should
be served with purees; with gumbo
boiled rice is the accompaniment.
In baking all pies where the contents
are liable to soak into the undercrust,
such as lemon, custard or pumpkin
pie, it is better to put OF the lower
crust first and bake it half done, and
then add the custard or other soft
filing.

BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A unique excursion was recently arranged
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
About sixty newspaper men, representing
the leading journals of the country, were
invited to take a trip on the Wyoming d.
VISION. The Overland Route" for the pur-
pose OF viewing the stupendous engineering
achievements recently made on that line.
The train was made up of two private
cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, a dining
car, drawn by one of the new compound en-
glnes, with an observation RECONSTRUCTED
on the same plan as a trolley car-ahead OF
the engine.
One hundred and ffty-eight and four
tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the
mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.47
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 434 to DIGS feet to the mile to a maxi
mum OF 43.3 feet, and curves from 6 to 4 de-
grees, while a great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
A mountain removed and lost into a
chasm; huge holes bored hundreds Of feet
through solid granite, an underground river
encountered and overeome; an army of men,
with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged
IN the work for nearly a year; the great
Union Pacific track between Omaha and
Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi-
mated, and the business of the great Over
land route flowing through a new channel,
without the slightest interruption.
Millions OF money have been spent to re.
duce the grades and shorten the distance.
This reduction is the result of straighten-
ing unnecessary curves and the construc-
ton OF several cutoffs between Buford and
Bear river, Utah.
The curvature saved is about one-half,
the grading about the same, while the angles
are reduced nearly two-thirds. The SUI.
perlority OF these changes is apparent to the
practical railroad engineer. 1t is also APP.
parent to the operating department in the
reduction IN operating expenses, and to the
traveller in the increased speed the trains
can make.
The new line runs due west from Buford,
avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade
from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts
and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills
at a grade of less than one-half (43.3 feet)
over mountain altitudea.
from q constructive standpoint the line
is remarkable for the amount Of material
required in the construction of immense
e~mbankments and the building of large
tunnels through solid rock. The construc.
ton of the new line between Buford and
Laramie alone has involved the excavation
OF 100000 cubic yards of material, one-third
of which Exclusive of the tunnel excaya.
tom has been solid rock, of something over
100000 cubic yards per mile.
Too much credit for this work cannot be
given to Horace G. Bart, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants.
The excursion was replete with many in.
teresting incidents, and the splendid hos.
pitality of the Union Pacific officials was a
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many ways, particu.
larry in a resolution of thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
Lomax, and Messrs. Darlow, Park and
Griffin.

Austrnlian MniI,s RECORD Trip.

The most important mail that has left
Australia in years for London recently made
q record-breaking trip. The mail consisted
of 347 sacks and contained many documents
for the British parliament. At Sidney it
was put on board the steamer Ventura, a
steamship sailing under the American flag
and built only last year for the Oceanic
Steamship company at the Cramps ship
yard in Philadelphia. The trip across the
Pacific occupied just 81 days, the former
time having been 26 days. From San Fran
cisco the mail was hurried east on special

line), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burling.
ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in
Chicago too late to connect with the fast
mail train of the Lake Shore and New York
Central, which is a 24-hour train from Chi
cago to New York. A special train was made
up and attached to one of the fastest en-
gines on the Lake Shore line. The regular
train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour
and a half lost time was made up. At Buff.
falo the regular train was made into two
sections by the New York Central with the
mail cars, including the Australian mail, in
the first section. New York was reached
three minutes ahead of schedule time. At
New York the mail was delivered to the
Campania and that vessel left on regular
time, Barring accidents or unusual delays
it will be delivered in England in several
days shorter time than ever before.
