ADDITION TO TRAINS.
1.-THE Meteor and ''The Worlds Fair
Special to the Frisco System.

The route OF this flyer is via our old
line, through the Ozarks and Indian Ter.
ritory to Sapula, thence over the Red
River Division through the historic Greek
Chickasaw Nations, via Denison and
sherman, to Fort Worth and points
Southwest thereof; and via Sherman and
the Houston & Texas Central Rail-
road to Dallas and Beyond. The more
newly-constructed portionIof the roadbed
traversed has been heavily ballasted with
rock, laid with heavy rail, and In every
way brought fully up to the STANDARD OF
other divisions OF the Frisco System.
The train will be made up OF entirely new
equipment throughout, carrying Palace
Day Coaches, Reclining Chair Cars, Pull
man Drawing Room Sleepers and
CAFE OBSERVATION CARS,
In which meals a la carte Will be served
at hours convenient to thu traveller.
This service will be under the manage
ment OF Mr.. Fred. Harvey, whose name
should be a sufficient guarantee OF careful
attention to the inner man. just a word
about these cars: The dining room is To-
Gated in the forward end. The rear por.
tion of this car is occupied by an obser'
walton saloon, and is provided with easy
chairs, writing desks aud stationery, and
a library service embracing the leading
daily papers and the more popular weekly
periodicals. The train will be lighted
by electricity. aud cooled by electric fans
during the summer months.
TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
The inauguration Of service Of
this character means quite as much to
its patrons as 1t does to the railway com
pany interested. II we were not sanguine
Of the success OF this train, it goes with
cut saying that it would never have been
established. 1t fills a long-ielt want and
opens a new and fast developing country.
But we feel that these are not the only
factors that may reasonably be expectto
contribute to Its s~uccess-the line is ias
the train is a "handy" one, as regards
hours OF arrival at and departure frou
termini; and the equipment is ornate, an,
provided with all modern conveniences
These features should, Of themselves,
tend to make the train popular.
We also take pleasure in announcing
material improvements in our service via
Fort Smith aud Paris TO Texas and the
Southwest.

broker to a Washington Star writer.

money stood on the banks Of the
Potomac 200 years ago and have m
vested in vacant land with a prone
milton that a great city would rase
in the wilderness on the north bank
Of the beautiful river. When We
count the profit Of a speculation \
vacant land, we should always cem-
pare it to an investment of the
amount Of money involved in TIE
transaction placed at compound. n
terest. The speculator can really ss
said to make money only when Ms
enterprise yields him more than 30
current rate OF interest. OTHERWISE
there would be nc incentive on Es
part to allow his money to be unprs-
ductive for years with an uncertainty
as to the ultimate result. Let US
take an actual case to illustrate hsT

have made a posr investment, eyen

shores of the Potomac, and have told
him that here some day would rise q
