A PUBLIC CHRISTENING.
Tho Minneapolis h St. Louis Railroad viii
Let the Public Choose Name for Its
Elegant New Chicago Train.

In reply to Skakspeare's famous
query, whats in name the Mime
apolis & ST. Louis road has decided
that there's good deal in just the right
title, especially when it comes to trains.
On Nov. the NJ. & St. L. is to inaug-
urate its new service through Mime
sofa, Iowa and Illinois to Chicago and
1nasmuch as the new train is for the
benefit OF the public, A. B. Cuts, gen.
eral passenger agent of the NJ. & St.
L. has decided to let the public do the
christening.
For the best name submitted for the
new train, prize of one bright SEQ
gold piece will be paid.
In addition, if the best name is sub
mitted by public school pupil, there
will be IS gold piece for the prize
winner beside the SEQ coin. Mr.. Cults
makes this special inducement to the
children because he believes the young
sters are full of bright ideas which,
should be encouraged.
The past decade has seen giant
strides made in the art of car building
Luxurles which only a few years ago
were supposed to be reserved for mill
ionaires have been provided to obviate
the dlscomforts of travel and to attract
tourists to some particular route. With
the palatial train, came the custom Of
names which suggested in some way
the character of the equipment, or were
appropriate to the road. Thus the B.
& 0. road has the Royal Blue; the Le-
high Valley. the Black Diamond Ex-
press; the New York Central, the EN-
pire State Express, which found its way
onto the Pan American postage
stamps; the Canadian Pacific, the I'm
! perial Limited and so on through the
catalogue of expresses, 1imiteds and
flyers.
The new train of the M. & St. l.. is the
latest work of the Pullman company
to be introduced by any Twin City,
! Chicago line, and that means it enbod-
les all the best and latest ideas with re-
gard to luxury comfort and elegance.
In addition to the sleepers and coaches
it has library and buffet car which is
veritable club house on wheels. Co.
ing into Chicago a diner will be attach
cd for breakfast and dinner will be serv-
ed in the evening under a similar ar
rangenent. The interior finish of the
train is uniform, being mahogany, and
the exterior is done in the handsome.
dark olive green which is so artistically
employed by the Pullman company.
The name for this train must be pat
and euphonious; it must stick in the
mind of the traveller who hears it and it
must trip gracefully from the tongue.
1t may be based upon the character of
the train, the name of the road or of
the terminal cities or it may be just
name that sounds so we'll that people
will like to say it. These are the only
specifications for this matter of making
name can not be hedged about by
hard and fast rules. However, Mr.
Cults has absolute confidence that the
public will make him spend his $40 or
SIS, as the case may be, to good advan-
tage. All suggestions should be sent
to A. B. Cults, at the Guaranty build
ing, Minneapolis, before Oct 81.

COUNTRY FOR THE NEGRO.
New Methods of Promoting Coloni-
zation of the Colored People
in Siberia,

Some new ideas relating to the trans
planting of American negroes in Ii
IBERIA have been introduced by Rev. p.
j. Harris and Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Green,
three Mississippi negroes of intelli-
gence and business capacity, who ex-
pect to reside permanently in Liberia
and give all their time to the interests
of the emigration of their race to that
country, reports a southern exchange.
These agents, before any negroes are
invited to go to Liberia, are to make a
thorough study of various parts of the
country to ascertain what locations in
elevated and healthful sections of the
republic, away from the coast, are de-
sirable as homes for Americans. The
effort will be made to build up vigor-
Gus and self-supporting settlements,
whose chances for success will be
greatly improved by the fact that fav-
orable conditions are to be found be-
fore Americans are invited to go to the
new regions.
Mr.. Green reports that about 1000
negroes, substantial farmers, artisans
skilled in various trades and other per-
sons who will make desirable colonists,
are ready to start for Liberia as soon
as they are informed that suitable re-
gions have been secured. No negroes
except those who are qualified to do
good and skillful work will be permit
ted to emigrate to the proposed settle
ments. The information obtained by
the agents in Liberia will be circulated
among all the members of the African
league, as the emigration company is
called, so that at all stages of progress
everyone interested may know just
what is being done to start them off
successfully and just what conditions
they will meet in the new country.
Liberians are very DESTROYS to en-
courage immigration from America.
There is no doubt of the large agricul-
tural resources of the country and of
the fact that American negroes can
make comfortable homes there, but
the conditions in the republic are diff
ferent from those in this country; a
great deal of the emigration thus far
has been haphazard and badly planned
and on the whole the various coloniz.
ing enterprises have not been very sue.
cessful. It remains to be seen what
measure of success will be attained by
this better organized and apparently
well-planned movement to provide
suitable opportunities to a large mum.

 The new cottage of twenty rooms at Bright Angel is nearly finished and will be made ready for guests as soon as possible. A carload of new furniture has arrived to be placed in it. The rooms are com fortable and pleasant. A good-sized veranda extends the entire length and across one end, making a fine place to promenade.
 It took three men, two Indians, a rife and a dog to kill one little innocent squirrel one day last week. Many shots were fired up in the tree, the men shouted, the dog parked, but all failed to move the frightened animal. At last a stick was thrown at it, which knocked the squirrel to the ground. As it started to run away the dog caught it and soon shook its life away There was commotion enough around that tree for a time for an to have been the game all were after.

Two years ago a young couple passed through Bellemont on their way from Chicago. Since crossing the line from New Mexico the earliest inhabitant has told them so many wonderful stories that they had be- come skeptical of all said in describ- ing the country. So when some one remarked as the train pulled through Bellemont, that there was the place where railroad ties were Pickled, the young couple was confident they were again the victims of some joke.
 If they had investigated. how ever, they would have found that they do pickle ties at Bellemont- There, since the institution of the plant in the fall of 1897, has grown up an industry which employs forty-five men constantly and which handles 112, 900 feet of lumber every twenty-fOur hours
 The most conspicuous part of the plant are the two cylinders These cylinders are each one hundred and six feet long with a diameter of six feet In these cylinders the process begins Into each is run a train of thirteen small cars, each car carrying thirty-eight railroad ties (9xSxS)- A vacuum is then formed in the cylinders and afterwards steam is forced in from a battery of boilers generating 240 horse power until a pressure of 20 pounds to the square inch is reach ed. This stea ming lasts five hours and drives out all of the sap from the pores of the ties
 At the end of the five hours the steam is drawn of and another vacuum is made. A solution of chloride of zinc is then forced in under a 100 pounds pressure
 This completes the present pro- cess of "pickling" as employed at Bellemont. However, on occasion, a creosote solution IS used instead of the zinc chloride, but creosote is too expensive for general use. Chloride of zinc, as we'll as creosote, is a powerful preservative- The one hundred pounds of pressure un- der which it is placed in the cylind CTS forces it into the pores of the ties where it is absorbed, from four to five tenths pounds being absorbed per cubic foot of timber
 The chloride of zinc absorbed by | the ties protects them from decay and the attack of wood destroying | clements. When the pickler was first installed a solution of tannin | was used as an additional protection to the timbers, while glue was used to seal the pores These two agents have latterly been found unnecess-

Bugle Used Over Century Ago.
the old horn had suffered from neg
lect and it became corroded and the
mouthpiece was lost. Recently Mr..
Rodgers purchased the bugle from
Mr.. Shaw.
The old instrument is a UNIQUE af-
fair and similar one is probably not
in existence. It is twenty-three inches
in length, not allowing for the convo-
lutions, and the flare is about seven
teen inches in diameter. It is made
of copper and is very heavy. The
trumpet is pierced by a number of
circular openings the size of 25-cent
piece for the purpose of producing
the necessary notes. These openings
are covered with ornamental metal
shells, attached to copper strips, two
inches in length, on hinges. The
shells were manipulated by the per-
former when sounding calls, and it
must indeed have required a person
Of nimble fingers and stout lungs to
produce music from the. ancient and
unwieldy instrument.

Lawson was born March IL, 1851;
died July 4, 1S45. He was a bugler
under Gen. Washington and, accord

number OF important engagements in
the North. He came to Nelson county
from Pennsylvania shortly after the
close Of the Revolutionary war and
bought q farm. He was a bachelor
owning a number of slaves. Aside
from these he lived alone. Just be-

to Charles Lee, faithful and favorite
slave. Later it passed into the pos

brother. Subsequently it fell into the
hands of Philip Shaw, colored black
smith at Bloomfield. In the meantime
