THE SLEEPING CAR DASH.
An Incident of the Early Morning Fem
 mine Rush.


 From the Washington Post
 Did you ever notice" inquired com mercial traveller, now the women in sleeping car seem to sleep with one eye open all night in order to be the first to reach the womens dressing room at day light in the morning? And how one of 'em generally makes about four strides of it to the womens dressing room and bangs the door thereof in the faces of all the other women, who quickly tag after her, and then proceeds to spend about an hour and fifteen minutes in doing up her hair and primping generally, while the other women stand outside the door think ing things of their sex that are just a sin and shame. and even sometimes banging on the locked door with their cunnin lit- tie hands?
 Well. I saw or. more properly. heard-a dead new one in a sleeping car the other day. It was on a trip from New York to Chicago. and the train was due in Chi cago at about o'clock in the morning. There were five swagger show girls of an extravaganza company moving from New York to Chicago in the sleeping car in which ] had a section. Two Of them occupied the berths in the section next to mine.
 'At exactly 5:30 o'clock in the morning. when the train was still two and a half hours from Chicago. I was awakened by the tremendous buzzing of bell that didn't sound much like the Chimes of Normandy to me, for I was pounding my ear good and plenty. and was tearing off gobs of slumber by the pailful. What dye suppose the bell was? Oh. just a plain, s9-cent alarm clock of the common or garden variety. The chorus girl in the lower berth In the section next to mine had set the thing at that unearthly hour SOS to be dead certain of getting first whack at the womens dressing room in the morning; and by the time the new

gag stopped Its internal chatter every man in the car had his head poked out between his curtains. Then the show girl, in long kimona, with her sun locks hanging down her back, and lot of makeup gear tightly clutched to her bosom, appeared in the aisle making for the women's dressing room. Worse than that, she gave her awakened sisters of the chorus the hoarse boot she sped down the aisle.
 It's q cold, moist morning. she re- marked to them as she made for the makeup compartment when little Bertha gets 1t where Tecumseh wore the elks' teeth and then she banged and locked the dressing room door, and just maybe she alone wasn't worth the price of ticket when she reappeared about an hour and forty minutes laterr'

substituting these golf-tea parties for the usual visits to the playhouses.
 
 Joseph H. Choate, Jr., will give his bachelor dinner here on Tuesday night. His guests will include George B. de Ger His guests will include George B. de Gers dorff, his cousin; Eliot Tuckerman, Bay ard Cutting, Frederick Swift Francis Kinnicutt, J. Palmer Welch, William Woodward and R. Monroe Ferguson of New York Malcolm Donald and N. Pen- rose Hallowell of Boston and Harry Bowditch of Albany. These are to be his best man and ushers at his wedding with Miss Cora Lyman Oliver next Saturday On Wednesday MT. Choate will meet his father the ambassador, who comes over for the wedding. MT. Choate and his bride are to sail for England on Tuesday, June IS. They propose to pass the first days of their married life in automobil- ing. They will return from England in September and are to reside at 15S East Seventy-first street Though large num- Der of cards have been issued for the wedding in St. Peters church, Albany, few have been invited to the residence of Gen. and Mrs. Robert Shaw Oliver, the brides parents.
 Among the guests of MT. and Mrs. Theodore Frelinghuysen are MT. and Mrs. George Bird, Jr., and the latter's daughter, Miss Betty Metcalf. who will go tomorrow to Albany to attend Miss Ruth Pruyn at her wedding, on Tuesday. with David M. Goodrich of Boston. She is the fance of the brides brother, Rob- ert D. Pruyn, and will be married in the autumn. Meanwhile, with Mir. and Mrs. Bird she will visit MT. and Mrs. w. Sew and Webb at Shelburne, Vt, and then will go to their seashore place at Dark Har- bor, Isleboro, Me.
 The sale of MT. James H. Hyde's Lib- erty coach horses at Durland's last week was the knell of the sport so far as this season is concerned. Before another week coaching about New York will be virtu- ally at an end until next autumn. The Good Times was taken over to Philadel- phia for horse show week there, and on Saturday the Pioneer will probably make its last run for this spring, at least, of course, some determined lovers of coach- ing insist upon charterng 1t for extra trips. After the second week in June 1t Is scarcely probable that enough people who have leisure to indulge in coaching will remain in town to make 1t worth while for any of the other coaches to run. Of course, the men who go in for public road coaching do not expect to make money. and 1t is probable that some of them have lost more than a trihe on the venture But the pleasure of tooling a well-equipped coach is worth all the expense involved and thus far no one has been heard to grumble.
 
 James Henry Smith has again taken Anthony J. Drexeis steam yacht Marga- rita for a two months cruise along the coast of Norway. Among those he has invited are Mir and Mrs. Oliver Hartman who are to arrive in England on Tues day.

residence in this city, and we take this opportunity, this being the first meet ing of the directors since his death, to express in slight degree our sympa- thy with those who hold the relation of wife and son to him, and our regret that he is separated from us. MT. Totham first became connected , with this company about thirty years ago, coming to us a stranger in a strange land, accepting position at the bench, from which he rose steadily from one position to another, occupying at different times the position of fore man, contractor assistant superintend- ent superintendent and his lost posi- tiOn of travelling salesman of the conl- pany.
 MT. Totham was a man ofacommand- ing personal appearance, of wide eX- perience in the matters of our busi- ness, of quick perception and sound Judgment. In all the different posi- tiOns he has held with the company he enjoyed the respect and confidence of the officers to the fullest degree, filling all of these positions with rare ability, and at the same time making and re- taining host of friends.
 We shall miss him as an employe, as a friend and as man; and shall re- member him for his strong character, his business ability and his genial dis position.
 We hereby express our deepest sym pathy with those who stood in close re- lation with him. and condole with them in their great bereavement. Resolved, That these resolutions be- come a part of the record of this cor poration. and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased. "CHARLES H. DOWNS. ] 'Secretary."

Miss Birdie AarOns Meets Death
in Peculiar Manner

New oYrk, July 31-NIiss Birdie Aarcns
has met death in a peculiar manner,
near her home. She had called on girl
friend and the two were standing on the
stoop Of The Lexington avenue house
when a portion of the brownstone cop
ing above them fell and struck Miss
Aarons to the ground. Her skull was
crushed and she died Immediately. In
vestigation showed that a bolt of light
ming had struck the stoop, in the heavy
storm which had Just passed. The
shock had fractured the heavy stone and
left it hanging by only a small, unbro-
ken part.
The lightning was extremely severe
over the entire city and many strange
accidents We're reported. In Jersey City,
a bicycle ridden by a policeman was
twisted into a shapeless mass. The rider
was unhurt by the bolt and sustained
only a few scratches from falling from
the wrecked machine.
