The Texas Midland Railroad en-
joys the distinction Of possessing The
most luxuriously equipped day traius
west OF the Mississippi. and probably
with few equals Ia any section Of The
country. The principal trains, con-
sIsting Of mail, baggage and express
cars, day coaches, reclining chair cars
and cafe cars, are striking models OF
the car builders art and are exceed
ingly we'll arranged and decorated.
The full trains bar monize 10 color and
finishing from end 70 end, each plat
form being completely covered with
rubber mats and we'll lighted, f0rm-
Ing an avenue the full length Of The

with rich cathedral glass ventilators
and heavy plate glass windows. The
reclining chairs and seats are up
holstered 10 velvet plush and the
smoking compartments and toilet
rooms are equipped with leather
covered high back seats. The inside
finishing is in flemished oak, with full
width french bevel mirrors ateeach
and the floors are covered with Will

0 L UNIQUE RECORD.
Montreal Prisoner Recently Received
His Fiftieth Iail Sentence.


Francis Tierney, laborer, As years
of age, was sentenced recently by
Judge Lafontaine to serve two terms
in jail, six months for the theft of a
stone and six months for the theft
of a piece OF pig iron, says the Mon
treal Gazette. Francis T%ierney has
been inside the walls of the Montreal
jail before and the two sentences
imposed on him mark his f%orty-ninth
and iftieth sentences, or, as the court
official said, his golden jubilee" in
prison. Tierney has served 20 years
for drunkenness, nine for assault,
eight for theft, four for yagrancy,
three for disorderly conduct, one for
refusing to pay his carter, one for OBJ
structing a constable in the perform
ance of his duty, and one for lOiter-
ing. He received his first sentence
October 10, 1876, and he has served
a term every year since then with the
exceptions of the years 1878, 1880,
1884, 1885 and 1888. His terms have
all been short, ranging from eight
days to six months. At present he
holds the prison record for the num-
Der of terms served, and at his rate of
going is likely to put it at a mark
that will seldom, if ever, be reached
again. He has never been sent to
the penitentiarv.

Revolution in Seryia.

A military revolution in Servia on
June IL, resulted in the assassination
OF all the inhabitants OF the royal
palace by a regiment of infantry.
The list of Slain IS as follows:
King Alexander of Servia.
Queen Draga of Servia.
The Queens sister.
The Queens brother, Nikodem.
Premier MaIkovitch.
Minister Petrovitch.
Minister T%udorovics.
General Pavlovitch.
Members OF Royal Guard.
Two months ago the King suspend
ed the constitution and was ruling as
an absolution monarch. The people
seem to be IN sympathy with the rev.
olution and give every evidence OF
satisfaction with the overthrow and
extinction of the dyna sty. The new
dynasty is in close sympathy with
Russia, and for this reason there may
be interference in the part of the
European powers.

Romantic Career Of Lord strathcOna.

Romantic Career Of Lord S%trathcOna.
The life of the Scotch boy, Donald
Smith-now Baroo Strathcona and
Mount Royal-would read more like
romance if 1t were o so studded with
improbabilitIes. People like their
romances to be possible; it is only
from reality that will be endured the
touches of extravagance which turn
standard fiction into fairy tales.
Young Donald Smith, dreaming IN
his Scotch village of the string ad-
ventures of a fur-trading uncle in the
wilds of North America, and afterward
becoming a fur-trader himself, first as
a clerk of the Hudson Bay Company
in the bleakest corner of its vast terri
tory, "pitlless Labrador" then climb
ing, after years OF hardship and idei-
ity, to be a chief factor Of the Com,
pany and resident Governor in Amer
lea, and finally, in his old age, Cover
nor Of the home company in London,
High Commissioner from Canada, and
a peer of the realm-that is romance.

dustry," in the June Cosmopolitan.

VIVID SLANG OF THE DAY.
One of the Most Interesting Features
of City Street Life.

One Of the most interesting fea-
lures of our street life, says the Roch-
ester Post-Express, is the shifting
and changing Of the dialect which is
spoken by the arabs of the pavements.
Occasionally a word or two of their
picturesque slang rises far enough
above the surface to be incorporated
in the vocabulary of the day, and
achieves wide usage. ThewOrd rub
ber," used in its verbal sense, is an
example. Vulgar, all will admit, but
tremendously expressive. Try hard to
think Of a word, or even a collection
of words, which will convey as bril-
liantly what rubber" paints in one
bold dash. Yet Its birthplacew was the
stamping ground of the newsboys,
which is as prolific a breeding place
for slang as the New Jersey marshes
for mosquitoes. The majority Of
these ephemeral phrases are obscure
in their origin. Probably the tongues
which use them the most would be at
a loss to explain how they came to
mean what they do. The comprehen-
siye figures whose quality attracts the
humor Of the crowd are the ones
which acquire the general usage. The
rest change and pass away almost
from week to week. Various locali-
ties possess their peculiar iargon, and
a newsboy Of Rochester would ex-
perience difficulty in understanding
the ph~raseology Of his contemporary
in indianapolis, although, like this
tledown, many quaint phrases travel
on the wings of the wind from San
Francisco to New York and, taking
root, sprout and grow in the alien
soil along the way.

Passing Of the "PuIl."

James B. Dill in an address before
the Graduating class of Minnesota
University said:
"Wideawake corporation managers
know the evils of having too many
son and o many sons-ln-law in their
employ. For that eason they dis.
criminate against official relatives, in
favor of men without means, unen-
numbered by influence, who have their
own way to make. From motives OF
self-interest alone, no corporation can
recognize the pull basis of making
appointments"

your consideration the needs Of

The Great C~OnsummatiOn.

Miss Tarbell's Standard Oil Paper 10
McClure's.
Miss Tarbell has called the eighth
chapter of her Standard OIL History,
which appears in the June McC'ure's.
"The Great Contamination" 1t is a
splendid piece OF crowded narrative {;
the best yet, one is tempted to say.
Briefly, wildly, and tersely it relates
the collapse OF the last united stand of
the independents against the Standard
in the ill.advlsed attempt of 1879 to
bring Mr.. Rockefeller and his colleagues
to trial for conspiracy, and ends with
an account of the uprising Of the
collosal fabric of the first great modern
trust, The chapter is a brilliant ex-
ample of the best kind of popular
history.

his =.
He belongs ia that Distinguishing
group nat may be called the Ser
ators OF Old Republic. 1t may come
again, but it is not now. There are
only a few of these Senators, less than
a dozen. The amazing growth of
finance and commerce and manufac-
ture, the development of those lusty
beggars, "the interest, " the rise of
bosses and machines, have charged the
character of the Senate. They have
filed it with keen eyed, nimble witted
persons, who are tolerant of and IN
sympathy with what we may for the
moment permit them to call ''moderu
methods" They define compromise
with corruption and crime as estates
manship," They deplore all evil, but
they beg tolerance for it lest onslaught
upon it shake the foundations of pros
periry or party.
Among these notwithstanding
statesmen sit a few that are in quaint
contrast. The most of them are old
fashioned old-time Southerners. They
wear a countrlfied air. They dress IN
a style of the long ago and most of
them have ''hack-numbered boards"
OF one kind and another. Also
they have shack .number'' con-
victions. Regardless of the grins
Of the smart fellows trieked out IN the
newest styles of moral tailoring, they
dauntlessly profess such antiquities of
principal as in%dividualism, no privi-
ledsr, government favors to none,
economy in public expenditures, prln-
cipal before pocketbook. They ven.
ture to persist IN belle wing thst there
are matters more important, ambitions
more lofty, than getting rich quicken
any other way. With their ancient
dress and ancient faces, their lack OF
private fortunes, their modest way OF
living and their contempt OF gain, they
suggest Cato and his little band that
rose like bare, f%orbidding rocks in and
against the swollen, splendid tide of
the decaying Roman Republics pro-
digality. They suggest this-but his
%torical parallels are dangerous.
