Three pert and pretty Ohio girls are

having got the advantage of sleeping
car conductor. Three girls were in
Pittsburg as delegates to convention
AT the close of the convention they
started omeward-somewher in the
direction of Toledo All of them wanted
q berth on the train, but much to their
disappointment, upon their arrival at
the Union station they were told that
only one unoccupied berth remained.
Gould we take it," asked the one in
brown, looking singularly innocent as
she circled her arm toward her compan-
ions to explain what she meant by we"
The sleeping car company has a frigid
demeanor. But the unusual request of
the girl delegates and their pleasing
smiles caused the austere official behind
the bars to actually smile. But of course
he could not do it. The girls, much de-
jected, trooped off.
Soon they were back. Gould this
one" said the first speaker, remain up

TO BUILD PALACE ON WHEELS.
nihcent Hotel Service Between
New York and san Francisco.

The Harris Palatial Car company has
been organized under the laws Of the
state Of New Jersey with n capital OF
81 900 600 for the purpose OF operating
train Of five rolling palaces between
New York and San Francisco, with so
many improvements and conveniences
that a Fifth Avenue hotel patron will
not know he is out of New York II he
doesn't lok out of the windows.
This flve-Car train the company pur-
poses to build will be known as the
Waldorf-AstOria de luxe train. Its pa
irons will be kept exclusive by the fact
that the passengers will be booked from
one Of the best hotels In each city
through which 1t passes. The train VIII
have eWrythlng from palm gardens to
a laundry, and nothing a patron Of a
swell hotel can get by pushing a but

To make II unique arrangements have
been made with the railroad lines over
which the train Is to pass TO have 1t
complete It's trip across the continent
and back in ten days so the train will
leave with its passengers every tenth
day
The idea Is the outgrowth Of the de-
funct Harris Palatial Car company In

ownership OF stock in 1889.

USES BIBLE AGAINST TRUSTS.
Ex-senator Hill, of New York, In Adj
dress Declares Scripture Does Not
Sanction Modern COrpOrntions.

Former Senator David b. Hill, Of New
York. addressing gathering at the
Rockland county fair in New city
the other day, said regarding combina-
tons: II do not find anything in Holy
Writ which contemplates the accumula-
ton Of wealth through the instrumental
ity Of gigantic corporate trusts designed
for the prevention Of legitimate COMPETE
ton in trade or the creation of monopoly
In business, or anything that authorizes
the watering OF any stock except live
stock upon our farms, or anything that
iustihes the enrichment Of mer except
through the od-fashioned and Scriptural
method of earning that which they shall
possess
THE tremendous combinations Of cap
ital which have been formed in recent
years, whereby the cost Of living has
been unduly advanced, the multitude OF
schemes which have been devised to
control the channels and avenues OF
trade, the unreasonable restrictions
which have been imposed by statute upon
our commercial freedom In the pecuniary
interest OF those who ostentatiously
style themselves the captains Of industry
are largely the modern creations of able
and designing men intent upon vast and
unearned riches and are neither sane
toned by Scriptural injunctions nor
can they be justified by honest and un-
selfish public policy"

NEW SPEED RECORD BY RAIL.
Passenger Train Makes the Phcnom-
email Run OF 12s Miles In
12S Minutes

One hundred and twenty-eight miles
in 125 minutes. This is the new world S
record for long distance running made
by passenger train on the Baltimore &
Ohio road the other day.
The distance traversed is between
Chicago Junction, Ohio, and Garrett.
Ind. At one place on the run a speed
Of 90 miles an hour was reached. This
was the maximum. Bursts of speed at
the rate Of 70 or rs miles an hour were
frequent. No stops were made.
The train was made up of five cars, and
pulled by engine AGO in charge Of En-
gineer William Dunton.
This engine is of the new Atlantic
type. weighing 1T, 900 pounds. 1t is the
most powerful style in service on the
Baltimore & 90. An extra large wa
ter tank helped in this remarkable per-
Torrance, saving stops for water.
From Garrett into Chicago another
engine Of the same make took the train.
On this run a speed of 76 miles an hour
was reached. The performance be-
tween Chicago Junction and Garrett
could have been duplicated had the
train not been blocked by train ahead
to which it was running as a second sec
ton. This necessitated slowing down
several times
The distance of 131 miles between Gar
rett and South Chicago was, however
covered In 1873 minutes, making the
whole run of 259 miles in 27S minutes
This record is in itself phenomenal
