New Sleeping Car Service on The kdiy'
AT Half Rates.

Commencing at once, the popular
Nj. K. d T Ry. is inaugurating a
line OF Worlds Fair excursion sleep
ing cars which will be operated on
The Katy Fair Special" from
points In Texas to St. Louis, 1t
was the intention of The Katy" to
establish this service with the open
ny Of the Fair, bat the Pullman
Company were unable to finish and
deliver these sleepers which are
modern In every respect until now.
These sleeping cars are especially
designed for hot weather s4rv ice =.
Instead Of the hot, dust absorbing
plu sh seats, these cars are uphols-
tered with cane, and are otherwise
equal to the standard sleeping cars.
The linens and other service, are
equal TO the standard sleepers, but
the great feature Is that the sleep
ing car rates will only be about one
half the present charges.
This addition To the excellent ser
vice offered by The Katy" will no
doubt prove very popular with tie
travelling public, and will give many
an opportunity of taking sleeping
car accommodations that would
otherwise have been compelled to
travel In chair cars or in coaches.
Reservations for space can be Sc

Curious Instructions as to the manner
OF her burying were left behind by an
old lady at Stockport, England. Her
funeral, she directed, should be at
tended by six of the best horsed coaches
Stockport could provide, and another
direction was that after the interment
the funeral party should repair to the
best Tory hosiery in Oldham, there to
be served with the best repast the
house could afford, which was to be
supplied by a Tory landlord and served
by Tory walters.

In consequence
Though inclined to the melodramatic
IN its c1imaxes. the play is relieved by
the amusing representation of Hal
