New Smoking Cars.

The Santa Fe has made another i'm,
provement In Its train equipment
This time 1t is in its smoking cars
The Pullman company has delivered
the thirty carr recently ordered. They
are now in daily service. The trains
In which and the points between
which they run are: Trains Nos.
and 2 between Chicago and Los An
geles; trains Nos. Z and s between
Chicago and Los Angeles; trains Nos
5 and s between Chicago and Denver;
trains Nos. 8 and 10 between Chicago
and albuquerque. These cars are
seventy feet long. have large plate
glass windows, high back rattan
seats. and are extra strong. They are
vestibuled and equipped with Pintscf
gas, and closely resemble the latest
style day coaches and chair al
Eighty-f0ur passengers can be carried
in one of these cars, and each per
son can have a seat. With the cars
Santa Fe trains will be the handsom
est and most modernly equipped II
the country.

70 Extend Block System.

It is expected that this summer
the Santa Fe and Salt Laqe roads
will extend the block system all the
way from San B~ernardIno to Bars.
tow Of Daggett, on the joint track
used by the two roads. The block
system Ii already In use between the
yard limits and Highland junction,
but the matter OF extending It "over
the hill Is said to be but q matter
Of a short time.
The need Of q block system on this
stretch Of track Is almost imperative,
owing to the great number of trains
daily operated over It, and the haz
ardous nature Of the work Of hand
ling them.
In this connection officials are also
seriously considering the advisability
Of double tracking the line over the
Cajon. While this has not been de-
termined upon, still it, desirability Il
recognized. Il Ii possible that . move
Ia that direction will be made In the
not far distant future. A double track
would still further simplify matters
In the handling OF trains and also IL
lessening the danger.

third years old. On this OCCASION
Mrs. Whitfield was sixty Eight and
Mr.. Whitfield was seventy-two and
one-third years old. Nearly all of
these years were spent in this com
munity. There were present: Mrs.
Kate W. Butler, their first born,
named Kate for her two grand mothers,
and Mrs. Buffers children, Mrs. Sallie
Turley. who also was named Sallie
for her two grand d-mothers; her hus-
band, Mr.. T. II. Turley and their son,
Arthur; Miss Mamie B. Butler, q

ing agent at Sunfower City, on tie

in Sunfower county; Mrs Lizzie
Lancaster, wife Of a prominent mer-
chant at Sunfower City; Charles But
Ter, handsome young man who few
days ago reached the age Of man s
estate, and Miss Katie Butler. just
budding into womanhood. There were
also present E. W. Whitfield, their
second child born during the exciting
times of the inter state war, on July
10, 1868, and his wife, Mrs. Shelby
Whitfield, grand-niece of that ster-
ling old soldier, Gen. G. B.. HumL h.

to mention all thu: different guests.
The various presents bore will
them the love, affection. and congrat
ulations of the donors The dinner
as prepared by the cook, Rosa Wash
ington, colored, under the dire ctionl
of Mrs. Turley,. who looks after the
housekeeping for her grandmother
was superb. Rosa, the cook, was borr
on Mr.. Whitfeld's place in the country
and has lived all her life with this
aged couple.
A most unusual circumstance wat
the fact that since the surrender they
never had but two cooks during all
these years. The one Elzira Patton,
colored, recently deceased, served them
about thirty consecutive years or more,
and their present cook, Rosa, grand.
daughter of Aunt Elzira, has served
them since that time to the present.
Fortunate couple, fortunate cooks.
Another unusual circumstance is
the fact that during these fifty years
Mrs. Whitfele, though blessed with
an abundance Of milk and butter in
her own home, never once churned,
and Mr.. Whitfield, though an abun-
dant liver at home, never made fire
in their cooking stove.
Before partaking of dinner, the
aged man offered thanks to God not
only for the food then ready, but for
all the blessings that God had be-
slowed upon them, especially for
those during the past fifty years and
invoked Gods blessings not only up
on all persons present, but especially
upon the absent ones, and prayed that
if they were never permitted to meet
again on this earth, that they all
might meet in the land of rest that
remains to the people of God.
