When the CARRIAGE Moved.

The treaty episode at the BelaSco
theatre, Washington, when the Presi-
dents coaehman had difficulty with
the manager because he would not
move his carriage, although nobody
was in the carriage, and it was waiting
for some White House guests, re-
minded an old police sergeant Of
time when he was stationed at the
Baltimore 6 Ohio station in that city,
according to the New York World
Among his other duties he had to
keep carriages from standing at the
curb directly in front of the station
entrance, it being necessary to keep
that place clear for carriages that
were coming and going at that point
President Grant drove to the station
to meet one of the incoming trains
While the officer was in another place
the carriage stopped in front of the
station. When the officer returned he
noticed the Presidents rig standing
there and waited for it to move along
When IL did not move and no one
alishted the officer supposed that tbs
President had gone into the station
You know as we'll as l do that you
cannot stand there said the officer to
the Presidents coachman.

is?" was the only answer of the man

That makes no difference. You
must move" But there was no move
on the part of the coachman to stir
from the place.

showing determination and the chin
being well nodded. Above medium
height, with dignified carriage, Miss
Tarbell is figure to attract attention
in any assemblage.
Few people possess greater powers
of discrimination and clearer grasp,
1t is said, than does Miss Tarbell.
She believes in specializing, and has
concentrated her efforts in literary
work along historical lines. In this
sort of thing she has proved herself
an expert.
Miss Tarbell is native of Penn
sylvania. She was born in the oil
regions, and was, so to speak,
soaked in OIL" so that when the
time came to write on the timely sub
ject of the history of oil production
manipulation, she had lifelong ex-
perience to draw from and unique
sources of information. A foreign
education has helped in giving the
indefinable touch of culture to a
strong, womanly personality, and
Miss Tarbell stands to-day in the
front rank of the great host of Amer
lean women writer's.

useful for remodeling as well as for

the waist is made of chiffon

being both effective and practical.

New Type of Railroad Car.

The tendency in the construction
of modern railroad equipment is to
design cars which are absolutely fire
proof. Statistics prove that more
lives are lost in the fires which in
evitably follow serious wrecks on the
road than are actually caused by the
collision. Railroads in every part OF
the United States are at present ex.
perimenting with passenger coaches
of f1reproof construction, and are
building no more of the old wooden
type The majority of these new fire.
proof cars have been of steel con-
struction throughout, with the ex-
ception, of course, of the seats. II
has been found that this is the ideal
material. The one disadvantage is
in the fact that this type of car re-
tains heat to a great extent, and the
problem has narrowed down to sue
cessful method of ventilation. One
of the most recent devices for over
coming this fault is shown in the car
here illustrated. This car is covered
with removable hood, which is sup.
ported over the car, a space inter
vening between the hood and the tor
and sides of the car. This is claimed
to afford efficient means for keeping
