LIFE IN THE PALACE OF A

That Abdul Hamid had a costly es-

pressed upon those who were ever
granted the privilege of visiting the
palace. The London Standard declares
that loafers abounjed The imperial
kitchens for instance, employ some 24O

they prepare about 1000 tables" or

Three hundred attendants bearing the

RIO GRANDE TRAINS
INTO OGDEN.

C. H. Scblacks, vice president OF
the Denver C Rio Grande. who was
here last Wednesday. stated that the
train service over his road, between
Ogden and Salt Lake, would not be
decreased with the opening OF the
Western Pacific. He holds TO the idea
that. II anything. there will be an In
crease in the number OF trains. as
connections will continue to be made
with the Southern Pacific at this point,
and eastbound Western Pacific pas
sengers will be afforded connections
with the Union Pacific eastbound
trains.
Mr.. Schlacks admitted that Rio
Grande and Western Pacific trains
in and out of Salt Lake City will be
operated as through trains, except
such as are local trains.
He declined to discuss the possibil-
ity of a Rio Grande extension north
from here into Idaho, though he ad-
mitted the need of getting In close
touch with that irrigated empire
where thousands are establishing new
homes.
The building of new freight depot
on Twenty-fourth street is now In its
initial stage. The plans are being
prepared and Mr.. Schlacks announces
that work should start soon, but he
did not attempt to fix any date on
which the improvements are to be
started.
The vice president, in his affable
manner. said ogden would continue
to receive the attention of his road.
as he looked upon this city and Its
tributary country as most desirable
railroad territory.

In dress and jewelry the ladies of the

which no curb Is placed SO long as
money can be obtained by hook or

Their indoor dress has been of late
years generally European. and Paris
supplies many smart gown for them.
In jewelry their taste runs rather to-

large diamonds and rubies, emeralds
and sapphires, earrings OF weight and

caps for the head, thickly covered with
gems. Their native dresses. too, are
frequently stiff with embroidery of
precious stones.
