Steel Coaches on Omaha

The Omaha Road has added anoth-
er feature to it's "Safety System" in
providing all-steel coaches and smok-
ing cars. for passenger trains. At
present these new cars are in service
in the Badger State Express between
Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Chicago,
but all through trains are being
equipped with steel coaches as rap.
idly rs they are received from the
car builders.
The cars throughout are construct
ed of steel, and are made not only
fireproof but huge beam runs from
one end to the other under the car,
so that they are built in a large
measure to stand the strain OF
collisions without telescop;ng. The
floor of tine car is of concrete and
the sides, roof and ends of steel, and
even the framework of the seats is
made of steel, so there is scarcely
any wood in the entire car.
The inauguration of steel coaches
again demonstrates the progressive
ness of the Omaha Road in the
adoption of the ne west ideas for the
safety and comfort of It's patrons.

City Council Votes to put a
ban on Sunday Business.
Aimed First at Saloons but
Will now Effect all Busi-
ness Places.

At the meeting of the common
council held at the Office of the
city clerk last Tuesday evening
petition was presented, signed
by over eighty residents, asking
that the council go on record as
favoring an enforcement of the
Sunday closing law in regard to
saloons. The reading of the
petition brought forth consider
able discussion on the subject
and some warm arguments were
indulged in. While there was
those that favored just the clos
ing of the saloons on the Sabbath,
others thought that all places
should be served alike, and here
is where the hitch came. A mo-
tion was finally introduced by
Alderman Bell instructing the
Chief of Police to enforce the
Sunday Closing law pertaining
to the closing of business and
this was passed, all mbers
with the exception of Alderm en-
Estabrook and Thompson voting
in the affirmative. These two
aldermen did not vote either
way. So that from the way the
situation now stands the chief is
instructed to close all places OF
business. The passing of the
above motion has brought forth
considerable of a feeling from
those that were in favor Of letting
things go along as they have
been and considerable pressure
will undoubtedly, be brought to
bear upon the council mem bers
to have them recind their action.

Escaping Identity.
From the London Nation.


The question is. which may be the
cIeanliest manner of escaping, not from
existence (for that is a matter of bare
bodkin and pail Of water). but from
identity, which is complicated conce-n?
II is evident that the desire for escape
is almost universal among mankind. Con-
slider the delight in masks and dressing
up, the fetish dances. the fancy dress
balls-all equally pleasurabie to savag"s
and society. Consider the JOY OF all men
and women in giving themselves another
face to the one God gave them-the JOY
in painting and falls hair, I'm shaving, in
tabeaux, charades and theatricals.
Solemn moralists may cali us self
centured self-satisfied, Self-conce.ted, but
they do not go 10 Covent Garden; they
have never seen "A puny shred of human
flesh so little self-satisted that il posed
as Achilles. or disguised the lamen able
reality under the Similitude of Neptune
with his trident. \ dog does not ape tho
the lion unless man clips him; cat
never questions her own sufficiency: =
rat dips his tail in oils only to lick 1t.
Man alone of animals is plagued with
humility: he alone distrusts his value
and longs to escape the trammels of him

ideal parSon was slender. His complex

the mellow days of October the Interests

The worked slippers became so abundant
that one popular and interesting pastor
felt obliged TO remind the ladies that ms

From Harpet's Bazaar.
Shakers are noted for their kindness to
animals They never abuse or speak a
harsh word to their horses, which always
look sleek: while even the very chickens
are so clearly housed, and SO we'll fed
that their white feathers are always a
degree more snowy than other fowls and
their yellow feet almost appear to have
been polished.
The Shakers are largely vegetarians.
subsisting chiefly upon cereals and fruit:
in fact, they live very close TO nature
and their whole life is we'll worthy Of
respectful attention and emulation. AS
regards their religion. they are spiritual
lists. but have no creed, aud generally do
not believe in the divinity OF Christ.
They reject the doctrine OF future pun
ishment. their real belief conforming
somewhat, perhaps, to the Swedenborgian
theory Of life hereafter.
The music Of their hymns flor they are
very musicaD Is strangely sweet and wild
in composition, though the words are
often crude. coming as they do an

or sister, regardless of genius.
