Railroading in Florida-
• Talking abeut
know what they do in Florida when
au accident, involving derailment,
happens T asks the New York Press.
Mrs. Thomas C. Platt tells an amus
ing story Os her trip .o Leesburg in
her husband’s private car. He would
not accompany her, owing to campaign
business, hence she was considerably
put out when her train was stopped by
an overturned freight engine, about 1
twenty miles from nowhere On the 1
Leesburg, Orange City and Atlantic
Road.
Men pried for hours with fence rails
and crossties, but the thing refused to
budge. Telegrams were sent to the
general office for a wrecking car, and
while waiting for it some bright fellow
said : "What’s the matter with moving
the track!” Why, nothing, of course.
The track was laid on the sand and
could foe moved readily with band*
sticks.
Mrs. Platt sat in her car aud saw the
operation, which did net require more
than half an hour. Then she weuton
to Leesburg. It is now a common
practice in Florida to shove the tracks
to one side or the other when the line
isblocbed. 2 ’ 1

A Cuban Who “Caught On.”
A soldier who eutered Santiago with
Gen. Shafter tells this story in the
New Orleans Times Democrat. "A few
days after the place was surrendered I
went into a small shop to get sems
tob&sco. The proptietor was a fat lit
tle chap, all bows and smiles
” “ ‘Got any baccy ?’ I asked.
“ ‘Si, eenor,’ be said. ‘Yes, sare; ver*
fine tobac. Hot titre in *e ol’ town
tonight, senor.’
"I took a paper of fine cut and the
fat rascal charged me $1 When I
made a modest kick at such highway
robbery he humped up bis shoulders,
and spread out his bands.

GMT. BUTLER GIVES WABtING.
He Says Gomez is Preparing to Fight
the Americans-
Nzw Yom, Oct. 26 —a dispatch to
The Herald from Havana says:
Genersl Buller baa written to Secre
tary Alger indorsing a mouified form
of the military plan of pricing the
island recently advanced by Colonel
Waring Gyqoral Buller would ? give
remploy|»>«bt to tyij-or fifteen thousand
MlißitlV?' fie* Affeld fellow in a
general way the system originated in
Mexico by President Dias.
" Gen. Butler, in giving the plan,
warns Secretary Alger that unless
some show of strength is speedily
made the United States will surely
have to fight the insurgents, who will
become bandits.
Hugh Thomason, an American who
was a lieutenant in the Cuban army
under Jose MigtfM Gomez, baa arrived
from Tunas, He is one of the three
survivors of the Johnston expedition,
which landed at Sen Juan river July
1. Hd WjVh that Gomez is weeding out
of hrsktrfey all American sympathii-'

retaining only violent advocates of in
dependence. Thomason says be was
dismissed for this cause.

They Ran Away From the Omaha Ex
position and Can't 10 Found.
Omaha, Neb , Oct. 26 -—Two bun
dred Gbrnamen. broogbt into the
United States for tfie ostensible pur*
<pMefof managing the two Chinese
villages al the Trans-Mississippi Ex
position, have disappeared. Where
they have gone no one knows, and
apparently no one cares.
The Wong Obing Foo Company,
composed of some wealthy Chicago
Chinamen, bad charge of the conceit
siun. They gave a bond in the eum
of $25,000 to the government for the
return of the Chinamen after the ex*
position.
The government seems to have dis
covered the situation and orders from
the treasury department have been
issued to the federal marshals through
out the country to apprehend the run
aways and hold them for deportation.
Many ol the people were women, and,
it is charged, these females were sold
to the highest bidders for prostitution.
The management denies this.
It is said that even if the company
is forced to pay the government the
amount of the forfeited bond, they will
still make money, for they received
SI,OOO from each male Chinaman
brought into the country.

The Soldier’s Eaay Life Ahead-
The season for bealtbfql campaign
ing in the tfopics is here, and the
prospect of passing a winter in Cuba,
Porto Rico or the Philippine*, with
the comparatively light duties that
may fairly be expected of the garrison
there, is far from being disagreeable.
Indeed, the novelty of the scene and
the experienee, coqpled with the al
most certain brevity of the service,may
well attract at least those who have
no special ties or important business
interests al home. At all events, some
regiment* have discovered that being
mustered out before getting any ser
vice in the islands that have been the
scene of war ia not a courted privilege.

Marvel of Luxury.
p 1
Tbe latest advances in the art of car
building have been fully exemplified
in a magnificent model just turned
over to Claus Sprecklee, the California
sugar millionaire. The car is 75 feet
long and of regulation width. Enter
ing from the rear platform, which is
surrounded by a railing of polished
brass, uniquely designed, one steps in
a reception and observation room.
The walls and ceiling are paneled with
while mahogany, inlaid with delicate
lines of rare wood*. Tbe whole inter!
Or of the car is similaily finished in
tbe same wood. Tbe carpet* of heavy
velvet and toe curtains brocaded and
bangings are sea green, tbe carpet
•ilk. Tbe furniture,a divan and great
easy chairs, is upholstered in Persian
velvet, tbe predominating color being
grew.* The room 4 is lighted by a clus
ter qf ga» lights, inglosod in a green
globe, and there are oil lamps which
may be used io case of accident to the
gas reservoir or other emergency.
A long, narrow ball leads from Ibis
room to tbe dining room," and along
one side of this hail are a bathroom
and three *taterooms~*it would be
more proper, perhaps, to call them
bedrooms—and it is in these rooms
that tbe designer’s cunning and tbe
builder’s art are shown to the greatest
advantage. Each has a bed, somewhat
larger than the usual sleeping car
berth, a washstand r »ith hot and cold
water, a small chiffonier with many
drawers, a medicine chest and gas jet
in one corner. When the car was or
dered no mention was made of price.
Mr. Spreckles merely said he wanted
the best.
The gem.of the oar, however, i« tbe
dining room. The wood work ia white
mahogany, creamy and highly polith*
ed, and tbe dining table and chair* are
of the same wood, fashioned after tbs
style ol the first empire. Tbe carpet
and hanging* are green. Set in thff
wall* on every side are long, narrow
French mirror*, and a sideboard se
verely plain, but elegant, i* built in
one end of tbe room. The table >er*
vitfe, which i* being made in France,
Has not yet reached thia country. A
pantry which would make tbe heart of

kitchen, with a range, whose oven is
sufficiently large to take a big turkey
and outfitted with no end of cooking
utensils, ice boxes, coal bins.and sinks,
all artistically bidden, complete tbe
car. Tbe exterior is finished in the
usual dark color, with the word
“Spreckles” written in big gold letters
on the sides.—Exchange.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF ROS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Snur Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cau
fobnia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acta on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, pleas* remember the name of
the Company—
