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 Sow to Look Good.

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.

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. —New York Bun.

Clans •precklss’ Hew Private Car B 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 most any bouaewife b*«t enviously, a 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. Statz ox Ohio, City op Tolzdo, ) M Lucas County. j Fbank J.
