A NEW STYLE OF PASSENGER CAR.
rfrt, *h -y 8#"$'—* * < & " 1 if?,
Changes That Will Be M title to Insure
Greater Safety for Travelers.
The competition of the easternrdil-
wuys on passenger business has beconie
largely a qpesfcon^ time
ons in this direction e
lated cases. The force of ' yuvue
opinion, however, is constantly' driving
the roads to the adoption of means for
increasing the safety and comfort of
travelers. One of the most recent in-
ventions pointing to this end is the pass-
enger car designed try Leslie P. Fanner,
recently the general jpjwsenget! agent of
the New York, Lake Erie and Western,
and now the pnafiengipr commissioner of
the Trunk Line twsociajfon. The novelty
of the invention is the substitution of
side openings in the center of the car
and the abolition* of the end platform
and steps.
The car is entered through double
doors at the center, the car door sill be-
ing just above the platforms of stations,
while the steps up to the floor of the car
are wholly within it, and extend close
to the aisle or passageway Door open-
ings at each end of the car are provided,
but only for passage by vestibule from
one car to another. The care will be so
close together that vestibules are not
positively needed Among the advan-
tages on the side of safety in the new
style of car is that, with the center side
doors closed, it will lie impossible to get
on or off the oar when it is in motion. •
The riding of passengers on platforms
is impossible, and it is .pot many months
since the son of a well knowu merchant
was blown off a platform and killed
while, attempting to go 'from one car to
another on a rapidly moving train. The
steps are four feet wide, and the cars
can be more easUy emptied than in the
case of the present style. As a rule, nine
men out of ten in a passenger oar will
crowd to the front exit in getting off.
even if they thereby trav. i se a distance
of two-thirds of the car's length.
With side openings the stream of pas-
sengers pouring out would bo directed
from end to end toward the centre of the
car, thereby facilitating the emptying
of the car with more comfort to passen-
gers. The gradual rise of tho steps from
the station level to the flpor of the plat-
form affords convenience to the egress
of old and feeble persons and children
The. passage directly frrtin the covered
steps to the station platform also enables
rain to be avoided, as it i#> impossible to
raise umbrellas when pusst&gers on or-
dinary cars, with open plrrsffcinnson each
side, make their esiL while the new in-
vention also averts, the dapger involved
in the slipperiness bv wet and ice which
the open steps suffer from in rainy or
wintry weather.
Not a small advantage maintained for
the new car is that it shuts off the drafts
rendered necessary when in the ordinary
car the brakemen open both end doors
and yell Out the names of stations in un-
intelligible language. Brakemen being
wholly within the car. perhaps their an-
nouncements may be more easily dis-
tinguished. At least they will be de-
prived of the excuse of Baying that half
of their remarks were blown by the wind
through their whiskers.
The steps and station platform will be
well lighted in the new car without a
special outside light. The seating ca-
pacity is also increased above that of the
common car by two seats. Heaters,
brakes, toilet rooms, etc., are all inclosed
in the new style. It is expected that
three cars made after Mr. Parmer's de-
sign will soon be placed for trial upon
one of the branches of the Erie road.—

said the proprietor severely, "you are
here to dance; go back to the ball room."
On one occasion the weather became
very tvld. A distribution of blankets
was made among the full i»aying guests,
and there was none left for the dancing
young men. They protested against the ]
treatment, and were loud in their com-
plaints. "You are hsretp dance," said
the proprietor, "and if you are cold go

Palaces of Various Kinds.
Away back in the misty past, when
the porcelain makers of China combined
and erected their famous "Palace of
Porcelain," they little thought of the ex-
ample they were setting for coming gen-
erations. The ice bound Russians first
took the hint, and erected the first of the
"Ice Palaces." an example followed by
Montreal. (Quebec, St. Pan! and other
boreal American cities, who thought to
boom their prospects by advertising the
fact to the world at large that they were
situated within the circle of the shadow
cast by the north pole. With a more
practical eye to business the people of
the south erected the "Cotton Palace"
at New Orleans, followed closely by the
"Corn Palace" at Sioux City, la.
Since the last named uuique-wrection
"palaces" have sprung up all around,
like toadstools in damp weather. Ne-
braska has her "Sugar Palace," Creston,
la., her "Hay Palace," Puebl6, Colo., her
"Mineral Palace," Ottum wa. ia., a "Coal
Palace," and last but not least the "Flax
Palace" at Forest City. Ia., in which an
exhibition of the resources of 8fp*

a "Gold Palace" on Wall street, an
Oyster Palace" on the shores of the
classic Chesapeake, or a "Yam Palace"
in Georgia.—-St Louis Republic. ^
Dancing Men Only. . '
The proprietor of a hotel at Alleghany
Springs this season advertised to
dancing young men at a dollar a day, as
there were so few young men to danoe
with the young ladies. They came from
every quarter of the land, and from
