THE KING OF CANNIBAL ISLANDS ON A SPREE-CURIOUS
SCENES AT COURT.
By Robert Loiiis Stevenson. '
[ Copyright 1891. ]
PART III.
On the morrow of our arrival , Sunday.
July 14. the photographers were early under
way. Once moro wo traversed a silent town ;
many wcro yet abed and asleep : sorao aat
Orowslly In their open houses ; there was no
sound of intercourse or business. In that
hour before the shadows , the quarter of the
paiAco nnd canal seemed Ilka a landing place
in the "Arabian Nights" or from the classic
poets ; bore wcro the fit destination of some
'faery frlgot ; " here some adventurous prince
might stop ashore among new characters nnd
Incidents ; end the Island prison , where It
floated on the luminous face of the lagoon ,
might have passed for the repository of the
Grail. In such a sccno and at such an hour ,
the Impression received was not so much of
foreign travel , rather ot past ages ; It scorned
uot so much degrees of latitude that wo had
crossed as centuries of time that wo hud
rcascendcd ; leaving , by the same steps , homo
nnd today. A few children followed us ,
mostly nude , nil sllont ; In the clear , weedy
waters of tbo canal , some silent damsels
waned , baring tbelr brown thighs ; nnd to
ono of the moniaps before the palace gate wo
were attracted bya low but stirring hum of
speech.
The oval shed was full of men sitting cross-
legged. The king was there In striped py
jamas , bis rear protected by four guards with
'Winchesters , his air and bearing marked by
unwonted spirit and decision ; tumblers and
black bottles went the round ; and the talk ,
though not loud , was general and animated.
I was Inclined at first to view this scene with
suspicion. But the hour appeared unsuitable
for a carouse ; drink was besides forbidden
equally by the law of the land and the canons
of the church ; and while I was yet hesitating
ho king's rigorous attitude disposed of any
last doubt. Wo bad como thinking to photo-
nrapb him surrounded by his guards , and at
the first word of tbo design his piety revolted.
Wo were reminded of the day the Sabbath ,
in which thou shalt take no photographs
and returned with a flea in our ear , bearing
the rejected camera.
At church , a 11 ttio later , I was struck to
find the throne unoccupied. So nice a Sab
batarian might have found the means to bo
[ ireseut ; my doubts revived , nna before I got
homo they were transformed to certainties.
Tom , ttio barkeeper of the Sans Souci , was in
conversation witn two emissaries from the
court. The "keen , " they said , wanted "din , "
failing which , "porondl. " No din , was Tom's
reply , and no porandi ; but "peera , " if they
pleased. It seems they had no use for peer a
end departed sorrowing.
Kvcryboilv Drunk.
"Why , what Is the moaning of all this I" I
risked. "Is the island on a spreol"
Such was the fact. On the 4th of July a
feast had been made , and tbo king , at the
suggestion of the whites , bad raised tapu
against liquor. There Is n proverb about
horses ; it scarcely applies to the superior
nulmal , of whom it mav bo rather said , that
nny ono can start him drinking : not any
twenty can prevail on him to slop. Tbo
tapu , .raised ton days before , was not yet re-
imposcd ; for ten days the town had been
passing the bottle or lying ( as we had seen
it in the aftcrnoou before ) in hoggish sloop ;
and the king , moved by tbo old men and his
own appetites , continued to maintain the
liberty , to squander bis savings on liquor ,
nnd to join in and lead the debauch. The
Whites were the authors of this crisis ; it
was upon their own proposal that the
freedom bad been granted at. the first , and
for a while , in tbo interests of trade , they
were doubtless pleased It should continue.
That pleasure had now some time ceased ;
tbe bout had been prolonged ( it was con
fessed ) unduly , and it now began to bo n
question how it might conclude. Hence
Tom's refusal. Yet that refusal was avow
edly only for tbo moment and it was avow
edly unavailing ; the king's foragers , denied
by Tom at the Sans Souciwould bo supplied
ot "Tho Land Wo Live In" by the gabbling
Mr. Williams.
A Popular Kuz/.le-DazzIc.
The degree of the peril was uot easy to
measure at the time , and I am inclined to
think now it was easy to exaggerate. Yet
the conduct of drunkards even at borne is
always a matter for anxiety ; and at homo
our populations are not armed from the
highest to tbo lowest with revolvers and
repeating rifles ; neither do wo go on a do-
bnuch by tbo whole townful and I might
Krather say , by the whole polity king , tune-
f Jstratcs , police and army Joining in one com
mon scene of drunkenness. Wo were hero ,
besides , in barbarous islands , rarely visited ,
lately and partly civilized. First and last , a
really considerable number of whites have
perished in tbo Gilberts , chiefly through their
own misconduct , and the natives have dis
played In at least ono instance a disposition
to conceal an accident under a butchery , and
leave nothing but dumb bones. This last was
tbo uhluf consideration against a sudden
closing of the bars ; thn barkeepers stood In
the Immediate breach and dealt direct with
_ . tuo surly a refusal might at any
moment precipitate a blow , and the blow
might prove the signal for n massacro.
Monday , iGth. At the same hour wo re
turned to the satro ruonl.m Kuonimd ( of all
drinks ) was served In tumblers ; in tlip midst
eat the crown prince , a fatted youth , sur
rounded by fresh' bottles and busily plying
the corkscrew ; and king , chief and commons
showed the loose mouth , the uncertain joints ,
nnd tbt ? blurred nnd animated ova of the
early drinker. It was plain we were impa
tiently ttxDCctcd ; thn king retired with alac
rity to dress , tno guards were dispatched
after thnir uniforms and we were loft to
await tholsiuo of these preparations with a
sbodful of tipsy natives. The orgv had pro
ceeded further than on Sunday. Tbo day
promised to bo of great heat ; it was already
sultry ; the courtiers wcro already fuddled ,
and still the kuommol continued to go round
and the crown prlnco to play butler. Flem
ish freedom followed upon Flemish excess ;
and a funny dog , a handsome follow , gayly
dressed and with a full turban of frizzed
hair , delighted the company with a humorous
courtship of n lady in a manner not to bo de
scribed. It was our diversion , in this time of
walling , to observe tbo gathering of the
guards , They have European arms , Euro
pean uniforms , and ( to their sorrow ) Euro-
Dean shoos. Wo saw ono warrior ( like Mars )
in tbo article of being armed ; two men and a
stalwart woman were scarce strong enough
to boot htm ; and , after n single appearance
on parade , the army is crippled for a week.
The Pageantry at .Maklu.
At last the gates under the lych house
opened ; the aroiy issued , ono behind another ,
with guns and epaulettes ; the colors stooped
under the gateway ; majesty followed In his
uniform bedizened with gold lace ; majesty's
wife came next in a hat and foatheru and an
ample trained silk gown ; the royal imps suc
ceeded ; there stood the pageantry of Makm
marshalled on its chosou theater. Dickens
_ mlKht have told how serious thov were , how
Up.sy , how the king melted and streamed
under his cocked hat , how ho took station by
the greater of his cannon , austere , majostlc ,
but not truly vertical ; bow the troops hud
dled and were straightened out nnd
clubbed again , now they and tbelr
tlrolocKs raked at various Inclinations
llko the masts of hliv , and how an
imatour photographer reviewed , arrajcxi and
adjusted thorn to see his dispositions change
before he reached the camera.
Tbo business was funny to sea : I do not
know that it Is graceful to laugh at ; and our
_ _ . report of ttiose transactions was received on
P ourrotuni with the shaking of sravo beads.
It Lookml I'anloky.
The day had begun 111. eleven hours dl-
TlJod us from sunset ; and at auy moment , on
Uio most trilling chance , tbo trouble might
bccln. Tbo Wigbtman compound was In a
military tense untenable , commanded on
three sides by houses nnd thick bush ; the
town was computed to contain over a thous
and stand of excellent now arms , nnd retreat
to the ships , In the case of an alarmwas n re
course not to bo thought of. Our talk that
moraine must have closely reproduced the
'
talk In Enellsh garrisons 'boforn tbo Sepoy
mutiny ; tno sturdy doubt that any mischief
was in prospect , tbo sure belief that ( should
any coma ) there was nothing loft but to go
under fighting , the half amused , half anxious
uttitudo of mind in which wo awaited de
velopments.
The kcmmol soon ran out ; wo were scarce
returned before the king had followed us In
quest ol moro. Mr. Corpse was now divested
of bis more awful attitude , the lawless bulk
of him again cncuascd in striped pyjamas ; n
guardsman bronchi up the rear with his
rifle at trail , and his majesty wa.s further no-
comnnnied by a Karotongan wbalerman and
tbo playful courtier with the turban of
fiizzcd hair. There was never a moro
lively deputation. The whalorman
was gaplngly , tearfully tipsy ;
the courtier walked on air ; tbo king himself
was oven sportive. Seated In a chair In the
Kick's sitting room , ho bora the brunt of our
prayers and menaces unmoved ; he was rated ,
plied with historic instances , threatened with
men-of-wur , ordered to restore the tapu on
the spot and nothing in tbo least affected
him. It should bo done tomorrow , he * said ;
today it was beyond his power , today ho
durst not. "Is that royal 1" cried Indignant
Mr. Kick. No. It was not royal ; had the king
been of a royal character wo should ourselves
held a different language ; and royal or not ,
be had the best of the dispute. Tno terms ,
indeed , wcro hardly equal , for the king was
the only man who could restore the tapu. but
the Kicks wcro not the only people who sold
drink.Hohadbuttohold his ground on thofirst
question , and they wore sure to weaken on
the second. A little struggle they still made
for the fashion's sake , and then our oxcped-
inely tipsy deputation "departed , greatly re
joicing , a case of brandy wheeling beside
them in a barrow. Tbo Karotongau ( whom
I bad never seen before ) wrung me by tbo
hand like a man bound on a far voyage. ' 'My
dear frlon' P' he cried ; "good bye , my dear
frion'l" tears ofkucmmel standing in his
eyes. Tbo king lurched as be wonttbo cour-
tierarablod a strange party of intoxicated
children to bo entrusted with that barrowf ul
of madness.
lie Lost nn K\r. :
You could never say tbo town was qulot ;
all the morning there was a ferment in the
air , an aimless movement and congregation
of natives in the street. But It was uot. be
fore half-past I that a sudden hubbub of
voices called us from the house to find the
whole wnito colony already gathered on tbo
spot as by concerted signal. The Sans Souci
was overrun with rabble , the stpir and veran
dah throngod. From all tbcso throats an in
articulate babbling cry went up Incessantly ;
it sounded like tbo bloatlnp of young lambs ,
but angrier. In the road his royal highness
( whom 1 had seen so lately In the part of
butler ) stood crying upon Tom ; on the top
step , tossed in the burly burly , Tom was
shouting to the prince. Yet awhile the pack
swayed about tbo bar , vociferous. Then
came a brutal Impulse : the mob reeled ; and
returned and was rejected ; the stair vomited
n stream of heads , and there shot Into view ,
through tbo disbanding ranks , three men
violently dragging in their midst a fourth.
By bis hair and his hands his head forced as
low as his knees , his face concealed" ; bo was
wrenched from the verandah and whisked
along the road Into the village , howling as ho
disappeared. .Had his face boon raised we
should have seen it bloodied , and the blood
wus not his own. The courtier with the tur
ban of fnzzed hair had paid the costs of this
c'isturbauco with the lower part of ono
ear.
ear.So the brawl passed with no other casualty
than might seem comic to the inhumane. Yet
wo looked round on serious faces and a fact
that spoke volumes Tom was putting up the
shutters on the bar. Custom might go else
whither. Mr. Williams might profit as ho
pleased , but Tom bad.onough of barkoeping
lor ono day. Indeed the event had hung on
u hair. A man had sought to draw a revolver
on what quarrel I could never learn , and
perhaps ho himself could not have told ; one
shot , when the room was so crowded , could
scarce have failed to take ofTect ; where many
were armed and all tipsy , it could scarce have
"
failed to draw other-"aud the woman who
spied the weapon , and the man who seized it
may very well have savoa the wnito com
munity.
A Female Sump.
The mob insons iblv melted from the scene ,
and for the rest of the day our nclghborhooa
was loft in peace and a good ocul in solitude.
But the tranquility was only local ; din and
porandi still flowed in other quarters , and we
had one more sight of Gilbert Island violence.
In the church , where wo had wandered pho
tographing , wo were startled by a sudden
piercing outcry. The sccno looking forth
from the doors of that grout hall of shadows
was unforgotablo. The palms , the quaint and
scattered houses , the Hag of the island stream
ing from its tall staff , glowed with intolerable
sunshine. In tbo midst two women rolled
flighting on the grass. The combatants were
tbo moro easily easy to bo distinguished , because -
cause the ono was stripped to the ridiand tbo
other were n holoku of sorao lively color.
Tbo first was uppermost , her teeth locked In
her adversary's face , shaking her llko a dog ,
silently and savagely Inlllctlng pain ; the
other impotcutly fought and scratched. So
for a moment wo saw them wallow and grup-
plo there like vermin ; then the mob closed
and shut them In.
A Moment' * Hollcctlon.
U was a serious question that night If wo
should sleep ashore. But wo were travelers ,
folk that had como far In quest of the ad
venturous ; on the first sign of an adventure
It would have been a singular Inconsistency
to withdraw ; and wo sent on board instead
for our revolvers. Mindful of Toahauku ,
Mr. Kick , Mr. Strong , Mr. Osborno and Mrs.
Stevenson held nn assault of arms on the
public highway , and fired at bottles , to the
admiration of the natives. Captain Held of
the Equator staved on shorn with us. to be
at hand in case of trouble , and wo retired to
bed at the accustomed hour , agreeably ex
cited by tbo dav's events. The night was
exquisite , the silence enchanting ; yet as I
lay In my hammock looking on the strong
moonsbino and the quiescent palms , ono ugly
picture haunted mo of the two women , tbo
naked nnd the clad , locked in that hostile
umbraco. The harm done was probably not
much , yet I could have looked upon death
and massacre with less rovolt. The return
to those pritnieval weapons , the vision of
man's beastliness , of man's ferallty , shocked
in mo a deeper sense than that with which
wo count tbo cost of battles. There are ele
ments in our stnto and history which it Is a
nloiviro to forget , which .It is perhaps the
bolter wisdom uot to dwell on. Crime ,
pestilence and death are in tbo day's worn ;
the imagination readily accepts them. It in
stinctively rejects , on the contrary , whatever
shall call up the Imazo of our race upon lu
lowest termsan , tbo partner of beasts , beastly
itsulf , dwelling pell mail and hugger mugger ,
hairy man with hairy woman In the caves of
old. And yet , to bo just to barbarous Island
ers , we must not forget the slums nnd dons
of our cltloi ; 1 must not forgot that I have
passed dlnnerward through Sobo and scan
that which cured ma of my dinner.

The word "theosophy" has boon soon of
late so often in the press that not a few
readers t.ro asking what It means , and as to
what It holds out any special doctrines , and
wherein It differs from the religious systems
familiar to them. Is It supposed la bo a
"revelation ! " has it auy sanction other than
tno confidence of Its adherents ! has It been
unknown to man till nowl what greater In
ducements docs it otter to reason and to hope
than do the sects around t does it propose anew
now church those nnd llko questions como
from the readiug public In this most reading
of lands.
Lot us start with a few broad assertions as
to what and whence theosophy is , nnd then
state the reasons which lo many minds sus
tain and vindicate them.
Theosophy Is neither a philosophy nor a
religion alone ; rather is It tbo ultimata sci
ence of all being , underlying and explaining
Hfo In every ono of Its departments , thus
giving the rationale of the physical universe
and of man In his relations to the Supremo.
It becomes n philosophy when it treats of
cosmogony nnd of terreslrial affairs ; it becomes -
comes a religion when il Ireats of duty.
aspiration and endeavor. And its essential
principle , that of which recent science haj
perceived certain aspects , Is and always has
been evolution.
Theosophy is not a novelty or an invention.
Tbo lorm , indeed , Is Greek , and beuco can
not nnto-dato the Greek language ; but the
"
system now connoted by that "term is the old
est known to man , held millions of years ago
when the present misconceptions were un
born , the one , uniform truth vhich guided
and cheered humanity as it passed through
Ihe evolutionary stagoi prior lo lhal wherein
wo see it. In that re mo to past , u past so remote -
mete that secular science finds no trace of it
and modern religions have neither tradition
nor record , this original and universal science
was the possession of men.
Theosophy is not a "revelation" as the
word is understood ; L e. , it U not a disclosure
of trulh miraculously vouchsafed by God to
man , and which man Is therefore to accept as
authoritative or be condemned for rebellion. '
It is , indeed , an unfolding of the interior
facts of nature and destiny , oul ono which.
however verifiable by ourselves and verified
by others far greater , is still an appeal to
reason and the moral sense , enforced by no
monaco end to bo accepledonlyon conviction.
Theosophy does not exhort to the abolition
of religions and churches , still less to tbo
abolition of religious instinct. On the con
trary , it exhorts lo Iho abolition of every
passion which holds tbo Instinct In check ;
and it insists that Iho fundamental basis of
all religions is the same , only surface errors
misguiding Ihelr onerrry and paralyzing iheir
usefulness. Hence It urges , not a mere
benevolent hope , such inquiry to eventuate
In the recovery of primal truth , the repudia
tion of later mistake , the reunion of man on
ono common ground of universal fraternity
and good will.
Thoosopby Is no opponent of sound learn
ing. Far from It. It holds that ignorance is
tao parent of every ill , and that propagation
can only bo checked by the parent's destrnc-
lion Ihrough knowledge. So It favors the
widest , most unrestricted invejligalion , stim
ulating every effort after light and truth , as
suring that all the Higher Powers are on the
aide of fearless , patient investigation. It will
not be content with truth only in physics and
attained through physical senses ; it insists
that the whole realm of nature , seen and un
seen , is tbo true sphere for search , and lhal
no partial or limited area can glvo other than
partial and limited results. Hcnco it breaks
down the bars of flesh and senso. Impels to
movement on every plane , tells of facilities
by which each plane can bo explored , shows
how ail plans ara related a nd mutually ex
planatory. It has a place for every investi
gator , p'rovided only that he will not deny
validity to other areas than his own ; just as
It has a place for every believer , provided
only that he will not hold his beliefs as ex
clusive. For It is a universal sclonco as well
as n universal religion.
Of course these positions do antagonize it
to much of the conventional belief of tbo day ,
whether In secular studies or in religious
teaching. With its largo survey of various
distinct planes of existence , a survev ac
quired pnd verified Ihrough countless ages of
sludy and record , Iheosophy cannot possibly
say to a science of yesterday thst it has de
tected the secret of being , nor to a religion
dating back a few centuries that It truly
portrays Iho mind and will of an Infinite
Beincr. As well might tbo sago of TO con
cede accuracv to tbo child of 10. If thocnlld
of 10 insisted that its attainments were al
ready greater , or that its perceptive power
gave il superior assurance , or that It enjoyed
an infallible disclosure from on high , the
sago might refrain from contest , but
ho would hardly vacate bis ground. And
so theoaophy , ready and willing lo Impart its
accumulation of fact to everyone desirous to
receive , docs not pretend to agreement with
claims which all considerations Impugn and
all examinations refute. Its totally different
altlludo from thai of schools and churches
must oxcllo some marked hostility. In fact ,
oven tha broadest thinkers may confess to a
s tart when they encounter a theory of Ufa so
contrasted with that they have been accus
tomed to since childhood. And yet on tbo
ether hand , the certainty that conventional
theories are now felt to bo so unsatisfactory ,
and that their explanations of and remedies
for the evils of existence- fall .so utterly short
of the requirements of tbo case ,
does excite suspicion thai some radically dlf
ferenl schema may bo Iho Irue ono. Slight
modification holds out no hope of true solu
tion. Tbo moro divergent from lines that
have proved a failure , the moro likely It U to
lead to success. And so the very dissimi
larity of thcosopny from the ooctfino custo
marily held may , after all , provo its great
commendation 'to the thinker dissatisfied
with existing systems. If it propounds a
wholly different reason as to why wo are
hero ana how , an utterly uullko explanation
of evolution and progress and destiny and
law , a thoroughly cnangod version of the
evils of society , the suffering of Individuals ,
and tbo way to roforin , another ideal and
stimulus and bopo and aspiration , ho may on
thai very ground feel prepared to glvo It ex
amination. And this U exactly what tboso-
phy QOOS. It says at the vary
outset that each man is reincarnated
over and over again Into ear'b-llfa ,
thai ho U repeatedly here as necessary sleps
In his evolving nature , thai Ihe character of
ihcse incarnations U determined by his own
conduct In them , that ho and ho aiono fixes
his own destiny under the divine law , that
law Is inttcxlbla and uuovadeablo , and that
nbioluto Justice rules and administers his
whole career. Hero , then , theosopby pro
pounds with hU tint utterance two doc
trines as Its very essence karma and reincar
nation. Thai they are susceptible of proof
it affirms ; that 110 others oxplula the mys-
lertei of Ufa II confidently ossorU ; that thi < y
may startle Into investigation u hopes ; that
investigation will convince , its own experi
ences luauros.

MODERN MODES OF TRAVEL ,
Wherein We Differ from tin Blow Qaited-
ness of Our Fathers.
MARKED IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAIN SERVICE.
Luxuries Kujoyed by the Traveler on
the Rallronils of tlie Country
Fane I I'u I Names for
Trains.
It is doubtful if any form of human effort
has witnessed so many and such marked im
provements as have occurred In the train
service of tuls country during the last flvo
years. The aggravation of enlarged dog
iiounels , ivhtcn was at ono time thougat good
enouch for the needs of the ordinary passen
ger , has been relegated to a condition of
"Innocuous desuetude , " and has baan super
seded by trains which aro. In every respect ,
worthy of those who are to occupy thorn. So
far has this improvement KOUO that it is a
safe assertion that most of us , when travel-
lug , nro better fed , have liner if less secure-
sleeping quarters , and are generally bolter
looked after than when at our own homo. It
Is uotlcoiible , In this connection , that the
phrase , "Enjoy all the comforts of homo , "
which was so wont to figure In the advertis
ing matter of the railway companies , two ,
three or four years ago , has almost disap
peared. This change ha * not been brought
about from any philanthropic motives on the
part of ttio railroads. Nowmdecd 1 It is sim
ply another instance of thp laws governing
supply and demand. IT >
To proceed , however , Ida fact remains
that tbe requirements -ofc-tho fastidious
American traveling publififcave been so cen-
orally met , nay. antlclpated-by the transpor
tation companies , and' ' sd tasnv roads have
put into commission the vpVtibultng arrange
ment , the reclining chair car , the electric or
pas system of lighting , the smokeless
locomotive , and such , _ ( a variety of
other devices for tbo o'convonlenco and
safety of tbo traveler.that the array
ot trains , really first cTgis In every par
ticular , Is a mootformldabieiono.
In fact , to suca an oxtedt * has this spirit ot
advancement been carrie < VAhat tbo boast recently -
contly made that nny ovary-day American
ha ul hi * disposal wnen 'Journeying , accom
modations which no Kuro gan monarch can
command , U no Idle ono.
When ono conilden tbttf there are dome-
thine llko 20,000 passcnccr trains' dally
traversing tbo hundred and thirty odd
thousand miles of track in this country , It is
not difficult to realize that the task cf se
lecting representative trains u not an easy
ono.
ono.To simplify matters It will perhaps bo
best to make three divisions , viz. , (1) ( ) long
distance trains , ( J ) short distance trains anil
(3) ( ) suburban trains.
Tno reason for tbo existence of superior
train service U to bo found in the iuclsionca
of competition. Between Owltown and
Bungvlllo , for instance , whoso communica
tion with the outer world U by means of tbo
Grand Junction & Unreliable railroad , and
by it alone , them are DO parlor cars , no
palace sleepers. Tha Inhabitants of tboso
thriving municipalities are m great luck if
the way-freight , which runs on alternate
days , U anywhsro within flvo hour * of its
"offlcial time.
But In tbo coio of two great
cltlos , whoso interest * ara served ( or
subverted ) by a dozen or more
trunk lines , it 1s as Bill Nye says , "a mule of
another hue.1 '
Tuko as an example , the trains engaged la
the maintalnanco of communication between
Now York nnd Chicago nnd those between
Chicago , Denver and the Paciiio coast. Of
the former , the "Pennsylvania limited , "
whicb leaves Now York at lo a. m. , ana ar
rives In Chicago at 9:45 a. m. the following
day , is without a peer outside of the United
States , and it is almost impossible for ono to
imagine how the conveniences and comforts
which present themselves at every tarn of
the head could bo improved upon. In addi
tion to the vostlbuling arrangement , the din
ing nnd sleeping cars , etc. . which are tbo el
ements of every first class train there
are the smoking car with sofas
and easy chairs tbo observation
car , furnished with tables , books and papers
( and having in Us roar a great broad plat
form , whence ono may view In comfort tbo
everchangtug scenes. ) A barber shop , a
bath room , card tables , libraries and writing
desks are to bo found. K.ICU berth Is furn
ished with a Jet of incandescent llcnt , ad
justable to any desired position ; stock quo
tations are telegraphed three times a day ,
and displayed with thn weather reports , on
bulletin boards ; there Is a stenographer nnd
and type writer to assist the hurried man of
affairs in bis correspondence , nnd a ladies'
maid to render help to nil females In clistros-i.
The distance from New York to Chicago ,
012 miles , is traversed in twnnty-four and
tbreo-quarter hours an average speed of
about thirty-seven mlles au hour.
Nor is this the only train connecting those
two cities which oiTer to the traveler the
highest development of railway construction.
There are at least six others which merit the
title of being first-class There is the North
Shore Limited , running over the tracks of
the New York Central and Michigan Ccutral
railways , and tbo famous Now York and
Chicago Limited by the Now York Central
and the Lake Shore , both of which , on ac
count of the excellence of their appointments
and their high ra'.o of speed , made necessary
by reason of tholr mllnago being somewhat
longer than their moro southerly rival , are
powerful claimants for truRlr The snood
of tbo North Shore Limited U nbout
thirty-nine mites an bonr , while tbo new
Yoric limited arags along at a fraction over
forty miles an hour. The \vou compares not
unfavorably witn the east In the complete
ness and speed of Us through trains. Tbo
"Burlington flyer" makes the Journey from
Chicago to Denver , 1,0 5 miles , in thirty
hours , on average rate of thirty-four miles an
hour. The "Overland Flyer" of tbo Union
Pacific is unotcor excellent train , reaching
San Francisco in loss than seventy-two hours
after leaving Council Bluffs , S.SJ-J mlloa dis
tant. Both thuja trains are finished in tbe
sarao complete manner which characterizes
their eastern connections , having libraries ,
buffets , vestibules , and every convenience to
minister to one's comfort.
Tbo best short-distance trains are those
between Now YorK and Boston , and be
tween Now York , Philadelphia nnd Wash
ington. The " ( Jilt Edge Limited" over the
Now York. Now Haven & Hurtford railroad ,
runs ? > milto in six hours , and the "Con
gressional Special" of the "Bound Brook"
and "Baltliuoro & Ohio" routes attains a
speed of over 45 miles au hour. Perhaps ,
bowovcr , the finest short-distance trains uro
thoio of the Old Colony railroad between
Boston and Fall Ulvcr , a distance of 49
miles ,
The competition botwcen tbo different
transportation companies for the Boston
Now York business has resulted In tbo pat
ting on of a service between those points
which is nownero surpassed. Tbo
arrangements for the comfort of
passengers are wonderfully complete , in-
eluding even the conveyance through the
cars of Ice-wator for tbo thinly. The llnoi
connecting Chicago and St. Louis also afford
splendid service ; ono tram between tboso
two cities , conveys nightly two sleopcrs
whoso united value Is not less than $30,000.
In so far as suburban travel U concerned ,
the o&st Is far ahead of the west , tbo econ
omic condition * of its citie * are responsible
for such a state of affairs , and the care and
attention which have been bestowed upon
the beautifying of the towns conligious"
the larger centres of population tbere , have
worked wonaors. Now York , Boston and
Philadelphia have hundreds of trains engaged -
gaged in suburban trafllc alono. In New
York special cars are owned by
tbe moro wealthy residents of Orange ,
Morristown and other places , nnd in
these moving palaces tno Wall street man ,
surrounded by his circle of Intimates , dally
hloth him to his bulllngs and bearings. Bos
ton is not far behind ; during the summer
months. She has several trains composed
entirely of parlor cars , tbo scats In which ore
engaged for the whole reason.
A pbaso of railway travel , which strikes
the observant nowadays U that almost all
tbo moro speedy and popular trains bear some
fanciful cognomen. Tbo day of "Atlantic
Expresses. " ' . 'Pacific Malls , " and "Trans
continental Through Trains" is over. Tbo
titles are not sufficiently expressive : they do
uot catch the eye nor rivet the attention.
The general passenger agent of a great
railway system dubs his trains somewhat
thuslv ;
"Tho Owl Train , " "Tho Cannonball , "
"The Flyer , " "The Fast Flying Virginian , "
"Tho Golden Gate Special , " "Tho Montezuma -
zuma Express , " "ThoVhito Train"1 "Tho
ICoystono Express , " "The Velvet Train. "
"Tbo Clover Leaf Express , " "ThoVnito
Mountain and Seaside Special , " and a host
of other names moro or leas applicable.
