FAST TRAIN TO OMAHA. OU «f the Best Train* te be Found In the World. “If yon will go down to the Union Station almost any evening now you will see the finest mail train in the United States, or elsewhere, for that matter,” said Chief Clerk P. M. Coates, of the railway mail service in charge of the Chicago and Omaha fast mail. The cars have nearly all been remod eled, renovated, and painted anew. The third set of cars is now in the Uur lington company's shops undergoing treatment. All the old oil lamps have been removed and instead the entire train of five cars is lighted with Plntsch gat There are seven lamps of four burners to each car. The cars have been furnished with new trucks, or the old ones taken apart and refitted piece by piece. All the most modern appliances in the matter of couplings and air brakes help to give the flyer the best possible equipment of any train extant. The new fast mail engine. No. 590, built especially for service on trains Nos. 7 and H, by which Uncle Sam's trains on the “Q.” between Chicago and Omaha arc known has been trained into fine service, and others of the same pattern will soon be on the rails. The government's train now makes Omaha in eleven and one-half hours, running 500 miles between 3 a. in. and 2:30 p. ro. Chief Clerk Coates says that he can not remember of a single instance when Uncle Sam's flyer has been one minute late at the Union Pacific transfer this year.

'Will Curry th« Gospel Into tho Rsmots K.gloD. of PsnnsylvanlB. Maryland and Dalawaro—Ez-CIroo* yoaan Among fhsm. _ IX Salvation Army lassies of Balti more have formed a cavalry brigade and are soon to begin to spread the gospel through Maryland, Penn sylvania and Dela ware on horseback. In the charges up on the hosts of sin these gallant women warriors will be led by Capt. Blanche Cox, an equestrienne who won the plaudits of multitudes ly her daring horseback riding In pink tights in a one-ring clycus some years ago, says the New York World. For several weekH tho lassies have been learning to ride. That was not so very difficult, as the war horses are gradu ates from street car lines with not enough spirit even to attempt, to buck or act unruly. It wns at the first dress parade that the lassies had trouble. Accustomed all their lives to the Jingle and clack of bells the horses did not know quite how to act when they heard the lively tlng-a-llrig of tambourines and the strumming of banjos. Some of the horses thought It was a signal to go ahead and others regarded the sounds as a command to stop. A horse trulner, however, gave the animals a course of Instruction so that they now are quite the equal of Sev enth cavalry mounts—as far as discip line is concerned. When the captain plays on her banjo the opening bars of “Break Away, Break Away from Sin!” the horses know It means "Col umn four, guide right!” The weird opening melody of “Hallelujah” means charge, and the soothing strains of “Kick out the Devil” Is understood by I __ ____ MILADY IS MILKING COWS. Is the Latest Fad In Society—Novel and Fetching. Society’s latest fad. If we may believe report, says milady is milking cows for amusement and charity, says the New York Herald. At a certain fashionable country seat the hostess, who Is much Interested In parish work, Invented, or rather Inaugurated, this fad for chari table purposes, with the result that so ciety has taken It up and for the mo ment the Holstelns and other breeds of cattle are wondering what on earth Is the matter. Bazaars may net consid erable for the church, but to see dainty daughters of society In picturesque coelume or evening dress sitting on the lawn milking a gentle-eyed cow Is so great a novelty every man for miles around will come and buy a glass of milk for sweet charity’s sake, thereby swelling the receipts for milady's pet work. What the cows think of it can not be recorded. Their expression would lead one to suppose they feel highly honored. Milady’s tapering fingers and deft manipulation of their udders does not lead them to suppose she Is not an expert, nor can It be said she Is not. As soon as milady Is In terested, languid and Indolent as she may seem, whatever Is a fad with her will quickly be learned. It was with some trepidation, however, that tho milking of cows began. Every time the cow looked around or switched her tall milady grew frightened nnd ex pected the pall to be kicked over. On one or two occasions this did happen, to the great amusement of the persons who stood around. We shall hear of Innumerable lawn fetes, where the principal feature will be the milking of cows by society women this summer, and many a flirtation, carried on over the milk pall, will later on terminate In an engagement In the conservatory. There Is nothing more bewitching than two rounded arms, bared to the elbow, two roguish eyes glancing up at you, a sensitive mouth smiling at you, and then you are lost it may be milk you are drinking at f"> a glass,but you don’t care. Milady sometimes wears a milk ing costume of Dresden shepherdess de WHY PERSIA IS PEACEFUL. Mohammedans 4ra Not aa Afirmlit Thoro aa They Are Kleewhere. Communications from Persia explain j the remarkable quietude of the people and the absence of the usual attempts at rioting and assassination, notwith- i standing the violent removal of the I late ehah, says the Edinburgh Scots* I man. For more than a generation there has been In Persia little or none of the Mohammedan fanaticism which Is at present foredooming the more or thodox rule of the sultan of Turkey. The Shiah form of Islam, which pre vails In Persia and In North India also, is considered a dangerous heresy by all other Mohammedans. The Persian Mujtahlds and Moollas are few In num ber, and even they are not unaffected by the growing Soofl belief, which sat urates Persian literature and Is really a form of Hidoo pantheism. Bishop Stuart, the Edinburgh citizen who has given hla later yenrs to continuing the works of Henry Martyn and Ur. Bruce at Isphan and Julfa, as well as at Yezd and Kerman, finds the people open to the Influence of medical missions and schools. What the Soofl mysticism be gan, In sapping the tenets of Islam, has of late been continued to an even wider scale by the Babi faith, which Is held Intensely, though secretly, by about 1,000,000 of the people. All Ba bls are friendly to Christians. Islam| is rapidly losing Its hold on Persia.' Occasionally when the church mission aries seem too openly active the paid Moollas try to excite the mob to ter rify the converts, but they treat the bishop and his colleagues with pro found respect, as their fathers treated Henry Martyn at Shiraz. Six converts from Islam have recently been baptized In Julfa alone in spite of the legal death penalty, and they are most ef fective agents among thel” kindred and countrymen. The large co.oer of Ar menians In Julfa prospers and ad vances In culture, sending out represen tatives to Calcutta, Bombay and the chief trading centers of southern Asia. Bishop Stuart finds them willing co adjutors, so that altogether Persia, for the time, presents a striking contrast SALVATION ARMY LASSIES ON HORSEBACK. the horses to mean “Halt for Sing ing.” One laddie will accompany the las sies, to look after the animals. A small wagon, carrying supplies, ad vertising posters, ammunition and arms, will constitute the wagon train. A pretty uniform has been chosen.

Two or three girls whose houses are adjoining had the cows brought up near the veranda and while milking them kept up a fire of conversation about the current event* In society. Another time six society women de voted a morning to the "art" or milk ing. Six cows were led on the lawn and six men. who were experts, taught tlicii mistresses how to milk.

The English mission In Persia gained a hold on the gratitude of the people in the famine of 1871-72, when Bruce and Gordon were the only men who saved the people, but the earlier Sir John Malcolm and Martyn are not forgotten. Stopped the Kirltament. When Charles Hutchinson, the eldest son of “Old Hutch," but a very differ ent sort of man. was president of the Chicago stock exchange, he calmed a tumult in the pits one day by coming out upon a little balcony above the crowd and standing with his hand up raised in an attitude half commanding, half entreatlug. Everybody stopped talking after a little while to see what the beloved "Charley" had to say. But all that he said was "Gentlemen, gen tlemen!" It turned the tide of affairs that day almost as effectually as clos ing the stock exchange might havs ' done. Boston Transcript. | - ■ i m —siiil GtM» OP THOUGHT.
