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.

Nos. 7 and H, by which Uncle Sam's

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.

In the charges up
on the hosts of sin
these gallant women warriors

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

opening melody of “Hallelujah” means

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

Two or three girls whose houses are

near the veranda and while milking
them kept up a fire of conversation
about the current event* In society.
