' ’ The Congressional Limited of the PennsylvaniaRailroad running between New York and Washington has just been equipped with entirely new cars of regal appointments. In external-flappearance the train closely resembles the new Pennsylvania Limited~red name board, cream be- tween the windows, and dark green below, This coloring is further en- riched by elaborate decorations in gold leaf. The interior of the train is a veri‘,l table palace. The wood work-through- out is vermilion, ornamented with delicate ' inlaid marquetry in Persian designs. Each car is furnished in harmonic colors. The dining car is a new departure and a unique creation. The tables are placed. directly opposite the windows, which are unusually wide, instead of between them; and instead of the usual fixed seats this car is equipped with mahogany chairs. The tables on one side of the car are somewhat longer than ordinary, while those on the other side are shorter, accommodating only two persons. In consequence there is much more room on all sides than form- erly. ' The most noticeable new feature in the parlor cars is the ladies’ dressing room. This is a. rounded compartment five and one-half by six feet, tastefully furnished and finished. On one side stands a beautiful dresser with a large plate-glass‘mirror flanked on each side bya plush wall or corner seat. Be- sides these, the room contains a metal washstand and several small closets and racks. Every lady traveler will appreciate this latest effort of the Pennsylvania ‘Railroad company to provide for her comfort. These new trains went into regular service between-New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, and Washington on Monday, May 2. Darien and N oroton.

Over fifty years ago a boat carrying more than three hundred passengers was making its way down the Ohio River. Amongst those on board were a. lot of senators going to Washington for Congress. A ~ young Methodist minister, twenty-two years or age, was also on’board. This young man was totally blind, but quite alive to the card—playing and whisky-drinking that went on on board. ’ , One moonlight night he preached a sermon, soundly re-buking the Con- gressmen for their share in the dis- graceful habits on board. They were greatly surprised at his attack, but admired his pluck all the same. They gave him a sum of mon- ey, and oflered him the post of chap- lain of Congress. - In due time he was elected, and still holds that oflice. This is the famous Dr. Milburn, D. D., whose sermons are known all over the world. ~ \Vome‘Ifiiiul’ Bank: "If it were not for the women who have bank accounts,” said a paying teller last week, “the routine of bank- Ing business would be, deadly dull. Wherever clerks from different banks come together, one unfailing source of amusement is the recital of what wo- men have been doing in the banking business. For instance, a woman re- cently went into the office of the Ham— llton Trust Company, in Brooklyn, and asked: “ ‘Is Mr. Hamilton here?’ “‘No, m-adam,’ said the clerk, who remembered her as a woman who had started an account the week previous. “ ‘Where is he?” asked the woman. “ ‘I don’t know, madam. Mr. Alex- ander Hamilton is dead, you know.’ “ 'I didn’t know it,’ said the woman. 'Oh, dear, I’m so sorry! Now, how on earth am I to get my money?’ “And before the clerk could explain, she rushed out.”——l‘$ew York Sun. - THEROYAL BLUE LIN E Offers the finest and most- pert‘ect train service between New York.
