:THE FIRST PULLMAN CAR.
Built in 1859 and Ban Between Chicagp
and St. Louis.
“I am told that Col. George .W.
Adair of this city was conductor on
the first sleeping car that was ever
run,” said Mr. Pulman to a reporter
of the Atlanta Constitution. “I shOuld
like very much to have met him and
talked with him, as I am told he is
extremely interesting in his harras
tives about early railroading.
“He was, in the pioneer. days of
railroads, a conductor'on the Georgia
railroad, which was one of the ear-
liest of them all.‘ The Georgia rail-
road had two sleeping cars built in
the early forties, probably earlier than
the forties even—I don’t know—but
those two sleeping cars, in their way,
were about the first ever run in this
country. Certainly they were close
about the first. Colonel Adair, I am
told, was'a conductor in those days,
and used to run the train that carried
one of these rude sleeping cars. The
cars were fashioned in simple style,
the back of the seats serving as the
'top cover of the berth when turned
up for the night, so I am informed.
“It was a long time after this before
I started out with my first sleeping
car." It was in 1859, and the car was
run between Chicago and St. Louis.
That car was not at all the same kind
of car that we run these days, of
course, for you will remember that
railroading in those days was nothing
to what it is today. This is one par~
ticular line of progress that has cut-
stripped ,all others in advancement——
railroading. Along with it develOped
the sleeping car.”
fie Had a. Scheme.
.“Money!” exclaimed the promoter,
enthusiastically. “Why, my dear sir,
we’ll practically coin money.”
“You think _ that you. really have
something new, then ‘2” said the capital-
ist, inquiringly.
“Think!” cried the promoter. “I
know it. And it’s along the most mod-
ern lines, too."
“In what way?”
“It’s educational, purely educational,
and that is what takes in these daysl” .
“Higher education?” asked the capi-
talist, doubtfully.
“Well, it’s right up near the top,”
replied the promoter. “You couldn’t;
get it much higher.”
“Is it coeducational!” '
“Well, yes; it is now. A few years
ago it might not have come under that
head, but to-day both sexes will be in
terested in it. All you have to do is to
get out a prospectus and a. fortune Will
be made.” _ 4'
" “But educational institutions require
endowments. ” .
“This one won’t. All that is needed
is a little money for printing, a room
and one professor. Let me get up the
handbills and write a few advertise-
ments for the newspapers and I’ll guar-
antee that the young men of fashion
and the uptO-date girls will flock to
it.” v
The capitalist Still seemed doubtful.
“What would you call the institu-'
tion?” he asked.
“The Four-in-Hand College,” re-
turned the promoter promptly, “and I
‘vvould undertake to teach students how
to tie all the variOus knots in use' in
connection with fashionable neckwear.” '.

“Ordinarily,” remarked an old official
at the Capitol to a. 'Washington Star
reporter, “a. Speaker will have present-
' ed to him about a' half dozen gavels
during a. session. These presentation
.gai'cls are too fancy for general use.
They are as a-rulefmade of handsome
woods, and are bound in either silver or
gold clasps with all kinds of ornamenta-
tion. Some are made of wood that has
served its use in famous war vessels.
and others, as in the one most rcccnrly
received by Speaker Reed, of timber
that was used in the construction of
the Blaine residence in Maine.
“Some of them intrinsically are very
valuable and others are of more value
even by historical associations. » These
gavels are generally used on the day
they are received by the Speaker, and
after that they, go to the wife of the
Speaker. Mrs. Reed has a fine collec-
tion of them, the greater portion of
which were given Mr. Reed when be
He
has received four or five this session so
far, the California one being the hand-
somest and most valuable on account
of its silver and gold ornamentations.
“I saw Mrs. Cox, of New York, re-
cently. She has a. collection of gavels
that were presented to her husband
when he was Speaker. and. she says
she thinks of presenting them to one
of the public museums in New York.
Mrs. Blaine has at’least twenty in her
collectiOn, and Mrs. Randall comes next ,_
with fourteen. Mr. Colfax had the
gavels given him handsomely framed,
and he regarded the collection, as the
'znost interesting feature; in his house.
But for ordinary use, as I said before,
the presentation gavel is not in it. For
plain, all-round work a gavel like that
Speaker Reed uses now 'is the proper
thing.”
caossme TONE’S KNEES-
Our Grandmothers Considered It an In-
delicate Act.
There was a time when a woman who
had the temerity to cross her knees in
public was considered as quite too hold
to be within the pale of good .society.
Fashion’s kinks have taken another
twist now, and the woman who is in
good society shows it by crossing her
feet audibly. That is, she not only
crosses them in the privacy of her own
room and when she seats herself in her
favorite wide, low chair in her recep-
tion room, but she crosses them in the
Street cars and the herdics, in the rail-
way stations and in church. She does,
indeed!
Possibly there is nothing actually
criminal in the habit, though our grand-
mothers thought so, nor is it indecent,
as our mothers thought, and would like
‘ to think yet if they were not bewildered
‘by the. awful overturning‘given-totheir.
previously conceived ideas of what is
right and proper, but it is certainly in-
elegant outside of one’s own home.
In one’s own boudoir, where the fron-
frou of lace ruffles and silk plaitings,
the amplitude of skirts and abundant
draperies cover' all crude outlines, the
crossing of the feet is not exactly un-
graceful. Then, too, it gives opportu-
nity for the display Of a. well-shod foot.
