REMARKABLE TRIP,

A
New York Tim
1887
es, June
Hon. Wolfe Rahill, of Chicago, looking
for all the world as though he had jost
issned from the proverbial band-box,
was stumbled over last night at the
Windsor Hotel, where he was engaged
in searching the tape line for the last
quotation for July wheat. The set of
Mr. Rabill's clawhammer coat was fault-
less; his shirt bosom, from the centre of
which a lastrous opal shot forth moon-
like rays, wasimmaculate and norampled:
while his trousers, marked by that latest
freak of gentlemanly folly, the Prince of
Wales crease, fitted him in a way that at
once filled with envy all the heavy swells
of Gotham who were buzzing about the
wide corridors,
“It beats the world,” Mr. Rahill re-
marked, looking up from the paper rib
bon that he held between his thumb and |
fore-finger, “it is the greatest accomplish-
ment of the century.”
; "Ihe Chicago wheat deal?” quered
rin listener in a vain effort to cate in |
arty ch his
“Nonsense!” he returned, dropping the
line, and thrusting both hands into his |
trousers’ pockets. “The Chicago wheat
deal is an old story. The same thing has |
been done over and over again. No, sir; |
I was speaking of the train on which I!
left Chicago last evening, and on which
I came into Jersey City to-night—one of
the new Vestibuled Trains that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has |
just pat on between the two cities. It's
the novelty of the age, it's the—bnt atop, |
let me tell you about it and you yourself
will bave to bunt for terms sufficiently
glowing to describe it. I came back to
Chicago yesterday afternoon after a busi«
ness trip west as faras Omaha, I was |
dusty, dirty, and weary, and I longed for
nothing 80 much as a bath and a good
sound sleep, 1 was tired of the rumble |
and rattle of the cars, the flying cinders, |
the cramped sitting posture, the dost |
over everything, the railroad lunch-rooms,
and the railroad sandwiches, I made
up my mind that I would settle down in
Chicago and never stir ont of it again
until I bad to. Well, what do you sup-
pose happened? When at four o'clock 1
rushed into my office in State street and
dropped into my chair, there swmong the
letters on my desk before me I found an |
invitation to a friend's wedding in New
York. Time: to-night; 7.30, I railed at
my unlucky start. Much as I despised
railroad traveling I would have gone
double the distance to have seen that
man married. In days gone by we were
as were Damon and “Pythiss. 1 stated
the case to my partner, and growled like
seven bears becanse I had not come
home a day earlier,
‘Well,’ said my partner, after a
moment's hesitation, ‘if you'd » growl.
ing and hustle about a little you might
get there yet,” ”
“‘Man alive” I exclaimed, ‘you're
crazy, “The Pennsylvania Railroad's
New York and Chicago Limited, which
makes the fustest time of soy train east,
leaves in less than an hour, and does not
arrive in New York until seven o'clock to-
morrow night, The wedding takes place
the wedding march, or you can call on |
me for ten thousand bushels of July
wheat at 70.
“Well, I just put myself trastingly into
his hands. The first thing he did was to
start a messenger off to my house with |
my satchel, apd instructions to put in my
dress clothes and two changes of under-
wear, and to be at the Union Station by
he
did was to secure a section for me on the
Pennsylvania's Vestibuled Train for that |
afternoon; and it was only by luck that |
he got it, Everything, I believe, bad |
been engaged for days ahead, but some-
body, who couldn’t go, brought back his
ticket, and 80 I was saved, At five
o'clock, still dusty, dirty, and weary, I
climbed into the most loxoriousear it has

the lucky possessor for the trip, was a |
little deliciously upholstered drawing- |
room, with cushions and hangings of a
tint that I think I have seen described
somewhere as crushed strawberry. The |
fittings were of satin wood, and the |
ceiling was decorated in silver. There |
were gilvered lighting arrangements too. |
Not gas brackets, my friend, for that
whole train is illuminated by electricity.
Well, I found that there was a toilet- |
room connected with that section of]
mine, which, together with the rection, |
could be cut off from the rest of the train,
and so if I wanted privacy I could have
all I wanted. 1 did want it, becanse 1
had a number of letters with me that I
had found at the office and that I had no
time to read carefully before I stirted.
I shat myself in for a while with my let.

and getting the porter to give me a
thorough brashing.
“Then I became aware of the fact that
I was hungry, and so I made inquiry as
to the dining car. It was forward, | was
told, and I strolled thither, passing
through another car on my way. Al- |
thongh we were running at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, there was no necess-
ity of catching hold of the seats to steady
myself as I went, That train glided
along as smoothly as a sleigh on polished |
runners over hard-packed snow, and I
walked from ona end of it to the other
ag | would walk through this corridor. |
I found the rest of the sleeeping car in
which | was located was upholstered in
sendarme blue, with woodwork of Hun-
garian mahogany, and the way in which
the two colors harmonized was a delight. |
ful change from what I had been used to
on the western roads, The vestibule
arrangement | found a most charming
innovation, In passing from carto car,
there was no banging to of the door
with one hand, holding one's hat with
the other to keep it from flying off, and
then making a grab for the handle of the
door of the next ear, in mortal terror of
being swung from the platform. No, sir!
It was a step over a carpeted vestibule,
between velvet curtains which hid from
view the rubber joints that connected the
two cars,
