ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE. SUNDAY, JUNE 6, 1897. McKIKLEY TO HAVE A PRIVATE TRAIN .1 i jy ('f wemm i ing spin ro long that he cannot readly get to sleep when he gets home it is time to take warning. Of course a man conld experience both fatigue and palpitation nnd etill not have strained himself, but I mention this cs a very safe limit. If a person never gees beyond it he will never do himself any harm on a bicycle.

At the meeting of medical directors you ask me about it was only the excess of bicycle riding and other forms of physical exercise that came up for discussion. It wns pointed out, for example, that wrestlers, football players, prize-fighters and persons undergoing that form of physical exercise get up a temporary conges curely fastened together. Over this foundation heavy canvas is stretched and upon this canvas a board flooring is laid and nailed to a substructure of sill timbers. This makes the bottom of the car six inches thick of solid timber. Such a car could not be broken even by a collision where the car was moving at a speed of fifty miles an hour.

The decoration of the car is in the empire style. The ceilings are in artistically colored relief work. The windows of the car ure unusually, large, the observation end being composed of one pane of plate glass and a glass door. The windows are in gothic style, the upper parts being of leaded glass. The car contains eight hundred feet of glass of all kinds, one hundred square feet of it being thirty-three mirrors.

The roof of the room is dome shape and the deck sash support for a given length would tend to give steadiness and desirable riding qualities. Never before in the history of railroad building has anything been planned which will even approach in magnificence the ideas which it is believed will be carried out in the construction of thi3 railway train for President McKinley. President McKinley will be the first chief executive of the United States to enjoy such luxury. Of course Mr. McKinley will not travel extensively in all probability while he is president, but he ill at least ha ve the satisfaction of enjoying every possible comfort that can be imagined to aid in making railroad travel a pleasure.

The fittings of the car will be gorgeous In the extreme The finest Wilton velvet or Moqnette carpets will be ntilized. The woodwork will be inlaid with mother of pearl. It is intended that the wood itself shall be representative of all the different woods of the world which are used in the construction of furniture. Wherever there is a point against which. President McKinley might be thrown by jar cf the train a delicate bit of nnholstery is visible, for the purpose of rendering the impact harmless.

On entering the car CHILDREN OF DIPLOMATS. jtey Are an Attractive Feature of Social Life at the Capital. sit down on the slide, let go all hold and go flying to the ground. There is great sport in this little toboggan. More ambitious boys can build from the top of a shed or from a talt stone wall, placing number of planks end to end, bracing them securely and thus make a very much longer and more exciting slide than a one plank slide.

Try it. It Will be the Railroad Wonder of the Century. FOR OFFICIAL FAMILY It Will be the Gift of the Combined Railways of the Country To be the Most Wonderful Train in the World. Written for the Democrat nnd Chronicle. Washington, D.

5. President McKiuley is to have a whole train presented to him. It is to be the most wonderful and sumptuously furnished palace on wheels ever conceived. This announcement will be news to those who thought only a privata car was to be given to the chief executive, which was the original plan of the railroad men having the mtUter in charge. It has not been fully decided yet whether the train will consist of two or three cars, but it is probable that its make up will be as follows: One car for the olli-cial use of the president for the transaction of business, reception of committees and deputations, for conferences, etc.

Another for the living accommodation of the president and his family, or the ofiicials and functionaries accompanying him. In addition to these two, is a third for baggage, to be fitted with apparatus for independently heating and electrically lighting tlie train- Such a plan would certainly appropriately fit the requirements of the case, nnd it would be gratifying for every one, railroad men say, if the train should be arranged as previously outlined. The advisory committee which has the matter in charge is now considering it. This committee consists'of the following gentlemen: P. D.

Adams, Newton, Thomas Anderson, M. C. Pittsburg and Western railway; F. W. Brazier, assistant S.

Illinois Central railroad; John T. Chamberlain, M. O. Boston Maine railroad: S. A.

It must not be supposed that there is anything in th' nature of a bribe to the president in the m-ttter of this It is fciinply nnd solely intended as specimen of what this co-intry can produce in the way of a railroad train when a united effort to tur'i out the very liest is made entirely without prejudice. Of course it is no certainty that the tinin outlined nlroady in this article will be the one eoi.structed. Several very happy ide.is have been fmcgested. Among them is one by Archer Richards. Mr.

Richard's design incorporates a novel but what railroad men term nn entirely practicable feature. In other words, twin cars are proposed for the purpose of obtaining more space than is practicable in any tingle car not of such dimensions fis to preclude the possibility of its general movements over the. roads. The two halves Ixing within reasonable limits of size would permit of a structural design of maximum strength with a mimimum of weight, while the additional points of A WONDERFUL one will be amazed by its beauties. We are used to luxuries on trains.

We know that scores of clever brains are studying to find new ways in which to make railroad travel something to be pleasantly remembered. President McKinley train, however, will be the first exposition of what artistic ability and practical common sense combined can accomplish. It will show the people of this country and to all those fiom abroad who have the pleasure of inspecting it that the United States, when it comes to railway travel, can ro far discount European effort as to make the comparison odious. The McKinley train will in a word be the railroad wonder of the century. The plans if carried out will certainly result in the splendor that will fairly dazzle the eyes of even those who are accustomed to every luxury.

Edward A. riiillips, of the Railroad Car Journal, has been largely instrumental in presenting this idea to the railroad men of the country. He believes that the plan is not only feasible, but that these is no question of its being carried out. There Is, he says, nothing which the railroads of the United States cannot accomplish if they so desire. President MoKinley's train, Mr.

Phillips believes, will be a surprise to even car builders and furnishers. The number of cars has not been definitely decided as yet. It is suggested that two cars of the twin variety would be amply sufficient for the train, as the half of the second car could be devoted to purposes of baggage, etc. Thomas Anderson, M. C.

B. of the Tittsburg railway, has prepared a design for one car of the train, to be used by the president. He dominates it the presidential car. His plan calls for a car 09 feet inches long, and 9 feet 8 inches wide. In one end are the heater, range, sink and all that goes with the kitchen, together with a refrigerator, etc.

In the same portion of the car is the section where the cook, porter, would lodge. A small baggage room flanked by the toilet room on one eide and a locker on the other come next. The space in occupied by a private room extending almost the entire width of the car, a narrow aisle on one side just permitting the passage of a person. Next to this room at one side is a pacious wardrobe and locker, these adjoining a buffet which occupies a portion of one end of a large dining room. A I rivate room comes next, and joining that is the bath room and another private room.

The remainder of the car is taken up by the observation room. This is one of the most elaborate designs of all those submitted. The project for the president's train calls to mind the remarkable advance which has been made in the comforts of railroading the last thirty-five or forty years. Up to 1SU0, only a few private cars had been built, and they were t-tructures costing little if any more than the ordinary passenger car of that period. In the early sixties a man who had charge of GOO miles of railroad was considered one of the foremost men of the business.

The change from then to now, from no private cars at all to a private car for almost every one, is shown by the fact that the Pullmnn car shops alone have turned out one hundred private cars during the last fifteen years. One of the finest private cars in existence to-day is that constructed for the president of the Philadelphia Reading railroad. The bottom of the car consists of 4xH inch sills, laid solidly side by side for the entire width of the car and se tion of the kidneys and show the bad effects for some time afterwards. But even in these cases it was not claimed that the congestion took a permanent character. Golf has the advantage over the bicycle in never permitting a person to overstrain his heart.

It gets a man out of doors and makes him tired without the danger of excess. Baseball is carried to excess in the base running. A man has to be in good training to run bases well, nnd it is the training that is likely to do. him harm." Dr. George F.

Shrady snid: It li always demoralizing to a man to have his application for a life insurance policy re jected. He rushes off to his family physician and imagines that he is going to die right away. Each applicant imagines that the insurance company passes on his individual case. Nothing of the kind. They decide by a system of averages and take no chances with the individual.

The avr eroges show that men afflicted with air buminuria are bad risks, and they reject them. I have known them to reject men who lived for forty years afterwards. Excessive exercise is almost sure to bring on albuminuria. Men in training for a severe form of sports are, seldom in good health, although they think they are. It is the vital organs and not big muscles that fit a man for a long and healthy life.

A person should not be examined for insurance when he is in training. Anything that calls for Jlrent exertion of muscular force will produce temporary albuminuria. But it is not permanent, and should not, under ordinary circumstances, debar a man from obtaining a life insurance pob icy." BICYCLE TOURING. Pleasant Evenings Spent With Farmers Families On the Road. narper's Round Table.

There are very few peopla of the farming class who, if properly approached, will decline to take you in for the night, provided you are reasonably well dressed, a gentlemanly looking personage, and are rot traveling in a company of more than two, including yourscelf. Y'ou ride along through the day, and toward evening come upon some attractive looking farm house Y'ou approach and ask the mistress if she will take you and your friend in for the night, adding that you are traveling oa a tcur from such a point to such a point, that you will gladly pay for the rest and feed she can give you. In nine cases out of ten she will take you in after a short talk. An evening spent with the farmer and his wife and family, if you enter into tha spirit of the thing, is one of the most enjoyable of evenings, and at the same time one of the most most valuable methods for picking up a knowledge of the people of this country who live out of your immediate sphere. Toward bedtime theyi will probably want to put you in the spare chamber, which, in such homes, means the one unused room of the house.

If you decline and take one of the poorer but frequently used rooms 3'ou will be happier. In any case the mistress of the house will probably think more of yoa and charge you less. Often in the morn ing when you set out to continue your journey the farmer anil his wife will laugh at the idea of payment. In that case it is due to those who come afteij you as well as to yourself that when yol return home you send them something in the nature of a present or remembrance. In this way some very pleasant evenings nre passed, and some attractive acquaint' iuces made, new places are discovered, and new features of the old places found out from day to day, and, over and above all, it is the most inexpensive method ot traveling afoot or awheel that can be imagined.

The car in which president McKinley rode from Canton to Washington is that of J. P. Miller, general superintendent of the western division of the Pennsylvania railroad. It is believed to the most solidly built car in the world and is regarded as collision proof. The walls of seasoned oak are planked solid and without the usual studding.

The car can roll down a fifty-foot embankment and arrive at the bottom safe and sound. In the event of such an emergency, the occupants of the car would not suffer greatly all the sides and ceilings are heavily upnot-stered. In a collision the other cars might lie smashed into splinters, but this one would be uninjured. When all that has been done to render these railroad palaces safe, commodious and comfortable, it would seem as if the combined railroad talent of the country could create for President McKinley a train that would make the whole world niaivel. IT SHORTENS LIF2.

Insurance Companies Awake to Dangers of Bicycle Riding. the New York Yt'orld. A man who applied for a life insurance policy to one of the biggest companies in the country was amazed last week when his application was rejected on the ground that he was suffering from albuminuria. In his mind, as with most other people, this disease was associated with over-indulgence in beer. He had been a total abstainer all his life.

About the only thing he indulged in to excess was bicycle riding. When he niado inquiries about the result of his examination he was told that too much bicycle riding was as bad for the kidneys too much beer. Intemperance in physical exercise counts as much as any other form of intemperance in determining whether a man is a "good risk." This subject was discussed at length at a meeting of the Association of Life Insurance Medical Directors held, in New York last week. Dr. T.

lover Byon, of Ixmdon, secretary of the British Life Insurance Association, took part in the TVr C. Yroung. of Newark, read a paper on albuminuria, in which he said that prolongea puysicai wnu: i tkha disease as frequently as the u-e of alcoholic stimulants. He spoke of bicycling, fencing, boxing, football and other forms of sport or recreation in which people might easily indulge to an excess that would make them bad risks for a life insurance company. 4i Oi stii.nbhng-block of two thirds of the people whose for a life insurance policy are rejected A few years ago it would have been considered absurd to av that lire insurance companies would, under any circumstances, issue a policy to a p-ron afflicted with it.

Rut now it is practically attired that at least three of the hig companies will do eo within a short time. Their medical boards have been devoting a groat deal of attention to the subject, and they have come to the conclusion that under ordinary conditions albuminuria should not bar a mans ability to obtain life insurance. renorter for the Sunday World asked one of" the chief medical directors for the New York Life Insurance Company how bicycle rider should know whether or not he "was riding to excess, and what amount of physical exercise of any character a man might safely take without danger to his kidr.eysi. "He should stop when his heart tells hiro to," was the reply. "If a person rides until he is tired he has ridden a little too far.

She lived in Placer county, not far from where the pretty town of Auburn now stands, for it happened many years ago, in the early sixties, and I expect that but few now residing there have any recollections of the affair.

The family, consisting of her father a. miner her mother and little brother, dwelt in a small shanty erected nnder cover of a convenient ledge. The shanty was a miserable structure of two rooms, but it held what many a grander dwelling failed to contain, a loving household. The mother lay sick with the fever, and Carmen, then a girl of 1U, performed the drudgery of the house. Her little brother, a curly-headed romp of 5, was Carmen's great responsibility.

The father was away from early morning until late at night at his work, and so the little hands of 12 found plenty to do. In common with the custom of miners, the father kept a store of giant powder in the house, which in the present case was contained in a sack placed in an old box that stood by the foot of the bed where lay the sick mother. The upper part of the shanty under the sloping board roof, was utilized as a storage place for old dunnage and rubbish. One night the father was absent in the mine on night work. By some means the shanty took fire, probably from the cracked and defective adobe chimney.

Carmen awoke to find that the roof was afire and sparks droping down. Springing up, she loudly cried to awaken her mother and Tommy, but the little ly became frightened and hid his head beneath, the covers of his bed. Carmen sprang to lift him from the bed when she si.w the shower sparks falling upon the powder box. Recognizing the awful danger, she attempted to leave the child for the moment and carry out the powder, but in her excitement she caught her foot in the overhanging bed clothes and fell to the floor, breaking her thigh bone. Unable to arise, the brave girl crawled to the box of powder, and drawing herself up, covered the box with, her body.

The mother had by this time succeeded in getting out of bed and getting outside the now furiously burning shanty, and managed to take with her the little boy. The cries of Carmen, "Oh, take Tommy out, won't yon!" turned for a time the mother's thought from her daughter's danger. The fire had aroused some of the neighbors, who speedily ran to the burning shanty and lent what aid they could. Carmen was discovered and removed. Her rescuers found her almost hidden beneath a rnnss of burning cinders, her back frightfully burned.

Tender bands bore her to a neighboring shanty, where all that could be done to alleviate her suffering was eagerly bestowed. But human aid came too late. The brave little spirit departed for a brighter land. It was not known until after she had recovered consciousness, a short time lefore she died, that she had broken, her leg. Her.

The wife and children of the minister from Turkey, Mustapha Bey, are living on a beautiful estate on the sunny shores of the Bosphorus, while the ambassador from icy Russia is also compelled to keep bachelor's hall, his family not having yet come to the new world. Several members of Ihe diplomatic corps are resident in New York, while others are single or unaccompanied by their families, so it is an almost impossible task to trace out the membership in full. But there are at the capital a host of little ones whose fathers bare already won fame in the world of diplomacy.

Exchange. A mulo is proverbial for his kicking abilities, and you would hardly believe any living bird could equal him. But a famous traveler tells something about the emu as a kicker. "An emu can kick as hard as a horse. 1 have seen men kicked so hard by this vicious bird that their legs were broken.

If I had my choice of being kicked by a horse or an cm a I think I would take the horse. The emu stands on one leg, and with the other strikes a quick and most paralyzing blow. I never would have believed that a bird had such a power had I not had ocular evidence of it during this trip. After two or three of our men had suffered from the terrible kicks of these birds we did not venture near them, but, after running our horses till we got close enough, would bring them down with our rifles. We did not approach them till we knew they were dead.

"We killed them for their feathers, although they are not so valuable as those cf the ostrich. We also hunted fur th? eggs, which are to be found in the sand, but in doing this we took care not to collide with the emu. The egg are more in demand than the feathers. They are very iM-autiful. and are so tough that it is difficult to break them.
