A PALACE ON WHEELS
The following description of the
new Pullman sleeping cars makes us
envious of those whose dividends per
mit them to travel across the United
States
The car is the latest thing in palace
sleeping coaches and is roomy and
well arranged It is upholstered in silk
is heavily curtained and mirrored from
one platform door to the other The
drawing room in front is so arranged
that additional berth room is obtained
and it is inclosed by wooden and glass
partitions with a side passage The
scats in the body of the car have high
backs and head rests which fold to
form a pocket for the reception of arti
clcs of clothing while small hammocks
swing against the side of ihe car above
each berth and arc used for collars
cuffs and other articles Another new
feature is the duplex curtain to obviate
the exposure of passengers in lower
berths while others are passing to or
from upper berths The coal box is
placed under the stove in the front end
thus making room for three new lock
ers which contain axes saws oil and
other necessaries I here is a ricw
patent fire extinguisher and the lamps
two fdr each section are of an im
proved nuke Electric bell buttons
are at the sldj of every berth and on
the outside of the car running to the
porters roonv The smpkiric room is
of a new pattern and contains a larger
number of berths than those of the old
Pullman coach All of the fresco
woik and upholstery are in nsvr colors
and are very handsome

THE INTER STATE COMMERCE
BILL
This law which regulates railroad
charges in the United States has pass
cd both branches of Congress and
awaits the Presidents signature It is
thought that the effect of the working
of the law will be to stop low through
rates for goods from the east to the
west coast If this should be the case
our merchants will have to look ahead
and arrange or the Isthmus or Cape
Horn carriers Possibly the Canadian
Pacific Railway people can offer terms
that- will be acceptable to our im
porters
NOTES AND COMMENTS
There are four hundred and eight
princes in Europe No wonder there
is trouble over one vacant throne
The Road Supervisor might experi
ment to advantage with black sand on
top of the coral covering on Liliha
street By sanding a portion of it and
leaving a portion bare it could be as
certained whether the sand woulU pre
vent the conversion of the coral into
mire in a rainy season It is that pro
cess which is reducing the thick coat
ing of coral on Palama road inch by
inch besides making a disagreeable
and heavy surface for travel during
rainfalls
AN ITALIAN ROMANCE
Exiled Because He Was a Rival of
Victor Emanuel
New York January 29 Roberto
Prati Marquis of Rovagruiesa died in
an Uptown tenement on Wednesday
In 1845 when 20 he entered thearmy
of Victor TJmanuql and rose rapidly
until he became major on the staff of
the King iA 1856 At court the Mar
quis wife was lavish in entertainments
and gossip soort talked of the Kings
attentions to her The result was a
separation of the young couple Then
the fascinating Countess Milliflores ap
peared on the scene and the King fell
before her charms but the countess
was more attracted by Prati then a
handsome officer six feet tall a skill
ful swordsman and a man of charming1
manners The Kings ambition for
the crown of Italy did not blind him
to the countess liking for the Marquis
and an unfortunate remark of the lat
ter hastened the catastrophe lie vtas
summoned to the presence of the Min
ister of War and informed that the
KinR would cive him a pension of 60
a month if he would exile himself If
he refused he would be in a dunccon
in twenty four hours
Prati had no alternative He re
signed his commission on the spot and
broke his sword 1 hen he came to
this country and soon spent the re
mainder of his inheritance The pen
sion promised him by the King was
rccularly paid After several attempts
to make n living by giving lessons in
Italian and Lrcncb he got a position
as Deputy Marshal and interpreter in
the Mayor s office On the death of
the King Pratis pension was stopped
and he lost his position in the Mayors
office For the last few years of his
life he earned a scanty subsistence by
giving lessons in French and Italian
His wife died in Italy twenty years ago
and then he married Harriet McQuade
of Orange N J She died about seven
years ago leaving inrcc cnuurcn nm
long ago King Humbert hearing that
the Marquis was in needy circum
stances sent him 600
NINATU ISLAND
Wonderful Outbreak of Natures Hidden
Forces
The story of a wonderful volcanic
outbreak oh the little island of Ninatu
situated in a close proximity to the
Friendly group in the South Pacific
ocean was yesterday narrated by a
sailor to a Chronicle reporter
The man had been serving on the
colonial steamer Suva which ply from
Leonka Fiji around the South Sea
islands and was on the steamer when
she visited the scene of the disaster
The main incidents were told to him
by a trader who was on the island
The island of Ninatu is small and of
a round shape In its center there
used to be a large clear lake studded
with islets and jt looked as if the lake
occupied the crater of some extinct
volcano A very lovely spot was this
island before the eruption covered as
it was with vegetation cocoanut trees
bananas bread fruits and gardens
where the natives cultivated patches of
yams taro and sweet potatoes But
now it looks like a great gray mass of
volcanic rock covered with ashes and
lava
On the night of August 28 1S86 the
natives were startled by earthquake
shocks heavy lightning and thunder
and rain They were so scared that
the six villages on the cast side of the
island were abandoned and in com
pany with three white traders the na
tives went to the lee or west shore
The quakes and storm continued for
three days and on the 31st of Augvst
a huge pillar of flame shot up from the
center of the lake accompanied by
columns of boiling water and showers
of stones and pumice The waters of
the lake boiled and seethed and then
from its bosom a cone of land started
up Four craters upon this new up
heaval began to vomit fire stones
ashes and scoria covering the island
and burning up every particle of vege
tation This war of the elements con
tinued for ten days and everything was
covered with volcanic dust to a depth
of many feet A canoe which the na
tives used to go across to another
island for shelter was buried thirty feet
under ashes and lava and they had
just succeeded in digging it out when
the steamer Suva hove in sight It
was found that the natives had but five
days provisions and that although the
volcanic convulsions had ceased they
were very much frightened As the
Suva could not carry many passengers
she went over to Tonga and two
schooners were dispatched to the relief
of the sufferers A plentiful supply of
breadfruits bananas taro and yams
were taken and the natives will be
transported to other islands as the en
tire crop of their lands on Ninatu has
been destroyed
The captain of the Suva sounded all
round the island and ascertained that
the water in the harbor had increased
in depth Land and sea biids that
were numerous before the eruption had
entirely deserted the island and where
was a smiling landscape is now a deso
late lava and pumice covered scene
Volumes of steam were ascending from
tlje lake when the Suva left on her re
turn trip to Fiji 5 F Chronicle
To Think Of
The Berlin Weekly Echo offers a
paize of 20 marks for the briefest and
wittiest answer to the following
drum which might have been pro
pounded by the author of Ihe Lady
or the Tiger A young spendthrilt
who is able to borrow money only be
cause his affianced has promised to
pay his debts after the wedding falls
into a river together with her before
the wedding has taken place and bojh
are on the point of being drowned A
miserly creditor of the young man hap
pens to pass jumps into the water and
saves whom and why
Germany lino made arrangements to
at once erect barracks at various points
along the French frontier thus answer
ing the Irench as a dispatch from
Berlin giving the intelligence says with
barracks and forts arrayed
