This is what every traveler will admit who intrusts himself to the hospitality of the Southern Pacific Sunset Route, and, boardir that acme of solid vestibuled trains, “Sunset Limited,” gives himself up to the deiights of a three days’ run in the dial-track of the great orb of day. Every varicty of scenic beauty unfolds itself to the vision of the passenger over this steel high- way in a sixty-hour ttip from the Gult coast to the Pacific ocezn; while every ac- commcdation and comfort conceivable is found in the most luxuriously appointed cars which make up this finest and fastest railway train in existence. The course of this cross-contineat trip being altogether below the frost lire, the traveler is in- sured a perfect journey under continuously sunny skies, while the invalid will encoun- ter only the most salubrious air even in the dead of winter. Leaving New Orleans at 8 a.m. every Thursday, on and after No- vember 1, this speedy, sumptuous and safe anni).ilator of distance makes Los Angeles in two and one-half days and San Francisco in but three and one-quarter days. “Sunset Limited” comprises a composite bath, ton- sorial parlor, cafe and library car, the finest Pullman sleepers and drawing room ecaches and a dining car, which in its service and cuisine leaves nothing to be desired. One trip by “Sunset Limited” in one of its famous overiand flights is worth all the journeys of riodern travel. B. B. Barber, agt., 209 E. German st., Baltimore. E. Hawley, asst. G. T. New York. S.

Fite vt jconie Exhibit. There are p: is in the history of art and Mterature when our modern idols are cast aside for the moment and the capri- cious mind reverts to the idols of the past.

TRYING TO START ee CARS. AGREEMENT REACHED Strike on Metropolitan Road Was Quickly Settled. BOTH LINES WERE TIED UP Then the Company Offered to Meet the Men. AMICABLY ADJUSTED Yesterday drivers and conductors of the Metropolitan Railroad Company, whose wages had been reduced 17 per cent, in- dulged in a full-fledged strike late in the afternoon, the like of which has seldom been seen in Washington. For over two hours, during a portion of the day when travel on the road is heaviest, the F street line was blockaded and then, amid con- siderable excitement, the cars were taken to the sheds and travel suspended during the remainder of the night. Just as the precession of F street cars was started toward the stables the employes of the 9th street line struck and the cars of that line were blocked at F street, but the latter tie-up did not continue for any length of time. The action of the employes resulted in a compromise with the company as re- gards wages and now things are running as smoothly as though nothing had hap- pened. During the day the majority of the em- ployes of the road were seen by certain otbers and they agreed on a tie-up in front of the Ebbitt House shortly after 4 o'clock. As car No. 12, going west, and car No. 26, going east, met in front of the Adams building, near the corner of 14th and F streets, the drivers slapped on their brakes, tied the reins abou: the brake- handles and stepped off the platforms, fol- lcwed by the conductors. A momant later another westbound car had come to a standstill directly in th rear of car No. 12, and thea one after another the cars lined up until they extended for several squares in both directions. In the mean- time a crowd had gathered about cars No. 12 and 26. The government depar ments had just closed for the day and thousands of clerks, as well as the daily promenade contingent that is a feature of F street, were at the scene. A dozen drivers and conductors took their stand on the track in front of car No. 12, and freely discussed the situation. If this car is moved it will have to go over my dead body,” said one. “I'd like to see any oie atiempt to start it,” added a stalwart driver. ‘The crowd by this time had completely blockaded travel and a score of police- men endeavored to force the people back to the sidewalks, but their efforts proved unavailug. Every one, it seemed, wished to get as near as possible to the miniature mass meeting in progress directly in front of car No. 32. The men, while awaiting developments, freely gave vent to their feelings. “We do not intend to be disorderly or to violate >ry law,” said an intelligent-look- ing ec.:uctor to a police sergeant, who just en went up to inquire as to the trouble. “We simply want our rights and intend to have them. We cannot afford to work as we are required to for any lower wages and the company must give in.” Others in the gathering recited their woes at length, and that the sympathy of the spectators was with the drivers and con- ductors could not be doubted for an in- stant. The crowd had now increased in numbers to such an extent that the po- lice were unable to control it, and a ser- geant telephoned for assistance. In a few moments a patrol wagon, with its bell clanging, dashed around the corner and a score of officers alighted. President Phillips’ Efforts. President Samuel Phillips of the raflroad company hastened to the scene of the tie- up as soon as he was informed of the same. He was immediately recognized by many persons in the crowd, and a throng followed at his heels during the remainder of the afternoon. At very frequent inter- vals Mr. Phillips was made the butt of the most derisive and uncomplimentary sayings. After being assured by the driver of car No. 12, that he would not take his conveyance through, the president of the road passed down the line. “Will you drive that front car?” Mr. Phillips asked an aged driver. “I will not,” was the prompt and em- phatic reply. “How long have you been in the employ of the company?” then asked Mr. Phillips. “For eighteen years,” was the answer from the driver. “And yet you do not possess sufficient faith to stick by your employers now?” was the next query from the president. “I will not drive that car,” was the de- cided answer, and the spectators applauded and shouted. A Star reporter at this point asked Mr. Phillips what the company intended to do toward moving the cars. “Oh, we'll start them all right after while,” said he. “Il would like to see Maj. Moore or some one in charge of the po- lice.” “Why don’t you start your cars now,” a man in the crowd shouted, in a sarcastic tone. “We'll help you along—I don't think.” “I'll help to hold back," came from sev- eral others. Mr. Phillips smiled pleasantly, but his position was not an enviable one, and it wes evident that he was at a loss as to the next step to take. He further sald to a Star reporter that he could not tell what would be done. He desired, first, to get the street cleared of cars, and then the company would meet a committee of the men. The crowd had been augmented by the audience from the matinee performance at the New National Theater, and pedes- trianism and the passing of vehicles in the vicinity of 14th and F streets was well nigh impossible. In their efforts to pre- vent trouble of any character the drivers and conductors repeatedly requasted the crowd to stand back, if order that herdics and other conveyances might have a free passage. Several times the spectators unfastened the harness of the horses at- tached to car No. 12, but as soon as such was discovered the driver immediately re- fastened it. By these acts the employes of the road showed plainly that their only intention was to refuse to work until reg- ular wages were restored. Starting a Car. Mr. Phillips shortly after forced his way through the crowd, followed by a young man wearing the uniform cap of the com- pany. The latter mounted the front plat- form, untied the reins and’ made other preparations to start the car. The crowd surged forward. “Baby, go home to your mamma.” “Scab.” “Pull him ‘off of there.” “Traitor.” Those were a few of the remarks that were shouted. In reply to a question from Pres- ident Phillips the young man who essayed to start the car gave his name as C. Taft. The remarks of the crowd evidently intimi- datea him, for he refused to proceed until two policemen mcunted the platform. ‘The crowd was shoved backward a few steps d the car started. It had gone but a few steps when the multitude once more push- ed forward and completely blocked its pro- gress. At this moment matters appeared threatening. Detective Lacey, a colored man, attired in citizen's clothes, vigorously shoved a white boy away from the head cf one of the horses. : “Look at that man pushing that Loy,” indignantly shouted a well-dressed man, and the multitude surged in the direction of Lacey, but a dozen or more policemen concentrated at that point, and what look- ed like trouble was thereby averted. Once more the car started, this time with a big policeman running in front of the horses, with policemen standing on the front and rear platforms, with policemen running along the sides of the car and with a shouting concourse following. The car turned into 14th street and proceeded about Tarning a Car. half a block, when two boys, mounted on hill horses, deliberately guided their steeds in front of car No. 12, and once more it came to a standstill, much to the joy of the spectators. With the assistance of addi- tional policemen the car was finally started and not again interfered with, although hundreds of persons followed it for several squares. Cars All In. Night had now fallen, and the crowd, in- stead of diminishing, increased materially. In order to keep the street clear to some extent, a patrol wagon constantly dashed along from 13th street to 14th street. Af- ter the lapse of fifteen minutes, the second car was started and it met with no notice- able opposition. President Phillips and a number of assistants were occupied in finding new men to take the cars to the stable, while a certain element in the crowd amused themselves very much by passing down the line of stalled cars and lifting them from the tracks, much to the chagrin of the police, who apparently were unable to cope with the emergency. After five or six more cars had started stable- Guarding a Driver. rd with new men at the helm, the re- ‘mainder of the drivers followed in their wake without further efforts to cause de- lay, it having been passed down the line that the company would confer with the men, and at 6:10 o'clock the last car in the line moved forward. Five minutes later all was quiet, no signs of the recent ex- citement remaining. When matters had quieted down on F street, word was received that the em- ployes on the 9th street line had also struck. President Phillips and the police immediately proceeded to the scene of the new tie-up. There matters were soon set- tled, however, for Mr. Phillips requested the drivers to take the cars to the stables and then they would discuss the matter. His request was complied with. The delay on 9th street seriously interfered with the movements of the Anacostia cars, which, for a short distance, traverse the tracks of the Metropolitan company. Meeting Held. A meeting of the striking conductors and drivers was called to order last evening at 9 o'clock in the big hall of the Riding Academy on P street by Conductor Walter Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins was unanimously elected chairman of the meeting, and he introduced Mr. James A. Power of the American Federation of Labor. In a brief speech Mr, Power assured his hearers of the sympathy of the Federation of Labor and of the active co-operation of the Wash- ington See Union. He added es I Am So Nervous Many women say. “TI cannot sleep. ¥ have no appetite. I cannot work.” Such a condition as this 1s due to impoverished and impure blood, which 1s not the right kind to give strength to the nerves and digestive organs. Let the blood be purified, enriched and vitalized with Hood’ Sarsaparilla and all this nervousness, sleeplessness and loss of appetite will disappear. Hood’s Sarsaparilia Cures “Three years ago I was taken with nervous prostration. I bad heard of Hood's Sarsaparilia and thought I would try it. As soon as I began taking it I began to get better, and now i do all my work.” ROXANNA DUNN, Cast¥e, New York. HOOD'S PILLS are purely vegetable, 2c. that the hall in Typographical Temple was at the disposa}, free of rent, of the con- potery and drivers. Mr. Powe terized the strike as the most re: for quickness and completeness had ever heard of, and to get together and to stay a eral others made remarks, fter con- siderable discussion a committee, com- rising Mr. Sturgis, chairman, and Messrs. ower, Thomas, Dent, Amiss, Guinn and Redman, was appointed to demand of Mr. Phillips a return to the old schedule and the old wages. Agreement Reached. The committee repaired to Mr. Phillips’ Office, but the president was not there. He appeared shortly after, however, and a conference was held. The committee made its demand and then Mr. Phillips made a long speech, during which he stated that the company is in a desperate financial condition. According to Mr. Phillips the lsst dividend declared by the company was paid from the personal funds of one of the directors; the company has but $8,000 in bank at the present time; the cars have been running at a loss of $85 per day; and $15,000 interest must be paid on January 1, with but $8,000 with which to meet it. He declared that it is utterly impossible to re- store the old wages, and closed by saying that the men must either work on reduced Wages or drive the company into bank- ruptey. After consultation the committee made propositions to Mr. Phillips in effect as follows: The men are to be put as nearly as possible on the same footing, with a twelve-hour schedule ag near as can be practically arrang the twelve-hour schedule, including Sundays and week-days, to call for $1.75 per day. No men are to be discharged because af the strike; those al- ready discharged are to be taken back and awnings are to be placed on all the cars. Mr. Phillips agreed to the propositions submitted and the committee reported that fact to tho meeting at the Riding Academy. The understanding was that the cars should start as usual this morning. A meeting of the railroad employes of the District will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in Typographical ‘temple for the purpose of organizing a street railway operatives’ union, Running Today. When the schedule time for the com- mencement of trips of the cars on the Metropolitan railroad arrived this morn- ing the old drivers and coaductors were on hand ready to take them out. There was no delay, and, apparently, no dissatisfac- tion on the part of either the company officials or the employes who had taken such a determined stand against the action of the corporation yesterday evening. The latter, indeed, seemed to be quite cheerful over the result of their strike, and gener- ally expressed their belief that the com- pany would keep its promise about restor- ing their wages as soon as it was able. The cars have been running regularly all day, and seem to be patronized as well as they were before the reduction of the men’s wages caused such general public indigna- tion and made many of the former patrons of the company ride upon other lines. At the offices of the company, at the P street bridge, this afternoon, Superintendent Lowry said that .everything was running as smoothly as before yesterday's exciting episode, and that all of the old men were at work, and would continue to hold their places, charac- vkable t he OITY ITEMS.
