EASY RIDING OUT WEST The Eeolining Chair Oar That Costs Nothing Noth-ing Extra The Cost of the Pull- . man Palace Sleeper. WESTEEN ROADS AHEAD OP EAST. i There is No Extra Charge for the Use of tha Cars and They Are Very Comfortable. . Western railroads have a kind of car which is not seen on ny of the principal eastern lines. It is the reclining chair car; not the kind that the Pullman and Wagner companies make and charge an extra fare for the use of, but a car that will hold almost as many passengers as the ordinary car, and tliut has chub's instead in-stead of the ordinary seats. No extra charge is mode for traveling in these cars. Almost all the railroads running out of Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis and other western cities put one of theso cars on wery passengor train. The cars are familiar fa-miliar enough to western people, wno have been accustomed to them for yeare, but somehow none of them have got east. Inside the car there is a center aisle, just as there is in Pullman and ordinary passenger cars. On each sido of this aisle are the chairs, two abreast. They are something like steamer chairs, only they are of iron, cushioned mid longer, and have a small pillow, at the top. They are also more readily adjusted than steamer chairs, nind can be turned, raised or lowered by-a simple cog arrangement. ar-rangement. ' COMFORTABLE LOUNOES. When a passenger wants to sit up straight and read, he has the porter of the car peg the chair up to any height or angle that ho wishes. When he wants to sleep he lets the back of the chair down and props the pillow under his head. The chair also has an adjustable foot rest, which may. be foldod under, used as a stool, or put up on a level with the seat, so that when the back of the chair is lowered it makes a couch more comfortable than many lounges. When the chairs are lowered they cannot be . turned readily on account of the luck of epace, but when they ore up they turn pretty freely. These chairs in many ways are preferable prefer-able to tho ordinary chairs that the Pullman Pull-man and other companies furnislL One can sleep in them with some degree of comfort, which is more than most people peo-ple can do in the Pullman chair. Another An-other advantage which appeals to the public is that there is no charge made for them, and that tho porter is forbidden forbid-den to make any charge. If ho does any extra service for the passengers he is willing to receive a tip for it, but ten cents is a reasonable tip, and fifteen cents is a lavish tip, where twenty-five and fifty cents are the corresponding 6uins on a Pullman or a Wagner car. WESTlJRN VS. EASTERN CARS. These cars have a smoking room, not as gorgeous as the parlor cars, but a very comfortable room. The seats are covered with leather instead of plush, and the wood finish is plain instead of elaborate. The cars are for all passengers, passen-gers, but in a certain order of preference. They are first for women, after that for men who are going some distance, and then for passengers who are going over a division. A passenger who is going only twenty-five or fifty miles is not allowed al-lowed to ride in a chair car if there are other passengers who are going to ride longer distances. The principal trains on the western rcvvls are run at night The roads to St. Paul, Minneapolis, St Louis, Kansas j City and Omaha out of Chicago start their important trains in the evening ' and bring them to their destination in j the mcming. So it is with the return trains. There are several roads between ' these places, and they are competing ' roads, not closely pooled as in the east j The average rate of transportation is I lower, aud the regard for the passenger and his comfort is greater than on eastern east-ern roads, where there is no competition. Chair cars are put on these night trains as well as on the day trains, ia order that passengers who will not pay $3 for a berth in a sleeper may not have to sit ; op all night in the straight backed seats, j This divides the passengers into three ! classes the passengers who pay extra for I their accommodation, the chair car passengers pas-sengers and the ordinary car passengers. The ordinary cars are not as good as the ordinary cars on the eastern express trains, but they are good enough per- |
