MULES FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Englund Purchasing In This Country
fur Smith Africa.
Ou Duard S. 8. Mixttx-xumo, New Or-l-ans,
Oct 21. Tomorrow morning this
ship will sail for Cape Town, South
Africa, with th largest carg.i ,f ;i'-e
stink that ever left this country, or fori
that matter any other. Among her car
go will be 2,029 mule destined tor the
use of the British troops in their cam
pnlgn against the Hoer. Five hundred;
daUd with standing room on the upper,
deck. Seven hundred and fifty morei
are quartered on the 'twwn deck, and
a like number win stew to aeatn on
the cattle deck.
In front of the Une of mulvs rung a.
hay rack and waUr trough, the formef
vi which us nu 11 a irom
gangway run
ning the whole kngth of the ship, while!
through the latter, except whin the
mules are eating from It their ration
ot grain, water Is continually running.
To the rear of the line runs, another
gangway used for cleaning and bed
ding. Each pen, which I nine feet feet
wide, contains five mule.
The dally ration for each mult Is
twelve pounds of hay, five pounds of
oat and an equal amount of corn bran
and 56 pounds of water. To Insure
sufficient supply of fodder the Monte.
uma carries thlity-elffht ears of fair
No 2 timothy hay, six cars of oats and
eight of bran. Their drink will be
Mississippi river water, 3.000 tons of
which are stiyyed In the thirteen water
tight compartments Into which the hold
is divided. This water also serves as
ballast to counteract the heavy deck
load, so as fast a the tank Is emptied
It will be refilled with sen. water In
order to keep the vtwel on an even keel.
As far tin comfort Is concerned, the
mules on1 the upper dock will have
much the best of their companions be
low, but their position, should the boat
encounter a bud storm, Is dangvrous,
for If no', washed overboard by heavy
seas thoy would probably be sacrificed
to Insure the safety of the ship, though
If the voyage Is a calm one fully 90 per
cent of these should be safely landed.
Those on the 'tween deck will get a
reasonable amount of air and will be
safe In heavy weather, so probably SO
per cent of them will live to trend
African soil. But though over fifty tons
ot sawdust has been used to Insulate
the boilers, the heat of tho cattle deck
when passing throuph the tropics will
be Intense, so It Is not probable that
over a third of its occupants will sur
vive the voyage.
Next to the Oceanic of the White
Star Line the Moulesuma is the largvat

IMPROVED TOURIST SLEEPERS, ,
. -
Railroads Am Acceding to Demand Ot
Middle Classes Who Want Better
Sleeptng-Car Service.
In response to the demands of the
times the O. R. ft N. and it connec
tions are placing In operation a much
better grade of tourist sleeper for Pa
cini coet service than at any prevlou
time. The largely Increased traffic to
Ihl section of the country ha demand
ed all the Improvements of latter-day
transportation, and In consideration of
thl the railroads are establishing a
service which Is excellent In every par
ticular, Not only are the wishee ot
first -does passenger served, but those
who are traveling to and from the East
on second-claw tickets are splendidly
cared for. There wa a time when a
tourist sleeper appealed to a limited
number of people who were traveling
on the "cheap" order, in every meaning
of the term. Now, however, there ha
been a radical change. With the bet
ter tourist sleeper in operation thr
class of passengers has been Improved,
and one may now travel upon them
and enjoy all the privilege of a first
class sleeper at a great el y reduced rate.
Dally, on the O. R. ft N. east-bound
fast mail, Is attached one of these lat
eat Improved tourist sleeper, a model
of beauty and handsome appointment.
The new cars are almost an exact
counterpart of the finrt-claaa sleeper, i
One noticeable feature of the new
tourist car Is th absence of a smoking
apartment The new car being built
bv the Pullman Company are not pro
vided with smoking apartments. Thl
new departure has been taken because
of the fact that imet through train
are provided with composite cars, which
provide a smoker for the sleeping-car
pasaenger.
