Pool to Succeed the Traffic
Association
The Details Now Being Agreed Upon
in Chicago With Small Pros

aHe Northeastern Pool.
| Special Telegram to the Globe.

CHICAGO, March At was learned posi-
members of the Northwestern Traffic asso-
citation have agreed to reconstruct the asso-
citation into pool, and everything promises
well for the consummation Of the plan.
It could not be learned definitely whether it
would be money or tonnage pool, but all
probabilities point toward the former. This
happy issue out Of the troubles which
threatened the northwest lines will
be hailed with satisfaction and
will exert great influence in the settling
up of complications which exist and which
are threatened in other portions Of the west.
Commissioner Carman, Of the Northwestern
Traffic association, will naturally be at the
head of the pool which takes its place.
The arrangements of details for the new or
ganization are in progress and will probably
be completed to morrow or Thursday The
general freight agents of the several lines,
in whose hands the matter has
been left, were in session all
day at Commissioner Carman's Office, and
material progress has been made. To-day
the discussion of rules and regulations, and
the division Of territory occupied the entire
time, and. these matters have been prac-
tically agreed upon. The only question
upon which there may be possible differ
enceis that of percentages, and everything
would indicate that there will be an annie
able solution of this usually knotty problem.
The meeting will be resumed at 9 o'clock to-
morrow morning.

Special Telegram to the Globe. |

MILWAUKEE, March 4.-The announce
ment of Robert Antisdell's
appointment as general super
intendent of the northwestern division Of
the American Express company, create
quite a sensation in commercial circles, as
it will cause the headquarters of this large d.
vision to be changed from Chicago to Milwau
kee. The promotions is an important one, and
places Mr.. Antisdel at the head Of division
that embraces the states of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska,
Dakota, Michigan and the province of Mani
toba. The change necessitates changes of
importance in all divisions of the company
among its officers and employees. A. j.
Cooper, whom Mr.. Antisdel succeeds, has
been made assistant general superintendent
of the Wells-Fargo company and will make
his headquarters in San Francisco. Mr. Han
cock, formerly American express agent at
Council Bluffs, has been made superinten-
dent of all the Wells-Fargo q Co.'s territory,
east of the Rocky mountains, and will still
keep his headquarters at the Bluffs. Mr..
Antisdel will go to Chicago tomorrow to
arrange local appointments and later will
visit st. Paul and other important centers in
his division, to make appointments and sys-
tematize the business. The appointments
were made last Saturday, out were kept quiet
until last night. A Chicago man
will probably be appointed division
agent for Wisconsin. W. H. Dodsworth is
the new city agent for Milwaukee. Mr.. An
tisdel has been the resident manager of the
company here for fifteen years and is very
popular. He is about so years of age. The
change not only effects the American ex-
press all over the country but also means
reorganization Of the Wells-Fargo Co.

fsYes, I'm pretty well fixed in life, now"
said an Indianian to his companion on a
Chicago and Atlantic train, ''and all have
I owe to ex-senator Dorsey" ''sHow was
that?n ''Well, four years ago you remember

be surprised to see what proper food, rest,

HOUSEHOLD sUPERsTITIoNs.
Some of the Queer Fancies Entertained by
Good People.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.


A favorite superstition in many parts of
this country, is the one concerning new hous-
es; that it is unlucky to build a new house,
since the coffin of the builder will be the first
one carried out at the door. Hence, in many
parts of the southern states additions will be
made to the old house as long as practicable
rather than resort to building an entirely
new structure. The superstition, perhaps,
arose from the fact that so many retired mer-
chants erect fine houses only to die in them
as soon as they are finished. This is often
the case, but no supernatural reason is need
ed to account for the occurrence. The mer-
chant has up to that time been engaged in
active pursuits, has never been idle in his
life, and as long as his new house is build
ing he has occupation even though he may
have retired from business. But when the
house is done he has nothing to do and moth
ing to think of but his ailments and inirmi-
ties, consequently thinks of them a great
deal, soon loses his courage and dies.
Splitting the salt on the table is peculiar
ly bad omen, and, contrary to most of these
superstitions, has a definite reason for its
own existence. Salt is the emblem of hos
pitality, of friendship, of good-fellowship,
and when salt is spilled on the table the
friendship is supposed to be in danger of be-
ing broken. Like other superstitious
fancies a sufficient number of instances of
the verifcation of the ill-omen have been
found and recorded to inspire popular relief
in the reliability of the sign, and it is there
fore respected even more than most others
of its kind.
SO far as number is concerned, the most
numerous class of superstitions is COM
posed OF those which csluster round the can
dies. The origin of these probably dates far
back in antiquity, when the world was full of
superstitious fancies about light in general
and candle light in particular. When we
come down'to the early days of the Christian
Church. however, we find that not few of
the ordinances of religion were accompanied
by ceremonies borrowed from Paganism. in
which lighted candles played an important
part. Candles were lighted at birth to keen

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-A young man
whose face bore marks of dissipation oc-
cupied two seats in a Third avenue car
last night. When the conductor asked
for his fair he refused with an oath to
pay it. .....-...a,. ...s..,.
A soldierly looking man with gray
beard got into the car at Houston street.
Better pay the conductor, young man."
said the gentleman in a mild tone, "and
you'll avoid trouble"
sect out, you - - farmer.
What the - have you to say about
this racket"
"Pll show you, you young ruffian,"
said the old man as he seized the rough
by the collar and pulled the bell strap.
Then the old man hauled the fellow to
the sidewalk and took him to the central
office in Mulberry street. The prisoner
was Jeremiah Sullivan, Of rs Prince
street. The gray bearded old man was
George W. Walling, chief of police.
