Northampton England Correspondence of the
San Francisco Chronicle.
An air of boots and shoes pervades the
whole town. The bulk of the work is
done in the mean cottages of the opera
tives, and this conversion of the home
into workshop destroys entirely home
likeness. The frame of the small front
door on either side has q black, greasy
patch, caused by the constant rubbing of
the strings of shoes and fagots of uppers
that are carted in and out of the house in
the course of q year. The door itself has
q similar blackened appearance, and Of
tentimes the wall of the front room.
These, together with the constant tap
ping, as Of some one making collins, are
homes, of Northampton shoemakers. On
the afternoon of any day just preceding
day of rest or national holiday, the
working population seem to be carrying
boots and shoes Of all kinds and in all
conditions, from the stocks of soleless
uppers to the bag or bundle of finished
soles. Paid, unshaven men, with short
clay pipes, smeared faces and smudgy
aprons, hasten to the factory with strings
of boots ready for the finisher. Nor is
the Northamptonshire shoemaker above
making beast of burden of his wife.
Women may be seen in any direction
with immense bundles and
baskets of boots and shoes-likewise the
boys and girls. It must not be supposed
that this industry is carried on in North
ampton the came as with us. The fac
tory SYSTEM is to-day less in favor here
than ever. "And why?I asked Mr..
one of the largest firms in
town. Because" was the prompt reply,
I'VE can manufacture cheaper by giving
out the work and having it done ct the
homes of the men," Many of the largest
firms merely do the cutting of the uppers
and soles on the premises, the closing,
making and finishing being al done of
the premises.

Union Pacific Railroad Matters.

Washington, June 18.-It was an
nounced on the LIST of June at the
Court of Claims, that judgement in the
Union Pacific railway case would be en-
tered, in accordance with complications
made by experts, pursuant to the opinion
of the court, previously rendered and
that the competitor which had then Just
been completed, showed an indebted
ness of something over 81, 100000. Only
1914 miles, comprising the subsidized
portion of the Kansas Pacific branch
were involved in the case, The remain
ing 235 miles of that part Of the Union
Pacific system being non-subsidized and
thus exempt frem claims of the govern
ment.
The earnings of the Kansas Pacific
branch has, however, been kept account
of only as whole and the court decided
as means of ascertaining the amount
due the government at per cent. of the
net earnings of the substituting portion,
that the earnings of the whole branch
should contemplate that rate upon the
mileage basis. subsequent to the an
nouncement of June l. The Attorney
General asked the court to suspend the
entry of judgement, so as to en-
able the government to consider
whether it would accept the ruling of
the Court of Claims in respect to the
basis upon which the Kansas Pacific
Department was to be computed.
It having been suggested that the act
ual earnings of the subsidized road were
proportionally greater than those OF any
other part, and that if the actual earnings
could be ascertained the Government
would be gamer. Pursuant to the re-
quest the entry of judgment was suss
pended.
The agents of the Department of JUS
tice and of the Interior Department have
since investigated the subject thoroughly
and the conclusion has been reached to
make no further contest over this Ques-
ton. This conclusion having been
communicated to the court
the Judgment has to-day been
entered in accordance with the opin-
ion previously announced. The judy
ment is in favor of the Government
for the sum of 81 ,567, sos. Pending the
trial of this case the agents of the
government and of the Union Pacific
entered together upon an investiga-
ton of the accounts to ascertain the
Indebtedness of the road under the
Thurman act and on account of the
s per cent of the net earnings which |
the company was required under the
acts of 1862 and 1854 to pay into the |
United States Treasury. They reached
the conclusion that there was due from |
the the company $4,000, which sum
was paid into the Treasury and it now |
stands as partial off set to
the Judgment of the court. It is also
stated that there is due the company on
account of the earnings of various branch |
roads, not included in the litigation and
on and various other accounts Of minor |
importance, sums which, with the
amount already paid In, will leave q
balance of probably not more than
100000 due the government upon the
Judgment of the court. This case was
begun more than five years ago.

Kit Carson's Biography,

lie wrote his own biography and left
it where the edition will never grow
dim. The alphabet he used was made
OF the rivers, the plains, the forests,
and the eternal heights. He started in
his youth with his face to the West;
started toward where no trails had
been blazed. where there was naught
to meet him but the wilderness. the
wild beast, and the still more savage
man. He made his lonely camps BY
the rivers, and now it is fiction with
those who sleep on the same grounds
that the waters in their flow murmur
the great pathfinder name. He fol-
lowed the water-courses to their sour
ces, and guided by them, learned
where the mountains bent their crests
to make possible highways for the feet
of men. He climbed the mountains
and disputed with the eagles OF the
crags for points of observation; he
met the wild beast and subdued him;
he met the savage of the plains and of
the hills, and. in his own person, gave
him notice of his sovereignty in skill.
in cunning and in courage. To the
red man be was the vol of fate. In
him they saw a materialized foreboding
Of their destiny. To them he was a
voice crying the coming of race
against which they could not prevail;
before which they were to be swept
away. SAT- Lake Tribune.
