Restoring California Rates.

CHICAGO. April 23.-The Union Pacific
and Burlington q Missouri roads yester-
day abandoned rebates on transcontinental
passenger rates. and also made a further
advance on fares. \ circular was issued
by the roads named, giving notice that,
commencing April %, rates from the Mis-
souri, river to California points would be in
creased to the following figures: First class
unlimited. 500; first class limited, $50;
second class, or emigrant, S35. These
rates are without rebate, and will take the
place of all one way round-trip rates hereto
fore announced to California. The attempt
to advance tranScOntnental freight rates
west-bOund has not been much
of a success. The adverse action
of the Union Pacific and the
Wabash has been an obstacle that none of
the roads could remove and as a conse-
quence the majority Of them still use the
thirty-cent rate. The Burlington, however.
which has a long haul on California freight,
sticks to the agreement and charges for all
freight so per cent, of the Old tariff. The
road gets no freight. but that is regarded
as its gain rather than its loss. In setting
the minimum at so cents, the freight
agents. when making the increase yester-
day, cut the Portland (Or.) rate 10 cents on
minimum classes, as it has been held at Go
cents during the war. The matter was
remedied to-day by restoring the siXty-fve-
cent minimum upon shipments TO Oregon.

RAIL AND RIVER.
The Northern Pacific TO Improve
Yellowstone Park.
Mails to be Carried on the milwaukee
Limited.
The Yellowstone Park.

The Northern Pacific road has evidently
determined that the great Yellowstone
Park, that wonderfully attractive country
on the line of its road, shall be made still
more attractive TO tourists, and that the ac-
commodations for visitors shall be made as
convenient as il is possible TO render them.
1t was mentioned i'm the GLOBE several
days ago that company had been formed,
called the Yellowstone Park association,
for the purpose of improving the accom-
modations at the park. The persons who
| constitute this company are Charles Gibson
and John ID. Perry of ST. Louis,
T. B. Casey of Minneapolis. NJ. ID. Car
rington of Toledo. o.. Charles b. Wright
and JOnn c. Bullet of Philadelphia and
Frederick Billings of Woodstock, VT.
These gentlemen have obtained from the
secretary of the interior lease providing
for the constructions of six hotels. the rum
ming of stage lines. the construction and
operation of steamboats, on Yellowstone
lake, with a view generally Of providing for
the comfort of tourists. Some weeks ago
large quantities of lumber and all kinds of
material needed for the work i'm hand went
out to the park, and at the present time the
company has large force of men actively
engaged on the proposed improvements. Ii
is proposed 10 construct road from upper
geySer basin via ShOShOne lake To the west
thumb of Yellowstone lake and thence to
the outlet of Yellowstone lake and other
roads, so that the tourist can make
complete tour of the park without being
compelled to double back over the same
road, as he is now obliged TO do. The park
is fast becoming the great game preserve of
the continent and under the rigid enforce
ment of the law by Col. Wear, the sUperin-
tendent, large herds of elk antelope and
mountain buffalo have gathered in this
their only refuge from that general slaugh-
ter which has progressed so rapidly of late
years. 1t is claimed that the only herds of
buffalo remaining on the continent are in
the park in the vicinity of Old Faithful
geySer. The prospect now is that the
tourist business this season will be very
large. The hotels will open June 10.

Mackay-Bennett Cables.

Washington Letter: Boanza Mac
kay, am told, is succeeding far beyond
his hopes in the management of his
cable lines and the Postal Telegraph
Company. He will sail in a dav or
two for Europe, but is now giving his
time every day to his rapidly-increas-
ing business. A gentleman who is in
timately associated with Mackay saws
his cable company is earning S4,7OO a
day, and, as soon as the overland line
| to New Orleans is built, will increase
this to Sc, 700 a day. New Orleans is
strange as it may seem, the best cable
town in the United States outside of
New York. Her merchants do a vast
direct business abroad. Chicago, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, San Francisco-none
of them equal New Orleans. Mackav' $
cables are capitalized at sS,OOO,OO
while his competitors are watered up to
S60,UO0,O00. AT the same time he is
doing nearly as much business as all
OF them. And the earnings are nearly
all his own. He owns 100000 of
the cable stock. James Gordon Ben
nett 100000, and two other stock
holders 100000 between them. The
greatest loss has been some 5000 the
last year to repair a break. Besides all
this Mackay owns patents that enable
him to cut rates clear from under the
other fellows. His operators do not
have to catch and translate flashes Of
lightning, but sit down to a desk and
take messages from tape as easily as
from an ordinary ticker. His office is
on the corner of Broad and Wall streets
in New York, the site of the first tele-
graph office in the United States There
the messages are received direct from
across the Atlantic, without relaying
from the shore end. The cables come
over the Brooklyn bridge down to the
office just as any other cable would.
The instrument by which messages
| are received is an ingenious one
A glass pen, with an atmospheric pres
sure reservoir of ink, is suspended be-
tween two magnets. On the glass pen
is small piece Of metal, which the
current on either magnet attracts
This produces on a tape 4 fine wavcring
line in which short curves represent
dots and long ones dashrs. This is all
there is Of it. An operator transcribcs
the message on the tape as he would
from sound or an ordinary receiver
Across the desk, separated by Il glass
partition, sits another operator sending
message on the same cable. BY all
this ingenious mechanism Mr.. Mackay
is adding with marvellous rapidity to
his already marvellous fortune

WRITE THEN A LETTER TONIGHT,

And good long letter*write-
Write to the sad old folks at home

With folded hands and dOwncast eyes.
And think Of the absent one.
Don't self1shly scribble: Excuse nv haste

To many by-gone night,
When they lost their needed sleep and rest
And every breath was prayer
That God would save their deli cate babe

For the heart grows strangely sensitive

You never forget them quite
That you deemed 1t a pleasure when far

Long letters home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy
friends
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thoughts for you
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty Of writing do not put off,
Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they looked and

For the sad old folks at home,
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing to hear of the absent one

icent in the expression of emotion,
there is some reason to believe that
even in such cases the survivors feel a
grief they do not exhibit. Occasion
ally terrible wailing is raised over a
dead body, and is kept up for many
days, sometimes even after the funer-
al.
The ceremonies of burial differ slight
~ IN each case; but the bodies are gen .
orally wrapped in the hammock which
belonged to it when living, is put into
hole dug in the house and lined with
palm leaves. If the hole is large
enough the body is buried in a sitting
position, or, in the case Of the Ackawoi,
in standing position: but if. as some
times happens, the survivors do not
trouble themselves to dig large hole.
the body is bent and placed in any
position that may be most convenient.
1t is said that the true Caribs were
in the habit Of cleaning and preserving
the bones of their dead relations in
their houses; but they certainly do this
no longer. Various properties of the
deceased are put into the grave
Schomburgk mentions curious case
of man who had been, or was sup
posed to have been murdered, into
whose grave cord was put with which
he might bind his murderer should
he meet hin. on the further side of the
grave. 1t is to he feared that the re-
spect for the grave has now dimin-
ishcd, for if the hammock in which the
body is wrapped happens to be new or
good it is now not unfrequently with
drawn from the body. The grave is
then filed in and a fire is made over it;
feast is celebrated with dancing,
drinking, and singing of songs in
which the good qualities of the de-
ceased are lamented, and the house is
then deserted forever.
