Seismic Study.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 22.-The syste-
matte study of the great mass Of earth
quake returns gathered by correspond
ents of the geological survey from all
portions of the area affected by the
recent conyulsions is about to be un-
dertaken by officials of the survey
under the supervision of Capt. Clar-
encc T.. Dutton, United States ord
nance corps. Cap. Dutton has been
for nanny years connected with the
work of the geological survey, and is
well recognized authority upon vol
canic and seismic phenomena, as well
as upon general geology. He has just
returned from the northwest, where
he spent a season in making prelimi-
nary geological survey Of the Oregon
region. Two maps of the affected re-

prepared, leave no doubt that Charles

focus of the disturbance. From thii
center the impulses spread in all direc
tions with decreasing intensity, a

turn to political life again, and will

varied in their progress BY reason of
the varying densities of tho material
which transmitted them. The impulses
appear to have Travelled much faster
up the Atlantic coast than toward tho
west. No other great earthquake was
ever so well observed from scientific
standpoint, and while the scientists
hardly hope to discover the seat of
the disturbance, yet the study, 1t is be-
licved, cannot fail to throw much light
upon seismic phenomena.

AtThe Theatre.

The attendance at the theatres in
Dallas this season has greatly fallen off
on account of the shaky condition of
public confidence in the..safety of the
opera building. Then again there are
lot of snide shows that usually get
out of business north and find their
way south to impose on q suppoeed
uninitiated public. As before stated,
the HERALD has secured tho services
of a competent critic, who win pay his
way into the theatre as other people
do, and give the public the benefit Of
his observations.

A Country Lawyer In Washington.
WASHINGTON ID. c., Oct. 22.-Not
long ago a lawyer from one of the
western states who had never visited
Washington before came here to argue
a case before the supreme court. He
created a sensation which made the
chills creep up and down the backs OF
the venerable justices who had to lis
ten to him. When he came into court
he wore a red-fanncl shirt, coarse
woolen clothes and cowhide boots.
His hair hadn't seen the scissors for
several seasons, and the razor was a
stranger to his face. AT first he was
taken for crank, but when the case
was called the court soon found that
he was man of great ability The
question at issue was involved in a
patent suit and was quito intricate and
complicated. 1t took the country law
yer two days to argue the case,
and he finally won it.

Stage-Struck Girls.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22.-Lillie and Car
rlc Ncebc, two stagc-struck girls, aged
II and 10, came here last week from
indianapolis. where their father is city
recorder, and found temporary en-
gagcnent at the Casino theater as the
Woodburn sisters. The Casino is a
variety thcater, and us the girls would
be satisfied only with leading parts in
in heavy tragedy the manager soon
found that he had no use for them, and
told them that the only position he
could give them was place in the bal
let, informing them at the same time
that the ballet girls were all required
to visit the green room. The girls in
dignantly refused the offer and left the
theatcr. They failed to secure an en-
gagement elsewhere, but have been
running around the streets in their
stage suits and attending the theaters
regularly. Their father got Oh their
track, and telegraphed Hugo Sarner to
send them home. Mr.. Sarncr had. an
interview with the girls yesterday and
found them veay unwilling to returh
home, but they finally agreed to do SO
if they could not secure an engage
ment at Cincinnati. They left for that
city last night, and are sure they can
make their mark on the stage if only
given an opportunity. They are both
long, lean, sallov girls with straw
colored hair,g6nd wore unbelted
Mother Hubbards of blue calico, and
had little silk hats resembling paper
collar boxes perched on the back OF
their Reads. They sI3oked the very
picture of vcrdure.

their official chiefs and to actually have
them discharged, Many of the chiefs lived
in fear of pretty female clerks In their di.
visions who We're backed by influential
senators. These clerks, conscious of their
strength, did MS they pleased, to the humil.
iatiOn OF the obsequious chiefs, and the
decentralization of the entire service. All
this, have said has been greatly changed.
The clerks now arrive at the departments

They remain at their desks until the regu.

been the habit of many to shirk work for
the slightest illness, or to affect illness and

These and other reforms have made a no
ticeable improvement on both the quantity
and quality of the work performed but
much remains to be done before the work
in the Government offices can be carried
on with the economy and dispatch of well
conducted business establishments. Many
of the chiefs of bureau and division ap-
pointed by the present administration are
capable, energetic, and thoroughly deter,
mined to reform the deep rooted abuses
that appear everywhere in the immense
civil establishment of the United States
These abuses cannot be swept away by
want. They must BE removed
by patien. devoted work.

BUTCHER BOY.
When young Jerry had attained the age
Of Il, the city of New York had begun a
rapid boom in business, and was rapidly be.
coming the great commercial metropolis Of
this republic and every sort of trade doomed
up, especially that Of the meat market. For.
tunes were being made in livestock and
kindred branches, and our friend became "a
butcher boy afterwards setting up for
himself, but the ring at the city market
crushed out all outside shops, fined them
heavily and raised the license enormously
so that only a comparatively rich man or a
ringster could do business. Mr. Wood sold
out, and takin. his small earnings, left
FOR THE WEST
In May, 1897, lacking a few months Of being
u years Of age. In company with Mr.. J.
}. Hill, of New York, he started for Buffalo,
and arriving there too early for navigation,
the lakes still being frozen, he remained
four or five days in that city, having taken
passage on an old steamer, the "Michigan,
which every morning got up steam and made
great pretense of starting, to get passen-
gers aboard, and then waited till the next
day, and so on! Finally it did 60 in earnest.
and in a few days arrived at Detroit. Here
they learned that the straits of Mackinaw
were not open. The captain at once put all
the passengers ashore, without word Of eX,
PLANTATION, nor did he refund the money paid
him for through tickets to Chicago, but put
back to Detroit, leaving an angry, hungry
and deserted lot Of people to help themselves
as best they could. After few days small
sailing vessel, the "Rufus King" was char.
tered at big price to take the passengers
through. 1t was long. tedious, cold ana
dismal voyage. The boat was overcrowded
with passengers. and the food gave out, SO
that the people were well nigh starved be-
fore they reached Milwaukee. then small
trading post. There was no harrison, so the
vessel laid out in the lake and the freight
was taken off by "leighters,' small vessels
for that purpose. Provisions obtained, the
old tug sailed slowly down to the mouth of
