STEAMSHIP FtREMEN.
Their Hard and Constant Work in Heated

Their Hard and Constant Work In Heated
Dungeons.
Every travelefon an ocean steamship
has observed the firemen, who, smut
covered and painting, climb up at inter-
walls out Of the boiler-room TO the deck
to get breath Of fresh air. Yet even
a sight of them does not give vivid
idea of the heated dungeon where they
work The descent to it. always by
ladder, is like the descent into cavern.
There are the piles of coal, the hot boil
crs, the light that the fires give, and
only such fresh air as comes down the
shaft. They work out of communica-
ton with everybody except the engi=
neers, and they give less heed to calm
or stormy weather than anybody olse ON
board. They keep the fires constantly
burning, but here their likeness to the
vestal virgins ends, except in that the
well-being Of passengers, if not Of
worshippers, depends on their vigilance.
They have never been assigned place
in honor or tradition equal to the tars
who lead more venturesome life above
them; but since the day when steam
ships superseded sailing craft as o
means of travel, the engineers and fire.
men have been incomparably more i'm.
portant persons than the sailors, and
they are not whit less interesting. On
the modern ocean steamer they ont'
number the sailors sometimes two to
one. -Hdrper's. Weekly.

A Disguised erave-Digger.

Fritz Hiener is the professional
grave-digger Of a Texas town. He did
not always pay his taxes promptly, and
one day while he was hard at work dig
ging grave, and had got down about
Eve feet into the bowels of the planet,
he perceived dark shadow between
himself and the. sun. Looking up he
perceived a deputy sheriff.
"Vat's de madder, nowp"
"I've got notice to serve on youfor
not paying your taxes"
"Mine Gottl" exclaimed the unfor-
tunae man, protruding his head from
the hole in the ground, "a man has no

Pool on Through Freight.

CHICAGO, Jan. THE general man.
ayers of the Eastern trunk lines out of this
city held meeting beginning at noon TO-
day. with view to re-establishing pool
covering all through freight and passenger
traffic. All the Eastern lines out OF chi
cago were represented, with the exception
of the Chicago q Atlantic. The opening
session was prolonged until 2 o'clock this
afternoon. This afternoon the representa-
tives of the Chicago d. Atlantic road still
being absent the meeting spent some
time in discussing the question whether
the pool could be formed. The
conclusion was finally reached that
Mr.. Jewett having previously given his
assurance that he would cooperate. busi-
ness could 20 on on the strength of that
promise. The matter of selecting com
missioner was again taken up, but 1t was
found impossible 10 agree upon Judge
Cooley or Commissioner Midgely, and it
was decided to lay the matter over till to
morrow. The rest OF the day until adjourn
ment was devoted TO a discussion OF new
territory to be covered by the pool and to
the taking up section by section of the Old
agreement in order to make and conform to
the provisions of the new trunk line con-

Cost of Transit.

Certain railway officials take exception
to the GLOBES statement that rates on flour
are being cut. Agents of all the traffic
lines and of the Minnesota az Northwestern
claim that they are strictly adhering to
tariff 1t is a we!l-known fact. however.
that not one of them is carrying flour at
~ cents per 100 pounds to Chicago, and
if their books were looked into the falsity
of their statements could easily be seen.
When transit is selling at II cents it would
be very uncommon thing indeed for
man to sell at that figure and pay III cents
to have it carried to Chicago, thereby losing
515 cents per 100 pounds on every carload
shipped. AS has been previously stated
there are stored at Minneapolis 275, 900, 600
of transit which is owned by the transit
roads, the Milwaukee d st. Paul, the
Omaha Rand the Minneapolis & st. Louis.
These roads controlling this amount are in
a position to demand rate perhaps cent
or two above the selling price Of transit for
transportation to Chicago, but the Mime
sofa a. Northwestern, which owns no
transit, must either carry at the price of
transit or receive no business. 1t is receiv-
ing business, however, but the question is
do shippers pay it III cents per 100 pounds
for the haul to Chicago?

AN INCUMBENT WANTED.
A $4,000 Position of Traffic Man.
ager Going Begging.

ager Going Rigging.
Milton H. Smith, representing the South
ern Traffic association, has been in Chicago
man to take the position of commissioner Of
that organization. The salary for the posi-
ton is SO, 900 per annum. Such figure
is not much of an inducement when no
permanency is guaranteed, the pool being
liable to dissolve at any time. And the
sort of official needed for the position is
not, as a rule, disengaged and there must
be some extra inducement offered to induce
any one to throw up position to accept
what is not regarded as sure thing.
There are, however, no objectional
features of the pool, all being avoided by
an entirely new departure. The commits
sioner, whoever he may be, is to receive
his appointment from each road, member
of the company, of traffic manager of
competitive freight" Holding this posi-
ton with the authority conferred upon him
by all the roads, he becomes the rate-mak-
ing power. only responsible to the board of
control composed of the presidents of the
several lines. There is no pooling of bust
ness, but an exercise of authority to so reg
ulate tariffs that undue competition, result
ing in rate-cutting, will be avoided. AS an
official of each road, his acts will have a
legal and binding effect heretofore never
given to a commissioner. The position has
been offered to nearly all the general freight
agents in Chicago, and the records of the
commissioners of other pools are now be-
ing looked up. There are not many cases
on record where $40, 900 position went
begging after an incumbent.

Not Many Like Him.

For the past two days the Dispatch has
been publishing alleged rumors to the effect
that Mr.. Allan Marvel. general manager of
the Manitoba road, would sever his connec-
ton with that company at the expiration of
his contract, April l. No credence is at
tached to the publication whatever, and it
may be said that no such rumor is in circu-
latiOn. Mr.. Marvel commenced with the
Manitoba for term of five years, which
expires April 1, and he has proven himself
so powerful a manager that the Manitoba
company, at this period of its existence,
when everything in the Northwest is in
such a turbulent condition in railroads,
conld not possibly dispense with his most
valuable services without seriously Gripping
itself, The excellent condition of every
thing connected with the road, and the eco
nomical way in which it is operated, is due
principally to the diligent and unceasing
interest Mr.. Marvel has manifested in the
property. The company appreciates his
labor and will be unwilling to accept his res
ignation should it be rendered. Mr.. Man.
vel is very conscientious worker, never
thinking of ''self," but always those whose
interests he has in his keeping. He is
greatly in need of rest, and it is possible
that he might decide to take vacation
from active duty.

Jefferson,s GranddauChter

CLEVELAND. Jan. Louis Schaefer of
Canton, who has interested himself in be-
half of Septima Randolph Meikleham,
granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson, who is
living in Strengthened circumstances with
two invalid children at Georgetown, ID. c.,
has prepared a memorial to congress which
will be presented soon by Congressman Nc
Kinley of Ohio. A similar appeal for
pension was made to the last congress. but
not acted upon. Mr.. Schaefer states that
in 1884 he sent letter containing blank
check payable to Mrs. Meikleham to men,
bers of congress, the president and men,
bers OF his cabinet members of the supreme
court, the governor of New York and other
prominent people. In response, checks
were sent to him aggregating in value only
$40. Mr.. Schaefer is well-known in Ohio
as a man of beneyolence. He has offered
to Mrs. Mekleham home during the re-
mainder of her lifetime in his household.

sufficient data the committee found it i'm
