lies LONG THosE Sfesent at the Presidents
,lic reception yesterday was man with
,collar and in his dirty shirt sleeves. DE
was received more heartily than any OF the
other callers, women or men. Now, as he
had coat and collar, as he had no re-
quest to make, and as he only called to look
at and shake hands with the President, he
showed very little respect either for himself
or for the chief magistrate of his country by
appearing in the garb in which he presented
himself; and it is questionable If the fresi.
dent showed the best taste in the hearty re-
ception he accorded him. 1.-THE man want
ed to see the President on business, and had
no other opportunity for doing so, ne would
have been justified, that is II he had no coat
and collar, but az he had both, and as he
only called for curiosity, he was ine1cusa-
BILE 10 the eyes Of every one who has the
slightest regard for the commonest proprle'
ties and civilities of ordinary life; and the
apparent warmth of the greeting the Presi-
deut gave him savors very strongly of a
low toned demagogism utterly incompatible
with the pretensons of n man who Wonld
have it appear that his actions result from
convictions Of right, regardless of the wishes
of the people who nominated aud elected
him. A man without coat. or without
shirt for that matter, may be just as good
as one with both, but there are certain
times and occasions, such, for instance, as
the one referred to, when every right think.

Death Of a Remarkable Dog.

There was Grape the door of the station
house last evening, and there an expression
of sorrow in the eyes of many of the sturdy pa
trolmen as they assembled at roll-call, when the
word was passed among them that "Old jack
was dead. cold Jack" was the station-house
dog, and for twelve years has been regarded as
one of the best officers the force. There
were many stories told Of his wonderful feats in
helping to cage noted crooks He came to the
station pup, over twelve years ago, and at
once Caught on" to the business, and the patrol
wagon never went out for ten years without
"Old Jack" On numerous occasions he prevent
ed the escape of prisoners by holding to them
like grim death. He knew the police calls.
When long call was sounded he would prick up
his ears, and if he heard the short call he was off
in an instant to the scene of the trouble and was
always on the ground before the officers He
never failed to take hold of the right man, and
by the criminals of the city was dreaded more
than any officer.

There is everything attractive in the artistic
furnishing of the new bar at the Bates House,
opened to the public for the first time last even
ing. The counter and sideboard extend across
a spacious width. In these the richest San Do
mingo mahogany have been used, with comb

end Of the counter. In the background are
fine specimens of highly finished and
costly colored glass, with representations
of Psychological subjects, and in the center rises
from base setswth floral ornaments. plaster
of mahogany. curving from the capital with the
general line of the work. In this curve are
placed beveled mirrors. On either side of the
plaster are large squares of embossed leather.
The carving is simple but rich. The line of the
tile floor leads from the billiard apartment to a
frontage on Washington street The wainscot-
ing is of brass and bronze, with walls covered
with paper of light gilt. Opposite to the en-
trance is magnificent mirror. Many enjoyed
the sight, and pronounced it the best work of the
kind outside of New YORK city.

What Led to the Pool Troubles.

There are two thing which have led to the de-
moralized condition Of the trunk-line pool First
Three grain houses in Philadelphia sent agents
to Ohio and Indiana, with instructions to buy up
all the wheat they could and ship it to Philadel-
phia over the Pennsylvania lines. The Penn
sylvania gave them cut rate of 5 to cents per
hundred weight below the pool rate. The agents
worked hard, and swept Ohio and Indiana clean,
and the result that the Pennsylvania has
been doing about 80 per cent. of the grain bust
ness into Philadelphia when its usual proportion
is about 60. Then, with this great increase in
tonnage, the Pennsylvania writes to the trunk
line pool and wants bigger percentage. That
is the whole story. Mr. Fink understands it
thoroughly. He aludes to it in his let
ter, where he says he would decide the
allotment OF percentages to be very MUST
one provided these results have been legitimate
ly obtained" Another danger to the pool lies in
the express war now raging. Express freight is
carried on all of the trunk lines with the eXcep-
ton OF the Erie, at certain stipulated rentals
and an increase or decrease of this class of tom
mage has no effect on the revenue derived. On
the contrary. the Erie has established it's own
express line and is delivering at Chicago to-day
to Marshall Field & Co. and other firms AT 70
cents a hundred, which is the tariff rate on first
class freight west-bound, and is naturally draw
ing to itself all this class of freight. This calls
for immediate action the part of the other
lines

Evaneelistic Work of Women.

The Womans Evangelistic Union held it's
monthly meeting at the Central Christian
Church yesterday afternoon. The service was
principally one of song and prayer. Delegates
were present from nearly every church in the
city. and the reports they submitted IN relation
to the work of the union were of a very crafty
ing character Those in the active work of the
union have been well rewarded the past month,
the number of conversions having increased over
all former months. The union is composed OF
delegates from churches of all denominations,
and SO successful has been its work since lts or
ganization that it's membership will shortly be
greatly increased.

The Lesson Unheeded,

The Northwestern companies continue to build
roads paralleling old established lines notwith-
standing the results which have followed such
foolish work in the Eastern and Middle States.
Take such wrecks as the West Shore and some
nearer home which might be named, where roads
were built, so to speak. to spite road that the
company which built the parallel line had con-
ceived the idea that. as connection, they had
been snubbed by The Railroad Gazette reads
lecture to those who speak of this that com
pany taking revenge" upon another by building
competing lines The Gazette very sensibly
says of such charges: ''They ought to furnish
cause for libel suit. for what is charged is
ally the intent to commit great crime worse
than any safe burglary highway robbery, not
only because the sums involved are immensely
greater than the amount of all the thefts and de-
falcations in the country but because, if expeDd
ed, as charged, to punish rivals, they are taken
from the proprietors of railroads by their own
trustees, whom they have chosen to protect
their property. and who, beyond all other men,
are bound not to waste it."
