Little Josef Hofmann.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27,-The case Of Josef
Hoffman, is exciting a good deal of in
terest, and opinions ara divided as to the
justice of Herr Cashier Hofmann's ac-
tion in suddenly Withdrawing his son
from the concert stage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Holman are unQuestionably alarmed
about the boys health, and they have
some reason to be. The trouble from
which he is suffering, and which gives
evidence of nervous unsettlement, made
its appearance some time ago. The father
at first deemed it of no consequence, but
when it grew worse, and the mothers
fears increased, MI. Holman, without
consulting anyone, wrote his letter to
Mr.. Abbey.

AN OFFICIAL INTERVIEWS.

The Strike Comes at q Time when Freight

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.--In an interview
with q United Press reporter, vice-Presi-
dent Peasley, Of the Burlington road,
statsd that the total number of engineers
employed on the Burlington system was
about 1900. and the number Of fremen
was abcnt the same.

well, that is q difficult question to
answer, but ! should say that we run
about 900 passenger trains, and an equal
number Of freight trains, ON the entire
Burlington systom per day. Wa have
10000 to 30. 600 cars, and of course when
the engineers lay off. the bulk OF these
cars Will be sfdetracked. We expect,
however, to keep q few trains moving,
and We havs been told that the Brother
hood engineers win not lie called of
from the mail trains, or certain Of the
suburban trains. Asto the loss which will
result from the strike, it is impossible to
give even an approximate idea in adj
vance Of the actual occurrence. / think
1T Will not be far out OF the way to say
that NE are earning from $40, 600 toS76,-
QUO per day. In this connection, however,
the fact must be taken into consideration
that rates IN freight business between
all PRINCIPAL points, have fallen to such
on absurdIy low figure that net earnings
have been seriously reduced. To be sure,
passenger rates are maintained, but pas
ssnger husiness does not produce much
oyer RS per cent. OF the OF our
fosd. It is perhaps true, therefore, that
the strike, coming as 1t does, t q time
when freight rates are hardly on q pay
ing basis, is not such an unfortunate af-
faar ss it would have been IN more PROS
porous times.
How are the othGi. employees of The
Burlington disposed to regard Che strikep,'
