No Settlement Yet.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July 25.-Consider-
alton OF the proposition looking toward
an adjustment of the difficulty with the
Burlington road occupied this morning 5
session of the great convention of rail
road employees now meeting here. Great
pressure, 1t is understood, was brought to
bear on the hot heads by the more con.
sentative element to waive the three and
a half and four cents a mile schedule and
the classification clause. Chief Sargent
left last night for Chicago, where he
claims to have been called by urgent bust
ness. 1t is certain that neither Morag-
han, Sargent, Wilkinson or Arthur.
heads of the four great organizations,
will take part In the convention. Hoge
and Murphy were expected here this
morning, but did not make their appear
ance.
AT the conclusion of to day s session OF
the Engineers and Firemens' Brother
hoods 1t was announced that a resolution
had been unanimously adopted refusing
the Burlington conditions and declaring
that the road must take back all the
strikers or none. This means that the
situation to day is Just the same as it was
before efforts at a compromise were made.
1t is stated that the plan of a federation
of the engineers, firemens, switchmens
and brakemens' brotherhoods was en-.
dorsed by the meeting and arrangement
are making to carry it into effect.
Each of the four brotherhoods will
hold conventions between now and Octo-
Der to consider the matter. The first one
to meet will adopt a federation clause IN
the constitution which will be accepted by
TIE other conventions at their meeting.
and when this work is accomplished a
grand advisory board will be established
to be made up of delegates from the four
organizations.
1t will be the business of the board to
handle all difficulties hat cannot be ad-
justed by the various grievance com
mittees and in extreme cases the chiefs of
the four organizations will be called in.

Only a few weeks ago Miss Eva Inger-
soil distinguished herself by an act OF
personal bravery that was remarkable,
not alone by reason of having been accom-
panied by a member of the .gentler sex.
The young lady is a member Of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
and she takes a very deep interest in the
carrying out of the designs with which
the association was formed. One day, as
she sat looking out of the window over
Fifth avenue, she saw a man beating a
poor, shrunken, decrepit old horse at
tached to an ash cart. The young lady's
sympathy was aroused at once, and with
it her Indignation. She went out into the
street and asked the driver to abandon
his ill treatment of the unfortunate brute
under his charge. He told her to go to
the devil, and as a means of self employ
ment during her Journey he continued to
hammer the horse. Miss Ingersoll called
upon a bystander to interfere. The by
stander refused. She then exhibited her
5. 2. C.. A. badge. The driver jeered at
her and went on humping the unfortu-
nate horse.
Miss lngersoll seized the bride and was
dragged along the pavements, to the
great astonishment of a lot of people In
masculine clothing, who looked on and
said nothing. Finally u man rushed out
from the sidewalk and stopped the pro-
c%ession. A policeman approached, the
brutal driver was arrested, and the
wretched old horse was turned over to
the society. The animal was found to be
in such a condition of illness that it was
considered necessary to shoot 1t outright,
and the driver was duly punished for his
cruelty. A good many Fifth avenue
fathers would have shrunk from the pub
licity occasioned by such an act on the
part of his daughter. Col. Ingersoll didn't.
He commended this brave and humane
conduct, and 30 did pretty much every
body who knew about lt.-New York

The Improvement. to the Court House is

Under the old plan the Court, when in Sos

died. After dcliberltion the Court ordered
the County Commissioners 10 make the
change in the architecture of the building
which Is now in the course of completion.
The Commissioners were directed to ask the
the Legislature for Il levy TO raise the money.
The law authorizing the levy was passed.
The levy was made, and the tax collected.
In the mean time the old County Commis-
Siouers went out of office.
The new County Commissioners found the
county in debt. They proposed I" use the
money, which had been collected for the I'M
provement OF the Court House, in the pay
ment of the debts of the county. Legal adj
vice was sought in reference to the matter.
when they were informed that the money
could not be used except for the purposes
authorized by law. Still unwilling TO put up
the improvement, while the county was IN
debt, they consulted the Attorney General
who only confirmed the legal opinion OF the
local lawyer with whom they conferred.
After hcsitatng for a year they finally let the
contract.
So whatever praise or censure may be due
for the present work on the Court House,
none OF IL shoulu Itli Oh lhc pFeSe't NouiiIs

For our own part, we think no Investment
could have been better made. We are only
sorry that greater improvements had not
been made. Public buildings have much TO
do with the refinement and civilization OF
any people. and we think no money Judi
ciously spent in public buildings is thrown
away.
The man who blames the present County
Commissioners for the present expenditure
ON the Court House must not be acquiant ted
with the facts OF the case. If they had done
the job OF their own motion, 1t would have
been the best job Of their term. The work on
the Court House Is light.

The election for prohibition was held
in The town of LOwndesvillc Saturday
AZ il WAS ut all the precincts in the
county, and while Il light vote was
pullcd on account Of so many not hav-
ing their registration ccatilcatcs, yet
as far as LowndcSville is concerned, it
was IL glorious success for prohibition.
Sixty votes were polled: fifty-six for
prohibition and four against it. At
this writing we do not know how the
election has gone in other sections of
the county, but if they have done as
we'll as here, the cause is victory and
our county is free.
The election passed Off quietly,
without seeing a single man under
the influence of liquor, or anything
below the dignity Of the occasion.

Extracts from Christian Neighbor

And I came in my meditation to this
conclusion: God is not as deeply inter
Cstcd in what we do as in what we are.
We think our great work is the great
matter. That with him is compari-
lively Il small matter. He might send
an angel to do as much in a day
rs hundred of us are doing in Il
year. What God regards especially
is the workman. What he cares
most for is the effect of the
discipline of life upon our characters.
He wants us to turn many to righteous
ness, but nc wants us, in doing so, to
prepare ourselves to shine "as the stars,
for ever and ever" Daniel xii, 8. y
Rusticus in the Occident.
II is, in truth, the manner of the do
ing rather than the thing done that is
of Importance. A man may give a
home to some Of his "poor kin" and be
much bepraised by the outside world
for his generosity, yet the life of the
dependent is made daily unhappy by
frequent reminders of the bounty be-
slowed. 1t may be the reminders are
indirect, and therefore the more un-
generous, but they are quite effective
in destroying gratitude and esteem.
1t may be one is given to "going
about doing good" in a small way, yet
the small things arc so grandly pro-
claimed that they look insignificant, at
least when compared with the flourish
of trumpets which announces their fin
ishing.
One may pay well toward all church
affairs and benevolent enterprises, yet
if the thing be done in the sight of all
men it loses all the sacred significance
which may be attached to the smallest
deed done for Christ's sake. In these
matters Christian modesty. is some
times violated. 1t were better to lose
the added dollars which would be sub
scribed by pride rather than to- make
known to the unkindly curious the
gifts conscientiously made from a con-
secratcd purse.
What need to dwell further on the
manner of our doing? We know the
effect of our tones. TO our faithful
dog we can say, "Come here" yet say
it in such tone us to drive the crea-
ture shivering from our presence. We
can say, $50 away, sir" yet by the
tone invite him to our side. He, brute
as we call him, is plainly governed by
the manner of speaking, and not by
the words spoken.
We know man Of small esteem with
the world at large, unknown to it, in
deed, in certain sense, yet whose gen-
uine charity Qove), generosity, nohil-
ity are 50 impressed upon all he does
and there is conviction within that
docs much-that all who know him are
of necessity impressed with his Christ
illness.
Let us not cease to remember that it
is the spirit eof action which giveth
life, the letter Of the law killeth.
