preciates men as il they were dogs gone

il, Unnatural History" Dogs, he
says, are no better than men, and but
for man would have been much worse
than they are. They are very like men

sions, such as anger, jealousy, fear and
vanity.

THE RIGHTS OF TRAVELLERS.
Many Pullman Berths Purchased
by ChiHEmen.

Many Pullman Berths Purchased
by Cinnamon.
An article in the San Francisco Chron-
tcte of Thursdays date stated that the
first sale on record OF a Pullman Car
ticket to Chinaman had been made
the day previous to Wong Chez, a
wealthy Mongolian. This statement is,
however, singularly incorrect, as num-
bers of Pullman Car tickets have been
issued to wearers Of queues in
this city. Mr.. G. White, the ticket agent
of the s. P. here, when questioned
on the subject by HERALD man yester-
day and said: IT have sold many and
many a Pullman ticket to Cinnamon
right over this counter, on one occasion
giving to Mongolian and his family the
drawing-room on car going to San
Francisco. The statement made by the
Chronicle is an extraordinary one, for it
says than when the Cinnamon asked for
a sleeper the agent was aghast and did
not know what to do. To my personal
knowledge Cinnamon have purchased
berths at good many towns in the State
and the question of letting them have
them has never been raised. The Pull
man Company operates simply a hotel
on wheels. And then again as common
carriers it is compelled under the law to
accommodate any healthy person who
may apply for BERTH"
