THE STUDY OF PALMIsTRY.
A professor" of This Art Tells How t.
Analyze Character.

From the Indianapolis News
Look at your hand. Do you read your
character in it? Or study your girls hand
and be wise.
The science of chironomy, or the mean
ing of the human hand always excites
curiosity, but few people understand it.
Can mans character be read on his hand
as well as you can read it in his face, or
by the bumps on his head? IT'S so
claimed, and the science by which it is
done is a pretty one. 1t has many
branches, all of them well worth studying
eff the palm of the hand is skinny and
narrow" said Professor" of the science
''it denotes timidity, feeble mind and
want of moral and intellectual force. If
the palm is too thick, big and strong, it
aAnatAs lou intelligence and tendency
to brutality. A hollow, deep palm always
signifies misery, ill-luck and failure in life.
Fingers which are smooth denote ten
dency to act upon instinct, impulse or in
tuition rather than reason, calculation or
deduction. Knotty fingers denote a'ten-
dency to order AID arrangement People
with short fingers are quicker, more i'm
pulsive, act more on the spur of the mo-
ment, than people.with long fingers. If
the fingers are very short it signifies
cruelty and want of tact
Long fingers denote love of detail.
Such persons are tidy as to their appoint
ments, easily put out and very careful
about trihes. Workers in small things
always have large hands, and the con-
structors of colossal works have small
hands. Smaii-handed people write large,
whilst large-handed people always write
small.
'Thick fingers denote luxury Twisted
and malformed fingers, with short nails,
denote cruelty, tyranny and worrying,
teasing disposition. If hand is stiff and
hard, opening with difficulty to its fullest
extent, it betrays stubbornness of character
and ayarice. If the fingers are supple,
having tendency to turn back, they de-
note, as a rule, cleverness and inquisitive-
ness, nearly always generosity, ending in
extravaganza. If the fingers fit close to-
gether it is sign of avarice. If twisted
so as to show chinks between them it is a
sign OF curiosity. If they are smooth and
transparent they betray indiscretion and
Ioquacity.n

TRAFFIC MANAGER STUBS.
He will be vice-President OF the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul.

Milwaukee and st. Paul.
[San Francisco Alta October 15thl
There was genuine sensation yesterday
in railrosd circles when it was learned that
]. C. Stubs, Traffic Manager of the South
ern Pacific Company, had accepted posi-
ton with the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul Railway. In the Alta of Saturday
last it was stated that Mr.. Stubs had been
offered a position with some Eastern road
al salary of $25,0 900 year. Mr.. Stubbs
arrived here on Saturday night from the
East but could not be seen until yesterday.
When asked what the rumor really meant
Mr.. Stubs said: yes, i. is true that am
TO leave the Southern Pacific. 1 will be
the Second Vice-President Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. am to
go East as soon as | can settle my affairs so
as turn this office over TO my successor"
You will be the General Manager of the
Milwaukee, will you not2"
The President of the Milwaukee is the
General Manager was Mr.. Stubs very
non-commital answer.
Further than this Mr.. Stubs would not
speak, either as TO salary or as to his sue.
cessor. The talk on the street is that Mr..
Stubs will be the General Manager and
that there is little doubt of it. The office
of Secoud Vice President is q new thing
Tor the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
and as it was created for Mr.. Stubs, it in
dicates how highly his abilities are es-
teemed in the East, where in the fierce
war of competition, only the ittest survive.
Mr.. Siubbs has been twenty years with the
Southern Pacific in the traffic department.
He was chief clerk iu the freight office of
the Central Pacific. then General Freight
Agent, and then Traffic Manager of the
entire Southern Pacific system. His pro-
motion. like all such advancement in the
Southern Pacific Company, was won by
actual merit. As it happens, all of the
chiefs were out of town yesterday, so that
it was not possible to learn who will be
Mr.. Stubbs' successor. W. G. Curtis, as
sistant to General Manager Towne said
that Mr.. Stubs successor had not yet been
named. 1t has always been the policy of
the road to promote some one from its own
ranks rather than to go to foreign road for
material.
The talk on the street is that while the
Southern Pacific people may be very re-
luctant to let Mr.. Stubs go. they cannot
possibly offer him inducements which will
offset the prospects of q brilliant future
with the Milwaukee road. 1t is also be-
lieved that Richard Gray, the present GEN
eral Freight Agent of the Southern Pacific,
will succeed Mr.. Stubs as Traffic Agent.

A Miss Chauncy of Columbus, OHIO,
has had fright that will doubtless teach
her lesson. She used for her complexion
a mixture of arsenic and nitrate of silver.
Then she went to the White Sulphur
Springs and took the baths. The sulphur
decomposed the silver salts in her skin and
turned her so black that she has gone into
retirement, and will not be seen again for

WONDERS win never end. Here is Yer
mont with an Immigration Commission,
asking for immigrants to settle the farm
ing lands of that State. Connecticut and
some other New England States are pro-
posing to follow the example. One en-

thousands of acres of fine farm lands in the
six New England States, that can be pur-
chased very cheaply, and which will pro-
duce proftably if titled by skilled agri-
culturists.

In the election of 1892 Indiana will
have in operation the new ballot system,
when an unpurchased and absolutely fair
election can be had, thing that has not
occurred in the Hoosier State since the
memory of this generation runneth-at
least, not since modern political bosses
have had the manipulation of thing at the
polls. The Indiana newspapers are al
ready discussing what the result of a
straight, fair and square election is likely
to be.

A REPUBLICAN primary was held in
Brooklyn, n. Y, recently, and "blocks of
five" voters were so numerous and open in
their infamous proceedings as to shock
even the old-liners. The Brooklyn Courts
have now taken hold of the matter, and
on the 18th inst. five of the purchased
gentry were sent to the State Prison for
nine months each. 1t is cheering sign
of the times that such convictions and
punishment are possible in so great city
as Brooklyn. The "hoater" element may
conclude, if this thing continues, that in
deed its occupation is gone.

THE District Attorney of New York
announces that nothing will be done in
the Flack cases until the woman in the
conspiracy appears. This may amount to
a perpetual postponement of the criminal
proceedings, as it is equivalent to notice
to Flack and his son to keep the woman In
hiding. The ways of some prosecutors
are past finding out. Why cannot Flack
be brought to trial for sraudulently pro-
curing divorce from his wife without his
mistress being dragged into the case?

500 to 800 pounds of gelatine and dyna-
mite, and they can be thrown the full dis
lance of one geographical nile. A lesser
projectile carrying but 200 pounds of ex-
plosive material can be thrown from these
guns 1000 yards. The projecting or mo
tive force used is compressed air, the press
ure being equal 10 half ton, and the
initial velocity acquired is 800 feet a
second. The shells are provided with
electric fuses that explode the projectile
on its entering the water, or at greater
depth if so adjusted. These new arms
with which the Vesuyius is fitted are,
therefore, really torpedo guns, and the
shells are nothing less than the most de-
structiye of torpedoes, carrying the most
deadly and powerful explosive known to
science. 1t is calculated that there is no
vessel ahoat that can withstand the shock
of one of these projectiles exploded beneath
the bow or the stern, and it is probable
that they would break up the heaviest
armored ship, even if the shell fell into the
water amidships. The Vesuvius in fight
ing trim sits very low in the water, show
ing less above the surface than any other
boats except the monitors. She has no
rigging and very little upper works expo
sure, while her decks are the strongest
known, possessing greater resisting power
than any ever laid down. From this very
brief description it may be possible to gain
something like a clear idea of the amazing
power of the new boat, aud what great
addition she is to the American navy.
TIME brings all things right-the "Capi-
tai City Club" of Atlanta, composed of
leading Democrats, afser a long inves-
tigation, has passed resolutions exoner-
ating General Lewis, the Postmaster
of Atlanta, who was burned in efigy
not long since for giving a colored
citizen clerkship. The resolution de-
clares that General Lewis was not blame
worthy. How do the Democratic sheets at
the North that Bounced" General Lewis
SO roughly feel about it now? 1t turns
out that the young white woman clerk
who resigned in such high dudgeon because
"nigger" was put into the Office as clerk
by the new official, had served there four
years under the former Postmaster who
had three negro clerks, and yet she made
no complaint. Political offenses are taken
by favor, evidently, by that young female
Democrat.
