The fact that 1000 teams are at work
on the branch Of the Fort Smith read be-
tween Wagner ana Coffeyville, gives the
reported statement by George Gould, to
the effect that propositions are to be en-
tertained by the Missouri Pacific man
agement from rival points for the ter
minus of that line, sounds rather chest
nuty. The extension OF the line to Ar
kansas City would mahe little shorter
but less direct route from Arkansas and
the eastern part of the territory to this
city, the objective point, than by way of
Coffeyville, but it is too late to talk
about that now, since the latter route
has been determined upon and the work
of construction well under way.

was uneeremoniously elected from the
opera house by the police few nights
ago and who was locked up Ill the city
jail over night on the charge of drunk

evidence to convict her of the charge in

though the police were too offcious and
that Mrs. Hasty may have just grounds
for damages.

The Crushed weather Prophets.

The present winter has been dc.
structive of confidence in the prcdic.
tions Of the weather bureau. Aerial
currents have been erratic, and have
frequently SHE'D at insignificant obsta-
cles from the courses mapped out by
signal officers in accordance with past
observations. But II the official her
aids Of meteorological change have
been baffled, what shall be said OF the
experience Of individual wiseacrcs who
ride their barometer as hobby.
Troops OF them have gone down in the
chagrin OF failure, and confidence in
weather signs has been disastrously
shaken.
The time has passed when n few hap
hazard predictions verified by mere
coincidence will make Virgins or q
Blake. The so-called astronomical OBJ
servers have had their telescopes re-
versed by atmospheric conditions
which have defed weather prophets,
official and private. Even the obsery-
ers Of animals have had their faith In
the prescience Of the "varmintsn usu-
ally sought by trappers badly shaken.
1t would be a deliyerance from tho
annoyance Of abnormal assurance II
the demolition Of confidence among the
ambitious weather prophets should
prove to be permanent crippling.

Official Courtesy at Washington,

All through the government service
as in private business establishments
we, of course. find the relation OF
superior and subordinate. and from this
relation necessarily follow certain DIS
tinctions of grade, or official classified
ton, and certain rules OF courtesy
governing the business intercourse be-
tween agents Of equal or unequal rank
The president is higher than secre-
tary of department, u secretary higher
than a bureau chief, a bureau chief
higher than clerk. An officer, issu'
ing instructions or commands, disre-
CARDS the conventional or compliment
airy forms observed by him when COM
municating with officers OF equal or
higher grade; a subordinate, CORE
spending with one above him in author
ity, is more or less deferential in his
address. This complaisance, however,
extends chiefly to such harmless ex-
pressions as, ''to the honorable the
secretary" and II am, with great re-
spect, your obedient servant" at the
beginning and ending Of letters; and is
only Objectionable when II becomes in
discriminate or extravagant. In strict
propriety, official communications
should be addressed to the office
not 10 the name OF the individual hold
ing the Office; and a public office re-
ceives no augmented dignity BY reason
OF mere wordy additions. This was the
view taken by the house OF represent
atives at the beginning OF the govern
ment, when the senate desired 70 style
the president His High Mightiness, :"
or by some other senseless title; and
the senate, by submitting TO this view.
established precedent applicable 70
every subordinate Office.
In writing to a high official or a
member OF congress by name, the pre-
fix Hon" is permissible on grounds OF
general usage; but the employ.
ment OF this title In addressing
minor officers Is meaningless, as also Il
the phrase. ITO His ExcelIency the
President; yet, this and other errors
of over-effusion are frequently made by
correspondents both in and out Of Of
fetal circles. In ranking the presiden,
as head OF the republic we regard him
only in his public capacity. His pre-
eminence is the prominence Of his
office. as we have said, was intended TO
exercise business functions. From

he was eight years old, and he looked then
much like a circus monkey on horseback.
His first regular engagement was with Rob
ert Tucker, with whom he remained a year,
and then left to go to Capt Franklin, of
Nashville. He returned shortly, however,
making up his mind hereafter to stick to Mr..
Tucker. Barnes has always been sensa-
tional jockey, although in his manner he IL
very quiet and dignified and his great sue

Laughlin. He has the daring Of Fitzpatrick
and the energy Of Garrison. In short, the
boy Is wonder" This is high praise, and
when II is applied to little colored boy who
will not be out of his teens for some time yet
II seems too great; but his work shows that
he deserves it. The most sensational race
which Barnes ever rode previous to his re-

The Bradford club II not nm old organiza-
tIon, but its record speaks well for its prowess
1t first became prominent when Jake kilrain
won the junior sculling championship at the
association races Of 1854. Last June tho eight
oar crew won at Worcester, Mass, the New
England championship and defeated all com
petitors at the regatta at Boston on the Fourth
OF July last Their boat was once used by
the Harvard crew in gallanty won race.
Their time at Pullman was 7:ii. They were
captaincd by Mr. Cumming, n well known
oarsmnn.
The credit for the work Of the Atlantas at
Pullman Is said TO be due largely to the great
care exercised by Capt. Van Raben, who did
not allow his men to smoke and vetoed pie
and swcetmcats. They were carefully trained
and in splendid form. The Bradfords were
In good shape when they arrived Mt Pullman,
but it Is said that they went in for good
time after they got there.
The four Dared contests were all well rowed,
and the single and double scull races were
lively and interesting. In fact the regatta,
despite unfavorable weather for part Of tho
time and tho Ubiquitous eel grass, was n do
cided Success
