A Doub1e-Jointed Civil Rights Decision.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The Interstate
commerce commission reached a decision
on the color line to-day. A colored man
complained that he bought a drst-class
ticket on the Georgia railroad, but was
compelled to occupy an inferior car set
apart for the blacks. The commission
holds that where roads have separate cars
for the blacks they must be equal IN every
respect to those occupied by the whites and
that the blacks must be given equal protec-
The defendant road wasfound guilty
of q violation OF the law in these respects.

To-day he will Return in Charge of
the Sheriff.
e. W. Lester arrived in Butte ON time
last fall and soon became decidedly popular
| with all classes. He wa accomplished, q
good dresser, high liver, and had combined
| within him to such u nice degree the auali-
ties OF u fast young man and those of a
mcre staid, church-going gentleman that he
was nelcome in both circles, and his com
pany % sought by ali CLASSES. He pos:
sessed an excellent tenor voice. and when
habilitated in the Robes n clioir;ster Of the
Episcopal church Vi here ne sang regularly,
he caused many a susceptible young female
heart to 1utter with more than usual
energy, and was the envy of his less forum
ate male acquaintance.
A couple OF months ago he surprised the
community by being a party to a highly ro-
mantle marriage which was performed
clandestiuely owing to the extreme youth
of the bride who feared parental oppos:-
ton, The act, however, was forgiven and
all went well.
Recently he engaged in the collection and
brokerage business and apparently was
doing nicely. Unfortunately he could not
overcome the results OF his early training,
being the only child of wealthy parents,
and attempted to lead a champagne life
on a lager beer income. OF course, in this
he failed, like many a one before him, and
instead of turning over collections to his
clients appropriated them to his own use.
Probably fearing that exposure would
soon follow, he gave out Friday evening
that he and his wife would visit Boulder
Hot Springs for a few days. Instead, how
ever he bought tickets for New York and
left on yesterday mornings Montana Cen
trail train bound for that point.
His patrons found this out and informed
Sheriff Lloyd who t~elegraphed to the Hele-
ma sheriff and the absconder was arrested.
After his arrest he made several Intellectual
attempts to raise money enough to pay
those who caused his detention and finally
t~elegraphed back to be allowedIto return to
Butte and he would endeavor to compro-
mise matters. The request was refused
and the sheriff will leave for Helena this
morning and return with him in custody
this afternoon.
The exact amount of his shortages is not
known, but it amounts to several hundred
In addition he is also charged
with having sold a horse he owned to two
different parties and possibly will also be
he'd Tor that offense.

IN THE R4IN.

l stand in the old gray weather,
10 the white and silvery rain;
The great trees huddle together
And sway with the windy strains
l dream of the purple glory
OF the roseate mountain height,
Of the sweet-to-remember story
Of a distant and dear delight.
The rain keeps constantly raining,
And the sky is cold and gray,
And the wind in the trees keeps complaining
That summer has passed away;
But the gray and the cold are haunted
By a beauty akin to pain
BY the sense of a something wanted
That never will come again.

THE MAVERICK SILVER.
by S. a. WEISS.

1t was a stormy November evening,
with high wind and pouring rain
such an evening as makes people ap-
preciate the luxury of a pleasant home
tireSide.
The Misses Maverick felt very comfort
able as they sat in cushioned chairs, one
on each side of the glowing fire, while
between them the little tea-table CLEANED
with polished silver which reflected back
the dancing blaze.
No plated ware was this, but, as the
ladies often boosted, solid sterling silver
which had belonged to their grandfather
and having nothing else TO show in
token of what the Mavericks had been in
their day, they priced this battered silver
service above all things. As Miss
Maverick often observed, she would pre-
fer to lose the house over their heads,
though it had been left them by an aunt,
than part with one Of those worn spoons
engraven with the Maverick monogram.
"Alice seems very long about the tea, -
observed Miss Maverick, glaucing at the
clock. II am almost sorry l allowed
Nancy to goto her sisters. 1t is incon-
venient, and l never feel safe without
her, in case of illness or accident. She
hasn't been long with us, but l think
she's to be trusted.
''She is certainly sufficiently out

little gray curls "What do you think

rent = says She
Miss Myra laughed a little, timid laugh,
while she glanced half-wistfully at her
sister,
But she, stiff and erect, gazed into the
fire
''Naucy must be taught to know her
place, " she said, sternly. And as Ia
Alice, | have already said that l will
never consent to her marrying Doctor
Darrell. Think of our bringing up that
child, educating and clothing her, in the
hope that she would make match worthy
of a Maverick, and the first thing that We
know she wants TO throw herself away OF

Where Cars Are Run With Sails.

/ was looking at some models in tho
National Museum of curious cars used in
the early days of railroading in this coun-
try, when Mr.. Watkins, the curator,
pointed out one particular one that had
mast and sail. Experiments with such
cars were made on the Baltimore and
Ohio and on the South Carolina road. II
was then a serious question whether the
motive power on railroads would be sail,
horse or steam. The steam locomotive
was still looked upon as an experiment.
Sail cars are used to-day on a Guano rail
road on the island Of Maiden, in the South
Pacific. They are, in fact, used nearer
home than that, for railroad men at Barne-
gat Beach, when the wind is favorable,
frequently ride over the road on construc-
tion cars-sloop-rigged. "The wind has
a good deal to do with railroading even
to-day Mr.. Watkins said. If you 90 to
the bureau of intelligence at the Broad
street station, Philadelphia, and ask
whether some train, say from New York,
is likely 10 be on time, you may be in
formed that it is likely to be four OF five
minutes late, because there is strong
wind from the west. Winds make con-
siderable difference in the running time
of trains. Philadclphia telegraph.

The CoaIing Of Oeean Steamers.

Talking the other day with a manager
Of one of our transatlantic lines he told
New York St1r reporter some curious
things about the coaling of ocean steamers
and the work and men on board of the big
ships. 1t appears thatas time goes on the
daily consumption of coal increases on all
the Atlantic steamers, which must make
the voyage now in seven days or under if
they would hold their own and attract Gus
tom. To do this vessel must burn from
POO 10 800 tons Of coal daily, making this
item of expense over $500 every twenty
fours, requiring more men to handle it and
taking up additional room in the hold of
the ship. The Umbria burns twelve tons
of coal per hour, and on every vessel Of
her size the journals and bearings Of the
machinery require 13O gallons Of lubrieat-
ing oil per day, The Cunard Line en-
ploys 450O hands, including 100 of a
shore gang, 900 stewards, thirty-four
captains and LAG officers.

THE COMMON CHORD.

The Rappahannocks stately tide, aglow with
sunset light
Came sweeping down between the hills that
hemmed its gathering might
From one side rose the Stafford slopes, and
on the other shore
The Spottsylvania meadows lay, with oak
groves scattered DER
flushed were the sounds Of busy day; the
brooding air was hushed,
Save for the rapd-howing stream that
chanted as it rushed.
Ger mead and gently sloping hills, on either
side the stream,
The white tents of the soldiers caught the
suns departing beam
On Spottsylvanias slopes the Blue; on Stat
ford's hills the Gray;
Between them, like an unsheathed sword, the
glittering river lay.
Harkl Suddenly a Union band far down the
stream sends forth
The strains Of "Hail, Columbia" the pean
of the North
The tents are parted silent throngs of sol
diers, worn and grim,
Stand forth upon the dusky slopes to hear the
martial hymn.
So clear and quiet was the night that 10 the
farthest bound
of either camp was borne the swell Of sweet,
triumphant sound.
And when the last note died away, from dis
tant post to post
A shout, like thunder Of the tide, rolled
through the Federal host
Then straightway from the other shore there
rose an answering strain.
Bonnie Blue Flag" came floating down the
slope and DER the plain.
And then the Boys in Gray sent back our
cheer across the tide
A mighty shout then rent the air and echoed
far and wide.
"Star-spangled Banner" we replied; they
answered, "Boys in Gray
While cheer on cheer rolled through the dusk,
and family died away.
Deeply the gloom had gathered round, and
all the stars had come,
When the Union band began to play the notes
of "Home, Sweet Home"
Slowly and softly breathed the chords, and
utter silence fell
Over the valley and the hills-on Blue and
Gray as well.
Now swelling and now sinking low, now
tremulous, now strong,
The leaders cornet played the air of the
beautiful old song;
And, rich and mellow, horn and bass Joined
in the flowing chords
So voice-like that they scarcely lacked the
charm of spoken words.
Then what cheer from both the hosts, with
faces to the stars!
And tears were shed and prayers We're said
upon the field of Mars.
The Southern band caught up the strain;
and we, who could sing, sang.
Oh, what glorious hymn Of home across
the river rang
We thought of loved ones faraway, Of scenes
we'd left behind
The low-roofed farmhouse meath the elm
that murmured in the wind;
The children standing by the gate, the dear
wife at the door;
The dusty sunlight all aslant upon the old
Darn uOOr.
Oh loud and long the cheer we raised when
silence fell again,
And died away among the hills the dear
familiar strain.
Then 20 our cots Of straw we stole, and
dreamed the hvelong night
OF far-oif hamlets in the hills, peace-walled
and still and white.

uousE CLEANING SUGGESTIONS.


In cleaning bed chambers all furniture
should be moved, pictures and ornaments
taken from the walls and carpets taken
g. Bare walls, if hard finished, should
be wiped down and papered over, cleaned
off with dry cloth. Paints should be
washed; windows washed and polished,
floors wiped off with hot water, and
rinsed with strong brine. In washing
closets and privies, very hot water should
be used, and after drying thoroughly, they
should be sprinkled with benzine to de-
stroy vermin and moths. Carpets should
be freed from dust before putting down.
If spots of greese or dirt still remain,
they can be removed with hot water and
pearline. When bed chambers are in
order, the parlor and dining-room should
be cleaned in the same way, and then the
kitchens, where special care should be
taken. All the baking pans, tin ware and
crockery utensils should be put in boil
ing water, and then secured. The walls
should be vhite-washed and floors
scrubbed; sinks and dishes should be
cleaned with carbolic acid and hot water.
After the house has been cleaned from
attic to cellar, the yard and out-build-
ings should undergo the same process, all
rubbish and dirt being hauled from the
premises, and lime and carbolic acid
freely used to cleanse and purify.
