DECREASED EARNINGS.
An Authoritative Statement of the
Business of Railways.
All of Them Make Bad Showings
80 far This Year.
General and Local Railway News
of Interest.
THEY ARE LOSING MONEY.

The Rdihody Age presents a tabulated
statement showing decreased earnings for
every railway in the United States since
Jan. l. The Union Pacifc's shortage is
proportIonately perhaps larger than that
Of any other line. Hence the abandon
ment of all construction projects. 1t was
learned a couple of weeks ago that it
would be impossible to carry out plans
formulated in January for the very ex-
ccllent reason that there was no money on
hand.
Since the LIST of April the Union Paci-
fc has discharged more than 200 civil
engineers and many workmeu. 1t is the
same all along the line as in Wyoming
and Nebraska. Resident Engineer Ban
mister yesterday packed his Office records
and will ship them to Omaha to-day. He
has no force at all now and is simply
awaiting orders.
ELECTRIC SIGNALING.
The Union Pacific is preparing to equip
its passenger trains and engines with an
electric bell apparatus which will do away
with the bell cord arrangement. A rep
resentatIve ofthe new device exhibited a
model Of the latter to Assistant General
Manager Dickinson yesterday and the latter
at once decided that the electric apparatus
is a big improvement on the bell cord
system of signaling. The alarm is given
by pressing a button connected with the
open circuit. Each car contains a gong
and through the circuit the signal is
transmitted to the engineer and vice
versa. The Burlington will experiment
on the new device and a test will be made
at Chicago next Wednesday.
GOLDEN ATE.
Omaha Republican: In two weeks
from date the Union Pacific will abandon
the Golden Gate special. The reasons
for this action are apparent. The train
costs too much and the road is too poor
to keep it up. At least IS, 500 has been
lost on each trip, and while the train has
been a great ''ad," printers ink
much cheaper.
The foregoing paragraph is another
evidence of the Republicans antagonism
to the present management of the Union
Pacific. Every official on the road as
serts that the splendid train is a success.
However, it must go.

g N. Hardy, of Hardy's Ranch, Wal

hunting trip IN Kansas and Colorado
with a friend, went to the ranch Of
Charles KRIS, about five miles southwest
Of Grenada, Colo, beside a deep guIch,
where away down flows a tributary 10
he Arkansas river. KRIS readily gave
them shelter for the night, remarking
that 1t was seldom that guests ever called
In that lonely place. He told them also
that seven years before this he had lived
on he ecos river, al the foot Of a noun

large bear entered the chicken coop and
bis wife ran to the rescue. She got such
q fright that she was sick for several
months, and then they moved TO their
present home. Mr.. KRIS gave birth to
q child shortly after, which wss never
known to have been seen by any one.
The visitors heard strange noises which
seemed TO emanate from a closed closet
They also heard Mrs. KRIS singing and
asked KRIS II he had any children. HS

that her ''sea of troubles would be i'm
mediately Gained, and she find herself at
her desired haven on the morrow. As a
state the development of her vas re-
sourses would be more rapid under the
fostering care of broad legislative sane
ton, and all her actions being self CEN
terd would doubtless be wiser and better
than when hampered by restrictions from
an absent power. The policy of the
national government seems to be a liberal
and a lust one, and l believe the admis-
sion of Wyoming as a state by the next
congress may be attained in 1890 by wise
counsels prevailing in the eleventh legis-
lative assembly.
V. Baker-Cheap money as a result of
admission strikes me as the most convinc-
ing argument in favor OF statehood. We
need capital sadly. and the men who
control it are timid of territories.
John W. Grifin-The sooner the bet
ter. We raj representation at Wash
ington, and outside investors desire the
protection of statehood government. l
will gladly pay increased taxes if they are
increased.
Elwood Mead, territorial engineer
Wyoming is a virgin field for emigrants,
and statehood will turn the tide to our
borders. Settlers will appreciate Wyo-
ming when they learn OF its inducements.

Their speed has been transmitted to their

Another Musical Prodigy.

1t is doubtful whether Manager Abbey
is going to bring the women OF New
York to the feet Of Otto Hegner as they
flocked to little Josef Hoffman,. Despite
the dowdy way in which Hoffman, s
parents dressed him, there was a child
ish charm and originality about him
which Hegner seems TO lack. Hegner
is more Of a boy of the world. The Lon

concerts on the Continent have almost
brushed oil the unaffected manners and
absence Of self-consciousness which
won Hoffman, so many hearts in
New York. Hegner is nearly year
Older than Hoffman, (thrteen) and
slightly smaller, though more than
squarely set He is dressed TO perfection.
Sometimes his concert-room behavior is
so demurely dignihed that it is almost
comical. London critics say that Heg-
ner is much better musician than
Hoffman,
It is generally stated that Otto Heg-
ner is Swiss by birth. He was born in
Germany. His parents were very poor.
When the boy was six years ole some
visitor TO the German village discovered
his talent for music. He was put under
the tuition of Franz Ericker, a pianist
Of local repute, and made wonderfully
rapid progress. When Ire was eight
years old Hans Huber, celebrated Swls-
composer, living at Bale, took charge OF
him and gave him a good musical edu-
cation. He made him master of tech.

the little animals would learn Just as
quickly now as they did then if put to
it. To teach monkey TO put on and

its head and then taken of AID replaced
by the master guiding the monkeys

When the animal has become accustom-

When once the monkey is accustomed
to walking upright. it is an easy matter
to teach the animal To walk tight

the monkey and he is really quite in his

The monkey is taught to shoot gun

the noise OF an explosion. This is done
by first exploding percussion caps and
then light charges at "A distance from
the monkey, gradually bringing the
monkey nearer. Ia this manner the an

The Skull Of a Cobra.

The skull OF a cobra lies before me.
From the tip OF the snout TO the back
of the skull the length is one and a
quarter inches, but from the tip of the
snout To where the lower jaw is hinged
the length is more than one and three
quarters inches. The brain case is an
ivory casket OF great solidity, but the
jawbones are loosely connected and
during life are capable of good deaf
of motion. The two side pieces OF the
lower Jaw are, in the snake, only
united in front by elastic tissue Be-
hind they do not hinge on the brain
case itself, but on lolg supporting ones
which jut out at the back OF the skull,
capable of motion outward, SO as Ia
widen the SIP zee between them. Not
only are there teeth on the lower jaw
and along the outer edges OF the upper
jaw in the pytbon's skull, but there are
also extra rows of teeth implanted in
the bones which lie one on each side of
the palate. The teeth are not for
crushing or tearing or chewing. They
all slopc-markedly backward and are
for holding the prey. Your finger will
slip into the mouth OF small python
easily enough, but try and draw il out
again; that is different matter The
curved teeth are constructed TO pre-

Training the Monkey.

"But how is the monkey taught to
fetch small articles 2 asked llttle Phil
adelphia girl, while watching the antics
of Mr.. o Toole, a local favorite of the
ringtai persuasion.
"A coin is placed in the monkeys
hand said the trainer If it drops the
coin the monkey is rebuked and the com
put into his hand until, after repeated
trials, the copper Is retained. Each
time this is done the master repeats a
certain word in Italian which is the
equivalent of the word fetch After
the idea Of holding the coin is firmly
fixed in its mind the monkey will hold
out its hand to receive il, and will final
" grab for it. When this point is reach
ed, the penny is laid before the monkey
upon the floor, when the animal will
pick it up. The coin is then gradually
moved further and further away, and
finally thrown TO the other side of the
room. With wave of the hand the
monkey is then sent to pick up the coin
