He Found a Little Woman Who
Made Him Earn His Breakfast.
Albany Journal.
A dirty tramp called at the house of a
Bethlehem widow. living alone, about
O'Clock in the morning, and offered to
saw wood in return for a breakfast.
The woman eyed him suspiciOusly.

was given a bountiful meal. At its con-

'Pll keep my eyes wide open tight"
he said, grinning. land il see man
as wants ter saw yer wood for his
breakfast I'll give him yer address,"
Then he opened the door and walked
out.
He had gone but few steps when he
heard the widows sharp voice calling a
halt. He turned with an oath, and saw
a gun pointed squarely at him. The
widow ordered him to come right back.
He came back and sawed not one, but
two cords of wood, killed and plucked
two chickens, whitewashed the hem
house, and cleaned out the cow stable.
1t is expected that he will not repeat
the visit in a hurry.

The Delegates Hopeful.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1o.-Delegates
Mathews and Toole continue to be
hopeful of admission during this ses-
sion! Mr.. Toole says: ''Tbe remarks
of Chairman Springer yesterday were
timely, brave and honest. The Repub-
lican party may stand in our pathway
and' bar the passage to statehood, but
naught else than narrow partisanship
ean5now wreck our hopes"
Mr.. Mathews says: There seems to
be but slight difference now between
the two houses, and there ought'tO be
an agreement reached this week. The
Democrats seem anxious to retrieve
their years of blundering on the terri
torial question"
The general impression tonight is
that there will be a monkey and parrot
time tomorrow between the two parties
in the house.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

The passage Of the Nicaragua bill by

that the great work will be pushed to

faith within three years. The capital

RAILROADS ARE HAMPERED
Too Much by Legislation, Says
President Perkins.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-The Times to-
morrow will print long letter from
President Perkins, of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy, anaiyZing the West
ern railroad situation. He ridicules
the idea that the subordinate
officials are responsible for the frequent
decentralization of rates. If there is any
blame to be attached to railroad man.
ayers it belongs, he says, to the head.
and not the subordinates. That the
managers are anxious to maintain rates
he does not think there is any question,
but it remains to be seen, he says,
whether the present effort of the presi-
dents to provide for this with
out arranging to divide the
traffic and to compensate the
weaker lines will work any better now
than in the past. If not, he thinks that
some way must be found to make di-
vision and to pay the weak lines, and if
this cannot be done without the help Of
congress, that help must be obtained or
railroad property will continue to suffer
until the weaker lines are worn out and
sold to the stronger at half their cost.
1t is Mr. Perkins opinion that il the
railroads were left free to work out
their own salvation they and the public
would fare better.

As related in the New York Tribune,
Thomas, in 1879, secured periniasion FROM
the Government to search the wreck for
he treasure. Among those whom he got
interested in the scheme was Hartshorne,
the p.sintiff. Thomas induced Harts-
horne to advance him sums of money At
different times, amounting In all to about
$4,000, Thomas giving his personal pro-
ptrty as security. The gold did not ap-
pear, and the persons, including Harts-
horne, whom he had drawn into the
scheme, demanded an accounting. The
Vice Chancellor decided that Thoma,
should render an accounting, but should
be allowed t25 O week foc services during
the time he was engaged in the fruitless
