THE Carnegie library scheme is a
big one. 1t calls for central library
building and four or five branches in
different parts of the city. The Pitts
burg common council has the matter
under advisement. Carnegie propos-
es to establish the library at cost Of
81 900, 900, but asks of the city an an
nual appropriation of $4,000 to main
tain it. The control of the library to
be vested in board of control pro-
vided for by the city council, of
which the mayor, presidents OF coun-
Gil, and president OF the board of ed
ucation, shall be ex-officio members.
If the council accepts Pittsburg will
be provided with a tree public library
that will be of great value to her citi-
Zens.

THE Houston Post has sized up the
situation most accurately In the fol-
lowing.
"Some people may imagine that the
wrangle now going on in congress is
for the adoption or rejection of the
majority report on rules. This is a
mistake. Both parties know that the
report will be adopted by stric par
ty vote, and the speeches thereon are
made to the country, not with any
hope of changing a single vote"
Will the Post advise the democratic
contingent in congress to suppress its
speeches and let the vote come. The
country can judge by the manner in
which business is transacted under
the new rules how much ground the
democratic party has for its wholesale
damnation of them.

NO satisfactory results are as yet

Austin corbIn Paws His Fare

Austin CoTbin pays His Fare.
Philadelphia American.
A good story was told yesterday at
the expense of President Corbin, of
the Reading railroad. If it isn't true
It ought to be. Last summer, after
the improvement had been made on
the Atlantic City branch of the road.
he determined to 60 on q quiet tour of
inspection. A short time before the
officials OF the road had given the con-
duct"rs instructions to carry no per-
son without ticket This rule, the
order stated. was imperative" Mr.
Corhin got on the 4 o'clock express for
Allan tic one Monday afternoon. When
the train was about ten miles from
the city the conductor came around
for tickets.
son, said Mr.. COrbin, II have no
ticket"
"You haven't haven't you" repeat
ed the conductor in cynical tone.
"NO, haven't"
"Well, then pay your fare.n
oh" responded Mr.. COrbin, a new
light breaking on MIN, that's all
right; my name is Austin COrbin."
THAT don't help you any"
why"
Because fyOu were President Har-
rison you would have to pay your fare
on this t'ain.n
AS further argument was useless
Mr.. COrhin paid his fare. The story
ends a little differently from the one
usually heard. The conductor wasn't
discharged, and he didn't have his
salary raised.
In fact nothing happened. He has
remained regular ordinary conduc-
tor to tins day.

The st. Gotthard IN Winter.


From the London Globe.
The man who knows the st. Colt
hard in its summer aspect only knows
but q third of its graces. This may
of course, be said of Switzerland ss q
whole with still greater force. In
the summer. and much more in the
autumn, when the summer sun has
been blazing upon the SHOWS an Il ice
of the uplands tor three active months
it is only among the nights that one
may look for these trace of a wintry
temperature which are so dear to US
in the holiday season. One must
climb for hours to get to the snow
line, and even then, at an altitude of
several thousand feet, the rock comes
through the snow, and the thaw is
constant, while the daylight fingers.
In winter, on the other hand, the
harmony is complete There is then
snow everywhere. The air is deli
ciously keen and invigorating, alike
in the valleys and on the hilltOps,
and brisk movement at the same
time pleasure and a necessity.
At 1000 or 5000 feet above the sea,
the more sensational scenes of the ST
GOtthard are abundant. Streams
toss out of tunnels of ice upon one
81 g, and hurl themselves into the
valleys upon the open side of the line.
The icicles are of size to make one
say, "Prodigious Prodigious ~ like
Dominic Sampson. They are of a
mans proportions, and pendent in
rows, like regiment suddenly glaci-
fled during drill. There is talk of
avslsnches. Some one sees a snow
spray upon slope, and few snow
balls rolling down towards us. But
though there is no present peril of
this kind. the high piles of the snow
by the metals tells of the possibi lities
that wait even upon railway travel
ing in the Alps during winter time.
There is an iciness in the air that
keeps one chill, in spite of shut win
dows and a hot water tin to each trav-
eler. 1t IS natural enough, of course.
One can not be some 5000 feet above
the saa in winter time in Switzerland
without feeling it.
