A Newsboy's Strange Experience With a
Skeleton and the Senator.
You'll notice that this long session is
not having any apparent effect on Senator
ingalls," said gentleman from the far
West to n Washington Star reporter IN the
Senate gallery. There was nothing in the
Senator's appearance to dispute the asser-
ton, so the reporter assented, and the gen.
tleman from the West went on: " l used to
know ingalls, years ago. He was thinner
then than he is now, and looked just about
the same. He lived in AtchisOn and had
the reputation of being possessed of more
brain and less flesh than any other adult in
the State of Kansas. One day he went up
to the Office of friend of his, doctor, and
Whlle ne was in there newsboy dashed In.
Now, the kids who sold papers around
Atchison in those days were the noisiest

and his murmurings continued right
straight along.
You have scared that boy to his DEATH"
exclaimed the budding Senator, who was
overlooking with Indignation. Then he
went to the window and bending out called
to the grimy but pallid face of the victim: :
Come back here, boy; Pll buy some OF
your papers. He shan't hurt you"

" STUDENT" BRAKEMEN.
The S. p. Trainmen Will Have
no More of Them.

Whatever may have been said at the mys-
FERROUS conference between the Southern
Pacific trainmen and officials at Fourth and
Townsend streets last Saturday, it is GER
tain that the result of the conference has
not pleased the complaining employees.
A brotherhood man when asked yester
day tine cause Of so much dissatisfaction,
before the men had received any answer
from the company, replied;
They have not refused our demands,
principally because 1t is bad time in the
season to nave strike on band. There is
a great deal of fruit they want us to move
yet; but, while they did not absolutely re-
fuse to grant our petition for fair deal,
they attempted to prove by skillfully man
ipulated figures that the Southern Pacific
Company within the last five months has
not been paying expenses. That is one of
their apparently strong arguments.
"One Of the officials Of the company was
asked "A question at the conference concern
ing the financial statements submitted for
our benefit which completely staggered him.
| can't tell what it was until after Tues
day"
Another brotherhood man was seen few
moments before he left ON his run for Sac-
ranent0.
"Do you see that boy said hep" pointing
to youth who was engaged in coupling an
air-hose on freight train. "He is not a
railroad man. He is what we call stu
dent, and has been here only four days. In
about four days more the conductor will
give him a note to the Division Superin-
tendent stating that he, the student, isquaIi-
fed to perform a freight brakeman's duties.
Then he will be sent out on run, perhaps
the best regular run on the SYSTEM while
an older and better railroad man, "a sure
enough railroad man. is kept on the extra
lists and obliged to report day after day
without getting even an hours work.
This Is one of the abuses we are going
to correct, and regarding this matter the
men Will not move an inch. Together with
the increase of wages, these are the two
most important demands in the whole
schedule, though there are many other
minor causes of grievance which 1t was
thought best to at least attempt to readjust
while. We were in the readjustment bust
ness"
A strike on the Southern Pacific, from
New Orleans to FL Paso, seems inevitable
within the next forty-eight hours. The
engineers demand the reinstatement of
several discharged men. which the company
positively refuses to accede to, claiming
that every man removed was discharged for
good and sufficient reason.

George Payne has just retired from
the service of the royal family of En-
gland. He was in the employ Of Wilt
lam w., and when Victoria. assembled
the throne he was selected as the safest
and most skil1ful man to drive her coach
when the young Queen appeared in pub,
lie. So for fifty-two years Payne has
been the Queens coachman in London,
and it is said that the Queen is sincerely
distressed because the infirmities of age
necessitate this faithful servants re-
tirement from active duty. For more
than sixty years Payne was an attache
of the royal household. He has been
provided for handsomely, and permits
sion is given him to go and come when
ever he pleases. Every morning the
old gentleman makes his appearance at
the royal news, takes good, long look
at the coaches and carriages he has
driven so many times, prowls around
among the old haunts, and discourses
sagely with the hostlers and grooms.
The old fellow seems to think that he
has proprietary interest in the news,
and orders have been given that he
shall be humored so far as possible in
his conceits and whims.
The eight horses which are attached
to the royal coach used upon state oc-
casfons are OF the famous Hanoverian
breed-big, stalwart'creams, with ghast-
-ly wall eyes; most forks pronounce them
splendid, specimens of equine beauty,
but do not fancy them at all. These
horses are still bred in Hanover, and
the severestpains are taken to keep the
stock pure. If at birth the colt is not a
pure cream, or If, subsequently, it de-
velops some defect, 1t is killed. In this
way none but sound and distinct-colored
horses are to be met with in this pecu-
liar brand. London Letter.

The monks and cures of France have,

sion of Lent these holy men
have been in the habit of relieving
their privations by employing their in
