One day last week a guest at one OF
the best hotels-it is perhaps Just as
well not TO be more exact--was
awakened at an unearthly hour in the
morning bya loud pounding on his
door.
who's therel' he asked. That is
not inst the way he put the question,
but that was its general effect.
Wake up!' answered a voice. Its
8 o'clock, and your train goes in forty
minutes.
1T doesn't. I'm not going on any
train. Go away and leave me aloneN'
This isn't exactly the language he
used. As q matter of fact, il doesn't
come within gunshot Of it.. But re-
duced to Sunday school English that
is the meaning he intended to convey.
Come along, now; come along"
continued the voice. Hustle or you'll
get left. They all swear just SO when
they're sleepy"
Get away from that door, young fell
low, or Ill break your neck" said the
guest.
II guess your wakin' up now" said
the voice, cheerily. Hurry up, or
you'll miss your bus; she goes in half
an hour"
With hat the voice departed. Its
victim communed wildly and pictur-
esquely with himself until he dropped
off to sleep. He bod no more than
fairly entered the land Of Nod before
the voice was back again.
Hi, therel Amt you up YETI
Hump yerself now or you'll miss the
train"
II wouldn't do even TO hint at the
wording of the reply. Suffice it to say
that it was so earnest, so forcible, SO
circumstantial that even the bell boy
was convinced that he had made a
mistake. Again the voice departed,
and again the guest dropped off to
sleep.
Bang! bangl bang! 1t was the bell
boy pounding on the door again. The
language of the guest was quite shock.

"You needn't get mad" said the
voice, pleasantly. II amt calm you
this time. / just come back to tell
you you don't want no train, after all.

III fittIuR Clothes Made Him.

A group Of well dressed and pros
porous looking business men sat about
q table in n famous downtown restau-
rant after luncheon a few days ago,
chatting on all sorts Of topics and
watching the smoke rings from their
cigars float up 10 the frescoed ceiling.
The conversation drifted after a time
into tales Of business success, and the
eldest and most imposing member of
the party did his part by telling this
story:

A Curious Pipe.

One Of the most curious pipes in New
York was made Of wood cut from the
Black Forest Of Italy. Two shepherds
spent their leisure during two years
in its production. Hunting scenes are
deliberately carved on the bowl and
stem, with life like figures of deer and
dogs. II was brought over 10 this
country aud is now the property Of a
business man whose office on Broadway
is often crowded by friends anxious to
look at the wonder. II is about as

A MONTREAL ToeooeAN SLIDE.
Outdoor Exercise That Makes CanAda's
Men Strong and Her Women Beautiful.

--
Men Strong and Her Women Beautiful.
The park toboggan slide is the finest
and longest artificial slide in Montreal,
and il is the most ~fTequenteG. there
are two chutcs, both nearly a mile in
length, and every night during the
season the toboggans are continually
whizzing down them, travelling at the
rate of the Flying Dutchman" Of
world wide railway repute. The scene
ar,und the slide is very picturesque.
A thick mantle of snow is thrown
over ali the surroundings. Torches
placed on either side of the chutes
cast their alternate flashes aud shad-
ows upon the faces of the animated
groups, and outline for an instant the
forms of the travellers who fly past,
leaving a little cloud of snow in their
wake. Montreal's fairest and most ia
nous d~ivinities crowd together on the
landing stage, awaiting impatiently
their turn 10 descend. OF course there
is some danger i'm tobogganing. That's
half the charm of the thing. Down
the far stretching glare Of ice, in the
uncertain light. one can see a tobog-
gan just shooting the dip, with an
other speeding along half way down
the slide, and as the second toboggan
flies into the shadow the sense of dan
ger makes ones veins Jingle with
pleasurable excitement.
The physique of the Canadian peo-
pie has become the admiration and de-
spair of the world. The men are
noted for their Drawn and muscle and
their excellence in all athletic exercise.
The women are famous for their erect
and graceful carriage. They do not
amble, but walk military wise,
straight from the hips. The mingling
of French and Scotch, English and
Irish, has produced a distinct type of
beauty, which combines the graces Of
the Anglo-Saxon race with the wit
and vivacity of the daughters of La
Belle France. / believe that no wo-
man is ugly. There certainly are no
ugly women IN Canada-I do not
think there are any who can honestly
be called plain. The climate forbids
any such thing. All Canadian maid
ems are endowed with a healthful
ruddiness that is at once attractive
and aggressive This is the result of
plenty Of fresh air and exercise, of
snowshoeing, skating and dancing.
Canadians rival all nations in their
skill and knowledge Of the two latter
diversions. New England Magazine.

Associated Press Dispatches
WooDTocK, Ont, Sept. "a. - The
Burchall trial was continued this morn
ing. The prisoner slept well, and was
up in time to perform his usual careful
toilet before being called to face the
judge and jury. He was ready and wait
ing for the sheriff when the latter amiv-
ed with the hack. 1t has been reported
that Burchall is hand-cuffed on the way
to and from the court room, but such is
not the case. He is the quietest and
most easy-going prisoner any jailer ever
had to do with, and neither complains
nor gives trouble in any way. There
was the usual great crowd at the town
hall entrance to see him pass, and his
appearance was warmly criticised by
many.
Burchall has raised up in this COM
munity two clearly defined parties-one
in his favor and the other
against him. The latter party are
the more numerous and are having
their own way pretty we'll during the
present stage of the prosecution, but
the prisoners friends are stalwart and
convinced either that he is innocent or
that it will be impossible to prove him
guilty.
There was a great crowd in the court
room, including over one hundred ladies.
The prisoners wife and sister-in- law
were not present, Mrs. Buchall being too
nervous and i'll to stand the strain of
watching the proceedings.
DIR. Taylor, the physician, called to
see Benwell's body when found in the
swamp, testified that his clothing was
frozen to the ground. 1t had lain there
four or five days. His examination
showed that Benwell died of wounds in
the head, so located that it could not
have been suicide.
In the afternoon Pelley was recalled
and recognized several letters, written
by Burchall, which were put in evi-
dence.
Grigg, the Princetown sexton, was
questioned as to the attempt, as he sus-
pected, to open the grave and steal Ben
wells body, He was unable to identity
the persons whom he frightened away.
Frank Pierce, teller in bank at Nj
agra Falls, related how Burchell came
into the bank February oath, and said
he was an agent of the British govern
ment, buying horses in Canada, and de-
posted 1852, including eleven English
sovereigns.
This point the crown works in with
the statement of Peley that Benwell,
the murdered man, had handful of
sovereigns with him.
An important discovery was made by
the detectives today. Burchell's attor-
neys place great stress on the fact that
f. G. Benwell registered at the Com
mercial hotel at Brantford, on January
18th. Today two young men of Brant-
ford confessed that they made the entry
for joke. This is considered heavy
blow ON Burchell.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
No BETTER SITE COULD HAVE BEEN
SELECTED.
The National Commission Takes an Ad-
journment-Uncle Jerry Rusk Makes
Some Suggestions.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The executive
committee OF the worlds fair national
commission adjourned this evening sub
ject to call. This afternoon the COM
mittee drove to Washington Park, ac-
companied by Director-General Davis
and Secretary of Agriculture Rusk.
After an elaborate inspection, it was the
unanimous decision of those present,
that a better location could not have
been secured. Commissioner Martindale
explained the features OF the site, point
ing out particularly the means of com
munication by five different railroads on
the west, the elevated road, two cable
lines and four horse car lines, directly
west and north, besides the boulevards
and railroad and lake facilities on the
east side.
Before separating the committee took
under consideration number OF i'm
portant suggestions made by President
Palmer, Commissioner DeYoung OF
California, Commissioner-at-large Nc
Donald and others. Secretary Rusk has
submitted memoranda of numerous
valuable suggestions for the conduct OF
the exposition, etc. The secretary asks
especial attention to the suggestions re-
lating to the food exhibit, which is oil
the utmost Importance, in his judgment
He speaks at some length nof what the
exhibits should include, and says they
should be grouped by themselves in one
great building-a food hall-and should
be so arranged that each intelligent
visitor may carry away useful lesson
The classification committee met
and organized today. This is one of the
most important committees of the ma
tional commission. AS nothing further
can be done by the local directors in the
way of planning buildings until the
scope and general plan of the expo
sition is laid out, the committee ap
pointed a subcommittee, consisting OF
Dere iIllinois), De Young California;
McClelland tPennslyvania), Ryan (Nortr
Dakota), and 1irst tFloriGa), who will
meet day and night until they complete
the general plan of the exposition.

GALLO GALL.
The French Running Things With High
Hand in Newfoundland.

ST. JOINS, N. F., Sept 24.-The
French have been carrying things with
a high hand here. The British authori-
ties seem to have deserted the people
altogether A Frenchman named
Bichel, owner and captain OF the schoon-
er Marie, on entering the harbor of Port
au-Basque about three weeks ago, took
away and destroyed a net belonging to a
fisherman of that place. The fisherman
demanded payment therefor, but Bichel
refused, and then threw the fisher
man overheard. The fisherman swan
ashore and obtained a summons fol
Bichel, which he ignored, whereupon
the magistrate issued writ to attach his
vessel and ordered Officer Wilcox to
serve it.
Wilcox did so, but Bichel still refused
to obey and hoisted the French flag,
Wilcox refused to leave the vessel until
the damage was paid, and Bichel set
sail, taking Wilcox with him. After tax
ing the officer twenty miles to sea Bchel
ordered the crew to throw him over
board, but Wilcox successfully resisted
Bichel refused the officer either food or
shelter. At length the French war ship
Indre was met, and her commander or
dered Wilcox to leave, telling him he
had no right to interfere with French
subjects on French shores. Wilcox was
arrested by the officers of the Indre, and
after his writ and other papers had been
taken from him he was put ashore at the
Bay of st. George.
Upon the magistrate hearing OF this he
ordered her majesty's ship Emerald to
the Bay of St. George. The Emerald
refused to go, and Bichel escaped. He
was recaptured on the 18th inst, tried
and sentenced to two years imprison-
ment at hard labor. The inhabitants
are prepared to protect their homes at
whatever cost to Great Britain.
The bait act this season has cost the
colony $140,000, and the government
collected from all fishing vessels only
100000, showing a direct loss to the
country of $1,000. Premier Whiteway
has promised the repeal of the act.

Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-25

These people are demanding not only
that the present first-class character of
the Union Pacific shall be maintained,
but that every dollar that possibly can
be spared from it's earnings shall be
used in the settlement and extension of
the road, and they are acting within
reason for, the yearly increase in pop
ulation business of their section
requires extraordinary facilities. Con-
sequently there is no such thing as
resting upon it's oars possible for the
Union Pacific until it shall have given
the millions destined to spread over the
plains and mountains of the west and
northwest all the accommodations for
freight and passenger traffic they will
be entitled to.
We are convinced, say the directors,
that the present management of the
company is an honest and wise one. 1t
offers, in return for the extension of the
time for the payment of its debt and a
lower rate OF intsrest, a mortgage on
it's entire property, which would in
crease its security to the government
to the amount above that held at the
present, of $34 800, 900, as shown in Sen
atorFrye's report. This proposal from the
company is incorporated in the Frye bill
now before the senate, a measure which
the directors believe if passed would
remove completely the embarrassment
under which the Union Pacific suffers at
present further insure to the govern
ment the ultimate repayment of every
dollar which it has advanced to the
company, ,and relieve the people who rely
upon the Union Pacific for accommoda-
IL
the road. The provision in the bill
which makes the government an ordi-
nary creditor, ard leaves the debtor
company free-handed to conduct it's bus
mess without interference, is, the direc-
te,rs helieve q wise ono
