Several veteran railroad men were
seated i'm the smoking compartment Of u
Pullman car the other day. The train was
due i'm Detroit about two hours later. A
discussion arose ns to- the rate of speed
,hat they were travelling. One of the
party guessed that the train was going
over ~ mil les am hour. Another estimated
the speed "a Al miles, another at 81, and so
OH. Finally one OF the men took ont his

minute. looking at IL steadily all the
while.
w ARE going 46L miles AN hour he
said, looking up from his watch.
One of the other men thereupon took
out ms watch, held il in the palm of his
hand, and kept his eyes riveted upon the
dial, never once looking out of the win
dow. After the lapse of half u minute he
looked up and said they were travelling at
the rate of A. miles AN hour.
"How can you tell the rate of speed 10y
siaply looking AT your watch?" in
quired an Interested witness of these pro-
cecdinRs.
"why, easy enough replied The rail-
road man. "Iou know, every time the

Volapuk's Rival.

'Volapuk has a vigorous rival in the
Chinook Jargon, which is the medium of
communication between about fifty tribes
who would otherwise be utterly unable to
understand one ano5hern This was said in
Chicago a few evenings ago by Dr. C. E.
Bevin of Portland, Ore This language is
not hundred years old,n continued he,
''but it is now in current use over vast
territory in Oregon, British Columbia and
Alaska. It originated because of the great
number of distinct languages in this region
1t was impossible to do much business a ong
the Pacific cast until a trade lam
guage of easy form had gradually
formed itself. | think that Horatio
Hale, at one time q member of the United
States exploring expedition, was about the
first to devote any attention to this subject.
He drew up q vocabulary of aaput 250
words. OF these Is were of Nootka origin,
Ill were Chinook, 10 formed by onoma-
top9ia, 81 English, "a French, and the
remainder of doubtful origin. In 1868 the
vocabulary had increased to 500 words and
a simple grammar had developed. Now
we often hear Jargon in Oregon. There
are dictionaries of Jargon, and sermons are
preached aud songs sung in the new
Chinook. II has rendered an immense
service to commerce in our part of the
world, and demonstrated that an interna-
tional language would be practicable"

RICHMOND'SLOVE OFLEE.
HIS STATUE DRAWN BY MEN,
WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

The Trucks Gayly Decorated With
Flags and Pictures of the Dead Gen.
erel-Confederate and Flags of the
Southern states Floating Over the
Procession.
RICHMOND. VA, May z. Richmond
never witnessed or participated in such a
scene as the ceremonies incident to the re-
moval this evening of the trucks containing
the eque,trian statue OF Gen. r. E. Lee
from the railway station to Allen plat,
where the statue is to be erected. Shortly
after o'clock procession was formed with
q squad of policemen in front. followed by
the chief marshal, Thomas A. Brander, and
his assistants, mounted. Then came Lee
Camp of Confederate veterans, under whose
auspices the removal was made, followed
by the old veterans organization.
THE TRUCKS DRAWN BY HAND.
Immediately behind them came four
trucks In single file. with men. women and
children Juggling at the ropes. The route of
the procession, which was about one aud a
half miles In length, was down Broad street
to First. through First to Franklin, and out
Franklin to the point of destination. The
line of march was literally packed with
people from the starting point to the finish,
while the cheering and waving of flags was
continuous.
THE ROPES ALWAYS CROWDED.
Here and there grown people would drop
out of line and rush would be made TO fill
their places. The boys and some of the
girls, however, kept their places on the
ropes to the end. At Monroe park, which
was the best vantage ground along the
route Of the procession, the ropes were SO
crowded with people that they were con-
stantly treading on each others heels. As
they passed the park there were 500 grown
ladies and girls whose fair hands held the
ropes. Little tots were carried out into the
streets in their mothers arms and their
small hands placed upon the ropes.
RUSH OF RELIC HUNTERS.
When the destination was reached there
was a scramble by relic hunters for the
ropes with which the trucks had been
drawn, and despite the efforts of the police
they succeeded in cutting them all to pieces
But for the guard of old veterans the boxes
containing the statue would have shared
the same fate. All tho trucks were hand
somely decorated with pictures of Gen. Lee
and flags of the southern states, while here
and there confederate battle flag floated
to the breeze.
