Fast Mail Train.

WASHINGTON, December 24.-The
postal authorities at Washington be-
lieve that the arrangements for a
faster mail between New Orleans and
New York have at last been perfected.
The date now fixed for the new
schedule to go into effect is the 4th of
January, and the authorities believe
that this time there will be no post
ponement. There have, however,
been so many postponements here
tofore that the officials are little
nervous about the matter. The
trouble lies in the fact that there are
three systems between Washington
and New Orleans and it has been
difficult to set them all accommodated
to each other. AS has been explained
in these dispatches before, the new
schedule will be about three hours
shorter, the mail leaving New Or
leans by the Louisville and Nash
Vile at about in the afternoon, in
stead of 3 as at present, which will
give the New Orleans business men
ample time to get off their cores
pondence. The mail will arrive in
New York at the same hour that it
does now.

Her Noblest Work.
Youths COMPANION.

Youths COMPANION.
A young girl belonging to q fash
ionable and exclusive circle in society
married not long ago q man whose
profession brought him into some-
what close business relations with
many worthy, but plain people.
Knowing that it would crafty him
she invited them all to her wedding
reception. One OF her friends, amaz-
ed at finding the house filled with
these homely guests, asked the bride
what it meant.
ut MEANS" she answered, gayly,
"that in my marriage propose not to
advance my pleasure, but his life"
Probably every girl expects or hopes
some day to be bride, but how ma
ny are willing to subscribe to this the
DRY of marriage?
A young girl usually looks for
ward with delight to the love which
is to be given her; or, II she be mer-
canary, to the establishment; or, If
she is ambitious, to the social position
that she hopes to attain. Some girls
look no further that the bridal pomp,
the veil, the gifts, the admiring
crowd. How many remember that
1T Is not only ring WHICH bne nus
band puts upon the wife's hand, but
his honor and his future? She can
make his daily life broad and noble,
or she can drag it down to base levels
and fill it with vulgarity.
No sules, no duenna can keep the
thought of love and marriage out of a
young girls head. 1t is right that
they should be there, but as the most
pure and solemn realities which life
can give to her, not as material for
silly and immodest TESTING.
God may give to a young girl the
ability to paint picture, to write a
poem, to earn fortune; but If he
gives to her, as q wife, human soul
to strengthen and to bring nearer to
him, he has put into her hands the
noblest work which woman can do
on the earth.

Dialogue between Lehman and
Knopps)
Lehman: Knopps, L still hear so
much about the city census, tell me
what it all means?
Knopps: I'll tell you our mayor
was not satisfied with the enumer-
alton of his city as given by the U.
8. enumerators, and SO he ordered a
small census to be taken of it for his
own private pleasure.
Lehman: Bah! He can surely
have that pleasure, and don't see,
why people make so much racket
about it.
Knopps: 1 say so too, but there
are always a few kickers who are
not satisfied when city money is paid
out.
Lehman: What! You say "city
money" paid out? Has then the
mayor used the "city's money" to get
his private census?
Knopps: OF course he has. Do you
think the mayor has gone crazy
enough to pay out his own money for
such private pleasure as that?
Lehman: Yes! But how can the
mayor pay out so much as ST. 300 for
such things without the permission
of the city council?
Knopps: Stupid thing you are! The
mayor is put where he is for that very
purpose, and the city council has
nothing to say but yes"

THE ASHEVILLE CONVENTION.
What Result Will Follow-AH South
ern States Represented.

What Result Will Follow-AH South
ern States Represented.
Mr.. R. w. Andrews who was dele
gated by our Board of Trade to repre-
sent the same at the Southern Inter-
State immigration Convention at
Asheville, N. c., returned yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Andrews was we'll
pleased with the work of the conven-
tion and ways considerable good will
result from the three days session.
The main object of the conven ton was
to devise ways and means for the en-
enlargement of immigration into the
southern states from the northeast
and northwest.
Mr.. Andrews says that the good
work of Judge w. H. BROKER and
Mr.. s. J. T. Johnston was very COM
mendable, and 1t was mainly due to
their efforts that San Antonio stands
the show she does stand, of
capturing the convention for
1901. The only thing that might
prove a drawbac in this regard, is
our lack of proper hotel accommoda-
ton.
Ashev1lle Is quite an important
point in North Carolina and is great
health resort, being situated in the
western mountains of the state. The
town has been made what it is, by its
superior hotel accommodations. 1t is
estimated that fully 5000 visitors will
be booked for the resort this winter,
some of the hotel rooms being engaged
for months in advance.
"Too much credit for the hospita-
BILE manner in which the delegates
were received" said Mr.. Andrews,
"can not be given the people of Ashe-
vile. Every citizen felt it a kind of
duty TO politely give all information
sought"
The convention was very largely
attended, every southern state being
represented. To obtain this conven-
ton for San An tonic, is worthy of
the effort. Jacksonville, Fla, is her
most important rival for the honor.

Increasing the Speed of Trains.

Increasing the Speed of Trains.
From the Forum.
There seems no serious difficulty,
on the engineering side, in securing
and maintaining, a speed of 100 miles
an hour, or probably more; but the
capitalists is here intimidated.
Higher speeds cost money for initial
and operative expenses in vastly
higher ratio than either increase of
speed or the returns to be expected
on capital so invested. Our fastest
trains do not directly pay, even now,
when the wear and tear of engines,
cars, roadbed and bridges, to say
nothing of flesh and blood, nerves
and health, are considered. When
the people want higher speed, and
need them so badly as to be able and
willing to pay for them, the engineers
will construct, and the railroads will
furnish, trains Of still higher velocity
and of still greater safety.

A Mothers Sacrifice,

The other day there was case or
record of woman purloining q pair
of pantloons and effecting her escape.
When finally she was arrested the
parties interested in the affair refus-
ed to prosecute for the paltry theft of
pair of pants, and she was tried be-
fore the police magistrate under the.
broad charge of disorderly conduct.
Upon the testimony of the clerks.
of the establishment from
which the pants were stolen
she was fined five dollars or
five days. The woman who did not
feel as though she was able to pay for
the pants, had enough money to pay
her fine.
What made her steal the goods?
The detective tells you she stole them
for the sake of a few pennies the
pawn broker would advance upon
them. Not so. The woman, with
tears in her eyes, when asked
why she stole the goods since
she had enough money to pay
for them, said:
ST have the little money for my fine
to pay the "juez," but 1 wanted to
give my husband and the children
something for Christmas. 1 had not
enough money for them all and was
trying to get enough to go all around.
For myself did not want to get any
thing but they needed everything"

A VERY GOOD CATCH.
A Bear Story and q Fishing Story
Combined IN One.

A Marysville man who recently
spent week or two in the wilds OF
6iskiyou, says the Marysville APP
peal of August 7th, was entertain
ing a party of friends last evening
with an account of some OF his ex-
periences.
Before l tell you," said ne, "of
nv most curious adventure, | must
remind you that truth is stranger
than fiction. l would hesitate to
relate it among strangers, tor tear
that / might be suspected OF draw
ing the long bow.
1 was fishing one morning in a
deep pool at the Horseshoe Bend
of the McCloud, and had on my
line two artificial flies of large size,
with which had been vainly trying
to get a rise from Dolly Warden
trout. l was in the act of making Il
cast, with the line and flies thrown
straight back and over my head, to
clear the steep bank, when | heard
a howl of rage and pain. 1t was a
blood-curdling sound, and seemed
to come from directly overhead.
At the same time l felt that my line
had caught in some hing. Before
I could look around huge object
passed directly over my head from
the rear and plunged into the water.
1t was grizzly bear, and my knees
knocked together as | realized that
he had jumped for me and had
barely missed. In moment he
came to the surface, and | expected
that he would climb out in a jltfy
and chew me up.
1T was an awful situation. The
bank was so steep that / could not
escape that way, and before could
crawl out of the bend along the
edge of the deep pool the monster
could seize me.
"But there was something wrong
with the bear. Instead OF coming
for me, as | expected, he tioundered
about and, getting out into the
swift current, was rapidly carried
down stream, swimming now in one
direction and then in another. In a
moment he had disappeared around
the bend and | felt that was safe. "
"What became of him?"
excitedly asked one of the listeners.
Cant say" said the truthful
sportsman. 1.-The walking was very
bad, and I didn't wish to cultivate
his acquaintance. But when | took
up my rod to resume fishing found
out what was the matter with him.
NV flies had hooked him in the
eyes-one hook in each eye-and
in the act of making the cast | had
torn both eyes from their sockets.
That accounted for the bears irri-
tation and attack, as we'll as for his
missing his spring and failing to
get out of the river. | put sinker
on my line, and using the bears
eyes for bait soon caught fine
Dolly Warden. There's no bait that
can beat bears eye, if you can only
get it fresh, and where you want it. "

To Get Rid of Ants.

they have come. Corrosive subli-
mate is deadly poison and should
