POLL TAXES.
The Tribulations of Railroad Employees
At This Time,

About these days the railroad en-
ployee finds his greatest troubles to
center in the payment of his poll-taxes.
The average non-property-holder is not
too much disposed to pay this exaction
put on him by the body polite, and the
man of the receipt of customs tries to
get even by making the wage-winner
pay two or three times if he can. Officer
Rulo was too sharp for Mr.. Mason's
deputy and saved his second 81 bill. He
paid his poll-tax in March, and when he
saw the tax-gatherer about the office he
went to the bosses and displayed his
receipt, and had his name taken off.
But there his name was all
right enough down for the sec
ond poll-taX in one year. Another OF
the boys was not so tricky. He is a
fireman away from home good deal,
and the inexorable collector went to his
house and got 81 from his wife. He did
not know this, so when the collector met
him at the depot he paid the tax like a
little man. He got his receipt and took
it home to his wife, who said: why
here is one Of those things already. The
man came yesterday and got $2."
That seemed bad enough, but was
only the beginning, for when the man
went to the office next day

he was presented with a third
receipt for poll-tax, and informed
that the amount would be taken from
his next pay. So here is this poor fell
low with three tax receipts all on the
current fiscal year, costing him $6 in all.
1t may seem an easy thing for him to
get back $4 ON this account, but the boys
say it is not so. They think that money
paid a tax collector on any pretense is
like the footprints of the animals that
went to see king lion. They all walked
into the lair and none of them returned.
The legend over the tax collectors desk
is nutta restigia retrOrsum.
The above are not by any means iso-
lated cases. Some forty poll-taxes were
taken out of the pay car when here last,
from men who had already paid the tax
once.

SLICK CLICK.
He Has Already Made His Mark in
New Orleans.


New Orleans.
A little over a year ago an individual
named Ulysses Simpson Grant Click
fourished in and about Los Angeles.
He appeared to seek his enjoyment at
church entertainments, and attended
the various ministerial meetings held
here, never missing any event of that
nature. Then when Anschlag, who was
sentenced to be hanged for the murder
of Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock in January,
1888, was confined in the county Jail,
the Rev. U. S. G. Click, as he was some
times called, took great interest in
him and acted as interpreter. He also
was said to have labored spiritually in
Anschlag's behalf and was with him
on the last afternoon and evening OF his
life. 1t will be remembered that on the
evening before the day for which the
execution had been set, Anschlag was
discovered to have poisoned himself.
The poison had been concealed in plug
of tobacco which Anschlag obtained in
some manner unknown to the TAILOR. 1t
was suspected at that time that Click
had given Anschlag the poison, and it
almost appeared as ii he had been
waiting for the news that this had hap
pened, for he was one of the first to ap-
pear at the county jail after it had been
discovered that Anschlag was poisoned.
After Anschlag's death Click appeared
less and less in public, and one day it
was rumored that he had disappeared.
This proved to be a fact, and a piano
dealer who had sold him an instrument
on the installment plan reported that
he had found that Click had sold the
piano to another party, pocketing the
money and neglecting to pay the piano
dealer what he owed.
1t appears now that Click, after he
left Los Angeles, went to New Orleans,
where, according to the following item
printed in the Americdn Aduertiser and
Reporter, published in New York, he has
added somewhat to his reputation:
''Ulysses Simpson Grant Click is the
hotel-register name of a swindler who
has been variously doing New Orleans
and vicinity, and who is supposed to
have come from California and to have
gone to Cincinnati. Pass slick Click
around.'

COMMISSIONS ULTlMATUM.
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DEMANDS
AN AMENDMENT


To the Worlds Fair Site Ordinance, Failing
Which They May Refuse to Accept the
Various Park Sites offered by the City
Authorities.
CHICAGO, November 15.-The Executive
Committee of the Worlds Fair National
Commission took decided preliminary
action in the matter of apportoning the
various exhibit halls among the various
parks constituting the site. Uncertainty as
to the extent to which Washington Park
would be used, has some time past consti-
tuted one of the main difficulties of the situ-
alton, involving indirectly the lake front
problem, Several schemes of grouping IN
Washington Park the bulk of the buildings
have been objected to by the South Park
Commissioners rs involving too great de-
facement to the existing landscape improve
ments.
This afternoon the subject was brought to
a climax at lengthy meeting of the Ma
tional Commissions s Executive Committee,
held behind closed DOORS The action of
the committee is embodied in the following
resolutions adopted ON motion of Judge
Martindale, of Indiana:
The Executive Committee, on behalf of the
National Commissioner, respectfully, earnestly
and unanimousl insist that the Local DIrec-
tory obtain from the South Park Commission
without delay. and before the meeting on the
18th, an amendment to their ordinance ex-
tending the use of Washington Park for the
holding of the Exposition, making the same
unconditional. that unless such action be
taken by the South Park Board we will feel
constrained to recommend to the Commission
olutions adopted by the Commission, accepting
the various sites heretofore rendered to it.

HI
NEW YORK, November 15.-"Of course,
! have left my card upon Stanley" said
EIr. Stephen Fiske, pushing the cigars across
the table, in one of the gorgeously decorated
reception rooms, at the Manhattan Club to-
night; "but did not wait to see him. He
belongs to the public now, and there will he
chance enough for talk over old times
with old comrades when he becomes accus-
toned TO his work as a lecturer. He will
find quite small crowd of us here, headed
by Finley Anderson and Joseph Hatton,
and there will be no welcome more hearty;
for nobody can know Stanley without re-
srecting his virllity and liking his sincerity
"lt, instead Of his charges against the
rear guard, at Eambula, he had accused
Barttelot and Jameson of roasting and eat
ing each other, L should have believed him.
When L first knew Stanley, was on the
Herald staff, stationed at the old Queens
Hotel, London, and Stanley was sent out
from New York TO report the British inva-
sion of Abvssinia. He then looked, dressed
and talked like Welsh workingman. His
speech had decided burr. His manner was
rough and suspicious.
WAS USED TO FIGHTING.
He seemed TO me like a man who had
seen hard times, and fought through them,
and trusted nobody. He talked little and
appeared to be more interested In an Arab
horse, which he was commissioned to pur-
chase for Mr.. Bennett, than in his corre-
spondence. He and Colonel Anderson
would discuss how they were to get the
morse safely to London, while was wonder
ing how he could get mis- letters through.
His outfit for the campaign was as plain
and simple as his manner. Evidently he
knew nothing about campaigning with the
British army, and expected to rough it IN
Abyssinia, as he had, on the Confederate
side, during our civil war.
'At last he started for the front, almost
as sullen and reticenI as ever, and the first
letters received from him were full of
Erumbles about the GOODNESS with which he
was treated by the British officers and the
difficulties thrown in his way bv the Off
cials. BY the same mail came letters from
friends of mine in the army asking what
sort OF fellow-the word was rather strong
er-the Herald had sent as its repressn-
tative. L did not wonder at these COM
plants.
NOT A SoCIABLE MAN.
STANLEY was never companionable AT
that time, and until long after, poIiteness
and he were total strangers. He was so
completely engrossed in his work that he
cared for nothing else, and he despised those
amenities which make mp what the English
call a gentleman. The officers made his
stay in camp as uncomfortable as possible.

noon. In his room near Portland Place. He
was In his shirt sleeves, unpacking his lug
gage. A little negro boy sat about and
grlnned. Stanley welcomed Inc like a long
lost brother. l related the Ochiltree joke.
He smiled at it rather grimly, until / re-
minded him that it proved his popularity,
and meant success for his book and his
lectures. Good! That's SOP he exclaimed,
and then promptly offered to put his entire
lecture tour in my hands, if would under
take to manage il. Unfortunately, that was
impossible.
"You notice that Stanley's interview
about the rear guard was with the London
Times reporter, aud that all his diaries and
notes relating to that matter have been
turned over to the Times. This is because
he believes that the Times was the first
English paper to do him justice. 1t is not
so; but he believes it. The Telegraph would
have paid him handsomely for what the
Times gets for nothing. The Ne,cS would
have been much better medium FOR hIH.
But for the sake of old times he prefers the
Times, and makes that slow paper appear
actually enterprising.
IN LOVE WITH AN ACTRESS.
81 took Stanley to the Vaudeville Theater
one night, where a burlesque was being
played. Nellie Powers was the hero, at
tired in white satin suit and white wig,
with her face powdered. Stanley stared at
her, and easped and groaned. Her white
ness daZzled and attracted him. i would
give all am worth to speak to that-that
angel? he said, gripping my arm like wise
IAN introduction to the business man.
ager placed the entire theater at Stanley's
disposal. He went behind the scenes and
he was presented to his white angel. He
simply glared at her. His eyes seemed
afame. They made u strange contrast-she
so white and he so black. But the impre-
sion upon Nellie Powers was not very
favorable. He frightened her, and she was
glad when her cue came and she had to go
on the stage. Stanley, like one dazed, at
tempted to follow her, and L had TO hold
him back. When he looked at me and
found me laughing at him, he gave
thoroughly African grunt and said: Let's
get out of this
TAKING IN BOHEMIA.
81 felt much relieved when we had left
the theater Too much darkest Africa had
transformed a London burlesQue actress
into an angel. Accompanying Stanley to
the Albion and other Bohemian resorts that
night, l learned what it was to be bear
leader. He was as ignorant OF the conven-
tionalities as child, aud as obstinate as
mule, and the only way to control him at
all was TO refer to some incident OF our
iormer comradeship. Then he,would relax
and begin to talk by the hour.
'Aiter that night L lett Stanley to his
book, his lectures and his fame. Since then
he has learned the proprieties, the conven-
tiOnalities and the amenities; has become
one of the worlds greatest men, and has
married one of the most charming women in
England. Yet, when Anderson, Hatton
and myself summon him for our friendly
crack, L feel sure that shall meet the same
old Stanley"
