A BERLlNER's PHOTOGRAPH.

He Got Baron Rothschild to Press she
Button for Him and He Has the Pictures.
From the New York Sun.
The fact that Baron Albert Rothschild Yields
the camera has Just become known 70 the con-
tinental pubic through an amusing incident Of
his late summer travels in north Italy. He was
out early one August morning in his knicker-
boekers and pitched helmet and with the famil-
lar little black case swung from his shoulder.
Just as he was preparing TO take picture Of
winding mountain path before him fat Ber-
liner and his wife dropped from . sideway into
the perspective.
"Ah, Mr.. Photographer" shouted the Ber-
liner in Prussian dialect "You are Just the
man We were looking for. We wish our por-
traits with this colossal background. Do ms q
good job and there will be something extra in
ii for you"
The baron in embarrassment explained that
he was landscape photographer and knew
little about doing portraits. The Berliner pro-
tested against this bit OF modesty, pressed
half crown into the baron's hand TO reassure
him and then bowling his head and possessing
himself Of his wife's arm in German photo
graphic fashion he presented his expansive
front Tor the taking Of the picture. Tho baron
pressed the button several times, took the Ber-
liners home address and with repeated prom
Uses 70 90 good job" in return for liberal
pay, COD. went on his way
The Berliner and his wife went back to Bcr-
lin without having heard from him. They were
just about giving up all ideas Of ever learning
what had become Of their photographer and
their half crown when a dozen cabinet photo
graphs came in package marked Vienna. On
the bit of otherwise blank pasteboard Just be-
low each picture was the heavy signature in
proper Photographic style: "Rothschild-" In
an accompanying note, Baron Albert Roths-
child hoped that his work would be satisfactory
and regretted that pressure of business had
prevented him from delivering the pictures
sooner"

A Euel Famine.

A fuel famine is feared in Nebraska on
account of the lack of cars to transport coal
from the Union Pacific mines in Wyoming to
points in that state. Already q number of
towns have reported that the coal supply has
been exhausted and no more could be secured.
In case Of severe weather or a heavy fall OF
snow great suffering would ensue, many of
the towns in that state are entirely dependent
on the Union Pacific for coal.

The Signal Was Not Seen,

The evidence OF survivors Of the wrecked
cruiser Serpent goes TO show that the light OF
the Village lighthouse had not been seen by
the lookout on the Serpent. although the light
is usually visible for fourteen miles 1t is be-
lieved that the Serpents compass was affected
by the iron in the reef, and that astronomical
observations were impossible, owing to the
bad state of the weather. A Spanish gun boat
which recently passed the scene Of the disaster
ashore is supposed to be that Of the commander
Of the Serpent.

Jay Gould Writes q Letter on the West.
ern Railroad Question.

Jay Gould Writes q Letter on the West
ern Railroad Question.
Mr.. Jay Gould has written the following
letter on the railroad question to the editor of
the New York Sun:
Sir: have read with much interest your re-
cent articles in reference to the railway sit
uation west of Chicago and St. Louis.
group Of roads known az the western and south
western systems traverses the most fertile and
most rapidly developing territory Of the United
States. The stock and bonds in these proper
ties are held by thousands Of investors in New
York and New England and the eastern
states, and upon the prosperity of
the roads many small investors depend.
Something over eighteen months ago, dur
ing period Of great depression, the great
banking houses, Messrs. brexel, Morgan Il
Co., Messrs. Kidder. Peabody Il Co. and Messrs.
Brown Bros. invited the presidents Of these
roads to meet at Mr.. Morgans residence. The
result Of that meeting was the formation Of the
so-called ''presidents' agreement" and 1t may
interest you to know the difference in the net
earnings OF this group Of roads as between the
rates which we're established and maintained
for several months after that agreement and
the rates that have prevailed under the loose
and disorganized state Of affairs that has ex-
listed since the agreement was broken, each
road looking out for ITSELF
i estimate the total number Of tons moved
one mile annually by this group Of roads to be
16, 0OO, 000, 900. The auditor Of one of these
roads has furnished me q statement showing
the difference between the rates under the
''presidents' agreement and the present rates,
which amounts to q decrease of 40 mills per
ton per mile. Applying this difference Of 40
mills to the 5000, 0OO. 900 gross annual tons,
one mile gives the startling figure of S22. 400, :
900 annual decrease in the net earnings of this
system of roads as between their operation
under the ''presidents' agreement and the
loose methods now prevailing.
Under this condition Of things IL IL hoped
that the bankers can be induced to call the
presidents together again, with the assurance
that they have the whole mass Of investors be-
hind them.

Congressman Harmer's Big Majority.
To the Editor Of the EVENING STAR:
In looking over the result Of the recent cleo
ton In Pennsylvania the independent voters
adhered to their favorites a. persistently
a. they struck at their enemies, % that
in the case Of some candidates, politics, in
. partisan sense, entered very little into their
choice. This was remarkably shown in the fifth
congressional district Of Pennsylvania. Hon.
A. G. Harmer. who has represented that dis
trict for nearly twenty years, received . vote
not often accorded to a candidate, which Of IL
self must be exceedingly gratifying to him, a.
il was to his many warm, personal friends in
this city, for whose local interests Mr.. Harmer's
devotion dates back to the early days when
the district had hard struggles for congress
sional recognition. Two years ago he had q
plurality Of 6,6S5; at the last election he had q
plurality OF .S2A and majority over all can
didatss Of 11,l2l. His own ward and home
gave him . majority of 2,57S, the highest ever
given any candidate before the same people.
There is no misinterpreting the language Of
such an Endorsement
