Thinking it over.

Hot-headed persons sometimes prove
the mildest of citizens, when they can De
persuaded to stop and think. 1t has been
said that douehe of cold water will dis
perse any mob, and reflection is certainly
the salutary cold bath of the passionate
individual.
When Prince Bismarck and Count
Rechberg were Prussian and Austrian
ambassadors, respectively, at the Frank
fort diet, Bismarck soon discovered that
the count, though an honorable man :,
was hot-tempered and passionate. Count
Rechberg, in his turn, cordially disliked
Prussia and its representative, but did all
in his power to keep on amicable terms
with him.
Still, there were many occasions, botL
political and social, where the friction be-
tween them became very apparent. One
day things came to such point that the
count, losing his temper utterly, ex-
claimed:
lone of my friends shall wait on you
in the morningl"
eWhy all this unnecessary delay?'
replied Herr Won Bismarck, coollY. sin
all probability you have a pair of pistols
handy. Let us settle the matter imme-
diately. While you get the things ready
l will write q report about the whole
transaction, which, came in as killed :,
request you to forward to Berlin.
Each set about his task. When Bis
marck had finished his paper he gave it
to Count Rechberg aud requested him TO
examine it.
The counts passion had, in the mean
time, given way to sober reflection
After perusing the report he said: "What
you have written is quite correct, but is
it really worth while to fight duel for
such a reason?''
ssThat is exactly what 1 wish to be
told, - said Bismarck, and the matter
ended.

A GOOD SCHEME.
New York's Postmaster Prepared for Emer.
geney in Case Of the Late Arrival Of
steamers-Estlmate Of the Work.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 5.-The new system
adopted by Postmaster VanCott of hav-
ing large force subject to the emergency
call in the event of the late arrival of
ocean steamers on Sunday, has
been productive of good results.
Yesterday afternoon and last even
ing the mails of the following
steamers were received at the postofioe:
Umbria, 1873 sacks of letters and SOP sacks
of papers; Labretagne, $50 sacks of let
tiers and papers; City of Chester, five
sacks of letters and papers, Bothnia, one
sack of mail; Bermuda, two sacks of
miscellaneous matter; Orinoco, nine
sacks of mail and Prinz Wilhelm seven
sacks. Some idea may be had of the
amount of work to be done on this Watf
when it is known that the ERdbfis
brought to this port 20 ,6s5 letPrs for
distribution out of the city, and about
80 200 for delivery here; the Labretagne,
81 ,554 letters for outside points and about
10 900 for New York. There were in ad-
dition 126 1872 letters for other places and
Al ,141 for this city brought by the Brit
tanic on Saturday, besides miscellaneous
mail brought by other steamers above
mentioned. On first delivery this morn
ing all this great bulk of letter mail was
sent out by carriers for persons resident
in the city, while those for distribution
elsewhere were dispatched by the first
trains after the arrival at the postofioe.
Before nine O'Clock this morning the
work was entirely cleared up.

dolls clothes. Then they took the little
undergarments down into the kitchen /,
washed them and spread them on the

"After that, they did them up care

sprigs OF lavender in the little trunk.

MORE DENVER GOSSIP.


The Union Pacific Still in the Absorption
Business-RiIlie Ross Office Gobbled Up.
Sometime since it was reported that
Auditor Ross of the Union Pacific Gulf
system, with his ofioe, would be trans
ferred from Denver to Omaha, but it is
now stated that he will not be transferred
to Omaha, and the question of the hour
is: t'what will be done with himg
The Rocky Mountain News says, cit
has been decided to abolish the office in
Denver, and those of the clerks who are
needed will be sent to Omaha. Auditor
Ross was surrounded with very faithful
corps of assistants and he informed them
that those who wished to go to Omaha,
that he would gladly give them letters
recommending them to Erastus Young,
head auditor of the entire system. II is
likely that at least ten or twelve OF the
clerks will go to Omaha. The absorp-
ton of the Fort Worth Office will necss-
EARLY create demand for more clerks in
the main office, and the Denver men will
be given the preference.
As to what will become OF Ross in this
shuttle is not known, but gentleman in
this city who is not only friend of Mr..
Ross, but also OF all the Denver officials,
is authority for the statement that
'fBilIie will mol getleft.

For some time past the GAZETTE has
been publishing the weekly earnings o

a qualification in the evidenced prosperity
of the favorite Panhandle route. This

cursion train arrive in Fort Worth from
Kansas some time during the Spring
Palace. This excursion will be COM
posed of Kansas editors. Would it not
be good idea for the Fort Worth and
Denver railroad company to give them g
free ride up the "Denyer' road, say as
far as Amarillo?
In this way the Santa Fe road used to
receive a great amount of free sdYer-
Using in the early days of Kansas.
They would invite the press associations
of Illinois and Ohio TO visit Kansas.
They would do SO, and would return
home and for weeks afterward their
papers would be full of the great country
they had seen in Kansas.
We have better country here in the
Panhandle than Kansas ever was or ever
will be, and If the Denver road will give
this free excursion to these editors, we
will entertain them along the road.

In Better Condition Than overtime Crops

John Hoeny, Jr., of Abilene was in
the city last night on his way to the
meeting of the Texas Press association at
Houston. He reports no damage to crops
in the Abilene country BY the recent
heavy rains, and says the country and
her people are in better condition now
than they have ever been. Lands are
selling every day to actual settlers who
keep moving in and opening up
new homes. The acreage in
small grain, cotton and corn
is three times as large as last year, and
the prospects now warrant the prediction
that the yield per acre will equal that of
1888 and 1889. improvements of all
kinds are being made in the city of
Abilene prominent among which are two
new hotels to cost S25, 900 each, ten new
two-story brick business houses,
and two $4,000 residences, an
electric light plant and q belt line
of street railway Abilene has
just completed two new pressed brick
works with q capacity of 90, 900 brick
per day, which are sold at home and the
surplus shipped to Fort Worth and Dali
las. Work on the artesian well, for
which SI5 900 has been subscribed will
begin next month. The district fair
this season will be grander and larger
than ever. "No, the late heavy rams
have not damaged our section, - said
Mr.. Hoeny, ''but on the other hand have
put our people in a way to grow more

railroad columns an article intimating
that Mr.. Gould has some designs on the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass road, and
put the question whether or not it might
not be that he would purchase the road
and by doing SO make his system in Texas
complete. 1t has not been announced
that the Arkansas Pass road has been
sold yet, put it has been announced that
the Western Union has purchased the
telegraph lines of that road. The sale
was concluded at San Antonio few days

that Mr.. Gould bad purchased the road
also. 1t begins to look as though THE

Gross Earnings at Ruinous Rates.
The Remedy.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 5.-The vice-presi-
dent of one of the leading Western roads
says: It may seem strange, but it is q
fact, that there has never been time
when there was more buying of business
BY Western lines than to-day.
The Atchison, IN particular, is at
fault in this respect. That is the
real secret Of Vice. President Goddard IS
resignation. The Atchison people are
moving heaven and earth to make big
gross earnings to help along their reor-
ganiZatiou. They have simply told their
president that he must roll up big gross
earnings no matter how he gets them.
This he is doing. Gould is not buying
business, we are all satisfied on that
point, neither is the st. Paul nor Chi
cago and Alton. The difficulty could
be remedied If the interstate COM
merce committee did its duty, and
prosecuted the offenders. They have
power to send for men and books, but
they simply don't do it. The rates at
which the roads are doing business is
ruinous. The gross earnings are very
large, but the net are frightful in COM
parisOn.
