A Famous Railroad Case.

One of the most famous cases of re-
cent years was that of Maj. Harold
against the New York Elevated Rail-
road company, arising out of the mem
orable catastrophe at the Forty second
street junction. 1t was that accident
which led to the change in the plan of
the running of the road, and caused
the adoption of the shuttle trains now
in use. There was no question in that
case as to the responsibility of the COM
pany for the negligence of its servants
whereby the accident occurred. The
great legal fight occurred over the
amount of damages to be recovered,
and the case went from court to court
for years.
On the part of the major it was
claimed that he was a confirmed and
hopeless cripple. On the part of the
company it was claimed that the major
was Stimulating ailments for the pur-
pose of charging the damages, and
there was no end of conflicting expert
medical testimony. The major finally
secured big verdict. But the major
had another legal contest before he
settled up with the distinguished coun-
sci who won his case for him. Inter

Divided the Honors.

The day when the merchants had
their gala day in Atlanta an amusing
incident took place. Col. Livingston
was riding in a carriage and was NOV
ing along with the procession Direct
ly donkey came out of an alley and
joined the procession just behind Col.
Livingston's carriage. The crowd
cheered the donkey, and the colonel
thinking the cheers were meant for
him began to bow and smile. The
crowd noticed him, and gave tremen-
pous yell, whereupon the colonel re-
doubled his efforts to acknowledge the
compliment. The procession took in
the town, with Col Livingston bowling
and smiling, the crowd yelling and the
donkey braying. Alpharetta Free

The Yankees of the Orient.


The Armenians are the Yankees of
the orient. They are the brightest,
brainest and snartest in business of all
the eastern peoples. The Turks say,
"Twist Yankee and you make Jew;
twist Jew and you make an Arlne-
Man. THE Greeks say that one Greek
is equal to two Jews, and that one Ar
menian is equal to two Greeks, and
another saying is: From the Greeks
of Athens, the Jews of Salonika and
from the Ar1nenians everywhere, good
Lord, deliver us!" These three races,
in fact, do the bulk of the business of
the far east. They own all the large
business establishments, run all the
banks, and are che clerks of the Le-
want.
l found rich Armenians in India COM
peting with the Parsees, and working
side by side with the half starved Ben
galese accountants I travelled with
one coming from Singapore to Calcut-
ia, and he told me he had been to
Hong Kong to sell pearls to Cinnamon.
He showed me a handful of beautiful
pearls, and told me he was getting rich
out of his business. On the Egyptian
railroads l found that the conductors
were Armenians, and one of the bright
est men met during my stay at Con-
was one of the sultan's pri-
vate secretaries, who spoke half dozen
different languages, and who was of
Armenian birth. Frank G. Carpenter
