RAILWAY BoYCoTTED
Which is Likely to Wind Up the Com
pany's Affairs

New YORK, April 4-Tbe Herald says
the boycott against the Chicago & Alton
railway, the greatest effort Of Chairman
Blanchard's life, threatens to develop
into a roaring farce within very short
time So far the net loss to the Alton
railway amounts to a handful OF imm-
grants, who have been inundated at the
barge office into travelling by some other
line. In other respects the Alton Is doing
a good business. Its officers expect very
soon to have Alton tickets on sale at the
barge Office.
Colonel Weber, the superintendent of
immigration, has asked Passenger Com
missioner Farmer to answer him detn-
itely whether arrangements can be made
to accommodate Alton passengers at the
/ joint ticket office. A meeting of general
] passenger agents was called for yesterday,
/ but they took care not to get together,
/ and so Farmer Is unable to answer the
question. The entire exclusion of Alton
tickets from the barge Office was referred
/ yesterday to the general officers of the
company in Chicago, and 1t is likely that
any attempt to temporiZe on the part Of
the railroads will result in an appeal tC
the courts.
A dispatch from Chicago says that The
Grand Trunk road has decided to join thu
boycott against the Alton, so far as bust
ness over its line between Chicago anC
Buffalo is concerned. This, however, doe
not refer to the main line via Montreal
which will continue to interchange traffic
with the Alton as usual. The Alton peo
pie say the action of the Grand Trunk doe
not affect them in the least, as they hav,
been sending through no traffic latel!
over that line to Buffalo, but have beer
using the line only for New England
traffic via Montreal

ElpVpnth


She was a pretty girl, and pleasant
thing to see on rainy day. She got into
a Broadway car at Twenty-sixth street
going down town. Her tailor made cos
tune was natty. A soft hat just showed a
curly bang, and Tuxedo veil skirted the
tip of her delicate nose. Slung from her
arm she carried a leather bound Boston
bag, and in one hand silver mounted En-
glish umbrella. The car was crowded, and
the passengers moved up when a dapper
gentleman yielded his place; so the girl
squeezed into a narrow space, and sat on
the edge of the seat at that.
Her get up was gentlemanly, but her
pocket was hard to find just the same. In
dragging out her purse she spilled her
handkerchief. She and the gentleman op
posite bent simultaneously to pick it up
Their heads came in contact and the girls
hat was punched in and pushed to one side
She thanked the gentleman for her hand
kerchief. The jab her hat had got had
loosed her veil Reaching up to rearrang e
both she burst the pin that held one cuff
This made her nervous, and the veil wasn't
fixed straight by any means, while the hat
was pinned at a distinctly rakish angle
and so far back that the bang was pulled
up Oub VI nlBhbs
When she took her arms down the cuff
fell over her knuckles. She couldn't man
age the pin, which, being bent, was hurt
ing her dainty wrist, so she barred one hand
of its glove She tried to straighten the
pin and lost it. Then she pushed the cuff
up and began to look severe. At this point
her umbrella fell with bang of the silver
handle STOPPING for it, she let her bag
drag along the dirty floor and that wa.
muddied as well as the umbrella. She for
got that her handkerchief had been in thu
same place, and she wiped her mouth as I
girl will when she is nervous. This CAV,
her smudge on her chin. Then she sud
denly discovered that her street was a
hand.
And, obi what sadly different girl i
was who got out to do her shopping On
| hand ungloved, the other cuff hanging
loose, umbrella, bag and face muddy,
soft hat tipped on the back of her head an
punched out of shape, a veil aslant acros
one cheek, and alasl and alas! no bang-n
bang at alll-New York Sun.
