REGARDING THE TRAINS.
Another Change In the Timetable
Expected shortly

The premonitory mutterings of a
change in the railroad table are
heard from the Fourth and Townsend
street office by the officials in this city,
and as near as can be learned at present
the change is to go into effect on May lst.
1t is understood that a second-class
local train is to be run between this city
and San Francisco, leaving here some
where near o'clock in the morning and
arriving about s o'clock at night.
AT present the Portland express carries
second-class passengers from this city to
San Francisco, taking on the second
class cars after it arrives in the depot
here. It arrives here at $50 A. NJ. 1t is
understood, however, that train will be
scheduled to reach Sacramento about two
hours earlier, and no second-class cars
will be attached.
Other changes will probably develop
later

BECAME A CHRISTIAN.
How George Holden Was Converted
a Week Before Death.
The Sacramento Women's Christian
Temperance Unions Influence
Where Is His Mothers

A young man who left with the circus
that was here last week was accidentally
killed few days ago in the elephant car
near Sheridan.
AT the time no one seemed to know
who he was. On his person was found a
Women's Christian Temperance Union
card, issued by the Sacramento society,
and Testament given him by the same
association. From these his name was
ascertained to be George Holden, and
that he came from Sacramento. The
Women's Christian Temperance Union
OF Sheridan thereupon took charge
of the body and buried him at Sheridan
on the 18th, and reported to Mrs. jerks,
President of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union in Sacramento, and
asked information as to the relatives of
the young man.
HE WAS CONVERTED.
Yesterday his name was found on the
books Of the association here, and Mrs
Barrett said to a reporter: 81 remember
him distinctly. I talked with him. He
told me his name was George Holden;
that he was not a Christian, and had not
neen INSIDE OF church in ten years, and
that was the only person in the country
who had ever inquired if he was a Chris
tan, and he was grateful for the interest
had shown; that he thought more
earnestly about religion than ever before,

He Met Consul Manat.

CAIRO, Egypt, March 24.-To the Editor of
The Bee thought would drop you few
lines concerning my trip while awaiting
breakfast this warm morning. We reached
here last evening, running along the Nile and
through the Delta, both of immortal fame,
and a grander sight in the way of vegetation,
people, donkeys, buffalo cows, oxen, sheep
dromedaries and in many other ways than
was here presented, have yet to see. 1t was
a panorama from Alexandria to Cairo. But
have not set out to write of these things.
AS the tourist would say, have "done''
Italy and Greece, Rome and Athens. And to
saw was charmed with the colossal ancient
ruins of Rome and. the ruins and scenery of
classic Athens, but tamely expresses 1t.
What added much TO my already pleasant
and interesting stay at Athens was the very
great kindness and attention shown me and
our party by our affable and highly accom-
plished consul there Mr. Manat. Surely he
is the right man in the right place. His ripe
scholarship, especially his thorough acquaint-
ance with Greek history and the Greek Ian
guage (Which, of course, Is there spoken, and
which Mr.. Manat says is not and never was a
dead language) eminently fits him for his i'm
portant position. Nebraska may justly feel
proud of her consul at Athens; as well may
the United States at large. Mr.. Manat's
family is just as genial, pleasant and accom-
modating as he.
He SAYS am the second NeDraskan he has
met at Athens. He tells me also, as it re-
CARDS the Greek klanguage, that it is the livest
dead thing he has seen. 1t is essentially the
same language of Xenophen and of the New
Testament Greek, and everyone should know
the language.
Well, to tell of what 1 saw at Athens and
how it impressed me would require much

THE COMMISSION BUSINESS.

The warehouse bill in which Omaha
and the whole state OF Nebraska are in
terested is not confined in its operations
to grain elevators. Under class G are
grouped are all sorts of storage estab-
lishments in which ilaxseed, flour, sack
grain, dressed meats, petroleum, salt,
provisions, poultry, etc. etc, are
handled There is no great provision
market west OF Chicago. There is no
center to which country merchants can
look for market or with which they
may exchange products.
The business has been carried on eX-
tensively, but it has not been systematl-
cally managed. Each commission firm
has been the serene reliance of its par
tlcular line of customers, both buyers
and sellers. Under the new law it will
be possible to establish commission ex-
changes in the larger cities OF Ne
braska, which shall be equally as i'm
portant to the producers and small and
large dealers as the grain exchanges.
The commission business of Omaha,
profitable as it has been generally to
those engaged in it, is conducted in an
Independent, haphazard sort of style,
hardly satisfactory to either commission
men or customers. Yet the annual
transactions of our commission dealers
aggregate in amount the neat little sum
of $3,000,000. With proper effort
and intelligent appreciation OF the
situation as it is now presented,
Omaha can develop business in this
line of 10 times as great volume. The
local exchange and the commission and
storage warehousemen through connec-
tions in Nebraska and Iowa will control
an immense territory ana create mar
velously profitable business.
The board of trade committee ap-
pointed to take the preliminary steps
toward establishing grain exchange
should not overlook class G warehouses.
Its members will find it interesting and
profitable to study the commission busi-
ness and include it in its conclusions and
recommendations to the board. We
need large commission houses, wide
awake commission men and strong
organization of persons engaged in this
branch of trade as well as elevators,
grain men and grain exchange.

Journalists as Authors.
Kate Fte,d'S Washington.

In Franco the eminent journalist is a man
so distinguished as to be sought on all occa-
sions, public and private Yet French Jour-
nalism wields far less influence than Ameri-
can. The best literary brains of the new
world are put into Journalism, first, because
book making does not pay; secondly, because
Americans demand their literature served
hot and fresh for breakfast daily. An author
is writer of anything original, be it book,
poem, essay, sketch, story, treatise, sermon,
editorial, letter, reporter even advertisement.
To shut out of any literary organization men
and women who are shaping the destiny of
this republic by devoting to journalism more
brains than are put into nine-tenths of mod

Raised a 8OO-Year-Old Roycott

In the year 400, or thereabouts, workmen
were employed to put choir stalls in Lincoln
cathedral, England, and were told in the
early English vernacllar of the day to hurry
the job up, as several big functions were soon
TO come off, But lots of things happened
money got to be exceedingly scarce, and the
men weren't paid very promptly. Although
there were no Knights of Labor then, human
nature was pretty much the same as it is
now, and the men knocked off, remarking:
mo pay, no work" The clergy we're so
busy running the county political machine
that they didn't have time to arrange the
matter, and the finishing of the stalls was
postponed frome time to time until the pres
ent day At last, however, Dean and Chap
ter think they see their way to complete this
fifteenth century Job, and are calling for es-
Inmates from woodcarvers. England is a lit
tie slow, but she does get there aftcr a few
