WHY CAPT. TROUP RESIGNED.
Couldn't Agree With Omaha Omcials-
Their Gross sMIsmanagement

TACOMA, Nov F.-(Special. 1.-The recently re-
signed superintendent of the Union Pacific
water lines, Captain Troup, was in Tacoma and
Seattle today, returning south tonight route
to San Francisco to spend portion of the win
ter. He said the reason for the resignation was
the great dissatisfaction of the company at
Sound business, which condition he claims
high officials at Omaha are responsible for, as
they do not allow the Sound boats to be adver-
tised, while all other boats are. He says much
blame for mismanagenent was wrongfully put
on him, while in fact he had very small voice in
regulating the company's affairs
In regard to the Victorian, he said, though he
recommended her building, the Omaha officials
made the decision to build and made the con-
tracts. He said there were three times as many
boats on the Sound as when business was good
and not one-third the business. The captain
has several good offers, but his plans are not
matured

Can't Get Convention Rates.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l7.-When a dispatch
was received from St. Louis yesterday announc-
ing that the Transcontinental Association re-
fused to indorse the $50 rate guaranteed by the
Southern Pacific TO the delegates to the national
conventions, IL held in San Francisco, Vice.
President Stubbs said:
Our guarantee of a $50 rate holds good. The
ST. Louis disnaieh means that the members of
the association voted against the rate as tele-
graphed from here without considering the full
PROPOSITION. Much can be done between the
time of this announcement and the time OF
holding the convention and the guarantees of
the Southern and Union Pacific roads are suffi-
cient for present purposes.

They Mako Jew's-Harps.

The village of Bath-on-the hudson,
though its manufacturing interests are
few, can boast Of possessing the only
Jews harp factory in the United States
outside Of New York City, says the
Albany Journal. Simple as the jews
harp is it requires, nevertheless, mo-
little skill in construction.
The proprietor of the factory at Bath
is John Smith. The factory is small
building situated short distance off
Third street, and although unpreten-
tious contains every facility for the
manufacture of jew's-harps.
Twenty years ago in England, Mr.
Smith began his apprenticeship at the
trade Hearing from friends in this
better market for the sale of his spe-
cialty he determined to emigrate. Ar
irving in New York he failed to secure
employment and, deciding to start into
business for himself, he went to Troy
and opened factory there. He va4
but moderately successful in Troy a d
after a short time moved to Bath built
factory, and is perfectly sati tied
with the location. The Smith Jew s.
harp is sold principally to firms in New
York, Boston, and Chicago. These
firms sell the goods to retailers
throughout the country.
When the factory is running at its
fullest capacity over two gross day
are turned out. The busiest time Of
the year is just preceding the holidays
During this season the factory employs
five people-the proprietor, his tive
sons, aud two other Englishmen who
live near the factory.
The first work done on a jew's-harp
is to place the frame on wise, file off
points, so that each side prese it,
sharp edge, between which the tongue
is to vibrate The most delicate work
then begins. A piece of steel wire is
cut from coil, hammered fiat at one
end and left round at the other, and
tempered with the greatest care. The
fiat end is then set in the arc of the
frame, and then the two ends are care
fully pressed and hammered until they
come as close as possible to the tongue
without touching
The round end Of the tongue is then
bent in the form of right.angle, tho
point is turned over, and the harp il
ready to be placed in the hands of q
tinisher. There are seven sizes and
four kinds of finishing-the common,
gold bronze, lacquered, and n-plated.
The harp can be toned to any pitch
To make the tone high the tongue is
made small and pressed back toward
the frame; to make the tone lower it
is bent forward. Mr.. Smith is not
only good maker Of the harp, but can
extract quite little music from tina
little instrument. He can also play
two at once, which he tunes SO that
they are in harmony by filing thu
| frames
