SOME TIME AGO the Plttsburg Post called atten-
ton to the lengthy title of short railroad in
that section-the Cresson, Clearfleld County and
New York Short Route railroad. This is a very
lengthy name. and presumably in size ca Nv
led all competitors. A western short line has
been incorporated, however, that laws IL ont
IL boasts title nearly as long as its respective
line. viz, the Hudson St Vraip Erie Mitchell
Lafayette. Louisville, Marshall Denver and
Pacific railway. This is undoubtedly the most
lengthy specimen of railroad nomenclature in
America. -
WITH regard to the stateme nts that have ap-
peared in the American press to the effect that
M, de Biowitz had been replaced as the Tine
Paris correspondent by Mr.. Fullerton. an Amer
lean, the American press is requested and au-
thonzed by the Times to state that there has
not and never has been the remotest question
Of inter ering with NJ de Blowitz as the r. ,1es
correspondent in Paris. Such an idea has
never entered into the minds of any one in the
Times office, and there has never been either
word or lett r exchanged between the author

the possibility OF such an event"

Junius Brutus Booth, of which illu strious
tragedisn the squire was an intimate friend: 81

the Masonic lodge room in New York and the
effect have not FORGOTTEN yet There were
about 300 members in the hall, and, as the pa
thetic yet simple words rolled out, the effect of
the melodious voice of the great tragediau to-
get er WITH the marvellous information and noble
pathos given to the sublime prayer made itself
felt upon all. and when the Amen was spoken
strong men wept have never heard the Lords
prayer since then. have heard perhaps fifty

WHEN Mr.. Stanley retired from his position
as governor ofthe Free State" writes the Lon
don correspondent OF the Manchester Guardian.
king Leopold was anxious to retain some hold
on him. He therefore proposed to Mr. Stanley
al arrangement by which he should retain the
first cali on his services in Africa, the consid-
Grafton being retaining fee of e 900 per
annum. The existence OF such an arrangement
is expressly stated by Mr.. Stanley himself in
his account of the rescue OF Emin Pasha. This
arrangement between the king and Mr. Stanley
was, however, for limited period, and the limit
is on the point of expiring. 1t is this circum-
stance which has given rise to the rumors as
sociating Mr.. Stanleys name with the governor
ship Of the Free State. As a matter of fact,
King Leopold would. am assured, gladly see
Mr.. Stanley back on the Congo. But Mr. Stan
ley has other designs. He starts in about three
weeks for Australia on lecturing tour"
A WOMAN SO tall that a six-footer could pass
under her arm when held out straight from the
shoulder, says the Kansas City Times, attracted
much attention at the Union depot yesterday.
She was Ne lie Wilson, the daughter of
ranchman and farmer living near Texarkana,
Ark. Her exact hight is s feet 234 inches
When she ali ;hted from a Missouri Pacific
train the other morning at the depot she was
instantly the center of attraction She was
on her way to Abba. Ia. and when
she found she would have to wait until
4:30 O'Clock in the afternoon for a train she
beat hasty retreat across Union avenue and
secured a room. She asked the depot master
an the landlord to keep reporters away at all
hazards. as she did not like newspaper notoriety.
She remained in tn room until it was almost
time for her train to leave, and when she g.
appeared on the street a crowd of several hun
dred gathered and followed her across to the
depot. The woman comes from tall family
and has two cousins now travelling with circus
who are taller than she.

ter saws: Young girls are called pollitas or
little chickens, and old girls are Familiarity
called polas or grown chickens 1t is needless
TO say hat the Mexican dude as rule prefers
the polltas. The men have their nicknames as
wells as the girls, and they are known as gallos
or gallinos, and this, strange to say, is a Mexi-
can expression meaning young or old ROSTERS
