MIR. TUmPKIN,s CLERKS.
How They CareIessIY Fell Into Err
rOr with DirefuI Results.

How They CareIessIY Fell Into Err
rOr with DirefuI Results.
There are number of good jobs open in
certain big dry goods house.in Chicago just
at present.
1t happened this way: Old Tumpkins
is an exact employer who insists on accu-
racy in everything. But he is kind withal,
and several years ago he granted his sew
eral clerks a certain amount of grace for
arriving IN the morning. This liberality,
however, was only given upon the distinct
understanding that each person should
write down the exact cause Of his tardiness
on list provided. For a while this idea
was carried out, but after some months old
Tumpkins ceased to examine the list
and the employees became cOrrespondingly
careless.
Most of the clerks lived in the suburbs
and the first one to arrive usually wrote
"cable broke, " as the cause of the delay, or
"fire engines blocked the track" or ''got
bridged," and the rest of the clerks would
invariably hurry in and write ditto" un-
der it. This formal procedure had become
so much habit that they never took the
pains to look at the cause subscribed BY the
first. Hence the disaster.
The other morning the first arrival con-
scientiously penned the words, "wife ILL
twins"
AS it happened this morning old lump
kins picked up the list for the first time in
months. He read "wife ill-twins," with
some astonishment, but when he. saw it
dittoed down the entire list his eyes stood
out like bolt-heads on boiler, and as he
saw the small cramped ditto opposite the
Office boys name he uttered a piercing
shrek and fed from the place.
The old-time list is now abolished and
Old Tumpkins is having an expert examine
his ledgers for three years back.-Chicago

THEY WANT INFORMATION.
Letters of Inquiry Received by the
state Officers.

okahO OAhACoNhs
Land Commissioner Forrest says that
he is in constant receipt of letters from all
parts of the United States asking for spe-
ciaI information about the resources of
Washington.
Frequent requests have been made upon
hIm for maps and data that would lead to
the most beneficial results to the state if
he was provided with the information de-
sired in a convenient form, so it could be
sent with the least possible trouble. AS it
is now he refers these matters to the state
board of trade, with the exception of such
inquiries as relate directly to his depart
ment. Inquiries are also received by other
officers of the state, but only in rare in
stances are they able to make a compre-
hensive reply, simply beca use they have
not the time.
In many other states a bureau of infor-
nation is a feature of the state govern
ment. Sometimes it is an adjunct of a
regular department and sometimes it is in
dependent. In either case man is placed
in charge, whose duty it is to furnish infor-
nation, open up correspondence for the
purpose Of inducing immigration, keep
track of all developments in the state,
work up excursions from the more thickly
populated states, and do all within his
power to bring the advantages of his COM
mOnwealth to the attention of as many
people as possible.
1t has been suggested that state bureau
of information would be a fine thing for
Washington. 1t would save many times
the necessary expense in the capital that
could be brought into this state through
its instrumentality. An appropriation of
few thousand dollars year would keep
a bureau of information in full operation
and the good resulting therefrom could not
be calculated in dollars and cents.

How a Railroad Company Was
Brought to Time.

A peculiar question was presented TO the
judges of the supreme court yesterday
afternoon, during the hearing of the case
entitled, H. P. Downs ct ux, respondents,
VS.. the Seattle and Montana railroad com
pany, appellant; appealed from skagit
county.
III. p. Downs is the owner of certain
piece of land, across which the railroad
company constructed its track without the
usual condemnation proceedings or at
tempting to settle with the owner. He be-
gan action against the company for tres
pass and obtained judgement for $780,
Later the company commenced condemna-
ton proceedings and the jury decided that
Downs was entitled to $500 with interest
from the date of occupancy by the com
pany, for a right-of-way 100 feet wide,
through his land. The money was paid
over in the condemnation proceedings, and
Immediately afterward the company ap-
pealed from the finding of the court in the
tresspass case, setting forth that the $500
paid in the condemnation action was ample
Compensation for the land taken.
Yesterday the attorneys for the railroad
moved that the testimony in the condem-
nation proceedings in the lower court be
made a matter Of record in the trespass
case.
The two cases are as distinct as if brought
by different parties.
1t is rather an usual proceeding to drag
the evidence of an outside case into a case
at bar for the purpose of strengthening an
appellants claim for judicial clemency
The motion was not allowed and the case
was submitted.

WiIILet Them Alone.

TACOMA, October pa body of Tacoma
and Pierce county republicans and business
men, met and organized yesterday and
marched to the headquarters of the repub-
lican state central committee and demanded
Of P. @. Sullivan, its chairman, that the
committee desist in the attempt to secure
the defeat of several of the republican
county candidates.
Before the meeting ended the chairman
OF the state committee promised that the
committee should take its hands off of local
politics in Pierce county.
The meeting was entirely informal, yet
in Importance its action was second only
to the county convention which named the
candidates, whose interests yesterday after
noon's gathering sought to protect.

Another MOhican officer.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 29.-special
Agent Tingle, of the treasury department,
who leaves for Washington today, will
carry with him papers drawn up by resi-
dents of Sitka, Alaska, asking the authori-
ties to investigate the conduct of Captain
S. H. Johnson, of the United States steam
er Mohican in refusing to assist in the
search for the little mail steamer Elsie,
which was caught in gale between Ouna-
laska and Sitka on September 26th and ar
rived at Sitka fifteen days overdue, having
her crank broken and the crew was en-
dangered. Captain Johnson, of the Mohi-
can, it is stated, replied to the petition of
the people of Sitka that his vessel was un-
suitable for mission purpose, that is, to go

TOO MUCH LEEWAY.
The Steamship Roumania Struck
Ground in a Fog.
One Hundred and Fifteen LiYes
LOst-NO Life saving Appliances.

Bodies and Cargo Washing
Ashore.
LISBON, October 29.-The place where
the Anchor line steamer Roumania was
wrecked is a little to the northeast of Cape
Carvonaire. tits supposed that on account
of the severe westerly gales the steamer
made more leeway than the captain
counted on, bringing the vessel nearer the
shore than was supposed. OF the 122 souls
on board, passengers and crew, only seven
were saved. There were no life-saving ap-
pliances in the neighborhood of the wreck.
The steamer is breaking up, and the cargo
is coming ashore all along the coast. A
heavy fog prevailed when the vessel struck.
Seven nearly nude bodies have been
washed ashore, indicating that the people
were in their berths when the steamer
came aground. Cavalrymen are patroling
the shore to prevent the wholesale robbery
of bodies and theft of cargo.
Further details from Penische show that
Coptain Homilton, Lieutenant Roche and
seven LassaTs we're saved. A newspaper
correspondent who reached Penische tele-
graphed that the wreck occurred at IL
o'clock Thursday night. The steamer
struck in front of the little coast village of
Gronhe, between Penische and For Darrelo
The scene of the wreck is desolatiun itself.
Beyond few huts, occupied by miserably
poor fishermen, there is not sign of hui
man life in the vicinity. The coast line is
barren stretch of sand, backed by high
cliffs, and no worse place for human as
slstance to reach the wreck could be found.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-The treasury
department on August %, designated a
committee to establish dividing line be-
tween shearling sheepskins wool, which
has no commercial value and may be ad-
mitted free, and those on which wool
sufficiently long to be subject to classifica-
tion and consequently to duty. The COM
mittee has reported that wool on all shearl-
ings has commercial value, but from in
vestigations made by this committee, 'we
are of the opinion that wool on shearling
sheepskins, which does not exceed quar-
ter of an inch in length on the body of the
pelt, is of such little value, that it should
be passed free ofduty; that all shearling
skins where wool exceeds quarter of an
inch in length, should be subject to duty"
This conclusion has been adopted as a rule
of the department. All collectors have
been so notified

The Eden Fontana Company.

The Atlantic Messenger says Of the
Eden FOntana combination, which will
appear at the Olympia theater on Novem-
Der 3D.:
"One of the prettiest sights ever wit
messed was presented last Tuesday evening
at the opera house by Professor Fontana.
After giving numerous illustrations of the
lessor, in obedience to his will, caused one
of our most prominent young ladies to see
through the parting clouds bands of beau
tiful angels and spirits of departed friends.
Her countenance glowed with delight as
she knelt with alteration and with raised
hands, as il she fain would clasp them,
until touch of the professors hand re-
called her to consciousness. >"
