HIS START IN LIFE.
Row Pretty Typewriter Girl Made Her
Lover Half a Million.
l.ogL tGyspJfesr

NeD York AdCerttssr.
A little over ten years ago quiet
young man of eighteen or nineteen was
engaged by Wall street firm Of brokers
as a clerk. He was as poor as was
before ! was near milliOnaire-a fifty
millionaire, in fact. One day the Office
boy became i'll, and this clerk gener-
ously volunteered to take message to
another Office for him. In that other
office was a pretty typewriter, in petit
coats. They became interested In each
other Immediately. Her employers were
three Of the biggest spectators in the
street. They thought nothing Of deal
ing in fifty or one hundred thousand
shares a day. They had branch Offices
uptown and in Baltimore, Chicago, Bos-
ton, London and Paris. The typewriter
was also a telegraph operator, and all
telegraph orders she filled. She knew
Just what stocks to go long and short Of.
So did this quiet young clerk, after
awhile. Whenever that firm went long
OF Wabash, Lake Shore, New York Cen
trial, Topeka, st. Paul, or Manhattan,
the clerk would take flyer in that stock
in the bucket shops. In a little while
he had enough money to buy stock In
the Stock Exchange. Whenever his
girls firm sold stock he was carrying he
Immediately got from under, too.
When they bought five or ten
thousand shares Of any stock he
bought from one hundred to thou
sand shares. In no time he was worth
SO, 600. In less than that he was worth
$50, 600. Then he stopped making money
long enough to marry the girl,and then.
keeping the marriage a secret from that
firm, no piled up considerably over
$500, 600. al the time he worked as a
clerk for Sl2 a week. He mover lost his
head. He never paraded his wealth in
fine raiment and generous jewels, but
went right on until he had built one OF
the finest mansions in the suburbs Of
New Jersey, to which he escorted his
Little Blessing. Up to two years ago
he was teephoning his orders TO his
brokers from that mansion and taking
life as easy as it took him. ] haven't
been near Wall street In that time, so
don't know that he is doing it now.

TROUBLE BREWING
And Liable to Break Out at any Tlme-A
Car Refused and Cut Out.


SAN ANTONIO, Ten, January 49,
The proposed strike of the employees of
the lines connecting with the Arkansas
Pass Railroad, rather than handle that
roads transfers, still hangs fire. While
some freight of this character has been
handled it by no means indicates that
trouble will be ayerted.
The local switchmen Of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern and Southern
Pacific have both decided to switch Ar
ansaS Pass freight except upon concert
ed action by all employees to the con-
trary. Last night the Arkansas Pass ten
dered the Southern Pacific car which
was switched and made up with a west
bound train.
This morning the Southern Pacific
trainmen refused to take the train out
unless the Arkansas Pass car was cut
out. This was done and the train de-
parted. The superintendent Of the
road will arrive tomorrow and look
into the status of affairs. Further
trouble may be precipitated at any hour.

faculty in this way to my cost. AT that

pense in the matter OF dressing. For
Romeo l had some lovely dresses, all
silk, satin and laces, and of the most
delicate evening shades as the ladies
say. A delicate pale blue jacket
was my favorite in one Of the
scenes between Romeo and Juliet,
and l was aWfully sorry had

a few performances I noticed that the
beautiful pale blue silk on the front OF

There were long streaks in 1t which !

She looked up, turned her face to the
audience moment, which at once
burst into most tumultuous applause.
When she turned her face toward mine
again I saw the tears streaming down
her cheeks. l glanced at my costume
and saw the cause of the stains. Here
were several fresh wet streaks on the
handsome pale blue silk made by JUL
cts tears. | tried TO hold her head
away from me, but costumes had TO be
sacrificed TO art, and when the seas N
was over my costume was striped in
stead of a plain blue silk, the change
having been caused By Juliet's too real
istic Meens.n

the number Of Americans who
would engage in the bust
ness Of compelling respect for the
Stars and Stripes would be limited only
by the transportation facilities that the
Government could provide for them.
But Chile has made no such move. In
fact all the war talk comes from Wash
lngton. aud there is more political wind
than anything else in it.
A war with a one-horSe nation Ike
Chile would lower, not raise, the dignity
Of the United States, and would cost US
many times the indemnity demanded.
When the plain course OF a peaceaole
settlement by arbitration is open there
should be no talk of war.

az PRoPOsnp sUBWAY.

The special committee now work
ing upon the subway ordinance, appears
90 be exercising due care in protecting
the city's interests in the granting of
the franchise TO the Telephone Co. 1t
is a step forward in the right direction
TO hedge the grants to corporations
with such restrictions that they will
be mindful to do their part
well, and to respect the pub
Hes part also. Heretofore it has
been the custom 10 grant public fran
chises sort Of carte blanche. This not
only increased the value and power Of
tho corporation in the same ratio that
the city grew, but permitted it to do
about rs 10 pleased, which as a rule was
just the very thing that did not please
the public.
The day is past for valuable rights to
be frittered away in such a manner and
large cities in every section Of
the country are realizing it,
and are taking the necessary
precautions to not only protect the
public in the disposition of such priv
ueges, but when they are of considera-
BILE value, TO make the corporation pay
reasonable sum for the privilege, And
why shouldn't they? The revenue Of
the corporation is mainly, and often
entirely, from the people who grant the
franchise, and should notsomo Of the big
profits revert back TO the city in the
way of rents or commissions?

III cnmEAN AFFAIH.

A great deal OF nonsense is being
published iu connection with our trouble
with Chile aud 10 is 20 be hoped that,
President HARRISON, who is expected
shortly % send a special message 20
Congress ou the subject, takes the intel
llgent view Of the situation.
The United States must, Of course,
maintain her fymuess and dignity, but
this can be done without going to war.
Il would be absurd, in fact, for the
United States, she greatest nation on
earth, to 90 TO war with little bit Of
q south American Republic-abouto one
twentieth our size-which has not yet
recovered from q civil war OF its own.
1t would be as unequal a combat as one
between a full grown Newfoundland
and q poodle-pup, and the United States
would become laughing stock
for the world were she TO
engage ia it, The proper and sensible
and also the most dignifed course to
pursue would be 70 submit the matter
to arbitration il the administration has
not sufficient diplomatic brains to settle
il in any other way.
Chile is 900 or 5000 miles away, and
about the only official communication
President HARRISON has received from
there on our side Of the question has
come from Minister EGAN, VIGOROUSLY
unfit official, whose incOmpetency, to
put It mildly, is undoubtedly responsible
for the whole trouble.
Our national honor will not be jeopar-
died by a pursuance Of this conserva-
tive and sensible course. The Ameri-
can reputation for bravery is sufficient
well established, aud we need not
egbt .,st the drop Of a hat 70 sustain
- Everybody knows, or would very
~ End out, that ST the very hrst ae-
Wv warlike move Chile would make
every iron-clad the United states
summon would speedily be steam

CANNsp GOODS AND TIE TARIFF.


The Iltslligenccr says canned goods
''are to-day cheaper than they ever were
before in history" and on this broad
assertionit bases the claim that this is a
vindication of the Mckinney tin tariff.
In view Of the extraordinarily good
crops and the abundance Of fruit last
year the basis Of this claim is not ap-
parent. The Tntclligcucsr, itself, seems
somewhat mixed in it's ideas on the sub
iect, for 70 says, further on, that "just
what circumstances are 60 be credited
with this state Of affairs it is hard to
conjecture. OF course the tariff has
nothing TO do with it," etc.
just what our esteemed neiChbor
means TO say is not clear, since right on
top Of its claims that the present low
price OF canned goods is viudicatiou
OF the increased tax on tin, il acknowl-
edges that it does not know what cir
cumstauce or combination Of circum-
stances TO credit it to aud that ''of
course the tariff has nothing to do with
it,"
Students of the situation will hold,
however, that the tariff has something
to 90 with 10, and that had the McKin-
ley tax on tin cans and tin boxes been
left off, canned goods would to-day be
even cheaper than they are.
