blem of the patriarchal degree, represent
ing hospitality. These will be set in bed

A ROAD THROUGH ABERDEEN.
Northern Pacific Asks Free Right-of-
Way-A Rival Offer.

NoEtncTu acme ASKS Fre0
Way-A Rival Offer.
ABERDEEN, April Especial. 1.-The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company has
made proposition to Aberdeen that the
track will be laid TO the Wishkah river, on
the north side of the harbor, if free
right-oi-way is given to that point and
bond given that within two years the
right-of-way to the west line of town will
be furnished, with grounds for depot pur-
poses. If the proposition is accepted the
track will be laid Immediately. The grade
to within four blocks of the river was
built last fall but will require some repairs.
A meeting of the citizens was called to
take some action on the proposition.
1t is less than two miles from the Wish
kah river, which cuts Aberdeen in the
center from north to south, to the juno
ton of the grade with the track now IN
use. into Aberdeen on the south side.
Though the grade is ready, it lies in a
street over which no right-of-way has
been granted the Northern Pacific, but
has been granted to the Aberdeen q Vic
toria Railroad Company. This latter
company now has q corps of surveyors at
work and the officers declare they mean to
prosecute construction just as soon as the
surveys are ready. They say at least ten
and probably fifteen miles will be built
this summer, end when that is done the
money will be ready for another section.
This may deter some property-owners
from taking the active interest necessary
for securing theright-of-way for the North
ern Pacific.

HAYES A COMPROMISE MAN.

Gould Suggested Him to Concilfate Van
derbilt and Foreign Interests.
New YORK, April 23.-Speaking of the
rumored change in the presidency of the
Union Pacific railroad and the ousting of
Russell Sage and Jay Gould from the
directory, a gentleman well informed on
affairs said:
one thing is certain: Gould originated the
change OF management himself He saw he
would likely DO forced ont by a combination OF
OF foreign interests with those OF the Wander
bllts, and the vanderbilts might operate the
road with advantage in connection with
the Chicago d Northwestern system. Probably
the situation was brought about by the proposed
change OF management which will be announced
at the annual meeting on the 9th inst. Gould,
foresceing the probable outcome, suggested
Captain Hayes as compromise candidate for
the presidency Of the company. The rejection
Of Captain Hayes or a similarly well-known
man by Goulds opponents would likely lead
to open antagonism not desired by those
acting In the Vanderbilt interest At the same
time the selection OF a candidate for the presi-
dency by Gould does not put him in control of
the property, but gives him enough voice in the
new management to prevent the Union Pacific
from being operated in opposition to Missouri
Pacific interests.

NEW WESTMINSTER, b. c., April o.
Especial. l--Application was made before
Judge Walkem today in the supreme court
for a writ of injunction to restrain the
Great Northern railway from crossing the
lands of J. r. Foord at South Westmin-
ster. The land in question lies about half
mile from the railway station, and was
built across by the railway with
out permission of the owner. who
asked an exorbitant price for the
right-of-way. The granting of an injunc-
ton would have practically closed the line
80 far as South Westminster is concerned,
and Judge Walkem. taking this into con-
sideration, together with stoppage of
mails and regular passenger service, de-
clined to grant the injunction at this
hearing. giving the company time TO come
to arrangements with Foord. The Judge
held that, if the company offered sufficient
compensation, Foord should accept. and
he would not be justified in issuing writ
until all hopes of amicable settlement were
abandoned. The company wishes to sub
NIT the matter to arbitration, and offers
Foord his choice as to procedure

cuts off the supply from that source.

HE DID NOT LIKE THAT TEST.

How an OptIclan UnwIttInely In
suited His Customer.
An old man dressed poorly but
clearly entered the store ofan optician
in Forty -second-street the other day
and stared about it in O vacant way
at the boxes OF spectaces, the opera
glasses and themagnifying lenses. He
was particularly well fitted for taking
in good deal at one glance, for one
eye had an outward cast to it that
swept the horizon due east, while the
other was looking due north,
"What can do for your" asked
the optician.
"My eyes are acting contrary" was
the reply, as the customer fixed the
shopkeeper with one optic, and with
the other followed a nurse-maid who
was wheelinga baby past the window.
~ should think they were" SAID the
optician. You want pair OF
glasses, / SUPPOSED"
eyes, l do, if you can give me q
pair that will make both my eyes see
the same thing at once"
~ could give you such q pair" was
the answer, "but l don't think they
would help any on the whole. The
lenses would have to be of such q
nature as to draw the focus of your
straight eye halt way around to that
of your crooked one, which in turn
would beforced over to meet the form-
er. This would so strain your eyes
that you would not see any better
than you do now with the straight
one alone"
"Well, if you can't fit me" said the
visitor, "Pll go to some one who knows
more"
This irritated the optician little,
and, seeing that he had q cranky
customer on hand, he quickly set up
his card with letters and figures OF
various sizes omit, and asked the man
if he could read the top line.
Eyes, | see it," said the customer.
"Read it out loud, please" said tho
optician.
81 tell you | see it all right"
perhaps you only think you do.
Read it aloud please"
'Do you think l don't know what /

81 want you to read it aloud"
al won't do it,"
"Then ! can't fit your eyes.
"Then III 20 somewhere else; (rising)
1 didn't come here to be insulted."
my dear sir, | didn't insult YOU"
"You did, sir"
"How?"
"You tried to make afool Of me?"
"How?"
"By askin' me again and again to
read that sign"
81 don't understand"
81 can't read you IDIOT" and the
victim flung himself out OF the shop
while the optician collapsed.
