The Pennsylvania railroad has a
larger revenue than the United States
received in 1910, and more employees
than are now in the service of the
government. The income of the
company last year was about 1885,
900, 900, and the net earnings were
over $42,OOO,OOO, which allowed 9
per cent dividend and a neat balance
to carry over. The line between
New York and Philadelphia now
carries more passengers and freight
than any other railroad of equal
length in the world.

"The Rancho of Heavenly Rest"
is the title of a 3o-page story of love
and murder in the April Cosmopoli-
tan magazine. We have not had
time to read it, but the scene of the
story is laid on the Pecos river, in
San Miguel county, and the names of
Perea, Manzanares, Chico and others,
and the "Cross and Crown" al. j.
Bar" 'Half-circle-diamond, ""Bar u"
and other brands, sound very famil-
lar. The author is Forbes Heermans,
and we suspect that he likely located
his story where he did because he
supposed it was in a wild country
which could stand any kind of a
story, and people away from there
would not know the difference.

BOWEN FORGOT A FORTUNE.

A Chicago paper says that Sena-
tor Thomas M. Bowen, of Colorado,
forgot a fortune of S9S,0OO when he
oozed out of Turkish bath at
the Palmer house yesterday after
noon. A black porter found It and
returned it TO its owner. The name
of this alb ..4aily honest porter is
e. A. Watson. Senator Bowen owns
gold mines and things in Colorado
and has been at thS:PaImer house
for several lays. He is a man whose
hair is gray, but he has not suffered
from ennui since he came to
Chicago.
Senator Bowen, next his shirt,
wore canvas waistcoat which fitted
him tightly and in which he had
slowed away $4,000 in fresh green
backs, $4,000 worth of coupon bonds
and some western mining stock
amounting in all to $4,000. The
senator had his bath yesterday and
then dressed and went up stairs. He
forgot all about the canvas vest with
the fortune. 1t was o'clock when
Watson went to the dressing rooms,
and he found the vest and examined
its contents. His eyes then stuck
out from his face until he might
have hung towels on them. Then
he bolted up stairs and gave the
waistcoat and the fortune to Chief
Clerk Cunningham.

Senator Stewards Discovery.

Senator William NJ. Stewart of Ne
vsda, whose convictions on the silver
question are so well known, has intr)-
duccd IN the Senate resolution direct
ing the Judiciary Committee to in
quire whether any further legislation
Is necessary to make it the duty OF the
proper officers of the Mint 10 receive
and coin silver bullion for the benefit
of the depesiors.
This resolution is based upon the
assertion by Senator Stewart that the
act Of 1878, the Bland act, revived the
act of 1887, which provides that gold
and silver bullion brought to the Mint
tor coinage shall be received and
coined by the proper officers for the
benefit Of the depositors.' Stewart
says that the omission TO enforce this
provision is uuaccounable. 1t seems
to have been overlooked by all the
parties who have examined the ques-
tion, and Mr.. Stewart is confident that
the Judiciary Committee must decide
that the act Of 1887 is in force.
If this be so there Is no need of a
free coinage bill, for free coinage is
new the law Of the land The section
Of the act of 1887 quoted above is free
coinage pure and SIMPLE. 1t is the
law under which the minis were opsr-
ated from the adoption of the consti.
tuition up TO the year 1878, and is all
that the most extreme free eoiuege
men of the present day could ask.
1t will be great surprise to the
monometalists If this law be found to
be- in force They will predict all sorts
81 disasters unless it be repealed at
once, but they cannot muster strength
enough la the present Congress to re-
peal 1t, and If it be acted upon for a
year nobody will want to repeal it,.
Free coinage is not nearly so horrible
thing as the goldbugs would have us
believe. 1t might reduce the earnings
OF the bendhelders and noteshavers,
but 1t would certainly benefit the great
mass of the American people.

The Clerk Lacked Courage

An amusing incident occurred in a
Newark music store the other day. A
new and pretty ballad is entitled " kiss
Me-" A very pretty girl having heard
of the song, and thinking she would
get it with some others stepped into
music store to make purchase. One
of the clerks, modest young man,
stepped up to wait ON her. The young
lady threw her veil back, saying:
81 want Rock Me to Sleep
The clerk got the song and put it
before her.
"Now,' said the young lady, al
want Wandering Refugee"
"Yes ma'am,' said the clerk bow
ing, and in a few minutes hs produced
the Refugee"
Now, Kiss Me- said the young
lady, meaning, of course, the song
above mentioned.
The poor clerks eyes almost popped
fire as he looked at the young lady in
establishment, for he was not aware
that u song by that name had been
written.
"Wh-what did you say, MISS"
kiss Me-" sand she.
Il can't do 1t, miss; | never kissed a
young lady in my life" said the clerk.
About that time veil dropped, a
young lady left in hurry, the clerk
felt sick and the proprietor lost the

SALT LAKE TTIBUNE: The dispatches
inform us that Chile is willing that

American Congress every Republic Of
Spanish America except Chile was
willing to incorporate that plan of
tettling differences in treaty. But
Chile opposed it with all vehemence.
The truth was that she had BUNDLED
Peru, and that Peru, Bolivia and
Ecuador were all in measure servitors
OF Chile, and her delegates were de-
tsrmined not to compromise in any
way which would prevent their coun-
try from forcing any little policy that
II might please upon those States. The
result was that this proposition of

there would be no advantage to us in

so we hspe that our Secretary of State

Is the World Made OF Salt7

Near the village of Spenrenberg, about
twenty miles from Berlin, Germany, is
situated the deepes. salt mine in the
world. At last accounts it was 4l9l feet
deep, the first 1900 feet being sixteen
feet in diameter.
1t was begun in the year 1869, Gov
ernment authorities having charge Of the
work, the avowed purpose OF the work
being to ascertain the exact thickness OF
the rock salt vein known to exist beneath
the gypsum substrata abounding in that
vicinity. The salt rock was reached be-

was not lessened until it hal reached .

II Ticked Throuuh the Revolution


In an old fashioned, low, Dutch style
stone house on the banks OF the
Hudson, at Nysck, N. Y, is the home
of the Sarvents, a family whose de-
scendents have occupied it for over
two centuries. The house is filled with
relics of We ancient tyne, especially in
rusty old swords, flint locks, muskets,
cannon balls, grape aud canister shot
and links of the iron chain which was
submerged across the Tappanzee during
the Revolution to prevent the passage OF
the British fleet to West Point. There
are many other relics, but the most high
" prlzed of all is an eight.day clock
which rings out the hours as regularly
and keeps as splendid time as it did
when it was first placed in the old house
by Philip Sarvent in 1855, when he
bought it from Whitlock in New York
and conveyed it by sloop to his house.
The clock has history, as it eft inter
the Revolution" Twenty years after
ward, when the old house was shelled by
the British feet and the redcoats were
pillaging the homes OF the honest Dutch
settlers and patriots, the clock was con-
veyed back in the country to Clarkstown,
and there buried under a barn, where 1t
remained for over seven years.
Garrett Sarvent, grand old patriarch
Of eighty years, grandson of Philip,
now resides in the old house. He was
for many years Assessor and Mayor, and
widely known and highly respected
throughout Rocxland County. In au
interview recently he declared that his
love and veneration for his grandlathers
clock and the historical associations con-
nected with it was 50 strong that no
amount of money, even it it was thou
sands. would tempt him or his children
TO part with the relic. 1t has kept such
fine time for 1877 years, and is possibly
equal to the task for another century.
