SURPRISES m PASSENGER MANAGE
NENT.

This has been a year of surprises
in the passenger business on different
railroads, particularly on local lines,
and there is no telling what will yet
occur. The idea of the Pennsylva-
mia paying commissions seems like a
dream. Then the New York Central
offering stop over checks to passen-
gers riding on cheap tickets is anoth-
err surprise The New Monon fight
ing ticket scalpers is another. The
Pennsylvania making $l5 round
trip rate to New York has astonished
its competitors. It will not create
much surprise if the Chicago &c Ohio
River pool is dissolved. The lines
comprising it do not like to have it
called a pool, but that is practically
what it is. The Pennsylvania, Big
Four, New Monon, Cinncinati, Ham
ilton & Dayton and the Chicago q
Eastern Illinois are in this associa-
ton. The rock on which it is liable
to split is is the question of paying
commissions. The Cincinnati, Ham
ilton & Dayton and the New Monon
propose to pay commissions, let come
what may. General Passenger and
Ticket Agent Ford, of the Pennsyl-
vania, says he is tired of sitting on
the fence and watching the procession
go by, and his line proposes to have
the business, even if cheap fares and
commissions are necessary. The
Chicago 81 Eastern Illinois pays
commissions because the others do,
and the Big Four pays them under
protest. The latter line is attempt
ing to have them abolished, and if
there is a chance of succeeding both
the Pennsylvania and the Chicago 81
Eastern Illinois will join in. But
the other two roads will not listen.
Should the Chicago & Ohio River
pool be dissolved, what a slashing of
rates and cheap excursions there will
be. The Lake Erie & Western too
has been thorn in the side of the
association.

GEO. N. Pu11MAN's PRIDE.

Says a western man: 81 have
known George NJ. Pullman a good
many years, and l am qualified to
speak intelligently of him. He is a
proud man; that is to say, he is
proud of one thing, and that is not
his riches or his success. The one
thing he is proud of and which he
loves to talk about is that he was a
'59er; that he was one of the num-
Der who made their way across the
plains S3 years ago in search of for
tunes in the far wild west. Pullman
likes nothing better than to talk of
those times, and he has gathered to-
gether all the literature bearing upon
the scenes in which he participated.
The other day l gave him an old
Denver paper in which there was a
local item about Geo. M. Pullman

to pay due respect at the shrine, and
promptly removed his hat,when there
arose a howl, and he was chased

a boat. The unfortunate man had
saluted Pontius Plate, whom they
were going to burn in effigy.

Now that the Fourth of July is
over the Albuquerque people will
start out on the subject of their fair.
The Las Vegas fair that was to have
been such a great success this fall
has failed to materialize, and at the

along for many years. When Albu-
querque starts out on a subject she
pushes it for all it is worth, and
makes a success of it. Can we say
the same here?

Flowers for Bridesmaids.

There are number of pretty and ef-
fective ways that flowers can be ar
ranged for bridesmaids. The couven-
tional way is to make round bouquet,
arranged carelessly. using the foliage
of the flowers of which the bouquet is
composed. AS the brides bouquet is
also white, those carried by the brides
maids should, as a contrast, have some
color. If the bride, in choosing her
attendants, has been fortunate in Sc
curing decided blondes and brunettes.
strong and beautiful color contrasts
can be obtained in both gowns and
. flowers The fiat cluster, or rustic
bunch" is often used. In arranging
such cluster it is wise to have it ar
ranged carelessly. or rather not to in
terfere too much with nature. The
effect should be as if the hand that
carried the flowers was the hand that
gathered them, with no thought of ar
rangement The flowers should have
long stems, and be allowed to fall as
they will.
Baskets of various shapes filled with
uOWcrS arc Oitcu uScu- LcRuOIu u6t0
drawn together in the shape of bas-
ket are among the prettiest arrange
ments. Draw the ribbon around the
center, and tie a loop and bow on thu
top. This can be carried either with
the arm through the loop or as bas-
ket in front The flowers in this case
should be arranged very loosely. not
only giving the impression that the hat
is full, but flowers tumbling out

for bridesmaids TO carry is the "Direc-
