he Had Forgotten His Pass.

President Roberts, OF the Pennsylvania rail
road, is, as everybody knows. a great stickler
for discipline, and in this connection q story is
told OF him which is too good TO keep says the
St Louis Republic. Some time ago, while on
his way to Harrisburg, the conductor of the
train bowed as he passed without asking to see
his ticket. On coming through the train again,
MT Roberts touched his arm and said: why
did you not ask for my ticket?"
Rather abashed the conductor replied that
ne presumed he had his pass.
DO you know who am;" next asked Mr..
Roberts.
Yves SIR replied the conductor, you are the
president OF the road"
Granted that am. Il us your duty to allow
nooojy to ride over this road without showing
ticket. Always bear that in mind"
The conductor promised to do so IN the future,
and passed on. After the next station had been
passed he again came through the train for
tickets, and coming to Mr.. Roberts, stopped
and demanded to see his ticket.
THAT'S right my man" said the president,
putting bis hand in his breast pocket. Then he
grew red In the face and as he felt In pocket
after pocket his face became reader. He had
Iert his pass at home. The conductor never
moved muscle Of his face but stood with out
stretched hand waiting for the ticket. Mr..
Roberts was too proud to back out, and finally
asked in meek voice. ''how much is the fare to
Harrisburg" On being informed he paid over
the money. which the conductor took without q
smile, giving him rebate check good for 10
cents, President Roberts continued his ride in

Hemmed in by Water.

A very large part of the country below
New Orleans and for many miles above it
is under water. The levees all along the
river are breaking, and great cotton, rice
and sugar plantations are being submerged.
No previous overflow in the Lower Missis-
sippi valley for many years did 80 much
damage as the present one threatens to do.
1t is impossible to form an approximately
correct estimate OF the damage that has
been done already or of that Is likely to be
done before the river falls sufficiently to
permit the water to leave the plantations.
1t is pretty certain that Il will not be posi-
BILE this year to cultivate many of the most
productive plantations in Louisiana, Mis-
slssippi and Arkansas.
The railroads which have terminals In
New Orleans have been damaged to very
large amount. There are eight of them
and four are cut OFF from New Orleans.
The road between New Orleans and Baton
Rouge has been cut into four sections by
crevasses at as many different points.
1t is probable that 5000, 900 would not
cover the damage that the overflow has
| done already in Louisiana The cost Of
| repairing the broken levees will be very
great. On Monday break in the levee
twelve miles north of New Orleans
occurred, and within ten hours It had be-
come lis feet wide and 9 feet deep. A
| crevasse that occurred in that locality sew
eral years ago caused loss of $4,000 900
before it was closed. There Is also Gre
vase in the Belmont levee, which protects
three parishes. A break 10 this levee in
| 1890 caused a loss of over 5000, 600
Naturally the people of New Orleans and
the river parishes are not in a pleasant
frame of mind over the river situation.
And the river has not yet begun to fall.
On the contrary, on Monday 1t was steadily
rising. There is a prospect that the present
overflow in the Lower Mississippi valley will
be one of the most disastrous ever known in
that locality.

Mr.. Morton Has Some Friends.

Vice President Morton doesn't cut great
figure in Washington. He isn't much more
than bob to the administration kite, but be
has a good many friends and they are not at
all pleased with the way In which he was
treated by the Minneapolis convention. DE
is man of ability. and discharges the
duties of his Office very acceptably. In
a quiet way he has done great deal to help
the administration to make favorable i'm
preston. He is a very rich man and his
/ contribution to the expenses OF his party in
the last presidential campaign is believed to
have been about four times the amount he
I will receive from his office.
Why, then, was he so unceremoniously
| pushed aside when the question of nomi.
mating a candidate for Vice President came
up! He is as popular as Reid. Indeed, it
is doubtful IL Mr.. Reid will bring az much
strength to the ticket as he would. Mr..
Morton himself, judging from what has
appeared in print, seems TO think that he
was not treated with much consideration.
There YVES no expression Of appreciation OF
his party services and no reason given why
it was not considered advisable to renomi-
nate him.
Naturally Mr.. Morton feels that be has
been badly treated. He may not have
much political influence, but what he has
will hardly be exerted in behalf of the
Minneapolis ticket. He will be found, in
all probability, among the inactive politi-
clans of his party In the coming contest.
He can sympathize with the disgruntled
Platt and Miller.
Mr.. Reid. doubtless, was preferred to
him because Mr.. Reid is a better politician,
and, besides, the latter was at Minneapolis
looking after his own interests. Mr.. Reid
worked for the denomination of the Presi-
dent and In doing so made himself popular
with the other Harrison leaders. And an
impression prevailed that he could har-
monte the warning New York factions.
But Mr.. Morton may have q chence to
say TO his party that it made a mistake when
1t threw him overheard. The labor organi-
cations are preparing to make a lively fight
on Mr.. Reid. and when they begin to be
heard from Mr.. Morton may be conscious Of
feeling akin TO satisfaction.

Senator Fairs Joke.

An excellent story is current in some of the
New York clubs about famous old Burgundy
Of which Senator Fair left a few dozen in his
cellars IN San Francisco, says the New YorR
World. A wellknown man about town there
as the phrase goes, by the name of Tevis
bought in the Pommard before the newspapers
had announced it's existence. There was very
general disappointment when the gourmets Of
Mob Hill heard Of his cOIO, and when, after re-
fusng their offers to share his purchase with
him, he invited them to come and dine and sam
pie the Pommard, there was not refusal. Whe1
Burgundy time came in due course the host
himself left the table and presently returned
bearing in his own hands a precious, dust-lader
and much-cobw ebbed bottle, from which, after
a chorus of admiration, the butler was allowed
to serve one small glassful to each guest. The
guests snacked their lips, talked about bees
wing, "'fine oldcrusted'' flavor, the ''sub-taste
Of age" and the "mellowed splendor Of the
grape" to their hearts content, and renewed
even more extravagant offers OF money for a
share in Mr.. Tevis' bargain. Convulsed with
laughter, the host thereupon had the butler
wash the bottle before their eyes and show them
that it bore the brand OF and contained in
reality cheap California claretl

At the preliminary trial OF the Sanford
(Fla.) train robbers an interesting fact, not
in any way connected with the case. was
brought out-that it is the custom of cigar
makers In the larger cigar factories In Plant
City to employ man to read aloud to them
while they are at work. Cigarmaking is
silent occupation. The cigarmakers sit at
tables with their wrappers" and ''hllers" for
the days work piled In front OF them within
easy reach, aud, as there is no machinery
employed. the only noise that breaks the
stiffness of the room is that made when
some one speaks or moves chair, or other
article. The making of cigars requires q
wonderful dexterity of the fingers, and
quick and accurate eyesight, but there is no
absorbing mental work about 1t. When
cigarmakers become expert reading in their
presence does not In the least interfere with
their work and in large factories they hire
a man to read to them, thus combining
pleasure with work

ana stin the Burden Increases.

Fourteen years ago Mr.. Garfield. who
was then a member of the House. said he
thought high water mark in pension appro-
priations had been reached. The annual
amount appropriated for pensions at that
time was S25 600, 900.
Representative Enloe, of Tennessee, est =
mates that for the next fiscal year $3.50, 0O0,-
900 will be required for pensions. How llts
tie Garfield knew CT the readiness Of con-
! gressnen to purchase new lease of power
! for themselves and party with the money
wrung from the peoplel
! The whole amount of the revenues from
customs is only $l75, 5000 year. How
long will # be before the revenues from Gus
toms will not be sufficient to pay the PEN
sionsl The annual increase In the amount
required for pensions will furnish an au-
swer TO that question. The appropriation
for pensions for 1892 was S34 ,6S0,64 more
than for 1891, and the appropriation for 1891
was 500, 092, sos more than for 1890. These
figures show how rapidly the pension bur
den is increasing. At the present rate of
increase it will be only two or three years
before the pension charge will be more than
5000, 1000. 600 year-about four times the
cost of administering the government at the
beginning Of the war OF secession.
Aud still the demand for legislation in
creasing the pension list is being pressed
The cry now is that every man who took
part in the war on the union side should
have pension.
Will the country submit to be taxed to
pay this increasing pension burdena
Already there are heard murmurs of dis
content. Representative Enloe is quoted as
saying the government is now paying at
least $50, 1000, 900 per annum to persons who
are not strictly entitled to pensions. Is there
not a statesman courageous enough to de-
mand that the country shall be relieved
from the payment Of that part Of the pen
sion burdeni Unless something OF the kind
is done congress will have to find new ways
for getting revenue or increase the public
debt. The present revenues will not meet
the expenses of the government much
longer.
