Returned the Papers.

A we'll known gentleman in this city
moved into house that had been pre-
viously occupied by another gentleman
who was subscriber to one of the even
ing papers. The carrier of course con
tinued leaving the paper for space of
a year, never having been notified of the
change The collector recently went
around to collect for the paper, the bill
being made out in the name of the gen
tieman who had subscribed. When the
collector presented the bill the gentle
man of the house said:
"Why, my dear sir. that man has moi
lived here for over year. You are at
the wrong house."
"Well, has not the carrier been leav
ing you a copy of the paper all the
timer"
Yes, sir. But | did not subscribe
and told the boy to quit leaving it
But he never did So"
"You have received the paper every
day haven't you?'
YES, sir
"Then you ought to pay for it
"Well, excuse me moment" and the
gentleman went into the house. Re
turning in moment he lugged out a
stack of newspapers half as tall as him
self. Here are your papers, sir; have
no use for them"
He had read them and carefully filed
them away until the bill should be pre-
sented
The collector sent transfer wagon to
haul away a years accumulation OF
papers, the pay for which he failed tc
get, because one man returned them ano
the man never received them.-Chatta

A DIFFERENT STORY.
No Riot Occurred - NOn-Union Sailor
Arrested for Desertion.

No Riot Occurred NOn-Union Sailors
Arrested for Desertion.
Special to the HERALD.
SAN PEDRO, March 25.-The article in
the Express is misleading. No riot, no
disturbance occurred. Perfect quiet
prevails. The steamer Corona this
morning had on board eighteen men, a
crew for the ship America, in charge of
United States Shipping Commissioner
G. W. Thorrold. They were placed
on board the ship in the outer
harbor. Some sixty Sailors union men
were there when the non.union crew
arrived, and persuaded them to leave at
once. They came ashore, started for
Los Angeles and were arrested on the
train at Wilmington, brought here and
are now in Jail on the charge of deser-
ton. They will be examined tomorrow.
Everything is quiet.

Amending Her Prayer.

is accustomed at bedtime, after having
had hilarious frolic Ell dishabille, to re-

Jesus, gentle shepherd, hear NE.
Guard thy little lamb tonight;
Through the darkness be thou near me.
Watch ny sleep till morning light.
These lines she has faithfully repeated,
word for word. with the remarkable and
inimitable pronunciation common to
all children at her age, but last night
she astonished Us by saying
Guard thy little lamb tonight,
Through the--that not darkness that
gaslight!
And surely enough, new lamp post
had been erected during the day ON our

WANT LARGER DIVIDENDS
Englishmen Reported to Favora Change
in the Pennsylvania Management.
Seemingly Not Satisfied with Greater Returns
forTheir Inves,mentthanT They Can Get Any
where Else-Mr. Peck's Mission to Chicago.

The report that the English stock holders
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
are uneasy and are disposed to oust George
b. Roberts from the presidency of the COM
pany and its Western lines is causing a
good deal of talk and some anxiety. as the
object of the English stockholders Is to in
crease dividends and expend less in inn
provements to the property. The stock
holders have been receiving per cent.
dividends yearly, and this year per cent.
but this sum is unsatisfactory to them.
In speaking of thisyesterday one of the best
informed railroad men located here. but not
connected with the lines. said:
This would be q misfortune TO the rail-
what you please, the Pennsylvania RAIL
road Company Is always in the lead in In
PRODUCING lie equipments. and In maln-
tanning the physical condition of it's prop
erty. The very fact that its engineers OF
maintenance OF way and ofhcials OF all de-
partments are in demand to fill places on
other strong roads Is evidence that the
Pennsylvania has men OF more than ordi-,
nary ability at the head oe the various de-
partments and TO curtail the improve
ments which they carry out Is unfortunate
for the future OF the roads of this country,
IS they are still far from PERFECTION in
physical condition, and much has yet to be
learned regarding the operation of railways.
The Pennsy lyania has been looked upon as
disposed to spend money literally in
the right direction. The Engllshmen well
know that the best American railways
must expend considerable money before
the roads will reach that state of perfec-
ton already attained by English roads. SO
far as rOad-bed is concerned. In equip
ments America undoubtedly leads all
foreign countries"
