well-behavcd officials In nearly every
instance. OF course, during the Begin
ming of the Harrison administration,
there was tendency on the part of
some officials to magnify their offices at
the expense of the people. This is a
very common thing in public life in
Washington. When a man is indicted
into prominent office and has messen-
gers to attend his every want, watch
man to look after him whenever he goes
out and whenever he comes in, lac!Sey
to dust his clothes and blacltrn his
shoes, and in many instances q horse
and coupe in which to drive back and
forth from his house to the department,
or from his Office to various points
of interest throughout the city, it is
not unnatural that these things should
produce largeness of the head.
The gentlemen who are going out
and are now standing with their faces
to the sidewalk will realize ut least. one
portion of the lesson of individual lit
tlcness which is learned by rotation in
office. The gentlemen who arc coming

officials will be troubled with u large

HAPPENING IN ENGLAND.

A NEW English coinage is to be put In
circulation early this year.
WITHIN the last thirty years there
have been on the British coasts over
sixty thousand wrecks, with the fearful
loss Of twenty thousand lives.
UPWARD of Z, ,26s lives are lost annually
In the inland waters and upon the inn
mediate coasts of the United Kingdom,
exclusive of those lost "at sea-"
FIVE THOUSAND guineas was paid for
the English hackney stallion Danegelt
q short time ago, probably the highest
price ever paid in England for any horse
not thoroughbred.
THE deaths Of forty-five centcnarians
were reported in England last year,
twenty-five men and twenty-th three
women. In 1891, according TO the rec
ord, forty-eigbt centenarians died, and
thirty-six in each of the three preceding
years.
AN investigation which has been pros
ecuted by the British royal labor COM
mission indicates that in England the
servant Ia far better off in regard to ia
cilities for legal redress than is the en-
ployer. and that legislation would not
bring these two Glasses closer together

NEW YORK, March lit was learned
on good authority yesterday that Royal
Phelps Carroll's challenge for the Roy al

Mr.. Carroll expects TO be back in time

STREET RAILWAY SYNDICATE
Which Seeks to Control All Lines In
New England Cities.

V'ANa ceehs W SohtToi AL
New England Cities.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The New Eng
land street railway company is no myth.
The directors have been named, and in a
few months some idea of the size and
power of the syndicate will be gained. 1t
will at the outset endeavor to control all
the street railways in the principal towns
and cities of the New England states, and
In few years electric cars, its promoters
claim, will be running from Connecticut
to Maine.
THE names Of the directors show them
to be largely New York and New Haven
financiers," said Lawyer Louis Chandler Of
the firm of Dill, Chandler a. Seymour,
counsel for the new company.
"The company, then, is part of general
scheme to cut Reading and Boston and
Maine out of passenger trsffics" he was
asked.
Yes, you can put it so If you like That
is substantially So"
The certificate of incorporation of the
company, which was filed in New Jersey,
provides for cash capital of 35,0o0, 600,
with power to increase to $50 ,000, 600. Some
of the street railways now under the
control Of the syndicate are in Boston,
Haverhill, Gloucester, Chelsea, New Haven
and Providence

DON'T HURT AGGIE."
How an Actor Was all "Broken Up" by
His Little boy.


A most amusing story is related of
Thomas W. Keene who appears at the
Opera House tomorrow. 1t may not be
generally known but it Is fact that be
is the father of one of the most beautiful
girls, or one OF the most fascinating
women, with which any man on or off the
stage has ever been blessed She is Agnes
Arden, the wife or Edwin Arden, a tai
ented young actor.
Singular ID relate, while she Is most
talented AS an actress, she has no pencil
ant for the stage and Is never so happy
as when surrounded by her father,
mother and husband at the fireside OF the
homestead on Staten Island where she
reigns supreme. But this has nothing
to do with the story In point.
When Agnes was very little girl and
her father was the leading man In the
theatre, the pretty little maiden was
cast for the part OF the Duke Of York"
while her father gave his great inter
pretition OF Richard Ill" There was
still another member OF the family
younger than Agne., a youth of extrene
precociousness whose name was Claude,
and who, one night when there was to be
an extremely fashionable audience. was
given u sat of honor in "a box of
the theatre In order that he might
pass his verdict on the acting OF his
illustrious sire, rs well as on the ability
of his very much loved sister. When the
crooked and distorted Richard strobe
upon the stage in his great scene with
the childr n at the tower and rested his
haud upon the young duke impersonatei
by Agnes, aud the Stiffness of death
reigned throughout the vast audience
waiting for that great speech, Master
Claude shouted at the top Of his voice
Paps, don't You hurt Aggie; don't you
hurt her, please, papa"
To describe the scene that followed
would ;be beyoId the imagination OF n
Haggard. The hunchbackei ana lame
Richard faded out OF existence and In
his cad came an actor crushed I'm genius
and convulsed with laughter. Ia full
sympathy Mas the audience, and great
roar went up that was followed by one
shout OF laughter after another. until In
the utmost c infusion the curtain was
iung down and young Claude was
ignominiously elected from the theatre

Investigation is to be made into the mys-
terious death Of Francis Vincent Small,
the 9-year-old son Of Owen and May Small

the physician In attendance giving bron.
chitis as the cause. Certain suspicious
circumstances, however, have led the
police to interfere and take the parents
into custody, pending an investigation by
the coroner.
The complaint which induced the inves-
tigation was made by John l.. Rose, who
occupies the same tenement with the
Small family. He said;
Last week Francis and his 10-year-old
sister Bessie quarreled, and l saw her

him in my house and bandaged the wound.
Since then he has complained Of the terri.
,ble pains he suffered about the head.
{ Last Saturday night, during the sleet
storm, Bessie came home. There was no
wood in the house. She made the little
fellow get up and go out after the wood.
He was in a high fever and could hardly
stand. He told her ho was sick, and
heard him distinctly say, Bessie, I'm dy
ing" She delivered herself Of volley OF
oaths and forced him from the house.
1.-THE dying lad never murmured, but
crossed the tracks in his bare feet, with
little axe in his hand, over snow banks six
feet high, and soon returned with an arm.

and expired.

The neighbors tell stories of Bessie's i'm.
morality that seem hard to believe. Small
Is now suing his wife for divorce, and he
told Mr.. Rose Saturday that, If he could
not get the decree, he would kill her. The
accused sister left the house in company
