Our Shortened Schedules.

While the fast mail from New Golk
to Jacksonville reaches here later than
it did last winter, it is running on a
much faster schedule-the fastest, in
fact, ever operated between the two
cities. not excluding the vestibuled
schedules even.
For instance, the regular fast mail
schedule last winter was 80 hours and
55 minutes, the passenger taking the
train from New York at y O'Clock
midnight of Monday, Say, and reach
ing Jacksonville at $50 o'clock a. d.
on Wednesday. This was an excellent
thing for the public here, for it placed
the New York and other northern
newspapers in our hands by 9:l5 in the
morning and our mail by 10 or 1890
But for the travelling public the old
time of leaving New York and all
points between there and Washington
was extremely awkward. Nobody
likes to start on a journey at midnight,
and the result Was, as long as the old
schedule was in operation, that the tour
lists particularly preferred to take the
other train which was slower but started
at a more convenient hour.
Now, however, the schedule is not
only more convenient but much faster.
The passenger leaves New York at $50
a. NJ. one day and reaches Jacksonville
the next at lis p. m.-the running
time being only q hours and As min
utes and the, traveller being only one
night on the road. This short time is
due chiefly to the Atlantic Coast Line
cutoff anu it is something that the
public will appreciate thoroughly as
often asst is called upon to travel south
ward.
It should be borne in mind also in
this connection hat the railroad and
steamship companies between New
York and Havana-eight in number
formerly received additional pay from
the post office department for their
fast mail service, this amounting to
about quarter of million dollars an
nually. The same companies now give
US much faster schedule but without
any additional pay. We surely have
nothing to complain about in this par
ticular.
In all probability 'he regular sched-
ule will be materially shortened next
winter, and the vestibuied trains will
undoubtedly cover the distance from
New York to Jacksonville in twenty
four hours-landing passengers il
Jacksonville in season for breakfast
and in St. Augustine for late break
fast or for a noon luncheon.-4he Flor
ida Times Union.

ONE ON SAM JONES.
How he Was Supplied With Buttermhk
in Dallas.

The Dallas (Tex.) News tells good
one on Rev. Sam Jones.
Brother Jones is very fond of butter
milk and in conversation with re-
porter the ether night jocularly re-
marked that he could drink more but
termlk than anybody in town. land
no one," said he, "could send me any
thing that I would appreciate more
than fresh buttermilk."
The News published Rev. Sans re-
mark, but it seems the brethren and
sisters failed 10 see the joke and took it
s'riously.
The next nloruing Brother Jones had
no: been out Of bed ten minutes before
there was knock at his door and the
b IL boy handed him tin bucket full
of fresh milk, sent by sister who bad
fine Jersey COW. He accepted it and
turned the bucket up to his parched
lips and took long swig.
Just then another knock sounded on
the door aud the bell boy had a pitcher
of bL. cmiIk sent by lady who had
Holstein COW.
"Humph," said Brother Jones, II
won't suffer fo- buttermilk on my last
day in Dallas"
he resumed reading and in few
minutes a knock came again, and this
time the bell boy had two half gallons
of buttermilk sent by two different sis
ters, and Brother Jones commenced to
smile.
Then he went down to pick chick
en- bone and drink cup of coffee. Then
he hastened back to his room. When
he arrived at his door there were no
less than three men and two boys, and
each had buttermilk for him, and be-
fore he could get his door locked two
more brethren came bringing butter
milk.
Brother Jones commenced to grow
restless and was beginning to wonder
if every sister in town had churned the
day before. He lighted his cob pipe
and started to read the morning paper,
when the bell boy informed him that
there were two ladies in the parlor who
wanted to see him. He went down
and to his horror each lady had a
pitcher of buttermilk for him, and they
commenced to sing the praises of their
COWS.
Brother Jones was beginning to look
haggard and distressed, and when the
bell boy brought up the card of caller
he shouted, $50 back and tell the gen.
tleman. that it is impossible for me to
see Anyone, and that I've. got milk
enough to float a Trinity river steam
boat
Rev. Sam then picked up the News
and read his talk with the reporter
about buttermilk. "That's what's the
matter" he said throwing the paper to
the floor. "That long-legged, gander-
necked, slab-sided little fool Of re-
porter put that in the paper, and here
they are sending me enough milk to
drown in."
Then another knock at the door was
answered, and 8 darkey entered with
gallon pickle bottle of fresh milk.
.'Take that stuff back and tell them
that 7 am sick of buttermilk."
Then he made a bee-line fol, the
elevator, and barely escaped three more
sisters with pals of milk.
Next time Brother Jones works off
Joke in Dallas he will see that it is ac-
companied by diagram, and will end,
s'No buttermilk wanted"

a Tender Handed Tramp.

Robert James Gordon, q casual, de-
cllned to break stone in return for food
and shelter at the Newcastle workhouse,
and doubtless much to the surprise of
the workhouse authorities successfully
resisted the proceedings taken against
him for that act of INSTRUMENTATION. Be-
ing called on in the Newcastle police
court to explain his refusal, Mr.. Gordon,
who appears to be an educated man and
is described as speaking logically and
fiuently," asked the bench to consider
what such work meant to man like
him.
His hands would, he said, become
quite lacerated, and were he clerk or a
tailor the result would be that in search
ing for employment afterward he would
be unable to follow it, In the case of n
shorthand writer, too, he asked how he
would be able to write 100 words per
minute if his hands were mangled in the
way they assuredly would be after break
ing ton of stone. His chances of gain
ing work were thus minimized, and he
submitted respectfully" that accord
ing to law the master of the workhouse
did not use any of the discretion which
the regulations directed him to use.
After the magistrates had consulted
together for some time, the chairman
stated that the bench could not agree
upon decision, and that the defendant
would thus get the benefit of the circum-
stance. Personally, he added, he should
certainly have punished him, but his col
league being of different opinion they
had concluded to dismiss the case.-Lon-
