The natural reaction from Worlds
fair travel has set in and passenger
traffic on Chicago roads is lighter than
ut corresponding time for FIVE years,
says a dispatch from Chicago. A fair
illustration Of the decrease is shown in
the Pennsylvania limited, which, during
the fair. was run regularly in two sections
with every car crowded Yesterday It
came into Chicago with but twelve pas
sengers. and today II had but ten. Cor
responding decreases are noted on nearly
every train coming into or going out OF
Chicago.
This decrease has caused the railroads

extent. 1t caused the abandonment OF
the exposition flyer, the twenty-hour
train between Chicago aud New York.
The abandonment Of this train is lit
tie short of a calamity. In many re-
spects II was bigger thing than the
roads which operated Ii. The Lake
Shore and New York Central are well
known. but five times as many people
were familiar with the fact that the
fastest train IN the world ran between
Chicago and New York as knew the
train was operated by the two Wander
bilt lines. The flyer was IN class by
itself The lake Shore and New York
Central, while being two OF the best
roads In the country. are still in the
same class with az least a half dozen
others. Merely as an advertisement the
flyer paid expenses. Nothing appeals to
The public so much as such train. and
the two roads have not IN Eve years

sand mile journey; special melon trains
were put on all the roads, and in water
melon time special schedules were made
out, in order that these trains might be
hurried through with the least possible
delay and the fruit brought to market
in good condition. OF course, all this
was not done from a philanthropic
motive. Railroad companies do not
usually undertake enterprises solely
of mankind. The hope and expectation
of the railroad men was to build up q
business that would pay them for their
trouble. They have succeeded in build
ing up the business; how we'll it paws
them is matter concerning which
they have not taken the public into
their confidence.
While work on a Georgia melon farm
is by no means pressing at most seasons
of the year, when the melons come to
| condition fit for shipping there is
good deal more haste manifested than
is observable at any other season. Cot
ton in the boil does not spoil by a little
waiting; sugar cane can be delayed u
day or two at least: peanuts and sweet
potatoes can be dug next week as we'll
as to-day, but the watermelon is i'm
perative: it will not wait day, and to
reach market in proper condition must
be gathered, loaded and forwarded at
once. A watermelon STATEN on down
South railroad, in melon time, presents
a busy scene. Teams are continually
arriving and departing, the wagons
laden almost to breaking with the dark
green fruit: gangs of laborers, their
sable skins shining with perspiration.
are loading the melons into the cars
that stand in readiness at the station.
The professional joke maker finds an
ample field for the exercise of his
talent in the proclivity of the colored
man of the South for watermelon steal
ing, but where watermelons are so
abundant and so cheap, the theft of
melon from a field is regarded as
scarcely more criminal than the alb
straction of drink of water from
neighbor's spring. Every year thou
sands upon thousands of samples little
too ripe for shipping are left to rot in
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1893-10-04

apparatus Of the African fellow-citizen

in assisting to solve the economic

this respect it of course must share the
glory with the humble and ofttimes de-
spised goober or peanut, which from an
occasional and ichance product has
risen to position of grave Importance.
But, from q commercial standpoint. the
watermelon Outranks both the goober of
Tennessee and the gator skin of Florida
and holds It's own even when placed in
comparison with so important an
article OF commerce as the turpentine
Of North Carolina or the fisheries
along the coast.
This pre-eminence has not been at-
tanned by accident, but by the most in
telligent and assiduous effort on the
part OF the railroad companies, which
have practically created the water
melon business Before the DAYS of
railroads there were, of course, water
melons. There perhaps never has been

Benighted Heather Who Believe In the

There is sect In Orissa. in the
Bengal Presidency, who worship
Queen Victoria as their chief divin-
ity. Colonel Graham discovered that
her Majesty was also an object of
worship in the temple of the Pho.
donga-Kama, at Tumlong, in Thibet.
A sect in the Punjab worship a diety
whom they called Nikkai Sen.
This Nikkai Sen was no other than
the redoubted General Nicholson and
nothing that the General could Go or
say dampened the enthusiasm Of
his adorers. M. du Chaillu tells that
some OF the African savages looked
upon him as superior being, and the
South Sea Islanders worshiped Cap
tain Cook as deity. Even when
they had killed him and cut him into
small pieces the inhabitants Of Owy-

A recent life Of Peter Stuyvesant
describes some of the social phases of
New York at the time when it. was
New Amsterdam. A rigid dignity OF
behavior was en;Oined upon the
citizens, and emf creed by a multiple
ity of fines.
The magistrates were treated with
great respect by the people, and were
generally addressed as Most wor-
shipful lords" They evidently had
no Official titles. and when Stuyvesant
addressed them he adopted that form
which best suited his humor.
In announcing fast day. he di-
rected his letter to 1.-THE Most
Worshipful, Most Prudent and very
Discreet. their High Mightinesses,
the Burgomasters and Schepens of
N1euw Amsterdam. But when
quarrel had arisen on the propriety
of game called "Riding the Goose"
he addressed his angry reproofs to

She Knew Herself.

The New York Tribune has a
pretty story of Ethel and her aunt.
The aunt, it appears, had many cares
and Interruptions, and had been
heard TO sigh for solitude. Just one
hour day of rest and quiet would
be priceless boon to her.
"Aunty." said Ethel one day, after
a full three minutes OF silence:
''when l am real rich. when have
millions of dollars, the first thing /
shall do will be to hire a real SOL
dier, with real gun, to stand and
guard your door SO you can have all
the solitude you want. will pay him
thousand dollars a week.
Aunty expressed her appreciation
OF such kindness.
''But, aunty," added Ethel, in a
sadly reflective tone, II Just know
l shall be the first person to get
shot"
