THH BLRorRIO RAILWAY.

Since the schuylkill Traction Conn
pany put its retrenchment policy into
operation there have been many com.
plants and in some instances some
very bitter criticisms have been made
Many claim that in order to save at
the splgot leak has been sprung al
the bung and very brief period will
show loss to the company.
The railway Is in the hands of peo-
pie who no doubt know and have a
better opportunity to judge what is
best for the operation of the road, and
they have therefore concluded that
they can meet all requirements by de-
creasing its force of motor men and
conductors, increasing working hours,
and reducing the number of cars dur
ing certain periods of the day and
night; yet there are people who have
brought to the attention of the HER
AID matters which seem to uphold
the theory that the company has not
grasped the situation in an altogether
business.like manner For instance,
it is said that the length of time be-
tween the departure Of cars from Shen-
andoah has caused much grumbling
and unless change is soon made much
of the traffic gained by the electric
company will soon drift back to the Lee
high company. Secondly, it is claimed
that the retrenchment policy has beer
directed against the wrong corps oi
employees; that while the force of mo
tor men and conductors has been re
duced and the public suffers a CORE
spending decrease of accommodation
the company maintains seven bosses
for a repair gang of twenty men. The
latter assertion seems ridiculous on 1T
face, yet it comes from such an excel
lent source that the HERALD feel
constrained to give it publication anc
let the company guage its CORRECTNESS
by investigation.

ORLLIA, Ont, July 25.-The Hanlan-
Gaudaur championship boat race herelast
evening attracted a large crowd. The
start was made at 6;O4. Hanlan kept in
front for the first half mile, when Gaudaur
spurted by his opponent. Gaudaur in
creased his lead until within a quarter Of
a mile from the finish, where he stopped
rowing and waved his hand in response TO
the cheers Of his friends and hackers along
the shore. He then made magnificent
sDurt. and crossed the line an easy winner
by seven lengths in l9m 53s Haulan fin
ished 70 seconds behind. Hanlan has noti-
fed the stockholders not TO pay over the
stake money, claiming that the course was
changed, causing his defeat.

fshed out Of the sandy bed of the river
several years after the wreck occurred
The story is equally lacking in any
thing of a conhrmatory nature. If it
Is so. the finders must have lost their
heads in sampling the quality of the
goods, and thus forgot the lay of the
river at the lucky point The location
at which the Ogden went down is now
said TO be a sand bar, which would be
very easily worked at low water For
this reason the Ogden is said to be the
most promising of all the old wrecks
for soarchers after wealth carried down
by the treacherous Missouri There is
understood TO be a very fair working
capital available for anybody who can
suggest any feasible plan of operations.
Another two years went by, and then
the Twilight, a side-wheeler, went
down. The Twilight found bottom
near Sibley, above Fishing river. She
had on board cargo of between two
hundred and three hundred barrels of
whisky, bound for the mountains. The
point at which she went down is some
thing like a mile inland now and is a
very inviting field for exploration. A
number Of companies have been organ
lied to prospect for the buried whisky,
but the attempts made to locate it have
all been futile. Capt. George Keith, of
the steamer Mason, running between
st. Louis and Kansas City, has been at
the head Of a couple of companies and
has not yet given up the idea of locat-
ing it. Another attempt will probably
be made this coming summer Those
( three hundred barrels of Bourbon would
pay a big dividend on any reasonable
capital employed in drilling and exca-
waiting. The chances are, however,
when the find is turned it will be by
some farmers ploughshare.-St, Louis

PENSION PERSECUTION.

The Grand Army Of this stale has
expressed the general sentiment Of
loyal men throughout the country in
denouncing the persecution of Union
pensioners through the recent meth
ods of the Interior Department.
The men of the Grand Army would
not be worthy of their patriotic re
cord if they did not stand up
manfully, resolutely and cOurageously
for their prosecuted comrades. No
soldier worthy of the name would
sanction or fail 20 protest against
the abuse of power aud defiance Of
right and of law by which the pension
Of blind Joseph King was Withheld, by
which the children Of brave Stephen
Hilliard were deprived of the money
due to their father when he died, aud
by which other worthy veterans have
been punished for having helped sub
due the Rebellion.
The defrauded pensioners not only
have right and justice on their side;
they also have public sentiment.
There is a rising tide Of protest against
the sham aful course OF the authorities
at Washington in dealing with the
men who fought the battles of the
Union. The fl )od Of detraction and
misrepresentation has spent its force
and has beaten vainly against the
rock of truth. The heart of the nation
il true as ever to the cause for which
the surviving veterans risked their
lives, and of which their comrades
dieI. Those who imagined that the
Union soldiers, their widows and
orphans could be assailed and abused
with imp-.aity are finding that they
misjudged the American character.
Not Republicans alone but loyal
Democrats as well are slernly protest
log against the msltreatment of Union
veterans, and in every section of the
North utterances are heard denounc-
ing the injustice that would drive the
disabled Union soldier to the poor
house in order that Bourbon hate
might be gratified and the tariff re-
duced for the benefit Of the British
manufacturer.
The American people are in favor
of the enforcement Of the pension
laws both in spirit and letter. The
official who deliberately violates the
pension laws Is not only wronging
the pensioners, he is wronging the
people Of the United States whose

the old Ford's theatcr disaster Of June 9
last in which twenty-three persons lost
their lives and a large number of Others
were injured
The Indictment describes in detail the
excavations that were in progress for the
purpose of putting in an electric light
plant at the time of the accident, and AYERS
that Ainsworth, Dant Covert and Sasse
undertook the performance Of this work,
and, by reason of their most culpable neg

The grand jury then formally find that
in the manner described in the indictment
the accused did wilfully kill and slay the

HUSToNS FINANCIAL TROUBLE


The Ex-Treasurer's Bank Compelled to
Close-Depositors win Not Lose.
CoNNoRsvuLE, Ind, July 25 The Citi-
zen's bank of Connorsville, owned and
controlled by Hon. J. N. Huston, ex-treas-
urer of the United States, closed It's doors
yesterday. The suspension created gen
eral surprise, and something Of panic en-
sued. When the notice was issued, stating
that depositors would be paid in full, the
excitement subsided, and a run on the
other banks was ayerted.
Mr.. Huston says his liabilities will not
exceed S15O,OOO while his assets will more
than cover that amount. Mr.. Huston at
tributes his failure to malicious and SLAM
derous reports as to his being engaged in
speculation, which caused uneasiness
among his depositors, who made urgent
demands for their money.
EX-Treasurer Huston said regarding the
suspension Of the bank:
at is my misfortune. None of the de-
positors or creditors will lose a cent. Ny
personal property will more than coverall
liabilities, to say nothing about the real
estate. 1t will not affect any of the in
dustries in which ! am interested in the
least. The bank is my own individual
property, and every dollar that l am
worth will stand good for my personal Ii
abilities. No one will lose anything. All
that / ask is a little time and everything
will be satisfactorily adjusted. / have
been building up a business for twenty
[ years here and always took pride in my
/ honesty. Now l have the opportunity to
! show the people that / am honest. / want
no one to lose anything, not even those
/ who have been instrumental in bringing
my misfortune about"

THE MODERN DRAWING-RooM.


Though Far from Perfect, 1t Is Steadily
Improving.
When you can no longer turn round
in her drawing-rooms without jeopar-
dizing a spindle-shanl1ed table or com
ing into violent contact with a screen,
when you cannot cross the room with
out ducking your head to avoid fight
of cottonwood storl5s that are suspend
ed from the ceiling, and when you can
not enter the room without being
caught in the tangles-of bead cur
tain-then the modern hostess is proud
and happy, feeling that she has done
her duty by her house and her genera
tion.
And then an excellent receipt for the
construction of this sort of drawing
room is as follows:
Take five large screens, as man,
sofas, and a like number of palms.
Surround each palm and sofa with
screen so as to cut off as much as possi-
BILE all communication with the outer
world represented by the rest of the
room. Drape the screens with as many
different pieces of liberty silk as they
can conveniently carry, and tie up the
pots of each palm, and in some cases its
stem as well, with liberty scarfs. Pin
as many unseemly insects in the folds
of the draperies as you can. Hang a
| tambourine from one of the palm
leaves, sprinkle photographs wherever
you can and then serve up and await
results
I We cannot but recognize the truth of
this irritable description, and yet taste
in decoration is improving. 1t is graft
| iying to see less and less of the jim
| crack decorations entering into 'now-
aday" furnishings. We can all of us
recall the fearful white tides that we
dreaded to muss; and the Brussels car
pet with the awful scrawl design, and
the blue roses and the grave-lil1e mar
| ble mantels, and the orange-colOrcd
mats, and the white china door knobs,
and the Chinese pagodS of perforated
card board, that dear Aunt Maria made,
and those lovely wax peaches that be-
came dented with age, and as the
recollection Of it all dawns upon us we
wonder whatever became of the lovely
| box on the whatnot that was made by
pasting sea-shells all over it, and the
hangingbaskets, with the rustic twigs
stuck on with sealing wax-they looked
so much like coral
The whatnot was always such q
thing to be carefully guarded; there
were so many valuable things on it,
We wonder where the wonderful ships
are that came from the glass blowers
We no longer see the Berlin WOO
cross-stitch pictures that were hung on
the wall
! We no longer see the pastel picture
of Innocence" that hung in the corner
in frame that was all black walnut
and gold, and we miss Those grand slip
pers of magenta velvet with two greer
parrots embroidered in worsted.
All, those were the days of the renais
sance in American decorative art. They
were days, truly, of American schemes
in decoration, and we have come to the
conclusion that we cannot do better
than to slavishly initiate some of the
old world methods and old worlC
styles.-National Review.

The story told of newly elected
member of the Chamber of Deputies
in France, might well be made to ap-
ply to some of our Congressman, re-
gardless of age or length of public
service. When questioned as to what
his future course should be, in regard
to needed National reforms, the
French Statesman, in embryo, said;
"Oh, shall do as the others do. In
other words, am determined not TO
swerve one inch from the path OF
tradition" Perhaps our American
Solon might be too shrewd to make
the acknowledgment, but d glance
