SENATOR MOODS PASS.

Thomas Topper Tries to ride on
Senat"C l.. C. Woods railroad
pass, but IS caught ut it. The
pnss taken up by the conductor.
Interesting story for Alliance
men reproduced from the st.
Paul Globe OF Jan, 9th,
Who has been travelling on q rail-
road pass belonging to Senator T..
4. Wood, OF Alatsl.All county,
That some one besides the venera-
bic senator has been trying to do so
as evidc1lced by the following from
the FOLK County .]onrnnE
Going down the Northern Pacific
train on Friday evening OF last week
somebody handed the conductor
pass made out in the name OF Sem
Tor l.. q, Wood, and when requested
to sign his name, wrote al. G.
Wood" but it was so different from
the signature on the pass that The
conductor was suspicious and ie-
pucSted him to identity himself FUR
Their by show in- some letter or paper
or any d0rGn;eht he might have
about hisa, This the man utterly
refused to do, anti when informed
unless lie did SO he would ba obliged
TO put up fer his fare and forfeit the
pass, he produced q fat pocknthOok
and producing IL $40 bill, handed it
to the conductor, who kept the pass
and handed back the change. The
question is, "ii that was Senator
Wood, why did he pny his fare rnth-
"r tinn comply with reasonable
request, aul ii it was not him who
WAS ;t?''
\ gentleman we'll acquainted with
Senator Wood Was in tho city Il day
or two ago and explained this Incl
dent, saying tina t the pass had Eeen
given by Senator Wood or his son
to II man who is now an officer uf the
senate, nnt that it was used hy him.
Evidently this WAS hetwaen Marshall
county and Winnipeg junction,
where Il new conductor was encOunt-
erred, who took up the pass. Srna-
tor Wood evidently believes in max
ing the fullest possible use Of lis
railroad passes.
Senator Wood is one of tire three
Alliance srnntora who deserted their
constituents on the organization of
the senate lass Tuesday. He receiv-
ell in addition to a federal office he
has been holding, & s. per day job

Various cities in Germany have es-
tablished municipal eating houses as a
means for minimizing begging and to
relieve the worthy poor of the neces.
sity of accepting food given in charity.
Our Consul at Chemnitz, Jan es c..
Monaghan, in a report to the State De.
partment, gives a most favorable ac-
count of an institution of this kind in
that city, as the result of visit. 'sThe
food is substantial, he declares. "To
. hhrd-Yorking' man will appetite
sharpened by exercise, the dinner is
excellent. Themeats, vegetables, ETC.,
are properly cleaned and prepared be.
fore they are cooked. Everything is
kept clean, and smells sweet and whole
some. The people, who look hearty,
gather in large rooms on benches
placed by long tables. Besides the
dinner, the midday meal, supper is
served to those who wish it." From
the list of the food given, observes the
Boston Herald, it appears to be sub
stantial and excellent in kind and
variety, and that the institution is ap-
preciated is evidenced by the fact that
last year 435,3 dinners were sold.
The food is sold by the portion, and
an ample dinner never costs more than
ten cents. The establishment is 30
practically managed that it yields
something OF profit to the city: the
expenditures last year were S15, 557. %,
and the receipts were SIT, sol. GO, leav-
ing balance of 1894. 40. At our
municipal lodging house here in Bos-
ton, meals and lodging are paid for in
work. Our custom of giving out free
soup at the police stations through the
winter has little to commend it. It is
demonstrating and encourages vagrancy
and pauperism. The bounty often goes
to unworthy recipients, and instances
have been related of keepers of cheap
boarding houses obtaining supplies for
their tables regularly in this way. On
the other hand, many who may really
need the food are too sensitive to re-
ceive it in charity. 1t would be much
better to sell the soup at cost, together
with bread and perhaps other simple
kinds Of food.

A WO0d.Du ck's Tomb.

A couple of days ago at the farm OF
G. w. HutchIns, seven miles from
Marysville, bee-tree was found near
the east bank Of Feather River, which
was cut to obtain the honey. After
the tree was cut down to the ground,
an investigation was instituted and the
honey located in a hollow half way be-
tween where it was cut and the top.
On cutting open the body of the tree
they secured about eighty pounds OF
honey, eleven duck eggs, and a dead
duck. It appears that wood duck
had formed cavity through hole
that was originally large enough to ad-
init her body. After laying eleven
eggs she had commenced setting to
hatch them, and while doing so the
bees had filled the hole with comb sc
that she could not get out, and she
died on the nest Red Bluff (Cal.) De

Trading Posts in the Far Northwest.

The trading posts of the company
are strange, quaint looking places,
built according to a general type. A
trading post is invariably square in
closed by immense trees or pickets,
one end sunk deep in the ground and
placed close together; platform
about the height Of an ordinary man
is carried along the sides of the square,
SO rs to enable anyone ON the inside
to Peep over without being in danger
from arrow or bullet. The entrance
is closed by two massive gates, an
inner and outer, and all the houses Of
the chief traders and employees, the
trading house, furroom and stores are
within the square.
The trade room is cleverly contrived
so as to prevent sudden rush of In
dams, the approach from outside the
pickets being through narrow pas
sage, only of sufficient width to admit
one Indian at time, and bent at an
acute angle near the window where
the trader stands. II the passage were
straight the trader could easily be
shot. At the four angles are bastions,
octagonal in shape, pierced with en-
brasures, to lead the Indians to be-
lieve in the existence Of cannon

The Policemen Of Seville.

Seeing that Seville is one of the
most important cities of Spain, it is
rather odd that the guardians of the
peace inspire in the citizens neither
fear nor respect. In fact, they re-
semble the old "charleys," or watch
men that used to walk the streets of
London.
The policeman of Seville is clad in a
long coat and is armed with q spear
like mountsin-climber's staff. At
night lie carries, q lantern hanging
from his belt, and after the clock has
struck twelve his chief business is to
call the time and the weather. As
nearly everybody is in bed by mid
night, his services are Of little use, ex-
cept perhaps to prevent some folks
from sleeping.
Even the Spanish laugh at the city
police, with their melancholy howls
that disturb the peace the men are
supposed to keep.
To make up for this poor SORT of con-
stable, there is another police called
the OWL guard, who possess tremen-
dous powers. They are authorized to
shoot down any one Offering resistance
to them. The consequence is that
every one stands in awe of them, but,
on the whole, though sometimes they
abuse their Office, they preserve order
and have reduced the once high rate
of crime.-New York Journal.
