Negotiations were begun yesterday be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe for a settlement of the matters In dis
pute between them. President Huntington,
of the former company, telegraphed Presi-
dent Reinhard, of the Santa Fe, suggest
ing a reference to arbitration OF all mat
tiers in dispute, pending the result OF which
rates should be restored and side trips
either abandoned by both or permitted over
both roads President Reinnard declined,
but suggested an immediate restoration OF
rates and negotiations for permanent
settlement to be resumed where they were
dropped by Vice President Croker last
summer He intimated that he expected TO
be in California within the month, and sug-
gested that the negotiations be resumed az
that time That is where the matter now
rests. Meantime. the Santa Re followed up
its notice of withdrawal from the Western
Passenger Association by filing an ad-
dftiOnal notice Withdrawing from all local
associations, and also from the immigrant
clearinghouse agreement. This action, il
IS thought, will materially aid in compli-

The Language of Circus Men, TFrom inc WOrcaeter Gazette I


 The circus folk not only have slang of their own, but as they are past masters in the general slang of the day, they talk a jargon which would be simply unintelligible to the uniniti- ated. They are in a line of business to catch every cant phrase going, and any new word which is only local in- vention.
 To circus man the manager or the head of any enterprise is always "the main guy" while those in more su- bordinate positions are simply "guys." The tents are "tops" to the circus men, and they are sub-divided into the "big top," the animal top," the "kid top," the "candy top" and so on in- definitely. The side show, where the Circassian girls, fat women and other curiosities termed freaks" are shown, is termed the "kid show," and the man with the persuasive voice who seeks to entice people into the "kid show" Is known as g. Darker"
 The men who sell peanuts, red lem onade, palm-leaf fans, animal and song books, and concert tickets, are known under the general term of butchers" while that class of circus followers whose methods are outside the pale of the law, such as pickpock- ets gamblers and short-change men, are either "crooks" or "grafters" To get persons money without giving them any equivalent is "to turn them" A countryman is either 8 "Rube" (Reu- ben) or Jasper"
 Thus if a countryman went into a side show and was robbed of ten dol lars there, a circus man would say: ""The Rube went against the grafter in the kid top and got turned for ten cases." From the combination of the warning cry of "Hey' and the word "Rube" comes the circus mans rally ing cry of "Hey, Rubew which is al- ways sounded in times when fight with outsiders Is imminent.
 The cry of Hey. Rubew has been in use among circus men for half a cen tury or more, and in the old days 1t was often followed by bloodshed and even loss of life. Fights between cir GUS men and outsiders are compara- lively rare to-day, however, and seri- ous trouble seldom occurs, except in sparsely settled regions in the south and west.
 The musicians with a circus are known as .twind-jammers," the can vasmen and other lahorers are razor backs" while g man who drinks to ex- cess is either a ''lusher" or ''boozer."t These last two expressions,are not con-, fined to circus men, but have been used largely and more commonly by them than by. any other class. The distance from one town to another is always known as jump" and trav- cling is jumping" A circus that travels overland Is known as Ia red- wagon show" in contradistinction- to v show that travels by rail. .4.4. {.

Granted that they often imbibed their opinion from below. and that they took. like their readers, very short views. the Walters dared give dehn- ite opinion. and that opinion constant ly became that of the legal country. , the body of middle-ciass voters.
 At one period, which lasted years. it was hardly possible to pass a law of which the Times disapproved, the great exception being the new poor law. about which for some reason 10 us uninteillgible, the Walter family took the bit in its teeth, would listen to nobody. and was hopelessly beaten -deservedly, every expert saw-down | to the present moment, when, strange ly enough. the idea for which MT Wal ter fought has become-most unwisely as We think-the dominant idea of the whole party of rapid social advance

The Walter Dynasty.

That any man should possess through long life power of initiative over English opinion is remarkable thing; but that dynasty pleading nothing but hereditary right should possess it is 8 fact that, we confess, appeals strongly to our professional imagination. Yet we do not see how the assertion can seriously be called in question. From the beginning of this century of marvellous changes, the Times has been for the governing class of Great Britain the one great journal: and the policy of that journal has been directed by the eldest male descendant of John Walter, printer, who in 1788 called the little paper which was his property the Times. It had been before the Universal Times,
 It is doubtless true that. as in the case of all other dynasties, the head of the great journalist line for the time being, has been assisted from time to time by ministers more competept oc- casionally even stronger. than himself. The third Mir. Walter, for example. must sometimes have felt toward Mir. Delane very much as the first Emperor William felt toward Bismarck but ul- innate power always rested in the hands of the head of the Walter fam fly, and the editor who SO swayed opinion was always his choice. and was always kept in his place by his unswerving support, There hes never been year in this century when the MT Walter of the day AaAlant receiued the most serious complaints from his chief minister, sometimes if kumqr speaks truly, urged bF premiefs and statesmen, and there has never been an instance in which thsa dynasty of the printing ofiiee has deserted his great subordinates.

Can Ants Talk.

II was one day standing in my gar den near the trunk of an old willow tree, up which q scattered line of ants was crawling. Alter time observed an occasional straggler coming down in the opposite direction. Here and there. couple of ants, ascending and descending, chanced to meet; but there was no stoppage and TO talk. Pres ently, at about five fe,t from the groand. smeared aGlittlc Hollow in the trunk with larg, spoonful of thick treacle, to seee hov loTg 1t would remain undiscovered. then went away for short time, and or my re- turn found about a dozen ants busily feast'ng on the treasure.

Meanwhile. the bearer of the good tidings made his own waJ' qmckly back to the nest few yards off ih the grass, to whi:h I watched h!m.
 He was soon lost to view but, be- yond all doubt, soon spread the news of treasure-trove throughout the col cny. Within half an hour of thar time a ltng unbroken line of hung y ants was marching direct to the tree. mak- ing straight for the feast, remaining there for time, and then returning t, tke nest in another line on the other side of the willow. This process, of asetnding and descending termitcs, went on for some hours; in fact, until dusl;, when the numbers of advancing guests grew less and less. and finally cGcsed. Before it was dark not a sin g e ant was to be seen, though early the next morning a fresh band o. aG- vcnturers set out in the same fashion, coming and going all day until every morsel of the sweets had disappeared Here, therefore, clearly solne talk about the surprising dainty had taken place between the two ants meeting on the rad to it.: wt'le things Tad been carried to the colony, wh:lh at once aroused all the inmates to go forth direct to the feast. possibly led by the very guide who r'.d first discovered 1t.

and Baron's complaint was diagnosed as collie. It was also evident that un- less something was done speedily the horse would not live long. A dose of medicine was prepared. in which mus tard and cayenne pepper were ingredi- ents. Baron's head was drawn to- ward the ceiling and the medicine poured down It's throat At stated in- tervals the dose was repeated. but the horse showed no symptoms Of improve ment. Meyers was greatly disturbed lest the horse should die. as he was without means to buy another. The winter was also coming on.
 At midnight the animal evlnced a desire to lie down. Meyers feared that If he permitted this 1t would never be able to get up again. The family had retired and the neighbor gone to his home. But Meyers. despite his fifty six years, concluded that he must lead the horse about to save its life. He led the horse out of the barn and down the alley to Courtland street and thence to Leavltt. For about two hours Meyers led Baron around the block. As soon as Meyers would stop the horse would attempt to lie down. Meyers was in great agony of mind. He was tired, but he dare not stop or the horse would surely He down and die. The strain proved too much for him, and he himself dropped dead near the corner of Leavitt and Courtland streets.
 A few minutes later Officer Simonson Of the West North avenue station dis cover ed Meyers dead body. He had seen him leading the horse about. and after the body was taken away went to look for the horse. He found It iy- !ng dead in the alley thirty yards away. Horse and master had died almost at the same time. The news was broken to the family by Officer Simonsan. They had expected that MT. Meyers would die suddenly. as he had con- r. ained frequently of heart trouble.

 Grief and financial ruin of a most distressing nature fill humble cot tage home at 47 Greenwich street. in the northwest section of the city. The body of the husband and father, Thomas Meyers, lies at Mitchell's un- dertaking establishment at Milwaukee and North avenues. Circumstances surrounding the death of Meyers also deprived the widow and children of means to earn 8 livelihood.
 Thomas Meyers was a peddler on a humble scale. He owned an old-fash- toned express wagon and horse that was bought several years ago at an auction sale at the stock yards. The wagon had seen much service and lit tie paint remained on it except the white figures that indicated the num- Der of Meyers license. Breaks here and there had been repaired with strips of iron and pieces of plank. The wheels wouldn't .strack," and the spokes rattled like dancing skeleton The curves in the shafts were not uni form, and the dashboard would dis grace a scavenger's wagon. However the vehicle would hold few bushels Of potatoes, a sack of apples, and sev- eral heads of cabbage and 1t answered Meyers' purpose.
 The horse looked as if 1t might have seen many years service on a street car line, Even Meyers never boasted of 1t during the last few years, and there need have been no doubt about the number of it's ribs It's name was Baron, but Baron never held it's head very erect to indicate that 1t was proud of it's, noble name.
 But with Baron and the express wagon Meyers made daily trips to South Water street for vegetables and fruit to peddle in the vicinity of Hum- boldt Park. In this way Meyers earned enough to pay the rent of the one-story cottage he lived in and that of the little barn at the rear. besides providing for the wants of his family and horse,
 Saturday Was always q busy day with Peddler Meyers. The thrifty housewives of that section provided themseIvee with fruit and vegetables for two or three days In advance. The Saturday load was always Baron's heaviezt. When MeyerA drove the horse home Saturday evening after an unusually hard days work he noticed that Baron looked sick. He gave him good supper Of oats. however. and went into 1ha cottage for his own meal Later In the evening Meyers found very siek horse. He was alarmed and ran for asaistance to a nelghbor.

TOBACCO GROWERS.
How to Sell Their Product.

DisCuhslHS HOW tO Seil 1nPlr fFOuuCts
 Hartford, Dec. 25-The tobacco grow CTS of Windsor will hold a meeting on Saturday of this week at 1 o'clock at the town hall to discuss the best way to dispose of their stock on hand.
 This is a subject in which there is at present the liveliest interest for the growers all through the valley are re- ported as in lot of trouble. Many of them have three or four years crop on hand, and there~is a very dead market on which to sell. For some time the prospect of a change in the tariff, the agitation brought on by the democrats, destroyed all chances of sales and since then the users of tobacco have been overloaded with Sunatra. They bought it in bond expecting the duty to be drop ped to a dollar. That was prevented, but they have the goods just the same and seem bound to work that stuff off before buying hereabouts. .~.
 The New England Tobacco Growers association win meet here in Hartford at American hall January 8, and the question how to sell will be actively discussed there. Many favor the plan of public auctions such as prevails at the west.
