cUT-RATE CONTRACT.
IN indianapolis Road Evidently Not
Afraid OF n Boyco The Al
ton Prefers Charges.

The al Erie & Western road yesterday
made a reply to the request of the Western
Passenger Association lines that il with
draw it's rate OF $2475 from indianapolis to
Denver and return on excursion business
under penalty OF having all its tickets, no
matter for where issued, refused by all the
association lines. The Lake Erie * West
ern says that it has but one contract at
the price named in its notice, and that 1t
cannot legally avoid carrying out the con-
tract; what is more ii has no intention
of trying 10 avoid il, and proposes TO
carry the passengers at the agreed rate,
10 matter what the result. The association
has taken no action on the reply as yet,
but will probably do so before the present
meeting at Chicago adjourns. The meet
ing Of the Western Passenger Association
yesterday developd nothing but routine
business OF an uninteresting character.
The road has preferred charges against
the Missouri Pacific before the local pas
senge association at st. Louis for cutting
the same excursion for which the Missouri
$3.50. The Missouri Pacific claimed that the
Alton was a party 10 the side trips from
Denver which were advertised by the Union
Pacific. This charge the Alton denies, and
insists that even IL it were true 1t afforded
no justification for the action of the Mis-
lars Offering such side trips on its own
account, and besides the Union Pacific had
withdrawn its side trips before the Missouri
Pacific cut rates on account OF them

Pittsburg was originally called
Fort Du Quesne, then became Fort
Pitt, in honor Of the great British
premier.
Chicago was named from the Chica-
go river, which in turn took its name

IhL HEAD USED ON QOAhlbhS AMI DiMho
ton. In the right corner of the hand
some certificate is the vignette of Sec
retary Marcy, and on the left is the
face and bust of an unnamed but at
tractive female.
AS soon as the new bill was circu-
lated around the treasury department
a numb of the old employees scruti-
nized the features of the unnamed and
declared that they were familiar. No
one, however, could recall the face at

information about the model further
than to say she was a real flesh and
blood model and not an ideal Further
questioning developed the fact that
she was still in the lard of the living.
Europe was her abiding place.
The new bill was passed from hand
to hand for some days after this. Curl
osity among the treasury employees
was at concert pitch, when one of the
new certificates happened to come be-
fore the eyes of a retired army officer
who is at present living in Washing
ton, and who twenty years ago was
recognized as one of the gayest Of
New Yorlk's gay,bachelors.
He studied the face for a moment,
then said:
"Why, that's Josie Mansfield, the
woman for whom Ed Stokes. the pro-
prietcr of the Hoffman house in New
York, shot Erie Jim Fisk in the Grand
Central hotel years ago"
Such proved to be the case. num-

reigned as the queen of the New York

the faces are not the reproduction OF
real life, but are ideals. In few
cases these people are right, but In
the great majority they are wrong
Most of these faces are those of hand
some women in various walks OF life
whose particular type of beauty has
appealed to the designers of the plates
from which the currency is struck on
and to those who prepare the moulds
from which our silver coins are taken.
1t is the statuesque Juno-like type OF
beauty that generally appeals TO
these designers and the subjects are
not always chosen from the higher
walks of Hfe.
On bills of high denominations
have appeared from time to time the
faces of favored courtesans, and in
one instance the model was her
culean washerwoman with the stern,
strong, aggressive features OF
Medusa.

The theory that forest fires are gen.
orally started by sparks from locomo-
tives seems to have been contradicted
by the census figures of 1890. OF
1888 forest fires on record it was found
that 115 were unaccounted for, thirty
five were started from tobacco pipes,
seventy-six from camp-fres, 262 from
malice, 62S by hunters, 1859 by per-
sons clearing land, and but sos by To-
eomotive sparks. 1t is claimed by
those who have investigated the sub
ject that destructive forest fires are
unnecessary, as witness the expert
ence of the state of Maine, the "Pine
Tree" state. No destructive flame
ever sweeps across that state, and
Canada, with her thousands of square
miles of timbered land, is never sub
jected to such awful holocausts as
Wisconsin and Minnesota have suf-
fered.

John Quincy Adams Fondness for Fishing.
The old story, good enough to be
true, is revived about the late John
Quincy Adams as a disciple of the
gentle art of fishing. 1t is told that
Quincy client of his, whose case was
TO be tried on a certain morning was
unable to get his counsel to go to
Boston or to leave his fishing boat,
except long enough to write a note
to the judge, which, when presented,
caused that worthy magistrate to an

detained on important business.

HENcEFoRTH Chicago school chill
dren are to be taught to write a verti-
cal rather than the old-fashioned
slanticular system of penmanship.
The theory is, and it seems plausible,
that to make vertical letters requires
for the maker a healthier position
than does the old angular style. The
position for vertical letter writing is
directly before the desk, the body
erect instead of having half of il
prone upon the desk, with the tongue
out, as has been the tendency in
teaching the making of slanting let
ters. Vertical handwriting is likely
to be much more legible than that ol
the lop sided quality.

This surprising discovery prepares
the mind for the possible news that
there is a Mammoth cave concealed

a whispering gallery, sunken river and
all the other orthodox geological at
fractions. 1t may be that another
Cardiff giant will be found standing as
a sentinel at the enterance.
