RAILROAD KING AND LABOR LEADER

John M. Egan and Eugene v. Dcbs. Rival
Leaders In the Great Pullman Struggle.
The great Pullman railway boycott
has drawn good deal of attention to
the opposing leaders In that controversy
namely, John M. Egan, president of
tho General Managers association, and
E. Y. Dehs, the head Of the American
Railway union. Both OF these gifted
generals are comparative strangers to
the general public, although Mr.. Egan
has long been favorably known to rail
way officials, and for some years Mr.
Debs has been conspicuous among labor
leaders.
Mr.. Egan was born in Springfield,
Mass, March 90, 1846. He moved to
Illinois when boy and entered the H.
linois Central railway shops at Amboy
as an apprentice. In short time he
worked his way into the clerical depart
ment and at 10 was clerk In the freight
department. He was transferred to the
engineer 8 department, where he received

He was a veritable tramp. His
trousers were spattered with mud,
and both they and his coat were that
n0ndcscript color which only long eX-
posture to tue weather can give. The
spattered hat he wore, pulled well
down over his eyes, concealed the
half discouraged, half defiant eX-
preston of his face. AS he slouched
along in aimless fashion his clumsy,
broken shoes clattered on the pave
ment.
Years ago he had reclllessly left
home and since then he had only
heard news from the old place once.
That was a few days past, when he
had read of his mothers death in the
papers. He was ashamed to go back
then, though he longed to see her
face once more.
He did not mean to be gone so
long. But he had started out to seek
bis fortune, and he had found it.
Only it was not good fortune. All
his worldly possessions now consisted
Of a nickel, lying in the pocket of his
vest. Just sufficient to buy a free
lunch, and he was hungry enough to
spend it, He looked up as he neared
the corner, searching for favorable
place to invest the coin.
Coming down the avenue toward
him was an old beggar woman. She
bobbled along slowly, leaning on a
cane for the support which her trem-
bling limbs could not give. Her
weak eyes peered anXiously into the
faces Of pasSers-by ina vain appeal for
help, and her Wrinkled hand shook
as she held it out for alms. AS she
reached the corner cold wind blow
ing through the street made her
shiyer and pull her thin shawl more
closely about her shoulders
This motion attracted the tramp's
attention, and he glanced at her as
she passed, though she did not look
at him.
"Poor old soul lie muttered;
that's hard lines" He paused in
his walk. looked at the slowly re-

YOUNG LAWYERS erRATAaEHA


1t Might Have Worked but for an une1-
pected Incident.
The following story Is tod OF
Timothy Coffin who was tor long
time Judge of the New Bedford Dis
trict: When very young man he
was retained in case OF suf1clenC
Importance to bring out almost every
resident of the town, so that the III
tie New Bedford Court House was
packed when court was opened that
morning. Coffin had been secured as
counsel by the defendant. Although
1t was his first attempt in open court,
he had made little or no preparation,
thinking that he could get through
somehow or other when the time
came. Thus, when the counsel for
the defendant came into court that
morning he was greatly surprised,
and no less agitated, to see the big
crowd and realize the vide public in
terest in the trial at hand. He saw
that he looked upon the case too
lightly. The prosecution was strong,
and he had made not even a slight
preparation. To lose the case meant
the loss of q hoped-for reputation.
Could he afford to commit this blum
der by displaying his ignorance OF
the case? How could he get out OF
it? These were d few of the Que5-
tions that are known to have flashed
through the young lawyers head, for
afterward he himself told of the aw-
full perplexity Of the hour. Being a
shrewd inventor, he devised plan.
AS soon as the court had been called
to order an / the crier had said his
little say, he arose and asked for a
postponement of the trial, on the
ground that he had just received a
telegram announcing the sudden and
fatal illness of his mother, who resid-
ed at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words Of this APP
peal proceeded from the lips of young
Coffin when an elderly woman quietly
arose in the balcony of the court.
room and gave utlerance to these
words:
"Timothy, Timothy, how many
times have | chastised thee for ly-
lng?"
Timothy recognized the sound of
that voice only too well 1t was that
of his mother. This being Timothy's
first public case, the old lady had Sc
cretly come up to New Bedford to
see how well her son would do. Hey
presence was, of course, totally TN
known to him. The further develop
ments need not be recorded here.

No Wonder Wildcats Are Cross.

| have noticed in the stores of the
fur dealers in San Antonio that all
the hides of wildcats, especially the
legs, are literally filled with cactus
briars. Most animals avoid the cac-
tus, while the wildcat seems to hide
in it. Whether the cats are too
stubborn to ever learn that cacti have
thorns, or whether they do not ex-
perience pain to the extent that other
animals suffer, would be question
for anatomists or Psychologists to
answer The fact is that the insides
of the legs of the wildcats skin are
thickly covered with briars as is the
outside with hair.-[Texas Stockman

The sale in London Of an egg of
the extinct giant bird Epyorhis at
high price was lately noted. The
Epyornis was, in reality, the fabu-
lous Roc, of Snbad the Sailor in
arabian Nights, 1t has been
brought to London by Mr. j. Proc
tor, of Tamataye, in Madagascar. 1t
was discovered by some natives about
twenty miles to the southwest coast
of Madagascar The egg, which is
Whitley brown in color and unbroken,
is a fine specimen, thirty-three and a
half inches by twenty-eight inches,
and an even higher value is placed
upon it than upon the egg of the
great aux, which lived withinl the
memory of man. The immense pro-
portions of the egg are better dem
0nstrated by comparison with the
eggs of the ostrich and crocodile. An
ostrich egg is about seventeen inches
by fifteen inches, and the contents Of
six such are only equal to one egg OF
the Epyornis. The measurements of
the egg Of the crocodile are normally
nine inches by six and half inches.
1t would require the contents of six
teen and half emu eggs to equal the
contents of this great egg, or las eggs

Won NIoItke's Serenade.

Won Moltke once went to Lindau,
as he thought, incognito. He ordered
n room on the ground floor in the
"Bayerische Hof" and went to bed
early, but forgot to draw his blinds
down. When he was just going to
sleep he heard music drawing near.
He had been recognized, after all,
and was going to be serenaded again.
The difficulty was how to get dressed
without. being seen. He dared not
strike light. But presently the
glare of torches lit up his room and
the curious crowd stood close to the
windows, their noses pressed against
the panes. In spite of that he felt
that he must rise, so he got up and
dressed. But as he put on each piece
of his apparel, the feat was greeted
with loud and prolonged applause.

Paris March ia dynamite
bomb was exploded this afternoon in
side the main entrance to the church of
La Madelaine. The man who threw
the bomb was killed by the explosion
and a number of others were seriously
hurt
The full particulars are unobtaiuable
as the police are in possession of the
church AS soon as the explosion
was heard people rushed to the
scene and some who preceded the
police entered the building and found
it filled with smoke and could hear
shrieks and groans. There was APP
parently number of wounded people
inside Near the small door at the
right main entrance lay shattered hui
man remains. They were those of the
man who threw the bomb. Intestines,
brains and blood were scattered
over a large area. On the
body a number of anarchist papers
and portrait of Ravachol, the eXecut-
ed anarchist, were found. Fortunately
there were few people in the church
at the time. The church was very
little damaged. 1t is supposed the
man intended to explode the bomb
while the church was filled with wor-
shippers at the Lent services later in the
afternoon, and that the explosion al
that time was an accident. 1t seems
! that the door, through which he en-.
tered opens and shuts with a heavy
spring. 1t is believed this door swung
against him as he passed through anC
