FUNNY LErrERs.

Omaha Bee.
The general passenger agent Of a great
railway system is called upon in the
course of a year to reply to many prcul-
lar requests, and as for peculiar letters
they are as plentiful as the flowers In
me spring. General Passenger Agent
FRANCIS probably receives as many
strange requests as any man engaged In
looking after the passenger interests
interests Of a railroad, aud some Of the
requests take on the most humorous
forms conceivable.
Yesterday there came TO the general
Passenger agent Of the Burlington a let
ter from farmer In Iowa requesting
descriptive pamphlet Of the Burlington
system, and particularly that part treat
ing of Nebraska lands. In writing to Mr.
Francis the Iowa husbnudman said. In
looking over our last paper I noticed your
ad and thought by gosh I'll write to you,
AS have not got any place rented yet
and ! can go If | please or say here, il
makes no difference where | am, Just 80
| get enough to keep me" Then follows
the request for something about the farm
lands of Nebraska.
Here is one from Illinois; ''Please give
me rates from my town to Holdredgc for
myself. my dog and my Wife my dog
weighs 40 pounds, my wife cighty-scyen
pounds" Mr.. Francis referred the matter
to Assistant Freight Agent Smith.
Listen to this. A man from little
town in Iowa writing for rates says;
PLEASE give me rates on a carload Of
goods. l have a threshlng mach 20, four
cows, q dog, two horses, u wife aud a
mule The words 'aud Il mule were
scratched and the seeker after knowledge
concluded, mo, an the mule, | won't

partment where It obviously should have

SIGNATURE CHARACTERISTICS.

Railway Age
In a paper on the helpful work of the
railroad branch of the Young Mems
Christian association, Mr.. G. NJ Hobbs,
purchasing agent of the Denver and Rio
Grande railway, says;
A feature OF the railway exhibit at the
Worlds fair Is collection of annual
passes issued to the late Mr.. Jay Gould.
One hundred of these passes are signed
by the managers Of railway companies.
A writing expert recently examined these
signatures and noted the following char
acteristics: l. None of those managers
who reioiced In two christian names had
parted his signature in the middle. :,
With very few exceptions they used only
the initials Of their first names y. There
was a singular absence In all their sig
natures Of what IS known as 'rubrlc' or
lionrish This is pointed suggestion of
the marked business characteristics OF
the suecessful railway managers OF our
country today-simplicity of character;
economy of effort: detiniteness OF pur-
nose: directness of method. A work
which commends itself to euch men must
possess like characteristics. The Young
Mems Christian association is animated
by a noble purpose and inspired by
lofty spirit. and with wise methods tho
growth and development OF the railroad
branch Of its work should be common
smrate with every other feature when
pertains to railroad interests.

WANT CLEVELAND As A WITNESS.
A Novel Course Taken by California

SAN FRAScrsco, Nov 21.--Attorney Mon
teith is preparing some affldayits. 10 be
filed tomorrow. in the case of one OF the
strikers now on trial for obstructing the
mails and interfering with interstate COM
merce. 1t is his purpose to make every
effort possible TO summon TO this city, as
witnesses in the cases now pending, Presi-
dent Cleveland aud the managers of the
principal eastern railroads which were in
any way involved in the big strike. If the
application of the defense for these DIS
,inguishesi witnesses be refused. the mat
ter Will be taken TO the supreme court OF
the United States for final adjudication.
Monteith. speaking of the case, said;
I'VE hold that the president OF the
United States and the managers OF the
Eastern roads were technically guilty of
obstructing the United States mails when
they put forth the presidential and mana
gerlal proclamation concerning the strike.
We want 10 find out why that proclama-
ton was made. and on that point Mr..
CievelanRs testimony Is essential. DO
not believe there is any Law by which he
can claim exemption from coming and tes-
tifying as q witness. The matter will be
decided by District Judge Morrow to-
morrow"
