THE NORTHERN PACIFIC ROAD,

Local Notes of Interest CONCERNING

By the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE. June 5.-Edwin H. ABB
bolt. before Master of Chsncery Carey,
oday gave his version OF the famous
Chicago and Northern Pacific deal, up
on which depends Thomas F. Cakes re.
naming receiver of the Northern Pa
cifc. Nothing Of sensational nature
was ELECTED from the witness. Towards
the close of the morning session the dull
and uninteresting proceedings were re-
lieved by the momentary promise OF
q sensation. Mr.. Petit led Mr.. Abbott
up to a point where it appeared he had
been one OF the four men who had made
$500, 900 on an investment of 5000. 600.
Mr.. Abbott quickly offered an explana-
ton, and produced evidence which fur.
nished the sensation. He said
the total issue of the preferred
stock of the Chicago and Great
Western had been So, 500, 900 at 80 cents
on the dollar. OF that amount l,500,-
600 of original stock Messrs. Colby, Alb
bolt, Post and Rust had purchased at 30
cents and turned it in at that figure.
1t was shown by the testimony OF e..
H. Abbott that up to January Is. 1899,
and prior to the organization OF the
Chicago and Northern Pacific company,
the terminals bearing the latter name
had cost over Sill .000,00
How much more they cost before they
were turned ovor to the Northern Pa
cifc company will probably appear in
Mr.. Abbott's testimony tomorroy. Alb
bolt was nearly three hours upon the
stand today, and the direct examina-
ton is not completed.
There were two important points
brought out in the testimony. One was
the fact that Thomas F. Oaks had sub.
scribed for $780, 900 of Chicago and Great
Western railway (the original terminaD
stock in 1885 and gave his note to O. L.
Colby and E. H. Abbott for the amount;
that in April, 1887, Cakes having failed
to pay for his stock, his subscription
was cancelled and his note returned to
him. The other point was the state
ment in detail OF the cost of the termin-
ais up to the time that Colby, Abbott
and Hoyt, trustees for tine subscribers,
turned over the property OF the Chicago
and Great Western company, (January
81, 1880 to the Northern Pacific
company. Mr.. Abbott was one OF
the readiest witnesses which
the plaintiffs in the suit
against Mr.. Cakes have met. He came
into court with nearly hundredweight
Of documents and correspondence, Gov
ering the history OF the terminal deal,
and whatever information was asked for
was promptly furnished. The examina-
ton will probably last several days. 1t
is expected that Mr.. Cakes will be called
when the lawyers get through with Mr..
Abbott.

EvADlN1 THE LAW.

How the Slot Machine Men of New York
Have Outwitted Anthony Comstoclr.
The combined efforts of Anthony Com
stock and the whole police department
are seemingly not very effective against
those little gambling machines which
have been fixtures in nearly every cigar
store and liquor shop in the city for the
last two or three years.
The original scheme was that a man
by putting nickel in slot would start
an indicator spinning around dial. The
point at which it stopped would enable
him to receive one, two, three or more
cigars, but most often the indicator
would stop at blank, which was set at
frequent points on the dial.
The existence of the blank, it seems,
made it gambling device within the
meaning of the law, and the machine
was ordered out Of existence by the po-
lice. Now, however, it appears again,
and there are no blanks on the machine,
which announces on placard promi-
nently placed:
"If you draw no cigar, you are entitled
to package Of our celebrated B. p"
"B. P.,' be it known, is very cheap
candy, modicum of which, worth per-
haps a tenth of cent, is given out in
tiny envelope to the man whose nickel
draws no ciGar.- CIV York Herald.

covered that he mas lost over e100, 900 by
the alleged misappropriation of money
intended to be used for purposes con-
nected with the business. AS he is i'm
mensely wealthy, and as his business is
in a very fourishing condition, even SO
great loss will not materially affect
him. Nevertheless it is curious cir
cumstance that at this date in the nine
tenth century man has succeeded in
building up a vast business and has &C
cumulated large fortune in the center
of London without either he or his wife
being able to read or write.-Londcn

Gus of the London tradesmen Of today

A short time ago letter reached him at
his private residence in the country, and
as he observed that some figures repre-
senting large sum of money occurred
among the writing he had the docu-
ment deciphered. 1t then appeared
that it was letter from another trades
man complaining that his account,
very large one, had not been paid, not
withstanding that repeated requests for
payment had been sent to the business
house in town. Until then he had no
suspicion that his firm owed even a
farthing.

Paris. Poor postofllce Facilities.

Paris has only 65 branch postoffices,
and many of these are so crowded in the
middle of the day that much time is
wasted in getting letter registered or a
money order taken out or cashed.
Stamps indeed can be bought of nearly
all tobacconists, but their postoflice
business is confined to this. The au-
thorities have resolved to try the Eng
.lish plan of appointing shopkeepers as
postmasters, and a beginning has been
made with eight shops in various parta
of the city. If the plan succeeds, it will
be carried out on larger scale.-Lon.

THE TYPEWRlTER'S WORK.
Your Wife May Think She Is Only Orna-
mental, but She Is Not.

Your Wife May Think She Is Only Orna-
mental, but She Is Not.
Few people imagine the amount of la
Dor involved in a days typewriting or
realize the distance the hand travels in
that length of time
The highest rate Of speed ever attain
ed is 200 words minute. This is sup
posed to be the result of the most rapid
movements the human hands are capa-
BILE of. The person making this record
maintained this speed for only four con-
Fecutive minutes and has never been able
to exceed that limit.
Assuming the words averaged six let
tiers apiece 1900 letters minute were
written.
1t is estimated that to make each let
ter the fingers are raised to height of
two inches from tho keyboard. Two
inches added for the descending move
ment make the fingers travel four inches
before each letter is struck. So this ex-
pert's hand in writing these 900 words
Travelled 4, 500 inches, 400 feet during
the minute in which she wrote the 200
words.
But this is unusual, of course. Very
rapid writing is speed Of 70 words a
minute, and this rate is too fast for COM
fort. Practical work is 10 pages of legal
paper an hour. Each page contains 300
words.
Six hours steady writing can be re-
garded as an entire days work. This is
a speed of 30 words minute, and the
practical worker writes during the day
60 pages-1S, 900 words, or 108, 900 let
ters.
If her fingers travel four inches to
make each letter, during the day they
travel 432, 900 inches.
This provides for the perpendicular
movement only, and it is fair to increase
this distance by one-third to estimate
the distance the hands travel over the
keyboard in horizontal direction.
The total sum in inches is 5000.
This is equivalent to 5000 feet, or
little over nine miles day.
In week the hands can cover %
miles; in q years steady application to
business over 2, 800 miles. -Bookkeeper.

A Daring Trick.

Zone of the most daring tricks l ever
came across, said H. F. Farrell, New
York attorney, was in the case of a
man who deliberately impersonated
lawyers clerk and persuaded a very sicK
man to sign a will without reading it,
and which disposed OF his property In
direct opposition to his wishes 1t was
a case of a family dispute, and the old
gentleman, who was quite wealthy, had
decided to disinherit his eldest son and
leave the property to a younger one.
Being warned by his doctor that he had
only day or two more to live he sent
instructions to his attorney to draft his
will and send it down promptly for sig
nature.
while the lawyer was preparing the
document representative of the eldest
son arrived with paper, which he said
was the will prepared by the sick mans
attorney. The will was signed without
hesitation and duly witnessed, and wher
two hours later the lawyers clerk ar
rived with the genuine will he was not
allowed to enter the house, being warned
cfe the premises by the housekeeper. Or
his return to the Office his employer saw
at once that fraud had been commit
led, and he hastened to the house to
have it set right. In the meantime,
however, the sick man had become I'M
conscious, and he died without being
able to execute a will after his own
wishes. The bogus will was upset, but
the fraud could never be sufficiently
proved to convict the man suspected of
connecting it, and he inherited quite a
large sum of the money as next of kin. -

The Eslssc3t Nat II ti-a House.

To the casual observer of the house in
session it looks as if Tom Reed, with his
large Shal;espearean head, would be the
owner and wearer Of the largest hat in
the house But it is not SO. That honor
belongs to Pennsylvania and to its Mr..
Phillips. He wears the largest hat in
either side of the capitol and has the
further distinction of being an almost
exact image of Brigham Young. He has
the same heavy type of face as that OF
the great Mormon leader, and people
who knew the latter say the man from
Pennsylvania walks like him too. Phil
