FLED FROM SKAGGS.

New York Sun.
 Advices from the city of Birmingham, Ala. describe most of the inhabitants as camped out in tents in the outskirts. They have fled from Skaggs. Skaggs. who is well known to the medical profession on account of having eighty three lungs, has been practicing his great populist speech. Rube Kolb heard him distinctly at the Fifth Avenue hotel week before last. Skaggs begins to practice in his nightshirt, and his volume of sound is tremendous before the bathtub is half full. Skaggs works at his voice between meals, during meals, after meals. Not a window in the hotel that is honored by his presence but is smashed. Not window in all Birmingham, for that matter. The hotel keeper is raving maniac. Three cham bermaids have died of fright, and Publicola Cobb, the porter, has gone deaf, Yet Skaggs colitnues in the paths Of sorority, using his hat for a sounding board as we'll as speaking trumpet. Far off in the inaccessible hills the people of Birmingham quail and cover, knowing not how soon the impicable larynx of Skaggs will break the face of heaven and make all the winds thereof go out of business. The chimneys of industry puff not, but Sksggs puffs. The wheels of industry move not, but Skagg's merrily spins. Those empty houses, those silent streets are dominate and possessed by one unsparing and perpetual voice, the voice of Skaggs, rehearsing the Skaggsaid. Lonely, but never in better voice. Skaggs stays and shouts in Birmingham. The colored citi- Zens throughout the state believe that the day of doom has come.
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-07-05
THE PULLMAN EvoLUuoN.

The Pullman strike has directed atten- tion to George NJ. Pullman and his town, a few miles south of Chicago. MT. Pullman is native of New York State aud cabi- net maker by trade. Same thirty years ago he moved to Chicago aud made money by contracting for the removal of build ings. On night journey he was lm- pressed with the need for good sleeping cars and put his wits to work on their inn provement. The result was eventually the evolution of the Pullman Palace car. The idea that one corporation should own and operate cars over the different railway sys- tens was novel, and many predicted it's failure, because they said tho railroad would own and operate it's own seepers. People did not grasp the idea of contin- uous long runs over different roads. The advantage of one service without change over different railway systems and over q wide territory is now conceded by all trav' elers.
 The Pullman Company does not pay the railroad for the privilege of running over it's line, as many suppose, but the railroad pays the Pallman Company or 5 cents a mile for the privilege of running the sleep CTS. The railroads do this to induce travel,
 
 line does the road find it necessary to run a sleeper.
 The Pullman Company has about 5000 cars in operation, and has l5, 0l0 employes, The town of Pullman is called model town. The great factories for building and repairing the cars are located there. The company owns the houses and rents them to it's operatives. The churches, library and all public convenienees arc rented to the people. The company owns every thing. 1t was only in this way that the disorderly element could be kept out. II an employe desires to own his own home he must buy it outside the town. It may be added that one of the com plaints against the Pullman Company by the workingmeD is the high rents and large water and light charges that they are compelled to pay.
