But all this does not excuse the risk
of injury to the eyes incurred by the
continual obscurity Of the sight caused
by wearing the fanciful fabrics now in

YOUNGEST CONDUCTOR.


Thirteen. Year-Oid John Barnum Runs I
Train in Oregon.
John c. Barnum is the youngest rail
road conductor in the world. lie il
thirteen years old. lie was born in
New York. but has resided in Oregon
for the past nine years. His home is
in Medford, Jackson county, on the
Southern Pacific. On January 20, 1898,
his father leased the Rogue River Val.
ley railroad, which runs from Mcdfcrd
to jacksonville, a distance of five miles,
and as its revenues are light he took
charge Of the engine and placed his son
ron, the train rs conductor. lie wears
she conventional cap and uniform. with
lettered brass buttons, and carries q
punch.
Conductor Barnum likes his work,
and says that he gets along nicely ex-
cept with some of the very smart
drummers. who are often on his train,
and who guy him about his inability
10 handle their heavy baggage. He
had an amusing experience with a big
fellow not long ago. but came out
ahead and earned the hearty applause
of trainload OF people. The big fell
low thought it would be smart to play
trick on the little conductor before
the crowd. and when called on for his
fare said he had lost his ticket and
was out of money.
Johnny knew better. but told the
smart party that he must pay his fare
or get off. This was sneered at, and
the conductor passed on, while his
would-be deadhcad snickered over the
joke. Soon afterward the conductor
slipped up behind the fellow, seized
his hat and put it in the express chest
In the baggage compartment, calmly
locking the chest The big drummer
followed him and demanded the hat,
but was quietly informed that it would
be held until he paid his fare. Before
the train reached its destination the
fare was paid and the hat surrendered
to its owner, who sneaked away amid
the jceis of the crowd. Nr
He fills mis- position with a dignity
and precision beyond his diminutivc
proportions. and, as the danger on this
road from collision is confined to an
occasional brush with the hind quar-
tiers of COW. our little conductors re-
sponsibilities are not more exacting
than his abilities.

THE JERSEY DEADLOCK.
Senator Miller Refuses to Longer Act
with the Democratic Body.

TRENTON. n. j.. Feb. 26.-The first
break from the Democratic Senate came
tonight when Senator Miller OF Cape May.
made a speech denouncing the deadlock and
declaring his intention TO have nothing more

been called TO order and Senator Adrian
was I'm the chair. Seven were present.
Senator Miller arose TO question OF priv
ilege, saying that In what he had TO say

the past few days he did not care TO In

OF the newspapers in the last two or thee
days has been To try and mold popular
sentiment I'm favor or the Democratic
party, but the result has been just tire
opposite. Senator Miller went on to say
that he and others who had Joined in the
Democratic organization had but one mo-
tive and incentive. and that was not 10

with his constituents and with nearly al
the citizens or the state, so long as "a WAS

men. He felt certain that that was tho
controlling power. therefore, after due de-
liberation, he had positively concluded that
he would not be a party 10 any such Or
ganization. IL the Republicans would come
into this chamber he would vote TO seat
their Senator's His own colleagues had ac-
knowledged TO him that that would be only
right. He was not a lawyer. knew nothing
about the law and wanted 10 know moth

diSrespect TO the court. his own opinion was
that the quo warranto proceedings were
only a farce He did not propose TO go
into the Republican Senate nor make him
self any more conspicuous than was neces-
sary. but before he would see the Repub-
licans adjourn sine die he would invite
them into this chamber and assure them
of his support.
Mr.. Miller was severely denounced by
Senator Htnchliffe. who told him that he
deserved many OF the things that had been
said about him. and that his conscience
troubled him and caused him 20 do what
he had done He said some OF the rest of
them might feel the same way. but they did
not want To parade their troubles before
