RAILROAD CIRCLES.
Curious and Original Testimonial
to General Supt. A. j. Hit.
1 BIG AUTOGRAPHED DESIGN

Representing the Life of the Popular
Railroad OmeiaI Presented by En-
pIOyes-Other Railroad News.
A beautiful colored Autograph testi-
monial, hung in heavy hand carved oak
frame, prepared at a cost of $30e, was
yesterday received by General Superin-
tendent A. ]. Hit of the Rock:Island in
Chicago.
The testimonial was an expression of
satisfaction for his promotion to the posi-
ton of general superintendent from the
employees of the road west Of the Mis-
souri, river devised by Mr. o. A Pier,
formerly Mr. Hits chief clerk, and
shipped by him from Topeka the after
noon before.
Mr.. Hit is a railroad official who CON-
menced his career years ago as freight
brakeman, and advanced step by step
through the different stages of the oper-
ating department to one of the most
important positions in the gift of the
road. The fact that he constantly in
terested himself in each mans work,
accounts for his extreme popularity
among the railroad man with whom he
was associated
Q AT the time of his promotion on Aug.
10, 1895, the employees over whom he had
charge desired to present him collec-
lively with token of their good will,
and the plan of testimonial was thought
of and proposed by B1r. Pier. It met
with general satisfaction and was de-
cided on.
Since that time until the day of its
shipment it was in preparation. and is an
illustration of the state of perfection
which modern art has reached.
The center of the card bears a splen-
did sem blance of Mr.. Hit, aud at the
top appears the word Testimonial" In
the upper right hand corner is a picture
OF Mr.. Hit at his desk; in the left hand
corner a lantern and conductors punch
Immediately under the likeness is the
following inscription: From the en-
ployes of the Great Rock Island Route
lines west of the Missouri river to An
drew jackson Hit on the occasion of
his promotion to the position of general
superintendent of the system as token
of respect and esteem for a co-laborer
who has risen from the rabk ks"
Below the inscription is a landscape
view of one of the mountain routes of
the road To the left of this appears the
house in which Mr.. Hit was born; to the
right picture of hay field and young
man with bundle under his arm walk
ing towards the setting sun, illustrating
the first step in Mr.. Hits personal ca
reer. While at work one day in the hay
field at the home farm, he had a dis
agreement with his father and left
home. He packed his clothes
in a bundle, aud started out
and few days later secured position
on railroad
In the lower corners of the card are
pictures illustrating the daily occupa-
tions of brakeman in handling brakes
and coupling cars
To the left and right respectively, i'm
mediately under the last line of the in
scription is printed "Ad Astra Per As
pera" and august Is, 1895"
The whole completes a unique and
original design.

4 Whaler's Little Girl Born ON Herschss
Island, Arctic Ocean.

4 Wha1er's Little Girl Born ON Herschel
Island, Arctic Ocean.
One thousand miles is not considered
great distance nowadays under any
circumstance, so when Capt. Sherman,
of the whaling steamer Beluga, an
bounced on his arrival at San Francisco
recently that daughter had been born
to him within that distance of the north
pole the news caused considerable OF
a sensation in marine circles there. 1t
would be an item worth mentioning if
the baby was born of native parents in
such far-north part of the world. In
all likelihood a baby never saw the
light of day on Herschel island before.
1t is barren spot in the Arctic ocean.
The island lies about north of the boun-
dairy line between the extreme northern
portion of British North America 1t is
considered far northern trip for tour
lists to visit Sitka, but from Sitka YES
sells must go thousands of miles to
reach Herschel island. They go
through the passes between the Aleu-
tian islands, on through Behring sea,
and then skirt the coast of the northern
side of Alaska for hundreds of miles,
cutting through the ice of the Arctic
ocean most of the way if it be any sea-
son other than midsummer. Capt.
Sherman and his wife had passed one
summer at Herschel island, and Mrs.
Sherman was quite used to the mid
night sun Of the summers and the long
kness of the winter as well. There
was great to-do about the birth of the
ba y. There were four women at
Herschel island to idolize the little one.
They were the wife of Capt. Green OF
the Alexander, the wife Of Capt. W. F
Porter of the J. H. Freeman, the wife
of Capt. Weeks of the Thrasher, and the
wife of Capt. John Cook of the steamer
Navarch. The whalers, most of whom
had been away from home for more
than eighteen months when the baby
was born, were greatly interested in the
event, and sent many presents to the
happy mother. There happened to be
clergyman of the Church of England at
the camp. He had been sent to that
odd corner of the globe as missionary.
his name being Rev. Mr.. Stringer. With
all the formality that was possible on
the barren island he christened the
infant Helen Herschel Sherman. At
first there was some discussion concern
ing the nativity of the Little stranger.
Herschel island does not appear to have
been claimed very vigorously by any
government. 1t is more nearly north
of British territory than American, but
it is reported that an American arctic
exploration party raised the American
flag there some years ago. OF course,
since the new woman is carrying every
thing her own way, it is important to
know whether girl born on Herschel
island is an American or not. This was
settled, however, by Rev. Mr.. Stringer,
who held to the belief that a child of
American parents, even though born
abroad, was an American just the same.

along the river bluff above
