BUYING EXPERIENCE.
A Friendly Game Of Euchre In a
ParlOr Car.

p
N Wlk adelphia. Among
the occupants was
A man whom you would take anywhere
for farmer. He had a worn gray
suit. gray chin whiskers, and as line
come-on smile as the prospective VIC
tim of a green goods game ever wore.
He sat by window minding his own
business. Another occupant of the
room was decidedly sporty looking
man. He was tall and heavy, and wore
a.check suit and yellow shoes. He had
a chewed off mustache that added TO
his sporty appearance. A third man IN
the room was short and Insignificant
looking. These three occupied seats
remote from one another.
AS the train started the sporting
man wondered if there were three
others in the car who would like TO
take a hand in friendly game OF
euchre. Nobody responded. He left
his seat, and, picking out the insignin-
cant man, asked:
.Will you join in a friendly gamer
Certainly" said the insignificant
man.
.will you join us?" continued the
sporty man turning to the farmer. .
..By gum will, if 'taint for money,
replied the farmer.
mo money, of course not" said the
sporty man. This is just friendly
game to pass the time away. Won't
Won ioin us?' he added, turning to a
prosperous-looking business man, who
afterward turned out to be the man
who knows it all.
mo. SIR" responded the man who
knew it all.
"How about you?" said the sporty
man to a Young man who didn't look
as il he had travelled much.
.Well, don't mind" assented tn
young man.
Then there was lot of changing OF
seats, and finally near Jenkintown the
party got four seats together. Th'
farmer and the insignificant man were
partners, and the young man who
didn't look as if he had travelled mucl
played with the sporty man.
The game progressed for ten miles o
SO. The farmer was the wisest OF th'
party. Nobody had any particular ad
vantage. The man who knew it al
meanwhile kept up a violent winkinl
at everybody else in the car. and tn
result was that everybody got inter
ested in the game, and somehow every
body caught right onto the idea tina
somehow or other the farmer was &c
ing to lose his money before he GO
out By and by it came the farmer

the University of Michigan for one year,
after which he began the practice of law In

majority. He was elected state senator
in 1879 by majority of 5,137. He declined
denomination on account of professional
duties. He came within five votes of re-

The Michigan Republican Platform

From the Chicago Inter Ocean: To
Michigan belongs the distinction of being the
first State to hold Republican State con-
vention in the year 1895. 1t met on the 2lst
instant TO nominate a candidate for the
Supreme Court bench. The contest was
spirited, without being acrimonious. But
for the country at large the only point of in
terest was the platform, and that contained
only one feature of note. The one new
question brought to the front was this:
What position should be taken on the latest
phase of the financial question? The plank
proposed was opposed by one speaker, but
was adopted almost unanimously. 1t reads
thus:
Resolued, That we indorse the action of
the Republican members of congress from
Michigan in voting against the proposition
to change the word ''coin" to ''gOld" in
bonds issued by the United States govern
ment.
This may be accepted as foreshadowing
of what may be expected from every State
west of the Allegheny Mountains, and it is
very doubtful if a single Republican State
convention even in the far East will put
itself on record as approving Cleveland's
latest bond policy. The indignation over
the Doodle feature is getting more vehement
every day. No disposition is shown to jump
at conclusions as to who is really in the deal
but the spectacle of theUnited States buncoed
out of 5000, 900 by secret contract which
might have been saved by advertising for
bids is enough to make the blood of every
patriotic citizen boil with righteous wrath.
The foregoing language of the Michigan
Republicans is mild, and is likely to be fol-
lowed by words of far more vehemence.

The contest for the Republican nomin.
atior for congressman in the third district is
growing decidedly interesting. The con.
vention to be held at Kalamazoo on the 9th
promises to be lively one. The leading
candidates are Secretary of State Washing
ton Gardner, of Calhoun, DR.. Smith, OF
Eaton, Lieut.-Gov. Mines, of Branch, and
Senator Clapp, Of Calhoun, and the first
ballot will probably show their strength in
the order named. The general sentiment
seems to be that if Gardner is not nominated
dark horse-possibly Prof. King, of Oliyet,
will get the prize.

George w. Murray, Thomas A. Mcintyre,

p. Clews, and Edmund G. Steadmar, con-
shutting the general reorganization COM
mittee, filed a petition in the United States
court today asking to be made parties de-
PENDANT in the case of the farmers Loan &
Trust Company against the Toledo, Ann
Arbor Il North Michigan railroad, asking
leave to intervene an answer in the decree
ordering the sale of the road, and asking
that the decree be annulled or suspended
until they can be heard. They represent
over $500, 600, large majority of the
stock, and the petition Is rather sensational.
They charge w. Quintard, Amos p. Emo,
j. Edward Simons, Robert nj. Galloway,
newly elected to the directory amid stormy
scenes last April, with betraying the trust
reposed in them and with allying themselves
with the reorganization committee which
pronounced the common stock worthless,
which the petitioners contradict.
They attack the validity of the CONSOLE
dated mortgage, as consolidation was
effected without compliance With the Ohio
laws, and aver that the consolidated mort
gage dated 1890 was executed without
authority of the directors or stockholders.
They also charge an over issue of these
bonds, not authorized even by the Mdorse-
ment on their back.
The petitioners futher aver that large
amount of consolidated bonds were diverted
from their lawful purpose, and applied as
collateral security for individual indebted
ness of one or more of the former officers of
the company. The petitioners submitted
the affidavits of Allen Smart, expert account
ant, employed by Barrow, Wade, Guthrie &
Company of New York, who has been ex-
aiming the company's books, and Alvina
Beveridge of New York, whose affidavit
contains certain correspondence signed j. M.
Ashley, Jr., which stamps him as one of the
''former officers" mentioned in the petition.
