LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
How He Acts in the Cab of an En-
gine Drawing Fast Train.

How He Acts in the Cab of an En-
gine Drawing a Fast Train.
The locomotive engineer is remark
ably placid fellow, with a habit of de-
liberate precision in his look and mo-
lions. He occasionally turns a calm
eye to his gauge and then resumes his
quiet watch ahead. The three levers
which he has to manipulate are under
his hand for instant use, ard when they
are used it is quietly and in order, as
an organist pulls out his stops. The
noise in the cab makes conversation
difficult, but not SO bad as that heard
in the car when passing another train,
with or without the windows open, and
in looking out of the engine cab the OBJ
jects are approached gradually, not
rushed past as when one looks literally
out of parlor car window. The fact
is that the engineer does not look at the
! side-he is looking ahead and therefore
the speed seems less, as the objects are
approached gradually.
Those who have ridden at ninety
miles an hour on a locomotive know
that on good road (and there are many
such) the engine is not shaken and
swayed in a terrific manner, but is rath-
er comfortable, and the speed is not
so apparent as when one is riding in
a parlor car, where only lateral view
is had. The engineer can be very COM
| Portable if he is quite sure of the track
ahead, and it is only in rounding curves
or in approaching crossings that he
/ feels nervous, and it is doubtful if it is
! any more strain to run a locomotive at
I high speed than to ride a bicycle
through crowded thoroughfares. Judg-
| ing by the countenances of the bicycle
rider and the engineer, the engineer has
rather the best of it.-Railroad Ga
J Zette.

Locked up in the San Jose prison on
a charge OF being drunk is Joseph Mo-
rallies, the son of Spanish nobleman.
Morales is an accomplished vocalist
and renders the most difficult operas.
The singer has seen better days, but is
now a perfect wreck. In speaking of
his life Morales stated that his father
was Spanish nobleman. now deceased.
MY mother was favorite singer in
the grand opera at Genoa, and the
nobleman hearing her sing fell in love
with her voice and beauty, refused to
listen to the threats and warnings of
his father and mother, and married the
singer. Before I was 20 was singing
at the grand opera at Genoa. You
would not believe it, but the day was
when Patti would not have treated me
and my voice with contempt. Listen"
Morales broke forth with a song from
Norma" so sweet that many persons
in the city hall hocked into the corridor
of the drunk cell to listen. 1t was in
deed a rare voice.

A slender little old man with horny
hands and grimy face dropped into seat
on Market street car last night, set his
lunch basket between his feet, mopped the
perspiration off his face with ragged
bandanna handkerchief and leaned back,
exhausted from his days work. Suddenly
he started, clasped both hands over his
heart and groared. Several passengers
looked at him curiously. He was evidently
suffering intensely.

next to him.
"Oh, oh, it's my HEARTH he groaned.
His face was contortcd with the agony
he suffered, and he writhed and moaned
piteously.

shouted an alarmed passenger.
The passengers crowded about the suf-
ferer.
''Stand back and give him airl'' yelled
the conductor. Stand back''
''Oh-h-h-ugh!"
The mans groan ended in shrek of
agony.
'tLet me see what 1 can do for him, I"
remarked a stranger. ''I'm a physician"
The crowd gave way. The sufferer slip
ped from the seat to the floor of the car
and lay there writhing and groaning.
"Oh, it's my heart Oh-h-h!'
The physician stopped over and COM
menced to loosen the sufferers clothing.
''Shall 1 ring for an ambulanceP'' in

'No. You'd better turn in an alarm of

MADE A GOOD BARGAIN.
How a California Proprietor Got q Big
Price for a Mine.

How a California Prospector Got Big
Price for Mine.
San Francisco Post: 1T is the easiest
thing on earth to sell a mine in London
for almost any price, provided you have
anything to show an expert" said
Major Frank Mclaughlin to Post re-
porter. There is also a right way and
wrong way to go about it. Some time
ago went to London to negotiate the
sale of some mining property. OF
course the first thing 1 had to do was to
let capital know what 1 was there for.
Then, when inquiries commenced,
simply said: Gentlemen, 1 have min
ing property for sale. If you mean
business and want to buy send your
expert out to examine the property and
make report Ga it. You will know
then what you are buying
"a company was organized. An ex-
pert examined the property and re-
ported favorably and a meeting was
held to discuss terms.
Now, Major said the spokesman,
we have found that the property may
be worth something. What is your
price?'
1.-TWO hundred and fifty thousand
said I.
That is more than we expected to
pay We expected to pay about $780,
000 There is not much difference be-
tween 100000 and s25o,O If you
will drop the fifty we will take it,
4 had expected to get about 100000
for the property, SO with show of re-
luctance I agreed to accept their offer.
When the papers were made out I was
surprised to learn that they had been
talking about pounds and I about dol
lars, but I was very careful not to let
my surprise leak, and that is the way
I got $1,000 900 for the mine. Great
people to do business with"

He Outset the Mule.

AS the road turned around the hill
came upon mule and a cart and man.
TIE wheels of the cart had sunk down in
to d mudhole, and the mule stood with
head down and ears lazily working to and
fro. AS for the man, he lay on his back
in the shade of tree and seemed to be
taking solid comfort
''Whats the matter?'' I asked as he sat
up and looked at me.
"Mewl has baked" he slowly replied.
"You mean that he has refused to pull
the cart out of the mud?"
&C 'Zactly.''
"But it's big load and small mule, !"
urged. "Why don't you give him some
help?''
Its agin my principles. I've yelled at
him and I've licked him till m tired, but
I'll be doggoned if take anything off that
load or boost that cart! No, sab; we stay
right yere till the peslzy critter gifts up and
humps hisself and pulls that cart out O.

''Then you are not in a hurryP' que

''No, sab, no hurry tall" he replied as
he hitched back to get more shade. my

the ole woman is fixin up the fences, and
I've gallon of whisky and pound of
terbacker in the cart. It's question of
bein sot, and if can s stay sot longer n a
$50 mewl then I'd better move out Of Ala
bamy."
Five days later met the man at Green
vile and asked him how the "sotness'
oame out.
ooh, yes" he replied, with grin.

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1895-01-10

Upon both occasions public sentiment
was crystallized through the medium of a
committee of seventy, the main purpose
in 1872 being to overthrow the Tweed
regime, and in 1894 to correct abuses,
known or suspected, in the police and 9TH
er departments of the city government.
The exposure of the practice of levying
blackmail by the police, particularly upon
the criminal classes Of society, who, in
consideration of their payments of money,
were granted immunity from arrest, was
primarily the work of the Society for the
Prevention of Vice, which procured the
appointment of the State Senate Commit
tee which has become famous under the
name of its Chairman, Mr.. Lexow.
Without an enlargement of the powers
of the Mayor, it is argued, says a CORES
pondent Mr.. Strong, whatever may be
his disposition, is as helpless to combat
corruption in the departments as his
predecessors in Office have been. 1t is
proposed to enact law giving the Mayor
power of removal over heads of bureaus
and an absolute control of the police de-
partment. Under the present system,
while the Mayor appoints members Of
the police board and other department
chiefs, he may not remove them except
through processes that practically amount
to a deprivation of the power. The franz
ing of new laws touching these points
promises to be as important work as any
that is likely to come before the State
Legislature and to bring out as many
conflicting theories.
