The Garbage Contract.

Garbage Contractor d. S. Burns
says he will begin his work June
lst, using for a while, same garbage
force as now used by the city, until
the arrival Of his carts and mules.
He did not know what his regular
force would eventually amount to,
or what he would pay the men.
1t is stated by others, in a posi-
ton to know, however, that the
wages will be very low, $2Oa month
per man. At this price only single
men can possibly live, with about
one married man, at about $50 per
month, at the pit, to burn the
garbage.
Where the garbage will be dis
posed OF is not known. Mr.. Burns
has an old lime kiln near the head
Of the river, on the rock quarry
road, and it may be that he in
tends to dispose Of it there,
but the neighbors around there
will seriously object, and say they
will seek protection in the courts
from such an impending nuisance.
A careful compilation Of the
number OF people dependent for a
livelihood upon the old system Of
garbage removal shows a total OF
l33Swho will be ousted. OF this
number 20 were the men who did
the work with their carts, and the
remainder represents their fami-
lies.

ONLY LIBRARY IN THE WAR.
How GnOd Books Saved Regiment
From Gambling in Camp.

The only regiment in the service during
the war that had library the nine
teenth Ohio infantry. Senator Henderson
of Nebraska, VINO commanded the reg1-
ment. has written to Milton S. Lyle of
Huntingdon, Pa. history of that unique
literary collection A volume belonging to
this library fell into Mr.. Lytle's hands dur
ing the Atlanta campaign of 1s64. The
books became scattered. and, it Is believed
lost. except the one which Mr.. Lyle les
cued and preserved and brought home
with him. This book is copy of Millions
poems, and has upon the inside of the
cover label, which reads: Library OF
the Nineteenth Ohio V. L., No. DC
The following is Senator Henderson
letter giving the history of the library: II
never knew of any other regiment IN the
army that had anything that approached
library for the Use of the men OF the
command, and the way the regimental
library, so called, of the nineteenth Ohio
infantry came into existence was this:
When 1 was i'll command of the regiment
found great difficulty in stopping gambling
among the men, and no amount of pun
ishment seemed to bring about the result
desired.
I'VE had an excellent chaplain, John B.
Smith, who came 10 one day ana SAID
he believed he could help me break Up
gambling, and I asked him how. He said:
If l had pair. of horses or mules,
light wagon and a large tent, and was per-
mitted to move ahead with the troops and
not with the transportation train and had
the money to buy books. subscribe for
periodicals and purchase sets of checkers
and chess, l could move with it, and have
my tent in position for the of the men
at their camping place.
81 said to the chaplain: The idea is an
excellent one. and l will make application
for the use of a pair of mules, a light
wagon and large hospital tent, for the
purpose named 1 made the application,
which was favorably received by Gen.
Rosecrans, commanding the army, and
procured the wagon, mules and tent. The
officers of the regiment then subscribed
several hundred dollars. the exact amount
I have forgotten, and with 1t we bought
books and subscribed for periodicals
From that time on, until the activities Of
the Atlanta campaign forbade it, Chaplain
Smith moved with the command and
would put up his tent. with conveniences
for the men to write their letters. play
| chess. backgammon and checkers and read
| the periodicals and books that were car
/ ried along, which were also sometimes
loaned to them to read in their tents.
1T an admirable affair and unques-
tionably the book that you found is one Of
that library. What became of the books
finally I do not know. Being wounded on
the I'd day Of September, 1864, I lost all
track of the matter. but do know that
the exigencfes of the campaign had de-
prived us of the Of the tent some time

USE OF DRY GOODS.
An Increased Consumption Now as
Compared With Former Years.

An Increased Consumption Now as
Compared With Former Years.
From the n. Y. Price Current.
1t should be remembered that sixty years
ago the market for dry goods, taking the
words in large sense. was much less ex-
tensive than at present A great deal of
linen, cotton and wooden cloth was made
in families, and mems clothing was largely
prepared by domestic seamstresses. Home
spun was still much worn. Men and boys
who were not afflicted with rheumatism
did not wear undershirts and drawers,
and the corresponding garments were not
used by the other sex till after 1925 Car
pets were unknown among the poor eighty
years ago, even in the rustic form of those
made of rags. 1t was after this date that
a parishioner of DR.. Lyman Beecher, see
ing neat and gay rag carpet in the par
sons house, inquired solemnly if he
thought he could have all this and heaven
too? Ingram and Brussels came into use
among the middle and lower classes il
cities about 1850, and in the country ten OF
fifteen years later. Cotton goods were very
ing ever since, as the facilities of manu-
facture have improved. Ready-made
clothing fifty years after the Declare
ton of Independence was only to be found
in seaports or in those places where there
was likely to be at any time an influx OF
backwoodsmen, boatmen or miners. The
stores then Familiarity known
'slop shops and the garments made very
little pretense to fitting. Countless varie-
ties Of cloth and multitude of accessories
IN the dry goods trade have come up with
in the half century. BEFORE that the sup
ply was sCanty. Men and women in society
in Jefferson's time were well dressed:
their velvets, their lace. their satins and
their gloves would compare with those Of
TODAY. or were even finer. but the great
mass of the people had few varieties of
material to choose from, and made no
pretense of following the fashions. They
could not. %.

Limited Trains Don't Pay.

L1mttcu trains Don't ray
1.-THE further I'VE so west the slower the
train service becomes, a thing not looked
for on account of the miles and miles of
track traversing prairie land. The Bur-
lington roads best train averages about
thirty-six mles7an hour. That on the Mill
waukee road, the limited, can only reach
ar average of thirty-four miles an hour
The Denver limited, on the Northwestern
road, has to hustle tc score ar average
gait of twenty-nine miles an hour
Very few of the fast limited trains in
this country pay for the expense of run
ming them, and it Is open secret that
the limited between this city and New
York the limited between New York and
Chicago and the empire state express be-
tween New York and Buffalo and the Chi
cago limited on the New York Central
road cost their respective roads good
deal more than they bring in; but they are
great advertisers for theii respective roads.
1.-THE advantages of fast train service on
wel-buiIt and well-cluipped railroads are
not confined to the carrying of passengers
swiftly from one point to another. They
are felt all through the operating depart
ment of road. and exercise an important
disciplinary influence. The running of such
extraordinary fast trains as the congress
sional limited and the empire state express
has had a wonderful effect in increasing
the vigilance and efficiency of all the train
hands. The schedules on which such trains
run require the most arbitrary enforce
all along the line traversed constantly on
the alert. Each man is made to feel his
full share of the burden of responsibility,
and the never-ceasing admonition to
watch for the flier reduces to minimum
personal incliHatons to be slack or neglect
full. The telegraph operator have sus-
pension of thirty days staring them in the
face for the slightest delay to the limited,
and similar penalties are imposed on other
employees.
Besides this stimulus to duty, the fast
trains serve as an incentive to the men to
strive for promotion. Conductors, en-
gineers, fremen and other hands on the
limited get more pay than do the men en-
ployed on the trains of subordinate grade.
That the 'h.er.' in it's generic sense, is
actually an improving influence in rail-
reading is evidenced by the remarkable
careers of the congressional the royal blue
and the empire state express. These are
the fastest trains in this country. and have
been running several years back, and with
one unimportant exception, have met with
no mishap. These trains pass through
year after year without a single mishap,
and l believe 1t is all from the discipline
put upon the employees by the fast service.
The men take pride in the fast trains"

Strange Incident of the Mails.

From the Boston Herald.
A lady in Boston wrote some letters and
sealed them as is her custom, with a
Moorish coin having tiny hook in its
back. Her correspondents all knew this
peculiar seal and how highly 1t is priced,
frCm its antiquity and the stylish form it
takes in the wax. Called suddenly from
the room these letters were soon after
posted by a servant in the nearest box
and not till then did the owner of the rare
coin miss it from the table. The room vas
searched, and finally the maid dispatched
to await the letter collector on his next
round. But he declared nothing had been
seen of any such seal, and then the search
began indoors again, but with no better
luck A few days after this lady received
a letter from Canada sealed with the ia
milar Moorish hieroglyphics! The .nys:ery
was soon explained. for on opening the
envelope it was learned that this heavy
seal had stuck TO the letter sent from &c g.
ton, and, though passing through 50 many
hands, had arrived intact, to the great as
constituent of the recipient.
