could quell a riot in dining-car with
equal grace. / have seen her come into
an angry crowd Of hobos like pillar OF
fire and have watched the magic effect
OF her not exactly feminine What tlPs
wrong? Its a wonder some o you
wouldn't have the grace tide off, Her
smile would draw crowd and her frown
would make scattering. She was mis-
tress OF any situation she was ever a
part of. Naturally, such associations
will coarsen any character and the
queen has not proven exempt. She is
thoroughly familiar with the hobo
character.-which is an essentially low
and vile one,-- and she perhaps under
stands how to keep up her end OF con-
versation that would not be just the
right thing in a drawing room. But
along with her business ability and pro-
sale practicabilily there is rare sweetness
and purity Of character that is simply
remarkable considering the environms Mt.
The contrast is a strong one and par
ticularly attractive because the type is
SO seldom found in rough, frontier coun
tries, where il is not only so much easier
but SO much more customary for women
to be bad than to be good. The hobo
queen deliberately goes ahead through
whatever OF filth che may meet,-simply
because its business and there's money
in it.-but she never once loses the sim
pie dignity born Of conscious purity and
strength OF character. She likes to read
novels. She enjoys Shakespear. She
talks intelligently on great many sub
jects and has all sorts of sensible ideas
about things. She has executive ability
enough to run county fair if it should
come her way. l used to ask her why

THE HOBO-QUEEN.

road. Her father came from Ireland
direct and so did her mother. whence it
will be seen she is OF Irish parentage
straight. which accounts for the keen
wit and shrewd thriftiness that make
great all Irishmen who are great. But
she wasn't born queen. She lis what
might be styled self made queen-all
except the title which was bestowed
first by hobo and afterwards accepted
as fitting by the whole Of the Black Hills
and the west half OF Nebraska.
The children of a section foreman
grow up at the section house and learn
to help the old folks. The girl learns to
cook for the gang Of workmen and the
boy learns to do railroad work. When
they are grown up the girl marries some
other foremans son and the boy does
the opposite and SO the race Of section
foremen is perpetuated. The queen did
all OF this except getting married. She
learned how to manage the kitchen and
to make money from boarding the labor
ers. Things went from worse to better
with her until the authorities. sensible
Of her ability and giving her added res
possibility each year, finally put her in
charge of a boarding train. A word or
two of the boarding train and the board
ers:-
A boarding train looks very much like
an ordinary string Of freight carson
the outside Inside the doors. however,
things are fearfully and wonderfully
made. Half dozen cars on one end Of
the train are fitted up as boudoirs where
twenty men are snugly packed into
each car on two-story double hunks.
That's human freight with a vengeance,
especially in summertime. Then come
the two kitchen cars filled with steel
ranges and immense boiling cans and
pots, with a sand-oven in one corner
where the hobo chef spends the night
converting barrel or two OF flower into
bread for the next day. Beyond the
kitchen are the dining cars where thirty
men sit at each board land eat every
thing in sight three times before the
sun goes down.
1t was as the presiding genius OF this
sort of hotel on wheels that Maggie
made her reputation and earned her
title. Ii is no small matter to run such
an outfit successfully. There are end
less supplies to look after. crooked cooks
to watch in the kitchen and careless
flunkies in the dining cars. The meals
must be varied and always first class;
there must be an abundance OF fresh
meat and all things else; the men must
be kept satisfied or they will quit and
then the authorities fall heavily upon
the Boarding Block" and make all
kinds Of trouble. There are no gentle
men on such train-they are all hobos
and very marked d egree of skill is
requisite to handle both the stomachs
and the tempers OF 80 railroad men sue
cessfully,-and afterwards to collect toll
for it. A hobo has DO more respect for
a board bill than the rest OF us and so
one must be hawk as well as a manager.
And then there is the commissary where
the men get their tobacco and shoes and
overalls and some other things. One
must be an artful salesman, able to con-
vince hobo that he needs twice as
much as he wants and that the matter
OF fit is of no consequence. Why have
seen Marnie sell a number six hobo q

KNIGHTS OF LABOR ROW.
A Socialist Denounces III. p. Martin as
Tool OF Capitalists.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30-Local Assembly
No. 1868, knights of Labor, was tried Sun
day by H. /. Martin and Charles A.
French, of the national executive board OF
the order, on charges of disloyalry in fail
ing to push a boycott ordered by the Cen
eral Assembly. Daniel De Leon is the
leading spirit of the local assembly. 1t
leaked out to-day that the proceedings
were sensational. De Leon objected to the
trial, claiming that a majority of the
executive board should be present to try
a local assembly on such charge. His
protest was promptly overruled. Then De
Leon, much excited, pointed his finger at
Martin and cried: Il charge you with be-
ing traitor. You are paid tool OF the
capitalists. You are working with trade
unionists who are trying to break up this
order because II is founded on the princi-
pies of socialism. You bring up these
out of the General Assembly because you
know they will oppose Mr. Sovereign and
other tools of capitalists. The order of
the knights OF Labor is bankrupt and the
silver barons are paying Mr.. Sovereign s
expenses as well as yours. l have accumu-
lated heaps of documentary evidence to
prove this assertion, and 1 shall submit ii
to the General Assembly, which will adj
nit us. the Socialists in spite OF your con-
spiracy."
witnesses then testified on behalf of De
Icons local assembly When the wit
nesses concluded Mr.. French said there
was nothing in the case," and moved
that the charges against the Socialists be
dismissed. Martin sustained the charges.
Delegates of the brewers assembly
through whom the story of the trial leaked
out. said that they feared all the Socialists
would leave the order, and that 1t would
consequently break up. 1t is said that the
10000 Socialists are paying the expenses
that IL these refuse to pay the taxes for
expenses there will be nobody left TO pay
them. The socialistic assemblies are To-
Gated principally in New York, Brooklyn,

QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
Chinese Born I'm America Not Per-
mitted to Land ut San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. So.-The question
as to whether Chinaman born on Ameri-
can soil is citizen Of the United States
is to be tested in the courts. Wong Kim
Ark came here recently from China, de-
manding a landing on the ground that he
is native of California. The collector of
the port, while admitting his nativity, re-
fused him landing, claiming he is not an
American citizen. This decision was in ac-
cordance with an agreement already made
with the Attorney-general, who Is anxious
to test the right of natiye-born Chinese 10
land here. According 70 the contention of
the government, a person born in the
United States must not at the time OF his
birth be subject to any foreign power thus
making 1t Indispensable to citizenship by
birth that the parent be an American citi-
zen. for If the father be alien the child will
be subject to the country OF the sire. In
other words to be an American citizen By
birth one must be born in America and of
American parents. III this contention of the
government is upheld, the standing Of all
people born in the United States of alien
parents will be greatly affected. II the de-
cision in the local court Is not favorable
TO the government. the case will be taken
to the United States Court.

that the President makes the announce
ment that the country is thus to lose from
the command OF its army this distinguished
general. who has done so much for its
honor and efficiency. His gallantry In war

WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.--The treasury
officials exceeded even their own expecta-
tions to-day in their report of the alleged
condition of the governments finances In
stead of surplus of about 100000 for the
month. the excess of receipts over ex-
penditures for the month is s3,175, ,040 TO-
of being reduced to between s11,0o0,0OO and
sl2,ooo.o0o. is scaled to ss,ssS.S14Os. 1t will
be better understood how such astonishing
figures can be obtained when it is noted
that to-day's expenditures for pensions
was si,S2s31 which indicates how useful
Pension Commissioners Lochren's policy of
holding up pensions can be to assist the
treasury in bo,stering up its figures. The
department will issue tomorrow an official
statement setting forth its achievements
for the month. This apparent plethora in
the treasury is all the more absurd when
the figures for the months business are
studied. AS a matter of fact, the month of
September. instead of being so satisfactory
as the treasury statements would indicate,
has, On the contrary. been eminently un-
satisfactory. and it has only been by the
most unscrupulous jugglery OF the figures
that these daily surpluses have been made
TO appear. The receipts for September have
not nearly Appropriated the expectations
of the treasury officials They had hoped
that they would certainly equal those OF
July and August and possibly exceed them.
The September receipts, OH the contrary,
have fallen about 100000 below either July
or August The internaI-revenue receipts
are especially disappointing. They are
s1O00,COO below those of July and do not
equal those of August. The Internal Rev.
enue Bureau confesses itself at a loss to
account for the slender receipts from wfis-
ky. In spite of the fact that the tax under
the new law is 20 cents a gallon higher
than it was under the Mckinley law, the
receipts from whisky do not come up to the
old figures.
AS to-day marks the close of the first
quarter of the fiscal year, some specula-
tions as to the probable deficit for the year
have been made. The receipts for the
quarter have been $S5,OOO.0CO. in round num-
bers, and the expenditures have been $780,
0O0.CO0. At this rate, the receipts for the
year would be about $34ooO0,oO0. which
would mean deficit of about $40. 900 for
the year.
