made possible by tips to porters.
The company pays porter about
SIS month, while conductors and
other employees receive $50 or $75.
The porters are indispensable en-
ployes on car and could never be
secured for the small pay of $15
were it not for tips, which run
their receipts up to over $40 a
month. The salaries Of the porters
are therefore voluntarily paid by
the travelling public, and other
wise the $40 a month would come
from the income of the Pullman
company and make a big hole in
the earnings. Were tips abolished,
the railroad men argue, each por-
ter would cost the company about
$50 more per month than he does
now. Figured up, two porters to
car for 5000 cars-the number
said to be in use-the additional
expense to the Pullman company
would be 100000 per month.

loose from political party ties, and
eject such men to office as will best

be no such disgraceful judges on

The proposed retirement OF Sir
William Van Horne, president of
the Canadian Pacific, as announced
by himself, does not create much
surprise in American railroad and
financial circles. Sir William,
who is an American. Englishmau,
has been contemplating withdraw
al for sometime, and the report
that he was to become identified
with the Joint Traffic association
is denied by his friends. Just
what he proposes to do Is yet I'M
known, although there is talk that
he will resume his former resi-
dence this side of the Canadian
border. He is wealthy, and there
IL some doubt as to who his success
sor will be. Traffic Manager Odds,
OF the same company, retires the
first OF the year.

are to be made with the pump SO that
in case of stoppage Of the intake pipe
in any way, by anchorage ice or other

cock supply of water may be had at

one, and one which will greatly protect

When to Stop.
GERTRUDE BOOTHE, Sec.

How few people know when to stop.
If the preacher knew when to stop
preaching, how much more satisfactory
the result Of his sermons might be. If
the genial fellow knew just when to
stop telling his good stories, how much
more keenly their relish would be. If the
moralizer knew just when to stop NOR
alizing, how much longer would the
flavor of his philosophy endure. If the
friend knew when to keep still, how
grateful mis- silence would be. If the
candid creature who so glibly tells of
our foibles, knew when to Lold his
tongue, how much less strong our i'm
pulse to slap him would be. If the high
liver knew when to stop eating, how
much less dyspepsia there would be.
If the popular guest knew when to
withdraw, how much more regretfully
we should see him go. If the politician
knew when to retire into private life,
how much whittier his record would be-
If we all knew just when to die, and
could OPPORTUNITY bring the event
about, how much truer our epitaphs
would be. The court fool who prayed,
"Oh, God, be merciful to me, a fool J"
prayed deeper than he knew, and the
man who prays, "Oh, Goo, teach me
to know when [ have said enough !"
pr1vs deeper still.

EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION
Half Fare to Chattanooga and Return
Via the Monon Route.

Via the MOnon Route.
On June %, rs and 81, 1895, the
MOnon Route will sell tickets at rate OF
one fare for the round trip from all
points on it's line to Chattanooga and
return on account of the Second Inter
national Conference of the Epworth
League. These rates and tickets will
be open to all. Tickets will be limited
to return fifteen days from date of sale,
but can be extended fifteen days by
depositing with agents of @. & G. or
Nashville & Chattanooga Rvs. before
June 30th.
A choice of routes via Cincinnati, the
Blue Grass Regions of Kentucky and
the mountains of Tennessee, or via
Louisville and the Cave Regions of
Kentucky, with side trips to Mammoth
| Cave at a nominal expense, makes the
Monon Route the most desirable line
between Chicago and Chattanooga,
| Tenn.
The day trains Of the Monon Route,
| both via Louisville and Cincinnati,
carry parlor cars and dining cars, serv-
| ing meals same as at a frst-class cafe.
Patrons can order what they want and
need only pay for what they get.
The evening trains carry luxurious
palace sleeping cars from Chicago to
| Cincinnati or Louisville. The sleeping
car rate from Chicago to the Ohio
river, or from the Ohio river to Cnatta-
nooga, is $500 per berth, whether oc-
cupied by one or two persons.
Parties wishing to view the mountain
scenery of the South should leave Chi
cago on the evening trains, so as to
make the trip from Cincinnati or Louis
vile to Chattanooga by daylight, ar
irving at Chattanooga for supper.
Those wishing to visit Mammoth Cave
should leave Chicago at 1892 p. M, ar
irving at Louisville for breakfast and
at the cave for dinner, remaining at the
cave until next morning, leaving at
o'clock, and arriving at Chattanooga
for supper.
The side trip from Glasgow junction
to Mammoth Cave will cost but $1.25;
hotel bill and cave fees will be very
reasonable. The guides go into the
cave between two and three O'Clock p.
m. and at eight o'clock in the evening,
thus giving those who wish chance to
make two trips in the cave same day.
Further information, with time
tables, maps and pamphlets, will be
furnished on application to any agent
Of the MOnon Route, or by addressing
Frank J. Reed, General Passenger
Agent, Chicago, or M. Hunter Coml.

Frog Legs Are Now in Season.
milwaukee Sentinel.

The season for frog legs, which be
gins with the breaking up Of winter,
and lasts until the ground freezes
again, is now at it's height. An east
side game and fish dealer stated yes
terday that he sold about 100 pounds of
the delicacy every day The price is
40 cents a pound, and does not vary
over 10 cents from that figure during
the season, except, perhaps, during the
winter months when there is no direct
supply to draw from and the frog-legs
are drawn from cold-storage ware
houses. Neenah and Menasha are the
principal shipping points for the Mil
waukee market. and some come from
Green Bay. The Milwaukee river and
the small inland lakes afford a supply
of frogs, but these waters are not
worked for the Milwaukee market.

The unequalled demand for Paine's
celery compound among the people of
this state is but an index of the great
good that it is doing
Not only in this vicinity not only in
every eastern state, but everywhere in
the United States.
Paine's celery compound, the wonder
full remedy that makes people WELL is
beyond question the most reliable pro-
duction of modern medical science.
Nobody disputes it,
From the day it was first prescribed
by that most eminent of American
physicians, Professor Edward T..
Phelps, it has been recommended, pre-
scrbed and it's merits extolled by the
ablest of physicians. The best medical
journals have devoted almost unlim-
tied space to the cures it has effected.
The daily press of the large cities has
contained account after account OF re-
markable cases of "health restored by
Paines celery compound"
Some of the most famous men and
women in the country have very re-
Gently authorized the publication Of
their unsolicited testimonials. They or
their physicians have frankly told how,
when all else had failed. Paine's celery
compound made them well.
The Boston Herald has just devoted
page or more to interviews with prom
inent men and women in that city who
have been made well the past year by
Paines celery compound.
