The Confessions of a Railway
Millionaire.
HIS PLUCK AND sHREWD SENSE.
Story of Congressman Haines-An Incl
dent of Frontier Life-Minister Ransom,
the English Lord and the Fierce Black
Bear.


"The Confessions of Millionaire"
would be n very good title for the little
story which l will write of my talk with
Congressman Haines of New York. Mr..
Haines is u famous builder of and specu-
lator in steam and street railways. ut is
odd" he began, chow small thing will
change II mans whole career. My father
was II boot and shoe manufacturer and
had telegraph instrument in his office.
L picked up knowledge of that inStru.
ment almost unconSciously, and it was on
account of this knowledge that got into
the railroad business. AT IA, l was offered
and accepted employment as n telegraph
operator ON the Hudson River railroad.
When | was IS, another lucky chance hap
pcncd me. Jay Gould gave me commits
sion to buy piece of property and l was
so successful in it that he made me general
manager. At % / was president of rail
way company, probably the youngest pres
ident in the country. 1t is II good story
how 1 happened to become president of
this road, and L will tell it,
''In looking about me l conceived the
idea that if a certain railroad, which we
will call the d. and b., were extended ten
miles in order to connect with another
road it would become vastly moro valua-
bic property. The road was owned by n
well known railway magnate, who was cx-
ceedingly difficult to get at. Dcspairing
of securing an interview with him in any
other way, l wrote u letter of introduce
ton for myself and signed it with my own
name. The ruse worked and l obtained
an audience. l told him l had railroad
to sell him, and we talked n long time. l
explained to him the advantages of the
road and how it could be built up by sim
ply extending it ten miles. Every few
minutes he asked me to name tho road,

The Pneu-Nratic Woman.

Among other disasters incident to
bicycle riding may be numbered a
broken engagement. Bones, nay, even
necks, have been smashed in the good
cause of ''scorching," but it remained
for prejudiced young man to break
his troth because his fancee appeared
before him in daisy pair of "bloom-
ers." The costume proved too much
for him, and he ordered the young lady
to dismount at once and retire in good
order to the seclusion of her apartment,
where she should instantly resume her
badge of slavery, skirts, or their in
tended marriage would not take place,
as he drew the line at boomers on
bike. Did this injunction dismay her?
Not bit, for she was ''pneu" woman
in every sense, SO, merely drawing off
her diamond ring, she handed it to the
sensitive young man with the observa-
ton that she should not discard
"bloomers" for him or anyone else.
Friends of both parties say nothing
will ever reconcile them, for which So

MORE than thirty men and women
were murdered in the city of San Fran
cisco in the twelve months ending with
June this year. Several of these were
decided to be cases of justifable homi-
eide, but in twenty-seven cases the cor
oner's jury returned a verdict of willful
murder. For these twenty-seven mur-
ders only four persons have so far been
punished by law, and those four have
escaped with terms of imprisonment.
The rest of She murderers are awaiting
trial, have been acquitted, have es-
capped, or are dead. San Francisco has
the record.

Duties of COngressmcn.

A Massachusetts member of congress
in entire seriousness recounts his own
idea of the duties of one in his position
as follows: "The office of a member of
congress is principally great business
office, looking after river and harbor
improvements for his district, public
buildings, post Office accommodations,
railway mail service, lighthouse and
life-saving services, and to see that
friendly and not hostile tariff legisla-
tion is enacted, to say nothing about
the soldiers and their widows entitled
to pensions, the distribution of seeds
and public documents to which the dis
trict is entitled" Daniel Webster and
Charles Sumner did not exactly pattern
their efforts to achieve usefulness and
attain fame in this way, but the reply
will probably be made that we are not
living in Webster and Sumner times
