A GOOD RIG ON PAGAN.
THE AGGRESSIVE CITY COUNCIL
MEN AT LAST RAN UP AGAINST
SUPERINTENDENT HOLIDAY.


SUPERINTENDENT HOLIDAY. 4
There is a great laugh at the ex-
pense of City Councilman Francis
Pagan now going the rounds. and even
the city father himself has to join in
the hilarity. Mr. Pagan is the council
man who has been most aggressive
against the fast trains of the p. w. &
b. Railroad Company running through
town at an unlawful rate of speed.
AS Councils committee was on its
way up the Delaware road from Mil
ford on Friday morning each member
was introduced to superintendent Hol-
liday at Clayton by Mayor Boyd, who
was also returning from Milford where
he had conducted the inspection Of
Company b. Superintendent Holiday
insisted that the councilmen should
continue their trip over to Easton, Nd,
in his private car.
They had not gone far when Mayor
Boyd apprised Superintendent Holli-
day of the fact that Mr.. Pagan had in
stituted the movement against fast
running through New Castle. This
gave Mr.. Holiday a long-lOoked-for
pleasure. He never let up on the New
Castle city father. When the engineer
got a good gait on him the superin-
tendent would jump up and ask:
"Oh, l say. Mr.. Pagan. we're running
too fast for YOU | forgot, and, reach
ing up he swung twice on the bell rope
until the train came almost to a stand
still. Then he would signal to start
again, but as soon as the engineer got
her up to thirty, the jovial superin-
tendent would pull the train rope
again and bring her down almost to q
STOP
All this fun at Mr. Fagan's expense
however, will not cause him to refrain
from Offering a resolution that here
after all engineers running faster thar
six miles an hour be pulled from thei
iron horses and arrested.

ated in its new power-house.
While on their trip down the PENN
sula the councilmen visited Milford,
Smyrna. Clayton and Easton, Md, for
the purpose of seeing the towns where
only incandescent lights are used.
None of these towns was as we'll
lighted as New Castle with her Welsh
bachs. except the latter place, where
four arc lights are maintained in the
heart of the town. There the incandes-
cent lights cost 81 500 a year. and the
four arc lights $500 additional Here

Gulf MESSENGER for February.

Since the Gulf Messenger passed
into the hands of Mr.. James Brow
lee Sanford that gentleman has
ever aimed to make it a magazine
worthy OF the south, the section
for which 1t is specially published,
and welcome visitor to its friends
everywhere. Mr.. Sanford is giving
his readers an up-to-date magazine
in every respect and the publica-
ton would be credit to city Of
much greater pretentions than
San Antonio.
The February issue contains,
among much other interesting
matter, a serial by George Kennon
under the title Of "Life in Siberia"
in which Mr.. Kennon relates his
experiences in the frozen domain
of the car. The post Of honor,
however, is given ga Story of
West Point" by Lieut.. Hatch, now
Of Fort Sam Houston, in which
the lieutenant relates some anus
ing experiences OF former West
Point days. THE South and its
Problems" by Lawton b. Evans,
superintendent schools, Atlanta,
Ga, will no doubt open a new field
for thought to many who read 1t.
His solution of the race problem,
a problem which the elder south
ern states have ever with than
to a degree that we do not here
feel while very remote, is, never
theless, gratifying. Mr.. Sanford
writes OF his trip to the Hawaiian
islands, and what he saw while
there, illustrating the article with
appropriate half-tone engravings.
Besides the numerous short stovies,
the dramatic notes, and literary
review, and several poems, there
Is bit OF blank verse, "a Mes
sage" credited to no one, betray-
ing poetic genius which ought not
to lie dormant. Current Topics"
the New Orleans department Of
The Gulf Messenger, fills the clos
ing pages OF this issue, which pre-
sents nearly hundred pages Of
handsomely printed matter, with
a neat Autographed cover in olive
green and red.
