Emperor Francis Joseph at Vienna. The
German monarch impresses me with being
a fine, manly young soldier, full of mill
tary ardor and filled to the brim with ma
tional pride He will make a great man
when he grows little older.
Emperor Francis Joseph looked like a
man borne down with grief and cankering
care. The tragic death of his son no doubt
is the cause of all this, for the old mon
arch fairly dotted on the cratic Rudolph.
He attends the theaters once in a great
while. Whenever he does he acts as if he
had received q bracing tonic and plucks
up CHEEKY spirit for few hours, but the
inevitable gloom returns when the effect
of the tonic has disappeared.
The most charming man met abroad
was the late Alexandra Dumas, the gifted
author and playwright. The most charm
ing woman I met is Sarah Bernharit The
great actress saw me in 'sSalome'' and
gave me words of cheer and encourage
ment. Dumas, too, saw me in that dance
and sent me beautiful painting of him

President Ripley Issues Order as to
How 1t shall lse Used.
The plan of President E. p Ripley of
the Santa Fe in carrying economy into
the various details of railroad work is ill.,
lustraied by circular issued by the gem
eral superintendent Office in regard to
the use of railroad lanterns, in which
seven rules are laid down for the consid-
GRAFTON of employees. The circular states
that all employees are to follow these in
structions, which, it is believed will prove
beneficial to the care of the lanterns and
the method of handling the signal oil
which is burned.
The circular also states that it has been
arranged for Mr.. J. S. White, of Pitts
burg, Pa, who is expert in all matters
PERTAINING to burning oils, lamps, liant
ems, tubes and wicks. to visit all division
points, and confer with the officers as
we'll as any of the employees making use
of lanterns or signals, and explain and
instruct with reference to those matters.
The object of this circular is to inaug-
urate saving ia the use of signal oil.

BY POPULAR VOTE.


WASHINGTON. March 17.-Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, is preparing his re-
port in favor of an amendment to the
constitution providing for election for
United States senators by direct vote of
the people. At its last meeting the com
mittee on privileges and elections by a
vote OF to ordered a joint resolution
looking to change in this particular
to be reported to the senate.
1t is Mr.. MitchelPs intention to press
the resolution for consideration. THE
house has once passed a similar resolu-
tion,' said Senator Mitchell, sand l be-
Iieve is ready to pass another. There is
very strong feeling in the senate in favor
of the change, and Senator Palmer
of Illinois and others are anxious
30 have the matter brought
up. 1 am satisfied we have in the SEN
ate a majority in its favor but whether
or not we have the required two thirds
is doubtful We may have enough votes
to pass it and if we have, I believe the
proposed amendment will be ratified by
thrse- fourths of the states in the manner
required by the constitution.

ment to her hearts content, and in her
fifth year was in the receipt of the benefit
of direct and systematic musical tuition.
When about 10, she began studying with
Professor Michalowski at Warsaw, and in
Septem Der, 1889, proceeded to Paris, to-
ward which city nearly every foreign mu-
steal artist sooner or later 9ravitates. Up
to this period Mile. Szumowska had only
cultivated music as an amateur; but,
meeting the Polish pianist Paderewski in
the French capital, he at once recognized
her great musical talent anG persuaded
her to adopt music as a profession, advice
which she accepted, stimulated thereto by
the offer of her compatriot to direct her
pianoiorte studies. She has since worked
hard at the instrument of her adoption
under NJ. Paderewski's superintendent,
taking lessons occasionally, however, from
NJ. Gorski the great Polish violinist, who
specially superintendent her studies in the
performance of concert music.
The ladys FIRST public appearance was
made in Paris in April, 1891, at the Sale
Erard, and her London debut was made
at one of the popular concerts at St. James
hall at the end of November of the same
year. Later she came to this country,
where she has met with great favor, and is
one of the strongest concert magnets of
the day.

The Trouble Was That No One Would

dragged her away.

told me just to step off while he fixed the

the policeman.
''Well, no, but L would if he hadn' been
so sassy and pert. He says to me, Fare
and I says, How much?' Five cents
says he, and I gave him this nickel"
She showed a coin that was plainly
very poor lead counterfeit, and the officer
explained that nickel-in-the-slot-m
would kick at it. -
"Then," continued the woman, 81 gave
him this.''
This time she showed Hawaiian dime,
and the officer shook his head.
81 tried him with this two bit piece,
she went on.
The coin had nick in the side. The
half dollar that had been next offered had
a large plug in it. The policeman told
her that the coins were all bad.
"But got them all in this town." she
said, land believe you're in league with

Mile. Szumowska comes, it is said, of
an old Polish family that incurred the dis

Mile. Szumowska showed indications Of

''Pluck makes luck'' is an aphoris1n as
old as the hills Great men have conquered
success by their unfaltering courage in the
face OF difficulties rather than by any
chance of fortune. The same rule will ap-
ply in a minor degree to women. We of
the weaker sex for the most part have not
been endowed by a benefcent Creator with
those stern attributes of which heroes are
made. Some of US, however, are blessed
with perseverance, which in a woman is
almost as valuable trait as courage. Kind
friends have been good enough to say that
I possess this quality--I am not egotistic
enough to claim the more heroic one-and

Faithorn and Howe have handed down
their decision in the matter of read

The decision covered forty pages of

Prior to January 20 all kinds of rates
were being made on grain from Kansas
points and Nebraska south of the Beat
rice line, to Galveston and New Orleans
On that date the lines agreed to stop all
business pending the settlement of the
dispute by arbitration and since then the
railroads have become involved in all

Shippers in Kansas, Texas, and Ne

effect prior to January 20, and if the
rates named by Messrs. Faithorn and
Howe do not remove the discrimin alton
it will be taken in hand by the govern

Besides adjusting the grain rates from
the two states named, the arbitrators' de-

AMONG THE RAILROAD MEN
The Railroad War With the Denver

LIKELY 10 RESULT SERIOUSLY.

General Railroad News Pertaining
20 Kansas Lincs-PersOnals and
miscellaneous Items.
There is little chance of speedy ad'
justment of the passenger rate war in
augurated few days ago by the Union
Pacific, Denver 6 Gulf roads The cut
ting of rates is still confined to
the territory covered by the Den
yer 6 Gulf, bnt fears of its spreading
east to the Missouri river are enter
tanned. 1t all depends on the Union Pa
citic, which gives the Gulf road an outlet
from Julesburg junction, Neb,, to
Omaha. Thus far the Union Pacific has
refused to join the Denver & Gulf in the
cut rates, and if it continues to hold this
position serious results TO the trans
Missouri roads will be averted "
The object of the Denver Sc Gulf
in reopening the old fight on
passenger rates in Colorado is to
force the Santa Fe into a settle
ment of the coal rate war on the terms
proposed by the Gulf. Vice President
Morton of the Santa Fe said his COM
pany had already made all the conces-
sions to the Denver and Gulf in the coal
war that il can afford to make. Both the
Burlington and Union Pacific, he said,
are interested in this coal war, and stand
in the way of a settlement of the trouble
with the Denver and Gulf.

pOrtRnt Decision Affecting Them
CHIcAGo, March 17.-An opinion hand
ed down by Judge Grosscup is of vital
interest to owners of paid up stock in
building associations.
Two years ago the affairs of the Amer
lean Loan association were placed in the
hands of a receiver. A number of own
ers of paid up stock recently
filed an intervening petition ask
ing to be discharged with their
stock in full and released from further
liability on the ground that they did not
stand in the same relation of the other
stock holders, who made stated payments
on their stock, but were in reality pre-
ferred creditors.
Judge Grosscup refused the petition
holding that all stock holders were on
the same plane, that all participated in
the dividends of the company alike, and
it necessarily followed that they must
alike bear the losses
