REBUKED.
A LADY IN WABASH AVENUE CAR
PUBLICLY CALLS MAN TO
ACCOUNT.
AppIauded by the Other Passengers.

From the Chicago Tribune, Nov. 26, 1895.
That truth is mighty and will prevail"
was evidenced yesterday about noon in a
Wabash avenue car going up town. Two
men were discussing various subjects, and
among them patent medicines.
81 don't believe there is an honest patent
medicine on the market today" said one:
lot of worthless. clap-trap stuff that either
do no good or do actual HARM"
'fWhy look at these Sparagus Kidney Pills
said the big man. who had introduced the
subject. 81 don't believe they are worth two
cents bushel, and 1 venture to say
''You will pardon me-" said a young lady
talking of something you don't know any
thing about, and, like most ignorant people,
the less you know the louder you shout. DR..
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills cured my
brother of a kidney disease that he had had
for over six years, and which some of the
best doctors in Chicago said was incurable.
81 am only a working girl. but 1 don't
propose to stand by and hear a medicine that
/ know is the best in the world run down
by people who don't know what they are
talking about. So there"
The two men rapidly left the car amid
the smiles and mods Of approval of the pas
sengers.
The young lady in question was Miss Ros-
allie Abram, 1902 Wabash avenue.
She afterwards told reporter who called
at her house, that she was very sorry that
She had spoken up as she did and got her
name in the papers, and refused to be. inter
viewed 1t was learned from neighbor,
however, by little adroit questioning that
her brother, who is railroad man, was
very sick by spells, and had given UP all
hopes of steady employment until he had
been cured by DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
pills, and that the family feel very strongly
on the subject.
We venture to say that every street car
in Chicago, on every trip 1t makes, has at
least one person in it who has used and
knows what DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
will do. although they may not be quite so
brave and outspoken as Miss Abram.

VERY EFFECTIVE METHOD IN USE
BY THE WESTERN PASSENGER
ASSOCIATION.
GREAT GAINS IN TRAFFIC.

IMMENSE.
MISSOURI PACIFIC
SHOWING
In Next Months Annual Report Con-
ceded to Be an Unsatisfactory
One.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Chairman Cald-
well, of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, has a little army Of detectives
out in the market buying UP all the
tickets issued by the association roads
which he can find in the hands Of
brokers. ALI the tickets he buys must,
under the agreement, be redeemed by
the roads issuing them at full tariff
rates. He is daily presenting large
bundles for redemption In consequence
of his operations, the market is cleaner
today than it has been for months be-
fore. Roads are getting tired of his
incessant calls for redemption of tick
cts, and to get rid of them they are
declaring off all their deals with brok-
ers. The new agreement is proving the
most effective in the maintenance Of
rates that has ever been in operation
in Western territory.
Freight traffic on the Western roads
is steadily improving. February so
far has been the best month the Bur-
lington has had in the last twelve
Rock Island earnings have increased
during the month at the rate of $4,000
a day. There is a large tonnage in
sight. 1t is chiefly made up of corn,
cribbed along the tracks of the road,
waiting a rise in price, to be shipped
to market. All the storage of this
kind along the Burlington, Wabash
and Rock Island is fully taken up.
The Milwaukee & st. Paul has six
million bushels of grain in the ware
houses on it's tracks, and although
there is full movement on that road
no space is allowed to remain empty
for any length Of time. It's earnings
for some months to come are likely to
make a favorable showing, as they
have been doing.
From preliminary figures in the Mis-
souri, Pacific's annual report to be
issued next month, it is conceded that
the statement for last year will be an
extremely unsatisfactory one The re
port will show a deficit on the years
operations of 100000 at least. Gross
earnings increased by $S0S,577, but that
was not nearly enough to wipe out
the deficit of 81 1888, 1855 which existed
at the beginning of the year. If net
earnings show the same increase as
gross earnings have there will be
Sc, 125, TAT. To that is to be added
$741 900 income from other sources The
charges to be met out Of these, eX-
elusive of interest on bonds into which
the floating debt was funded, amount
to $4,000, 600.
The interest on the floating debt for
two years amounted to ST. 200. 000

JACOB LIT IN TOWN.
Comes to Witness the Performance
of ''The Last Stroke.o

of sSThe Last Stroke.o
Manager Jacob Lift, accompanied
by his wife, arrived in the city yester>
day, having come direct from New
York, to be present at the start of his
latest and most important dramatic
venture, THE Last Stroke which will
receive its first presentation on any
stage at the Grand tomorrow night.
Mr. Lift ran the gauntlet Of the big
snow storm that prevailed in New
York state a day or two ago, and
escaped with a few hours delay. while

to ST. Paul by another route, was less
fortunate, being laid out near Buffalo
for twenty-four hours. The company
left Chicago last night and will ar
81 have a good deal Of confidence in The
Last Stroke" said Mr.. Lift, in conversation
with a G / o b e reporter last night 1T re-
hearses well, and it looks like a very strong
acting play. My confidence in 1t has led me to
put out good deal of money in getting up
fine production, and as for the cast why a
stronger one never appeared on the stage of
the Grand. Quite number Of big managers
saw scene rehearsal of the piece at the Star
theater before the company left New York.
among them Al Hayman, Charles Frohman
Eugene Tompkins and E. G. Gilmore and thew
were enthusiastic about 1t, Two New York
managers have made me an offer of splendid
time for it, and one Of them wanted me to alter
my plans and put it on in New York immedi-
ately for q run. This was after watching
rehearsal ] decided to produce it in st. Paul
however. You may call it superstition, but ali
the plays l have first produced in this city
have proved successful, so I'll be content with
the verdict of st. Paul audience There's a.
scarcity of good plays in New York lust now
They've had lot of bad English melodrama
and the people are tired of 1t. There's a de-
mand for American melodrama, and strong
demand, too. The War of Wealth has made
a tremendous hit at he Star theater There
wasn't night last week that we didn't turn
people away, and it is the same thing this
week. The author has made one or two
changes since the play was seen here last fall.
and has put in a new scene, which is cork
err The New York papers say we will surely
run out the season there, and so sure of it am
/ that I've cancelled all other time l held for
this show.
81 have already begun preparations for the
production of new melodrama, by Grattan
Donnelly, entitled "A Tammany Tiger which
will be given a two weeks trial early In April.
1t deals with certain social and political phases
of New York life. All of my ventures are
prospecting. In Old Kentucky is now re-
turning from a really triumphant tour of the
Pacific coast. l am stating the simple truth
when say that never in the history of theat-
ricals has play done such a business on the
coast as In Old Kentucky'-and this play first

Mr. Lift will remain with aThe Last Stroke
for two or three weeks. l. N. Morris will ar

WALLER WILL COME HOME.
Ex-United States Consul Set Free In
France.

France.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Secretary
Olney received cablegram today from
Ambassador Eustis, announcing that
Waller, the ex-consul to Madagascar,
was released from jail today 1t is ex-
pected that Waller Will join his family
in the United States. Waller is entire
ly destitute Of means. Our ambas-
sador, Mr.. Eustis has been authorized
by Secretary Olney to provide him
with transportation to the United
States. He has been in prison for
nearly year, having been arrested by
the French authorities on the 9Th of
March last, in Madagascar, and after
wards being kept in confinement in the
military prisons in France. The au-
thorities here feel that they have rea-
son to be gratif1ed at the outcome of
the case, which, as revealed by the cor
respondence on the subject, came near
er than the public was aware of, at
one time, of leading to an actual sew
erance of diplomatic relations between
the two republics. The point at issue
was not whether Waller was guilty of
the offense charged against him, but
resolved itself into a question as to
whether or not our government had
the right to insist upon satisfying itself
that the American citizens had had
justice.

MAKE HASTE SLOWLY.
Britain VIII Wait the Report of Our
Venezuelan Commission.

LONDON. Feb. 22-The Chronicle
says, with reference to G. w. Small
1ey's suggestion for the settlement Of
the Venezuela question: I'VE do not
need to assume that Lord Salisbury
has rejected the American proposal in
it's entirety. But our information is
that matters have reached a less hope
full final stage than is assumed in some
quarters.
"It is doubtful if our government will
take any decisive action until after
the American commission has reported.
If the report should favor the British
claim, the government might be in
clined to say that the case was ended,
and that the only remaining step for
America to take was to bring pressure
to bear on Venezuela. We fear, how
ever, that the report will be delayed
and will bring us perilously near the
great rock ahead, namely, the Amer
lean election"
The Standard understands that the
attorney general, Sir Richard Web
ster has revised the statement of the
British case on the Venezuelan dis
pute prepared by Sir Frederick Pol
lock, of Oxford university, and that it
maps and documents. 1--WE believe"
says the Standard, ''that the govern
ment regards the British case as his
toricalIy unassailable, although the
diplomatic aspect is by nc means free
from confusion"
The Standard also has an editorial
ON this subject, which, recognizing the
approachment between England and
America, protests against undue haste
in settling the Venezuela dispute. 1t
commends the government for going
slowly, and believes that the American
government is equally circumspect
The Standard also claims authority
to assert that President Cleveland has
refused to assist President Crespo in
resisting Englands claim for indemni-
ty. and it thinks the fact that the
Washington government has brought
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador in Washington, into direct
communications with Senior Andrade
the Venezuelan minister is hopeful for
the resumption of relations between
England and Venezuela.
