aday world back into scenes and DAYS
when the thoughts of the spirit world
were not crowded down by the matter
of-fact detail of everyday existence.
And it was just such an experience
that came to those fortunate enough
to gain admission to Archbishop Ken
rick's obsequies at the cathedral.
From the beginning of the service
to the closing scenes there was pre-
sented a panorama unlike anything
yer enacted in real life. 1t was as
though the characters in some me-
-dieval fresco had stepped down from
the painted wall and grouped them
selves in Kaleidoscope tableaux like
creatures of flesh and blood.
The Cathedral vas just the locality
for such a scene. Its old French
Spanish architecture is a "Reminiscences
of other days. Within are broad ~aisles,
massive pillars, a sanctuary that pro-
jects into the body of the church until
il almost falls within the shadow of
the organ loft.
In the deep recesses of the sanctury
were crowded to-day row upon row of
priests. in every direction as far as
the eye could penetrate; everywhere,
on every side in the shadow of the
lofty arches, shot by the occasional
%lancing sunlight through the Munich
glass were surpliced cleTgymen.
Immediately before the main altar
was a double row of high dignitaries
of the church in purple robes, relieved
only by the CLEAN of the golden pecto-
raj cross.
At either end of the semi-circle
formed by this dignifed body were the
caI,opied thrones, N occupied by the
cardinal in his robes of scarlet, the
other by Archbishop Kahn in the SOM
Der vestments of the celebrant of the
funeral mass. Around them were the
assistant priests, the acolytes and mas
1ers of ceremonies.

The funeral cortege was one of the
largest ever seen in st. Louis. 1t was

who lined the streets.

would possibly lead to another Soudap

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March IA
Charles Adams, a prisoner at the
workhouse, was shot yesterday by Ed
ward Graham, a guard at the same in
stitution, for refusing to sit in a bar
bcr,s chair and have his mustache
shaved off and his hair clipped. Adams
was manacled at the time, and. when
ordered to sit in the chair, protested
that he did not want his mustache
shaved off. Graham cursed him and
struck him with his mace, and then,
calling to the barber to get out of the
way, fired at the prisoner, the bullet
lodging in his leg and making a dan
gerous wound. The shooting has
caused much indignation, as Adams
was unarmed and in irons.

FISH In A Foe.
A Most Remarkable Story Told by
Santa Fe Engineer Client.

Few people are aware of the heavy
consistency Of Kansas liver fog at this
season of tho year, and while 1t does not
approach the thickness Of the renowned
fOgs of London, it is nevertheless dense
enough to support the smaller fish of the
water. An illustration of this fact was
experienced by Santa Fe Engineer Byron
Client of engine 40, while running
along the Kansas river on his way from
Argentine to Topeka with freight
train last Sunday morning. Engineer
Ghent noticed that the air supply of the
train was not sufficient, although the air
pump was working perfectly, and there
was apparently no reason for the lack of
air on the train. After examining the
different fixtures Of the air apparatus,
and finding that none were disabled, he
al last removed the covering from the
air drum and there was astonislled to find
the cause of the deficiency of air. In
the bottom OF the drum, clogging the
passage to the train, were grouped sew.
enl hundred minute minnows, as he ex-
pressed it, a ''hatful,'' which had been
pumped in from the air by the air pump.
Engineer Client says this is a common
occurrence In the winter fogs of the
rivers. as the small fishes are so light
that they can easily support themselves
IN the thickness of the fog.
IL is unnecessary to say that after the
removal OF the minnows, there was no

porter 81 took off all the clothes could
spare and sat out in the front room of
my house with the windows open and the
similarity of the conditions reminded me
of an incident that occurred long time
ago on the western part Of the Santa Fe
in Kansas when the road was young.
II was braking then on night pas
senger train. and Jim Wakeman. who
was us well known and well thought of
as anybody on the division, was holding
down one of his first stations at Syracuse,
Syracuse was no bigger then than it is now
and though he was the dav agent, he was
compelled to stay in the depot and throw
Oh the night mail. The train did not stop
aud the transfer of mails was made as
the train slackened.
"One night, just about like last night.
Jim decided he had on more clothes than
the western Kansas summer climate de-
manded, and as there were but two fam
lilies in the town, and no callers likely,
concluded he would remove few
clothes-not families,
s.He did, and was soou wrapped in a
peaceful slumber, and nothing else but
his underwear.
"He was just getting ready to step into
his special Car for a trip to Mars on his
own transatmospheric air line when he
was rudely called back to earth by the
whistle and the rumbling Of the ap-
preaching train. He jumped to his feet
and made a grab for the mail sack, which
he had placed near, rushed out, threw it
and looked sleepily after the fast fading
red light. He picked up the sack that
had been thrown off and went back to
the telegraph room to dress before going
up town to his rightful bed.
'sSOmehow the trousers he reached for
didn't 60 on easily, and after two or
three sleepy attempts he turned up the
light and looked at them. 1t was The
mail sack. He had made the terrible
mistake of retaining the mail sack and
throwing his trousers on the train.
AL night he remained in the depot
and 1t was nearly IL O'Clock the next day
before anybody came near enough to the
depot to be sent up town to borrow
pair of overa;ls he could wear until his
trousers could be returned the next
night.

CHANGE ON THE SANTA FE.
New Agreement Covering the Pay of
Conductors and Brakemen.

For some time the conductors and
brakemen on some divisions of the Santa
Fee road have not been wholly satisfied
with the manner in which they are paid.
On some divisions Of the road the train
men are paid by the mileage system,
while on others they are paid stated
amount each month.
G. w. Thornburg, chairman of the o.
K. c.. grievance committee Of the road,
anu r. c. Scott of the B. of X. T., have
held many conferences with tile manage-
ment Of the road. An agreement has
finally been reached and the following
changes will be made on certain divisions
of the road.
Mileage limit Of passenger crews. On
ordinary passenger runs exceeding 1000
miles per month, 5000 miles will be con-
sidered months work, except between
La Junta and Albuquerque, where $500
miles will be the limit. On limited trains
1000 miles will be considered a months
work, except between La Junta and Al
buquerque, where $500 miles will be con-
sidered the limit. In case any runs ex-
coed the above limits overtime will be
pail pro rata, or the men allowed suftici-
ent time off each month to bring the
mileage within the above limits.
Western division passenger crews run
ming between Dodge City and Denver re-
ceive the highest rate of pay.
Crew on Topeka and Kansas City local
train known as the ''plug" to receive,
conductor 1925, brakemen $50 per month.
Passenger crew running between Strong
City and Superior to receive. conductors,
1925, braksmen $50 per month.
Freight runs between Topeka and st.
Joseph to be paid on mileage basis.
On all divisions brakemen will receive
one hour overtime for coaIing engines,
but shall be paid only once for the same
time. This intended to provide that if
q crew is paid one hour overtime for
turning aud switching IA train, or for
doing work at a station, and the coaling
was done within the time so paid for,
they shall not receive pay forcpaling.
1t is understood that in case Of breach
of trust where the general officers are
beyond II doubt that trainmen
are dishonest. they reserve the right to

formal investigation.
Should the general or division officers
of the OrganiZiti nns of conductors or
trainmrn question the justice of such
the management will en-
deavOr to satisfy them that such action
is jus,itied.--Capital.
