WESTERN ROADS HOPEFUL
That January and February Will
Show Big Returns.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The Western
roads, which were looking for a decided
increase in freight business after the
excitement of election died away, have
not, in any great measure, had their
hopes fulfilled. What they have had
in the last few weeks has been as
much due to the better preservation of
rates as to any great increase in the
volume of traffic. The shipment of
grain has not been as heavy as was
expected and other business has not
increased in a great measure. The
earnings of many of the lines for No
Vember will show decided falling off
from the same month of last year, and
1t is not expected that December viii,
show much better than November.
The view generally taken is, how
ever, Of hopeful nature and most of
the higher officials, say that they are
satisfied with the increase in the bust
ness since election They claim that a
spasmodic increase. in the amount or
business would have been the worst
thing that could happen, as it would
be of a mushroom nature and the bot.
tom would soon drop out of it. They
claim also that the freight they have
been carrying since election has been
carried on rates that were granted to
the shippers during the period of two
or three months, since when the roads
were making as low a rate as they

dared, to get the freight and then
cutting that in half to prevent some
competitor from getting it away from
them. Nearly all Of the presidents of
the Western lines say that they ex-
pect to show greatly increased con6f-
tons in January and February. and
from that time on.
1t is altogether likely that the West
ern roads will soon adopt a form of
lnterchange able mileage ticket. THE
trouble is at present that generally
speaking, they have only a very in
definite idea of what method will give
the best satisfaction to the roads and
to the users of the tickets The action
of some Of the lines of the Central
Passenger committee in taking indie
pendent action in the matter, has been
something of an object lesson to sew
eral of the Western lines and if the
Western Passenger association, as an
organization. does not take some action
toward putting the ticket on the mar
ket within a reasonable time there are
some of the lines that will put it into
effect on their own responsibility
There is general inclination however
TO await the action OF the association
and adopt some method that will be
uniform throughout the territory of the
association. Thst lines are willing
enough to put out the ticket as soon
as they can see. their way to do 50
without hurting their business and
laying their rates open to manipuIa-
ton.

The old adage that one has to go
away from homest4 set the news is ex-
emplified in a. report printed in the
San Francisco Examiner to the effect
that President Hill, of the Great North
ern, had awarded a contract to the
Cramps. of Philadelphia, for the imme-
date construction of two new steel
ships of $500 tons burden and a guar
anteed speed of twenty knots an hour,
the boats to ply between Seattle, Ia
coma and Portland down to Frisco.
President Hill denies the statement
and laughs at it for it's absurdity. The
president knows a thing or two about
ships himself, ana he knows that no
boat of that capacity could accommo-
date machinery of that speed and still
have room enough left to make freight
and passenger traffic pay The reports
have been extensively printed in the
West and have given some uneasiness
to Southern Pacific officials, who have
had the monopoly practically on the
traffic from the mouth of the Columbia
to San Francisco.

Catholic Ladies' of ST. Paul Inter
ested in the Event

The House CT Good Shepherd Bazaar,
which opens at the Ryan annex hall
tomorrow, continuing during the entire
week, is attracting attention and is
expected to draw large crowds daily,
nightly and at noon, when dinners will
be served by the ladies in charge. Sup
pers will also be served every evening"
The entertainment committee promises
change in programme each evening"
and the very best talent obtainable
in the Twin Cities will take part The
various tables will be oaded down
with beautiful articles-prominence be-
ing given to the elegantly dressed con-
vent dolls. These must be seen to be
appreciated. Nothing like them has
been offered before in this city. Great
interest and rivalry is being taken in
the voting contests; especial interest
centering in the contest for the beau
tfful set of vestments, by all the par
ishes in the city, and this particular
contest will be close and exciting.
There will also be other contests.
Capt. J. j. S Yapp, of the fire depart
ment, and Lieut.. Henry Bate, ofGthe
fire department, will contest for a silver
tea set.
Hon. Charles E. Flandrau will be
present Monday evening, to open the
initial entertainment with an address,
bearing upon the great work which
is being accomplished by this well
known institution. The House of Good
Shepherd covers field which is
reached by no other charitable institu=
ton in the Northwest, and consequent
ly appeals to the hearts and purses Of
all classes.
Monday evening Prof. Moreno, who
has been a successful teacher Of
guitar and mandolin, will furnish
part of the programme, aided by some
of his advanced pupils. Mrs. George
O'Reilly, who has the vocal numbers
in charge, has beautiful soprano
voice. She will render two solos in
her delicate style, and will be assisted
in a quartette by members of the choir
of st. Joseph's church and Miss HaW-
kins.
Tuesday evening the programme
will be under the management of Mrs
Hoffman, the organist of the Cathedral
whose musical power as an accom-
PIANIST has attracted the attention of
& prominent artists who have visited ST.
Paul. She will be assisted by her sis
ter, Miss Collins, and members of the
Cathedral choir.
Wednesday evening an unusually at
tractiVe double programme has been
arranged. Miss Hope and Miss Shave
have combined their efforts to make
this particular evening a rare treat
st. Paul owes much to these two art
lists, who have worked so faithfully
and successfully to furnish musical
feasts. Miss Hopes playing with her
string orchestra is one of the pleasant
memories of the G. A. R. encampment
The young ladies who comprise her
orchestra will assist her Wednesday
night. Miss -Shawe's annual concerts
at ST. Mary's church have become so
well and favorably known that com
nent on them is unnecessary. She will
be assisted by St. Marys choir.

many of the citizens Of st. Paul will
be glad of the opportunity which af-
fordS them a chance Of hearing this
choir.
Friday evening the Twin. City Man
dolin orchestra will furnish the pro-
gramme. This attraction has been re-
served for the last musical evening as
the ladies of the amusement commit
tee felt that this orchestra, being so
deservedly popular, would surely keep
st. PauIS interest in the bazaar alive
up to the closing day.
There will not be any musical pro-
gramme Saturday night, as the closing
Of the contests will take place
Miss Sans Souci, who is out of the
city, will be back before the end of
the week, and will take part with

the evening entertainments. Her
friends will give her a warm welcome
home, as they are proud Of her recent
success in New York. She played be-
fore a critical audience, and was

Despite it's ceaseless whirl. society
Will doubtless find time to show it's
appreciation of the fact that the ba-
zaar is to be given under the auspices
or prominent social leaders, and for
an institution, than which there is no
mere worthy in the city, and which
appeals to every citizen irrespective Of
creed. Beside being one of the largest
social and philanthropic events of the
season, the bazaar will offer an I'M
pTecedented opportunity for the pur-
chase of Christmas gifts
Many of the articles have been made
by the sisters themselves, and their
exquisite needlework is too well known
to need any special commentator.
Among the ladies who are especially
interested are Mrs. HILL Mrs. Borup,

MIR. HICKEY WILL REST.
Northern Pacific's superintendent of
Motive Power Resigns,


Motive Power Resigns.
superintendent of Motive Power John
Hickey, Of the Northern Pacific, has
been compelled by ill-health to resign
his position, taking effect Jan. 1. Mr..
Hickey will be succeeded by E. M.
Herr, who is now connected with the
Chicago & Northwestern system, in the
capacity of assistant superintendent of
motive power. Mr.. Herr is a very able
man in his profession.
The reasons for Mr.. Hickey's retire
ment are exceptionally sad During
the past three years Mr.. Hickey has
lost by death four of his children The
successive blows were too much for the
stricken fathers strength, and he has
slowly lost his grip upon health. Prior
to his Affections MIR. Hickey was in
excellent spirits and health. He hopes
restore himself to his old health by
taking an indefinite vacation. He will
probably go South.
None of the officers Of the Northern
Pacific is more universally liked than
Mr.. Hickey. He became connected
with the motive power department. in
1891 and has elevated the department
to one Of the most efficient and modern
in the country. His ability is recog-
n1zed all over the country. His great
hold over those under him was in his
uniform kindness and fairness in all
his dealings. AS "a mechanical expert,
Mr.. Hickey is looked upon as an au-
thorfty. Many Of the great engines
which are to be Seen at their daily
work along the, line of the Northern
Pacific were planned by, Mr.. Hickey.
In his nnisfortunes, he has the heart
felt sympathy of the railroad fra !.
ternity, and it is hoped his rest will
result in his complete restoration to
health.

Trunk Lines Stubborn as to Cana
dian Excursions.

All hope of inducing the Eastern
trunkaHnes to allow the Northern Pa
ciffc and the Great Northern to open
up American territory to the reduced
rates applying from Manitoba to
Eastern Canada points, has been aban-
doned, as kilograms were received yes
terday from the trunk line managers
saying that the proposition had been
rejected. The board refused to allow
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern to sell tickets from Northern
Minnesota and North Dakota, and re-
fuses to recognize tickets from these
points. which will compel the roads to
make their tickets read from Winni-
peg. There is no little disappointment
over the matter as it was hoped the
trunk line managers would see that
their action was discriminating against
American territory in favor of Cana
dian. The circular reads:
In the matter of Canadian excur-
sions the managers have decided that
the use of these fares from points in
the United States, or as baSing fares
in connection with authorized or I'M
authorized excursion fares over East
ern lines in the United States, for the
issuance and sale of through tickets
from or to points in the United States
is unauthorized; that the acceptance by
any joint traffic association line of such
tickets will be Legitimate and subject

cles of organization
