UNION PACIFIC VENTILATION
senate Committee Looking Into It's
Affairs.

Washington, March 13.-The senate
committee on Pacific railroads resum-
ed its sitting today, devoting itself to
the Union Pacific. Oliver w. Mink,
one of the receivers of that road, was
interrogated by Senator Wolcott and
said there was included in the Union Pa
cifc system about 5000 miles. of which
1430 was government aided road and
1922 belong to the Union Pacific Com
pany For these 1929 miles the gross
earnings have been for the 26 months
since the road came into the hands of
receivers $32, ,S32. .632, the operating ex-
penses $2l. .lT9, ,233. He said that in this
time the company had paid So, sos, S65
interest on debts secured, especially
upon the company's land, of which it
held 3347,O0 acres
The inquiries during the afternoon
session of the committee was devoted
TO the question of reorganization, Mr..
Mink being on the stand. He said
that the Union Pacific. judged by the
earnings of recent years, would not be
able to assume fixed interest charge
of not to exceed $4,000, 900. In any plan
of reorganization, the Oregon Short
Line should be retained in the system.
He suggested that the United States
appoint a commission and empower 1t
to negotiate for a settlement. Mr.. Mink
said the consolidation of the Central
Pacific and the Union Pacific would
make strong combination, but that If
the Oregon Short Line was retained IN
the Union Pacific system the Central
Pacific would not be necessary to the
former. Mink took positive ground
against government ownership of the
road.
s. III. II. Clark, one of the receivers
was examined as to the Union Pacific
connections at the Missouri river and
said the road had closer relations with
the Chicago & Northwestern than with
any other line. He knew of no reasons
for the fact that the Northwestern in
fiuence was especially strong in the
reorganization plan and asserted that
he did not know Hon Chauncey M. De
pew.
Clark positively said that the road
was paying no rebates and that 1t was
not in politics.
In questioning Mink Mr. Woclott di-
rected his efforts to show that Russell
| Sage and George Gould, who are the
| trustees for the consolidated mortgage
| of the Kansas Pacific line, had prevent
| ed the payment of the first mortgage in
| terest, but Mink hesitated to reply TO
these questions, saying they involved
| legal questions with which he was not
familiar.
Mr.. Gear announced an executive
meeting of the committee for Monday
when 1t will be decided whether any
more hearings viii be necessary.

AN AWFUL BREAK.
He Said His Mother Was - Widow
VTnunonD

Woman"
The fair girl from Boston gaZed upon
Harold Bentley's face and a new feeling
took possession of her, says the Cleve-
land Leader. He was one of Cleveland's
most aristocratic young men and as
handsome as a Greek god.
After they had been introduced they
strolled away from the crowd and he
told her about his sisters and his
mother, who were in Europe, and
Beatrice Montgomery suddenly real
ized that the flame of love was begin
ming to flicker in her breast.
She talked vivaciously OF her days
at Wellesley and of her explorations in
the rich mines of Sanskrit and of her
Investigations of the mahatmas and
the occult flap-doodles of the far east.
Then he told her about his horses and
his rubber-tired traps, and they gazed
into each others eyes and sighed a lot
Of long-drawn signs and were beginning
to feel that they had passed through the
pc4rly gates and were strolling through
streets that were paved with gold.
At last Beatrice Montgomery said:
"You have told ms about your mother
and your sisters being in Europe, but
you have said nothing about your ia
ther. Is he with them?"
NO." the handsome young man re-
piled, after a painful pause; h is not
with them. My mother is a widow
woman"
When the doctors had finally succeed
ed in bringing the fair Boston girl out
OF her woo she waved her hands at
Harold Bentley and wildly cried:
Take that man away!"

MILLAIS,
1t Is Said He Was the eat Paint
of the Age.

1t Is Said He Was the Greatest Painter
of tho Age.
For a period of nearly so years Millais
has been before the public as an artist
and for the greater part OF that ting
he has sustained his reputation as the
greatest painter of his day, says scrih-
rer's. He has painted history, romance,
poetry. landscape. portraits and has
made his mark in all.
No one else has attempted SO wide q
range of subjects, few have shown a
greater variety of invention or up
preached him in his command over
tools and materials, II is only within
the last few years that he has shown
any decline of power and it was only
the other day that Mr.. Watts, his great
colleague, observed to me of one of
of the Royal academy (1S96) hat as
painting # was good as ever"
His art Is in no Senae ideal; his
Imagination cannot body forth things
unknown or rise to any great heroic
height; he has never attempted to repre-
sent rapid or violent action, but inside
these lines his powers are splendid and
exuberant, ,
An almost matchless draughtsman, q
c~olorist of great truth and force, o
painter of extraordinary initiative pow
err, with a handling not always pleasant.
perhaps, but of the utmost sureness
and freedom, he has left a body of work
which both for quality and quantity
has scarcely been equaled in modern art.
Indeed, the whole of his york has been
so sincere and full of fresh life, IL re-
fleets so forcibly his own personality
and the living spirit of his day, that'it
Is difficult to believe that it can ever be-
come uninteresting TO posterity.

It So Fascinated n Missouri Man That He
Hardly Took Time to Eat.
"I remember what a wonderful fas-
cination Eugene Sues Wandering Jew
had for me when as a boy 1 got hold
of the coveted work 1 had heard so
much about" said L. NJ. Vincent, of
st. Louis, to a Washington Post repre-
sentative.
II would scarcely take time to eat, SO
tremendously was 1 excited over the
fortunes of Rose and Blanche, Djalma
and Adrienne, and all my studies were
neglected till the last page of the har-
rowing story had been perused. The
other day by accident q copy of that
long-spun-out fell into my
hands while travelling, and 1 thought
I'd begufle an hour or SO in reading
a chapter here and there.
'But less han an hour was sufficient
to excite such profound disgust at the
book that caught my youthful fancy,
that 1 tossed it aside with contempt.
How a grown-up person with any lit
erary taste could e such utter rot
is past my comprehension. 1t Is a vile
story, vilely told. In contrast to this l
could not help but think of my read
ing of The Antiquary' for the second
time after the lapse of 80 years. The
grace of it's telling and the charm of it's
characters were even stronger than in
those early days. The product of the
master appeals to all generations, and
the time will never come when such
beautiful stories as The Antiquary'
will not count their readers by the tens
of thousands"
