STREET CAR CONDUCTORS.
They Work Harder and Rate Lower Thar
 Their Steam Road Brothers

They Work Harder and Rate Lower Than
 Their Steam Road Brothers-
 You often think it's hard for the pas senger conductor of an accommodation train which stops at two or three sta tions to the mile to tell who has paid his fare and who has not. The conduct or of a short run accommodation train especially must be peculiarly gifted man. He must be at once both cool headed and even tempered. or if not he Is a total failure.
 But if the requisites of 6 railroad conductor are such, what are the re- Quirements of the man who runs com mon street carP Why, as much as those of the railroad man and several times more. The railroad accommodation con- ductor on one of the short run trains which leave the big cities has little more work, little more responsibility and requires less real skill than the man who by grace is called ''oonductor" on trolley car of one of our cities.
 Both men, of course, have thousands of cares. The railroad man has a certain number of stops to make and 0 certain schedule time allowed for getting over his run of the railroad. The street car conductor has an uncertain number of stops to make, yet he still has his cer tain scheduled time to make on his run. and he must make it, too, or be able to give an "A No. 1" excuse for failure. The railroad conductor is always the | biggest man on hfs train. Is ever the street car conductor the biggest, unless every passenger is off and the motormun also? These things make it hard for the ,l1o hn md who is expected by the company for which he works and spurred on by a dozen or so sharp eyed ''spotte,5, " or ''street car deteotives," as they call themselves, to feel as lovely as @ spring morning, and they make his already nervous work doubly SO The railroad conductor doesn't meet that phase of existence once in decade, or if so not any oftener.
 | No one presumes to expect so much from the knight of the ticket punch as he does from the knight of the trolley rope. Every one who travels on street oars expects the conductor to know every cross street on his line and just l where it strikes that street, and, in deed, he should know this much, but in addition be is expected to know every one who lives on the streets along which his line runs, every one who lives on all the countless streets which cross the route of his Car and then all the immediate streets and their inhabit- ants the whole length of his line. The street car conductor is expected to be porter as we'll on his car. He must help people on and off, lift up and lift down huge baskets and bundles, never get tired of all the questions which only the city directory could answer, and then, in addition, keep all of the strict rules of the company for which he works and see to it that all of his passengers do so too. For this work he gets $2 or $2 25 day, while the rail road conductor, who is a very king in comparison, draws his $5 or $6 per day, or $125 month, and is not classed as a. ''social suspect" either.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Ancient Umbrella.

On coins in the rock carvings of the ancients the umbrella often shows it's familiar form. This goes to prove that Jonas Hanway did not invent the um- brella, but he saw the value of the east ern sunshade and soon it became the fashion to carry this useful article. There must be a great difference be- tween the umbrella of the eighteenth century and the modern steel ribbed, silk covered, slender article which 1t is regarded as misfortune to get wet Irish Times

WYMAN TO THE COMMITTEES.
He FRvOrS Proposed Amendment to
Interstate Commerce Law-His
Big Terminal Scheme.

Washington. Jan. 26.-The house commit
tee on commerce and several representa-
tives of the interstate commerce commits
sion to-day listened to a speech by Mr..
Erastus Wyman, of New York, in support
of q proposed amendment to the interstate
commerce law which provides that any
common carrier desiring to form through
route for interstate traffic over its own line
or any part thereof may do so by notifying
the other common carriers concerned of
the proposed fares. and divisions of fares
and proposed routes. In cases of disagree
ment. the Interstate commerce commission
may prescribe rates and routes, or 1t may
do so at the request of any person inter
csted in the interstate traffic under the
amendment.
Mr. Wyman proposes to build a terminal
railroad for the purpose of connecting the
railroads entering New York and Jersey
City with ships at Staten Island. The cost
of lighteIage in New York harbOr. he rep
resented, is diverting commerce from that
harbor to Montreal, st. Johns, Boston,
Norfolk and Galveston. On the 200.0 600
bushels of grain which reached New York
last year. the lighterage charges amounted
to SIS per 1000 bushels. The commerce of
New York in grain was falling off annual
ly and the Brooklyn storehouses were
empty.

FIGHT LOCATION SETTLED.
CORBETT-FITz BATTLE WILL TAKE
PLACE IN NEVADA.
Bill Permitting Glove Contests Passed
the Assembly Yesterday and Will
Undoubtedly Become n Law
Other Sporting News.

As announced exclusively in the Journal
of yesterday morning, it is now practically
a settled fact that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight will be brought off in Nevada, prob
ably at Reno, which is the most accessiole
city of the state.
The bill permitting glove contests IN Ne
vada which was introduced in the lesls-
lature on Monday yesterday passed the
assembly by vote of 20 to 3, the amount
of the license being fixed at $1,000.
An Associated Press dispatch from San
Francisco says:
THE Corbett-F -Fitzsimmons glove contest
will take place in close proximity to one
of the Nevada towns, viz: Carson, Reno
or Virginia City. A bill PERMITTING such
affairs has been introducer in the as
sembly at Carson, and there is every in
dication that it will become law within
the next day or two Such being the case,
all speculations as TO where the big mill
will take place may safely be said TO have
come to an end. Dan Stuart's partner,
William K. Wheelock, has been in Corson
for weeks past under the pseudonym OF
William Kenyon. Whether Wheelock's ad-
vice was of any assistance in framing the
measure matters little. The fact remains
that Nevada is in fair way OF getting the
contest, and such being the case the sports
of San Francisco are jubilant. 1t IS the
first time that match to finish of that
magnitude has been held anywhere close
to California for years and 1t is safe 10
say that the San Francisco contingent OF
ring followers will be larger than that from
any other city outside of Nevada.
