LewelIing Defies Stryker Even
if it DragS His Party Down.

Railroad Commissioner LewelIing
says: Superintendent Stryker does
not dare take steps towards securing
my removal as a member of the rail-
road board"
In response to a question Mr. Level
ling did not say what is the reason
Stryker does not dare to present a res
olution to the council demanding his re-
moval but intimates by his action that
Mr.. Stryker will thereby plunge himself
into a great deal OF difficulty
The question now agita ting the minds
of the Populists is will Mr. Stryker
have the necessary nerve to stand by
his declara tion?''
Mr.. Stryker could not be seen today
but it is believed that his action will
not be Influenced by Mr. dwellings s

CAPT. BOYCOTT IS DEAD.
But His Name Lives After Him and
is His Monument.

London, June H.-Captain Boycott is
dead. He was about So years of age and
became famous through being the first
man subjected to the boycott in Ire
land. He was a land agent in 1881 in the
Connemara section of county Mayo, where
he collected rents. The captain made a
speech in the course of which he urged
the people of ireland to abstain from
agrarian crimes and to adopt instead
policy of sending harsh landlords, agents
and bailfffs ito Coventry the old term
for boycotting. Events so shaped them
selves that Captain Boycott was the first
man the Irish experimental on in this
connection and hence the now familiar
word of boycott.

NEW SANTA FE OFFICE.
A Department Created Which mr.. G.
S. Sutton Will Superintend.

Chicago, June PA change in the
system of accounting over the system
lines has been decided on by the Santa
Fe management. The proposed system
is UNIQUE from the fact that it is a new
departure in railroad accounting, and
it is estimated that its adoption will
accomplish a saving to the road of in
the neighborhood of $4,000 per year.
A new department is to be establish
ed at the general offices of the COM
pany in Topeka, and Mr.. c. S. Sutton,
at present auditor of freight receipts,
placed in charge with the title of
department all the accounts of inter
change business between the system
lines and foreign lines in freight, pas
senger and claim business will be han
died The accounting department of
each of the system lines will then han
die only business local to the respect
i've roads.
change business is handled in the ac-
counting departments of all of the
system lines.
lin reference to the above Mr.. c. S.
Sutton refused to talk today, but would
not deny that such change was con-
templated. H c. Whitehead, general
auditor of the road, will be in Topeka
tomorrow and it is supposed that he
comes to this city to arrange for the
change in the accounting department.
If the proposed change is made it will
be a promotion for Mr.. Sutton, and he
will probably be succeeded by Mr.. w.
J. Healy, at present chief clerk in his
department. The new department will

lie was informed that ii would be UNI
safe, if not impossible. to lower the
heavy steel pole masts of the Hoheu-
ZoIlern. his gigantic yacht, unless she
were in dock and under derrick. He
exclaimed that if nothing was impos-
sibe to him, and said if the naval en-
ginecrs aboard were unable to devise
means of lowering the masts while the
ship was afioat he would teach them
how.
Accordingly, he drew up scheme
for unshipping the masts by means OF
hawsers attached to the bow and to
the other masts. 1t was while this
hawser was being rugged up under his
personal direction that a rope snapped
and the end struck him in the face.
His eye was seriously injured. The
kaiser bore the intense pain without
flinching while in sight of his crew.
but when he withdrew to his cabin he
threw himself on the bed and writhed
in agony. When the surgical aid he Gb-
tanned some relief, he returned to the
deck with his eye bound up, and, in
spite of the urgngs of his officers. he
had the pole mast lowered, doing con
siderable damage to the yachts deck
and rigging by the operation. Having
given this demonstration Of his "di-
Vine" power, he had the crew summoned
and prayer was offered up. The cpl
sode was due to one of those attacks
of mania to which he is subject in mid
summer.

How Ostriches Rum.

Considerable misconception prevails
rs to the manner in which the ostrich
runs. 1t seems to be still generally held
that when running it spreads out its
wings, and, aided by them, skins light
ly over the ground. This is not cor
rect. When Il bird really settles itself
to run, it holds its head lower than
usual and a little forward, with a deep
loop in the neck. The neck vibrates
sinuousIy. but the head remains steady,
trus enabling the bird, even at top
speed, to look around with mistaken
glance in any direction. The wings
lie along the sides about on a level with
or a little higher than the back, and
are held loosely, just free of the plung-
ing thigh" There is no attempt to
hold them extended or derive any as
sistance from them as organs of fight.
When an ostrich, after a hard run. is
very tired, its wings sometimes droop,
this is due to exhaustion. They a@

His opportunity seemed thrown into
