PASSENGER Aepyrs ALI Right
Chnuncey Dcpcw Says So aud II
Must Re.

Must Re.
william c. Ba-nes,s travelling passenger
agent Of the Missouri Pacific. has just re-
turned from Nashville, where he attended
the annual meeting OF the American Asso-
citation of Travelling Passenger Agents. lie
declares that it was au unqualified success.
The association fixed upon Chautauqua lake
as the next meeting place because 1t wanted
summer resort rather than a city. Mr.,
Barnes says that II. the New York state re-
sort had not captured the meeting Old Point
Comfort would have done 50. The invitation
from Omaha was well received, but the pas
senger men had previously determined not
to hold their next meeting in any large city.
The local passenger men who could not
attend the meeting are now being regdled
with bright excerpts from Chauncey De-
pew's address, which Mr.. Barnes has thought-
fully committed to memory. Here are some
OF them: THE railway business is the only
business profession or occupation OF any
kind that cultiyates the Imagination. The
travelling passenger agent and the passenger
agent anywhere is the literary cuss OF the
railway world. The literature which he gets
out is the most astonishing thing that is got
ten out from the press. And the most aston
ishing thing about it is that so many people
believe 1t.
1T has been fashionable in the past and
is quite frequently fashionable now to claim
that the railroad man is the enemy of the
republic, and while the lawyers, and while
the shyster the professional politician aud
the disreputable man may be- elected to public
office, the railway man must be tabooed and
must be deprived of the-recogniton which
his talents or his position or his relations to
his community entitle him. Now, we have
submitted to this for & eat many years,
There are 100000 of us now, and there will
be 500 600 ot us ten years from now. These
associations, promoting our pride in our pro
fession, will bring about, and ought to bring
about feeling at the earliest possible mo-
ment tnat when any demagogue seeks to
climb up on our regulations we will close his
career. And we can do it."
Samuel A. Hutchinson general travelling
passenger agent Of the Union Pacific railway,
also represented the Omaha ralrt aders at the
great reunion. He is returning home via
Chicago and is expected here within u few
days.

James Michael is the champion long
distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to take
Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that of thousands of
Others. With the opening of the bicycle
season many young person and hum
dreds of older people who have determ-
ing exercise find themselves really lack
ing the proper "snap'' or stamina to be-
gin on Their bodily condition prevents
SO spirited exercise. They would like to
ride, but they are out of sorts, run down
by winter of work or indoor life. Many
who are really sick, who have suffered
from debility or wasting diseases for a
long time until they had begun to think
their troubles. had become chronic as
nothing gave them relief. would turn to
bicycling for relief. But this splendid
exercise, like any other, requires strength
to undertake. The blood is out of order.
the nerves are deranged, and nature's
food for both is needed.
All such persons will find to their i'm
mense joy that Paine's celery compound,
taken now, will make them well.
Paine's celery compound works won
ders in the spring. If you have labored
under the load of repeated headaches
nenralgic pains and days of nervous de
bility, now is your best time TO get we'll.
Michael is to day the most phenomenal
rider in professional ranks. AS far back
as 1894 he was undisputed champion of
Great Britain, and in the following year
he went to France and scored 25 straight
wins against the picked riders OF Europe.
He has defeated such famous men as
Jacquelin, GougoltZ, Huret, Rivierre,
Bonhours, Dourrillon and Barden of Eng.
land, and Leyten, the Belgian champion.

M'CLELLAN'S WARHORSE.
Something About Dan, the Only Charger
the General Rode.

General McClellan's favorite war.
horse, usually called Dan, was dark
bay, about IL hands high, well bred,
with good action and never showing
signs Of fatigue, no matter how long
the course. He was an extremely hand
some, snowy animal, with more than
ordinary horse sense. Dan was very
fast walker-an important requisite in n
commanders charger-but, disagree
able accomplishment SO far as his staff
were concerned, as their horses in gen
eral were kept on Il slow trot.
After the war Dan became the family
horse ut General McClellan's country
home i'll Orange, and seemed to be proud
Of his position, performing his duties
we'll and easily. On one occasion, when
driven to neighboring estate by two
ladies Of the generals family, and left
united, as usual, ut the door, Dan came
to the conclusion that they had remained
long enough for an afternoon call, so,
declining to waste any more time there,
he trotted back to his stable, carefully
turning out to. pass carriages and other
vehicles met Oh tho way home Dan
died and Was buried i'll Orange
The general said of him: Dan was
one of those horses that could trot all
day long at very rapid gait, which
kept all other horses at galop He
earned from the aids the title of that
devil Dana name that he justified on
many long and desperate ride before /
gave up the command of the Army of
the Potomac. Dan was the best horse
ever had. He was never i'll for an hour,
never fatigued, never disturbed under
fire. Tho dear old follow survived the
war for many years, dying ut ripe old
ago i'll 1870. No matter how long we
might be parted-once for nearly four
years-he always recognized me the mo-
ment we met again and in his own way
showed his pleasure at seeing me. Even
OH the day of his death, which was q
painless one, he still attempted to rise
and greet me, but, unable to do so, he
would lean his head against me and lick
my hand. No soldier ever had IL more
faithful horse than I had i'll Daniel

slip LIGHTING.
How Electrical Appliances Arc Now Utn.
lied For This Purpose.

lied For This Purpose.
When electrical plants were first in
stalled aboard ship, lead incased cables,
run in ordinary molding, were used III
most entirely, and III case of iron ships
tho hull was frequently employed for
the return circuit. The latter method
soon passed out of use, for it not only
increased the fire hazard, but was in
efficient mechanically, and also liable
to give rise to disturbing influences on
the ships compasses.
Lead inoased conductors in ordinary
molding were used OH tho first two
United States men-of-war having cleo.
trio plants-tle Trenton and Omaha
but with unsatisfactory results in each
case. In the latter ship, the electrical
plant of which was installed by the
writer in 1854, the lead incased port
and starboard mains passed through
holes bored i'll live oak knees, one hole
to about each six feet Of run, and tho
writer has vivid recollection of the
difficulties encountered in boring several
hundred thrce-quarter and half inch
holes through about eight inches Of
gnarled oak: very nearly as hard to
pierce rs some of the tougher metals. Jt
is perhaps needless to say that the cost
of labor and tools was no small item i'll
the cost of installation.
Lead incased conductors were finally
discarded, except in some special work,
as the protection from injury to the in
sulation and from moisture, which the
lead sheath was supposed to give, was
found to be illusory. Tents caused
short circuiting OH the sheath of tho
conductors, while punctures, permitting
the entrance Of moisture, led to bad
grounds as well as short circuits
AT the present day what may be call
ed composite system for the installa-
ton of tho distributing conductors is
employed. Equal security i'll all parts
of the installation is the object kept in
view, and to obtain this several systems
are blended together as one. While
molding and flexible conduits are used
i'll the saloons and cabins, the conduct
ors in the machinery spaces and holds
are run in iron coduits, which are thor
oughly insulated on the inside, and
special fittings are employed in passing
through the decks and bulkheads Spe-
cial water tight switches, cutouts and
fixtures arc also used wherever there is
exposure to the weather.
