Railway Notes.

A meeting of general passenger agents
and accounting officers of the Western
roads has been called for at Chicago next
Tuesday to arrange some plan of keeping
the accounts in connection with the sale Of
the interchangeable milage tickets.
The Illinois Central to-day will inaugurate
it's through service to Jacksonville, Fla.
At the same time some changes were made
in the starting time of its fast trains be-
tween Chicago and New Orleans to enable
the road to make better connection with it's
through cars for Jacksonville
The income Of the Atchison system from
operation for the month Of October was
$1,145,14S, an increase of $156201 over the
same month of last year. For the four
months of the fiscal year to Oct. 81, the in
come of the road from operation has been
$3173 745. an increase of $531, 5S5 over the cor
responding period of the preceding fiscal
year.
The proposed meeting of freight officials
of Western roads for the purpose of con-
sidering the rates between Chicago and
Colorado points has been abandoned for the
time being. 1t is generally conceded that
meeting can result in no permanent good
as long as the roads are compelled to meet
such low rates as are now being made to
Gulf of Mexico ports.

An American Girls Luck.
Portland Oregonian.


A private letter from Monte Carlo re-
counts an extraordinary run OF luck made
by one of the players, an American girl, at
a roulette table. She went there merely to
see the gambling. of which she had heard
so much, and. becoming excited. obtained
permission from her escort to venture one
gold piece, and only one If she lost she
would play no more. IL she won she would
play with her winnings until they were
gone. She placed the coin on No. 13, and
the turn of the wheel was in her favor.
Her escort entered into an animated argu-
ment with her to take what she had gained
and to be content with her experience. She
reminded him of the terms of the agree
ment and while the controversy was going
on the croupier gave another turn to the
wheel, which, when Ii stopned. showed the
same number as winner. AS her money had
remained on the table, ii was increased
thirty-fold. Again urgede to remove her
gains and to cease playing, she became
angry and left the money on the same num-
Der, with the intention of losing il. Once
more the ball stopped in No 10. and her
single gold piece had Increased TO hand
some little fortune. which she was at length
prevailed upon TO pocket. Oddly enough.
the next turn OF the wheel stopped at the
same number, but. as 1t had already come
up three times nobody played it.

looking with wistful eyes upon a climax so
neat so convenient, so touchingly simple;
How often one would like TO break off and
present to the public this time-honored
tombstone by way of accounting for some
refractory hero or heroine. But the frame
of mind to which it successfully appealed
the "dainty-woful sympathies," are no
longer to be counted on.
The heroine of these stories invariably
has a complexion of dazzling fairness,

recent floods threaten to cause famine in

w. r. Biggers in company with ten other
men, who walked into the city, said there
was already a scarcity of food in Monte

five hundred people was to get out as
quickly as they could. In some places the
railroad track, roadbed, steel rails and ties,
ballast and all have been swept out of
sight The rails were broken as if they
were glass or bent into all sorts of fam
tastic shapes by the flood. The Mystery

PLACE AND TIME FOR INDIANA l.. A.
w. DIVISION MEET FIXED.
Officers Appropriate $500 for the Az
fair-POOIing Among Profession
ais to BE Investigated.

The state board of officers of the L. A.
w met last night at the Hotel English and
formally chose Terre Haute as the place
for holding the annual division meet. The
board of officers also voted an appropria-
ton of $500 to help defray the expense of
the meet and to advertise it extensively
throughout the State.
There were present at the meeting Wal
lace Sherwood, chief consul of the division
George Stacey, secretary of the division
H. B. Hassen, of Jeffersonville, chairman
of the tour committees Louis Imantt. of
Lewisville Frank r. Levering and Frank
Ertlelmeyer These gentlemen compose the
board of officers. A delegation of members
of the Wabash Cycling Club, of Terre
Haute, was present and laid before the
meeting the claims of their city for the
meet and the plans of the Wabash Cycling
Club for taking care of it. The committee
was composed Of George Rossell, l. former,
w r. Teel E. P. Hamilton and Charles
Nehf Mr. Rossell acted as spokesman. He
told of the work of the meet club, which
was organized at a time when it was be-
leved the Wabash Cycling Club could not
we'll take charge of the meet. This club
had raised a guarantee fund of $500 and had
added over hundred members to the ranks
of the L. A. W. Then the w. G. c. found
that it could handle the meet without en-
barrassment and the meet club surrendered
to the whole organization. In two days the
guarantee fund was increased to 1900 and
will be made double the amount II neceS"
sary. Mr. Rossell also said that the league
membership at Terre Haute would easily
reach two hundred before the meet
The vote to give the meet to Terre Haute
was unanimous. 1t had been expected that
the division would give something toward
advertising the meet, but $500 was more
than it was thought could be raised and
was at least 500 more than was expected.
A statement from the secretary, however,
set aside the belief that the money could
mously agreed to contribute this amount.
The date for the meet was not definitely de-
cded though it will be the second week
in August. There are baseball games which

who are determined to see if they have any
rights the public highways This is
the second time Nightengale has run
down wheelmen He refused to give the
road to Ikerd but drove on him at great
speed and. according to the evidence ex-
claimed as he drove past without stopping:

tiOnaIly ran down the wheel. and only for
his expression as to that being the second
he had got he might have escaped on his
first trial The Nightengales are well-to-do
and are noted for their staying with a
