PULLMAN PORTERIN COURT
Claims He Was Defrauded by the
Company Monthly.

st. Louis, June 4.-If half the story
told by John T. Brown, cOlOred, is true,
Duke" Pullman is as hard a task
master as he has ever been pictured.
Brown is plaintiff in a suit which is to
be tried in Justice Simmons court next
Thursday.
He sues for the collection of wages
to the amount of $ST. Until recently
Brown was a. buffet car emplOye run
ming between St. Louis and Nashville.
Fensky of the Temple building, the at
torney engaged to prosecute the case.
Brown says the Pullman company
agreed to pay him a salary of $25 per
month His duties were numerous He
made himself generally useful in the
buffet department in addition to doing
porter work.
On leaving terminal points the ne
grOeS in the Pullman service are re-
quired to sign an itemized receipt for
the stock of linen and table supplies
sent out
The stock is put on the car and the
signing of the receipt is done such
short time before starting that the ne
gro has no time to take an inventory
to see if he really has everything for
" signs the receipts in the midst of a
rush of work incident to starting and
trusts to luck for results. That is all
he can do if he retains his job with
reaches the end of his run a cOmmiSSa-
ry officer of the company checks up
the stock.
He has the receipt signed by the ne
gro and this he compares with the
stock on hand If anything shown on
the receipted list can not be found, the
value of it is charged to the negro.
The strange part of it, so Brown re-
lates. is that the cOmmissary officer al
ways discovers a shortage. Brown says

OVERMYER'S BROTHER
Withdraws From the Race for Con-
gress in Indiana.

John Overmyer, brother of David
Overmyer, will not go to congress from
the Fourth Indiana district. A local
paper which publishes a notice of the
withdrawal of Mr.. Overmyer from the
race says:
John Overnlyer of North Vernon has
withdrawn from the contest for the
Democratic nomination for congress-
man from the Fourth district. His act
is a surprise to his political friends
here, who had been led to believe that
he stood an excellent chance of secur-
ing the nomination. In a card to the
Democrats of the district he states that
he withdraWs in view of the differ
ences of opinion among Democrats in
some quarters, growing out of the fact
that for a number of years acted
with the Republican party on issues
arising out of the civil war His
withdrawal, he says, is in the interest
of harmony, believing that [ can best
serve the great cause of bimetallism
and other allied measures by pursuing
this course -

Secret Society Members Barred.

Dublin, Ind, June 4-The United
Brethren general conference has decfd-
ed on four bishops, placing one on the
Pacific coast. The report of the com
mittee on secret organizations did not
lessen the opposition of the church to
secret societies. One of the important
points enjoined upon each minister is
not to place the name of any member

sHARKEY TRAINING.
Choynski is Teaching Him to Become
More Scientific.

New York, June 4.-Judging from the
great amount of interest which is being
taken in the approaching 20 round con-
test between Peter Maher and Tom
Sharkey, to be decided in the Palace
Athletic club on the evening of June 8
there should be the largest crowd pres
ent that ever witnessed a boxing con-
test in this vicinity.
Maher is in fine fettIe, and the best
judges cannot see where Sharkey has
any chance of winning. The reports
that come from Sharkey's training quar-
tiers say that the sailor pugilist is in the
finest shape of his life. He is already
planning to challenge Fitzsimmons aft
er his fight with the Irish champion.
Joe ChoynsIi is supervising Sharkey's
training, ard boxes several rounds with
him each day. These practice bouts
with Choynski are doing great service
to Sharkey by teaching him the more
scientific style of fighting of which
Choynski is a master. Tim McGrath
and Tom Lansing, Kid McCoy's former
sparring partner, are also assisting
Sharkey in his preparations.

1t would be hard to find a more strik-
ing instance of the folly of protection
as the real cure of economic depres-
sion. While the British exchequer is
full to overlooking, the American treas
ury is suffering from a deficit. IF We
should be fools enough to begin this
business of tariff tinkering, which de-
stroys all commercial stability, We
would soon find ourselves in the same
predicament.

Thanks for and Who to Remember.
The signal and abundant blessings of
the Sovereign Ruler of nations through
nut the year now closing declare the Ii
berty and impose the duty of setting
anart a special day for pra Sc and thanks

In addition to His many mercies, our
State has been spared strikes, disasters,

and gratitude for His goodness and
mercy which "endureth forever" and
beseech of Him an oversight and guild

WILL REMAIN DEMOCRATIC.
Ex-senator Blackburn on the Future of
Kentucky.
(Washing ton Starr

Ex-senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
is at the Wellington, and expects to be
in Washington for a week or ten days.
Speaking with a Star reporter about
the recent election in Kentucky, he said
that the Democratic victory in that
State was of a character to insure per-
manence. 1t was. he said, perfectly
clean-cut victory and a triumph for the
Chicago platform without equivocation.
The State, he said, was now safely
within the Democratic lines and would
stay there, It being sure that the next
United States Senator elected would
be a Democrat. The Democrats elect
ed all but FIVE of the State Senate out
Of twenty-one. Fourteen of the sixteen
Democrats elected hold over and parti-
c;pate in the election of United States
Senator next year. The membership in
the lower house is in about the same
proportion, but an entire new house will
be elected before the senatorial question
comes up, unless Senator Lindsay should
resign.
