WASHINGTON, Feb. Representative
Harrison Of Alabama has made n report TO
the house from the committee on Pacific
railroads on the bill for the settlement of
the affairs of the Pacific roads by a COM
mission. Mr. Harrison says that it has
been demonstrated that it is impossible TO
place the questions involved in the gov
srnment's relations with the Pacific roads,
with all their technical Details before con-
Qress in such "a manner that intelligent
action can be taken. The report continues.
"The debts due tho government are
daily growing larger and the means Of
payment smaller Foreclosure proceedings
are pending against the Union Pacific,
and this road is likely to be sold and the
governments claim against the same dis
posed Of before the next regular session Of
Ilcongress. II this should occur, the most
valuable and important part Of this great
lline of railway across the continent will
have passed into other hands without the
preservation TO the government OF many
valuable rights and privileges it now has.
1t is argued that better price can be
obtained for the Union and Central Paci-
ac sold jointly, but that congress cannot
conduct the necessary negotiations. The

The best judicial mot ever recorded is
that Of Sir George Jessel, the late mas

The Woman In Black.

One Of the most familiar characters
TO be seen daily about the city hall and
park is a pretty, sweet voiced. gentle
hammered little woman. apparently
about 80 years old. She is known by all
denizens and frequenters Of the city hall

ed promptly a little after o every work
ing day for four years Her husband is
employed in the department of public
works, in a neighboring building, and
regularly every morning the two togeth-
er leave their hcme in an uptown street.
She accompanies him to the elevator in
the building where be is employed, rides
to the top, goes with him TO the Office
door and sees him remove his coat and
hat. Then she goes TO the city hall,
where she remains until noon, when she
gees to the door of his Office building
and accompanies him back to the city
hall, where, either in corridor or jury
room, they cat their lunch. After lunch
the programme Of the morning is repeat.

his coat and hat have been removed,

PETTUs' Love POKER GAME.
The Alabama Senator Has Won and Lost
Thousands at One sitting.

The Alabama Senator Has Won and Lost
Thousands at One sitting.
A gentleman from the south told the
following story to writer for the Chi
CagO Times Herald: Senator Edward
Pettus of Alabama is an inveterate card
player, with fOndness for poker that is
well-nigh human in devotion. If the
time that venerable gentleman has spent
in the game could be summed up many
years uld stand on the debit side OF
his lite ledger He has won and lost his
thousands at one sitting. But to my
story. There lived in Gen. PettuS town,
Selma, Ala, in the '70s, IA wealthy rail
road president, Major Lanier, of the old
Alabama Central railroad, running be-
tween Selma and Meridian, Miss, now
branoh of he South 3rn railroad system.
The major aud general were doom
companions, with friendship almost as
strong as that of Damon and Pythias.
They used 10 spend their summers at the
majors summer home IN Talladega,
above Selma. Both of them devoted
most of their time to playing poker.
since the railroad president was equally
fond of the game. old Manuel the
majors colOred body servant, would sit
at the table and keep account of the win
nings and losin2s, being the banker
At the end of each year he would render
accounts promptly, and whichever was
indebted to the other would hand Manu-
ell check to square up the game. At
the end of one year Gen. Pettus owed
the major $4,000, another year the ma
jOr was indebted t. the general for So
900, and so the game would run. 1t was
never higher than 81 limit, and was kept
up until the majors death"
