Barbarism.

Boston, Jan. Professor Charles
Eliot Norton of Harvard college and
John Ward Simpson of New York were
the speakers at the annual meeting of
the Industrial Art Teachers aSsocia-

He caused considerable of a sensation

not risen in the last $500 years above
the best thought of the Greeks. In ex-

Neither they nor their ancestors have

AMONG RAILROAD men.
Stricter Regulations In Regard
to Railroad Passes
Made on the Santa Fe For the
Coming Year.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail
road Matters and
Miscellaneous.

When the holder of an annual or
time pass now boards a Santa Fe pas
senger train and presents his Transport
tation credentials to the conductor, he
is in turn presented by that gentleman
with small piece of white paper. At
the top of this paper appears the fol-
lowing lines:
: Notice to all holders of Annual and ::
Time Passes: ::
On each presentation of your Pass:
:the Conductor is required to obtain:
your signature hereOn to accompany:
:his Train Report. ::
Below this notice is a space for the
signature of the person holding the
pass, and below that a place for the
number of the pass, the number of the
train, date, and the name of the point
from and to which the pass is hOnOred.
When the signature of the pass holder
is inscribed on the slip of white paper,
it is carefully stored away in the inside
pocket of the conductors official coat.
Later, it is sent to the trainmaSter of
the particular division over which the
pass is honored, to be kept on file in
his office.
The slip of white paper is insignif-
icant in appearance, but it is far more
important than it looks BY it's use it
is intended to put stop to all irregu-
larities liable to attend the issuance of
such Irregularities have occurred to a
considerable extent during the past
year on the Santa F'e lines
1t is limited that these irregularities
have not been confined to the loaning
of passes, but that in the matter of
time passes much free transportation
has been secured by persons of influ-
ence for the purpose of revenue. Just
to what extent this has been carried on
cannot be determined, as the railroad
people refuse to talk on the subject. 1t
is understood, however that such has
been done, and that the discovery of
the matter was responsible for the sig
nature plan being established by the
Santa F'e officials.
BY this plan it will be impossible for
Irregularities attending the issuance of
free transportation to continue The
white slips of paper will be kept on file
in each division office, and as they are
received the signature will be compar-
ed. Should the handwriting fail to tai
1y, an investigation will Immediately
result.
The signature plan went into effect
yesterday, and each conductor now car
ries tab of Insignificant looking white
slips.

souri, provides no executive mansion for
its governor, but Mr.. Stephens owns a
very handsome residence in Jefferson
City. 1t is called by the romantic
name of Ivy Terrace, and it has been
the scene OF comfortable and generous
hospitality. Mrs. Stephens is not only
fond of society, but likes to surround
herself with beautiful and attractive
young women. 1t is expected that she
will invite her handsome cousin. Miss
Lucille Nelson of Virginia, to visit her
during the social season, which means
that Miss Nelson will be the belle of the
administration circle. Mrs. Stephens is
a devout member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and while she may coun-
tenance dancing she has declared that
the punch bowl will be banished during
her sway. So the advocates of prohibit
ton may rejoice.
Mrs. Mount, the wife of the farmer
governor of Indiana, is plain, unpre-
tentious, retiring woman who is entirely
unused to society, but who will probably
preside over the governors mansion at
indianapolis with that quiet dignity
which all good American women pos
sess. Social ambitions viii not disturb
her, for she has none, but the necessary
functions will be held just the same
Mrs. Mount is past middle age and is a
grandmother. She is Presbyterian and
takes much interest in church work.
Her unmarried daughter, Helen, is an
accomplished young woman of studieus
tastes, aud her son, Harry, is a divinity
student now at Princeton.
These are some of the women who
will be expected to take the lead in the
social affairs at few of our state CAPT
tails during the next three or four sea-

no wonder, then, that the precedent
which he leaves at Albany is one that
Governor Black and his wife can hardly
hope to follow.
Mrs. Black is a quiet, home loving
woman who has never given any evil
dence of possessing social aspirations.
Neither is she one of those women who
go in much for church work. She is a
Unitarian and consequently liberal in
her religious views. She is not one of
those shrinking, supersensitive women,
either, for she rides bicycle and takes
many trips with her husband and son.
She is com paratively young, being about
SO, has pretty, oval face, good figure
and dresses we'll. In society she has had
little experience, for neither in the Cape
Cod village where she was born nor in
Troy, where she has lived for the last
J. . years, did she move in what, by any
stretch of imagination, might be called
society circles. Yet Mrs. Black is q
woman of sound sense and some tact,
and as mistress of the executive mansion
of the great Empire State for the next
two years she may confidently be ex-
pected to discharge her duties ina cred
liable manner. Albany society, Of
course, will miss the brilliant social
functions which Mrs. Morton presided
over, but not all governors wives can
be expected to be social queens.
Mrs. Scofeld, who, as the wife of
Wisconsin's governor, will be at the
head of society in Madison for the next
four seasons. is another " home" woman,
but she probably has somewhat more
inclination TO shine in society than has
Mrs. Black, for at her home in Oconto
she has frequently entertained. Major
Scofeld is we'll to do lumber manu-
facturer. Oconto, Of course, is not a
place in which to gain wide experience
in social customs, but Mrs. Scodeld will
doubtless acquire what she needs before
she has been many months in Madison.
She is still under so and has two grown
sons, one of whom is married.
The wife of Governor Elect Stephens
of Missouri is enthusiastically described
as charming and accomplished woman,
and it is expected that life at jefferson
City will be full of social gayety. Mis-

the most exacting belle could ask for.
He has not only large means and wide
experience, but a wife who is social
leader in her own right, as we'll as sew

When Mr.. Morton was minister to

P. P. p, Llppman's Great Remedy, Saves
aMah From Becoming Cripple.

Mr.. Asa Ammons, q well known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. just when it seemed that
Mr.. Ammons would become disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re-
suit was wonderful.
p P. SAVES HIS LEG.
Jacksonville, Fla, July /, 1886
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg l ever saw. 1t had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said l had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage commenced to take P. P. P.
and to battle my leg with hot CASTLE
soap suds. 1t began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
sound and useful leg.

Remedy, is all man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi
