BEATIfHG A RAILROAD.

And 1t Was Done on the Roads own
Tariff nt That.
''It is not often that a railroad can be
beaten on its own passenger tariff
Sheet" said salesman the other day.
according to the ST. Louis Republic.
''Eut there is vulnerable point once in
lwhile, and the travelling man is not
slow to take advantage'o of it. '''
"Such an instance happens on the
Burlington road between Leavenworth,
Aan., and st. Joseph, Mo-, and is of al
most daily occurrence. ..
-" The new man gets on the train at the
KANSAS town and tells the conductor
hat he wants to go to ST. Joseph. The
conductor pulls 81 miles from the mile
ige book-the scheduled distance
ives him transfer ticket to St. Joe,
nd the new passenger takes UP the flir-
alton with the pretty girl just where
&C left off and is satisfied. The old trav-
Ter, however, tells the conductor that
le goes to Atchison, and the railroad
representative pulls 21 miles, returning
lis book with transfer to Atchison via
\rmour Junction. This is to compete
with the Missouri Pacific on the west
side of the river. .. ...t
AT Armour Junction the traveller
.hanges his mind, remains OH the st.
Zoe train and gives the conductor II
miles, the scheduled distance to the
Missouri city. lie has complied with all
the requirements of the passenger tariff
and vet is ahead just 13 miles"

CRUSHED THE CONDUCTOR.

4 Pnssenger's QEicL< wit RountlIy Re-
proved His Grufrness.~ "a
The passengers on crowded cable
car the other day were immensely
"ticliled" at the discontinue Of q con-
duetor, who was both rude and dis
obliging, but was clevcrly circumvent-
cd, says the New York Commercial Ad-
rcrt;ser.
The conductor handed five pennies in
change to q well-dresset woman. She
requested that nickel be given to her
instead, as she had no purge and the
pennies would probably Ice lost. Gentle
as was the request, it irritated the con-
ductor, and he said: mo, l have to take
pennies and you can do the same. They
will buy just as much as 4 nickel" The
woman remained silent and the coli
ductor proceeded down the car.
At that moment n man who was about
to pay his fare touched the lady's arm
and handed her a nickel, taking in cX
change the pennies, which lie immedi-
ately gave to the conductor. 1t was all
done quietly and quickly, yet many saw
the I,lay, and all who did smiled with
satisfaction.

THE RAT-CATCHER OF PARIS.
An. Omcial Who Has CuuSht Over
1,OOO,GCO Rats in His Time,

The French are essentially Il prac-
ttcal people. They leave little to
chance, and this is probably why they
Grr so successful in E,isir rss, SENS the
:3.icti'h. Par:s boasts OF ~: Official rat
catcher, certain NJ. Henri payve, VIII,
q. la his way, qu;ie Il character. He
.3S served the TOW L in his capacity of
Ai5f rat eXecutioncr for 35 yeara, aLt!
nc tells with pride that during that
time he has caught, unaided by the use
of a trap, over 100000 rats with his
own hands. He is extremely proud of
his profession, and on his card is en-
blazoned n crest formed by two rats
rampant.
Nowadays NJ. Dayve's labors are COM
paratively unintercsting, but during
the siege the official rat-catcher made
small fortune, for not only the com
mon folk but the purveyors of the great
restaurants were only too glad to pay
go cents each for well-fed rodent. In
deed, in time plump rat ran up to
us much as GO cents. NJ. Dayve and
!'is assistants-for his post is by no
means a sinecure-searched out their
victims in the famous sewers. NJ. Elyve
often turns an honest penny by selling
live rats to those who delight in what
may be styled a rat battue, for there
is very little sport about rat-cat ching
conducted on the prepared rodent plan.
An amateur will often pay as much as
$13 for 100 live rats.

COUNTING. OF The VOTES.
In Recent Elections There Has Been LIZ
RE Fraud In New York.

In Recent Elections There Has Been Li1-
tie Fraud In New York.
The counting of votes has been in
the past more fruitful of trickery and
Justification than any other part OF
the election process. In 1893 the caN-
.vassers in certain districts reduced the
matter to its lowest terms by simply
reporting n unanimous vote on their
side, and then going out to fling up their
hats for the rest OF the night. In the
subsequent election competent and in
corruptible men supervised the canvass
so strictly that the percentage of fraud
was. so small, if any existed, as never to
be heard of. This watching, says a
writer in Century, at the count not only
prevented intentional lying, but savel
accidental mistakes. In one case the
board of inspectors confessed they did
not know how .bo count the votes, and
submitted entirely to the guidance of
well-informed watcher.
The counting is done in public, and
is often an interesting sight Every or.
ganization and each candidate may
send a representative to observe it,
though nobody but the inspectors is
permitted to touch the ballots. The
straight tickets are first counted in tens
by four.men in succession, and a tally
is kept by at least two assistants. Each
name is credited with as many votes
as there are tickets for his side. Then
one inspector reads off of those tickets
which are split or have pastors at
tached, or upon which names have been
"rased or new names written, and each
candidate is credited with vote every
time his name appears. When this is
finished the most prominent Office is
taken up, and the sum of the votes for
each candidate is ascertained.

uP-TO.pATE BURGLAR.
Breaks Into Safes with Machinery and
Saves TimaL

Breaks Into Safes with Machinery and
Saves Time.
The modern burglar is adopting mod
ern appliances. The jimmy bids fair to
become relic of the past before long.
A recent burglary in France illustrates
this fact, says the New York Journal.
A gang of ingenious craftsmen ell
tered bankers Office armed with q
steel saw of the newest construction
and handy little gas engine. There
was no need for the exercise of muscle,
nor was there any necessity for good
strong wrist at the saw as there was
at one time in the annals of famous rob-
berries. -F9r
The little engine was started, the
saw put in the proper place, and the
connections made. Seating themselves
serenely upon q couple of chairs near at
hand, these modern burglars watched
the true and rapid work of their appli-
anceS.
The big safe might have resisted for
hours the force of human hands, but
the saw, impelled by the engine, it
could not stand against. 1t promptly
yielded up its contents of over $4,000
worth of gold and bonds, and in a quar-
ter of the time it would have taken to
have committed the robbery under the
old conditions the burglars were well
out of the building with their booty. <

ment to the committee on rules. -

of the tariff bill was resumed at the
paragraph relating to Aubusson, Ak
minister, moquette and chinelle carpets.
Vest moved to strike out specific rates.
The vote was II to "a, four. short ola
quorum. A call of the senate brought
80 senators to the chamber and Vests
amendment was rejected by a vote of
q to 26. -
Consideration of the wool schedule
was completed at o'clock. : Vest of
-fered a number of amendments which
were defeated, the schedule being
adopted as suggested by the finance
committee. The silk schedule was
taken up. =-,e
The silk schedule precipitated
lively debate, Wastern and coast sem
ators contending that the committee
rates were excessive, prohibitive and
burdensome.- They claimed the rates
ran from 10 to 700 per cent. .Platt held
that the government figures showed
the rates to average Sc per cent. Eff
forts to reduce the committee rates
were rejected.

PORTLAND, Or, June 27.-Last night
there was q representative gathering
of souud-money democrats at the office
of c. E. S. Wood, pursuant to call to
organize a Jefferson CLUB. The meet
ing was attended by many democrats
who last November either openly re-
pudiated the bryan and Sewall ticket,
nominated at Chicago, and supported
General Palmer, or else openly gave
their support to the republican ticket.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after s o'clock by c. E. S.
Wood, who briefly and succinctly
stated the Objects Mr.. Wood spoke
earnestly on the subject, and his re-
marks met with general approval. In
the running discussion which followed
there was a variety of sentiments ex-
pressed as to the name by which the
organization to be formed should be
called. Many favored the, original
idea of calling it the Jefferson Club.
Others suggested that tie name of
Cleveland could be appropriately used,
and still others, who still have a lin
gering regard forthe word democrat
thought that the name of Democratic
Union" would be proper. 1t was
finally agreed that the name of Jeffer-
son Club be adopted temporarily, and
that a change could be made at some
future meeting if general desire was
shown that the step be taken.
Permanent organization was then eff
fected by the election of the following
officers: President, Zera Snow; first
ice-president, J. Couch Flanders;
second viee-president, Lazarus Acker-
man; secretary and treasurer, A. King
Wilson. The permanent officers will
constitute the executive board. The
roll of membership has now about go
names, and the projectors of the or
ganization have assurances that many
more will join.
Article two of the constitution
adopted by the club, defines its objects
to be as follows: The purposes of the
club shall be az to promote the prin-
ciples of the democratic party as de-
clared in the platform of principles
thereof adopted at the national con-
vention of the party which convened
at indianapolis, Septembe 8, 1896; ~
to encourage the organization of like
political clubs throughout the state: (3)
to take part in political elections in the
state when the best interests of the
party demand.

the cant-hook and threw Grout on the
lower saw. Before the carriage could
be stopped the saw had passed length

X-Rays to Detect Smuggling.

PARIS, June 25.-The government
has adopted X-rays to check SNUG
Cling. Director Pallain, of the French
customs service, has ordered that
Crookes tubes be kept in all the large
customs Offices. Hitherto vast guam
titles of jewelry have been concealed
in the legs of tables and ink recep-
tacles. 1t is believed that by X-rays
the presence of such articles will be
readily detected.
