Satisfactory Condition of the Affairs of the
Pullman Company.

New YORK. Oct. 2O.-Mr. Pullman
was in this city on Friday last, and
while discussing with business associ-
ates plans for distributing part of the
Pullman company's surplus, talked
very freely on the future of the great
system which bears his name He laid
especial emphasis on-the complete or
g~anization which existed. and, as il
with some thought of retiring from ac-
tive management, alluded particularly
to Vice-President Wicke's ability tc
carry on the business in a perfectly
satisfactory way. Mr.. Pullman seemed
tc believe that the internal workings
of his company had finally been
brought to such perfection that his
w supervision was no longer neces-
sary to insure the continuance of its
increasing prosperity.
Those to whom Mr.. Pullman talked
in this strain on Friday last recalled
his words yesterday and discussed their
strange significance.
The only matter which, in Mr.. Pull
mans mind, remained unsettled was
the distribution of the S25, 900, 600 of
surplus which, it is said, has accumu-
lated during recent years. Plans for
the distribution of this surplus have
been frequently discussed. the one
most persistentIy urged being the
doubling of the stock. MIR. Pull
man was opposed to this, and author
ity was receptly invested in him TO ar
range a plan to settle the matter. 1t
IS believed here hat only within thu
last few days Mr.. Pullman had sue
eeeded perfecting satisfactorily the de-
tails of his plan for the distribution Of
the surplus.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


"h-'lNtiIoN, ~. ~. NOV. /, lSFf.
President Mckinley left Washing
ton for Ohio, where he goes to cast
his vote, in p very genial state of
mind, and no wonder. He last week
brought to a successful elimination
Il bit of financial manipulation which
will save the people Of this country
~Sl3,OOO,OOO in cash, and will gain his
administration great credit in the
pages Of history. He became con-
WINGED some time ago that there was
no good eason why the government
Of the L. ;. should lose anything by
the sale of the Union Pacific Rail-
road under foreclosure of mortgage.
The first guarantee bid of the rcor-
ganization committee was aboutSl3,-
100000 short of the claim of the gov
eminent against the road. When
the date of the sale was set for Nov.
2, President Mckinley caused the
committee To be notified that it must
raise it's bid, or the government
would take al appeal from the de-
cree of the court ordering the sale.
That frightened the committee, and
after more or less growing it raised
its bid ~S6,OO0,O00. Again the COM
mittee was notified that President
Mckinley insisted that their bid
should be further raised, to an
amount equal to the claims of the
government against the road, or he
would ask che court to postpone the
sale, in order that other bidders
might be found. Regarding them
selves as the only likely bidders, the
members of the committee paid no
attention to this notification, except
to intimate that they didn't care if
the sale was postponed a few weeks.
Then the application for a postpone
ment was made TO the court i'm be-
halt Of the government and at about
the same time the committee found
out that there would be another bid
der at the sale, if it was postponed,
and that it would be the United
states government, President Me-
kinley having determined to buy
the road rather than allow others to
buy it at a price less than the gov
ernment's claim. The committee
tumblcd of its perch without regard
to its dignity, and added 100000. to
its bid, which makes it certain that
the government viii receive one
hundred cents ON the dollar for its
claim against the Union Pacific rail
road, President Mckinley, having
beaten the h]nauciers at their own
game, then directed that the appli-
cation for postponement of the sale
he withdrawn. aud il will take place
this week. Attorney General Me
kenna says the Interests of the gov
crnmcnt will be equally well taken
care of in the sale Of the Kansas
Pacific railroad, which will ho post.

LITTLE MONEY IN MEAT.
How Restaurant Proprietors Suffer From
the Make Up of Menu Cards.


If all restaurant proprietors, " said
n of them, who has been we'll known
as the owner Of a Broadway eating
place for the last ten years, could on.
~ induce their customers t. eat less
meat they not only would make more
money, but they would give better sat
lsfactlon all round. In the first place,
there is little or no money for the re-.
taurant keeper in selling boiled or roast
meats. 1t costs too much to handle them
and re- ulres too much time to prepare
the-L and serve them as they should be
TO leave any profit for the man who
does it.
And in the second place the patrons
order meats when they would much
prefer something else, That is the fault
OF the proprietor. He arranges his menu
wrong. The small steaks. the chops and
the outlets and all the other meats 10
order are placed too c~onspicuously on
the bill OF fare. A mans eve is bound
to catch that list first. whether the man
wants meat or not. Being in a hurry,
as 80 mel out Of 100 are in the country,
he orders the first attractive dish be
finds, and the result is he gets some.
thing he does not care particular,
about and something which the restau-
rant man does lot care particularly
about selling TO him.
Last winter the man who runs the
restaurant in the national house of rep
resentatlves tried an experiment which
turned ont remarkably well. He DELHI
erately set to work to lure his patron,
sway from the steaks and chops to or.
der column, and 50 instead Of printing
1t IN bold black letters in the middle Of
the bill Of fare he tucked il away down
IN the lower right hand corner and
placed at the top Of the card a list a
the dishes that We're most profitable 20
nm, They proved not only to be most
profitable 70 him, but most satisfactory
his customers and instead Of using
SIX loins Of meat "a day, as he had doue
he used only one and a half and
supplied the same number of guests. -
