AMONG RAILROAD men.
Passenger Agent Black Insti-
tutes a Reform on PuIlmans.
To Ride in Lower Berth Re-
Quires a Cash Fare.
Passengers Riding on Passes Must
Take What is Left-How the
Rule Came to be Adopted

From Chicago comes the announce
ment by telegraph that the Santa F'e
has changed its policy and hereafter
will not permit persons holding passes
to file on the lowers in a. Pullman, until
at least, the company has reason to be
Ieve that cash passengers have all been
accommodated.
This move is creating vigorous kick
ing among the deadheadS who hate to
ride in an upper. However, the Santa
E'e management in Chicago has nothing
TO do with this important change. To
Nv. J. Black of Topeka belongs the en-
tire credit of the reform system which
has been adopted The necessity for
such d rule came home to Mr.. Black a
few days ago on a train from Topeka
TO Denver.
Hoping to get his letters out of the
way, he telgraphed to Chicago for the
6taterOOm OF No. to be reserved for
himself and stenOgrapher. When the
train reached Topeka the Pullman con-
duCtOr informed Mr.. Black that he had
sold the StateGOOm to a bridal couple
who had got on at CarrOlltOn, but that
he had saved a couple of lower berths
for him
'TAn right Mr.. Black said, in his
cheerful way. This road is run for
cash The lowers will do for me-
At Burton the Frisco had three
Denver CASH passengers for No 5. They
wanted lowers and there was but one
left. The situation was laid before Mr..
Black anCl he surrendered his claim to
Hhe two lowers and took uppers.
Going to Kansas City a. few days af-
ferward Conductor Hank Marshall in
formed Mr.. Black that he had three la
dies on who would take the Santa Fe
10 Chicago if they could get lowers.
MIR. Black telegraphed to George Hag-
enbush TO meet the ladies at Kansas
City and take care Of them. But there
were no lowers. A number of railroad
OFFICIALS of high or low degree had re-
served them all, and the three ladies
bought tickets to Chicago over another
line.
That settles it," said Mr. Black to
his Kansas City subordinate. Here
after cash buys space on the Santa Fe;
to the roof deadheads CO.
But they will roar and make life a
burden to me- Hagenbush pleadingly
replied
Let 'em roar. The Santa Fe pays
mileage on these Pullmans to accOmmo-
date its patrons Send the deadheads
TO the roof, I say
And so it came a few DAYS later that
a director of the road appeared in
George Hagenbush's office and wanted
TO file on a lower.
reply.
Are they all gomez"
No, but Mr. Black has ordered that
caSh passengers shall have the prefer
ence- He is after business and if the
people can't get lowers they will take
some other road
Il guess he's right the director said.
but l hate like the dickens to ride in
an upper"
But the director who lives in Topeka.
was fortunate enough to pick up a low
er and as he was taking his supper with
some friends in the diner that night he
related Mr.. Blacks experience and the
boycott OF deadheads which it led to.

from the depot and he feared that they
would soon wilt because of the heat of
the closed-up room. He carried the vase
into the 1andlady's room and told her
that she might have the flowers as they
would soon wilt in his room. The lady
received them and appreciated the gift.
Two days afterwards Mr.. Kelly passed
by the landlady's door and noticed the
flowers were just as fresh as when he
had given them away, and he wondered
at it. The lady saw him standing by the
door in wonderment and she laughed at
his expense. She informed him that the
flowers he had left in her charge were
artificial. The ex-senator looked confus-
ed and made apologies suitable to the oce
casion.
In Lawrence several months ago Mr..
Kelly brought home a new suit of clothes.
and in the evening decided to dress up
in them. AS it happened his sons dress
suit was in box near the new suit and
Mr.. Kelly got them mixed.
Coming out on the front porch where
there We're visitors Mr.. Kelly stepped out
in front of them and asked for their opin-
ion of his new suit. The company was
convulsed with the sight of the tall,
slim form of the senator in a dress suit
which was much too small for him. He
soon realized his mistake and laughed as
heartily as the rest.

HER BOOK IMPROPER.
Library Censor in San Francisco Crit
cises Mrs. Atherton's Work

San Francisco, May 24.-It was Joseph
nations Committee of the Mechanics
strife over Mrs. Gertrude Atherton's lat
est book, Patience Sparhawk and Her
Times"
Mr.. Leggett will have none of the spar
hawk person. He stakes his reputation
that she is unwholesome and that the
book about her is not of the variety with
which the shelves of the Mechanics Lii
brary are best adorned. Behind his OBJ
jections to the work are his numerous
reasons, but they have not been of
character to restrain men and women
who make books in this community from
becoming greatly exercised over the
shutting out of Mrs. Athertons volume.
'I will not be drawn into controversy
over this matter" said Mr.. Leggett. Il
took Mrs. Atherton's book home and
do not pretend to have read it thorough
ly but I read enough to make me entire
Iy certain that it is not a wholesome book
I will stake my reputation as a man and
as a literary critic that dictum. 1t
is not a book I would want to see in my
daughters hands.
Il have been made to say that the
book was clever enough I did not say
that. I do not think the book is clever.
It does not appear to me as having great
literary merit. In fact, much of it strikes
me as being essentially crude in construc-
ton, entirely apart from it's unwhOle>
someness."

KANSAS CENTRAL SALE.
Freight Cars, Coaches and Engines to
be Sold Tuesday.

Leavenworth, May 24-Railroad men
and merchants also are manifesting
considerable interest in the auctiOning
off of the Kansas Central road, which
is to take place in this city next Tues
day The decree ordering the sale of
the road sets forth that the lowest bid
that will be entertained is 5000, 900.
Local railroad men would like to see
the Burlington get the Kansas Central
and to have it put in first class shape
at once. There is some uncertainty as
to whether or not any bids will be made
on the property. The Union Pacific
railroad men are under the impression
that there viii not be single bid.
There are thirty freight cars, eight
coaches and four narrow gauge en-
gines to be sold.

When Armour and Cudahy raise
the price of meats, that is corner on
meats; when the sugar trust raises
the price on sugar, that is a corner on
sugar. When the coal operators COM
bine, discharge their miners and raise
the price on coal, that is simply a
corner on coal. Each of these methods
of fleeing a confding public, seems
to be considered legitimate by the
courts, and by all who are charged
with administering law and securing
justice to our people, but let few
coal miners, or operatives in any of
the highly protected manufacturing
industries of the country get together
and form corner on labor and say
they demand wages enough to live,
