Ralph J. SAKE, Boston shoe drummer.
related an instance which occurred At 1
Dali game in Baltimore this summer that
70 certain extent shows how the Down
Fastener feels towards us.
After the game began. drunken row.
dy came into the grand stand ana took a
seat down In 'front.' In "a moment he be-
gan GUESSING and yelling, much TO the dis
comfort Of the ladies and gentlemen pres.
ent. ~
y stood this for quite alwhile," continued
Mr. SAKE. when my patience becoming ex :
nausted, ! told the rSirfian that II he did
not let up that would have the police
put him out. He replied that lie held A
season ticket and he be id II lie would
not stay just as long as he desired. One
WORD brought on another, until he ex-
claimed that II did not like II Inn, l
could help myself to fight answered
that l would have tho police to put him
out, and that would give him all the
ngnt ne wanted after the game was over.
Just about this time friend OF mine
from Huntsville, Texas, recognizing me
came up and said Hello, Raiph! How
are you? When did you leave T'exus?'
And when the ruffisn heard this he thought
! was from Texas and at once sneaKei out,
and could not find him anywhere After
that the audience were not disturbed dur
Ing the game. and 1t was one OF the best
games l ever Witnessed"

T. p. A. NOTES.

Mr.. g. v. Holland, representing the San
tone Express, was in Ell Paso Thursday.
Some OF the South Texas boys have
changed their minds about attending the
Dallas fair.
Mr.. William Scofield, representing c.
Koran & Co. of San Antonio, railroad sup
plies, stopped at Del Rio Friday.
Some Of the boys are writing vigorous
Kicks into headquarters on account of
being tied UP in Jim Grow" towns.
1t is to be hoped there will be a good
attendance Mt the meeting of the board of
directors In Dallas ON the night Of the 22d.
Walton Smithers had only one kick
that was that he got caught in Houston
this time on the quarantine instead of
Huntsville.
Mr.. Nicely Young, representing the sill
verware house Of W. B. Kerr & Co. OF New
York. was in Ell Paso Friday en- route to
California.
Mr.. Louis Brown, representing Plant &
Marks Shoe Manufacturing company OF
Cincinnati, Ohio. was en- route to Ell Paso
Thursday.
Mr.. Issy Fork, representing NJ. Half &
Bro, general merchandise OF San Anto-
MO. is working his Western territory. He
worked Maria Thursday. oza
Mr.. P. ]. Burgess. representing the Hous-
ton Drug Co., pulled out from Houston for
his home In Seguin Sunday morning, as
coon as he received the yellow fever news
from Galveston.
Mr.. d. w, Mfchaux, representing James
Butte Of Houston caught the Western fever,
and was aus much at home selling paints
and wall paper in 0l Paso Friday as II he
were only ten miles from Houston.
just SO the travelling man can get
Post every day they are all right. But
when quarantine officers act so ridiculous
as to burn the papers or not let them be
put off, they have very Just kick coming
to them.
We want the hotels to understand that
1t is especially important that they ar
range for clean, nice toilet rooms. On ac-
count Of the fever scare, to say nothing Of
the convenience of travelling men, in which
a great many seem not to care.
Mr.. Ralph j. Sake. representing Marcy
Bros. Co., (shoes) OF Hartford. Conn, ar
rived in San Antonio the early part OF the
week, accompanied by his estimable wife,
and left for a tour of the West Thursday.
Mrs. Sake win remain in San Antonio un-
til his return.
John Cross, chairman livery and trans
fer committee. was in Houston Sunday.
His territory is nearly all Guaranteed
against the world. Anyhow his firm In
Galveston can not ship goods SO John Is
getting a much needed rest. and will have
time to formulate plan to get bus lines
to reduce their fare to rs cents the round
trip.
Mr.. L. e. Turner Of New Orleans. rep
resenting j. & P. Coats thread, was Ia
El Paso Friday, and will work back to
San Antonio this week. Mr.. Turner Is
very much distressed on account of his
wife being In New Orleans and not being
able to get out and the additional tact
that her mother is quite ILL., Verify, this
quarantine doth certainly destroy peace Of
mind

navy. According to this the boilers ire
completely filled with fresh water, ard

tubes, there is added TO the water GER

ton of soda; In the case Of tubular boil
ems with small tubes milk of lime or soda
is added. the solution. however. not be-
ing so strong as for the larger tubes, In
order TO avoid any danger of contracting
the effective area by deposit from the So
lutipn. The strength OF the solution Is
to ba lust sufficient to neutralize any acid
ity of the water. Care is enioined to be
taken to preserve the outside OF the steel
or iron tubes In those boilers which are
not to be used for long PERIODS: such are
for this purpose painted with red lead or
coal tar as far as 1t Is poszible TO retcc.

CAME HOME.
Young Vanderbilt and His Bride
Back from Europe, but They Find
No Welcome from His Folks.

NEW YORK. January 10.-NIr. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr., are home from
Europe. There has been an endless
amount of gossip about them during their
honeymoon abroad, so their arrival here
was an event in the eyes Of the people
who know them.
MIR. and Mrs. Vanderbilt were among
the first TO come down the gang plank.
The Vanderbilt family was conspicuous by
its absence. None of the members was
present 10 welcome young Vanderbilt.
He was met by r. T. Wilson, father OF
Mrs. vanderbilt. a young brother Of his
wife. and Mr. and Mrs. L. Suffern Taller.
Mr.. Vanderbilt said he did not care to
say anything about how they had spent
their time in Europe or about their future
plans. His father-in-law said the young
couple had no plans for the present. They

reached the ears Of the boys parents. and
Cornelius. Jr, was packed off to Europe.
About this time GIr. and Mrs. r. I. VIII
son decided that European air would ben
eft their daughter. oddly enough the
vo1re people crossed on the same steamer.
soon the engagement was announced.
The Vanderbuts bitterly opposed the
match. and on one preteXt and another
the marriage was several times postponed.

the operator draws back the lever, and

There is a side lever for turning or

car wheels within a few feet Going

WASHINGTON. January 1O.-Congress-
man Dayton doesn't like the idea of hay
ing a new postmaster appointed at Har-
pers Ferry at this time. as he fears the
new appointee viii be allowed 10 serve
out his term under Mckinley, thus keep
ing some Republican out Of a nice job
for four years It is understood Mr.. Day
ton has written Postmaster General VIII
son. urging that no appointment be made
at Harper's Ferry by The present admin
istration.
Even if Mr.. Wilson were disposed to ac-
Commodate his successor. as member from
the Second district. it would not be pro-
pei for him 10 90 so. as there is a vacancy
in the Harper's Ferry office which the
law and the regular workings Of the pos
tai system require shall be filed as soon
as possible The office is now in charge
of the daughter Of the late postmaster.
She was designated according to custom.
TO have charge of the Office temporarily,
as representative Of the 6ondsmen of the
late incumbent. 1t is likely the nominal
ton Of the new postmaster will he sent
20 the Senate next week. As already stat
cd in the Register the appointee viii
either be Miss Wentzell. now in charge,
or Wm. CONWAY, q young business man Of
Iarper's Ferry. 1t is possible that when
the appointment goes TO the Senate, Con-
gresham Dayton, with the help of Sena-
tor Elkins, may have it hung up until az
ter the 4th of March, thus accomplishing
his purpose Of keeping the place open for
a Republican.
