Some verses which were telegraphed by q Cuban
patriot from Philadelphia to Baltimore In 1859,
when MI. Carr was 4 telegraph operator. Mr..
Carr has since boon a Finance Commissioner
and a leading Republican politician in Jersey
City. He says that he preserved the original
copy, partly because 1t was the 1rst poetry he
had ever seen offered for transmission over the
wires and partly on account Of tho turmoil
which then existed in Cuba.
Mr.. Carr was employed in the office OF tho
House Printing Telegraph Company. and re.
members that the despatch WAS handed in by a
young Cuban. 1t was addressed to Brantz
Mayer, Esq.,, Baltimore. and IL as follows:

The COin Comes Back.

The large sums that are carried away
from Monte Carlo are very few and far
between. Generally what is won in one
day is lost the next. There are no
amusements Of any kind. The admins.
tration looks after this detail with ad.
mirable Judgment. Everything is abso-
lutely concentrated in the casino. This
is the magnet pur ct simple. You have
delightful concerts free Of charge, the
atrical performances with the very best
of talent at extremely moderate prices,
but all within the walls of the all alb.
sorbing casino.
Very few can resist the magnetism Of
play. II you win even a small sum, you
feel obliged to continue; If You lose,
you wish to regain, and so it goes on
until in the end you have dropped more
than you can we'll afford and are obliged
to retire a sadder but wiser man or wo-
man, with the option of applying to the
casino authorities for the wherewithal
to return home. This request is never
refused a player who has lost. -Ludgate

Men Who Cater to Them

That the restaurant business in Berlin
is a paying one, if the location chosen
be a good one, She restaurant of the co.

Der of wears it was leased by a maj who

Of his money. There were days in sum-
mer when he sold 1000 kegs Of beer.
besides some 20, 900 cups Of coffee and
SO, 900 sandwiches. and as prices are
high there he must have made thousands
of dollars in a single day.
Fortunately for the public. another
caterer now supplies the hungry and

he paws twice the rent for the restau-

terms of his contract a matter Of almost
800, 900 marks for Improvements. Yet it
is probable that be, teo, will retire at
the end Of his term with a fortune.
There are many instances of this kind
in Berlin. One of the finest and most
highly priced restaurants on Unter den

matter of 900. 900 marks. The owner
of a cafe on Friedrlchstrasse who start

ABSORPTION of Hawaii and Philip

Country
Likely to Open Up an Immense
Transcontinental Shipping
Business.
Great Northern Secures the Pa
cifc Coast Steamship
Company.

CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-The Chronicle
says: There are strong indications that
the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
and the Chicago. Rock Island and Pa
citic roads are figuring On extending
their lines to the Pacific coast.
The absorption of the Hawaiian and
Philippine islands by this country, it is
thought by the owners of these roads,
| will open up an immense transconti-
mental rail business both east and west
bound. The recent deal by which the
Santa Fe will have its own line into San
Francisco in the spring has awakened
the officers of the competing semi-trans-
continental roads.
An officer Of one Of the Western roads
who has just come from the coast and
who takes a keen interest in railroad af-
fairs out there, says:
II would not be surprised to wake up
some morning and find the t%ranscontin-
entail situation further complicated by
the announcement that the Burlington
was to be extended to the Pacific ocean.
coast than most people imagine. and l
understand that this road has been sur
veying through Idaho all summer-one
line through Nez Perces Pass and
another through Lola Pass. I under
stand also that two or three independ-
ent lines that are now being built in
Western Idaho and Northeastern Oregon
are intended eventually 70 form part OF
the proposed western extensions of the
Burlington.
Another point of interest in this con-
nection is the fact that the Burlington
is a large holder of valuable terminal
and dock properties at Grays Harbor.
which would be of great value to the
company. We're it to enter the Orien-
tai trade. Such an extension would
also form a sort of short route from Ia
coma to New Orleans"

minus of the Rock Island. and Billings.

former company would soon purchase

place its terminus 400 miles furthe,

his company Is figuring on absorbing

learned regarding the Burlington's in
