A Bureau of Information.

The RECORD Office is not a rail
road office but it is rapidly becon-
ing a bureau Of information, and
if you are planning a trip OF any
extent for business or pleasure
and are not sure of your route or
connections YOU may obtain all
desired information here. We
have timetables and maps of all
railroads, which our friends have
consulted frequently of late.
Our extensive travels in America
enable us to speak intelligently.
A gentleman who recently had a
hurried call to the West, failing
to obtain the desired particulars
where he most expected he could,
was finally referred to this office.
In fifteen minutes his route was
laid out-the route where he
would get the best in speed, safety.
comfort and scenery and con-
nections guaged, and an hour later
he was on his way. A few days
later we received grateful
acknowledgment that he had
made his connections as outlined,
with lots of scenery and comfort
thrown in.

DEWEY HATS AND TIES.
Haberdashers and HatmaIxers Have
Adopted the AdmiraIs Name
for Their Goods.

The fact that Rear Admiral Dewey
is the most unpretending man in the
world has not prevented the naming
of a score of articles of dress after
him. The Dewey derby is low
crowned and broad brimmed. The
Dewey tile is tall and rather slender
for the size of its rim. Quite digni
fled hat, you would say, even for an
admiral to wear. The Dewey Alpine,
on the other hand, is very soft and
made of canvas. 1t is the hat for trav-
cling.
Dewey neckties come all made up
with hook and clasp for uniting them

at the back. This is particularly true
of the string tie. The hand-over-hand
tie is broad and so tied that it ends in
point in front.
1t is a strange commentary upon the
perversity of affairs that Admiral
Dewey is far away where he cannot
obtain these articles of dress; and
stranger still to know that even were
he here he could not wear them except
upon rare moments, off duty.

The article in the RECORD last

would.
Several parties have called here
for information on the subject of
"locations" and houses to rent, and
were promptly referred to the

any one to think that we have set

dealers; we have enough to do to
attend to our own business. But
any one desiring information on the
above subject will receive it cheer
fully and without cost at the

One woman's Venture in Live Stock,

From the Boston Herald.
 A woman in Virginia is making money by raising sheep. She is a school teacher, and she has a home, with some acres of land which she had rot time to cultivate, but which she wished to turn to account She spent twenty-five dollars paying Sa a head for ewes, and then turned her flock into her pasture land. Of course, they increased, and she raised what she could care for on her land, selling the rest as soon as they were of market able age. She gave only about one hoar a day to them and paid a boy fifty cents week 10 keep the sheep sheds clean aud the fodder cut up. She has been in the business about five years The first year she came out $40 ahead of her experiment At the end of the fourth year she had flock of sixty ewes, all she could keep with her pasturage, and in wool and mutton she found she had clear yearly in- come of $450-
 Because the pasture was not large enough, and because she had her school duties, and so had no great amount of time to give to the flock she did not increase 1t beyond the number given: but she considers that she has a fiue income for the tune she devot es to the work She declares. too. that, in spite of their stupid ways and their predisposition to dirt, her sheep both amused and interested her, and were of all ventures she made at swell ing her income the most profitable. the least troublesome and the special sort of live stock most likely to flour ish under feminine management.

ACCEPTS.
Spain'sEnvoys
Yield.
NO DEBT FOR US.
Settlement to Be
Strongly Resisted.

Paris, Oct. 27.-The Spanish govern
ment through its peace commission.
has aequiesced in the refusal of the
United States to assume the Cuban
debt. Senior Montero Rios, the presi-
dent of the Spanish commission. and
his colleagues, with faithful insistence,
sought another result, but they have
finally agreed that the Cuban article Of
the protocol shall without condition,
have a place in the ultimate treaty of
peace.
BY this act Spain has abandoned her
attitude OF claiming any concessions in
CUBA and Porto Rico as a matter Of
right, and has now simply thrown her
self on the mercy of her conquerors.
The Spanish representatives did this at
yesterdays session of the joint peace
commission. acting under instructions
from Madrid. They pointed out that
only by some relief from the Cuban
debt can the complete ruin of Spain be
aVerted, and submitted facts and fig
ures in proof of their declaration. The
conference adjourned for "a hours for
the purpose of allowing the American
commissioners to consider the question,
and of permitting communication with
Washington.
1t is learned from a good source that
the SpanIards think the American gov
ernment is under a Misrepresentation re
specting Spain's policy. The Washing
ton government thinks that the gov
eminent at Madrid wants to diliy daily
to gain time, whereas all that the Span
ish government desires is to obtain suf-
ficient concessions after a cruel war to
enable Spain to live honestly and pay
her debts. The Spanish commissioners
this informant says, have come to
Paris to make treaty of peace enab-
ling Spain to remain a nation. They
wish Ia avoid the absolute ruin of the
country hence their pertinacity in con
testing vital points. The Spanish com
missioners are not greedy. They are
willing TO make large sacrifices accord
ing to the adsgc "Vae vietis' (Wot
to the vsnquished) but naturally hest
tate to sign the country's death war
rant.

Large Number Of Government officers
VIM ee Exempted From Its Operation.
Washington, Oct. Pit is understood
that presidential order exempting a
large number of government offices
from the operation of the civil service
rules will be promulgated, probably
shortly before Thanksgiving day. The
order is one which has been in contem-
9lation for many months, having been
deferred from time to time, owing to
pressure of war business. AS at pres
ent determined upon, the order will af-
feet upwards of 5000 places. 1t will in
clude deputy collectors of internal rev.
enue, who are authorized to become
that capacity There are about 1000 of
these deputies. The largest class af-
fected is the corps of examining sur
geons of the pension bureau, of whom
there are in all over 400. over 5000
of these surgeons are stated at the civil
service commissions office never to
have been classified under the civil SER
vice law. The order will clear up the
misapprehension as to the actual stat
us of the whole corps and place them
all outside. About so office deputy mar
shals heretofore reported as classified
but concerning whose status there has
been some doubt because or their be-
ing in the judicial bracheS of the SER
vice. are expected to be placed in the
exempt class There are other scatter
ing positions, including some of a fiduc-
iary and confidential character, which
will aggregate possibly several hum
dred. This is the scope of the order as
outlined in official quarters, but 1t is
subject to further modification before
being finally passed upon.
