'Howdy? How are you?" said the stout
passenger on the trolley car, as he dropped
into the nearest seat and deposited several
bundles behind his feet, says the Atlanta
Constitution. Have much Christmas over
your way?' he continued by way of opening
O. conversation after his greeting had been
turned.
"Oh, had a very nice time Awful nasty
weather. though. l just stayed in the house
all day and drank eggnog,' returned the
other.
Speaking about drinking" the first man
continued, you know that wine of mine
the kind sent you over. Well, my mother
in-law makes it herself. She knows how 10
go about 1t, and 1t is simply the finest thing
l ever drank. Well, 1 had been Dragging
about it some time to several of the boys,
and told them to just drop around any time
and we would crack a bottle"
"Did they Gomez asked the other.
You bet they did. That's what I'm tell
ing you about. Christmas eve they came
around and brought their instruments with
them. 1t was about II o'clock, and they
played awhile on the front porch before |

Then l went after the wine glasses and

l had 1t all poured out and each man had

II did not want any myself and so stood
by the fire with my hands behind me- Each
man took sip, made a wry face and set
down his glass. After time one man drank
his. and when I insisted on again filing up
his glass he looked like he did not want it
He took it, though, and drank it, too

IS REPORTED, WILL FINALLY
QUIT
DALLYlMG WITH THE COUNCIL,
VICE PRESIDENT GOODRICH GIVEN
AS AUTHORITY FOR THE
STATEMENT
THAT THE TRANSIT COMPANY
VIII Consider Nothing More Than
IN Ordinance Changing the
Cable to Electric.
DALLYING WITH THE COUNCIL.
THAT THE TRANSIT COMPANY

All negotiations between the mem
hers OF the council and the street rail-
way company have been declared off
1t was given out last evening at the
meeting Of the assembly that Vice
PRESIDENT Goodrich had notified one OF
the members Of the board of aldermen
that no further time need be wasted
ln preparing ordinances OF in endeavor-
Ing TO patch up a measure which would
be acceptable. Vice President Good
rich stated that the company would
accept an ordinance changing the cable
TO an electric line, but further than
this nothing would be considered
Some of the councilmen were of the
opinion that there was nothing to the
report, but Aid. Kenny, when seen, said
the statement was correct and that
Vice President Goodrich had handed
out his ultimatum to Aid Sanborn.
The understanding at the meeting of
the board Of aldermen Tuesday night
was that by Monday evening, to which
time the aldermen adjourned, an I'M
outstanding would be arrived at be-
tween the council and the company
ana an ordinance satisfactory to the
company would be presented. The de-
c1slon Of the company, as announced by
Vice President Goodrich, leaves the
street railway problem just where it
was when the present council took
charge Of the affairs of the city The
assembly has passed the Albrecht reso-
luton forfeitfng the franchise of the
company for the Fourth street cable
line. This measure is now in the hands
OF the committee on streets Of the al
dermen. and it has been claimed that
there were sufficient votes Of the al
dermen to pass the same. That the
company has taken an aggressive
stand in the matter Of considering any
future propositions from the council as
to changes leads those who have given
the discussion attention to conclude
that the company has aScertained that
the Albrecht resolution cannot be
adopted by the board of aldermen, even
If 1t Is desired. Assistant Corporation
Attorney Phillips has given an opin-
ion that 1t takes but six votes In the
board Of aldermen to pass the Albrecht
resolution forfeiting the cable fran
chise. The attorney for the company
however, claims that as 1t took a two
thirds vote to grant the franchise it
Will require that number of votes to
forfeit 1T and the company, it is claim
ed, knows that it will be impossible to
get eight votes in the board of alder
men for the forfeiture measure. 1t
was, however, remarked that the pro-
posed mass meeting may have had
something to do with this result

STORY OF PRIVATE RowE's PAY.
He Put Up $4,000 and His Regi-
ment Got Their Money.

When the Civil War broke out an
immense meeting was held in Bridge
port, Conn.,, and many men volunteered
for the army, says the Youths Com
panion. To the general surprise, one
Of the richest men in the state, Elias
Howe, the inventor Of the sewing ma
chine, arose and made this brief speech:
every man is called upon to do what
he can for his country. I don't know
what I can do, unless it is to enlist and
serve as a private in the Union army.
I want no question; am willing to
learn and to do what I can with a
mt sket."
But it soon proved that the chronic
lameness from which Howe suffered
incapacitated him from marching with
a musket, even to the extent of stand
ing sentry. Determined to be Of USE
however he volunteered to serve the
regiment as it's postmaster, messenger,
and eXpressman.
Sending home for a suitable horse
and wagon, he drove into Baltimore
twice a day, and brought to the camp
it's letters and parcels. 1t was said that
he would run over half the state to
deliver a letter to some lonely mother
anxious for her soldier boy, or bring
back to him pair Of boots which he
needed during the rainy weather.
For four months after the Seven
teenth Connecticut entered the field the
government was so pressed for money
that no payment to the troops could be
made, and there was consequently
great suffering among the families OF
the soldiers and painful anxiety en-
dured by the men themselves.
One day a private soldier came quiet
ly into the paymaster's office in Wash
ington and took his seat in the corner
to await his turn for an interview.
Presently the officer said:
"Well, my man, what can I do for
you?"
II have called to see about the pay
ment of the Seventeenth Connecticut -
answered the soldier.
The paymaster, somewhat irrftated
by what he supposed needless and
impairment interruption, told him
sharply that 'f1e could do nothing with
out money, and that until the govern
ment furnished some 1t was useless for
soldiers to come bothering him about
pay"
"I know that the government is in
straits returned the soldier. II have
called to find out how much money it
will take to give my regiment about
two months pay. I am ready to fur
nish the amount"
The amazed officer asked the name
Of his visitor, who modestly replied,
ELIAS Howe" He then wrote a draft
for the required sum-$31, 00O Two or
three days later the regiment was paid
When Mr.. Howe's name was called NJ
went up to the paymaster's desk and
signed the receipt for $2S.65 of his own
money.
The officers of a neighboring regiment
sent over to the Seventeenth Connecti-
cut to see if they could not borrow

SO fast as 1 was before l married and
settled down to the sober joys Of matrf-
mony."
His record for nine hours, so far as
MS knowledge extends is unequaled.
1t was made in Louisville KY. five
years ago, under these conditions:
he was making pictures in the win
dow of wholesale store, and one day
the proprietor asked him what he sup
posed to be his limit Of production.
Il don't know" said Engelhardt. but
[ think I can do $50 small pictures In
a days work of nine hours" BY Small
pictures" he meant landscapes measur-
Ing 10X16 inches.
TN bet you $1,000 that you can't"
said the proprietor; who, being a Ken
tuckian, was filled with sporting blood.
This was great deal of money for an
Grant knight of the brush to risk. but
he was something of a sport himself
Til go you" he said. The money
was put up and the bet duly adver-
tised in all of the local papers. Being
after the nimble dollar, the merchant
wanted to get some benefit out of It,
even though he lost. On the appointed
day Engelhardt began work at in the
morning, and even at that hour the
street was packed with people, It was
one Of the stipulations that he was not
to be interrupted, and he painted stead
lily on in silence. At 1 o'clock he took
an hour off for lunch, which was ex-
Guided time. At o'clock that evening
the ttmekeepers called a halt EngeI-
hardt had finished 1872 pictures, done in
his usual style. The merchant handed
him the roll of $1,000 with a gracefr,
bow and invited him to take a drink.
He accepted.

WHY ONE SECRET CONTRACT

At Prices Away Below What the
State Is Now Paying for Its
Citizen So1diery.
WHY ONE SECRET CONTRACT


A comparison Of expense lists filed In
the office Of State Auditor Dunn shows
some very interesting figures. 1t will
be remembered that about year ago
or more, the contract for furnishing the
state militia with their equipments was
awarded to the Henderson-Ames COM
pany, of Kalamazoo, Mich. The meet
ing at which the contract was awarded
was q secret one, and the prices at
which the goods were to be paid for
was denied the press, as the G b e
mentioned at the time. A possible ex-
PLANTATION of these curious incidents Is
afforded by a comparison Of the bills Of
the Kalamazoo concern with those Of
the contractor who furnishes the suits
for the veterans at the soldiers home.
The following are the prices paid by
the soldiers home board for suits IN
which to wrap the decrepit and feeble
forms of the men who fought for their
country; Pants, 81; vest, s1.50; coat,
1928 This makes the total cost Of a
suit s1075.
Similar bills rendered through the
adjuatant generals department show
the cost of clothes for the dress parade
militia Of the present day to cover a
wide range. From a few bills inspect
ed yesterday the G b e picks these
items: One overcoat, $40; blouses, $5.25
to Sc; dress coats, $S.75, SIT and many
other prices between. A musicians
dress coat Is entered at $10.25; a lieu
tenants trousers at &c. Still another
blouse, which, from the price, must
have been, If not for a general, at least
for lieutenant general, Is charged at
$3.50. Five dollars more for blouse
for the parade boy than for the entire
suit for the hero Of the late war.
Epaulets and other adornments are
added in the bills to the figures above
given.
