Austrian pisintegration.
Mark Twain. in Harper.


Austria therefore, may find herself at any
moment in a position analogous TO that of
Poland on the eve of its ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The only present obstacle to her disruption
and complete transformation as a state is
the life of the Emperor Francis Joseph.
With his demise the fate of the two neigh

Turkey, Will become problematic. The

UNION PACIFIC TAKEN In.
Now Member of Immigrant Clearing
House and Joint Bureau.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The troubles be-
tween the Union Pacific and the roads
which are members of the immigrant clear
ing house of the Western roads have been
settled, and the Union Pacific is now
member OF the clearing house and the joint
bureau in which the Western roads and
the Atlantic steamship lines are members.
For long time the Western roads have
been DESTROYS of securing the membership
of the Union Pacifc. There have been any
number Of small matters in the way, and at
times the charges of misconduct have been
thrown back and forth in lively fashion.
The slate has now been wiped clean and
the Union Pacific has acted in a manner so
liberal toward the Western roads in making
concessions of various kinds that the latter
are highly pleased. The charges of the
payment of excessive commissions that have
been from time to time brought against the
Union Pacific have been proven false, and
for the first time in many months there
is chance of maintaining the immigrant
rates without disturbance. All of the
Western roads unite in praising the Union
Pacific for the manner in which it has met
them.
1t was reported to-day that the Joint
Traffic Association was to get after the
Canadian Pacific road for alleged violation
Of the rules of that organization. 1t was
said that the line of action of the assoeia-
ton would be to make an effort to prevent
the access of the Canadian Pacific into
trunk line territory over the lines Of the
Vanderbilt roads. The relations between
the Canadian Pacific and the New York
Central have been close, and it is said that
pressure is to be brought to bear on the
New York Central to cause it to cease these
relations. The story, although circulated
with greac energy among the Western
roads, could not be definitely proven.
A dispatch from st. Paul says: The st.
Paul-Chicago lines will meet the 500 COM
petition in passenger rates to the East and
the Scalpers are again able to do business
The rates will be SIT. second class, and $18
first class, to New York, with 81 more for
each class to Boston. Some of the lines met
this rate to-day and all the others will par
tcipate Monday, This makes the rate but
cago east. The rate from st. Paul to Chi
cago will still remain at $1150 although the
new rate gives scalperS chance to do
business on through tickets, with Chicago
as field for operation. Some of the lines
are selling by way of Montreal only, but
others have arranged with the Grand Trunk
and the Lehigh Valley lines to open up the
route by way Of Chicago and the Niagara
Falls frontier. None of the lines east of
Chicago, aside from the Grand Trunk and
the Lehigh Valley, has joined in meeting
the 500 competition.

A DIVIDED PORTERHoUSE.
Half the Steak Struck a Woman and
Caused MOOre's Arrest.

John Moore, a butchers clerk on the mar
ket, was arrested last night on a charge of
assault and battery. He was troubled a
great deal by colored man, who insisted
on making the vicinity of Moore's stand

we do, " said very well known house
agent.
1--WE are often "A great deal bothered
by people, most Of whom are women,
who desire that we will hand over to
them the keys of houses, empty just at
the time, i'll which they formerly lived
and in which some relative, dearly be-
loved and much mourned, died. l have
known even mon who would take a
camp stool into house in this way and
sit for hours in the bare and deserted
rooms.
But the worst nuisance is when peo-
pie to whom we have let houses COM
plain that some former tenant posters
them with applications, in respect Of
some particular birthday or otherwise,
to sit for awhile in some room that is
hallowed by associations The COM
plants as to such applications are by
no means rare in business of the ex-
tent Of ours, and the sentimental people
often turn very nasty when they are de-
uicd.

A Philosopher Corrected.

When Benjamin Franklin went 10
Paris as the representative Of the re-
volted American colonies, he had to be
presented to the king. and it was mat
ter OF some solicitude with him how he
should array himself for that ceremony.
He was anxious not TO be considered
lacking in respect for the French court,
where much formality regarding dress
was observed, but he knew it would be
al affoctation for so simple repub-
lican as he was TO initiate the court
dress. He decided, therefore, and wise
ly, to appear in a plain suit of black
velvet, with white silk stockings and
black shoes.
Nevertheless, he deemed it best to
make one concession to the French fash
ion of the time by wearing a wig
something which he had not been &C.
customed to do. He ordered of o wig.
maker the largest one the man had,
and in season for the presentation the
man himself brought the wig and set
about trying it on.
But do all he could the man could
not squeeze the wig on the philoso-
piers head. He tried and tried and al
so essayed to convince Franklin against
the evidence of his senses that the wig
was fit. Finally Franklin said:
Il tell You, man, your wig is not
large enough.
Upon this the Frenchman threw the
wig down in rage.
Monsieur" he said, THAT is impos.
sible. 1t is not the wig which is too
small. 1t is the head which is too large. I"
Accepting the rebuke as deserved,
franklin went to the presentation with
out any wig and found there that the
simplicity of his dress and the honesty
and candor Of his manners won him
more esteem at the court than any con-
cession TO fashion could possibly have
done. Youth s Companion.
