DEBTS OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Old Man Takes Pride in Hunting Tn
His Once Satisfied Creditors.


A case of rather remarkable CONNER
cial honesty has just come to light. In
1875 one of Springfeld's well-known
shoe dealers found himself SO embar-
raised by depreciation in value of stock
and the difficulty in collecting accounts
that he failed and made compromise
with his creditors of so cents on the
dollar.
After % years. reports the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican. the merchant,
now considerably over 20 years old,
has settled all those old claims I'm
full, paying the balance unpaid at that
time, amounting to several thousand
dollars. There was no claim on him
other than that of his conscience.
al his creditors had signed paper
acknowledging their satisfaction. and.
in fact, large number of the original
papers had been destroyed, so that the
merchant had to settle in accordance
with the figures he had in his posses
sion, paying over money in some cases
TO heirs, or to surviving partners who
knew nothing or had nothing to show
of the original transaction.
The conscientious old shoe dealer Is
very anxious not TO have his name APP
pear-his act would lose its merit
through advertising, he says.

at Williamstown, Port Phillip, when a
widow came on board to select cabin, as
she intended taking passage in our vessel.
The steward was ashore. So the chief Off

visitor, Mrs. Beaumont, by whom I was
fascinated and with whom I fell in love in

it was bitterly cold. compass, chro-

from land, with the vast wide waste of
waters around us and the pale blue sky

we were separated from our friends; the
bulk of the stores were in their boats, and
we had scarcely food and water, even

LETTER FROM A BRAKEMAN
He Says That the Officials In Tue
son Are Not to Blame For the
Irregular Running of Passenger
Train No. 10.

The HERALD q few days ago publish
ed an article to the effect that no de-
pendence could be placed upon the ar
rival of the s. P. passenge- train
from the west, due here at 1:30 O'Clock
in the afternoon. The HERALD cited
the fac that the time made by this
train between Tucson and Dragon
Summit was only Is an
hour miles while thes speed
necessary to attain between
Lordsburg and this point was In the
neigh borhood OF forty miles hour.
There have been many
complimentary reference made
to the article of which the
following is one. It is written by
brakem an and reads as follows:
ITO the HERALD: Your reference to
the uncertainty of the s. P. passenger
train No. 10, is extremely we'll timed.
The fault, however, is not with our
superintendent's office in Tucson, as
many suppose, but with the brass col
lars in San Francisco. After the pre-
sent time card, known as No. Is, was
issued one of the engineers expressed
the wish that the nigh officials would
permit the call boy at Tucson to make
out the next one for them, May the
good Lord preserve US from any more
such time cards as No. Is.

bestowed on certain crews, and he be-

run his train and requested to be given

To Move on the West.

In Chicago within the next fortnigh t
the Interstate commerce commission
will begin q series of meetings with
western railroad presidents similar to
those whichswere held in Washington
with the chief executives of eastern
lines. just when these meetings will
be started western presidents have not
yet been notified, but several have
learned that they are to be held. One
report mas it that the first meeting will
be this week and another fixes the date
at ten days hence.
To these meetings the chief execu
tive officers of ali western roads will be
invited. The commissioners Will tell
them that hereafter the responsibility
for irregular rates, discrimina tiOns of
all kinds and concessions of every
character will be laid at their door
instead of ct that of the traffic man
ayers. They will be asked to cooper
ate with the commission in q serious
attempt to keep rates upon q firm
basis. The commission fs of the
opinion that more can be accomplished
in this way than in any other, and
that honest cooperation of the rail-
road presidents will bring about very
good results, both to the trauspOrta-
ton companies and to the public.
1t Is probable, too, that q number of
the leading shippers will be asked to
meet with the commissioners while
they are in Chicago. Under the inter-
state commerce law the person who re-
ceives the benefit OF cut rate is equal
ly guilty with the person who gives it,
and the commission intend to impress
this fact upon the shippers.-Buffal
